What if your birth chart wasn't just a personality profile — but the story your soul wrote before this lifetime began? This week, Bethany sits down with Julianne Guinasso, licensed marriage and family therapist, grief specialist, and evolutionary astrologer, to explore exactly that.

Julianne reads charts as a map of your soul's journey — weaving intuition with a trauma-informed lens to honor the full, interconnected picture of who you are and why you're here. In this conversation, they get into what evolutionary astrology actually is, how it differs from traditional astrology, and what it means to read your chart as a record of past lives and soul contracts.

They also have a beautiful, grounding conversation about grief — not just the kind tied to loss, but the quieter grief so many of us carry: identity shifts, life transitions, and the gap between the life we imagined and the one we're living.

If you've ever felt like your chart was trying to tell you something deeper, this one's for you.

Topics covered:

• What evolutionary astrology is and how it works
• Reading your birth chart as a soul map
• Past lives, guides, and what you came here to remember
• The intersection of therapy and astrology
• Everyday grief: identity shifts, life changes & unmet expectations
• A trauma-informed, non-bypassing approach to healing

What if your birth chart could transform the way you get dressed? This week we're joined by author, astrologer, cosmic stylist, and tarot creator Leah Vanderveldt — founder of the Cosmic Style Substack and podcast and author of Seasonal Power Tarot and Magical Self-Care for Everyday Life. Leah takes us on her journey from working at Vogue to becoming a leading voice at the intersection of astrology and personal style, and breaks down how your natal chart is actually a map for your most authentic self-expression. We get into what your rising sign, Venus sign, and sun sign say about your wardrobe, why so many of us suppress key parts of our chart (and how it shows up in how we dress), and how to stop saving your favorite pieces for special occasions. Plus, Leah does live cosmic style readings for both of us — and the accuracy is unreal. If you've ever felt disconnected from your style or like you're dressing for who you used to be, this episode is for you.

In this episode:

• How Leah went from Vogue to astrologer and cosmic stylist
• Using your big three to unlock your personal style
• Why your sun sign relationship is more complicated than you think
• How annual perfections and Venus returns influence your style era
• Tips for dressing as a busy mom without losing your identity
• Leah's Cosmic Shift offering — astrological email coaching

Friendship is one of the most underrated wellness tools we have — and we're kicking off Gemini season with one of our favorite topics to dig into. In this episode, we're diving into the energetics of friendship: how your moon sign shapes emotional safety and bonding, how Mercury signs influence your communication style and compatibility, and how your rising sign affects the first impression you give off in relationships.

We also talk about why adult friendships are complicated (hello, motherhood, healing seasons, and burnout), how friendships naturally evolve and sometimes fade, the difference between expansion friendships and maintenance friendships, and why you were never meant to get all your needs met by one person.

This one's for anyone navigating new seasons of friendship, craving more depth in their connections, or just trying to understand why some people just get you and others don't.

Coaching prompt: What relationships in my life feel like expansion, and which ones feel like maintenance?

Mantra: I welcome friendships rooted in reciprocity, truth, and mutual evolution.

We spend so much time in growth mode — learning, optimizing, doing the work. But what if some of what we picked up along the way is actually what's been holding us back?

In this episode, Jena and Bethany get personal about the beliefs they're actively unlearning: that rest has to be earned, that your value comes from productivity, that healing is something to be optimized, and that playing small keeps the peace. They also dig into what it really means to lead with love over fear, trust your intuition without intellectualizing it, and let healing be something you live rather than something you perform.

This one is honest, a little vulnerable, and full of moments you'll want to screenshot and send to a friend.

Topics covered:

• Unlearning hustle culture and the "rest must be earned" mindset
• Why healing becomes another form of self-improvement pressure — and how to break the cycle
• Playing small to make others comfortable
• Making decisions from fear vs. love
• Trusting your intuition without needing to intellectualize it
• Shadow work, throat chakra healing, and emotional processing
• Oracle card pull: New Life by Colette Baron-Reid
• Coaching prompt: What version of yourself are you quietly outgrowing?
• Mantra: I release the version of success that disconnects me from myself

In this episode of Groovy Geminis, we’re diving into astrology for business — and how your business may have its own energetic blueprint.

We start with a little life catch-up, sharing how getting out, being in community, and having open, honest conversations completely filled our cups — and sparked this entire conversation.

From there, we explore what it actually looks like to apply astrology to your business, including:

• What a business birth chart is and how to find yours
• The 3 key placements to focus on (Sun, Rising, Midheaven)
• How to understand your business’s purpose, brand, and visibility
• Aligning your offers, marketing, and client experience
• Using astrology to guide launch timing and decision-making

We also break down both of our businesses in real time — highlighting how Bethany’s work supports the “why” (intuition, energy, deeper understanding), while Jena’s work supports the “how” (structure, habits, and taking action).

If you’re building something of your own — or craving a more aligned, intuitive approach to growth — this episode offers a fresh, grounded perspective on blending strategy with energetics.

In this episode, we sit down with Christian Rasmussen, founder of Amentara, to explore the transformative power of Amanita muscaria and plant-based healing.

Christian shares his personal journey from addiction to healing, including his experience with benzodiazepine withdrawal and how discovering Amanita muscaria became a turning point in his recovery. We talk about how this unique mushroom interacts with the nervous system, particularly the GABA pathway, and how it may support anxiety, sleep, and overall mental well-being.

We also explore microdosing vs. higher doses, what these experiences actually feel like, and why intention and self-awareness are key when working with plant medicine.

This conversation blends science, spirituality, and curiosity—touching on transformation, consciousness, and what it means to create more space in your thoughts, emotions, and daily life.

In this episode, we cover:

• Amanita muscaria benefits & effects
• Microdosing vs. higher doses
• Addiction recovery & nervous system support
• Anxiety, sleep, and stress relief
• Intention setting & self-awareness in plant medicine

In this episode of Groovy Geminis, we’re talking about something that completely changed the way we think about routines, productivity, and wellness: your energetic operating system.

If you’ve ever tried to follow someone else’s routine — waking up at 5am, meditating, journaling, green juice, strict schedules — and it just doesn’t stick (or makes you feel worse), this episode is for you.

We’re breaking down how your Moon sign, Mars sign, Rising sign, and Sun sign influence:

• How you regulate your nervous system
• How you take action
• How you process emotions
• What kind of routines actually work for you

We also walk through the four elements — Fire, Earth, Air, and Water — and explain how each element regulates differently, takes action differently, and needs different types of structure, movement, and emotional processing.

Because the truth is:
You’re not inconsistent. You might just be following a blueprint that was never meant for you.

This episode will help you understand your energy, build routines that actually support your nervous system, and start creating a life that works with you instead of against you.
