  • 89 – Lunar Solar Eclipse September October 2024

    In this episode, Phi explores the powerful astrological energy surrounding the lunar and solar eclipses of September and October 2024. These energetic events bring profound opportunities for release, transformation, and new beginnings. 

    The lunar eclipse encourages us to reflect on what is no longer serving us, offering a potent time for letting go of emotional baggage, outdated beliefs, and patterns.

    Meanwhile, the solar eclipse signals fresh possibilities, inviting us to set new intentions and embrace the unknown with courage. Tune in as Phi breaks down how these eclipses influence both the collective and personal level, and how you can harness this energy to realign with your purpose and create space for growth.

    Hello my loves,

    Since I was last on here I ran my first retreat Recharge and Renew in Bali and oh my gosh it really was one of the best weeks of my life. I can’t wait to do it again next year there are already 3 confirmed retreats that haven’t officially been launched yet but I hoping it will next month in October my birthday month woohoo.

    I felt really called to speak to you today about the energies at present collectively cause boy it’s a lot and if you’re not feeling it, I am genuinely so happy for you, if you’re like me and many clients and people I’ve spoken to online on Instagram huge rapid changes are on the horizon.

    We are in a gateway, a bridge, an eclipse sandwich in between two eclipses. What’s really interesting about this current one is from the lunar eclipse in pisces, the next is a solar eclipse coincides with a new moon on the 2nd of October in Libra.

    What do the eclipses mean?

    Eclipses are not just astronomical events; they’re cosmic catalysts that can shift our lives significantly. Each eclipse occurs in pairs. The one that recently happened in September, a lunar eclipse illuminated our inner worlds, revealing what needs to be let go of, while the upcoming October solar eclipse represents new beginnings and fresh starts. Together, they form a dynamic interplay that encourages us to embrace transformation and change.

    September 2024 Lunar Eclipse

    The recent lunar eclipse in September invited us to look inward. What fears or limiting beliefs have been holding us back? What relationships no longer serve us? This eclipse shines a light on the shadows, urging us to acknowledge and release what we’ve outgrown. It’s a moment to honor our past experiences, but also to recognise the need for change.

    Eclipses and Destiny

    Now with all of this said , it’s important to also take note of the background to all of this. The shift in destiny nodes too energetically. Currently, the focus has shifted from the Aries/Libra chapter for the last year and half to now starting to introduce Pisces and Virgo energy inviting us to explore new themes in our lives.

    Essentially the recent lunar eclipse was a peak of a new chapter coming in over 2025 – 2027 in the energies of Pisces and Virgo so we’re not quite there yet given Aries and Libra with the upcoming solar eclipse in Libra.

    Pisces Eclipse Energy 2024

    Pisces emphasises spirituality, feeling, compassion, and creativity, encouraging us to embrace vulnerability and connect with a higher purpose. In contrast, Virgo is about practicality, letting go of over-analysis, and perfectionism.

    Libra Eclipse Energy 2024

    Libra’s large influence continues still particularly in regards to our relationships. Libra encouraging us to evaluate existing partnerships and focus on balance and harmony where possible and healthy. This influence complements Pisces by highlighting the importance of empathy and emotional intelligence in our connections with others.

    Aries Libra Eclipse Series 2023, 2024 and 2025

    All in all what I am trying to say is this is part of the whole chapter series of Aries Libra energy 5 of 6 which which are complete, so have a listen to these dates to reflect upon what is going on in your life, particularly patterns and themes repeating themselves keeping in mind lunar is endings and solar is beginnings. Furthermore if you know more about your astrology you may want to see where you have placements in Aries or Libra, even if you don’t collectively we are all impacted by this energy.

    You may want to pause the episode to allow yourself to do so and I’ll also be finishing this episode with journal prompts. 

    Aries Libra Eclipse Dates 2023, 2024 and 2025

    Solar Eclipse in Aries – April 2023

    Solar Eclipse in Libra – October 2023

    The last time we had this flavour of energy was between 2013 and 2016. There may even be full circle moments or connections from back then to now too.  

    Aries Libra Eclipse Karma Information

    It goes without saying there’s a karmic undertone to eclipse series. I had an episode back in March alluding to this so to recap and bring back to the forefront with the Aries Libra eclipse series; as it highlights themes of independence (Aries) and relationships (Libra). During this time, karmic patterns related to self versus others, autonomy, and partnership come to the forefront. Here’s how karma may play a role in this dynamic in your life:

    Balancing Self and Relationships

     Aries represents the self—individual desires, ambitions, and assertiveness. Libra, on the other hand, symbolises relationships, harmony, and cooperation. The eclipses in this series often bring karmic lessons where individuals are asked to strike a balance between personal independence and the needs of others. This can manifest as karmic situations where past imbalances in relationships, power dynamics, or self-sacrifice are brought up for resolution.

    Revisiting Old Patterns

     Eclipses have a way of revealing unresolved karma, often by bringing up people or situations from the past that trigger similar themes of individuality versus compromise. For example, if someone has been overly independent or neglectful of their relationships, this eclipse series may force them to address the consequences of that imbalance. Conversely, those who have struggled with setting boundaries or asserting their needs in partnerships might find themselves pushed to step into their personal power. Often people from the past can resurface, it’s important to tune in have they truly changed? Their actions? Their intentions so of course… 

    Karmic Relationships

     This eclipse series may highlight karmic relationships—those connections where lessons are learned and patterns from past lives or earlier in this life are revisited. These relationships may surface during the eclipses, offering an opportunity to resolve old debts or heal wounds that have carried through cycles of reincarnation or life experiences.

    Action vs. Peace, Force vs. Surender

    Aries is a sign of bold action, while Libra seeks peace and balance. The karmic lesson here often revolves around knowing when to act and when to surrender. Those who have karmic imbalances in this area may find the eclipse series pushing them toward situations that force them to confront these dynamics, teaching them the importance of timing and intention in their actions and relationships.

    Why am I emotional during eclipses?

    Given all this, it’s common to  experience emotional waves—intense feelings may surface as old wounds are reopened, new ones that arise. This can be uncomfortable but is also a vital part of the healing process. Allow yourself to feel these emotions without judgment. It’s the perfect time to reflect in however you choose to do that such as journaling or meditating. 

    Even look at what is going on globally collectively, we are in very much a dense upheaval phase, if you’re listening to this you’re likely an empath so very much feeling it too. Think about the nature of eclipses. An eclipse occurs when one celestial body moves into the shadow of another. In a lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks the sun’s light from reaching the moon, while in a solar eclipse, the moon obscures the sun’s light. Things are being illuminated on a global scale for example think about celebrities and what is coming to light or trying to be buried and hidden.

    This dance of light and shadow symbolises the cycles of illumination and darkness we experience within ourselves. Just as eclipses bring temporary obscuration, we often face periods in our lives where clarity feels out of reach, and our path seems shrouded in shadow.

    Letting go during eclipses

    One of the most significant themes associated with eclipses is the process of letting go. Things, people, opportunities whatever out of alignment will get ‘eclipsed.’ Eclipses prompt us to release what no longer serves us—whether that’s limiting beliefs, stagnant relationships, or outdated patterns. This release can feel heavy and dense, like a weight we’ve carried for too long. However, just as the moon eventually reveals its light after an eclipse, we too can emerge lighter and more liberated on the other side of our letting go.

    Upheaval and the unexpected durign eclipses

    During this time in between eclipses, it’s common to experience a sense of upheaval or disruption. Unexpected events may surface, forcing us to confront what we’ve been avoiding or perhaps has been hidden in the shadows. While this can feel uncomfortable, it is also an opportunity for profound growth and transformation. The heaviness we feel often indicates that we’re shedding layers of old energy, clearing the way for new possibilities. 

    What I’ve really noticed amplified particularly in this season is the unexpected which you would see in my Instagram posts of late. When we encounter surprises during an eclipse, it’s essential to lean into the uncertainty rather than resist it. The universe is presenting us with an opportunity to align more closely with our true and highest selves. Embracing the unexpected allows us to adapt and grow in ways we might not have anticipated, leading to new paths and insights.

    Coming back to yourself and truth

    On a final note intuitively what I feel the flavour right now is a sense of things happening or coming to an end that you essentially knew already was coming. Coming back to your true self and what you truly want. Perhaps its a truth you’ve perhaps been avoiding or not fully acknowledging. 

    Life often has a way of circling us back to things we’ve always known deep down. We get caught in distractions, in the stories and expectations placed upon us, but there’s always a quiet inner voice—one that whispers the truths we don’t want to face. When you reach that point where things are coming to an end, it’s not a surprise, because somewhere within, you already knew this was inevitable. It’s that sense of déjà vu, that realisation that what is unfolding was always written into the path, waiting for you to see it clearly.

    As things shift and close, there’s also a homecoming—coming back to your true self, the part of you that knew what you truly desired all along. It’s a time of unlearning and stripping away what no longer serves you, so you can stand in your authenticity once more. This space, the void   invites you to reflect on what you truly want, beyond the noise, beyond the expectations. It’s the raw truth that was always there, waiting for you to claim it.

    October solar eclipse 2024 energy

    This process is both a release and a renewal—a shedding of layers and a return to the core of who you are, the dreams you hold, and the life you’ve always known was yours to live.

    Thus kicks off the October new moon solar eclipse on the 2nd presents an opportunity for new beginnings and manifesting. In this phase, take time to set clear intentions for what you want to manifest in your life. What new projects, relationships, or experiences do you wish to invite in? 

    Practical tips eclipse season

    What can really help during the in between is tapping into your intuition. The energy of the lunar eclipse has likely heightened your awareness, making it easier to connect with your inner wisdom. Spend quiet moments in reflection or meditation, asking yourself questions like, “What does my heart truly desire?” and “What steps can I take to align with my authentic self?” Trust the insights that come to you during this time. I’ve found revisiting your human design to be super helpful for many clients I am working with too.

    As we navigate this transformative energy, it is so important to ground ourselves in nature whether its a beachside walk or sitting in your garden or the park, nature helps us connect with the Earth’s rhythms. It reminds us that just as the seasons change, so too can we embrace our personal transformations with grace and resilience.

    Lunar Solar Eclipse journaling prompts

    Here are some journaling prompts to help you gain further insight into what’s going on for you personally during this time;

    What is life asking you to release right now? Reflect on any feelings or situations that surface. Are there recurring patterns or attachments that no longer align with your higher self? Think about how letting go could open space for new possibilities and personal growth.

    Which areas of your life feel imbalanced? Take a moment to evaluate aspects like work, relationships, or self-care. What emotions arise when you focus on these areas? Consider how restoring balance could improve your overall well-being and happiness.

    Have you experienced anything unexpected recently? Reflect on your feelings around these events. Often, surprises offer valuable lessons. How might these experiences be guiding your personal growth or encouraging you to embrace transformation?

    Eclipse relationship love dating journaling prompts

    What beliefs or habits related to love and relationships should you let go of? Identify limiting beliefs that may be holding you back from deeper connections. How have these shaped your past, and what might change if you released them? Imagine the kind of love and relationships you want to invite into your life and how releasing these patterns could support that.

    Are there relationships in my life that feel ‘karmic’—where lessons seem to repeat or feel heavy? How can you approach these relationships with more awareness and compassion?

    What are the recurring challenges or conflicts you experience in connections and partnerships? How could they be tied to past actions or decisions?

    Are there past relationships or experiences where you feel unfinished business? What might you need to release, forgive, or understand to move forward?

    How do any fears of being alone or overly dependent affect your decisions in this Aries and Libra eclipse series?

    Where do you need to set or strengthen boundaries? Reflect on any relationships or situations that leave you feeling depleted or overwhelmed. What boundaries could help protect your energy and support your well-being?

    Manifestation new moon solar eclipse journal prompts

    What qualities do you want to embody as you step into this next chapter? Think about the traits or characteristics you’d like to cultivate in yourself. Are there role models or inspirations that reflect these qualities? How can you learn from their example as you move forward?

    How can you invite more joy and fulfillment into your life during this eclipse? Explore activities and that relationships that bring you happiness. What small steps can you take to introduce more joy into your daily routine?

  • 86: Lion’s Gate August 2024

    Take a journey through the mystical Lions Gate Portal, a time of heightened spiritual energy and cosmic alignment. Phi talks about how this celestial event can amplify your personal growth and manifestation abilities. Discover transformative journaling prompts and empowering affirmations designed to help you harness the portal’s energy, clear blockages, and open yourself to new possibilities. Tune in to learn how to make the most of this auspicious period and align with your higher purpose.

    Beautiful Soul, as this episode is released I am currently running a retreat in Bali which centres all around the Lion’s Gate episode and so I wanted to share some of the magic with you in an episode about the Lion’s Gate which is 8/8.

    In the ancient tapestry of human history, the stars have always guided us, providing insights in to the secrets of the universe and providing light on our paths. The Sirius star system holds a place of profound significance, particularly in the context of the Lion’s Gate Portal.

    For the ancient Egyptians, Sirius was not merely a distant star but a cosmic beacon of rebirth and transformation. Known as “Sopdet” in their language, Sirius heralded the start of the annual flooding of the Nile, a life-giving event that transformed the arid land into a fertile oasis. This celestial event was more than an astronomical occurrence; it was a sacred promise of renewal and abundance, deeply intertwined with the cycles of life and the spiritual rhythms of the cosmos.

    As the Lion’s Gate Portal opens, it does so with the energy of Sirius at its core. This cosmic gateway, which peaks every year around August 8th, is a powerful alignment of our Sun with Sirius and the Earth’s position in the sky. It symbolises a period of extraordinary potential, a time when the energies of Sirius blend with the dynamic force of the Leo constellation, creating a potent moment for manifestation and transformation.

    Sirius, the brightest star in our night sky, has long been associated with the divine, the mysterious, and the transformative. Its light, arriving from over 8 light-years away, illuminates not just our physical world but also our inner landscapes, offering a glimpse into the deeper realms of our consciousness. When aligned with the Lion’s Gate, this star amplifies the energies of courage, creativity, and leadership, urging us to embrace our highest potential.

    The numerology of the date 8/8 also plays a role in the abundance and prosperous energy that comes with the Lion’s Gate. The number 8 symbolises infinity, balance, and material success, reinforcing themes of wealth and achievement. Many believe that the Lion’s Gate acts as a cosmic portal, elevating our vibrational frequency and making it easier to attract and receive abundance.

    Let this be a time to reconnect with the ancient wisdom of the stars, to honor the cosmic cycles that guide us, and to embrace the radiant energy that flows through the Lion’s Gate. As you stand before this energetic gateway, know that the universe is aligning in your favour and the time has come to step boldly into the fullness of your potential.

    How to tap into Lion's Gate August 2024

    Imagine a celestial gateway opening wide, its frame adorned with the shimmering light of a thousand stars. This is the Lion’s Gate Portal, where the universe aligns in a cosmic symphony to amplify your dreams and desires.

    As the sun’s golden rays meld with the radiant energy of Sirius, the Lion’s Gate ushers in a wave of potent, transformative power. It’s a time when the fierce, regal energy of the lion merges with the vast expansiveness of the cosmos, creating a celestial dance that invites you to step into your most authentic self.

    Feel the heartbeat of the lion’s courage pulsing through you—a rhythm that urges you to rise, to claim your space, and to boldly stride towards your deepest aspirations. This is no ordinary moment; it’s a call to awaken the fierce lioness within, to harness her strength and her unyielding spirit to manifest your dreams.

    Envision yourself standing before this majestic portal, the shimmering light wrapping around you like a warm embrace. The Lion’s Gate invites you to shed old fears, to release what no longer serves you, and to step boldly into the limitless potential that lies ahead. It’s a time for profound transformation, where you can align your intentions with the vibrant energy of the cosmos and let your heart’s true desires take flight.

    Let the lion’s roar echo through your being, filling you with the confidence to pursue your passions and dreams with unwavering determination. This is a moment to embrace your inner power, to lead with grace and authenticity, and to manifest the life you’ve always envisioned.

    As you walk through this cosmic gateway, carry with you the wisdom of the lion: the courage to face challenges, the strength to overcome obstacles, and the heart to follow your dreams with fierce, unrelenting passion. The universe is aligning in your favour, opening doors you never knew existed, and illuminating the path to your highest potential.

    Embrace the Lion’s Gate Portal as your invitation to shine, to dream boldly, and to manifest the life you’ve always desired. Step into this radiant energy with confidence, knowing that the cosmos is conspiring in your favor, and let your dreams roar into reality.

The background to all this as we have been witnessing collectively is funky, big mysterious changes are ahead for all but we can’t say for sure what look at what’s unfolding in the US elections and the perception of the Paris Olympic Games Opening Ceremony. 

    I’m being told to focus on the inner light and not being drawn to the funk that is there. To channel big LEO energy.

    Leo New Moon Energy and Vibe August 2024

    Imagine a stage bathed in golden light, where the spotlight finds its true home on a single, radiant figure. The main character. This is the essence of Leo—You are both the star and the stage, your heart the music.

    Leo is the heroine of her own grand narrative, embodying a fierce bravery that defies the ordinary. She strides onto the scene with a boldness that electrifies the air, her every movement a testament to the courage it takes to follow one’s heart. Her path is illuminated by an inner light that refuses to be dimmed, a beacon guiding her through shadows and challenges alike.

    In the grand theatre of life, Leo doesn’t just seek the spotlight—she commands it. She leads with a charisma that captivates and inspires, drawing others to her side with the magnetic pull of her authentic self. Her leadership isn’t about dominance, but about setting the stage for others to discover their own brilliance, too.

    Leo’s energy is a celebration of self-expression in its purest form. Imagine a canvas where every stroke is a vivid declaration of who you are, a palette bursting with colors that have been waiting for this moment to be expressed. In the Leo light, there is no room for self-doubt; only the exuberant joy of being unapologetically you. It’s an invitation to sing your own song, dance your own dance, and paint your own masterpiece.

    At the heart of Leo’s essence lies a deep connection to the inner child—the part of you that dreams without limits and loves without fear. Leo beckons you to reconnect with that pure, playful spirit, to embrace the wonder and curiosity that once defined your world. It’s about rediscovering the magic that lives in the simplest moments and allowing it to fuel your creative endeavours and personal growth.

    To be touched by Leo’s energy is to feel the pulse of possibility, the call to rise above mediocrity and embrace the fullness of one’s own potential. It’s a call to harness the raw, untamed power of the heart and channel it into dreams, passions, and aspirations.

    Leo calls us to embrace your inner spotlight, take bold steps towards your dreams, and lead with the fearless love that only you can give. The world awaits the story only you can tell, so shine brightly and let your light blaze a path for others to follow.

  • 84: Capricorn Full Moon

    Insight into the energy and vibe of the Capricorn Full Moon taking place July 21st 2024. This episode also provides journaling prompts and questions for the Capricorn Full Moon with the themes being that of family, career, letting go, endings and beginnings as well as balance. 

    This full moon is the second in that of Capricorn with the first one taking place 4 weeks prior on the 21st of June. Think of the previous full moon laying down foundational pieces of insights and information with this full moon to conclude it. You might find you’re having a do over, second review, a second chance as to whatever was taking place around the 21st of June. Was there something weighing you down? Something that didn’t fully finish? Something you needed to take responsibility for? A boundary to put in place? 

    Cancer and Leo Cusp = Family

    It’s on the cusp of Cancer transitioning into Leo season. When these two come together it’s the thematic energy of family. Cancer is the mother of all the signs ruled by the moon, the feminine. The opposing partner sign of Cancer is Capricorn seen as the father of all signs, ruled by Saturn, which we know is all about structure, discipline and hard work. 

    Saturn Retrograde Capricorn Full Moon

    Saturn is of course retrograde right now and has been since the end of June and will be until mid November this year. Paired with the full moon it’s a beautiful time to revisit, review and reassess any areas where Saturn is within your astrology and human design chart as well as general Saturninan themes such as discipline, structure, boundaries, personal responsibility and long term goals. The goal of Saturn is to establish strong foundations so keep that in mind too.

    Degree of Fate endings karma

    To also note energetically the degree in which the full moon in Capricorn is taking place is in the 29th which is the last degree of any sign known as the “degree of fate” so it marks a time where what has been brought up often signifies an ending, a breaking point, a breakthrough. The full moon in Capricorn has reached her peak, full self. It’s that moment after running a tiring marathon that it’s been a journey but at last here it is in sight the end: you can almost taste it and touch it. In fact this particular full moon in Capricorn has the nickname of the “buck moon” as during this time of the year because buck, deers, have fully developed their antlers, and it is time to shed them to start again and grow new ones.

    Again given Saturn Retrograde it may be the time for unfinished business or karma to resolve itself for you to address, grow and evolve. 

    New beginnings Capricorn Full Moon 2024

    This leads to well 0 degrees which is the starting point of any sign and in terms of the cosmos, the planet Pluto is in that for the sign of Aquarius which means collectively we can expect the unexpected of new beginnings. 

    Earth Grounding Capricorn Energy

    Without getting into the nitty gritty of everything going on in the cosmos, alongside the influences of Chiron the wounded healer in Aries, Neptune in Pisces, Mars and Uranus in Taurus it’s a dense pressure cooker with regards to internal tension and emotions arising from beneath the surface and shadows. Capricorn is an earth sign so really focus on practices such as grounding and earthing a well as spending time in nature to relax, reset and release. It’s feeling to me energetically like one of those moons that feels like a lot in the moment but afterwards and the end you feel so much better for it, lightened and lifted. Capricorn is the sea goat after all so instinctively and intuitively you know how to navigate the sometimes choppy, other times still waters of your emotions and the subconscious. 

    Journaling Prompts Capricorn Full Moon 2024

    Without further ado, let’s get into some journaling prompts shall we?

    Timing + Energy

    Reflect on what was going on for you at the end of June compared to now?

    What is coming to an end for you at this moment in time? What do you consciously want to let go of and shed?

    Can you relate to a deer and it’s time to shed antlers? Does this correlate with the season and timing of your life? Linking to the past episode I did intuitively on identity shifts. Is one taking place for you in this current cycle of your life?

    How would you like to see your life shift and change in the long term, say next 5 to 10 years?

    Family

    What is the state of your current family relationships and dynamics?

    Are there any unresolved issues or tensions within my family that need addressing at this point in time? How can you approach this from a compassion and nurturing perspective for yourself?

    Career and Reputation

    Capricorn is linked to career and public image/reputation. 

    What is currently going on for you in your career and is there anything you need to complete and/or let go of? Is there a desire or need to recalibrate within your career? 

    How do you think you are perceived at this point in time whether it’s personally or professionally? What can you do off the back of this information?

    Emotions

    How can you balance your emotional needs with your personal responsibilities? 

    Reflect on a harmonious balance and interplay for you between nurturing yourself and having discipline and structure. Perhaps take inspiration from deer: gentle, sweet, innocent, graceful, loving, strong, protective – they are very attuned to what is going on around them.

  • 83: Navigating Identity Shifts: Embracing Change

    Are you feeling like you are changing? You might be going through an identity shift. This episode is all about what is an identity shift, why an identity shift may occur, the emotions that can come up when going through an identity shift as well as practical tips and mindset perspectives on how to navigate and embrace an identity shift happening.

    Hello beautiful souls, and welcome to today’s episode inspired by the 8 beautiful women I am taking on retreat to Bali in less than 3 weeks! A beautiful golden thread that weaves amongst us all is that we are all navigating and relating identity shifts whether its in regards to different stages of life or a coming of ages for example.

    It’s so interesting for me to speak about it especially given my human design personally I have a completely open and undefined g centre and with that comes a common misconception especially for reflectors that it means you have no identity which isn’t true. I definitely have one and if you were to ask people who is Phi I think you’d find they would say human design expert, life coach, positivity queen, beach living, the colour orange, sunflowers and so fourth.

    Thus we have this concept of self appointed identity and your true identity. There’s so many layers to this and I delve into this in greater depth in Chapter 7 Self Identity of my book The Great Unlearning available as a physical book, e book and audiobook too by the way!

    I write that learning is that 

    You are (insert name). You are (insert number) years old. You are a (insert job here). 

    Who are you? Who are you really? Are you you because of you or because the world made you this way? Do you know your place in this world? How do you answer those awkward ice breakers in a group environment? Fun fact about yourself? (Cue the anxiety racking your brain for one.) Two truths and a lie? What makes you, you? You are normal, right? 

    Human Design as a tool to navigate an identity shift

    We have labels and ways we attempt to understand ourselves ultimately as a divine soul having a human experience. Our identity is one of those ways we make sense of the world and the best tool, modality and framework for that in my opinion is human design because it’s so incredibly powerful. It’s a map and guide to who you are through the lens of your energy, personality, where energy flows between different parts of who you are, life themes and amongst a diverse and rich set of information found in your human design blueprint which I’ll add I do readings as well as online blueprints which you can find on my website and to book in a reading with me.

    Saturn Return and Identity Shift

    So how did identity shifts come into the fold of conversation well the other day last week I found myself at the beach on the sand after I swim where I used to live for four years and it dawned on me that I hadn’t been back since I moved out off the back of the breakup 2 years ago with my ex partner of 3 years.

    I had this moment where I was like wow I am so different to the girl who used to come to this beach everyday whether it was 5am before work and side hustle life coaching or 11am on a Monday to soak in my new found freedom running my own business.

    That in itself I had so many identities tied to this one moment time and strangely but not really because nothing is a coincidence is it, that hey I happened to also end up at this beach around the time we parted ways for good when my ex partner moved back to England.

    A few of the identity interplays I had back then:

    I was going through my Saturn Return at around the age of 27. Before my Saturn Return begun I had just moved to my own two bedroom apartment and planned to have a hot girl single summer before I ended up meeting my ex partner, falling in love and he moved in with me. I was in a high flying corporate job as a brand strategy manager when the pandemic happened and with reduced work hours I had the downtime to start my passion project my Instagram which led to my side hustle as a life coach by demand and now it’s almost three years full time as a life  coach in my own business. 

    By the end of my Saturn Return my ex partner and I broke up and I moved to my dream apartment at a neighbouring iconic beach. If we take Saturn Return to extend to 31 for it’s final completion that’s still underway but here I am thriving and loving life three years as a life coach, have written a book, made multiple 6 figures in my business, about to take a group of incredible 8 women on retreat to Bali and recently celebrated one year with my new partner. Whewwww Saturn Return I know. As you can see so many different identities here: single, in a relationship, corporate identity, employee, self employed like even the suburbs I lived in previously was more a beach lifestyle, chilled settled down community to iconic, busy and bustling.

    Unlearning like a phoenix with your identity

    It aligns and makes sense to me of course that my book is The Great Unlearning: Awakening to living an Aligned and Authentic Life with the symbol being that of a phoenix. See that as a parallel to our identities within a life time, dying to rise and reborn from the ashes of our previous.

    Such a worthwhile, life changing experience of identity shifts but not without it’s challenges, I think these two quotes could summarise my experience:

    “Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don’t belong.”

    “We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.”

    What is an identity shift?

    Identity shifts refer to significant changes in the way individuals perceive themselves and how they define their roles, values, and beliefs. These shifts can occur gradually or suddenly and can be influenced by various internal and external factors. They often involve a reevaluation of one’s self-concept and can lead to a transformation in behavior, attitudes, and life choices.

    Why do identity shifts happen?

    Life Transitions

    Major life events such as marriage, divorce, becoming a parent, or experiencing the death of a loved one can trigger identity shifts.

    These transitions often require individuals to adapt to new roles and responsibilities, leading to a redefinition of their self-identity.

     

    “Grief does not change you, Hazel. It reveals you.”

    When my Dad was ill and passed away when I just turned 20 I became someone who lives life to the fullest, travel, try things I would never do such as when he was sick backpacking around Europe at 18/19 solo. Going to a festival by myself at Tomorrowland. Opening myself up to new experiences I previously said I would never do or consider.

    Personal Growth

    As people grow and mature, their values, beliefs, and priorities can change.

    Personal development activities, such as education, therapy, or spiritual practices, can facilitate self-discovery and identity shifts.

    Coming out of spiritual closet, feel more comfortable once I left my corporate job for example but if I’m honest it started earlier with me sharing updates on the moon.

    Career Changes

    Changing careers or job roles can significantly impact one’s sense of identity.

    Entrepreneur the way I see money e.g. investment vs a debt.

    Moving from a familiar profession to a new one can lead to a reassessment of skills, strengths, and professional identity.

    Going back to school, higher education.

    Cultural and Social influences

    Migration, exposure to different cultures, or changes in societal norms can prompt identity shifts.

    Adapting to new cultural environments can lead to a blending or reevaluation of cultural identities.

    Going back to Vietnam sparked this in me. A sense of pride, understanding my family more, my roots, ancestry and lineage.

    Health and Wellbeing

    Experiencing a major health crisis or achieving significant health goals can alter self-perception.

    Overcoming illness or making substantial lifestyle changes can lead to a renewed sense of self.

    Relationships

    Entering or leaving significant relationships can prompt identity shifts.

    Interactions with new social circles, partners, or mentors can influence one’s self-concept.

    Psychological

    Comparison to other people, self discovery 

    Inner reflections, midlife crises, or existential questions can lead to identity shifts.

    Individuals might seek deeper meaning and purpose, prompting a reevaluation of their identity.

    Identity Shift and Emotional Journey

    1. Confusion and Uncertainty

    • Loss of Familiarity:
      • Individuals may feel disoriented as they navigate new roles and identities, leading to a sense of loss regarding their former self.
    • Questioning Self-Worth:
      • During the transition, self-doubt and uncertainty about one’s abilities and value can emerge, challenging self-esteem.

    2. Anxiety and Stress

    • Fear of the Unknown:
      • The unpredictability associated with identity shifts can cause anxiety, as individuals worry about adapting to new circumstances and the potential for failure.
    • Pressure to Adapt:
      • The need to quickly adjust to new roles or environments can be stressful, particularly if external expectations are high. You want to be like a duck on water already but it takes time.

    3. Grief and Loss

    • Mourning the Old Identity:
      • Letting go of a previous identity can evoke feelings of grief and loss, similar to mourning a significant life change.
    • Sense of Nostalgia:
      • Reflecting on past roles and experiences can trigger nostalgia, sometimes making it difficult to fully embrace the new identity.

    4. Excitement and Empowerment

    • Opportunities for Growth:
      • Identity shifts often present opportunities for personal and professional growth, leading to feelings of excitement and anticipation.
    • Sense of Achievement:
      • Successfully navigating an identity shift can boost confidence and a sense of accomplishment, reinforcing self-efficacy.

    5. Resilience and Adaptability

    • Building Resilience:

    • Strengthening Coping Mechanisms:
      • Developing new coping strategies during the transition can improve overall emotional and psychological well-being.

    6. Identity Confusion and Crisis

    • Struggle with Self-Concept:
      • Identity shifts can lead to an identity crisis, where individuals struggle to reconcile different aspects of their self-concept.
    • Existential Questions:
      • Deep questioning of one’s purpose, values, and life direction can arise, leading to a period of introspection and self-exploration.

    7. Improved Self-Awareness

    • Enhanced Self-Understanding:
      • The process of navigating an identity shift can lead to greater self-awareness and a deeper understanding of one’s values, strengths, and passions.
    • Clarified Life Goals:
      • Reassessing one’s identity often results in more clearly defined life goals and a stronger sense of direction.

    8. Social and Relational Impacts

    • Changes in Relationships:
      • Identity shifts can alter dynamics in personal and professional relationships, as others adjust to the individual’s new identity.
    • Seeking Support:
      • Building a supportive network of friends, family, or professional counselors can be crucial in managing the emotional impacts of the transition.
          

    9. Emotional Rollercoaster

    • Fluctuating Emotions:
      • The journey through an identity shift is often marked by fluctuating emotions, including moments of joy, frustration, hope, and despair.
    • Navigating Ambiguity:
      • Learning to navigate the ambiguity and mixed emotions associated with identity shifts is a key part of the process.

    10. Acceptance and Integration

    • Embracing Change:
      • Gradually accepting and integrating the new identity can lead to a sense of peace and wholeness.
    • Authentic Self-Expression:
      • The culmination of an identity shift often results in more authentic self-expression and a more cohesive sense of self.

    Identity Shift Process; Framework of Stages

    1. Disruption:
      • An event or realization disrupts the current sense of identity.
      • This can cause feelings of confusion, anxiety, or loss.
    1. Exploration:
      • Individuals begin to explore new roles, beliefs, and values.
      • This phase involves self-reflection, experimentation, and seeking new experiences.
    1. Integration:
      • New aspects of identity are integrated into the self-concept.
      • This stage involves accepting and embracing the new identity, leading to a more cohesive sense of self.
    1. Stabilization:
      • The new identity becomes more stable and consistent.
      • Individuals feel more comfortable and confident in their new roles and self-perception.

    Mindset perspectives on identity shifts

    "In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or step back into safety."

    “To change who you are, change who you think you are.”

    Who are you being? What would your highest self do?

    “The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.”

    “Change is inevitable. Growth is optional.”

    Other points Phi discusses:

    • Seek support
    • Practice self care and patience
    • Self reflection and awareness: having consistent practices such as journaling
    • Values work
    • An open growth mindset
    • The past, present and future integration
    • Balancing reflection and taking action

    "Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we’ll ever do"

  • May you leap even if you feel afraid

    I don’t know who needs to hear this but you’re on the right path. Your heart is full of courage. In a world distracted by the mind, I hope you dig deep and reconnect with your heart. I hope you reconnect with your inner light that never ceases nor dwindles. It’s now up to you to make that move. The one your soul is nudging you to make. May you leap even if you feel afraid, for your spirit is fearless.

    The biggest misconception about being on the right path… is that it will just feel easy, clear and flowy all the time 😮‍💨

    Because it won’t.

    The right path will have tough moments that feel hard.

    The right path will feel clear in your soul but noisy and messy in your mind.

    The right path will have moments that don’t seem to flow and those moments are beautiful opportunities to reassess.

    Regardless, the right path is something you create by following your intuition, trusting your soul and making moves (especially when it feels scary!)

    Time to make your move 🔥

  • Embrace the essence of your authentic self

    Embrace the essence of your authentic self, unafraid to shine in your full glory. 

    Let the world witness your unwavering confidence and unyielding strength. 

    Every challenge you face is but fuel for your inner fire, forging you into a force of nature.

     Stand tall, knowing that your worth is intrinsic and immeasurable, untouched by the judgments of others.

    When did the world teach you that you weren’t good enough? That you shouldn’t shine so brightly or be so bold?

    This is the great unlearning to break free from predefined expectations and to buck the trend.

    When did we become a society that be default we fear to be truly seen for who we are and confident for that.

    The ego often gets a bad wrap but in its high expression its confidence, self trust and self assurance.

    Unlearn that perfectionism is required to be worthy and of value.

    Lean into your imperfections, all of who you are 🧡

  • And suddenly you’re older

    And suddenly you’re older. Fear hits you like a truck as does the anxiety and panic.

    Here’s the the thing, what a privilege it is to age. You are also wiser. You are also stronger. You are also more resilient. 

    Age has made you more agile and adaptable. 

    You’ll never be as young as you are right now. Your spirit is eternal. Your spirit is endless. The sum of who you are in this moment is every age that you’ve been. 

    Think of who you’ve been before, who you are now and who you are becoming. That is oh so very beautiful.

    Society often portrays aging, especially for women, as something to be feared or avoided. But aging is a natural, inevitable part of life that brings wisdom, experience, and new opportunities.

    Marilyn Ferguson rightly says “Of all the self-fulfilling prophecies in our culture the assumption that aging means decline and poor health is probably the deadliest.”

    People immediately think of everything to lose with age and forget that with loss comes so much gain…

    Experience

    Self Acceptance

    New Opportunities and Possibilities

    Growth

    What is forgotten is that your soul is ageless.

    “How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?”
