"It's not your fault."

Those four words, the first line of Tamu Thomas's book Women Who Work Too Much became the invitation for this month's touchstone. If the system was never built for us to thrive, if we've been running on empty because we were told that's what it means to be a worthy woman, then maybe the only way forward is to reframe.

In this episode of The Wild Woman with Sarah Diop, Sarah guides you through:

• The theme of reframing inspired by the Tamu Thomas conversation

• April 2026 astrology including Mars in Aries, Venus in Taurus, Taurus season, and Uranus entering Gemini

• April moon dates: Full Moon in Libra (April 1) and New Moon in Aries (April 17)

• A house blessing ritual using cinnamon and salt, a Gaelic blessing to invite prosperity, cleansing, and sacredness into your home

• A morning ritual for better sleep, waiting 60–90 minutes for coffee, morning sunlight, and cold shower to optimize your circadian rhythm

• A collective tarot & ancestor reading to carry with you through the month

If you're ready to reframe what success looks like, what rest means, and how you start your day, this episode is your April touchstone.

House Blessing Ritual: Cinnamon & Salt

Spring is a time of clearing out the old and inviting in the new. This simple ritual blesses your home with prosperity (cinnamon) and cleansing (salt).

What you'll need:

• A small bowl with a mixture of cinnamon and salt
• Your front door
• Optional: A quiet moment to set your intention

The Ritual:

• Stand at your front door, facing into your home.
• Take a small amount of the mixture in your left hand (the receiving hand).
• Bring your hand to your heart centre. Set your intention: I bless this home. May it be a place of peace, prosperity, and presence.
• Blow the mixture into your home.

"Bless each window pane that lets the starlight in."
"May it be a safe haven from the storms of life."
"Bless this house with warmth and light."
"May love and kindness thrive within its walls."
"Bless this house and all that dwell within."
