In this episode, we have a Full Moon in Taurus Tarot reading with Iliana “Ana” Mirabal, a Brooklyn based performer, professional Tarot card reader, Pisces Sun, Leo Moon, and Libra Rising.
Ana shares the forecast for the energy of the Full Moon on November 15th. Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and money. With Taurus, there is an element of pleasure, of wanting to be comfortable and luxurious. Ruled by an Earth sign, this lunar cycle grants us permission to relax and restore. Also with Taurus as the ruler, there is an element of financial gain, materials and objects that bring us joy and how we maintain and care for our physical possessions.
“There’s something that we want to invest in so we’re putting in the time to learn and to grow. We’re very much tending our garden. It’s the energy of the harvest. We have to tend to the crops. We have to see what we grew to see how we want to do better next time. We’re learning, we’re growing. We’re working towards ascending to the next level. ”
For seven years, Ana has practiced the Art of Tarot. As a lifelong storyteller, seeing the world through the archetypes of the cards came naturally. Her mission is to leave her clients with a sense of peace and clarity after each session.

In this episode, we have a New Moon in Scorpio Tarot reading with Iliana “Ana” Mirabal, a Brooklyn based performer, professional Tarot card reader, Pisces Sun, Leo Moon, and Libra Rising.
Ana shares the forecast for the energy of the New Moon on November 1st. We are in full Scorpio season. This lunar cycle greets us during Halloween, Samhain and Day of the Dead. Represented by The Death card in Tarot, Scorpio teaches us the full meaning of transformation, through loss there is growth. With every Death there is a Rebirth on the other side. As Scorpio is represented by the element of Water, Ana breaks down the symbolism of how to work with the element during emotional times.
“When we’re dealing with water - our emotional world, in spirit and in Tarot, the waves are big sometimes. Our emotional waves are big and they can push you down but they can also catch you. If you fall, you fall into water. There’s an allowance to wiping out, an acceptance of being knocked down. The best thing we can do is not resist it, have your moment under the water, let it catch you and then get back up and try again.”

In this episode, I'm joined by Arjan Singh, one of the two co-founders of Jolie, the beauty wellness company focused on purifying the quality of one’s water for better skin, hair, and wellbeing. Arjan’s background is best summed up as ‘left-brain, right-brain’. A natural creative, he has spent time at various brands in both business and creative functions across fashion, hospitality and the broader lifestyle industries, based in both New York and Scandinavia.
Arjan and I discuss everything from starting a business, the value of marketing campaigns to the importance of water in our daily lives and throughout culture.

In this episode, we have a Full Moon in Aquarius Tarot reading with Iliana “Ana” Mirabal, a Brooklyn based performer, professional Tarot card reader, Pisces Sun, Leo Moon, and Libra Rising.
Ana shares the forecast for the energy of the Full Moon in Aquarius on October 17th. This Moon is known as the Hunter’s Moon. With Aries being the first sign in the zodiac, there is always a bit of a fierceness present. The Hunter goes after what they want, while Aries approaches the same idea in a very unafraid way. Aries holds a ferocity that is unapologetic, so you may be feeling this in the Aries part of your chart. The previous lunar cycle had us completing Eclipse season where we may have felt that a chapter ended. This Full Moon offers us a transition from ending to beginning.
“There’s a level of wanting to be really mindful of where we expend our energy. We want to be calculated with it and not just throw ourselves in full force, which is what Aries wants us to do. Our subconscious is represented by the High Priestess, our intuitive trust. We’re being asked to trust what is in our subconscious.”

In this episode, we have a Full Moon in Pisces Tarot reading with Iliana “Ana” Mirabal, a Brooklyn based performer, professional Tarot card reader, Pisces Sun, Leo Moon, and Libra Rising.
Ana shares the forecast for the energy of the New Moon in Libra on October 2nd. In addition to the New Moon we have a Solar Eclipse in Libra, which will be the last one that we have in this sign for several decades. Eclipse seasons are a time of lessons. Whether we are feeling grateful for these lessons or are celebrating our growth, it is a time to reflect on our awareness and our progress. During this pivotal moment, we are being invited to move forward in life with a new perspective.
“The Eclipse unearths the unseen and makes it seen. With The Star card and The Sun card next to each other, they symbolize a distant hope (The Star) being given life (The Sun). The Sun gives an achievable energy to our distant hopes and dreams. We are recontextualizing our subconscious beliefs into something tangible.”

In this episode, we have a Full Moon in Pisces Tarot reading with Iliana “Ana” Mirabal, a Brooklyn based performer, professional Tarot card reader, Pisces Sun, Leo Moon, and Libra Rising.
Ana shares the forecast for the energy of the Full Moon in Pisces on September 17th. When there is a Moon in Pisces it can be a time that is emotionally tumultuous. A reminder that being in our feelings is okay! It’s a time to be extra generous with ourselves. Some of the seeds that were planted in the previous New Moon may now be coming into fruition. There were a lot of themes of growth previously and we are now working with resolution on the horizon.
“There’s a lot of repetition in these lessons. Think of it like a drill, you get better and better at it the more you do it. When we get to the moment of Judgement (card), evolving into our next self, we really want to be ready for it. This is all in preparation for that and there’s a lot of agency in that. It’s not a fast process but rather a feeling of graduation.”

In this episode, I'm joined by Thomas M. Jones, a psychotherapist, author, musician, and founder of an innovative technique, The Paradox Process. The Paradox Process employs negative thoughts in order to produce a perception polarization - essentially how to change your life by learning to direct your mind.
Back for a second time, Thomas and I specifically discuss the topics of love, romance and dating. We focus on how the relationship we have with ourselves greatly influences and creates the relationships we have in the world. We go through the core pillars of how the Paradox Process works in regards to building and maintaining relationships with self and others.
In the world of medicine his approach would be described as renegade, however the proof is inarguable. Jones has been highly successful in his work for the last 50 years with a clientele that includes CEO’s, television journalists, Oscar, Emmy, and Tony Award winning performers, doctors, musicians, artists, health coaches, social workers, psychologists and business professionals across the globe. Jones has shown them how to strategize for success in every area of their lives from manifesting the career of their dreams, to achieving intimate, loving, lasting relationships.
Topics Covered:
Reflecting on the relationship we have with ourselvesCultivating a curiosity about who we areCreating the relationships that we desireHow to navigate our current relationshipsPractices to overcome limiting beliefs and change internal patternsNavigating the differentiation stage of a relationshipAssimilating and integrating into a new relationship“The hallmark of the relationship is does it make me feel more powerful in the world? Does it make me more secure? Does it give me permission and freedom to expand and grow? The value of a partner is that they see you through different eyes and much more empowering eyes. To have someone see you like that, gives you permission to see yourself like that and to go out into the world and be that.”

In this episode, we have a New Moon in Virgo Tarot reading with Iliana “Ana” Mirabal, a Brooklyn based performer, professional Tarot card reader, Pisces Sun, Leo Moon, and Libra Rising.
Ana shares the forecast for the energy of the New Moon on September 2nd. Virgo is the sign ruled by Mercury, which lines up perfectly with us having just ended Mercury retrograde. As we’re now in the shadow period, we still may be tying up loose ends from Mercury RX. Mercury is the planet of communication, intellect and our thought processes. Ana advises that we pay a lot of attention to detail and to take everything one moment at a time, being that we are in an Earth based sign (Virgo).
For seven years, Ana has practiced the Art of Tarot. As a lifelong storyteller, seeing the world through the archetypes of the cards came naturally. Her mission is to leave her clients with a sense of peace and clarity after each session.
“The Death card is the card of rebirth, you have to sit with the times that feel empty to watch new things grow. I see a lot of transformation with the Death card, it’s a metamorphosis card. A time of rest and quiet and knowing there are good things on the horizon.”

In this episode, I'm joined by Jenna Perry, celebrity hair colorist and founder of the Jenna Perry Hair Studio, in Manhattan’s SoHo.
With a pervasive vision and devoted, rapid-growing following, Jenna Perry is cementing her status as one of the most influential and sought-after hair colorists in the world. A consummate authority on effortless, natural-looking hair color, Jenna’s loyal client list includes Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, Jennifer Fisher, Maude Apatow, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Elise Taylor, among other high-profile members of the fashion-girl set. It’s no surprise that her easy yet inimitable aesthetic inspired the term “Hot Girl Hair,” in honor of Jenna’s seductively unbothered way with balayage, the method that put her on the map.
Born in Newport, Rhode Island, Jenna moved to New York City immediately after graduating high school to pursue a career in the beauty industry. She would spend the next eight years mastering every aspect of hair styling and color, until she discovered the art of hair painting, better known as balayage, while working at Ion Studio in Soho. It was there she realized where she wanted to focus her devotion and hasn’t looked back. Now, seven years later, Jenna is heralding a shift in the way we think about hair color. Her philosophy: Hair is our most important accessory, and it has to match your lifestyle; if you have a high-maintenance schedule, she’s going to give you low-maintenance hair.
“Trust your gut. Take care of yourself. Make sure that you have at least an hour to disconnect. If you can do that, you can show up as a better person for your business.“ - Jenna Perry

In this episode, we have a Full Moon in Aquarius Tarot reading with Iliana “Ana” Mirabal, a Brooklyn based performer, professional Tarot card reader, Pisces Sun, Leo Moon, and Libra Rising.
Ana shares the forecast for the energy of the Full Moon on August 19th. As this moon is on the cusp of Pisces, we have two big energies at play. Aquarius energy is humanitarianism, big picture dreams and thinking. In Tarot, Aquarius is represented by The Star card, symbolizing optimism in a resilient way.
Also in the sign of Aquarius is Pluto - Pluto will be in Aquarius until the beginning of September, symbolizing more structural changes. Aquarius is a big energy for the collective, being that Aquarius is a reflection of what’s happening on a societal level. During this lunation we are encouraged to remember our progress.
“Nothing is strict, nothing is too late or missed. You don’t have to discredit yourself for what you have accomplished because you’re not yet at the finish line.”
For seven years, Ana has practiced the Art of Tarot. As a lifelong storyteller, seeing the world through the archetypes of the cards came naturally. Her mission is to leave her clients with a sense of peace and clarity after each session.

In this episode, I'm joined by Jodie Williams, a three-time British Olympian, coffee lover and founder of Listen Journal: a space to be heard. She is a passionate advocate for women and girls rights, particularly surrounding menstrual equity, access to education and empowerment through sports.
In this conversation, we discuss Jodie’s life-long dream of becoming a professional athlete and the path it took to become a 3x Olympian. An athlete since early childhood, Jodie shares how her innate ability to run earned her immediate success in the world of competitive sports. After nearly 150 back to back wins, Jodie experienced her first set of challenges that ultimately helped her gain new insights on who she was as a person and what is truly important. . .
“You start to realize, it’s really about what you can give to other people. To me, that is what success looks like. How many people can I bring up? How many doors can I open on my way up? How can I pour back into communities and areas that poured so much into me? For me, that was the biggest shift. I used to chase metals and success. Now I stand up there and I’m so thankful for all the people that sacrificed something to help get me here.”

In this episode, we have a New Moon in Cancer Tarot reading with Iliana “Ana” Mirabal, a Brooklyn based performer, professional Tarot card reader, Pisces Sun, Leo Moon, and Libra Rising.
Ana shares the forecast for the energy of the New Moon on August 4th. This lunar cycle is in the sign of Leo, which rules our performance and the desire to be seen. Leo is symbolized as the Lion, which in tarot is represented by the Strength card. This card spread encourages us all to celebrate, which is a perfect mirror to this bold and loud season.
Ana reflects on the Venus retrograde in Leo that took place last summer and how we can honor the themes that may reoccur this summer. Following this New Moon, Mercury will go retrograde, Ana shares that although Mercury RX may have a bad reputation, we may find this to be an easier transit! Overall this is a time to invite in adventure, creativity and reciprocity.
“Ace of Wands is very much divine timing. It’s an exciting new beginning card. While our conscious may feel like it’s carrying a past load, our subconscious feels as though it’s a new dawn, it’s a new day. Our subconscious is tapping into a collective new beginning, which puts us into the playful, spontaneity of the Knight of Wands.”
For seven years, Ana has practiced the Art of Tarot. As a lifelong storyteller, seeing the world through the archetypes of the cards came naturally. Her mission is to leave her clients with a sense of peace and clarity after each session.

In this episode, I'm joined by Lauren Singer, environmental activist, investor, entrepreneur, and founder of Trash is for Tossers.
Lauren created and founded Trash is For Tossers, a resource for reducing your waste daily, Zero Waste inspiration, environmental education, and everyday actions that create a positive impact in 2014. Starting as a personal blog, Lauren documented her personal journey of reducing her waste to zero.
Lauren, who started living a Zero Waste 2 years earlier in 2012, first went viral for fitting a year’s worth of all of the waste she’d created in one 16oz mason jar. Nicknamed by her community as the “the girl with the trash jar”, Lauren went on to give a Ted Talk that brought the concept of Zero Waste to millions.
In 2017, Lauren launched Package Free to create a united space for makers of sustainable products that helped to reduce waste, and to make the world less trashy one sustainable swap at a time. As the editorial arm of Package Free, Trash is for Tossers is a place for readers to be empowered with information and tools to reduce their waste and live in alignment with their environmental values.
Lauren is now the managing partner at Overview Capital, a venture fund investing in businesses mitigating methane and other super pollutants at the earliest stages.
“I realized all hope is not lost. Yes the climate has been changing, however we haven’t been investing in the lever that we need to pull to stop warming now, and that lever is methane. We feel we’re just at the beginning of a conversation, of re-focus, of shift into what actually matters in our lifetime which is stopping this methane.”

In this episode, I'm joined by renowned Human Design expert, Erin Claire Jones. Erin uses Human Design to help thousands of individuals and companies step into their work and their lives as their truest selves and to their highest potential. Her work as a guide, coach, and speaker has attracted a growing community of over 240,000 people who turn to her teachings for practical tools, digestible tips, and deeper self-knowledge they can access to live with greater ease and authenticity every single day.
With work featured in Forbes, mindbodygreen, Well&Good, and Nylon; words shared on over 200 podcasts such as Almost30, That’s So Retrograde, Highest Self, and Chatty Broads; and conversations with crowds of hundreds around the world, Erin’s insights are highly sought-after because they make Human Design pragmatic, tangible, accessible — and immediately applicable to everyday life.
Human Design is a synthesis of ancient wisdom and modern science that sheds light on a person’s energetic makeup, as well as specific tools they can use to live at their happiest, healthiest, highest potential. It doesn’t change who they are; it teaches them who they are. It offers insight into what’s possible, and highlights the significance of understanding and living as the fullest expression of themselves. By putting this tool to work in her own life, Erin is showing the world a new way of work, a new path toward success, and a new perspective on living as you truly are.
‘My experience with Human Design is that it’s a massive permission slip for people. It liberates them to build businesses and to show up in relationships and to parent in a way that works for them. It’s this moment of “Thank God, I’ve been waiting for someone to give me this slip. I’ve always known it but never trusted it’

In this episode, we have a Full Moon in Capricorn Tarot reading with Iliana “Ana” Mirabal, a Brooklyn based performer, professional Tarot card reader, Pisces Sun, Leo Moon, and Libra Rising.
Ana shares the forecast for the energy of the Full Moon on June 21st as we welcome in Cancer Season. She speaks about the choices that we’re making. Can we choose resilience a little bit more? Cancer is a water element season, so there can be a lot of emotions that come up. During this Moon we are asked to honor the element of fire as we move towards the Summer Solstice, where there is the most Sun! Fire will be the element that helps us with our resilience.
“Capricorn is the sign that rules ambition and the sign that rules structure, ruled by Saturn. A lot of healing is happening around Capricorn right now because of the Pluto transits. With a lot of healing there is a lot of shedding and releasing. Full Moons are usually the times for that. We want to plan to have time for self expression to let that shedding happen in whatever way feels fit.”
For seven years, Ana has practiced the Art of Tarot. As a lifelong storyteller, seeing the world through the archetypes of the cards came naturally. Her mission is to leave her clients with a sense of peace and clarity after each session.

In this episode, I’m joined by Neada Deters. A former beauty editor, Neada is the founder and lead formulator of LESSE, a line of 100% natural skin care made to transform the way you think and feel about beauty.
Originally from Sydney, Australia, Neada moved to New York in 2012 to pursue a career in media. As editorial director of DORÉ, she led beauty coverage—interviewing the world’s leading industry experts and testing every skin care product on the market. Through this experience, Neada cultivated a profound understanding of active botanical ingredients and formula innovation. As an editor, and someone of Filipina and Australian descent, she recognized a need for advanced, natural, effective skin care that addressed the needs of diverse skin tones and sensitive skin types.
With a focus on shifting paradigms in beauty, Neada self-funded LESSE to remain uncompromising in their approach to ingredients, efficacy, and representation. Personally and through LESSE, Neada continues her commitment as an advocate for several charitable causes with an emphasis on environmental policy, women’s rights, and protection of the most vulnerable communities.
“The biggest challenge was having the courage to launch. I had everything together behind the scenes, I just hadn’t gone live with the website. Being asked by Vogue ‘When is your website going live? We’d love to do a story on it!’ It was the Universe giving me a gift. It was telling me, go forward. Take that leap of faith. Find the courage. I’m so grateful for how that pushed me to say "Yes I’m going to do this.“

Gemini invites us to play, so with this New Moon we have permission to pursue things that make us happy. This spread shows us the theme of wanting to manifest but also the lesson to surrender. Through our grounding practices and appreciating our small victories, we invite and embrace our personal power. This New Moon leaves us in a big moment of culmination.
“Gemini is an air sign, ruled by Mercury, there can be a lot of thoughts going on. Our minds, in the spirit of Gemini, want to go. Things take time, you can sit back and let growth happen around you. You don’t always have to do, you can just be.”
For seven years, Ana has practiced the Art of Tarot. As a lifelong storyteller, seeing the world through the archetypes of the cards came naturally. Her mission is to leave her clients with a sense of peace and clarity after each session.
