Holographic Life: Holding the Vision Through the Discomfort, Summer Updates, and Being Changed By Community

Hi Crybabies! At the start of 2026 I had a huge vision: my first group program. I’d never done anything like that, but I wanted to SO badly that I was willing to kick myself out of my comfort zone in very intentional ways all year in order to see my vision come to life. In today’s episode, I tell the stories of what it took for me to be brave enough to launch (and sell out!) my first group program, and what it’s like now as I’m in the middle of enrollment for my magnum opus, HOLOGRAPHIC [https://ayu-astral-pathways.myflodesk.com/holographic]. You get all the behind the scenes and TEA of what the this year as a biz owner has been like for, inside of my world and the things that I’ve created. The vibe is very much “besties on Facetime” so let’s chat.

Make Your Perfectionism Irrelevant in Four Steps

Hi Crybabies! I’m SO excited about today’s episode!! Literally recorded this at 10pm on a Friday because I was THAT inspired. This episode is low key a masterclass in how to BEGIN the process of making your perfectionism irrelevant—aka dethroning it from its seat of power and influence in your life. This is the exact framework that I’m going to be walking us through during IN PROCESS [https://ayu-astral-pathways.myflodesk.com/in-process-s], my 4-week summer camp for for creatives ready to reclaim their creative process, self-expression, and visibility from the chokehold of perfectionism (waitlist gets $50 off! We start June 1) Why am I sharing it all for you here?! Because I’m generous, duh. Also because I just want everyone to be FREED from the chokehold of their perfectionism. Here are the four steps I walk us through: 001: Create a relationship with your perfectionism 002: Orient yourself around being present in process (versus hyperfixating and pedestalizing your desired goals/outcomes) 003: Your vulnerability = your superpower 004: Microdose discomfort If you love this episode and wanna do all of this with me (and other cool people) then join IN PROCESS [https://ayu-astral-pathways.myflodesk.com/in-process-s]!

If Motivation and Consistency Are Hard For You, Try This

Hi Crybabies! In this episode I share a little bit about why I went silent in March, but mostly I talk about why I think it’s helpful for us as creatives to stop focusing on motivation and consistency, and instead direct our focus on resourcing ourselves, and surrendering to our cycles. I share about how you can use your astrology chart as a starting point for what YOU need in order to feel resourced, and then get into how to identify what cycle you’re in, why that matters, and how to surrender to it. [also halfway thru the episode I realized my mic wasn’t plugged in - the audio is fine throughout but, ya kno. just human thingz] This episode was recorded with no notes, off-the-cuff as part of my journey/process of reconnecting with my voice. Work with me: * Book a Creative Archetype Immersion [https://ayu-astral-pathways.myflodesk.com/creative-archetype] if you’d like to know what your natal chart says about how you can resource yourself for your creative work, and what your creative cycles tend to look like.
