Our relationship to aging is being redefined as we evolve as a collective consciousness. In this episode, Ashley opens up about turning 50 this month and all of the fear-based and egoic questions and thoughts that have arisen over the past year. Although age hasn't meant much to either Ashley or Milly in the past, they explore ways that each of them is choosing to mindfully navigate getting older.
In this episode, we explore self-work fatigue. Is the exhaustion and heaviness we experience while healing the result of the work? Or is it the pain we experience when we live an unconscious life?
As always we share our personal experiences with these questions and what we have witnessed as practitioners. We think this conversation will be helpful and insightful no matter where you are on your healing journey.

Often in life, we receive mixed messages. For example:
-be confident but not too confident
-be sexy but not too sexy
-be independent but not too independent
-shine bright but not too bright and many more.
These conflicting messages create a double bind where we feel stuck, unable to express the most authentic version of ourselves. It can feel that either choice available has negative consequences; either we betray ourselves or risk making other people uncomfortable. In this episode, we explore the double bind and ways we can set ourselves free from it.

In this special episode we explore deprogramming and reprogramming the relationship to our creativity, sensuality, and pleasure. Usually, Venus is described as the planet of relationships, particularly relationship to another, however, what Venus actually emphasizes is how we are meant to be in relationship with ourselves first. Learning to be in a deeply committed relationship with ourselves is what allows us to discern our own wisdom and guidance from collective conditioning.
