This Is About Your Initiation and Rebirth
April 2026, Energy of the Month, is an initiation and rebirth! Let's explore our relationship to Aries season, the influence of Mars, and the Energetic Alchemist Oracle card - The Architect (counterpart to last month’s Breathing Goddess).
We'll also touch on how Pisces season, the energies of dissolution and release, created space for our Aries embodiment, bold authenticity, and action, while emphasizing a collective attunement to higher frequency and ongoing systemic breakdowns. This month will support realization around what’s falling away, how to assert yourself without becoming too aggressive, and reshaping an anxious relationship with time.
How You're Transitioning Into New Energy, LIVE SHOW, with Melinda
Yolanda and Melinda reunite to celebrate the equinox and discuss seasonal shifts, especially the Sun moving into Aries, and what it means for energy practitioners. They reflect on transitioning from Pisces themes of dissolution, forgiveness, purification, and compassion - moving into Aries, cardinal fire, action, audacity, and self-directed initiative, while noting the need to balance water and fire. They also mention other astrological aspects, including multiple placements that are currently in Aries (Sun, Moon, Venus, Neptune, Saturn and Chiron), linking this to re-identification, amplification of audacity, passion, taking up space, and personal agency.
As practitioners of energetic arts...

What's for You Is Amplifying in March!

Don't Stay Stuck in Forever Feelings, with Jonathan Robinson
Today we have a conversation with Jonathan Robinson, a certified hypnotherapist and instructor, as well as a Reiki practitioner. He specializes in past life regression hypnotherapy and spiritual hypnotherapy because he’s seen how powerful it is when people finally access the deeper layers of the subconscious mind.

He also shares how reading authors like Michael Newton and Dolores Cannon led him into regression work and emphasizes that clients don...

Intuitive Receptivity Through Your Sense of Touch, with Eboni Banks
We talk a lot about intuitive development, and for most of us, a step-by-step process helps to clarify and understand the ways we personally recognize and translate energy. Eboni Banks, author of, Your Intuitive Nudge: a Step-by-Step Guide to Connecting with Your Intuition, had an interesting experience of finding out that she was clairtangent. Â

Where You Are Now & Where You're Going in 2026
I want to have a conversation with you about you. There is a lot that comes up as we are ending a year, ending a cycle. And whether you are someone who likes resolutions or not, there’s an almost automatic, or collective kind of resonance with the acknowledgement that we’re in a time of transition.
There’s a lot that comes up in terms of reflection around where we are and where we're going. I’ve had several conversations about this in the last few weeks, and I’ve been very reflective about this within my own life...
