Following the Stars Part One: Truth in an Unexpected Place 102
Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 102
If you follow me on social media, then you know I pushed pause on the business for a little bit while I was going through some personal growth and some healing. It was a journey that I had to dive right into and do alone. You can read more about that in my written series, Uncovering Divine Femininity. That series really explains what the pause over the past few years was all about.
As I was finishing launching that series, I thought “I also wrote a series a few months prior called Following the Stars.” I think if you read and hear Following the Stars before Uncovering Divine Femininity, it all makes more sense. I realize not everyone has time to sit and read those long blogs so I thought "what if I recorded them and made them into podcasts?" So that’s what this episode is all about. I will also will be recording the Uncovering Divine Femininity series so be on the lookout for future podcast episodes of those blog posts as well.
Hit play on this podcast episode so we can dive into Following the Stars Part One: Truth in an Unexpected Place. And be on the lookout for part two of the series tomorrow.
Episode 102 Topics:
How My Journey with Astrology Started
Discussing Unexpected Challenges, Changes, and Growth
Unlearning everything I had been told about sex

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 130. Reparenting your inner child is one of the most powerful tools for healing we have in our toolbox. What do I mean by “reparenting?” What do I mean by “inner child?” Some of you may be familiar with these ideas, and some of you maybe not so much.
In simple terms, your inner child is the part of your psyche that is vulnerable, needy, sensitive, and also joyful, exuberant, and honest. Most of us shove aside our childlike tendencies in adolescence to become “mature adults,” only to later realize that connecting to our inner child helps us experience the fullness of life to a greater degree.
Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 129.
Throughout this journey, we’ve been working hard on raising our vibrations and being responsible for the energy we give and we surround ourselves with, we’ve worked on living from soul instead of ego, and we’re currently working on removing shame and shedding limiting beliefs. I don’t think we can fully remove shame or shed limiting beliefs without dealing with the magnitude of the word should and totally eliminating it from our vocabulary. So while this Part 5 is not expected, it’s absolutely necessary.
Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 128.
As we close out our chapter on removing shame and shedding limiting beliefs, we’ve gotta talk about triggers and glimmers.
Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 127. How am I still dealing with these same issues, I wondered. I thought I had looked through everything. I had peeled back layers. I had done some major healing. For a year.
And that’s when I woke up to the real cause– and purpose– of these wounded cycles we inflict upon ourselves.
Each of us has some core wounds we internalize in childhood.
Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 126. Shame and limiting beliefs are like two sides of the same coin. Shame tells us that we are bad and wrong, and often, limiting beliefs can tell us that others are bad and wrong.
Let me give you an example during today’s podcast.
Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 125. Like most women throughout history, but even specifically those growing up like I did, in the American south in the last half a century, showing any amount of skin was met with disapproving glares, gossipy whispers, and choruses of “bless her heart.”
Can you relate? Find out in today’s podcast.
Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 124. Today, we’re going to give our bodies the credit they deserve. Because when we learn to honor our souls, the body can be one of the greatest sources of wisdom, working in tandem with our souls to direct us and lead us on the path back to our true selves.
Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 123. Have you ever been going about your day, doing something totally normal like getting groceries, logging into your email, picking your kids up from school, or going on a hike, and something happens that stops you in your tracks… some little coincidence or a moment of deja vu, or a text from a long lost friend you just had a dream about the night before?
I think most of us have.
Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 122. This week, we’re going to talk about what soul freedom looks like.
Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 121. My kids recently lost their great grandfather. It was an open casket. Before the visitation, I told my kids that even though they’d be looking at their great grandfather’s body, his soul was not there. Have you ever noticed that the body never really looks like the person did in life? There are many reasons for this, but the most important one, to me, is that a body isn’t really anything without a soul.
