There are moments in life when the ground shifts beneath us—moments that ask us to release who we have been and surrender to who we are becoming.
In this conversation with Christine Eck, we explore these initiatory thresholds: the postpartum window, identity shifts, creative rebirth, and the deeply human experience of meeting ourselves in the dark.
Whether it’s the identity rupture of new parenthood, a dream dissolving, a relationship shifting, or a calling echoing from somewhere you can’t yet see, these moments feel like freefall. They feel like failure. They feel like we are being unmade.
And yet—they feel like that because it is a death.
And it is also the beginning of a profound becoming.
The only way out is through.
The gift is at the bottom.
And you cannot effort your way into becoming—you can only surrender into it.
Enjoy this episode. And tune in next week for part two.
 
we discuss —
The beauty in the bottom of the chasm
Laying down our fear of failure
Caregiving as witnessing, not rescuing
The quiet tools that carry us through initiations
Why we don’t walk alone

Today I’m sharing my second conversation with writer and astrologer Erin Kelley.
We tell our personal (and planetary) stories of loss, seduction, codependency, and people-pleasing — as we explore how mid-life transits can become portals to authentic intimacy.
We also discuss Erin's Slow Magick practice and how to change your life in sacred time.
 
As soon as I started to do the deep work… it changed how I was in my relationships. Once I was able to show up in a different way and be intimate in a whole new experience — that freedom of expression showed me how: “Oh no sweetie, you weren’t just codependent in your romantic relationships. That shit was everywhere.” — Erin Kelley 
we discuss —
the power of a second act
mid-life transits as portals for transformation
ending cycles of Self-abandonment
starting over after loss of love, job, money, everything
Neptune’s illusions and delusions
the tension between the 1st house of Self and the 7th house of Other
releasing codependence and people-pleasing
what committed partnership really means
the devotional practice of Slow Magick
the pleasure of stepping into the Moment

In this Winter Solstice reflection, grace explores a thread of freedom that looks like failure on the outside. 
Drawing on Gene Key 32, the archetype of the VIRGIN, and her own journey through multiple "failures," she reveals why veneration (not success) is the real game waiting to unlock.

You’ve probably heard of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. It’s a pyramid that puts survival at the bottom and self-actualization at the top. But what if Maslow has it upside down?
In this episode, grace invites us to imagine self-actualization not as a prize for doing the work, but as the pulse and driving force behind everything you are doing, everything you are trying to achieve.
She traces the path to the Desire behind the desire behind the desire. Because it turns out: You have nothing to prove — only layers of longing to follow.
 
“You can’t self-actualize through affirmations or self-help books. Who you are can only be actualized in Self through energetic mastery, rigorous self-honesty, and an unmistakeable and unique connection to what is greater than you.” — grace allerdice 
we discuss —
how Maslow inverted an indigenous Blackfoot paradigm
unlocking + embodying your fullest, most true expression
the false promises of Success without Self-actualization
why things often fall apart in midlife
next steps for finding your path
