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 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.”

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 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.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 120. Sometimes, whether slowly or all at once, you realize that your life is not and will never be what you thought it would be. Even if it is more beautiful than you thought possible, even if you are more fulfilled than you could have imagined, even if you wouldn’t take that first dream life back for all the money in the world, you eventually need to grieve the life you fought so hard for… the life you’ll never have and maybe never had.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 119. I remember when Brian and I moved to Nashville after our year of traveling the country in an Airstream, and I was convinced that putting down new roots in a new city would be the final step in our healing journey. Both individually and together. I thought Brian would finally be able to meet new friends, get excited about getting a job, we could go on dates to places we've never been before, and enjoy the culture of a big city. There was nothing I wouldn’t do to help us move forward. I just didn’t realize at the time that the one thing I couldn’t do was move Brian forward with me. And I tried.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 118. In order for something to grow, it first has to be pruned. If you’ve ever lived in the south, you’ve seen Crepe Myrtle trees surrounding houses and lining neighborhood streets in cities all over the place. There is nothing more jarring than seeing a Crepe Myrtle in springtime. They prune back those trees so much it’s hard to believe they’ll ever produce growth again. And yet every year, they come back bigger and more beautiful than ever before. And if they hadn’t been pruned, they’d be weak, scrawny, and more susceptible to damage.  The same is true with us.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 116. Energy can get locked (and unlocked) in our bodies, and the physical places where this tends to happen relates to where chakras are located. If this feels scary, remember that we all do this all the time, just with more comfortable language. When something sad happens, you might say that your heart is broken, even though that the brain and nervous system is in charge of pain perception, not the heart.
