In today’s episode, I sit down with my friend Samara. Originally from Brazil, she’s been calling Australia home for the past 14 years.

Samara is an Aries Rising, Cancer Sun, and Leo Moon - a combination that shines brightly through her personality.

She’s a devoted mother, a social worker, and is extremely passionate about her work and connection with Aboriginal communities here in Australia.

Samara is passionate, full of heart, and a true go-getter. She thrives on making connections, getting out into the world, and fighting for social justice.

Above all, she embraces every experience as an opportunity for growth, reflecting on the good and the bad, seeing each moment as a chance to learn and grow.

Her journey hasn’t always been easy, but through self-exploration, reconnecting with her spiritual side, the power of astrology, and therapy, she’s discovered a path of resilience, passion, and the pursuit of authenticity.

I have a feeling the next chapter of her story will be filled with endless possibilities - a time where she will truly bloom.

In this very first episode, I sit down with my friend Vanessa Beachamp, Libra Rising, Capricorn Sun, Virgo Moon. Vanessa is a woman whose chart, and life, have been shaped by powerful transformation, creativity, and deep emotional wisdom. With Libra Rising and Pluto in the 1st house, Vanessa has walked through many cycles of rebirth, shedding old layers and stepping into new versions of herself time and time again. In our conversation, we explore her early years in the fashion industry, travelling the world, and how tantric and somatic healing helped her reconnect with herself. After returning home and starting a family, she found herself torn between two worlds - the high-energy, fashion-fueled lifestyle and the grounded, spiritual path of yoga and therapy. It was through a series of intense Pluto experiences and a deep dive into Aware Parenting and Radical Unschooling that Vanessa began to craft a life that truly aligned with her soul. With a Capricorn Sun, Vanessa’s sense of purpose has slowly unfolded over time, and she now channels that energy through her writing - offering grounded wisdom rooted in experience. Her Virgo Moon in the 12th house adds intuitive depth, empathy, and a sacred need to retreat, reflect, and connect with herself through embodiment practices and connection with the unseen. As someone with Libra Rising and Pluto in her 1st house, she holds space with grace and strength - a natural therapist and guide for others moving through their own seasons of change.
