Friday with Friends: Astrology of Liberation with Leah Tioxon

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit desireebstephens.substack.com [https://desireebstephens.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_7] You Were Never Separate Before we begin… Take a breath. Not to center yourself.Not to “get grounded.”Not to do it right. Just notice that your body is already breathing for you. That rhythm?That pulse?That quiet, steady inhale and exhale? You didn’t create that. You are being lived. And that is where we begin. This Was Never About Astrology Let me tell you the truth about that Friday with Leah. We didn’t sit down to “learn astrology.” We sat down to remember something that was never supposed to be taken from us in the first place. Because before charts became content…Before birth data became algorithms…Before intuition became something you had to “prove”… There was knowing. There was relationship. There was a time when people understood themselves as part of the sky—not separate from it. And what I felt in my body as Leah began speaking wasn’t “Oh, that’s interesting.” It was: I know this. What Supremacy Culture Had to Sever Let’s be clear about something. Supremacy culture does not just operate through systems and institutions. It operates through disconnection. * Disconnection from body * Disconnection from land * Disconnection from intuition * Disconnection from cycles * Disconnection from spirit * Disconnection from each other Because if you are disconnected… You can be controlled. If you do not trust your body…You will look outside of yourself for authority. If you do not trust your intuition…You will wait for permission. If you do not understand cycles…You will believe urgency is natural. But it’s not. Urgency is trained. Disconnection is trained. And what I experienced on Friday was the opposite of that training. The Sky Is Not Above You One of the most harmful things we’ve been taught is that the sky is something “out there.” Something to observe.Something to study.Something separate. But that’s not how our ancestors understood it. The stars were not decoration. They were relationship. They were guidance.They were timing.They were reflection. And your chart? It is not telling you who to be. It is showing you the language your soul already speaks. Not a script. A mirror. What It Felt Like to Be Seen Leah didn’t “read” me. She reflected me. She named things I have lived.Things I have resisted.Things I have grown into. And what struck me wasn’t the accuracy. It was the recognition. Because your body knows when something is true. Not because it makes sense.But because it resonates. And that’s the part supremacy culture tries to override. It tells you: * “That’s not logical.” * “That’s not proven.” * “That doesn’t make sense.” But truth was never meant to live only in the mind. Truth lives in the body. And when she spoke, my body didn’t question. It softened. 🔒 For Paid Subscribers What My Chart Reflected Back to Me What became clear in that space is something I want you to sit with gently. I am not building a life from scratch. I am (re)membering one. (and you are too) A life where: * I don’t move from urgency * I don’t perform certainty * I don’t wait until I can explain something to live it I move when it’s true. Even when it doesn’t make sense yet. Even when I can’t articulate it. Even when it disrupts expectations. And if you’re reading this… There is somewhere in your life where you are already doing that. And somewhere else where you are still being asked to trust it.

The Day of Oaths, The New Year, and the Return to Practice

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit desireebstephens.substack.com [https://desireebstephens.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_7] What I shared in the live wasn’t just about March 25th. It was about orientation. It was about telling the truth about where you actually are in your life… not where the calendar tells you you should be. Because the truth is… what you’ve been taught about time, about “new year,” about when you’re supposed to begin again… is not neutral. It was constructed. And once you see that, something in you starts to loosen. Because then the question becomes: If all of that was decided for me…what is actually true for my life? This moment right here —this threshold between renewal and becoming— is a true beginning. Not because I said it. Because you can feel it. Things are moving.Things are softening.Things are asking to come alive again. And for me… this is real in a way I can’t ignore. This is my first time returning to the garden since my separation. And now I’m back. Not the same.Not where I was. But here. And that matters. Because renewal isn’t instant. It takes time to come back to yourself. It takes time to rebuild capacity.To reclaim what was yours.To return to something with new awareness. So when I talk about this season, I’m not talking in theory. I’m talking about lived return. And this is where I want to shift you. Because this is not about resolution. This is not about fixing yourself. That’s supremacy culture. That constant hum that tells you:you’re not enough yetyou need to improveyou need to be better No. This moment is not asking you to fix anything. It is asking you to tell the truth. If you’re ready to go deeper into this—into actually working with this moment as a threshold, as a true new year, as a place of commitment instead of correction— I’ve opened up the full piece. Inside, we move into: A guided Oath practice you can walk with tomorrow Practice Your Praxis across Self, Home, and Work so this becomes lived—not just understood Journal prompts pulled directly from this conversation to help you name what you’re actually ready for And a deeper truth about how days like this were slowly reframed and absorbed—so you lost access without even realizing it This is not about information. This is about (re)orientation.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
