LUCK, PENNIES, AND GOOD VIBES: Is Luck Real or Something We Create?

In this episode of The Tangent Redhead, I’m talking all about luck… and why I don’t think it’s just random. We get into everything from beginner’s luck and Lady Fortuna to lucky pennies, astrology vibes, music, and mindset shifts. I share some nostalgic stories about my grandma, bingo nights, and the little moments that shape how I see energy and opportunity. As we move out of Aquarius season and into Pisces energy, this episode leans into intuition, positivity, and the idea that maybe luck is something we help create ourselves. It’s a mix of personal stories, a little woo-woo, and real-life reflections on growth, gratitude, and finding your own version of lucky.

The “I Don’t Want To” Day: Accountability, Aquarius, and Trying Anyway

When friendships change and you don't know why

This episode is for anyone who’s had a friendship change and couldn’t even explain why. No huge fight. No betrayal. Just distance. I’m talking about the quiet shifts that happen when life gets busy, people grow in different directions, and your emotional bandwidth is maxed out. We get into “grandfathered friends,” the weird sadness of breaking up with coworkers, the idea of social capacity (aka you can’t hold everyone the same way forever), and how to spot when a friendship starts to feel like emotional labor. If you’ve been feeling guilty about drifting, this one’s for you.
