*Sign up for my live group program, The True YOU by April 17th*Do you see and perceive yourself directly? Or do you see yourself through the mirror of others? Do you prioritize what is important for YOU or what is important to be a „successful, good, productive person“ in the eyes of society? Do you feel worthy because of who you are or because of what you do, accomplish and achieve?Far too often, we repress unconsciously important aspects of our identity because they are judged by society. Far too often, we abandon essential needs that we have because we are afraid to be rejected by others.In this episode we shine a light on our identity and our sense of self 🌞. We explore how our self-image and self-worth is influenced by the environment and the society we are living in and how we can see and be our true Self again.What if you are finally ready to perceive yourself directly and to see your True YOU?

Are you asking your astro-app or Chat GPT what to do 🪐? Do you believe that your human design coach, your tarot reader or your astrology chart gives you THE answer…?In this episode I, Verena, share honestly why I hardly talk about astrology anymore and I share my observation that more and more people (unconsciously) give their power away to spiritual tools and coaches. I also take a critical look at spiritual coaches and teachers who use ancient wisdom schools and divination tools like astrology, human design, the tarot, numerology or the Chinese zodiac in a rather disempowering way ✨ 🔮.In the episode, I share my personal opinion about using astrology with integrity and care and I explain why I combine astrology with somatics. 🧿 Tune in and hear about:Insecurity and the desire for safetyThe increasing importance of becoming your own authorityWhy the planets are NOT dictating your lifeHow you can use astrology in an empowering wayWhy I have distanced myself from astro-forecastingWhy no spiritual tool, coach or expert can save you from pain and challengesThis episode is for every astrology-lover who scrolls daily through the universe 💫 AND it is for spiritual rebels who feel triggered by astro updates or tarot spreads.RESSOURCES & LINKS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠this free audio⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🎧 and feel relaxed & safe in less than 3 minutes!🦋 Subscribe to my free ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Soul & Soma newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for weekly inspiration and empowerment!🔑 Join the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Soul & Soma Space membership⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for on-going guidance and connection! 💸 Use the code PODCAST50 to get 50% off your first month in the membership!*💌 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact me⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for (kind) feedback and your questions for future episodes!🌐 Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠the full show notes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to learn more!Podcast Credits 📷 Picture by Sophie Nawratil

Is the only way to return to a natural pace for our body to get sick–in the society we are living in?Join me, Verena in this solo episode asking (myself) some uncomfortable, possibly triggering, activating, and important questions… about my own experiences with chronic illness, stress, and the working conditions we are born into but never consciously agreed with.In this episode I don’t give you THE answer or a five-step-plan. I share authentically and honestly what I feel, experience, observe… in my life, with my clients, and in the world 👁️.

Let’s be honest: nothing is working any longer. There is no perfect plan and no strategy that guaranties “success” and there is no “expert” who can solve all of your problems 🙅🏼‍♀️.  Are we completely lost and should give up…? No!
