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. 

Leo, July 23 - August 22 | The Performer

When Leo is in an enlightened time of life, you can be a loving leader and performer. On the other hand, when you aren't awake to your potential, you tend to be a show-off and egotistical. 

Leo is ruled by the Sun itself, so you are meant to shine especially from that enormous heart of yours! You are creative, playful and love the center stage; this gives you a majestic quality about you that many admire. Your soul journey is to learn to move your gaze from your personal love to unconditional compassion and love for others. Once you learn to this, your leadership potential will soar to great heights. Learning to dance with your ego will be a big feat as you do tend to boast and take over the spotlight from time to time. Learn to love yourself without the ego and then let that love overflow to everyone around you. 

Gifts | Creativity, playfulness, humor, affection, self-expression 

Struggles | Arrogant, self-absorbed, boastful, exaggerative, codependence 

Learn to master your human emotions and show others how to do the same. It's important to protect your sensitivity, while still remaining kind and authentic.

Learn to open your heart and integrate both sides of yourself - intellect + heart! In doing this you can become an inspiring teacher, as long as you let your students come to their own conclusions rather than forcing your point of view.

Your Sun sign is your outward personality, ego, who you identify as or your 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.  


Taurus, The Sensualist | April 20 -May 20 


When Taurus is in an enlightened phase of life, you can be an artisan and sensualist. On the other hand, when you aren't on the path to your potential, you might tend to be a narcissist and materialist. 


Taurus, the second sign in the zodiac, is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty. Your mission is to develop healthy self-worth. Taurus is a slow and sensual sign who enjoys activities related to earth and the five senses. As a bull, you tend to enjoy and savour such pleasures as the feel of Egyptian cotton sheets, the flavors of a farm to table dinner, the sweet symphony from the orchestra or the smell of the saltwater when you step onto the beach. You help the people around you get grounded and be more practical. You remind us that being of our connection to the earth as well as our bodies. 


On your journey to self-worth, you will need to learn how to surrender your strong attachment to material security, wealth, and vanity. Once you evolve, you will be able to help others heal, awaken us through your powerful transformation to the embodiment of worthiness and strength. 


Your Gifts | Stillness, beauty, strong, nourishing, creative, grounded


Your Struggles | Possessive, stubborn, self-indulgent, materialistic, vanity 

Remember to release your fixation on physical appearance and materialistic items. Your real abundance comes from the generosity of your heart as you learn to accept all beings.

Don't Be Afraid To Show Off And Be Seen! 
The Leo energy is asking us to celebrate life. We all get to enjoy it. Leo's energy is generous, fun, magnanimous and even tends to fall on the spectrum of being a show off! That's ok we all need our time to shine and as we all off Leo somewhere in our chart this is being activated with the New Moon. The more we play, celebrate and appreciate our lives the more positive things we attract to our lives. Don't be shy and go for it!

Read Each One and Visualize
Take some time to read and visualize each one as having come true. Really see and feel it. The real magic is in the feeling you have when these become true. Feel it in your body!

Ever since I can remember, I have loved underdog stories. I'm always eager to learn how someone was able to take a dark situation and rise above it. How did they make their fear, doubt, shame, guilt, trauma and alchemize it into something beautiful and meaningful for their life? 


Each week I'll be inviting a new woman to speak about her spiritual journey. She'll share her magic and medicine to get over your old stories and start living a life of freedom. 


This week I'll be sharing my story which only my close friends and family know the details. 


So here we go… 


When I was in 5th or 6th grade, I had my first intervention with my alcoholic parent. My 12-year-old self had worked up enough courage to approach them and let them know that I did not think it was ok how much they were drinking. That I loved them and had so much fun with them, but when they drank they were unpredictable, angry and I wasn't happy with our current living situation. 


Next, my parent met me with tears of anger and the words "You don't know what you are talking about", "You are an ungrateful little girl", "Get back inside and mind your business." 


I was heartbroken, I didn't know what else to do so I started to form a wall around my truth and inner knowing. In my young mind, my parent was right, and I was wrong.  




If any of you have an alcoholic parent or relative, you know that being around that person is like walking on eggshells. You never know what you are going to get. 


At the time, people in my life didn't know I was living with an alcoholic parent in the home, because, at a young age, I developed what's called The Family Hero. I became a super-achiever and a people pleaser. I was a workaholic and always stayed very busy, even from a young age. I made sure I had a lot of activities so that I wouldn't be home very often. I became very good at identifying other people's needs but never understood my own. 


I used my success and achievements to find a sense of belonging. I also wanted to prove that everything was "fine" at home. But I never thoroughly enjoyed any of my achievements. I was always off to the next thing. Always in motion 


Fast forward to my first few jobs post-college I started to have visceral reactions anytime I received feedback from my Managers. Many people called me sensitive my whole life, so I just chalked it up to me being sensitive, not a parent wound that needed to heal. 


I managed to keep up the workaholic coping mechanism until I got to my first Start-Up job, I was an Office Manager and let's just say this role was the biggest f-ing trigger for all my childhood wounds. I started to have severe anxiety; I didn't really know what was causing it. After my 3rd mental break down and cry fest at work, I began to see a therapist. Something inside me said to research a therapist who specialized in adult children of alcoholics.


At my first session, I literally had never felt so seen and heard in my whole life. For once someone understood why I was the way that I was. He gave me tools and guidance to get me started. He gave me what is called the laundry list, which is basically a list of characteristics of an Adult Child of an Alcoholic and some book recommendations. I balled my eyes out as I read over the aspects. I'll go over a few examples: 


1) You became isolated and afraid of people and authority figures. For me, this really manifested in all my relationships with my bosses. I'd cry at any hint of feedback or criticism. I also really hated being told what to do.


2) You became approval seekers and lost our identity in the process. Especially in my office manager role and planning wedding, I became so wrapped up in getting the approval of the team or my brides that I literally had no boundaries; I'd be nervous to say no or speak up. I wanted everyone to like me. I was a huge pushover. 


3) You live life from the viewpoint of victims. For me this showed up in complaining a lot, thinking my situation was everyone else's fault but my own, thinking I was stuck that had to continue living this way. 


So after reading this list, I then had to go back to work. On my way back, I remember feeling like wow that was really tough and ugly, but I had released a lot of things that I'd bottled up inside. I started to think wow things can really change. 


What I didn't realize was that I wasn't yet aware of my thoughts and feelings. As an overachiever, my mind was always on doing and moving. That was my numbing mechanism, and so even while going to therapy, I wasn't slowing down enough to process.


So for the first three years of therapy, I still wasn't fully releasing my pain and trauma. Instead, I was reliving it, making a lot of the memories stronger, which was then causing my self-esteem to lower and my anxiety to rise. 


I now understand that with therapy, you should also start a mindful practice. So you can release the pain from your body. Embodiment mediations have also really helped with inner child wounds. 




One day I found myself on the couch and could not get up. I was so depressed and unsatisfied with my career. I was having a pity party, to say the least. When I saw Rachel Hollis documentary and the first exercise was to write a letter from your perseverance. Something inside me literally screamed get up and do this. So I did, and over that next year and a half, I went on a self-development and soul journey. I read and listened to everything I could get my hands on; I started meditating every day during my commute; I filled my life with a lot of positivity. Slowly over time, I began to feel better, to know myself better. 




But the real healing came during Tony Robbins Unleash the Power Within conference, as he asked a woman her story. "She said I want to be close to my parents, but there's this wall up", and Tony said something along the lines of there's no wall except for the one you created. He said "Sure your parents weren't perfect, they are human, but you have to forgive, love them and move on. You are the only one still holding onto this." That shook me to my core. All along it was me playing the victim and blaming my problems on my parents. 


I now understand that what happened to me wasn't my fault, BUT my healing is my responsibility. No one was going to save me; I had to become the hero of my own story. 


Right after Tony Robbins, I decided to love my parents unconditionally. I now understand that they did the best they could with what they had. They were also most likely reliving their own family pain & trauma cycles. Once I understood this, I knew I had to be the one to break it. I had to heal, not just for myself but for my son and my family. And my son's future family. 


The minute I made this decision to heal my whole life shifted. I now have a fantastic relationship with my parents, who have been 13 years sober, and I am so proud of them. I love the feeling of getting a second chance at having the relationship that I always wanted to have with them. They are amazing grandparents to my son Carter. 


Additionally, I started to really enjoy my 2-hour commute, which was something I complained about for a long time. Every day I became eager to meditate and do spiritual work on the ride. I'd get off BART and look around the city and smile to myself. "I'm alive, and I get a chance to do something great today, thank you God for another day". 


Shifting from my pity party mindset to a mindset of self love, compassion, forgiveness, and gratitude started to change my reality. I began to get very clear about my vision for my life. I knew I wanted to help others out of the dark and into the light. How could I help women alchemize their pain, trauma into something magical and beautiful to share with the world. I want to help you break your trauma cycle so that you don't continue the cycle of pain with your own families. 


I stopped taking on weddings as my side hustle and decided I was going to plan a spiritual retreat; I asked a few friends who are coaches if they'd like to do this with me. I also told my full-time job that I wanted to work on Diversity and Inclusion. I was feeling on fire. My energy was rising from a low vibration of anxiety and scarcity to higher vibration of gratitude and excitement. 


I love knowing that all along, I was supposed to connect the dots in my life to serve other people. Everything happens for you, to mold you and shape you for your destiny. 


Then COVID hit, in-person activities were no longer a part of our reality. My full-time job let me go as they no longer had in-person events to plan; I postponed the retreat. The way I see it is, you have two choices: be the victim or be the hero and figure it out. 


This time there was absolutely no way that I was playing the victim again. I chose to see this as happening for me. It gave me time and a safety net of severance + unemployment to truly figure out what I want to do, who do I want to become? 


The first few months of COVID I took myself on a spiritual retreat almost five days a week. I worked out, did yoga, meditated, journaled, did a lot of inner child healing + reparenting, I learned to love myself to appreciate my shadow self and embrace her. I got myself a spiritual coach who has absolutely helped upgrade me on so many levels on this journey. 


Then my best friend past away and grief hit me like a ton of bricks. This time I was able to feel my feelings not push them away or numb them. I let them come up, and I'd cry when I needed to. I started to ask for a sign from her, a sunflower. I began to see them everywhere and wake up even more to who I truly am. 


One of my last conversations with her was that she wished she could shake people and wake them up. Everyone worries about stuff that just doesn't really matter. She wanted to help others appreciate and love life to the fullest. BECAUSE that's what SHE did even on her hardest most painful days, she was grateful to have another day. I want to invite you to start thinking about how you'd live each day if you knew it were your last. STOP saying that you'll get to your dreams tomorrow, or you'll be happy when xyz happens, no sweets START being happy today, start loving your life! 


It's the only one you have and tomorrow is not guaranteed.


So, my friends, I'm choosing to share my story, not for sympathy but to show you an example that even if you think you are in a dark place right now, I promise you that you can turn it around and let light in. You can get medicine from the lesson. Once you start appreciating what you have at this moment, making positive changes, loving yourself unconditionally, forgiving yourself and others from the past and living life with a grateful heart you will become a vibrational match for ALL of your desires. 


You deserve to be happy; the world needs you to share your amazing gifts. For me, I'm more scared of not trying than trying. I don't want to be on my death bed and think what if I wouldn't have been scared to share my story and help others. So I will be charging ahead to the unknown. I know I am fully supported, loved, and I am enough. 


I'm now on a mission to help women like you find their light and power within. If that sounds like a journey, you'd like to go on, and you want some help and guidance. I'm opening up 5 - 1:1 coaching spots. You'll have a 90-minute coaching session each week for four months. We will deep dive into inner child healing, self-love, bringing balance to your life and create a roadmap to your dreams and desires. You'll also have access to me Monday through Friday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm through Group Me.


You can apply here for my coaching services. We will then hop on a call to see if we are a fit for each other. I'm available for women who say "YES I'm a 10/10, I'm ready to change my life and start stepping into possibilities." 

You are worthy to have the life of your dreams and invest in yourself babe! I haven't regretted ever investing in myself and I will continue to bet on myself every single day because I know I'm worth it.

I met Jaclyn's freshmen year of college at California State University, Chico. Funnily enough, we met in an Anthropology class titled Magic, Witchcraft and Religion. We've come full circle, and now we love to geek out over all things spiritual. I was so excited to have Jaclyn as my first guest on Rebel Soul Stories. You can tune in every Sunday at 5:00 pm PST on Instagram @therebelsoulmama all replays are under IGTV Rebel Soul Stories Series. 

This San Clemente, CA girl, is a Self Love Coach on a mission to help people love themselves unconditionally so that they can thrive in every area of life. She believes that everything flows from the extent to which we love ourselves, so when we feel safe to be who we are and when we know our intrinsic worth, our whole world starts to shift. This is the energy that calls in soulmate relationships, gives you the confidence to pursue your dreams, attracts money, and allows you to live your happiest, most fulfilled life.

I've asked Jaclyn a series of questions below. You can also check out our Instagram Live session on my Instagram @therebelsoulmama.

I started to follow the breadcrumbs of what lit my soul on fire and followed my intuition. For a long time, I was battling the idea that I had to work a typical 9-5, and I got confused by everyone else's idea of success. I ended up moving to Guatemala to remove myself from that idea and just listened to what my heart was trying to tell me instead of what society was telling me. I knew I wanted to help people, I was obsessed with personal development, and my heart was telling me that my pain and struggle with self-love would be medicine to other people and coaching checked all of those boxes for me. I also learned that pain leaves a lot of clues as to where your purpose can be found. ​

I felt very uncomfortable in my body and my life before I found purpose. I was very focused on the outside and not on who I was on the inside. I was in a constant battle with my weight; I drank a lot of alcohol to numb the fact that I was unfulfilled, I didn't feel like I had anyone in my life who truly understood who I was so I omitted pieces of my truest self. I was basically living my life for everyone else but me.

My confidence and self-love were at an all-time high. I had just finished a six-month program that taught me how to love myself and also gave me the tools to help my clients do the same. I invested in myself and my dreams by hiring a coach, and I created rituals that made me feel good about myself; I consumed all things self love, mindset, spirituality, and personal development. I said no to everything that felt out of alignment with who I wanted to become.

​I had some small moments in my life that put me on my spiritual path, but it was the moment below that really had me seeking a spiritual connection. I was feeling so shitty that I was willing to try anything that would make me feel better. I meditated every day, journaled, went to therapy every week, inner child work, listened to personal development podcasts and audiobooks, etc. It was a process of hitting rock bottom, which slowly led me to come home to myself. ​

​After I returned home from travelling the world for eight months, I jumped right back into everyday life without even thinking about it. I thought if I just found a job in the wellness space (my passion at the time), then everything in life would fall into place. I started working for a company that, on paper sounded like my dream job. I bought a car and moved into my own place all within a month of being home. I was so excited at how quickly I made it all happened, but after week 2 of my new job, I had a feeling in my gut that it wasn't right. I called my mom sobbing and told her I felt like I made the wrong decision, but I had this conditioning that told me I had to stick it out for a year. It ended up being the lowest year of my entire life. I was depressed, had regular panic attacks, and started having health issues. It was my soul trying to guide me back home to myself. Back to my true purpose. An awakening of my spirit. It led me to move to Guatemala for a year and a half to live life on my own terms and let my intuition guide the way. At the time, I looked at it as the worst year of my life, but now I see it as the most profound awakening which put me on my path. ​

Everything you want in life is on the other side of loving yourself. Once you remember your worth, the things you've been searching for will effortlessly fall into place. ​

Tune in next week for another Rebel Soul Story. Have a great week loves!

A year ago, I found myself on the couch paralyzed. I felt lost, hopeless and frustrated with where my career was heading. I had no clue what my true purpose and passion was. I had no confidence in myself or my abilities. At the time, I was commuting four hours a day to San Francisco for my full-time tech job and planning weddings as a side hustle. Every moment of my day was consumed by doing things for others whether it was for my co-workers, clients or my family.

I had stopped taking care of myself and wasn't connecting to how I felt. That day all my emotions hit me like a ton of bricks, and I found myself paralyzed on the couch. I had stopped listening to myself and completely forgotten how to connect to my inner voice and intuition. I was keeping myself so busy that I never took the time to stop and check-in with myself. I was also seeking outside validation instead of my own. 

As I laid there on my couch and searched my streaming options on the TV to numb my thoughts, I stumbled upon a  Rachel Hollis' documentary about her Rise conference. I did not want to hear a pep talk about how I needed to change my life, but something inside me pushed me to click and watch. For the first exercise, she had the crowd write a letter from their perseverance. As I mentioned, I did not want to get off the couch for any circumstance, but there I was again with an inner voice summoning me to grab a notebook and a pen. I did the exercise and wrote down all the things I've done in my life that I was proud of, all the things in my life that I thought were so hard, but I persevered. As I read this letter back to myself, tears streaming down my face, I realized how out of tune I was with myself.  I had been talking to myself so severely and stacking negative points one on top another until I believed every word I told myself. My outside life was a reflection of my inner world. I knew then and there that if I wanted my circumstances to change, I had to change my inner turmoil to inner triumph.

Little by little, I started to make small and significant changes in my life. The two changes that had the most impact on my life were: 

Journaling | I hadn't written in a journal since high school, and  I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it. This practice also forced me to slow down for a daily check-in with myself and set my intention for the day.

Meditation | Encouraged me to be aware, kind and compassionate with myself.  The practice of meditation taught me that my inner words have a crucial impact on my outer reality. 

Over time, my journaling and meditation practices have evolved. Little by little, I became more comfortable with these activities so that now they are a non-negotiable for me. I need to do them every single day to feel my best. I make sure I start my day this way so that I can set my intentions.

Today I look back at the person I was a year ago, and I'm so proud of myself for taking that first step and becoming aware of what needed to change. I'm delighted with who I am today and continue to strive to be the best version of myself day after day. I sit here finding myself unemployed in these crazy times, the old version of me would have found every negative story and stacked it one on top of another, dragging me down further. The new version of me sees this as happening FOR me not to me. This unique circumstance is forcing me to get resourceful and creative. I'm choosing to be excited by my possibilities rather than fearful of everything that can go wrong. 

If you find yourself in a similar negative self-talk pattern I encourage you to slow down, connect with yourself, be kind to yourself and little by little you will find yourself in a brand new state of mind. You will start living a life that you want, not complaining about the life that's happening to you. You are the writer, actor, director of your own life. What do you want that story to look like? For me, I want to look back and see that I overcame obstacles, fears and created the most beautiful life possible for my family and me. 

With love,

​You've saved a few bridal dresses to a Pinterest board. Your friends and family bought you a few wedding magazines which you have dogged eared pages of potential wedding day looks. Now you feel like you have a general idea of your dream dress. We can't tell you how many of our clients have said "I thought I wanted lace but when I tried on that style it wasn't me" or "I wanted a big poofy princess dress, but when I had it on in the shop I thought I wouldn't be able to sit down". Our biggest advice is to try on many different styles even if you don't think its what you want, and you might surprise yourself! We've rounded up our top 5 tips for finding the prefect wedding dress.

​The dress should be one of your first purchases when planning a wedding. We recommend starting your search 12 to 9 months before your big day. These gowns are typically custom made and made to order. Once your gown arrives, it might need alterations. Usually, you'll have two to four fittings depending on what alternations you need or want. 

​Make sure you have a budget in mind. Call around to different bridal boutiques and make sure they carry dresses in your price range. Falling in love with a $10,000 dress when your budget is $1,500 is not a good way to start your big day gown search. 

​When looking for a dress search for styles that will flatter and accentuate your best features. You should also try on different cuts to see what you are most comfortable with, and you might surprise yourself and choose something completely different than you initially thought you would. 

​Are you having a summer wedding outdoors in 80 degree heat? Then you might want a light and breathable gown with short sleeves. Having a winter wedding in Tahoe? A heavier fabric dress with sleeves might be more suitable. Weigh out your options and comfort level when choosing your dress. 

​Who do you want by your side when trying on wedding dresses? Everyone is different, some brides bring both their parents while others have their bridesmaids. The choice is 1000% yours. We do recommend bringing people who will make the experience fun, memorable and give you advice in a nice way! 

Bride to Be Couture - Carmichael, CA 
The Bridal Vault - Jamestown, CA 
Grace Loves Lace  - Los Angeles, CA 
Lovely Bride - San Francisco, CA 
Wilde Bride - San Francisco, CA  

​Remember at the end of the day picking your dress is about how YOU feel and what YOU like. You'll want to feel your best and be comfortable on your wedding day. Like Marie Kondo would say "Does this dress spark joy?" 

Let us know if you have additional tips or share your favorite bridal dress shop.

Until next time lovelies!
