"Postpartum won't happen to me" a conversation I had in my mind almost daily while pregnant with my son. I was the most peaceful and resilient I had ever been in my life, growing a human in my body gave me this superwoman mentality, and I expected it to continue on that way once I had him.

Although a doctor didn't officially diagnose me; for almost a year, I struggled with anxiety and looking back most likely mild depression. 

Let's talk about WHAT REALLY happens when you become a MAMA! 

What I've learned is: 

YOUR IDENTITY SHIFTS, who am I now? Whoever you were before having the baby is tossed out the window. You get to rebuild and decide what kind of mom, friend, daughter and partner etc. that you want to be moving forward. Everything gets turned upside down because now there's this little human who's the center of your world. It's no longer ALL about you, and some significant adjustments happen along the way.

IT'S HARD! For many of us, we feel like we no longer fit in our old world, especially if a lot of your friends or co-workers don't have children yet. Holding conversations and NOT talking about your child 24/7 can be challenging. Also, the whole, NOT SLEEPING thing is HARD!

IT'S LONELY even if you have a great support system and a partner there's still this undeniable sense of loneliness that hangs over you, and it hits in waves in your motherhood journey. For me, it hit in the newborn phase, rarely seeing friends and not working. It struck again going back to work being the only new mom at a startup. Popping up sporadically and I was just too prideful to reach for the phone and connect with people in my life. I felt like I was the only one going through it and didn't want to bother anyone. 

IT PUTS PRESSURE ON YOUR PARTNERSHIP, my partner and I have waded through some heavy stuff and some blissful occasions, but becoming a parent adds an extra dose of force on your life together. You and your partner have to figure out a new rhythm that works for you BOTH. You also have to make sure you are giving each other "me time", "friend time" and "together time". Yes, there is this precious new life in your life who needs lots of your attention, but you get to prioritize each other's needs as well. 

IT'S MORE ABOUT HEALING OURSELVES than correcting your child. Our children are learning the world for the first time, so why are we getting so heated that they aren't listening to us? Because we haven't healed from our own childhood wounds of not being seen or heard. I've become so much more in tune with a lot of unmet needs from my childhood; I had to reparent myself to be a better mom for my son. I grew up in an alcoholic home, and so I decided the cycle ends with me. I can't blame my problems on my son or my parents. I had to take radical responsibility for myself and determined what kind of parent + human I wanted to be in this world. I chose to become conscious about my inner world, reactions and learn more about mindful parenting techniques so that I don't project my pain on my son. 

POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION IS REAL and can happen to ANYONE. If you end up feeling depression or anxiety creepy in after birth, DO NOT be afraid to ask for help, to take steps to feel better, mama! I now know the signs, and I will never be too embarrassed or prideful to take the steps needed to get the help I need moving forward. 

My biggest advice is to take motherhood in strides, expect things to change and not remain the same,  move with the seasons, don't put pressure on yourself and ASK FOR HELP! We all need a community or a support system. If you need a fellow mama to chat with, I got you girl DM me. I'd love to support you.

Aries | Self-confident, decisive, forceful, strong, thrill-seeking, desiring, desiring, victorious, explosive, egotistical, passionate, pushy, hotheaded, impatient, inconsiderate, careless

Our Moon sign is the dark + cool side of us that only we see. Aries is well know for its fireball energy that comes blazing through trying to lead the way to wherever their heart desires. The combo of the Moon's cool energy + Aries fiery energy can result in a bit of a nervous nelly mentality. Many people with this sign have a high strung temperament. Aries is the most direct placement for the Moon. Blatantly independent and assertive. There is no hiding how a Moon in Aries feels. No filter needed for these babes they tell you straight up how it is.  They know what they want and have no qualms about asking for it. Like the warrior princess Xena they have great endurance for any hardships that arise. On the other hand they may ridicule others for emotional weakness and sentimental displays of affection. To achieve equilibrium these warrior womxn must strive toward mutual understanding, oblige vulnerability and opposing outlooks. 

In order to feel emotionally satisfied, Moon in Aries demands massive amounts of freedom and thrill. Like a Queen fighting for her throne Aries need to win the object of their passion. They spearhead initiatives and jump at the chance to explore the unknown. These natural born leaders aren't afraid to be outspoken and use their confidence to charm the pants off of others. Like an artist using their canvas to express their art, Aries need a regular outlet to express their fiery passion otherwise they run the risk of becoming anxious, domineering, or high strung. At their peek this sign is inspiring, sincere, and bold, taking chances that gratify them! 

Ready to dive deeper into your chart? In my course Let Your Light Shine we explore more about your Moon Sign and illuminate your inner child. Combining Self-discovery, Self-Love + Astrology get ready to take an enlightened ride through the cosmos and find radical self-acceptance. You are worth it babe, shine your light! Journey begins 9.28.2020.

In your Astrology Natal Chart your Moon sign tells you a lot about your inner world. If you aren't familiar with your Moon sign you'll need to gather some information (Your birthdate, your time of birth and place of birth). I recommend using Chani Nicholas or Astro Cafe to look up your Moon sign or you can get a reading here! 

The Moon is the Yin to the Sun's blazing Yang. Mama moon is all about nurturing her cosmic babies. From the teenage angst mixtapes to the divorced woman getting back out in the dating scene pulling out her red lipstick. She oversees all of our every changing emotions and similar to the waves she rules she guides us all back home to comfort ourselves. 

Your Moon sign tells you about your inner nature and what you need. Once you are aware of this inner world and how to soothe yourself, it makes such a drastic improvement and allows you to feel more harmonized in your daily life. When you are living  in tune with your Moon sign you are actually feeling your feelings, nurturing and following your intuition. On the other hand if you are living out sync with the Moons tides or numbing your feelings you are most likely being needy, moody or even timid. 

The Moon in your chart can also reveal a lot about your roots; home life, childhood, relationship with your mother. As well as; what feeds your soul, your feelings, your unconscious, and your intuition. Once you understand your Moon sign you will form a deeper relationship with yourself. Your inner world will be illuminated by what mama moon whispers to your heart. You'll better understand what makes you feel safe, your imagination, compassions, how sensitive you are, how intuitive you are, your emotional security, memory, your protective maternal side, and domesticity. When life throws us for a loop the Moon is a reminder to go with our gut! Tune in by taking care of the most tender parts of ourselves, like a mother rocking her sweet baby. 

This week I'll be diving deeper into each Moon sign. My intention was to spark your interest in learning more about your Moon sign. When I learned I was a Gemini Moon it made so much sense and was another layer of my personality that I got to explore and discover more of. Also I'm opening up my group coaching program that blends Astrology + Self-Discovery it's all about finding your light within. If you want to explore your chart with other badass womxn get your booty in the program! Doors close September 18th, 2020.

Have you ever felt so lost you'd try anything? YOU scoured the internet for personality quizzes, read self-development books, listened to motivational podcasts and started all the healthy habits, BUT it still wasn't clicking? WHAT IS MY PURPOSE!!!!!! What AM I supposed to do with my life?

That was me, sister, I couldn't figure out my WHY or my PURPOSE for many years. I first want to tell you that you aren't lost or on the wrong path, that you are exactly where you're meant to be. The fact that you are reading this is a sign that you are in the right place! It's all apart of divine timing, and we all need to learn through are various human experiences. 

For me, a HUGE shift came once I got my hands on my full natal Astrology chart, so many things in my life started to make sense! It was like I was finally able to decode why I was the way I was. For example, I've had a million jobs; Sales Representative, Marketing Coordinator, Buyer, Office Manager, People Operations Specialist, Wedding Planner + owned my own Event Planning business. I kept thinking will I ever figure it out, will I ever find my purpose? It wasn't until I dove deep into my full Astrology chart and saw things like; I'm a Gemini moon in my 10th house of career. The moon tells you how to live out your soul purpose in your body; for me, that soul path is through my career (10th house). Geminis need to communicate, process facts and ideas. They are always researching, learning and pushing intellectual boundaries. I always thought of myself as an extrovert; hence all the people facing roles. However, when I hit a plateau in my career, I started taking random courses, diving into self-development and spirituality. I realized I'm both; I get a lot of energy by being introverted through learning and then being extroverted by communicating that information to others. My moon sign in Gemini is just one example of how my chart helped me put the pieces together. 

As I looked deeper into my chart, almost every aspect was leading me to use my knowledge, wisdom and experiences to heal and inspire others. I thought this couldn't be! But the deeper I reflected and discovered myself through my astrology chart this made perfect sense. My challenges, hurts and pains have all led me to show others how to alchemize their darkness into light (hello sun sign in Scorpio). 

My Ascendant Ruler is in Virgo in my 1st house of Self; your self-image, confidence and expression. Whatever sign you have in your 1st house is very apparent to others around you. We wear this energy on our sleeves. As a Sun Sign in Scorpio, I thought I gave off that mysterious dark vibe, but I was o so wrong. I now understand how I carry Virgo tendencies, such as being sensitive, helpful, a perfectionist, overly critical of Self and sensitive to criticism. One of my key lessons has been unconditional self-love and the importance of not taking life so seriously! It's 1000% ok to make mistakes, and no one is perfect here on earth. 

The North and South Nodes points taught me where I was on my journey and where I needed to go. I'm a South node Libra, a people pleaser and a North node Aries, a trailblazer. My crucial lesson in life is not to make decisions through the lens of what others advise me to do, or I think they desire of me. Instead, I need to be my true authentic Self; stand on my own two feet and blaze my own trail forward.  

Reading through my Astrology Natal chart helped me discover so much about myself. Especially the shadow parts that I was blinded by or even parts of myself that I have repressed. The star blueprint to my personality has guided me to my passions, purpose and why!

If YOU ARE READY to go on a self-discovery journey guided by your stars within I'd love to help guide you. I offer personalized Astrology readings which also include reflection questions, journal prompts and affirmations to help you on your self-journey. If you'd like additional support, I also offer a one-hour session with the reading. If a Self-love coach and an astrologer had a love child that would be what I offer! We will dig deep into your chart, your story and get you on your path to what you truly desire babe. You get to live the life of your dreams, and I know your astrology chart can help uncover gems and truths that you've been searching for. The truth is it's all inside you babe, you just have to go within!

Good luck on your journey, love, and don't forget to have fun along the way. Life is way to short to be taken so seriously!

Your Sun sign is pretty much your outward personality, ego, who you identify as or consciousness. Most of us only know our Sun sign, and often we look at horoscopes from this lens. BUT our charts are so much deeper than that! If you are interested in a more in-depth approach to your star blueprint, I offer Astrology Chart Readings and Coaching sessions. 

Let's start with the Sun signs to get your familiar with Astrology. 

Pisces February 19 - March 20 | The Dreamer 

When Pisces is in an enlightened time of life, you can be a spiritualist and a dreamer. On the other hand, when you aren't awake to your potential, you tend to be a martyr and an escapist. 

The journey for the 12th sign in the zodiac is to blend heaven and earth. As a Pisces, you represent the ultimate path of human awakening. It would be best if you learned to anchor yourself to earth, to get grounded, and dissolve boundaries between the material and spiritual realms. Through the realization that life is all a dream, you can bring that notion back to earth and back to being human; then you can inspire others with your embodiment of this wisdom, which is unconditional love. 

Gifts | forgiveness, spirituality, adaptability, gentleness, compassion 

Struggles | escapism, victimization, inferiority, unworthiness, self-indulgence 

Develop self-awareness, boundaries, and discipline; then you can become the world's greatest mystic - a powerful, otherworldly reminder of unconditional love and interconnection.

You think outside the box and apply your ingenuity to discovering innovative solutions to all sorts of challenges we face as a society. You're on a journey to full liberation; the key to your path is freeing yourself first, then wholeheartedly feeling into your purpose to help humankind find their way to freedom.

Capricorn, December 22 - January 19 | The Businessman 

When Capricorn is in an enlightened time of life, you can be a businessman and a dignitary. On the other hand, when you aren't awake to your potential, you tend to be a social climber and an authoritarian.

The journey of the goat is one where you need to learn to balance your tremendous ambition with your personal life so that you can wholeheartedly make contributions to both your family, friends and society.

Once you find this balance internally, whatever you are determined to accomplish will be for the greater good and be your true calling. You'll tap into your wisdom and heart, then take the necessary steps to get to your desired outcome. 

Gifts | ambition, integrity, dependability, discipline, responsibility 

Struggles | materialism, social climber, stubborn, opportunistic, control

When Sagittarius is in an enlightened time of life, you can be a philosopher and a yogi. On the other hand, when you aren't awake to your potential, you tend to be an extremist and a restless wanderer.

For this fire sign, your journey is all about turning your knowledge into wisdom. You seek adventure and exploration of unknown territories to expand your understanding as far as the horizon will reach. When you pick a topic to study, you immerse yourself in the pursuit for more knowledge. Keep an open mind while on your search for the meaning of life is key to keeping you in alignment and your path to wisdom.

Scorpio, October 23 - November 21 | The Shaman 

When Scorpio is in an enlightened time of life, you can be a shaman and an alchemist. On the other hand, when you aren't awake to your potential, you tend to be a repressor and destroyer. 

If your Sun sign falls in Scorpio you probably already know you possess extraordinary power and depth.  Your journey is to surrender control and learn to master your emotions. Transmuting your pain, anger and emotions into wisdom is your path to enlightenment. Embracing the cycles of destruction, death, and rebirth will help you teach others how to alchemize their past struggles into the light. Unafraid of intensity, you dive into the depths of hellish realms that stem from your mind. Through this own self-realization you show others a fearless path to surrender control and dive to the edge of darkness all while keeping an open heart. 

Gifts | Passion, bravery, depth, mysticism, transformation 

Struggles | Repression, explosiveness, vengefulness, obsession, possessiveness

Learn to surrender to your darkness rather than repress it. Once you plunge to your darkest depths, that's when you will open up to an equal amount of light. The world needs you to help heal and transmute with the magic of surrender!
