I accidentally joined a gym. Here’s what that has to do with astrology.


Hey you,

So… quick confession:

A few weeks ago, I accidentally joined a gym.

Not in a “new year, new me” moment of motivation. No. This was a “I just came in to use the bathroom and somehow I’m now enrolled in a 12-month contract” kind of situation.

The woman at the front desk was very persuasive. She told me I had “a good energy,” and suddenly I was nodding along like yes, I DO deserve to be the best version of myself, even though all I wanted was to not pee on the side of the road.

I walked out with a welcome tote bag, three class passes, and deep, immediate regret.

Anyway. That whole moment reminded me of why I created The Cosmic Compass in the first place.

Not to help you avoid joining a gym (though… honestly?), but because too many of us—especially creative, magical, entrepreneurial women—are out here trying to make decisions with no guide, no anchor, no intuitive GPS.

We end up signing up for things we don’t want, building businesses that exhaust us, or pushing for goals that someone else told us were important.

The Cosmic Compass is a free (for now) digital sanctuary I built to help you not do that anymore.

It’s where I share bite-sized astrology insights (no jargon, no overwhelm), cosmic prompts, and intuitive tools to help you:

  • Make business decisions that actually feel good
  • Align your offers with your natural energetic seasons
  • Know when to launch, when to chill, and when to burn it all down and start fresh (gently, with candles)

And right now—it’s free to join. (Because I believe in people getting in touch with their magic before they hit burnout… or the gym sales desk.)

Thanks for still being here. I’ll be back in your inbox next week (for real this time). No sales pressure, just stardust, strategy, and stories—like how I once was an accidental smoking model! (It's a real thing.)

Thank you for being you.

Hey Reader Quick Question. Have you ever realized you’ve become “less active” only because your body started filing formal complaints? Yeah. Same. In the latest podcast episode, I talk about why motivation is total BS (yep, I said it) and how a tiny shift in perspective made everything feel easier. Here’s the gist: 30 minutes of movement, 5 days a week = 10 hours a month = 5 days a YEAR. Five! Out of 365. And when you apply the same math to entrepreneurship? One hour a day, 5 days a week = 10...

Let me just say it: If I had a dollar for every time a bro-marketing guru barked, “Consistency is KING,” I’d have… well, enough to hire someone else to pretend to be consistent for me. Here’s a true story from literally last night: I had blocked off time to record my podcast. Mic out. Notes ready. Headphones on. Vibes: Awesome Radio Host! But then I made the mistake of sitting down on the couch for “just a second.” (If you’ve ever told yourself this lie, I see you.) Two hours later, I was...
