episode 9: finding meaning in the stars - a conversation with alyssa fry, spiritual mentor & astrological guide

in this episode i engage in a conversation with alyssa fry - spiritual mentor & astrological guide. she empowers people to co-create their most authentic life in alignment with their soul and the cosmos. i chose to invite alyssa to this conversation because I have witnessed alyssa navigate uncertainty with a deep sense of trust in herself and her inner knowing. from when we first worked together, in the early years of her business, until now - she has been committed to keeping the spark of her soul alive in her life, business and relationships, even when it has required her to confront her fears and take risks. and i’m excited to invite her into this conversation to chat about how she is choosing to embrace the witchiest part of herself, her dark feminine, and what that means for her moving forward. in this episode, we discuss: • who alyssa is and how she would describe herself and her essence, • what her definition of 'authenticity' is and how it has evolved with time, • how she knows when she is not living in authenticity, • what she has been surrendering and unlearning to step more fully into authenticity, • how she has used astrology as a tool to guide and support her journey, • what a birth chart is, what the major placements are and what each one tells you, • what aspects might be impacted if you do not know your birth time,  • what her biggest 'aha' moments have been in understanding the nuances of her chart, • how a birth chart relates to the placements of the planets on any given day and how to form a relationship between the two, • what major themes were present surrounding this year's summer solstice, • what she has been reclaiming in her identity and how that relates to the 'dark feminine' and • how the metaphor of the enchanted forest changed how she perceives her business and how you can meet her in it.  to learn more about alyssa and her astrological offerings, i invite you to follow her on instagram at: www.instagram.com/authentically.alyssa.
