Astrology, Rituals & Other Things We Take Too Seriously w/ Colin Bedell
Welcome to Life Be Life.ing a podcast by Bethany Heals Season 3 | Episode 7
I wrangled Colin Bedell onto this podcast after sitting in on his lecture at the NORWAC 2026 astrology conference and realizing that his entire framework was basically the blueprint for Echoes of Self. I had to get him on the mic immediately.Colin is brilliant, hilarious, and genuinely one of a kind.
And this conversation isn't what you think it's going to be. Yes we talk about astrology. But what we really get into is why all the information, all the practices, all the spiritual seeking isn't actually creating the transformation you're looking for... and what does.
Predictions without practice is predatory. That line alone is worth the whole listen.
If this episode landed for you, Echoes of Self is where we keep going. It’s my seasonal four-week offering for when you’re ready to stop losing yourself every time life gets loud and start building the practices that help you return.
