After weeks of significant Aries energy, Heidi and Ellen welcome the steady, sure sign of Taurus. The urgency and speed of Aries give way to a quieter willpower. There is great strength in Taurus, but it is used carefully and deliberately. Taurus wants to see that what has been planted under Aries will come to fruition. It looks to grow beauty and magnetize resources needed.

They discussed the Taurus birthday of Stephen Colbert and John Oliver.

Heidi read the poem Mending Blessing by Jan Richardson.

When they last spoke- Alex was confused about whether or not to move- how to feel less stressed by the balance between work and parenting, and how to carve more space in the day for herself.

A little more than one year later, Ellen and Alex catch up to see what Alex decided about her future.

In this episode we discussed Alex's significant life changes over the past year. Alex shared how she transformed her daily routine, including establishing a morning ritual and adjusting her work schedule to create more balance. We discussed Alex's decision to stay in Hawaii rather than relocate, and her focus on making incremental changes rather than drastic ones. Alex acknowledged learning from last year's overcommitment and is being more mindful about workloads in 2026.

The conversation concluded with Alex sending an email pitch to David Blaine's publicist, which resulted in an immediate response.

Heidi and Ellen welcome the sign of Pisces, the final sign of the astrological year. It is a culminating and synthesizing sign, a time when we end chapters and release what no longer serves. It's also a time to start dreaming, listening, and intuiting. We feel our way forward, sensing the route to the new threshold.

They celebrate the birthdays of legendary Pisceans Bad Bunny and Catherine O'Hara. Heidi read the poem 'I Ask My Mother To Sing' by Li-Young Lee.

Heidi and Ellen welcome Aquarius, the season of gathering in the name of PROGRESS. This is the sign of HUMANITY. This is the sign of democracy and equality. We are in distressing times. But we are also in a time when huge change and reinvention is possible. This is a call to gather, a call to make new choices, a call to think outside the box, a call to dig deep.

They celebrate the birthdays of Virginia Woolf and Toni Morrison. Heidi read the poem Shedding the Old by Samantha Thornhill.

Heidi and Ellen share their favorite gifts, books and movies for this holiday season. What started as a simple little list just kept growing! It reminded us how much joy there is in choosing something with someone specific in mind—how a gift can feel like a tiny love letter. It made us appreciate how much happiness there is in finding things that make people feel seen.

We hope this collection sparks inspiration—and maybe helps you think of the people you love and the small things that would brighten their day.

Enjoy—and happy gifting.
