Following the Stars Part Three: Staying in Comfort or Choosing Growth 104

 
 

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 104

If you have listened to the past couple of podcast episodes, you know back in October 2022 I released a blog series called Following the Stars.  This week, I am sharing that series with you here on Zimmerman Podcast.  This is Following the Stars Part Three:  Staying in Comfort or Choosing Growth.

Hit play on this podcast episode so we can dive into part three, and be on the lookout for part four of the series tomorrow.

Episode 104 Topics:

  • The one part of my natal chart that changed every aspect of my life

  • The meanings behind north node and south node

  • How accessing my north node led me to next steps, closer to my true purpose, the opposite of what I had grown comfortable with for years

The Bible is another tool God gave us, but it isn’t where the story ends. It continues in us and in the world each day. (If this is a topic that interests you as much as it interests me, check out this book. Please buy it. Please read it. It’s a great (and funny!) read: https://rstyle.me/+5b__o3vsyg0rOh9d-3TdIw

By identifying our south nodes, we can become more aware of repeated patterns, and then we can choose when and how to step into those growth areas.

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 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 117. For the first four weeks of The Path Back to You, we focused on energy, digging into what it looks like to raise our vibrations. Now, I bet I can guess what’s happened since you’ve started that journey. Sh*t got hard. Really hard. We have the phrase “growing pains” for a reason.
