  • Hi lovelies,

    Welcome to another episode of Cosmic Heartist! Today's guest is someone who shares astrology in a way that is so empowering and loving. She was my first Astrology teacher and seeing it through her eyes intrigued me and really brought me into the practice of using the stars as our guides.

    This year, we're seeing some big planetary shifts - we're seeing planets that move every 6-7 years all switch signs in the same year, which makes for some revolutionary times. To talk about this, I thought, there's no one better Jana Roemer.

    You don't have to know or understand any astrology to listen to this, she breaks it all down so beautifully.

    Jana believes there are so many ways to be a Human and within each life, we live multiple incarnations determined by our choices. To explain who she is by listing experiences, hardships or moments of joy only offers a distorted glimpse. We live. We make choices. We deal with consequences. We break, we grow, we forgive, we celebrate, we laugh. This is life. We all do it and it looks different for each of us. In the end, we all long for the same things: To be heard. To be seen. To belong. To love and be loved.

    If she could add a dimension to your existence, it would be that you long to listen in a way that you can hear every single cell of your body through multiple portals of perception in every moment. She believes your body is an ear to the Universe and a map to a hidden reality, a gateway to intuition and that it is our job to release the imprints of our past from our tissues. She believes we are a species in a state of evolution, transforming into a psychic society. Integrity is no longer optional; align with your truth and honesty. She believes that our species’ survival depends on those willing to wade out into the unknown to imagine a future that has yet to exist and then ground that futuristic reality into now. She is a Mystic who appreciates science, yet her curiosity doesn’t end there. She’d rather challenge science than silence her intuition. She came here with an attention to detail and desire for perfection, which untamed could easily drive her nuts and when harnessed is a curious guide to radical new ideas and ways of BE-ing. She is a rebellious provocateur. She speaks things often left unsaid and has learned to be comfortable in discomfort. Jana loves deeply and chooses joy over suffering and recognizes that there are times when a bout of suffering is the only way to that joy. The way she teaches reflects all of this.

    Although she’s found home in many places around the world, Jana’s current home is a quaint little mountain town, on a lake called Nelson, BC in Canada. She has run over a dozen 200 hour yoga teacher trainings, 300 hour YTTs, trained over 350 Yoga Nidra guides and hosted retreats all over the globe. You can find her on Insight Timer, her membership site: Attune to the Moon or in person on a retreat or training! She hopes to meet you in person some day. It will be magical.

    Get a gift from Jana here . If you listened till the end, get a gift from Jana here to experience her Inner Elder Astro Nidra - perfect to practice while Saturn and Neptune are still in Pisces and any time the Sun or Moon are moving through Pisces.

    You can find Jana on Instagram: @jana_roemer or @attunetothemoon.

    Thank you for being here and I'll catch you on the next episode.

    With love,

    Karina

  • Welcome to another episode of Cosmic Heartist lovely!

    This marks episode 30 of season 4 (aka my most consistent podcasting year), and with that, I feel like it's time for a year-end break to recallibrate.

    On this episode, I share a heartfelt thank you to all of you, Cosmic Heartist listeners, who have joined me through this very interesting year. It's been test-y, it's been tough, and my conversations with all the guests on this podcast really gave me so much motivation to pull through, move forward, and continue creating.

    This is me signing off for the rest of the year, and I am so excited to share more heartful conversations with you in 2025.

    As always, if you'd like to connect, send me a message on Instagram, @karinatheheartist. That's the best way to reach me.

  • Hello lovelies!

    Welcome to another episode of Cosmic Heartist! Thank you so much for being here.

    On this episode, we have another beautiful heartist from across the world, Marijo Vollmar. Marijo is a 54 year old Filipino-born, American-raised woman who lives in rural coastal Oregon with her high school sweetheart and their 4 children. She is a physical therapist by trade, working in all hospital settings since 1998, before she opened her own business as a Movement Specialist in her 50s.

    She is the founder of the Empowered Living Wellness Center, which houses a community of women entrepreneurs, all specializing in the healing arts. Marijo began writing poetry a year ago, which led to her debut book published in May 2024. She believes that beauty, vitality, and creative expression are attainable at all stages of life.

    Her energy is inspirational and this conversation is filled with so much magic. We spoke about shifting towards a heart-centered life, how everything is energy, working with our inner-child and inner teen, nurturing our creativity, and Marijo gives a tip for mama's. Hint: it's keep creating.

    We also speak about the evolution of parenting styles, the power of creativity and self-expression, and the value of breaking free from societal expectations. Of course the ribbon on top was Marijo reading to us a poem about flying too close to the sun, which she wrote in the middle of the night, the night before our podcast. You'll hear a bit of it in the podcast intro.

    And for the quote I was referencing at the end of that episode, it's "The earth laughs in flowers." - Ralph Waldo Emerson.

  • Hi lovelies!

    Welcome to another episode of Cosmic Heartist! Today's episode is a solo one because I realize that this podcast is called Comic Heartist, but we don't have an Astrology 101 series so here's the first installment ;)

    In today's episode, before diving deep into the planets, what they symbolize, which archetypes they rule, and how they behave, I read to you a journal entry from 2019 that began the unraveling. If you're curious about how all this began for me, this is a good place to start.

    To connect with me, book a reading, share about your journey or learn more about Healy, send me a message at @cosmicheartsitpodcast or @karinatheheartist on Instagram.

    Sending love,

    Karina 💖

  • Hello lovelies! Welcome to another episode of Cosmic Heartist. A considerate trigger warning that we mention: loss, death, hospitals, suicide in this one. 💖

    Here, I speak with a dear friend who has been such soul balm for me as I have been navigating grief after losing my dad. Our connection was synchronistic and she's given me so much perspective.

    Through this conversation, we talk about our dads, who have both transitioned in the last year, their journeys and struggles and battles, our relationships with them, how they continue to show up for us, and we both read a poem for each of them. One for her Padre, and another for my Papa.

    If you too, are navigating grief, know that we're both here for you! Please reach out through the handles below.

    Lex is 24 & her big three are Gemini, Scorpio, Aquarius. She's a bug lover, tree hugger, hydrophile & horticulturalist, poet, book worm, nature expert. Her goal in life is to make all living beings(human or not), to feel loved, safe, and like they’re wanted on this planet.

    You can find her on Instagram:@lexlovesnature x @poetrybugs

  • Hi lovelies! Welcome to another episode of Cosmic Heartist!

    On today's episode, I have Coral, a beautiful heartist, who began empowering women as a medical provider in gynecology and dermatology.

    As she started awakening to her soul’s purpose, her love for myth and herstory led her to explore the goddess archetypes and uncover the goddess within.

    She discovered that all women carry one or multiple goddesses we can tap into at any time! Since then, her passion has been to awaken and nourish the goddess within every woman via education, holding goddess circles, and doing goddess readings.

    Some things we speak about on this episode:

    Asteroids and goddesses Some common archetypes that we embody An anecdote of "what you seek is seeking you" How connect with different archetypes Dressing suggestions and intuitive reminders What Coral has been upto in Salem Coral's shift from being a PA to her current creative path Finding beauty after sitting in rock bottom Courting ourselves Returning to joy
