239: The Holidays Are Complicated When You’re on a Healing Journey
The holidays are complicated. And if you’re on a healing journey — if you’ve awakened, shifted, outgrown certain rooms, or lost relationships along the way — that complication goes deeper than logistics. In this episode, Danie gets real about the emotional weight this season carries: the dread, the loneliness, the grief hiding underneath the garland, and the pressure to show up at tables where you’ve never quite been allowed to be yourself.
She shares the story she’s never told on the podcast before — the moment her father disowned her over Bluetooth on a 90-minute commute home — and how...
238: Samhain: The Sacred Holiday You’ve Been Celebrating Without Knowing It
What if the most sacred holiday of the year is one you’ve already been celebrating — you just didn’t know it? In this episode, Danie takes you into the ancient world of Samhain: the Celtic holy day that falls on October 31st, marks the thinning of the veil between the living and the dead, and shows up — in one form or another — in every major spiritual tradition on Earth. From All Saints’ Day to Día de los Muertos to African ancestral practices, the thread is the same: our loved ones are not gone. And this season is the invitatio...
237: Is It Too Late to Retire on Your Own Terms? A Money Coach Answers the Question Women Are Afraid to Ask
If you’ve ever quietly wondered whether it’s too late to retire the way you actually want — this episode is for you. I sat down with Dalene Higgins, money coach and retirement strategist, who spent over 30 years in government finance before retiring early and turning her expertise into a practice that helps women and couples over 40 build retirement plans they genuinely believe in. Dalene gets real about her own journey — from the “if there’s money in the account, I can spend it” method of budgeting to getting intentional 13 years before her target date — and how she chose the exact day sh...
236: Stop Carrying Energy That Isn’t Yours: 10 Ways to Clear and Reset
We pick up energy everywhere — from the people we’re around, the spaces we’re in, and the world we’re constantly scrolling through. And most of the time, we don’t even realize we’re carrying it. In this episode, Danie brings back a fan-favorite teaching from 2020 that is just as relevant today: 10 practical ways to clear your personal energy and the energy in your space.
From burning sage and incense to crystals, cleansing sprays, breath work, and simply opening a window — these are the tools Danie actually uses to protect her peace and reset her aura. Whether...
235: October 2026 Astrology Forecast: Venus & Mercury Retrograde in Libra + Jupiter in Leo
October 2026 astrology isn't going to let you look away, my friend. With Venus retrograde and Mercury retrograde both in Libra, Pluto stationing direct, a charged Full Moon in Aries, and Jupiter entering Leo on Halloween/Samhain, this month brings things to a head before it breaks wide open.
In this sidereal astrology forecast, I walk you through every major transit, lunar cycle, and planetary shift for October 2026, so you know how to work with the energy instead of getting swept up in it. If pressure has been building, or the question of what you actually want keeps...
234: Systems That Protect Your Peace: How the Sacred CEO Leads Without Burning Out
What if the most spiritual thing you could do for yourself was create a system? In this episode, Danie breaks down why systems aren't just productivity tools — they're nervous system regulation, decision fatigue prevention, and the foundation of grounded leadership. When your life has structure, your mind has space.
Danie walks you through the actual systems she uses — from the key basket to batch cooking to calendar automations — and why every one of them exists to protect her peace, not just her schedule. If you've been running on full and wondering why you still feel behind, this episod...
233: What Regression Work Actually Is (And Why I Use It)
Forget the swinging watch and the past-life-in-ancient-Egypt imagery. Regression work is something far more specific — and far more powerful. In this episode, Danie demystifies one of the most effective tools she knows for getting to the actual root of a pattern: not the story around it, not the understanding of it, but the original moment where a decision was made in a high emotional state and never completed. She breaks down the three types she uses, current life, inner child, and ancestral/past life regression, explains what actually happens inside a session, and shares why this is the modality sh...
232: How Life Kept Calling Her Back Until She Finally Said Yes With Dawn Lawtis
Some of us find our gifts. And some of us get found by them over and over again, across decades, until we finally stop running.
Dawn Lawtis is a fourth-generation intuitive on both sides of her family line, raised in an Italian immigrant household where spiritual gifts were practiced in secret and never discussed outside the walls of home. She spent years peeking out of the spiritual closet and retreating back in through a divorce, a move to Florida, a decade in corporate, a cancer diagnosis, and the complicated grief of losing an ex-husband she never knew...
231: September 2026 Sidereal Astrology Forecast: From Leo's Fire to Virgo's Precision — What This Month Is Really About
September is a month of transition, precision, and intensity — and it does not let up.
We're moving out of Leo's bold self-expression and into Virgo season on the 17th, where the invitation shifts from shining to refining. Mercury moves through Virgo and then into Libra. Mars, now in Cancer, squares Chiron and then opposes Pluto. Venus moves into Libra and immediately faces Chiron — and Pluto. And Uranus goes retrograde on the 10th through February 2027. Oh, and the last week of September? My friend, it is a lot. I'm going to prepare you.
This is a mont...
230: Why Your Identity is Running Everything (and what to do about it!)
Your identity creates your beliefs. Your beliefs create your thoughts. Your thoughts create your feelings. Your feelings drive your actions. Your actions create your results. That cascade — running constantly, mostly without your awareness — is why you can do years of personal development work, change your habits, reframe your thinking, and still find yourself back in the same pattern. Most personal development works somewhere in the middle of that chain. This episode goes to the beginning.
In this foundational teaching, Danie breaks down what identity actually means in the context of healing — not your personality, not your values, but th...
229: After the Healing Work — What Comes Next?
You can know your attachment style, trace every pattern back to its origin, and be fully fluent in your own psychology and still have no idea where you're actually going. That is a gap nobody talks about. Healing is backward-facing by design. It helps you understand what happened, why it happened, and how it shaped who you are. What it doesn't automatically give you is direction. And direction, my friend, is a completely different skill.
In this episode, Danie names the gap between insight and self-leadership and what it actually takes to close it. She shares the...
228: The Real Reason You Keep Starting Things and Never Finishing Them
You know the day. Busy from morning to night, moving between things, starting things, responding to things — energy high, motion constant. And then you sit down and ask yourself what you actually got done. Nothing that moved the needle. Nothing that felt complete. Most people call this a focus problem and go buy a new planner. But the scatteredness isn't a productivity issue. It's a protection strategy. As long as you're moving between seventeen things without fully landing on any of them, you're protected from the one thing that actually scares you — fully committing to something that matters, and havi...
227: Why You Can't Stop The Emotional Spiral (And How To Fix It)
Have you ever been in the middle of a big emotional experience — frustration, anxiety, grief, overwhelm — and noticed a part of you watching it happen? Not analyzing it. Not trying to fix it. Just... present with it?
If you have, even briefly, you've touched the observer position.
And if you haven't — or if you've found it and lost it — this episode is your map for getting there.
In this solo teaching, Danie introduces one of the most underutilized capacities in emotional healing: the ability to feel something fully and completely without being taken over by...
226: August 2026 Sidereal Astrology Forecast
The Month That Asks You to Stop Dimming Your Light
Cancer season ends. Leo begins on the 17th. Mars moves into Gemini. Mercury moves through Cancer and into Leo. Venus lands in Virgo. Chiron goes retrograde on the 4th. A New Moon in Cancer on the 12th and a Full Moon in Aquarius on the 27th. August is full — and it's all pointing to one invitation: stop playing small and start leading from a whole, unguarded heart.
In this episode, Danie C. Muniz breaks down every major transit of August 2026 and what it means for yo...
225: The Part of You That Survives Every Loss With Kym Coco
What survives a loss that profound? What stays intact when the person you built a life with — your husband, your business partner, your creative collaborator of 13 years — is gone?
For Kym Coco, the answer wasn't a coping mechanism or a spiritual bypass. It was something she had been building long before Steve got sick. A relationship with the part of herself that exists beyond any role, any relationship, any chapter of life.
In this conversation, Kym and Danie explore grief not as the end of something, but as a passage into a next iteration — one that r...
224: Why Manifestation Isn't Working — And What the Law of Pure Potential Says Instead
You've done the visualizations. You've written the affirmations. You've said yes to the abundance mindset content. And something is still not moving the way you know it should.
This episode is the missing piece.
In this solo teaching, Danie goes deep into one of her favorite universal laws — the Law of Pure Potential — and breaks down why most manifestation practice stays on the surface while the real work lives somewhere entirely different. Step into the understanding what's actually limiting the flow — and it has nothing to do with your strategy, your vision board, or how hard y...
223: We Never Talked About My Business — And Yet Everything Changed
A client sat across from Danie at the end of a session and said something that stopped her in her tracks.
We never talk about my business — and yet I am doing more in my business than I ever have.
Danie has heard some version of that sentence more times than she can count. And every single time, there's the same quality of surprise. Like the person is reporting on something that shouldn't be possible.
In this episode, she explains exactly why it is.
The problem you named isn't where the pr...
222: Two Retrogrades, One Question: What Have You Been Avoiding? | July Sidereal Astrology Forecast
July 2026 Sidereal Astrology Forecast: Two Retrogrades, Cancer Season & Why This Month Asks You to Go Within
Mercury is retrograde. Saturn goes retrograde on the 27th. The Sun moves into Cancer on the 17th. Venus moves into Leo on the 4th. Jupiter and the Sun conjunct in Cancer. A New Moon in Gemini and a Full Moon in Capricorn bookend the month. July is full — and all of it is asking the same thing: stop expanding, start reviewing. Stop managing, start feeling.
In this episode, Danie C. Muniz breaks down every major transit of July 2026 and wh...
221: Saying the Thing Out Loud — And What It Cost Me When I Did
There's a specific moment Danie believes might be one of the most revealing in the entire healing process — the second right after you've come to know something true about yourself, and right before you have to say it out loud.
The clarity is solid. It feels good. And then the moment arrives to actually speak it — and suddenly your whole body has an opinion about whether that's safe.
In this deeply personal episode, Danie shares a story she's never told in full on the podcast — the moment, roughly twelve years ago, when she had to tell h...
220: You Know Your Patterns. So Why Are They Still Running You?
In one of the most important distinctions Danie has brought to the podcast, she breaks down the gap between self-awareness and healing — why having one doesn't automatically give you the other, and why understanding your patterns completely can actually become its own sophisticated way of staying exactly where you are.
This is an honest look at why the work might not be going deep enough — and what's available on the other side when it does.
Self-awareness is level one — and it's extraordinary
Most people never develop the capacity to witness their own behavior with c...
219: Why You Pull Back Right Before You Get What You Want
You've been here before. Everything is ready. The offer is built. The message is written. Maybe you've even practiced what you're going to say. And then — something happens. You don't send it. You don't make the call. You lower the price before anyone even pushes back. You find the reasons it won't work, and you pull back.
This is the episode that names what's actually happening in that moment.
In this deeply personal solo episode, Danie breaks down why pulling back right before the breakthrough isn't a discipline problem, a strategy problem, or a sign yo...
218: June 2026 Sidereal Astrology Forecast: The Month Your Inner World Becomes the Priority
Jupiter moves into Cancer for the first time in 12 years. Mars shifts into Taurus. Venus moves into Cancer. We have a New Moon in Taurus sextile Chiron and a Full Moon in Sagittarius square Saturn and Neptune. Gemini season begins. And Chiron weaves through almost the entire month.
June is not asking you to slow down for slowing down's sake. It is asking you to go inward — because your inner world is the foundation for everything you are building in the outer. In this month's Sidereal Astrology Forecast, Danie C. Muniz breaks down every major transit and wh...
217: What Your Body Knows That Your Mind Is Trying to Avoid
This one starts with a breath. Three of them, actually. Because what Danie is about to say requires you to slow down enough to actually receive it.
Last weekend, Danie's body broke down. No fever, no throwing up, nothing the mind could point to as a real reason to stop. Just a quiet, persistent signal that something needed attention. And her mind, brilliant and persuasive as ever, had a very long list of reasons to keep going.
What she discovered underneath the physical symptoms wasn't just a virus. It was weeks of accumulated stress she...
216: Your Hormones Aren't the Problem. Here's What Actually Is.
What if everything you've been told about your hormones, your cycle, and your body has been missing the point?
In this episode, Danie sits down with Gigi Hunt — registered nurse, cyclical living educator, and creator of the Bloom Method — for an honest, empowering conversation about what's really driving hormonal chaos in women's bodies. Spoiler: it's not your hormones.
After years of postpartum depletion, significant weight gain, and a deep disconnection from herself, Gigi went on a journey that took her from a drawer full of pharmaceuticals to a fully embodied, cyclical approach to life and heal...
215: New Moon in Taurus May 2026 | 4 Planets Conjunct
New Moon in Taurus May 2026: What 4 Planets Conjunct Means for Your Life Right Now
The New Moon in Taurus lands on May 16th at 2:59 PM Central — and with the Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Uranus all conjunct in Taurus, plus Jupiter calling in from Gemini, this isn't a subtle lunation. It's a foundation-level shift. Your worth, your money, your relationships, your purpose — this new moon is asking you to stop getting by and step into your full value.
In this episode, Danie C. Muniz breaks down what the 4-planet conjunction means, where Jupiter is ampl...
214: Something Feels Off? How to Make Aligned Decisions Without Panic or Self-Doubt
Something Feels Off? How to Make Aligned Decisions Without Panic or Self-Doubt
You know something needs to change. You just don't know what. And that feeling — that restlessness, that low-grade sense that something's off — is not confusion. It's clarity trying to come through.
In this episode, Danie C. Muniz walks you through the exact 3-part framework she uses with clients and in her own life to decode that feeling, stop spinning, and get crystal clear on what actually needs to shift.

213: The 4 Gaps That Are Quietly Costing You Everything
You're not falling apart. But something is surfacing — and it's asking you to stop managing and start moving.
In this episode, Danie opens with a principle she comes back to again and again: you are always in the right place at the right time. Even now. Especially now.
From there, she unpacks the Universal Law of Rhythm — the idea that everything in the universe moves in cycles. Highs and lows. Seasons and shifts. And why the hard part of the cycle isn't a sign you're doing life wrong. It's a sign something is being built.

May 2026 Sidereal Forecast: Your Worth, Your Values, and the Breakthroughs You've Been Avoiding
Four planets change signs this month. The Sun moves from Aries into Taurus. Mercury passes through three signs in a single month. Mars finally pulls out of Pisces and into Aries. Venus moves from Taurus into Gemini. And we have both a New Moon in Taurus and a Full Moon in Scorpio bookending the month.
This is one of the most movement-heavy months of the year — and all of it is pointing to the same question: do your daily rhythms, your relationships, yo...
211: Why You’re Still Stuck (Even If You’ve Done the Inner Work)
If you have been doing the work — the healing, the journaling, the therapy, the human design deep dives — and you are still circling the same patterns, still feeling stuck, still not quite getting there… this episode is for you.
Danie breaks down the difference between being self-aware and being self-led — and why that gap is where so many conscious women are living right now. She walks through what is actually blocking you from knowing what you want, how the nervous system keeps you playing small, and what it looks like to close that gap across all four...
210: Somatic Healing, Self-Trust & Conscious Relationships: A Conversation on the Feeling & Healing Podcast
In this special episode, I’m stepping into the guest seat on the Feeling & Healing Podcast with host Danielle Z. — a mental health advocate, motivator, and powerful voice in emotional healing and self-awareness.
Together, we explore the deeper layers of somatic healing, nervous system regulation, and conscious relationships — and what it truly means to reconnect with your body, your voice, and your inner authority.
This conversation moves beyond mindset work and into the body — where real, lasting transformation happens.
We talk about how emotions are meant to be felt (not suppressed), how perfectionism and peop...
209: Sidereal Astrology Forecast April 2026: Pisces Endings & Aries Activation
April 2026 Astrology Forecast: Pisces Endings, Aries Beginnings & Chiron Healing
April 2026 is not just another month — it is a transition point between endings and beginnings, between reflection and action, between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming.
In this episode of The Cosmic Mystic Podcast, we explore the energetic shift from Pisces into Aries through the lens of sidereal astrology — and what this means for your identity, leadership, and personal evolution.
Pisces represents completion, release, and spiritual integration.
Aries represents initiation, courage, and taking action.
And right now, we are s...
208: Finding Your Voice & Trusting Your Path with Silver Luna
In this episode of The Cosmic Mystic Podcast, I sit down with multimedia artist, podcast host, and creator Silver Luna for a conversation that is equal parts activating, honest, and deeply human.
Silver shares her journey from living disconnected from her voice and identity… to stepping into self-expression, intuition, and conscious creation. What began as an experience at Burning Man turned into a profound awakening — one that challenged her to look at herself honestly, speak up for what she wants, and trust her inner guidance.
We talk about what it really means to find your voic...
207: You've Changed—Now What? Navigating Life After Awakening
When You’ve Outgrown Your Life: How to Navigate Identity Shifts & Conscious Evolution
There’s a moment on the growth journey that no one really prepares you for. A clear quiet“breaking point.”
It’s the moment you realize that something that once felt aligned…no longer fits.
In this episode of The Cosmic Mystic Podcast, Danie shares what it means to outgrow your life — whether that shows up in friendships, communities, work, or the way you’ve been living.
This is is when something within you shifted. And when your inner world evol...

New Moon in Pisces: Intuition, Structure & Conscious Leadership
This New Moon in Pisces marks the final New Moon of winter — the in-between of endings and beginnings.
As we approach the astrological new year, this lunar event invites us into a space of reflection, intuition, and intentional creation. Pisces, as the last sign of the zodiac, holds the wisdom of completion while also opening the door to new beginnings.
In this episode of The Cosmic Mystic Podcast, Danie guides you through the energy of this New Moon and how to work with it consciously — not...
205: Why You're Feeling Pulled Inward (And What It Means)
Pisces season marks the final chapter of the zodiac cycle — the moment between winter and spring where endings and beginnings meet.
In this episode of The Cosmic Mystic Podcast, Danie explores the deeper leadership invitation of Pisces season. Rather than focusing only on astrology, this conversation looks at how this seasonal shift impacts the way we lead ourselves in our health, relationships, business, and purpose.
Pisces energy invites us to slow down, reflect, and complete what is complete before stepping into a new cycle. It asks leaders to release emotional patterns, reconnect with intuition, and cl...

Chiron in Aries: Healing the Wound of Existence & Reclaiming Your Power

202: The Leadership Pattern Mercury Retrograde Exposes | Sacred CEO Sessions
Welcome! I'm here to share a bold and fresh perspective on something that's about to stir in the collective. Many commonly discuss the "planets moving backwards," but I'm offering a different take on Mercury retrograde. This discussion aims to provide clarity on the astrological influences, especially concerning zodiac signs, from an astrologer and conscious leader point of view.
Mercury retrograde isn't here to ruin your life. It reveals how you lead. If you’ve been:
– replaying conversations
– second guessing decisions
– rushing to fix things
– over-explaining to be understood
– bracin...
201: Scattered During Mercury Retrograde? Here's What To Do
