You are not a collection of compartments. You are a whole, wild, integrated being. In April, I sat down with Edith Wolek for our Wild Woman Spotlight episode. Edith is the Founder and CEO of Emperors Media, publisher of Courage Magazine, and an Amazon best-selling author. She helps women create humanity-centered personal brands, brands that reflect who you actually are, not who you think you're supposed to be. And 2 weeks ago, I released my May Touchstone where I explored wha

Friday night, the sky shifted. On April 17, 2026, a New Moon in Aries arrived, marking one of the most powerful personal reset portals of the year. And with it, a rare gathering of energy: the Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Venus all currently moving through the sign of the Ram. That's seven celestial bodies in Aries right now. If you've been feeling an almost unbearable pressure to begin , to act , to fix , to prove something, you’re not imagining it. The cosmos is asking us to

Back in February 2022, I shared a book on Manuscript Monday that I called "my favourite spin off yet." That book was Janice Hadlow's The Other Bennet Sister , and I meant every word. You can read that original post right here . At the time, I loved how it made me "consider a character in Pride and Prejudice that I didn't consider too much." I never thought to ask: How did Mary feel about this situation? Why wasn't she involved in that storyline? The author answered those q

During this mini episode we turn the Author Spotlight onto Tamu Thomas and her book "Women Who Work Too Much: Break Free from Toxic Productivity and Find Your Joy." We explore a book that is far more than a productivity guide, it's a profound invitation to stop running on empty and reclaim your life. Women Who Work Too Much challenges the narrative that burnout is an individual failing. Tamu Thomas, a former social worker and somatic coach, argues that women are over-functio

Honouring International Women's Day and Women's History Month by Reclaiming the Power of Feminine Connection March arrives each year with a sacred invitation. It is Women's History Month, a time to reflect on the shoulders we stand upon, the voices that fought for our freedoms, and the stories of resilience woven into the fabric of every generation. And at its heart, on March 8th, we gather in spirit for International Women's Day, a global celebration of our strength, our str

Where Old Skins Fall and New Freedom Begins. As we move through the energetic transition from the Year of the Wood Snake toward the Fire Horse, arriving on February 17, 2026, a powerful invitation stirs in the air. It’s not about resolutions or self-improvement plans. It’s a more primal call, one that echoes the shift from shedding in hidden places to feeling the thunder of your own hooves on open ground. The Snake’s phase was one of necessary introspection. It asked us to sh

On this week's Manuscript Monday Sarah recommends " The Wedding People " by Alison Espach. A novel that surprised me in the best way possible. If you've listened to the podcast you'd know that I’m a reader who actively seeks out happy endings and avoids sad stories. So, when I discovered the central premise of this book, I was considering bailing on this book. I worried it would be a story defined by its darkness. What I found instead was a narrative defined by its light, a

On this week's Manuscript Monday Sarah recommends "Forth Wing" by Rebecca Yarros. You know that feeling when a book recommendation hits so perfectly, it feels like a personal gift? That was me this week, utterly consumed by Rebecca Yarros’s Fourth Wing . The credit goes entirely to our own Lindsay (thank you), who first featured it in a Manuscript Monday and then, in the latest Book Interrupted podcast episode, planted the seed: “This could be your next book series obsess

During this mini episode we turn the Authors Spotlight onto Keven Albers and his book “ Helcyon: The Ashen Knight.” We explore a story that is far more than a traditional fantasy, it’s a profound exploration of grief, memory, and the stories we inherit. Thirteen-year-old Bobby Porter is pulled into the unfinished fantasy novel left behind by his recently deceased father. He lands in Helcyon, an ash-choked world ruled by an immortal tyrant, where he partners with Zenobia, a fi

During this mini episode we turn the Authors Spotlight onto Montie Carol Montgomery and her book “Two Squirrels and a Girl”. Born to wealth that the Civil War ravaged, held captive by renegade Comanche, and rejected by family and friends, Mary Elizabeth (“Libby”) Haley ran away from home at the age of 14. Libby learned to navigate the dangerous and volatile Old West and made a name for herself as Squirrel Tooth Alice. Given her moniker because of a gap in her front teeth and
