listen to this if you need to be reminded that peace with yourself and your body is more than possible. 🌹 [watch the full video on youtube] [https://youtu.be/c64sBLjSSKg] how i healed my relationship to my body: discipline, intuition & self trust. 💎 in this new free to be ourselves episode, I share my 18-year journey of healing my body, rebuilding self-trust, and discovering a new kind of discipline — one rooted in intuition. Through many ups and downs, I went from self-sabotage & constant negative self-talk to actually feeling good and at peace within myself. Over the years, I have gained and lost 40 pounds many times, always searching for the next best fix in workout regimens and diets. After over a year of stable improvement in both my health and overall well-being, I now believe the main key is this: doing what you truly want to do, in all aspects of your life, will bring you closer to the healthy body you desire.may this serve as a reminder that every day is a new opportunity to start over and choose different.

[ftbo ep04] fate, yod activations and what i've been up to

Hi there! I’m on a 3-week solo trip in Europe for the very first time. I set foot in Malaga, Espana three days ago. As I was sitting by the beach yesterday, I felt like recording this episode. This summer, I was a witness to my mother’s cancer diagnosis. I ended up being the one who told her that doctors found, out of the blue, a tumor on her ovaries. After months of being told she was alright, it was a shock for everyone. This news came two weeks after I “celebrated” 25 years since my father’s passing. He died from a rare cancer, one that attacked his nervous system. Back in January, I knew that the apex of my yod being in Pisces, I would experience some intense stuff. But I did not really expect that. Funny enough, I recorded this episode not knowing that the north node in Pisces would conjunct my Mercury in Pisces today, out of all days… I mean, this only reinforces what I now believe to be true: it was all part of a plan. I really feel like we’ve all been here before. A part of us knows. It’s just a matter of connecting to our intuition often enough to remember. I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for being here. Here’s a gorgeous sunset seen from playa El Palo, in Malaga.

[ftbo ep03] astrology, the squirrel theory and the Yod with Torie from Holy City Mystic

Hi FTBO fam! Today, I’m sharing with you a conversation I had with Torie from Holy City Mystic [https://www.holycitymystic.com/] on astrology, and most specifically, the Yod aspect. I have been exploring the Yod for some time. My curiosity got piqued 2 years ago, when I learned I have a Yod in my birth chart. The words “Finger of God” and “fate” were found in everything I read on the subject. As someone who deeply believes that she can “write her own story” and “empower herself to create the life of her dreams”, let me tell you: it’s pretty confronting to learn that I might just be thrown left and right on a path that leads me somewhere I apparently HAVE to go. It’s like this constant pressure to do or create something I know I have to, but I don’t really know how, or why, or even WHAT it is? I reached out to Torie in December 2024, and we had this chat in the first few days of January this year. Torie is an amazing (and wise!) astrologer from South Carolina who I discovered on YouTube thanks to the algorithm that noticed I was *often* searching for information on the Yod aspect. She has 3 yods in her chart (!!!) and I just love the way she explains astrology. I highly recommend diving into her YouTube channel [https://www.youtube.com/@holycitymystic7191]. I was lucky to get my chart read by her after our conversation. And listening to her way of seeing the planets communicating together felt like EVERYTHING made sense. Like everything had its place. Like everything was explainable. We often hear the phrase “it was written in the stars”. Well, I feel like maybe it was? I’ve been reviewing my perspective on free will since then (which I find confronting, obviously). I’ll keep you posted on my experiments! In this episode, we also talk about Torie’s journey with astrology, the important role we (just like squirrels) play in the grand scheme of life, and the use of both Whole Signs and Placidus systems when reading one’s chart. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts! Share this episode with your astrology BFFs and check if you have a Yod in your chart by using this website [https://astro-charts.com/] (it’s free!).

[ftbo ep02] Your dreams matter.

In this episode, I talk about why your dreams matter, how I fought to keep my dreams alive *in spite of* the very real realization at a young age — 7 years old to be exact — that tomorrow is not guaranteed. I also briefly mention my experience in reclaiming my power and agency over my spiritual beliefs [i.e. leaving the Bahai faith in 2020]. ✼ free to be ourselves is a space for creativity, intuition, self-discovery, and the sacredness of all things. ✼ I'm Alexandra, an artist, alchemist, and seeker of truths. 🌀 I offer thoughts & tools to deepen your relationship to Self & your intuition. 🧚‍♀️ Aries ☉ Leo ☽ Sag ↑ / Emotional Manifestor 4/6 ✼ subscribe to ftbo on substack: https://freetobeourselves.substack.com [https://freetobeourselves.substack.com] connect with me: https://www.freetobeourselves.com [https://www.freetobeourselves.com] discover my music: https://morenoalexandra.bandcamp.com [https://morenoalexandra.bandcamp.com] / https://www.morenoalexandra.com/ [https://www.morenoalexandra.com/] Get full access to free to be ourselves at freetobeourselves.substack.com/subscribe [https://freetobeourselves.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4]
