Things are changing around here…
The world, yes. And also my life, and my newsletter.
I’ve been a freelance writer for 15 years — with a few full-time editorial and communication specialists jobs and part-time gigs in between.
We all know the media landscape is shifting — and has been for the last five years. As it shifts, so has my place within it. I am being asked to pivot — not just professionally, but personally/emotionally/spiritually.
Change is scary. I’m a Capricorn Sun (with a Capricorn stellium) with a Taurus Moon…meaning, I not only like stability…I need it to feel safe. Or at least…I think I do, and I think I’m in the midst of a fucking huge undoing.
Something changed drastically at the start of the summer last year (in which I wrote about it for my Love Yourself a Little More series). I was being asked not to look and find security from external things (money, job, habits, and routines because those certainly flew out of the freaking window) but from within.
Who I am without all that stuff to tell me that it’s going to be okay? How can I bring/embody peace, calm, confidence, and trust — in other words, security — without knowing that it’s all going to work out? Work out to what, exactly? That’s a good question. I guess…security. Safety. Trust.
Six months later, and I’m still struggling with my sense of security — both inside and outside of myself. I am being asked to seismically shift in ways I’ve never experienced before. In ways that I don’t even have the answers for…
Except, of course, when I go within and know that I do have the answers. If I trust myself more. If I remain steadfast in the face of the unknown — the scary shit — and lean on my faith in myself — in my creativity, ambition, passion, and, yes, spiritual beliefs. When I do this, I can trust that all of this change can be for the good…that I am already safe when I believe that I am.
Maybe that’s also what the Hierophant card means.
Leaning on faith. Trusting we have all that we need, right now in this moment, to rise above the shit storm and create our own happy ending.
I’m here for that.
So, anyway, back to the newsletter. I’m thinking of adding a few new things to it, and I am curious what you would like to hear from me. Bear in mind that not only am I a writer and podcaster, but I’m also the author of two astrology books, Friendship Signs & Joy in The Stars, as well as an intuitive reiki healer.
And in the spirit of pivoting, I am also going to provide some ways that you can work with me via coaching or workshops. Details to be determined. I’d love to hear your thoughts and what you might be interested in how I can best serve you.
If you’d like something else to suggest, feel free to leave a comment below.
As always, thanks for being here! And I look forward to our journey together in this crazy, wild 2025!
Thanks for being here!
Love, Brie xoxo
