Yellow Submarine
“How has your eclipse season been?” This question has been uttered out of my mouth more times than I can count, since the full moon. While there is an overarching theme of endings and beginnings during eclipse seasons, it is important to note that each person will experience the energetic and astrological effects differently. All I can do is share my experience and hope that it inspires others.
The way that this eclipse season has shown up in my life was by showing me, in the words of Glennon Doyle, “I can do hard things.” This presented immediately for me on September 8th, when the episode of the podcast that I was a guest on in June, was finally released. This was my very first podcast! You can find the podcast, Unpacking Homelessness, wherever you get your podcasts! I guested on episode 11: Creative Compassion and Cosmic Change. Here is a link to the Youtube version:

A quick note on the podcast, these three, brave and incredible humans, Derek, Karcy, and Sam have created a platform for an open discussion about the impact of homelessness. For context, I first met Sam when she came into SpiritWays and booked an astrology reading for her and her sister, Karcy. We began talking about this podcast they started and all they had released at the time was their episode, “Unpacking Our Why.” Listening to that episode, I felt seen because it meant that other people were out there wondering all of the same things that I did on a daily basis. I suggest listening to the first episode prior to listening to my episode to get a full picture of the project! Then, please listen to other episodes if you feel called to do so. Each guest is magic, full of insight, and wisdom!
From the time that I was invited to be a guest on the podcast, until the time that it was released, I went through major waves of imposter syndrome. Who am I to speak of a topic that I have never experienced? To those waves of imposter syndrome, I rode them AND I believed in what starting this conversation means at this time of uncertainty and the rising prices of basic needs.
Full disclosure, I wasn’t able to listen to the podcast until last Thursday, even though it was released on Monday. My self-critic is loud. Yet, through this whole brand-new experience of the jitters from putting my personal point-of-view out into the bigger world, I learned that my self-critic needs to shut (the F) up! Once I listened to it, an interesting thing happened, the discomfort from the waves of the imposter syndrome felt different. While I can say that I am definitely in an uncomfortable eclipse portal of growth, I am also feeling deeply authentic. Nurturing my own voice and putting my perspective out into the greater world has been a hurdle that I have faced for as long as I can remember. Coming out from behind the scenes and being at the forefront of my own business is one of my biggest challenges. Guess what? These challenges can no longer be dismissed and as I have confronted them, I am stoking my internal fire and stepping into my personal power.
Thank you, eclipse season for this uncomfortable and beautiful growth! For this, I celebrate myself and I hope that you can celebrate yourself and your small wins! Small wins can lead to bigger wins!
This eclipse season closes out on Sunday, September 21st with the new moon in Virgo and the solar eclipse. I ask you to identify and take note of what or who you have had to say goodbye to this year and thank it. Just have gratitude for its place and time in your life and the wisdom for it to no longer serve you.
I leave you with these lyrics that have been swirling in my head for weeks, a simple and silly thought and a personal prayer for us to all create our own “yellow submarine.”
“As we live a life of ease, every one of us has all we need. Sky of blue and sea of green, in our yellow submarine.” – The Beatles
