Welcome to the Jamie Kern lemma show Jamie Kern lemmas for name everybody needs Jamie Kern in their life Jamie Kern. Jamie you're so inspiring Jamie Kern. I'm so happy you're here also we met and just had this great conversation I learned about your new book spirit daughter which I know is much anticipated by millions of other people and I so grateful to read an early copy of it right off the top. Can you talk about you know why you wrote this and why there is so much to say about this. Book for the person who's maybe tuning in right now and learning about you for the first time share a little bit about your story this book and then we're going to dive into shattering limiting beliefs and all kinds of exciting things I can't wait to talk about. OK so I wrote this book I really wanted people to know my story and so it's part memoir it's part self help prescriptive. I'm so excited to be able to share this book with you and share this with you. It's part self help prescriptive but it's a lot of memoirs a lot of my journey and I just felt that there was this gap between my online persona people know me as spirit daughter they see this beautiful curated Instagram feeds beautiful life and I wanted people to really know the truth the real raw messy journey of how I got to be and so for people who are in their own messy journey I want them to feel inspired when they read this book to say OK like this if Joe did this with her life I can do this too and so it just felt like a really good moment and a calling to kind of close that gap between what people know about me and see about me that kind of like polished version and you know my journey and be inspired by it. I wanted to share the during not just the after. Yeah I think that's really powerful. I think you know now online so many people just see sort of the person on the pedestal especially in different worlds of whether it's faith or spirituality or manifestation or different thought leaders of all types and it can almost seem like unattainable or or maybe not as relatable. Maybe it's still aspirational but not quite as relatable and I was saying to you when we were walking here together is that it's I think so much more powerful that you share the human part like the human journey you've gone through to get to where you're at now because I think that's how so many people will connect to that and be like oh and then they'll see parts of themselves single lot of us you know we we think that oh spiritual enlightenment can only happen to other people but we're we've made too many mistakes or we have too much self doubt or we have failed too many times and I think I think the beauty is in that journey and so were you scared at all or feel vulnerable at all sharing some of the things you shared because you share you share them. I share I share everything. And yes it was very very vulnerable to write the book in the first place to have some of the first people my editor read it. I think when I first said into her like just crawled in bed and like hit all day and that feeling of like nobody look at me. And then those moments of like I can't believe I'm sharing this with this many people and still it felt like the right thing to do and still it was just like yes I need I need to do this I need to go forward with this vulnerability and really reach for what I feel is my potential as a leader in my space by sharing who I am and sharing my journey. For the person just meeting you right now for the first time we're going to dive into shattering our limiting beliefs in a moment for the person meeting you for the first time. What would you love for them to know about you. Well I'm a mom. I feel like I always like to lead with that because no matter what is going on in my life of book launch or podcast or anything else like I'm a mom first always. I'm a Leo so I'm here to Leo's are all about leading through vulnerability. So a lot of my my journey and even with this book I've kind of leaned on that knowledge of like wow like this is how I lead through this vulnerability through this openness through this portal where everybody can see into me and that will actually just make me stronger of a leader. And then I'm also the founder and owner of Spirit Daughter where we have an online platform we have workbooks we have tools. I really started Spirit Daughter as a way to give people tools to inspire them to show up for themselves to commit to their own journey and to ultimately grow to trust themselves trust their intuition and really own their power. And a lot of ways I feel like my journey Spirit Daughter has been to bring this book to the world. And I even talk about that in the end of the book that you know I wanted to write this book before I even thought of Spirit Daughter I thought of this book first. Well so many of us are are really held back and stunted by limiting beliefs or stunted by them we convince ourselves that they're true they hold us back. So how do we shatter limiting beliefs. Step one is awareness and so we can't change anything until we're aware of it and we have so many thoughts all day long that are just running on defaults and we're not even consciously aware of them and they pop up and they come from our inner critic and they come from that part of ourselves that says we can't do this or this isn't for people like me or I didn't grow up with this or that or I don't have the credentials for this. And so it really begins with becoming aware of those thoughts making those unconscious thoughts conscious. And so that takes some time that takes a commitment to say OK I'm going to catch myself when I am you know in the middle of my day and I'm answering email or some opportunity comes my way or I'm doing the dishes and I and I'm going to catch that repeating thought whatever that might be oh I can't do this oh I don't look good enough oh you know I'm not this that or the other thing you know the good enough piece which is like plague so many of us you know I don't have what it takes so catching those thoughts and making that a diligent practice and writing them down right that's step one and as ugly as they are as horrible as they are because we say things to ourselves we would never in a million years say that anyone else ever and it's it's just mind blowing I almost I wish there was a device that could record all of our thoughts even just for a day for us so we could look back and read them and we would be shocked and so step one is just simple awareness and writing it down and then you get to do the work of changing them then you get to say OK when I have this thought I'm going to create this counter thought this counter mantra this counter affirmation and say that and eventually retrain my brain to know that I want to choose this other narrative for myself that I'm not going to be defined by this old story this old negative self talk these old patterns on repeat but awareness is key. So awareness right it down right down right down down you don't have to show anybody just write it down which I'm just it's funny when you're saying that I'm thinking of all the thoughts I've already had this morning but if I wrote those down I would not want to read that paper about myself because you're right we just all day long right they just come up and then you're saying once you're aware of them then you create a counter thought which is like OK you know when I have that thought of oh I'm not smart enough or not that whatever it might be not this enough that enough whatever it might be what's that counter thought yeah right that you probably know in your soul is true and when you think that negative one you're going to like literally catch yourself at your place it. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. Time. It's a commitment. All of these practices really change the way we think about ourselves because that's where it all starts to change our lives we need to change how we're showing up for ourselves or commitments to our practices that are ultimately going to change our behavior and what we think is possible it starts with saying OK I'm going to do this I'm going to do this for 30 days I'm going to do this for 20 days and that's why I love working with astrology and like the lunar cycles because we have this perfect 30 day container you can say on a new moon I'm going to start doing this it's the new moon I'm going to do this until the next new moon and then you kind of know there's an end in sight because it can be hard to commit to a practice indefinitely ultimately when we realize it works and we get that positive reinforcement that like oh this is working I'm starting to say less negative things to myself or I'm starting to believe things are possible and then that belief is opening up opportunities I'm able to expand my filter and see things around me instead of closing off from the world and then we just naturally continue but I find that it really starts is very helpful to say OK I'm going to do this for 30 days. So it doesn't feel like impossible to go cam committed. Yeah, yeah, small steps small steps I'm going to ask you you know. I love I love my community that's listens to the show and I love when they write in and ask questions and and sometimes I'm like I wish I asked that and also sometimes I realize you know we all have we all come from different walks of life and you know I have people listening right now that are super into astrology and into you know manifesting in this I people listening that are really into faith and they've never even read a horoscope right I have people I mean it's it's all different types of people and I love that and so one of the things I'm going to dive into in a little bit with you is really the basics of a needle's a needle chart and a lunar cycle and astrology and and and can you crack can you grab helpful bits from it if you also practice a different faith and just all of that some excited to dive in for anyone who's really curious about this and has questions I think I have a lot of good ones ready for you because I think it's fascinating and you know if God created the entire universe including lunar cycles. I'm so curious from different perspectives on on what they are but I want to ask you because I think this is such a powerful theme in your book spirit daughter that's out now own your power change your life I want to ask you when we seek power so many of us do this when we seek power outside of ourselves and that could look like oh if I get this job promotion and this job title or the white picket fence and 3.5 kids or this goal weight or that this person liking me or me being included in this friend group when we seek when we think we can get power by seeking it outside of ourselves what happens and why do we always end up feeling unfulfilled when we do that we seek power we seek happiness and so we're like oh if I get that white picket fence and I weigh 120 pounds and I drive that car like I'm going to I'm going to feel powerful and be happy happy right so it's like there's that combined effect and I find that and I talk about this in the book because I go through my own journey of losing like everything I had and I had a lot I had a closet full of Prada and Gucci and all kinds of diamonds and all things and I've basically lost most of it or put it in storage for a very long time and I don't think it's wrong necessarily to want things and so just stating that I know a lot of times when we talk about spirituality and talk to spiritual teachers and think of like Buddhism it's all like oh you can't want anything like desires the root of all suffering I think it's okay to one thing so I think it's okay to want to drive a Porsche or want that house with you know a white picket fence what we don't want is our happiness or our empowerment to depend on those things meaning if we lost them we would still have both so it's okay to one things it's not okay to be attached to them in the way that if you don't have them you don't feel empowered and you don't feel happy because when we place our power outside of ourselves or happiness then the world can take it away and things can happen we can crash that Porsche we can you know lose the house like so much can happen and if we're not rooted in ourselves and if we're not saying ourselves okay you know what all of that came from me all of that power is within me and I have the power to create all of it so I have the power to create my own internal happiness I have the power to create abundance in all forms including time and love and money I have all that power and so that if it is all taken away from me I still have my power and nobody can take that away from me and I have the power to recreate it all again and I have my happiness so that no matter where I end up wherever that may be I'll still be happy and I'll still feel empowered within who I am. So many people get in this cycle of thinking once I achieve that next thing then I'll be happy I achieve the thing on the after that you were you know in pursuit of your doctorate and just had this feeling that that wasn't it and can you can describe for everyone listening because there's a lot of people right now that are like I'm in this relationship but I don't know some things offer this job or this pursuit of this or my parents always wanted me to do this right always thought if I did this and can you talk about steps to be able to tune in and go is this is this right is this an alignment for me and my falsely thinking it will bring me happiness and and how how do we become fulfilled and happy inside ourselves without any of that stuff. Yeah, so when I was back in in school for neuroscience I stay nor genetics and I was doing great like by all standards I was like checking all the boxes and I was like okay when I get this when I get that and I was in that cycle of oh when I get this fellowship I'll be happy oh when I get this next degree I'll be happy oh when I become a tenured professor I'll be happy and so I think that's one of the biggest clues that you're not on the path that's meant for you that your soul really wants to be here for I do believe that we need to pause for a super brief break and while we do take a moment to share this episode with every single person that you know who this could inspire because this conversation can truly be the words and inspiration they need to hear today to keep going to remember that they matter and to feel less alone and more enough more connected more inspired and more worried in life you don't sort the level of your hopes and dreams you stay stuck at the level of your self-worth when you build your self-worth you change your entire life and that's exactly why I wrote my new book worthy how to believe you are enough and transform your life for you if you have some self-doubt to destroy and a destiny to fulfill worthy is for you in worthy you'll learn proven tools and simple steps that bring life changing results like how to get unstuck from the things holding you back build unshakable self-love unlearn the lies that lead to self-doubt and embrace the truths that wake up worthiness overcome limiting beliefs and imposter syndrome achieve your hopes and dreams by believing you are worthy of them and so much more are you ready to unleash your greatness and step into the person you were born to be imagine a life with zero self-doubt and unshakable self-worth get your copy of worthy plus some amazing thank you bonus gifts for you at worthy book dot com or the link in the show notes below imagine what you do if you fully believed in you it's time to find out with worthy who you spend time around is so important as energy is contagious and so is self-belief and I love to hang out with you even more especially if you could use an extra dose of inspiration which is exactly why I've created my free weekly newsletter that's also a love letter to you delivered straight to your inbox each and every Tuesday morning from me if you haven't signed up to make sure that you get it each week just go to Jamie Kern Lima dot com to make sure you're on the list and you'll get your one-on-one with Jamie weekly newsletter and get ready to believe in you if you're tired of hearing the bad news every single day and need some inspiration some tips tools joy and love hitting your inbox I'm your girl subscribe at Jamie Kern Lima dot com or in the link in the show notes.

How more of this incredible conversation together. And so I think that's one of the biggest clues that you're not on the path that's meant for you that your soul really wants to be here for because I do believe that we all have a purpose we all have a path and when we're on it we know it and it feels good we're not waiting for that next thing to happen like oh you know what I'm happy right where I am I'm still going to go for that next thing because that's part of my path but if I don't get there that's also okay and there's a bit of surrender that happens when we're actually on our path and so we feel it in every part of ourselves and our entire energy we're excited to get up for the day we're motivated. It's not that everything's easy in this unicorns flying all around it's just we know this is where we're meant to be and we're not like a waiting for that next thing to happen we actually can be rooted in ourselves and happy with where we are and so I think that's really important for people who you know maybe they're in a relationship they wake up every day and they're like what am I doing but they're afraid to leave for whatever reason they're afraid that that relationship brings them something they can't bring to themselves they're afraid that career with all of its glamour and success marks won't you know without it they won't be happy when when really that might be the thing that is taking them away from their happiness is taking them away from who they really are and so it's really important to understand you are and know that it might not make sense to people outside of you. It when I left neuroscience everybody was like what are you doing they're like you just left a fellowship you just left a stipend like everything was paid for you know my parents were happy they were telling all their friends like everybody was like what do you like what are you doing people thought I was crazy but I knew that I was not happy. I understood that and I was young enough I always say well I was like 23 so I didn't have kids and have a mortgage young enough to be crazy enough to leave and say you know what I'm going to give this all up and I'm going to find my path and I had no idea what my path was going to be at that time. I didn't start spirit daughter until I was 36 and so from 23 to 36 I had no idea what I was doing in life. Like none I just I trusted that I would figure it out and I would I trusted that when I found it it would feel right it would feel like I would wake up every day and be like okay this is what I'm supposed to be doing. Do you feel that way right now I do I do and that's one of the reasons why I wrote the book yeah and there was definitely moments where I was like what am I doing why am I putting this story out there and you know there are some publishers when we you know originally pitched this book that are like why don't you just write a book on astrology and just keep it simple Jill just write a book on like the sun signs and the lunar cycles and I was like no no I want to write this book and so it just it feels right to me. Yeah when you say it feels right I want to I want to dive into that because one of the most common questions I get asked is how can I hear my own intuition and then how can I trust it. So how can we hear our intuition and then how can we trust it. Yeah starts with awareness and practice and like I talk about in the book intuition is feeling and so the first part of feeling your intuition is opening up to your emotions and so we can't just pick and choose which emotions we feel we have to feel it all we have to feel the pain we have to feel the grief we have to feel the joy we have to feel the happiness and so it becomes a practice of really emotional intelligence in a lot of ways where we need to sit and sometimes we need to cry and we need to journal we need to allow ourselves to open up to all of our emotions some of the things we may have been avoiding for years we need to let them open and that's the key that's the key that unlocks the door to your intuition because intuition is felt and I think a lot of people think like oh it's in my mind I'm going to think my intuition. No it's felt you feel it in your body your body speaks your intuition to you before your mind ever will your mind just catching up and trying to make sense of it all and so we need to feel and that's really hard for a lot of people is to sit in their emotions and explore them be open to them journal understand them and so then when you do that you start all of a sudden feeling your intuition get those aha moments and for me my intuition shows up in like random places like when I'm walking the dog like it's just like there's an idea or in the shower like there's an idea and it comes super quick your intuition is so efficient I like to tell this to people because we spend so much time in logic and spreadsheets into do list and pros and cons lists and all of that your intuition is so efficient it's just like here's the answer and then it's up to you to follow it and that's where it takes courage and usually a leap of faith and we usually have no idea no guarantee where it's going to lead us or how it's going to end and we just have to take one step forward in the direction of our intuition in the direction of that aha moment that comes on very quickly need to catch it and take one step towards it and and then I like to tell people to start small and write everything down like keep an intuition journal I followed my intuition today and this is what happened maybe your intuition just told you to go to a coffee shop or to eat something or to wear a particular shirt right a lot of times our intuition shows up when we're even just picking out our clothes so these small things that don't have large consequences and then you write them down and you write down times and you didn't follow your intuition and what happened then. That's the part that always gets people I find when I'm working with intuition and some people just have so much like grief over that where it's like my intuition told me not to do this and I did it anyway. And it was right and it feels like when you don't follow your intuition it feels like an act of betrayal to yourself and so it's important though to write that down and know that and learn that you know learn that pattern within you like oh when my intuition speaks in this situation. I never follow it and this is what happens. It's important to become aware of that and that will give you confidence then as you review that journal over time to trust your intuition for big decisions like who to date to to marry were to move a career to go into. One thing you just said I have never heard anyone say this before and I'm having this big over it right now that you have to allow yourself to feel to then fill your intuition and so many of us even those of us who consider ourselves and pass or super intuitive have habits of numbing out scrolling Instagram me this morning eating nerds clusters the candy while drinking a Starbucks Mocha like double sugar in one moment like numbing out to things but if we're doing that you know for some of those binging Netflix or whatever it might be if we are not allowing ourselves to feel whether it's intentionally or not. How are we going to feel our intuition exactly. Huge that huge yeah because I guarantee because we're all human is so many of the people that that really right in and really really I'm trying to hear my intuition I'm not hearing about feeling it you know and yet I think now more than ever with technology at our disposal social media with everything it's just so easy to not feel also look what's happening in the world everywhere so many of us like don't want to feel right yeah and then we're bought if we're not feeling all of it we're not feeling our intuition exactly exactly. Yeah you need to open up to all of it you can't pick and choose your emotions how do you someone who is you know advanced and opening up to all of it how do you protect yourself from being open to the stuff you you don't want to you don't want to take on that you know ice just had a raid or this happened or that or injustices of the world or whatever is going on that it's just so much yeah and how do you or in you know it's all around us with this one watches the news or not you go to school or the grocery store you're seeing stuff everywhere so how do you open how do you protect your yourself as well yeah that's a great question it's very layered and I've done different things throughout my life and I I'm very empathic very open to energy I think we're all empaths by the way I think every everybody listening to this right now we're all empathic to a certain degree and I think that there can be times when we need to protect ourselves and I have certain protection practices that I do like I'll encase myself in a white light you know I can remember when I was pregnant with my first child you know everybody would come up to me and they would tell me their birth story and I don't know why but like the tough ones to the oh yeah like it was and I I mean I firmly believe that women you know can hold space for other women I love women circles I run women circles and I think it can be so healing for women to open up about all all kinds of things including their traumatic birth stories when I was pregnant though I was like I don't want to take on this energy yeah you know I want to go through this process on my own terms with my own expectations and so I have the habit of any woman who approached me I would just immediately like put a white light around myself and then visualize it just visualize it just visualize it and then I got really good and I've always been very hard very challenged by uncomfortable conversations but I got really good at setting boundaries and just saying you know thank you for sharing this with me I'm not in the position to hear this right now I'd love for you to come back to me you know after I have this baby and we can share our birth stories together and so for me saying something like that is excruciatingly heart and so really learning to say and state boundaries in a way that respected myself and the other person preserve the relationship and also with that white light around me so there's practices that I think we can do and you know some of it might be I say this is all the practices like the white light some of its placebo like I'm a researcher at heart and it's like the placebo effect is the greatest miracle in research in my opinion that you just like take this pill that is a sugar and you can get well and so maybe the white light is actually really working maybe it's just that you have energetically or mentally said to yourself I am going to protect myself from this person somehow I'm going to put a shield up right now I will say now that I am older I do a lot of clearing practices so I don't prevent the energy from coming in instead I have practices at night that I use that will help clear my energy and so I might say to myself wow I'm feeling this thing right now is it mine or is it somebody else's and a lot of us half the time it'll be somebody else's you might not even know you might just have an encounter with somebody at the grocery store who's in a bad mood and you pick up that that mood from them and then all of a sudden you're like wow why am I so angry is this mine or is this somebody else's wow this isn't mine I'm gonna let it go I'm gonna put it down how do you what are your clearing practices that you do typically well for my clearing practices sometimes I'll just take like I'll just think about my third eye and I'll think about some emotion that's with me that's not mine and it's kind of like like clearing the fog right I learned this from a spiritual teacher and you just clear the fog and you just clear it off I mean I'll also use like dried herbs like sage or palo santo I also like just standing in the shower and just like again visualizing kind of light with that water like clearing the fog and then I'll just take it off jumping the ocean I live near the ocean so if I feel really like I can't get an energy off of me I go jump in the ocean love doing that also great for your crystals for people who have crystals and want to cleanse them just put them in the ocean so there's different like clearing practices that I use and a lot of it just starts with is this mine or is this somebody else's mm-hmm mm-hmm you talk about your crystals in your book a lot and for clear all of them by the way do you can you put them out in the moonlight and they clear do they take on energy how do you know all of this they they take on energy and sometimes you can actually feel it like when you hold a crystal you'll feel it like vibrating like it'll almost feel like it's shaking and you're like oh that one that one needs to clear and so you can put it in the moonlight you can put it in the ocean there's certain crystals that never need to be cleared citrine and kyanite never need to be cleared so that's why citrine is like an amazing crystal because you just I've citrine all over my house how do people know it doesn't need to be cleared is it like measured with frequency or how does that work I think yeah it's like measured again like I just feel it and I think people have just worked with these crystals for so long that like citrine you'll never feel citrine in your hand wanting to jump out of it mm-hmm and so you know that's these are ancient practices that people have just like observed these stones just like astrology they should observe the stars for eons and they come up with this is it the ones that absorb things that then need to be cleared or do they can they all absorb things or do some just admit I think they all absorb things and the citrine like just clears it goes in and out of it out yeah yeah and that's what you want to be like like when you're like always tell this to healers like healers they want to take on people's energy they just want to take it on and then know how to should roll off of them like water off a duck you know the energy mm-hmm because that helps that's what makes great healers amazing is that they can take on people's energy and they can feel that person's going through and they know exactly what they need to be healed mm-hmm and so that's why I love citrine citrine does that mm-hmm have you always been into well let me back up for a minute because I want to ask you some of the basics some of the 101 stuff for people who were new to it or need a refresher to it so can you share your favorite your favorite spiritual practices and healing practices and including for anyone listening at home why astrology what astrology does and why you believe in its power and also

And so you know and this is has nothing to do with astrology. You can be into astrology not under astrology to meditate and you just need even five minutes counts. It's like putting pennies in a jar five minutes a day and you're just collecting that and then you get to regulate your nervous system and from there it's like you can figure anything out. Right so I want to say to you in your book one of the things I love when you guys get spirit daughter home and you and you start to read it when we go through your journey of the things you go through what I love is you'll incorporate in your journey you'll explain to us when this happened and this was like you know what hit the fan and this and then I'm now box breathing and you explain you explain your meditation practices and and and and the impact of them through your journey and also how you're handling things and involving into the person you are today. So I just want to share that too that I love that you sort of bring us into real life situations and how you apply these tools. Yeah, keep going. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. And people have asked me that about spirit daughter like is it a book on astrology? I'm like it's anything more of a book on meditation and how to do it and how to apply it in some really crazy situations that I applied it in and used it to keep myself sane centered calm and with my emotions. I went through a very emotional time and I could have just ejected you know I could have just ran and escaped and done all the things we do to escape from our emotions and instead I sat I breathed with it all and that really helped me ultimately become who I am. And so meditation everyone just meditate and then you know towards the end of the book I talk about how I really wanted to start committing to my life again. I always had one foot in one foot out and so there was a time in my life I was couch surfing. I didn't want to sign a lease. I was really protecting myself or I thought I was protecting myself and I realized that I was actually abandoning myself. I was abandoning who I was and what I really needed to buy shying away from commitments of any kind. And so you know I went from somebody who didn't want to commit to anything to you know building spirit daughter and I did that through harnessing the lunar cycles and so I started working with the new moon so the lunar cycle is the cycle that we watch the moon go through every month. So new to first quarter or half moon to full moon to last quarter another half moon back to new and so it's a 29 and a half day cycle. It happens every month so you can count on it to set your watch by it. I think some watches actually have it in there built in you know for the lunar cycle and so I started saying OK on the new moon I'm going to set some intentions. I'm going to see my future. I'm going to let myself dream because I was so in the moment and in the moment is great. We want to be present with ourselves. We want to live in the moment but I was like couldn't think about anything other than getting through that day. And so I wanted to give myself permission to dream and have a future and say OK what do I want my life to be. Do I want kids do I want that house of the picket fence. Do I want another partner. My first divorce was so traumatic. Do I want to get married again. And so the new moons gave me that permission to set intentions and to dream and then every new moon I check back in with myself so once a month it was like accountability partner and I would say OK do I still want this dream. Do I still want to put attention towards the stream because ultimately our attention is what manifests everything and it's like you were talking about everything's trying to distract us and we're scrolling and this and that and we're giving our attention away when we put our attention towards our dreams we can manifest them and for me the new moon was my guide in that the lunar cycles helped me become accountable to myself and helped me dream and helped me return to myself each month and say OK what what is it that I really want. What vision do I want to put my attention towards now. And you know if you just needed a marker someone could do the first of the month the last of the month. So what is it that's special about lunar cycles. Why should someone listening care about them. Well the new moon is when the sun and the moon are together in the sky so they're the exact degree in a certain sign. And so they'll be that's why we have like the new moon in Aries the new moon in Taurus the new moon is always in the sign of the astrological season. So most of us know the astrological season like if it's Aries season Taurus season Gemini season and the babies who are born during that time become that Sun sign. And so if a baby is born during Aries season it's an Aries Sun sign and that's where a lot of people kind of stop and they're like oh you know that's what the horoscopes were built off of is the season and the Sun sign. So the new moon happens when the sun and the moon are together in the sky in that sign right of the season. And so if it's Aries season we have the Aries new moon. And so this creates this dark moon. We don't see the moon right. It's completely dark. And so the ancients when they started practicing with the new moon it was completely dark right. There was before lights. So think about what it will look like outside right with no artificial light on a new moon. It would be pitch dark except for the stars. And so that was said to be the time to go within to stay in right you wouldn't go out and party right. You wouldn't gather with your your friends your hunter gather friends on a new moon because it was so dark. Maybe you do some stargazing but you know so you go within you stay inside and then you can hear your intuition more because you don't have distractions because you don't have things going on your inside your maybe alone maybe with your family and you can go inward to a deeper level. And so on a new moon it said that we have the capacity to go inward that the veil between the conscious and the unconscious drops and then we can really hear our intuition. We're not distracted by light or gatherings or anything else and then we can decide or at least start to have a vision of what it is we really really want from deep within. And then when it comes to astrology you know there's a lot of people that go how can one 12th of the population have this exact horoscope and all be the same. And what do you say to someone who who thinks that about the power of astrology and what it can do for you what it can do for you right now listening. Yeah. Well I will say the horoscopes I don't necessarily read a lot of horoscopes. They're based on your sun sign and we have a natal chart. So our natal chart is a picture of the sky when we were born. So not just where the sun is horoscopes are based usually on your sun sign. So where the sun is where the moon is the rising sign those are your big three right. So most people when they first get in astrology they learn their big three the sign that was rising on the horizon when they were born or the moon was the sun and then we also have a Venus sign a Mars sign a Mercury sign. We have lunar nodes. So it's really complex. It's a very complex picture and you don't have to know every part but you just want to know that it's a complex picture of the energy of the universe when you were born. And so when we're born and we have our first breath we take in that energy of the universe and that becomes part of who we are. I say part because I always believe in free will no matter what. So I'm not like a doomsday or astrologer. I'm not like, oh, you're this sign. You have to be like this kind of thing. I believe we have free will. I like to look at the chart and why I think it is beneficial for anybody as a framework of evolution. So you can look at that and you can say like I said in the beginning I'm a Leo son Leo sons are here on this lifetime to embrace and understand vulnerability. So it's not that I know everything about Leo's already. It's not that I come into this world having mastered the energy or the themes of that sign. I can say, oh, I'm a Leo and I have this opportunity to reach my potential through a very vulnerable visible right. Leo's are like one of the most visible of the astrological signs, you know, situation. And so I'm going to go for it. I'm going to say, all right, I'm going to believe in astrology that this is part of my evolution part of my growth and I'm going to embrace this vulnerability and lean on my Leo side. So I like to look at our astrology or a needle chart as a pathway for evolution for a lifetime. You do a needle chart. Is it down to like is your is every person's individual needle chart down to the day, the year, the location, the time, like the exact time of day down to the minute they were born and they would have theirs. And so and so, you know, if if I was researching this earlier and saw like on average like 260 people are born every minute in the world. So would that mean that 260 people have that energy of that exact minute of that exact minute that they're taking on and then they combine that with genetics plus free will and it sort of becomes who they are. For to a certain degree, because they're going to be in a different location and so dependent on which hemisphere in your location. That's going to change your rising sign, which your rising sign starts your entire chart. So they might all have the same Sun sign, Moon sign, Venus sign, all the planets, same lunar nodes, but they might exist in different houses. And so your chart, if you've ever seen a chart, it looks like a pie and there's 12 slices of the pie and those are your houses. Those are areas of your life. So your chart has signs. It has planets replacements and it has houses. And so all those 260 people would have the same planets that in the same signs, they might be in different houses depending on their location. So no two people are ever the same. Well, if they're born in the same location, they would be at the same minute, the same minute. Yeah, they'd have to be like same hospital. Yes, or like same time zone, same time zone. Yeah. Not even same time zone, same hemisphere and time zone. Yeah. So like everybody born in this moment in California right now would have the same chart. Same chart. Can people learn more about natalcharts at spiritdatter.com also? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, it's fascinating. With you and your own journey, I've had people on the show all different beliefs, all different faiths, no faith, like all different political beliefs, vote different, love different. I love it all. That's great. I love that. I really believe this Jill. I feel like, I feel like if we don't have, you know, open conversations of people who vote different than us and believe different, even if we think they are nuts, like I have family, I'm like, what in the world? How could you possibly vote that? I just, you know, but I feel like if we don't have conversations of people that have all different beliefs, like how can we ever help heal humanity through love? Like, so I just, I love, so I'm fascinated also to learn in your journey, what you share. You go so deep in the book. Um, I said to Jill, right when we were walking in here, I said, uh, I'm gonna let you decide how much you share because your book, I mean, you go, I was shocked how I love it. I love it because, you know, even for, whether someone's in your community right now has followed your work for a long time, loves you already, or they're new to meeting you today, they're going to get to know you. They're going to get to know you at a whole other level. But in your journey, I'm curious, you know, cause obviously millions of people right now look to you for inspiration for, for their, on their own journey toward, you know, spirituality or enlightenment or just happiness and joy and freedom and power and, and expansiveness and all of those things. Um, in your own journey, what role right now, if any, does faith or belief in God play? Like how do you define God? That's a good question. So I talked about in the book that I did grow up Catholic and I had a lot of questions about the church and God. And I think I even say in one line, like a lot of people find answers and even comfort and religion. I found nothing but questions that went unanswered. And so I would not say that I am a Catholic and I told my mother when I was 12 that I was not Catholic and she needed to get me out of Catholic school and she, she listened. Now I will say my grandmother was very, very religious and my entire life. And she really taught me a lot of ways and she would always say, like, you know, you may not know why things are happening and you just need to trust. And you, you know, everything has a meaning. Everything has a higher purpose and you just have to trust that. And that came from her faith. And for me, I still believe those, those pieces and I, it's not that I don't believe in God. I just think about it differently. I think about God more as energy and the universe and the universe that we're all held within. And it's not somebody or something that I'm necessarily praying to. It's just an energy that holds everything. And I even define and talk about the Cosshack field, which is the energetic matrix and spirituality. And to me, that feels more like a God like figure than traditional God by religion. With the Cosshack records and all of that with that you talk about in your book like keeping records of everyone's soul and things like this. Do you believe that is real? And can you explain what that is? I do. I do believe that is real. The Cosshack field is a matrix of energy that holds everything. Right. So we, we know we're, we're energetic beings. I mean, when we really zoom out and think about it, we're like, we're energy sitting here on this planet. That's energy that's spinning around a sun. That's energy that's flying through a solar system that's made of other planets and it's all energy at the, and this isn't like energy from like a woo woo or even a spiritual. I mean, it's energy from physics. Like this is raw energy at the core of, of who we are, of our actual physical matter is energy. And so, you know, when we think about energy and energy connecting, it creates a field, creates an energetic field and you can ask an electrician this and they'll define it for you. You know, electricians are always working with energetic fields. And so again, it's like kind of taking the spirituality almost out of it and bringing it down to like matter and particles. Right. So anything that is energetic is going to create an energetic field. And then when you have all of these beings creating an energetic field in this universe with all these planets, it's like, it's all connected. And so it creates this web of energy. And so all the fields are connected at some point. And that in essence is what the Akashic field is and it holds the history of all the energy that is connected. And so that's where the records come in. Because energy cannot be destroyed. It just changes form. And so we're still working with the energy that originally, you know, created came from the Big Bang. And then it all, it just evolved into different forms and different forms and different forms, but that energy and quantum physics is, you know, proving this stays connected throughout time and space forever. And so that's what creates the Akashic field and the Akashic records. Do you think our soul goes back into energy and then what do you think happens from there? I do. I do think that we're energetic beings and our soul goes back when we take another form. And so in a lot of ways, I do believe in traditional reincarnation in that, in an energetic sense and that we would be human form again, or it could be any other form, whatever our soul needs. Like I believe we, our soul is really the essence is the energy that is part of our body that is on an evolution this lifetime. And so everything that we attract, we bring in our astrology, why we chose to be born at a certain time and date is, is all about our energy evolving and what it needs and wants for its energetic evolution, every mistake, every challenge, everything. And who or what do you think created all of that energy? I wish I knew. Yeah. Yeah. So I mean, that's, that's the big question, right? That's the question that religions been trying to answer forever. Yeah. Yeah. With, you know, it's interesting with, uh, when it comes to our own knowing or our own intuition, I was curious about, I was thinking about this, uh, reading your book as well. You know, if let's say, let's say you have a knowing that about the Akashic field and you have a knowing that feels like that's true. And let's say I have this knowing that God is real in a traditional Christian sense, let's say. Does that mean one of our knowings is wrong? Yeah. If we both have that knowing. No. Say more. Yeah. I don't think it's wrong. I think that we all have different perspectives and that's how I look at everything. So even when we look at all the different religions, even when we look at all the different spiritual modalities. So when we look at everything from acupuncture to Ayurvedic medicine, these lenses that we're looking at humans through every religion, it's all just a different lens. Right. So it's like we're all, we're all correct. Like I think everything, there's a grain of truth in everything and it's just how we're all trying to explain and understand human consciousness. Why we're here. What we're doing. We're all trying to answer this, these same existential questions through a different lens and I don't think anything is wrong. I don't think anything is a hundred percent right either. When people, do you feel that more and more people are drawn or come to you? Mm hmm. Because they're looking for those kind of answers and like they're looking for fulfillment or they're looking for a more evolved sense of meaning. Mm hmm. Yeah. I think they are. I mean, I think people find astrology, they find spirituality because they are looking for meaning in their lives. They are looking for, um, you know, answers to these existential questions that I started asking when I was 12 years old. You know, we all want to know like, why are we here? What are we doing? What am I supposed to be doing with my life? And I think a lot of people look to astrology for those answers because it can give them a framework. It can give them some direction. Maybe they feel lost and they can say, Oh, I'm an Aries son. Aries are bold and courageous. They like to initiate things. I'm a starter. Perhaps I should find a career where I could use those things. It gives them a jumping off point in a lot of ways to experiment and try and figure out who they are. Mm hmm. Right now. We are in, you know, 2026. We are in the newer part of the new year and so many people are excited about the year of the fire horse. Yeah. And can you share for someone listening like what does it mean? You've gone in on your, on your, your Instagram too about different layers of it and different parts of it. What do you say? What, what should we know about the year of the fire horse and what this means for us? The year of the fire. Everybody is so excited about the year of the fires. I've never seen people more excited about any other. I, our joke and spirit daughter is next year is the year of the fire goats or like, I wonder how people are going to like that one. Is it really the fire goat? Okay. So yeah, the fire horse, you know, it's a, it's a year of new beginnings this year. It's a universal one year and we're in Aries season. So this is why I chose March 24th to launch the book in Aries season in a universal one year in the year of the fire horse. And so the fire horse just gives us that momentum, but you know, everybody's been talking about like charging forward and going for it. And we just left the year of the snake, which was all about introspection and shedding and letting go of things. And the fire horse is like, okay, now you're ready. And so I think that really resonated with a lot of people where they felt like last year, which was a nine year as well, which nine is all about completion in numerology. And so I think they really felt like they completed a cycle last year. They shed something. They shed a layer and this is the year for a rebirth. And so that fire horse is just like, okay, let's move forward. Let's move forward though with an open heart. And that was one of the things I was really sharing on my Instagram is like horses are amazing beings. Right. They, they just, they have this openness. Like, I don't know if you've done any or heard of like equine therapy where, you know, they have people have these amazing breakthroughs, you know, just with these horses, merging energy with these horses. It's said that their heart has a field and energetic field five times larger than humans. And so they're just amazing beings. So I think that's really important to remember is yes, charge forward. Yes, go after your dreams. Yes, use that momentum, that fire to push you forward and do it with an open heart. Hmm. That's so beautiful. You know, many years ago when I was working in television news as anchor and reporter, I was out doing a story for multiple days at this. It was a horse rescue ranch and they paired rescued horses that have gone through abuse or rescued and they paired them with kids that had gone through abuse. A lot of kids that wouldn't speak to adults about anything and I'll never forget Jill. Like literally I was maybe a hundred yards away and I was filming the, you know, where they would introduce the kids to horses and they would kind of do their own thing and they just would let them be and they'd pair one kid with a horse and I'll never forget. Like I just remember just sobbing like just sobbing watching. There was a girl who had gone through horrific things and she was a young teen and she'd never spoken to an adult about it. She was just telling everything to a horse and then she would just lay on the horse and the horse would lay down in the field and she'd like put her head on the, on the horse and they would just like, and I just remember watching it and for me, it was one of the first times in my life. I felt like I ever felt God's presence. I was just like, well, I just remember just like sobbing. But yes, to your point, horses are magnificent. Yes. Magnificent. Yes. And that's the part I want everybody to really remember this year is that cause so many people are just like, charge forward, go, go, go. And it's like, no, remember that softness that feminine side. I feel like the masculine side is getting really thrown about, especially on Instagram, which is that like, go, go, go. And there's a softness to these horses and an openness and just this amazingness to them. Well, you know, when we talk about, you talk about layers of awakening. Can you talk about the layers? Yeah. Of awakening. Yes. So it all started. So many texts to me right before I started writing this book and they were like, can you explain spiritual awakening to me? And I was like, well, that's a book. And so I think a lot of people think of spiritual awakening as this like a moment of clarity where you're just all of a sudden you're enlightened, you know who you are, you know what to do. You're like, ah, the clouds part, you know, the, everybody sings. And really what I found in my journey was that it was layers of awakening and a lot of it was not fun, not perfect, not angelic in any way. It was, you know, awakening to pain, awakening to where I needed to forgive others, where I need to forgive myself, awakening to patterns that I held situations that I was choosing over and over again to reinforce old patterns, old limiting beliefs, right? We choose our limiting beliefs until we become aware of them. And so, you know, awakening is steps and it's not just about this like perfect moment that happens because you read an inspirational quote. I love it when people read my quotes and write them and have them on their post-it notes around their homes and awakening comes through a lot more than just that. Yeah. I think that's really important to call out. One of the, one of the layers you talk about in your book that I think a lot of people are going to relate to is when you say that we unconsciously recreate the emotional patterns we grew up with, even when they're hurting us. Can you share a little bit about that? Cause I did that. I dated that many times, but yeah. Yeah. I think we all dated that. I married that first marriage. I always had to say that cause my second marriage is wonderful and totally different. But yes. So I grew up in a, in a household that, you know, the emotional temperature was anxiety, you know, it was just there. And so I, in a lot of ways was addicted to anxiety and because it was normal. It was comfortable. It was comfortable. Yeah. Yeah. And so our brains are trained to choose the familiar. It's how we evolved. The familiar equals safe to our brains. So our brains aren't like, oh, let's have you build this amazing career and like become your most enlightened self. Our brains are like, let's just keep you safe. Let's just get you to the next day. Like in the most primal point. And so we will choose the known over the unknown until we recognize the pattern and become aware of it and awaken to it and break that pattern because the comfort, our comfort zones feel safe. Even, even if they're not safe, like I was in a relationship that was definitely not safe, but I kept choosing it over and over again because it felt normal. It felt like a comfort zone. It felt like, oh, this relationship is giving me anxiety. Anxiety is normal to me. This is my baseline. This is what feels comfortable. And so I was choosing it over and over again. And I think that's really, really powerful to understand that we choose these patterns, we choose these patterns because they're comfort, not because we want to punish ourselves or because we're terrible people. Right. We choose them because our brains are wired to choose the familiar. And we don't even realize we're doing it. Right. Like sometimes we're like, why do I keep having a friend that just doesn't show up for me the way I show up for them? Why can't I make good friends as an adult? Or why do I keep dating people that just mistreat me? Or, and we think it's like bad luck or something like that. But it's like when you really start to understand this and you do such a good job talking about so many of these things in spirit daughter, it's like, oh, wait, that's what's comfortable to me. And I'm probably subconsciously thinking that's what I'm worthy ever. That's what I'm comfortable around or whatever it might be. So you say we're biologically set up to forget our own amazingness. So can you explain that? And also, you know, from the person listening right now who's like, huh, have I even thought about my own amazingness? Do I even think I have amazingness at all? Can you, can you share about this? This is so inspiring. Yeah. Well, there's so many parts of us in our biology that are absolutely amazing. Like the fact that we're just breathing right now without thinking about it is amazing. Like there's so many little things. The fact that we have this brain that can set up these patterns, we can change. We can become conscious of it. We can have discussions about so many different things. Like who else can, what other species can sit here and have a discussion about consciousness and God and religion? Like that alone is amazing. And then we have this amazing brain that is set up to filter out so much. And so I think that's the piece that a lot of people don't understand is there's so much happening around us. There's so much stimuli happening. There's lights. There's, there's a whole energy happening and this isn't like energy. Woo, woo, spiritual. You know, there's just tons, tons happening. Our brain has evolved to filter most of it out. Most of the information around you, you filter out because it literally would like make your brain explode if you took it all in. And so that's what I meant by we're biologically set up to filter out our amazingness because we're biologically set up to focus on threats, to focus on survival, to say, okay, we're going to scan a room for threats when we could scan a room for opportunities. And so when we set intentions, we're programming our brain. Our brain has this amazing filter on it called the Reticular Activating System or RAS. And so this filter, you know, we can program it. And so it's default mode is set to filter in things for survival. So it's going to look for threats. It's kind of like a bouncer at a club where it's like, Oh, you look okay. You don't look okay. I'm going to let you in. You need to stay out your shady, you know, that's its default mode, but we can actually change it. And that's part of what makes us so amazing is we can say, Hey, filter, why don't you expand? We're safe. I'm going to use meditation to regulate my nervous system. Everything's safe. You can expand. Stop scanning for threats, scan for opportunities for this vision. I want to create. I have this vision of my life. I want to manifest it. I'm going to sit and rehearse it in my mind. So it feels familiar when it happens because your brain won't know the difference between what you envision and reality. And so when we visualize things over and over again, when they start to manifest and happen in reality, our brain goes, Oh, that's safe. I know that that is now familiar. And then we start that RIS expands and we can start scanning the environment for opportunities to actually manifest that vision in reality. That is so powerful. What you just said, I want to make sure you guys don't miss what Jill just said, because the way we were talking about how, Oh, we're familiar with someone treating us horrible, which is why we keep dating the same dude over and over, whatever it is, the same way, because that's familiar. That's what's comfortable. So powerful. What you just said, you said the things you want, the things you, when you visualize them over and over, you imagine them, you like that starts to also become familiar or comfortable in your brain, which then makes sense why people say visualization helps with manifestation of things. I remember sitting in the QVC parking lot after being told no for years and literally being like on the verge of bankruptcy for so long, trying to keep our company alive and then getting one big shot on QVC. And I sat in that parking lot the entire week beforehand. I imagined the sold out sign coming up across the screen. I imagined all these things like the way I imagined like an Olympic athlete when like, you know, envision landing a triple axle or whatever it is. And, uh, and it's interesting that I've, I've never thought of it this way that till you just said that, that it becomes then familiar to us, which is part of the power of visualization. I've never thought of it that way before. I've always believed it worked, but it's starting to make so much more sense. The way you explained it, which is, which is beautiful. So, okay. Spirit daughter is out now this much anticipated book. Millions of people turned to Jill Wintersteen spirit daughter, uh, for inspiration for their own journey of spiritual awakening and enlightenment and joy and their best life. And so, uh, just to ask you for the person at home who's like, huh, I think I might pick that book up. What, what would you tell them they should get ready for and can expect when they get spirit daughter home? I think that they should expect to get a page turner of a self-help book. Hmm. Cause that's how it's been told to me. The memoir part is quite a page turner where you want to know what happens and it is the messy, chaotic, traumatic and a lot of ways to me, uh, part of my journey that I feel is very inspirational. And I want people to read this book and say, Oh, wow. I got to the end and now I'm starting to figure out who I am. And if Jill went through all of that and became who she is, I can also make my dream a reality. I can manifest my dream. And so I wanted to really empower people.
