Stop Daydreaming, Start Building

Stop Daydreaming, Start Building

In case you missed my live conversation with my friend Laurie Gunning Grossman [https://www.holdthelightcollective.com/], you can still watch our replay. This is a good one! I was so honored to chat with Laurie about the summer ahead, what to expect, and how to use this time to shape your next steps while still enjoying the season. I also made a very exciting announcement about the summer program I’m launching at the end of June. It’s for people who are feeling a little confused and uncertain about their next steps and want a simple, structured method to help them focus on one goal that will really move the needle in their lives. Instead of trying to do it all this summer, it’s about focusing on doing one thing well so you have the structure you need to get it done, and freedom you want to enjoy the season! Four calls, four weeks, easeful and effective. Boom. (More to come, but if this interests you reply and let me know and we can chat further.) In my 30 minutes with Laurie, we covered a lot of ground: * The astrological and collective energy of 2026 — why so many people are craving a win right now and what that craving is actually pointing to * The daydreaming trap: what it is, why it keeps us stuck, and how to recognize when you’ve slipped into it * Structure as a doorway to freedom — and why that’s not the contradiction it sounds like for people on a spiritual path * Small wins as a strategy: how connecting incremental steps to bigger goals builds real momentum instead of overwhelm * Voting against yourself: the subtle ways fear of visibility and attachment to old stories keep us from moving forward * The September 1 exercise: a practical way to identify one or two goals that would genuinely change your life by end of summer I love my friend Laurie so dearly. Connections with her in Sedona last year was such a gift, as it is with everyone I meet these days. Friends, this is how the world works when it is at its best. I work practically, talk spiritually, love science, and believe the unknown has many gifts to offer us when we engage with it. Let’s have a great week! Trust yourself and be well!

Let's Have a Good Month: June 2026

This is a month to get busy and get it done. June is the end of the first half of the year and it’s a good time to wrap up what you’ve learned and start embodying the new you. July is going to be another game-changer so we’re going to want to have recalibrated, alchemized, and metabolized all that we’ve learned so far. In this podcast I speak about a new program I’m launching in July that focuses on One Summer Win. * We focus on one manageable goal for 4 weeks * You move the needle where it counts so you don’t have to play catch-up in September * You still have plenty of time for the joys of summer like kids incongruent camp schedules, long dreamed-of getaways, and last-minute rosé with friends Are you ready for your summer win that will make all the difference?: Let’s Talk [https://www.kelseybanfield.com/contact] This is a public episode.

Let's Have a Good Week: 5.25.26

Theme of This Week: Eyes on the Horizon 📌Think of it this way: It’s an intense week and we all need to remember that squares and squeezes lead to lasting change. ♊️ Energies this Week May 25 - Sun square Nodes, Mars square Pluto, Sun Trine Pluto May 26 - Grand Air Trine May 28 - Venus square Saturn May 31 - Full Moon in Sagittarius 💫 Integrating these Energies in Real Life: This is going to be a week of squeezes and pushes. When I coach people I remind them not to fear the hard stuff, but instead to see it as information they can use to inform their future. I know it’s not always that easy, but the wheel of life is always turning and this year is particularly busy. There is no escaping change, and that isn’t a bad thing. This week things are heating up again - we rarely get a reprieve this year - and June is going to be a busy month that brings us into a very busy summer. May is going to go out with a roar and that’s okay. Let it be a big month and know that we’re all being set up for change, growth, and excitement ahead. The world is keeping us on our toes, so meet it where it is and let’s make this a good week. 🎯 4 Things to Focus on This Week: 1️⃣ Nimble 2️⃣ Reflect 3️⃣ Awareness 4️⃣ Trust Trust yourself and be well.

When this is complete they can begin to move forward again in a way that’s meaningful and exciting. Since we’re all sitting in a giant energy grid it’s important to know the energies at play so we can harness them and use them to our advantage. This week is still a week for action, but also for staying flexible when the surprises come your way. 🎯 4 Things to Focus on This Week: 1️⃣ Action 2️⃣ Surrender 3️⃣ Flexibility 4️⃣ Certainty Trust yourself and be well.

Let's Have a Good Week: 5.11.26

Theme of This Week: Soak it up 📌Think of it this way: This is a week with a lot of beneficial alignments. Get excited for it and the new moon that caps it all off next weekend! ♉️ Energies this Week May 13 – Mercury sextile Jupiter May 14 – Sun conjunct Mercury (Cazimi) May 16 – New moon in Taurus, Mars conjunct Chiron May 17 – Mercury moves into Gemini, Mercury conjunct Uranus 💫 Integrating these Energies in Real Life: I love this week. It starts off with a glow from the Sun sextile Jupiter on Sunday. This energy sets the tone for an exciting week ahead. A lot of this week will center around communication with Mercury in the mix. It’s going to ping a lot of planets and the reverberations will be felt by all. Take this as guidance to use the week to communicate what you’d like, what you want, and where you want to go. Put values into motion through words, and make words part of your action. Equally as important, read a lot and take in as much as you can. Knowledge is power. This is new era is about witnessing the tall structures we’ve built that have elevated a chosen few fall the pieces. The rebuilding won’t be about building another tower. Instead, it will be about rebuilding intentional communities so we all work more like bees in a hive than serfs to people on pedestals. The new moon at the end of the week is a real line in the sand. After a tumultuous first few months of 2026, we are landing on stable ground as individuals. Taurus is an Earth sign and it’s really time to keep seeding and tending to our gardens now and through November. Remember, seeding can be anything from what we want to grow, what we want to accomplish, what we want to do for ourselves, and more. It’s about growing things for the long term, not trying bring a vision board to life. Do note, this also means we’ll also be leaving the fire energy of Aries and having to begin to acknowledge the consequences of the actions taken during this time. World astrology is different than personal astrology, but there are parallels. Continue to focus on empowering yourself to create the future you seek and your own intentional communities. This is the new era and it will take a long time for it to form from what is falling. There is more to come in July and August, but we will save that for future podcasts! 🎯 4 Things to Focus on This Week: 1️⃣ Communicate: Get out into the world with your words and use them to build the next steps you seek. 2️⃣ Read: Take in all the knowledge and input you can, using curiosity and discernment as you go. 3️⃣ Move: This energy will move and feel good. Keep up your pace and move throughout the whole week with your eyes on the horizon. 4️⃣ Certainty: We are firmly in the new era now and it’s time to use this energy to your benefit. Love it and move with it! Trust yourself and be well. Let’s have a good week! EXTRA NOTES Carissa’s new book! → Pre-order The Alchemy Transmissions here!
