Let's do a wellness check-in: Have you been feeling angry, full of doubt, or uber-judgemental? Brenda Rose refers to this as "spinning out."

Join us today as we discuss how you can shift the energy of any given moment to release the frustrations that are bubbling within. Remember, when we forget to pause before reacting, our emotions come out sideways, but you have the power to redirect them. Does any of this resonate with you? Then tune in today for a tune-up... because Earth School is hard without a reminder of what Other Side love is all about.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, we're revisiting an episode from 2022.  This topic still resonates with the high sensitivity and edginess we're all dealing with between the heat of the summer, travel delays, Covid on the rise, and politically charged conventions. Throw in supercharged astrological shifts, such asMars, the planet of action or war, is next to (conjunct) Uranus - the planet of sudden change, and both are working with (trining) Pluto, the planet that digs up dirt you don't want to deal...so you're going to have to deal with uncomfortable stuff. You gotta stay centered.  And one more cosmic kicker: Mercury slows down this week, putting us in its Shadow phase before it goes full-on retrograde on August 4-27. Back up your devices, avoid new electronics purchases, triple-check travel plans and contracts, and confirm appointments. Slow down your thoughts and speech to reflect, review, and renew yourself from the inside out.  Along those lines - you can enjoy this review from 2022. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lessons and messages from the Other Side often channel through unexpected sources.
