Solidarity Sister!

Send a textI have been feeling an outpouring of God's love and care for me during the midst of some serious storms over here. Today I'm reflecting on my own experiences with showing up for others, even awkwardly, and how my willingness to listen to small nudges to serve has sometimes had a major impact. Prepare for a plot twist.*************************************If you're a woman who appreciates connecting with other women in community with vulnerability and compassion, please join us in the Solidarity Sister!

Send a textThis episode was gold for me. Interviewing Naomi Fox Reina helped me to further ground myself in the idea that God created me just as I am, and that by embracing my unique gifts, that I can live a purpose-driven life. You'll love Naomi's outlook on life, as she accepts hardships as experiences to teach and refine us, pouring hope into others, regardless of where they are on their own personal journey. Naomi has been through the ringer, and come out on the other side to a beautiful, joy-filled life, and she'll inspire you with hope that you can do the same.Bonus, you'll get to hear a little bit about my own birth chart, and the big players in my sun and moon that explain so much about how I have experienced life.  Find and Connect with Naomi:illuxology.comfacebook.com/groups/illuxologyinstagram.com/illuxologyyoutube.com/@illuxologytiktok.com/@illuxologyfacebook.com/illuxologylinkedin.com/company/illuxologyAbout Naomi:Naomi Fox Reina is the first Light-Filled Astrologer + Human Design Teacher.
