How to Become Obsessed with Yourself and Amplify Your Magnetism with Ashley B. Jones

Hollis is one of those wise women I stumbled upon while scrolling Threads, and wondered: what is she doing over there and how can I be in her world?! Between her astrological insights and her design eye (yes, she's the design wiz behind my recent social media/email design glow up), she's become one of my favorite people to think out loud with.In this episode, we use astrology as an actual roadmap to understand our inner worlds (and why it's not just some fun personality quiz). We get into: ✨ why your chart is a fingerprint but transits are what you DO with your hands✨ how to access any zodiac archetype even if you have no placements in certain houses✨ why your moon sign is the single best entry point to understanding your body, your creative cycles, and how long anything is going to take you (mind-blowing info, NGL).We also get into Hollis leaving Instagram (SO. MANY. QUESTIONS.), Uranus entering Gemini cosmic weather report, and why vibe coding feels like a very on-brand sign for this transit.Plus: secret societies, invisible communities, and why building something slowly might be the most radical thing you can do right now.

Between the rise of AI and its ability to "clone" a coach, the whiplash of being on Threads and finding out your fave coach is kinda a Mean Girl, and the fall of celebrity coaches, there seems to be a crack in the coaching space.What's ACTUALLY going on? And perhaps most importantly, what's next?I share some off-the-cuff thoughts on how I see the online coaching landscape evolving in the coming months (and years tbh!)My predictions include pivoting to totally unexpected offers, the continued surge of IRL experiences, longer programs, "underground visibility", redefining what enough is, going back to school, and how building institutions ourselves could be the key to staying power.What do you think? Slide in my DMs and let me know or tag me on socials with your thoughts, I have a feeling this is a bigger conversation to be had amongst all of us...Connect with Chelsea:🪐 Pitch Perfect Fall 2026 Waitlist☄️ SUPERNOVA waitlist: the thinking lab for the deep thinkers, world-builders, and curious visionaries who see futures that don't exist yet. 💻 Website🍿Popcorn Club: Monthly meet-up to debrief TV, movies, and the zeitgeist📜 Footnotes newsletter filled with rabbit holes💌 The Art of the Ask Podcast📱 IG: ⁠@chelseariffe⁠🧵 Threads: @chelseariffeSupport NFNTW: Your donations help cover costs of running the show; you can help fund NFTNW right HERE. If you're unable to donate financially, share it.

Someone asked me a question last summer that stopped me cold in my tracks: instead of showing how anti everything you are, what are you FOR? What world are YOU actually building?I sat with this question for three months during my sabbatical in Europe. In today's episode, I share three different arcs I'm exploring:Circular economies, capping your income and redistributing wealth, and The Art of EnoughMedia as activism: what would it look like to change the world and flood our feeds with joy, imagination and silliness?Humanity as your brandIn order to build a new world and bring people in, you have to be the first citizen of your own first.

We all have that one friend who we sprint to when we need a breakup text drafted, spruce up our vanilla cover letter, or edit a flimsy apology, because we know how much words carry weight. They're spells. Today, Lois Mac, THE word wizard who focuses on strategic communication layered with uncensored expression, comes on to help humans stop performing expression and start saying the damn thing.Lois reminds us:When you lose your words, you lose yourself. Lois built her entire identity around language, then moved to a small Costa Rican town after having her first baby, surrounded by people who spoke only Spanish, and the woman who always had the right words suddenly had none... what she couldn't have known then is that was entirely the point.The creative elephant never forgets. When you're not saying the real thing, every piece of content, every project, every newsletter becomes a hostage to it; your creativity doesn't leave, it just sits in the corner, arms crossed, waiting.Trying harder is a one-way ticket to the void. The void is a compass that shows up when you've drifted so far from yourself you're basically a human LinkedIn post, arriving not to destroy you but to say: come back to your actual voice.Write the unsendable thing. A daily writing practice that's purely for you (no feed, algorithm, or audience) is where your public voice quietly gets built.Presence beats vocabulary every time. Deep, juicy, family-level friendships are built on showing up, staying in the room after saying the wrong thing, and learning to laugh at yourself, not perfect sentence structure.This conversation is for those in the middle of identity shapeshifting, multi-lingual multi-hyphenates, who need a permission slip to say the thing you've been swallowing. She gives us a gentle but firm reminder that the most radical creative act available to you right now is NOT the next launch, the next rebrand, or the next post — it's just being the person who's already here.Connect with Lois:Writing Wildly Retreats: a full writing immersion in the Costa Rican jungle where your most important writing finally gets to breathe (enrolling for June + Sept 2026, mention how you found it in the application!)Creative Living App: the app that turns your instinct to consume into a desire to createSweet Talk: A creative business uprising disguised as 4 months of writing, copy + messaging mentorshipSubstack: The Smoking AreaInstagramConnect with Chelsea:🪐 Pitch Perfect Fall 2026 Waitlist☄️ SUPERNOVA waitlist: the thinking lab for the deep thinkers, world-builders, and curious visionaries who see futures that don't exist yet. 💻 Website🍿Popcorn Club: Monthly meet-up to debrief TV, movies, and the zeitgeist📜 Footnotes newsletter filled with rabbit holes💌 The Art of the Ask Podcast📱 IG: ⁠@chelseariffe⁠🧵 Threads: @chelseariffeSupport NFNTW: Your donations help cover costs of running the show; you can help fund NFTNW right HERE. If you're unable to donate financially, share it.
