Back to Break Free. I'm Kristen Shea and today I am so excited to bring you this episode. I have my friend and personal stylist Jess coming on. And Jess, you are an astrology-led personal stylist. And I'm so excited to have you here. So welcome. Oh my gosh, thank you. I'm so excited to be here. Yes, absolutely. Um, I'm so excited to share you with everyone because, well, for so many reasons. But anybody who knows me knows that one, I'm obsessed with astrology because it absolutely changed my life. And then recently I've been on my own style journey and I started seeking out someone to help me in my own. I mean, it's truly a journey through this identity shift. And I came across your content. Um, and I was just immediately pulled in because as soon as I saw astrologer-led personal stylist, I was like, I'm in, tell me everything.
SPEAKER_01So I'm super excited to have you. Thank you for coming on. Oh my gosh, I'm so excited. I am also like equally as obsessed with astrology. So it's so fun when we get to talk. Like, I love talking to other other people who are also obsessed.
SPEAKER_00Yes. Well, I want to dive in because prior to actually seeking out a stylist, I didn't even really know that there was astrologer-led stylist. Like I had seen TikTok clips here and there where people would be like, dress like your Venus sign or dress like this. But um I think a lot of people may not know exactly what that is or what that looks like. So can you share with everyone just what that means and how that looks in your day-to-day?
SPEAKER_01Yeah. So I mean, I would definitely say that I have come up with my own process with it, but there, you can definitely dress yourself according to your astrology chart. And the most common placements, I would say universally, that you know, astrologers look at when it comes to that are your rising sign and your Venus sign. Rising sign because it's in like the first house, which represents like your identity, your appearance, and then Venus sign because that's like our femininity, it's our magnetism. And so the idea is like, you know, if you're dressing for your Venus sign, you become magnetic. You're you're in that feminine flow state, and opportunities come to you. And so for me personally, um, I had been studying astrology for like three years and practicing it kind of just on the side, just giving um just giving readings and whatnot. And I yeah, I mean, well, maybe I won't get into my origin story right now, but basically, basically, yeah, once I started um using it for astrology, I using it for styling. I combined the Venus and the rising sign, and then intuitively it's also like sometimes there are other, like sometimes the sun sign wants to contribute, sometimes people's moon signs want to be a part of it, but uh traditionally, like across the board, usually astrologers will look to Venus and rising signs.
SPEAKER_00That makes sense. So actually, what you just said was really interesting, and what I definitely experienced when I got my um board from you is when signs want to be a part of it. And so there's obviously some sort of channeling or intuitive aspect to this that you're doing as well, right?
SPEAKER_01Yes, huge. So whenever I do what what's called a style profile, it's one of my offerings. I sit with my clients' higher self, I call them forward very intentionally, I set the space and I sit with their astrology chart as well. And I open myself up as a channel to like receive messages for my clients, um, particularly pertaining to their beauty and what what messages they need to receive right now in order to embody their beauty. And that oftentimes goes beyond just what you're wearing. And that was a message for you, but your Libra moon was uh having a lot. I mean, I was just feeling so much Libra energy, and I was like, Where? Like, I was like, because you're a Pisces rising Virgo Venus in True Sky. And so then I looked back to your chart. Whenever I'm feeling like heavy energy from a zodiac sign when I'm channeling, I'm like, what's going on? If I if if it's not like the Venus and rising sign. And so then I went and I was like, oh, it's her moon sign. And then it was, and then it guided me into other things around emotional nourishment for you. Yeah. Um, and so those were you know messages, and and that's really where your higher self is like guiding the process. Um, but I will what I will also say about that is that you have quite a few placements in the seventh house, including your Venus sign. So that does flavor um your Venus as well with Libra energy, because seventh house is traditionally Libra ruled. So yeah, that was yeah. So it's very customized to the person. That's where it's like my process is very kind of as I mentioned before, like I've just come up with my own process with it. And so far it's really been tried and true. Like every style profile that I've delivered, like the messages have resonated with people, and that's really told me, like, okay, I'm doing what I'm here to do. Like, I'm opening my channel up in the way that God wants me to. Um, and that is something that is like, I mean, I'm sure you get it because you channel too. It's like you cannot even like put you can't put a price on it, you can't put like, yeah, it's just like such a fulfilling feeling.
SPEAKER_00I'm a hundred per it's hard to even put words to it, honestly. Like there's it's it's so otherworldworldly and so like impactful or meaningful, like it just it doesn't do it justice, I feel like. So I totally get that. But that's what was really cool was when I received the style board, I was like, oh, this is a transmission, an activation. This, it's so much more than a personal stylist. Like, that's what I loved about you. So not only was I already into the astrology, but then I was like, oh my God, you've brought all of these other aspects of yourself in. And it's the thing I teach all of my clients is like, whatever you're certified in, whatever you've learned, and like however the industry does it, great, know it, be knowledgeable of it, have it. But you have to do your own thing and put your own flavors and spin on it. And that's what I think makes you so unique is it's like there's so much that goes into that. Yeah. I felt it. I cried like after reading that, or not even like the video, the board, all of it. Like, I could feel energy releasing, I could feel an activation. Like, there was so much. It was, I was like, this is not just styling, this is like truly activating me into my higher self.
SPEAKER_01Oh my god, thank you so much for sharing that. Like it literally means so much to me to hear that because I mean, I give I do I give so much to the style profile. I mean, the style profiles are just my entry-level offering too. It's like I have like, you know, you can work with me for like months at a time. And it's like you said, it's like a transmission, but of course, we are bringing it to life in the styling piece, which is so important because that is the embodiment of your higher self. And it's really easy, I will say, it's really easy to like receive the board and like not do anything with it, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_00That's why I was immediately like, I need to work with you, whatever your offering is, I need it because I know that I'm gonna have this like incredible experience with this board, and then I'm just gonna be overwhelmed and put it aside.
SPEAKER_01Well, well, and also though, like completely redoing your wardrobe is super overwhelming. Like shopping is also super time consuming. Like, what I what I think people don't totally realize or think about really, I didn't think about it before I was a became a personal stylist, is like a really like a like uh a wardrobe that you really wear and get the most out of has a lot of intention and effort put into it. And that's the beauty, is that like I can see my I look at my clients' closets from like a high level, and like we're implementing a color story, like we're seeing all of the pieces and how they um how they style together, right? Like where are the gaps? And like it's almost it's like a formula, it's like it's like it's like mathematical at that point, and so it's very curated, but once you and so that's why it's it is hard to like implement it on your own.
SPEAKER_00Um thousand percent.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. So that's why I mean that's why I offer you know my full circle. So yeah.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I'm so excited. I can't wait. And we're we're meeting on that tomorrow. So yeah, we'll dive in. But I'm really excited because that was that's one of the things as I was, and it's something I share with my clients is your style, how you dress, your presence is a massive indicator of where you're at in an identity capacity. It's broadcasting a frequency in and of itself. And so when you're shifting identities, you have to shift your style. And I feel like I got to this point where I'm like, okay, I've done it up until this point, and now there's just a block for me to look at that. Like I feel blocked with it. And then part of that is the overwhelming thought of like cleaning out my closet and shopping for all the things and starting over, and like all of that feeling is just like, I just I'm overwhelmed as I say it now, and I'm like, I'll do that later. So, like the fact that you have that aspect to and to like what you're doing is so one of a kind. It's really cool.
SPEAKER_01Oh, thank you. And it's so important. Like, what, like, here's the thing is like, you know, you're a business owner, right? And just the work that you're doing, like you literally teach people about like their branding and how important it is and how that aligns with their identity. So like you understand immediately like the value of this. Um, but you know, in society, we're taught that like our clothes, even as women, we're taught that our beauty is not something that we should focus on. And that is something that is very intentional to keep us disconnected from like our power and from our literally our power. Um, and that's something that like I know I'm here to help connect women back to their power in the way of like embodying their beauty. Like that is hands down, it's so important. It is like I've been having this conversation with more people lately, like clients and friends alike, is like how it's it's it's like a non-negotiable, like your style. It it really is because it really does, it translates, like it translates your energy, it translates who you are, like who you think you are, how you think about yourself. And there's so much that expands when you are dressing in alignment with like your soul essence, which is like what we work on, because people feel your essence, like they see it and they feel it like immediately, and it changes how everybody in your life interacts with you, right? And that's what's like so powerful about using the astrology piece, I will say too, because like it's like I'm channeling your soul, and like we're we're bringing that to life, and that's also what makes it like so fun.
SPEAKER_00Yes, well, because one of the things I didn't want, and I I actually saw you made an Instagram video about this the other day, which I loved, but um, one of the things I didn't want when I was highly hiring a stylist is I didn't just want to like go after all the trendy stuff right now, um, because A, trends are exhausting, they're constantly changing, and B, there's no expression in that. Like, I don't want to just buy something because that's what is the program that's being beamed at us right now, right? So I was like, how do I find someone where I can explain to them like I don't want any, like I want to look good and I want to look trendy and I want to have those things, but I don't want to be in the trends, right? You know, like so what does that look like? Like, how do you help someone move from shopping for trends to shopping for their their higher self?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I mean, it all starts with like um it all starts with the mood board and sitting with like what truly wants to come through and like me understanding their energy and their chart.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And then once I deliver it to my client, like it's a conversation because of course we take, we start where with what really resonates for them, but it's really easy from that point forward to see like what trends would we incorporate. Because I do have some clients where I'm like like capris are trending right now. Like I would totally style some of my clients in capris, like it would totally fit their aesthetic.
SPEAKER_00So funny that like brings me back to high school.
SPEAKER_01I know, right? I actually love a capri moment, like a capri with a kid meal, honestly. Like, I'm about it. I'm about um but then I have other clients that I can think of right now where I would never put them in a capri. You know what I mean? And so it's once we get that foundation established, it's super easy to like, it's super easy, like not only for me, but also for my client to like look at things around them and be like, oh, I think that's really cute, but that's not my style, right? And that's that's the biggest thing because I think pretty much everything is cute. Like, I'm a personal stylist, so like I think so many things are cute, but I I'm very clear on what my style is and like what I would actually put on for me. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_00Does that answer your question? That's actually a huge clarification because I have a closet full of things that I think are cute that I've bought like impulsively, right? So I'm like, oh my god, that's so cute, and I just grab it. And I have things that I've had in there with for a year with tags on them because I'm like, oh, but it's not for me. I just I it's cute, but it's not, it's not me.
SPEAKER_01Exactly. That's like the biggest thing with this work is like it that alone frees up so much of your energy when you're like shopping and whatnot. And it also makes you feel like this deeper sense of self. Like you're like, yeah, I know, I know what like my style and my vibe is. And it's it's a it's definitely not to box you in, like it it's more like clarifying. And I was talking to one of my clients about this because she she's like very goddess coated, and that's like definitely how we've styled her, but she loves like a sporty Aries moment. Like Aries is super sporty, super edgy. Yeah, and that's just like that's like not her, like that's not that's not her sole essence. Yeah, but I've told her, I'm like, okay, like, well, you can you can totally try on like edgy looks or and and see how it feels. And she's like, I have it, doesn't feel like me at all.
SPEAKER_00It's like I'm just like, okay, well, there it is. Yeah, that is funny. Well, you know, it's interesting because when I'm working with clients with on the identity that has to the identity shift that has to take place for them to like really step into purpose and visibility, yeah. So much of who their personality is is developed out of wounding and programming. And so it's the same with style, and that's why I feel blocked right now because I'm like, I don't know how to get out of this place that I'm in, and I don't know what that looks like. Yeah, so when people are shifting their identity, like you you literally said, you know, I think two really core things so far is like when somebody's dressing in their embodiment of their Venus sign, they're in flow state. So your clothes are changing your state of being. Oh, which is huge.
SPEAKER_01Literally, quite literally, yes.
SPEAKER_00And then the other part of that is that it's an expression of your soul essence. And this is something I always try to explain to clients is like if your soul essence is blocked by your clothing, you're not gonna find your soulmate. The opportunities that you're meant to have can't find you. Like it's a whole thing. It's not just like it's not what we've been, you know, trained of what style is, right? And I know that that's currently something that's blocking me right now, is my style. That's why I'm like, I need help with this, right? Because I know, I know for this next level, this identity shift that I'm in right now, it requires a whole different version of me. But like you said, my soul's essence, not like this, I'm not creating something new. It's who I actually always have been before these programs and all these things kind of like take over. And so, but I love that because it's all about frequency and it's your state of being. So it's like, how do you see clients transform when they start to dress into their soul's essence? Like, what are some of the breakthroughs you see for them?
SPEAKER_01Okay, first I have to say that like you're one of the people, like you get like my work so deeply. It's like like I don't even it's like it's like almost like you can't are like inside of me. Like I don't think I've ever spoken to someone that like I mean, I I I've I've one other client who gets it like the way we do.
SPEAKER_00So it's just so oh girl, I wrote like a whole marketing plan for you after I saw your thing because I was like, there, I was like, people don't understand what you're doing and they need to know because it is so much more than even I expected to get. Like once I received it, I was like, oh, this is so different. So um thank you, yeah. I just totally get what you're saying.
SPEAKER_01Just hearing the way you're talking about it, I'm like, am I talking right now? Like, I'm like, you're all like are we are we like telepathic? Telepathic you're saying everything that I'm always telling people. And so it's just like such a like exhale for me. So I just have to say that. Um, but yeah, oh my god. Okay, so the transformation, getting back to your question, people come alive. Like, I will say, I mean, even like speaking for myself, like I was very before I developed my personal style, I only wore like black, white, and gray. I would only wear like plain clothing. You would never catch me in any type. I mean, I pretty much lived in athleisure wear. Yeah. And that was because I was in a place of my life where I felt super confused and I did not know who I was. And my clothes were just like an afterthought, and I didn't want to deal with it because I had no clarity on my inner world.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Um, but once I started oh I was like, whoa.
SPEAKER_00That sounds like that sounds like a little or is a godwink. Doesn't sound like one, but looked like a godwink from us.
SPEAKER_01Um yeah, but once I started dressing, like I'm I have a Sagittarius Venus, I dress very like boho chic, and like my clothing has a lot of personality. Uh I started, oh, I'm also a Leo Rising. Talk like your work. I have my Chiron and Leo, so I have a massive fear of being seen. And I started wearing clothing that was like very made me be seen. Um, like even like the head scarf that I'm wearing. Like the first time I ever wore this, um, women were stopping me in the street, telling me like that I was beautiful. And I was like, like strangers. And I like and other women. And I was like, oh my god. And like I like that didn't I'd never experienced that from like something that I was wearing, like yeah, and then I just started getting more comfortable with the idea of like, wait, I don't, I can it's okay for me to be seen, and like I'm I'm meant to be seen, and then like I just started getting confident, like my confidence just uh increased, like my spark for life started coming back. I started like understanding myself on a deeper level, and that's where like I always tell people that this is like personal development, but like fun. Yeah, and you know, I had another client too who uh you know, she primarily would just basically always wear like a crop top and denim shorts. And it was it was just very like like basic, I would say, right? And we completely like overhauled her, like sh her, she's a Taurus, Venus, Taurus Rising. Um, but her energy really likes to play with like uh masculine feminine looks, like but leaning more masculine. Um like she likes to really lean into like a lot more masculine uh looking clothing. And so we completely transformed that, but brought a lot of personality into her clothing, like and all all I can really say is like it elevated her and it also like turned her spark, her she was like she her sparkle, like yeah, it was like she was like turned on, and then like people started noticing, and they'd be like, Oh my god, like what happened? Like, what are you doing?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, she's like, Oh, I changed my style, and it's like so big, it's so big, like it is literally a your style is a portal, it's a portal, it's a massive portal.
SPEAKER_01Your style and your closet, yeah, massive portals, and there's a reason why, like, even for you, right? Like, you're going in there, you're like, This is a block. Like, yeah, you can feel it. That is very true for many, many people. And I think that people would be very, very surprised. Like, even one of my other clients that I wrapped up with like a few months ago, she told me when she like signed up to work with me, because she did like what you did. She we started with the style profile. And then she was like, sign me up. Like, yeah. And we did the full three months. And she was like, I was really hesitant. Like, there was a part of me that was like, oh my God, I can't believe I'm like putting this much emphasis on my clothes. And because she was taught, you know, we're all taught like it's not that important. Right. And she was like, my best friends were questioning me. They were like, You're doing what? And she was like, now I literally she was like, I get compliments everywhere I go. Like, and she was like, I feel cute all the time. Like, and I was like, Well, what are your friends? And she was like, and my friends are like, okay, we get it. Yeah. Why you did that? And she was like, she's like, this has literally changed my entire life. And I think that that, and she she's also shared with me, she's like, it's so nice, like not having to guess what to wear. Like, she's like, I know that I'm gonna put on a cute outfit and I know I'm gonna feel like myself. And she also has her Chiron and Leo, and she's a Leo son. And so that was something that like at the beginning, she was like, I just have a major fear of being seen. And so she told me she was like her whole energy, just like it was like she was like a flower and she just blossomed. Like she was a lot more reserved when we first started working together, and then by the end of it, it was like she's her natural, bubbly, outgoing Leo Sun self. And that to literally was because she transformed her style.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, of course. I mean, that makes so much sense because I mean, everything you're saying. So, first of all, I wear athleisure like every day. That was one of the things, especially when my higher self came through. I was like, girl, I know very common today. Even today to record this, I was like coming back from a hike, and I'm like, I need to change and I don't have time. And I was like, but I'm wearing athleisure and she just made a video about this. Um, but it is we literally all, I think everyone I know, anyways, it's like we have our same go-to outfits, right? And so like I have my athleisure that I wear all the time, and I have like five go-to outfits for when I'm like going out, and then a closet of stuff I don't even know what's happening there, like or what to do with it at this point. Even as I was going through it the other day, I was like, I don't, I was just like, I'm gonna wait until I do this with Jess because I have no idea like what to keep or what to get rid of. But I think it's so normal for us too, because it's like one, we're taught not to focus on it, or we're only taught to do it from like a trend perspective, right? Um, and then anything in between, I think you just end up in that comfort zone, like it's habit, it's pattern, just like your eating habits, your day-to-day habits, like you just end up in that same thing every day. And if you want to change your state of being, like your presence is all of that. And if you are expressing something that's very opposite of who you are, that affects like everything is energy.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And it affects all of that. So it's like you are either blocking your energy or you're projecting it for your highest good with your clothes.
SPEAKER_01And one thing that I will say too is that you know, it's very common, and I think that's why I'm doing what I'm doing, is it's like like for people listening, like it is very common to like really truly not know what your style is. And like, even for you, like right, you're like, I I like I just need I need help. And I think that that's why, like, when I do bring through what I bring through, like you said, it's a transmission, it awakens something in my clients. And it what the the feedback that I always get is like, this is everything that I've been wanting. I just did not know how to bring it to life. And that is what I'm here for. It's like I'm really just reflecting to you what you already know about yourself, and you just didn't know how to bring it through because like you're not immersed in fashion the way that I am, you know, like you're not immersed, you're like building a business, you're busy doing what you need to do. And so that's where it's like it is really empowering in that way of like whenever I start working with my clients, it's like I'm I'm literally just a mirror for you. Like I'm just holding up like your reflection and Zoom agrees. Um, and that's the thing that I just you know, I just felt inclined to say for everyone listening, is like it's super common to like not know. Um, and that's okay, you know, but but like that's the beauty of using astrology.
SPEAKER_00I mean, right, totally. I mean, astrology changed my life in so many ways. It is and you but you have to use it the right way because you have to go beyond just like my sun, moon, and rising, or like the typical things, or um like when you actually use it to connect to your higher self, to look at your psyche, to like unlike peel back those onion layers, and like you use it as like the divine blueprint that it's meant to be, it will change your life in every way. Like anytime I bring astrology, it's in all of my work, but like anytime I bring that in with clients, they always start crying because they're like, Finally, I feel so seen. Like, this is what I've always thought, and it's always been so different than you know what the world has told us to have, be or do. Um, and so it's such a powerful tool. But with that being said, you use true sky astrology. So can you tell me a little bit? Because there's so many different systems and so many different preferences. How did that come about for you?
SPEAKER_01So, True Sky Astrology found me, just like I it finds all my clients, usually through me. But so I'll I'll first start by like describing what it is and then I'll talk about how I found it and whatnot. But basically, it is um an astrology system, it's similar to sidereal, it's actually a form of sidereal astrology, and it aligns to the stars. So, Western astrology or tropical astrology, which is the most commonly used form of astrology, aligns to the seasons, it doesn't align to like where the planets are actually in relation to the stars in the sky. Um, and so true sky astrology does. And the reason why there's a discrepancy, um, there's a major discrepancy uh because between the two systems, like the reason why your your chart will like totally change between the two, basically. And that's because mainstream astrology was created like 2,000 years ago, and it did align with where the planets were in the constellations, like it did align with the true sky at the time. Um, but over time the earth's axis has shifted. It's called the procession of the equinox, like every year it shifts just a little bit, and so it has changed the relation of where um the earth is in relation to like the planets and the stars in the sky. And so it's completely shifted everything. And over the course of 2,000 years, like that makes a big difference. And so it's about a full sign up zodiac sign apart now, usually um, like different placements across the two systems. And astrologers actually knew about the procession of the equinox and they knew that it was shifting, but they chose to keep Western astrology, they chose to keep it the same for the sake of like simplicity and just keeping things easy. So, yeah, True Sky connects us to it's astronomical astrology, it's based on astronomy, it's where the planets actually are in the sky. Um, so it's very, very fascinating. And the way that I I found it when I was doing my astrology certification and I was studying Western, and someone that I know just posted a girl who did who she was a true sky astrologer to their Instagram story, and I have never felt so activated by an Instagram story. I just saw it and my whole body, like it was like a jolt of energy, and then I like went to it and I went to her profile, and the best way that I can describe it, it was like it would this has never happened to me before either. Uh it was like my whole body was tingling, it was like on it was like tingling, and I was like, what is this system? Because then I was like looking it up, I was looking at my chart, and I was a completely different uh zodiac sign in tropical. I'm a Sagittarius, in true sky, I'm a Scorpio, and I was like, what the fuck do you mean this is not like I'm a Scorpio? Like my whole life I've gone by Sagittarius, and then I saw my moon sign, and I saw that my moon was in Sagittarius, and that was when I knew because a few days before that I was studying my tropical chart, and I'm a Capricorn moon in tropical, and I remember I was staring at it, and I just like literally out loud, I like threw my pen down and I was like, I am not a Capricorn moon, like I'm literally not, and it was just this like whole full body knowing, and then when I saw that I was a Sagittarius moon, it was like oh I yeah, I knew that I already knew that. And from that point on, I just couldn't go back, like it was like I just knew that that was the system that I was meant to work with and that I was meant to bring forward. Um, and you know, because like astrologers are all meant to work with astrology in their own way and and whatnot, and same with like whatever system they're drawn to. And yeah, I I I actually when I started doing this work, I asked my guides, I was like, Well, can I do it based off, you know, tropical? And they were like, No. And I was like, why? And they were like, You're coded for true sky, like purely coded for true sky. And that has been made clearer to me, that just like the more that I work with clients, it's like um just the messages that I receive, and because you know, it would be so different. I would style people so differently if it was based on their tropical chart, and it wouldn't, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be resonant the way that it is, and so um yeah, it it was a whole awakening, and now looking back, I understand why I had such a visceral response because it's a huge part of my soul mission, right?
SPEAKER_00And I didn't know that at the time, so I love that because I think it makes so much sense that what you're coded for, because so the way I viewed this, I got my first true sky reading done five or six years ago. Um and so, but when I got it, and I was into I I was like kind of like exploring all the different systems because I was like, let me just see. Yeah. And when I got it, I remember thinking, oh, this isn't me, but this is who I'm becoming. This is my evolution, and I could see that and I could feel it in there. And then the tropical, I was like, this is me right now. Um, and so I think it also makes sense because the clients who are going to be coming to you, the place that they're coming to you at is like at a massive point in their evolution to their higher self. Like they're not to say the healing journey is ever like done, or it's like, you know, it's never done, but they're coming to you like at a very certain point in their evolution, yeah, and they're getting activated into that higher self. And so that's how I view it, anyways. Like, I feel like depending on where you are in your journey, different systems are gonna resonate at different times. Totally. And you grow out, like there's times where I'm like, oh no, I grew out of my Virgo son, right? Like I feel like I but I feel like it was very resonant to me at many parts of my life. Um, and then because to go from a for me, a Virgo son to a Leo son is huge. I mean, that's Scorpio, like what you're saying. It's like it's such a different thing, but I'm like, oh, this is my evolution though. And that's where it makes so much sense, especially with the work that you're doing.
SPEAKER_01Are you kidding? Like you're an identity and disability coach, like that is so Leo coded, I can't even and that's such a good point because we did talk about that on our previous call that we had, because I did resonate with being a Capricorn moon growing up. I very much so emotionally embodied Capricorn, like it was representative of my inner world, and now just at the time when I was studying my chart, that wasn't where my emotional state was anymore, and I knew that. And I will say I still feel like activated AF being just being a Scorpio son, like I'm like, I'm like, uh, okay, but it also makes sense because like I do have a lot of scorpionic traits. But um, yeah, so that was a very good point too. And it is really like the bottom line about my work is like if my clients feel a resonance with the aesthetics and the style that we're bringing forth, they don't even care about what their placements are. They're just like, great, style me, dress me, like let's do it. And then I do have some clients who are like you who are very into astrology and we like nerd out on it more. Yeah. Um, but what I found is that it like all that matters is that they are getting the embodiment of like the style piece, and it's like it's their soul essence, and that's just that's like the the key, the key piece.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, which is so beautiful. That's why I wanted to have you on because everything I teach is the embodiment of soul essence, everything it's always about that. Like, don't teach what you learned in school or from a book or from a certificate, like, teach how you like embody something and then teach it, right? And that's also what's happening with like human design's 400-year reset that's occurring. Like, yeah, if it's not embodied, it will not work anymore. Like, you're no longer gonna be able to teach the thing that you learned from someone else and just regurgitate stuff. You're going to have to embody and then share from that place. Um, and that was one of the things that I loved was because I was like, oh, we're doing the same work in like different ways. And I think she's bringing together a piece that not only do I need right now in my evolution, like I my guides have been so clear of like, it's time and you need to do this. And so I always I've been working with um goddess Isis and Hathor, and I've been praying to them. And it's funny, me and one of my girlfriends have been like doing all this work on activating our beauty codes. And that was the thing. So I found you on Christina the channel's podcast, Multidimensional, which is an amazing podcast. Um, and she's an amazing channel for anybody. If you don't know her, you should go check that out. But I had I found you somehow and I started following you. And then I didn't see you on my feed, so it was like out of sight, out of mind, right? And then I saw you pop up on her podcast, and I was like, oh, cool, I want to dive in. And you started talking about the coding, like where you were like, I'm coded for true sky. And that's one of the things I teach in my programs is like you have codes, like lean into your codes and all the things you were saying and the embodiment of the higher self, the soul's essence. And I was like, Oh my god, like this is what women, everybody needs it right now, but like women really need it as a divine feminine frequency, is like returning to earth.
SPEAKER_01Like it's you're yes, so important like activating me so much right now, like in in in like such a good way. Like it's it's so needed, it's so needed because like there is a very divine, I mean, we're coming back to the divine feminine, and like I mean, I remember well, I mean, I remember when I was first like Yeah, let's get into that. Let's get into it. I love this word. It's going there, it's going there. Um, okay, so Christina, who you just mentioned, is an amazing, gifted, um, she's like an oracle channeler. I mean, she has many, many intuitive abilities. And I actually um she hosted a business retreat a year ago this month, actually. Uh, and I at the time I did not have a business, but I knew something wanted to come through me. Like, yeah, I literally just knew it. And she was like, I'm hosting this business retreat, like uh there's gonna be intuitive guidance and everything around it. And I knew I had to be there. And I messaged her and I was like, I don't have a business, but like I I feel like something wants to come through me. And she was like, Come. And so you know, I had had a business before. I used to do health coaching. And so I thought, like, I don't know, maybe something around the health world. Yeah. Um, I don't have a fashion and beauty background, by the way. So that's another thing, too. Kind of like what you were saying, like that you always tell your clients is like you know, like that just that glitched out for a second.
SPEAKER_00I don't know if that will be caught. Can you um I don't know what that was? That was so weird. Did it freeze on your end at all?
SPEAKER_01No, no, but I can resay it.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, if you don't mind. Wait, from what part? Um, it glitched out right when you were saying you had had a health business. You messaged her. I don't have a business, but I want to come.
SPEAKER_01Okay, yeah. So I had had a health coaching business before, didn't have a business now or at the time. And so she was like, just come. If you're feeling the guidance, like come. And so I did. And then by the way, I don't have a beauty and fashion background. Like, I was never in the beauty industry. I like that's and I say that because you mentioned that a lot of your work is like reminding people and bringing them back to just what they're coded for. And like it's it's not about the certifications and all of that. That that that's just like preventing us from living in our soul mission.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Um, it is actually like you are here to do what comes naturally to you. And you will be like, How the fuck am I doing this? Yeah. Like I have moments like that all the time. I'm like, I don't know how I'm doing this, but I it's because I'm doing my soul mission, like I'm listening, I'm saying yes. And you know, and that's not to say like I've had to still learn things and accumulate skills, and I'm I'm refining my craft for sure as I go, but you just have to say yes, and like things will be put in your path to activate you into that. So that's a side note. Um, but anyway, so she went into um like my soul, my higher my higher self, you know, channeling wise. And she was like fashion and astrology. And I was like, No. Like I literally, I literally was like, no. And and she was like, and I was like, well, what's my soul mission? And she was like, you're here to bring beauty codes back to the to the planet. And I was like, okay, that it felt like totally out of left field for me because like I was not in touch with my beauty the way that I am now. Um, but I had been getting in touch with it. I had been feeling drawn toward like all my outfits and all of that very naturally. And then when she said the astrology, so the astrology piece, I had at the time, like I had already been, you know, I had already studied astrology and like been giving readings for like just over three years. And I was like, I don't, I had so much resistance to it. Like I was like, I don't want to do that anymore. Like I don't, I was really bored giving readings to people. She was like, she was like, I just don't think you were doing it in the right way, like the way that was for you. And so we kind of like talked through it a little bit, but it I was like, no, like that's not, I'm not doing that. Like I had so much resistance, and I flat out said that to her, and she was just like, Look, I'm just telling you what what I thought.
SPEAKER_00She's like, I'm just channeling. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01She's like, I'm just and I and I was like, no, I know, whatever. And then a few months go by, and I actually did another session with her, and she like cleared a bunch of stuff for me. And anyways, and and and I was like, she was like, I'm still picking up on the astrology and the fashion thing. And I was like, I just don't know how I would do that. Like, because I couldn't cognitively like wrap my brain around it, yeah. And then like a week later, I'm in a mastermind with three women, and one of them goes, one of them had asked me for like an interpretation around her astrology chart, and so I gave it to her, and then this other like another one was like, You need to be doing astrology, and I was just like, I just like don't want and she was like, Will you make me a Pinterest board based on my astrology chart? And I was just like, Wow, it was totally divine, like working through her, yeah.
SPEAKER_00And I was like, Angel planted in the seat next to you.
SPEAKER_01Literally, she is also like one of my like, she's been my mentor before, she's like a divine being, and something in my body just was like, say yes, and I had no idea how to do that. I was like, what? And then I was like, what do you want it to be around? And she was like, anything. And I was like, okay. And and then the two other women that were on the call were like, wait, we want one too. And I was like, okay. Okay, so now I'm gonna do three boards based on their astrology chart. And I just did it. Like, and it was like that's like how my you know style profile offering was born. I just did it. Like, and and I just I can't even explain it. And it was all around their beauty and styling them. And then I presented it to them. Like we jumped on a Zoom call and I like literally presented the boards to them. I love that. And I was so nervous because I was like, I basically just made this up. Like, I don't know, you know, I didn't realize I was like actually channeling their higher selves at the time. They were like crying, like they were like, Oh my god, I feel so seen. And I was like, oh my god, I just did something big. Like, what was that? And then I just started, and then I was like, well, wait, if I can do this for them, I'm gonna do it for me. And so I created my own board all around like my style and everything. And then I started embodying it, I started dressing different, and my whole my whole life just changed. And then I started getting clients, like I just started sharing about it to social media, and then I started getting clients, and then it's all been word of mouth, and it's just been a beautiful unfolding. And I went back to Christina a few months later and I was like, guess what? I'm doing and she goes, I told her that whole story, and she goes, I told you, and you were like, No, I don't want to do that. And we always laugh about it now because I was so resistant, but it just goes to show, you know, and this is where human design can really benefit, I think, as well. Because one thing that she also told me, she was like, You need to live in response. Like, she was like, Stop trying to because I'm a manifesting generator, so my strategy is to respond. And she's like, stop trying to think your way through everything. Like, she's like, This, and in your entire life. Um, and she was like, let things come to you and let yourself feel if it's right or not. And like, that's exactly what happened. Like the it was brought through someone else, and I had the opportunity to to feel it and say yes to it. Um, and I will say it was an expansive yes, like it was, it was, it pushed me. Like I wasn't super comfortable, but I knew something in me knew to say yes. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I love that story because for so many reasons, but there's like three really important things is that so many people are actually really resistant to what their purpose is. I was when I heard it was visibility, like I had been getting this intuitive. My guides were straight up channeling to me what it was, and I was like fighting it or be you know, just getting in the way of it. Yeah, because I was like, that is for sure not for me. That is for sure not for me. Um, and then it wasn't until I sat with somebody who does human design and is also an intuitive channel, and she got it, and just the way she said it, I was able to let it land, but I was still like, no. Um, and then it took a little while. And of course, as a generator myself, it kept being presented to me over and over and over again. Like that's what everybody was wanting from me. And then the same thing when I finally sat down and was like, fine, I'll just do something here, it just flowed through me. And I was like, that was the easiest thing I've ever done. I could have just like I just wrote a course in like two days because it just flowed, it was all channeled through.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Um, and so I see this all the time with my clients, uh, that they're resistant to the thing that they're meant to be doing. And so that's one of the reasons I love that story. The other part is that what you said at the beginning is so important. Like when you are a way shower in this world and you are bringing something divine through, it doesn't make sense. And you just have to say yes. Logic has to get out of the way, and you just have to say yes and keep saying yes and keep walking forward, knowing that there's no path that exists like this on the planet yet.
SPEAKER_01It's I mean, it's true. And and there are moments, like I'm sure you'll have to tell me if you've ever feel this way. I mean, not as much anymore, but when I was first starting to do this, I really was like, because I'm channeling a lot of you know, like the aesthetics. And so a lot of like some of the aesthetics, like I've never seen other people post the aesthetics for certain signs because it's like channeled. And I was like really questioning that in the beginning, and I was like, oh my god, like this isn't out there, you know, nobody's said this about Gemini or Virgo. Like, I have very different channelings around Virgo than like what's commonly out there, yeah. And um, but it's all through my client's energy, like my client's energy, every single client teaches me something new about the zodiac signs almost every time. Yeah, and that's what's really beautiful about it. And it's like the response that I get, I'm like, okay, like the yeah, like this is how the constellations. I mean, I also talk to the constellations, and I'm like, how do you want, what do you want me to like bring through for you? Like, there will be times where I do that. And um yeah, it is that like way show or energy, and you just have to trust yourself and you just have to trust like what you're being shown, and like when you're really opening yourself from a place of like service and and soul, like like let me be of service to like my soul mission, like you will not be guided, you will you will only be guided like in the right way, and you just have to like yeah, just trust it.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, absolutely. I was writing, I wrote for um a substack blog yesterday, and I was talking about the path of the way shower. And I was like, the reason everyone who's successful has some type of rags to riches story is because at some point in their life they made a decision or series of decisions that go against everything, yeah, like all logic, all societal programming, family, like it goes and everything even within your own self. Um, because I so resonate with that. Like when I was starting to create content, I was like, nobody wants to hear about visibility and social media content and the quantum field. Like nobody, those two things don't go together. People who want to create a personal brand, they don't also want to heal. Like, yeah, and so I was so resistant throughout the whole thing because it wasn't out there or existing the way I was doing it. Um, but that is actually the magic, right?
SPEAKER_01That's how you know you're on the right path, is when it's not already out there. Because like, why would you want to just be repeating what somebody else is doing? Like it is scary to be putting it out there because you don't know how it's going to be received. But like it is such a good point. Like when you if you are on the path and or you have an idea and you're like, but it's never been done this way, that's it.
SPEAKER_00That's it. That's it, it's like hands down, go all in on that and and go against everything in your brain that wants to tell you otherwise. Go against every business and marketing course or sales course that you've taken. Like, you have to go against everything so that the soul can actually do what it's meant to do. And then once you do that, you're just like, oh my god, why didn't I do this easier? It's so much easier when I just like like let this flow through me versus fighting it every step of the way.
SPEAKER_01Oh true. It's like our minds are so powerful in that way.
SPEAKER_00But yeah, it's yeah, and sometimes they become our prison, I think, you know, because it's like we have so much in there that's not even ours, really. But um, before we get into some ways that people can work with you, because I really want to talk about that. For those who want to step into this embodiment, they want to step into this evolution of themselves, but they're not in a place where they're gonna be able to work with a stylist right now. What would you explain to them or share with them about how they can go about this and maybe start incorporating it at home?
SPEAKER_01That's a good question. I do have like a free little mini glow-up download for people that I include in the show notes that um or for you to include in the show notes that people can like it. Basically gives you words based on your sun, Venus, and rising sign and how you can kind of like curate an aesthetic based a style aesthetic based on that. I also have zodiac mood boards available, like for cool. Yeah, so they're like $33 each. I just launched them. These are really great if you're like like let I would recommend like getting the mood board that's based off of your Venus sign and then the mood board that's based off of your rising sign. And go into both of those because you will capture the essence of those and notice what your body responds to. And you can even like make yourself a Pinterest board from it, like repinning pins. Um, I only have like four zodiac signs done at the time of this recording, but I will be getting them up all up eventually. So that is where I would say to start if you're not in the position to like, you know, do the whole styling route. Um you can, of course, also do a style profile with me, which is um where we started. And that's where I will do the custom board for you. And that in itself is a transmission.
SPEAKER_00It's a transmission and energy clearing and activation. Like it was so much, it was so much more than what I thought. That's why it took me two days to respond to you, because I was like, oh my God, this is way more than what I was expecting. Like it's it's so beautiful. It cleared energy. I felt an absolute activation and a remembrance, um, which is what made me cry is I was like, oh my God, there she is. Like it was like I was remembering this piece of myself, like, oh, there she is. There, like, and then having all these flashbacks of like that version of me. Um, and then there was like all of these messages from my higher self in there that were so resonant and like just, and then there was all the styling on top of that. Like, there was there's so much in that. I was like, whoa, this is incredible! Like, there's so much is happening in this. And as soon as I saw the styles, I was like, oh my god, yes. Um, so the style profile, I highly recommend everybody get that. Um, it will be in the show notes. It is there's so much gold in that. Um, and you know, if you are in the place, I think you have the is it called the embodiment?
SPEAKER_01Yes. Okay, yeah. So the embodiment is like the full transformation. It's three months of working together. It includes the style profile experience. We I always start there no matter what with my clients. Um, and we we embody that we take what comes through and we work together for a full three months to fully curate your wardrobe and help you actually embody the style because it's a lot easier said than done. I will say, like, I get a lot of people that like, or quite a few people, I should say, that have done style profiles and they're like, oh my gosh, like, you know, you receive so much out of it, right? And they're like, no, I'm good. Like, I can implement. And then they come back to me a few months later and they're like, I need help. Like, I don't know. And it's like, yeah, because usually it's a full overhaul for people. It's usually like not what you've been dressing like for for most people. I think I've only had one client where it was like she was like already kind of dressing that way. Um, but it really gives us it's such like a curated and beautiful and fun experience where we're doing styling sessions. You we do a full closet clean out. Um, I'm shopping for you. I have I have a really amazing like virtual styling portal that's like our it's like basically I can see your whole closet virtually and I can like style a bunch of pieces and you can go in there and like see everything. And then in person we can meet up. If I have clients that are local, we can meet up and we can like go based off of all of what we've already seen in the portal. There's so much, but that's what really makes it like um it you still get the most out of it, even if you know you're a virtual client, which is really beautiful. But yeah, it's really honestly like I wish that, like, I mean, there's only so much of me, but like I wish that I could just do the embodiment with everyone because it's like it is such a sacred and transformative like container, and every single embodiment experience that I've done is like so different because it's like so based on my client, and it's so based off of like how you know you like to your energy and like what everything is gonna look like, and um, but we're really working together very closely to like bring your soul essence through, and kind of like what we were talking about before, like it really just is this like it's just an opening, and the reason why it's called the embodiment is because it is that like it's you embodying your soul essence, and I'm literally just there supporting you. It's really great for like you know, you're a busy entrepreneur. Like I do all the legwork, and then you just get to like sit back and be like, Yes, no, yes, no, like this works, this doesn't. Like that's what's really great about it because shopping is very time consuming, so time consuming, it's exhausting. It's exhausting, yeah. Like it's a lot of work, and so that's like my job. Like, I'm like, I'm here to make this as easy as possible for you, and all I want you doing is saying yes or no, and like deciding like what like what is gonna work, what's gonna not, and like obviously trying things on because it's it's kind of a process too. Like, I'm always like, let's try this, let's see what this looks like because we're also kind of meeting you where you're at, and for a lot of my clients, it's like we're expanding you, and so you're gonna be trying looks on that you may not be comfortable with.
SPEAKER_00Yes, so yeah, I feel like I went on a whole tangent there, but no, it's perfect, and I think I love that it's three months um because I think that's what it takes to actually make a true change and a shift because we've all gone shopping and bought the dress or bought the thing. I have plenty of them that I've bought and they are sitting in my closet unworn because there isn't that integration of it, right? So it's like you can take the action and you can buy the things, but that's part of what you're bringing to this is like an integrated approach with the embodiment of it.
SPEAKER_01Um totally like I don't offer single styling sessions because they don't offer they don't offer the transformation that I know my clients need. It's like, yeah, I could come in and I could style you, but there's so much more that we have to do.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And also it's like we need to make sure we're finding you the right pieces. And sometimes that takes a little bit of time, that takes a little bit of trial and error. Yeah. Um, so having the time, it it just feels really yummy. That's like the best way that I describe it.
SPEAKER_00Oh, well, I love this. This is super helpful. I'm really excited for everybody who's listening. Dive into your true sky. So, and I would look at your whole chart because, like I said, five years ago, even when I was looking, and I was like a very different person five years ago. Um, but I knew there was an evolution that was happening into that chart.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Um, so look at it and then compare it to where you're at now, where you want to be. But then you would mention the Venus and the rising sign are the two that they should look at there to start trying to find that embodiment. Yeah. Um, and they can always download your guide that will be in the show notes, as well as the um astrology sign board. So they could even pair up like whatever their Venus and their um rising is.
SPEAKER_01Yes. Yeah, that's definitely a great place to start if you're like wanting to kind of dip your toes in, and then from there, um, if if you know you feel called to the work, that's what I'm here for.
SPEAKER_00So well, if you could leave the world with one piece of advice like Jess's taking off to another planet tomorrow, you have one thing you can leave planet Earth with. What would you share with everybody?
SPEAKER_01Oh my god, what a beautiful question.
SPEAKER_02I would say this is a really good one.
SPEAKER_01I would say, like, I would ask the question of like, are you living your life for yourself or for everyone around you? Um, and I think that part of this work that I'm doing, I've always felt so drawn to living in alignment with my soul. But it's always felt so hard because everyone around me has it, it's not what they're doing. And so I think like really, really trust yourself and really listen to the things that are on your heart and that are on like they're on your heart for a reason. Listen to your dreams, like your dreams can absolutely become a reality, and you just have to say yes, like you, it's not going to be the easiest path. Like alignment does not mean that everything's just going to like fall into place and you're never gonna experience hardship. But when you feel like when you feel the like fulfillment that comes from doing the things that you love in your life, whether that be through your career or not, like that is the feeling to hold on to. Um and I really do think that we are all here to like, we all have a soul mission, and it's you know, really easy to stay in the muff in the like I want to say muffin mold. Like I don't know why. But like really have the courage to break out of it because you are here for something bigger. Like if you're listening to this, you're here for something bigger, hands down. Um, and really lean into like communities, like you know, you have Kristen. I know you have a community, and um, that's something that I have farther on in my horizon that I want to develop, but there are people doing that, and I know it it will seem scary, but trust yourself and listen to the dreams that are on your heart. Okay, that's all I have to say.
