Mother’s Day can feel tender, triggering, or even hollow when you’re holding unhealed mother wounds. Whether you’re navigating a complicated relationship with your mother, grieving what you never received, or trying to mother yourself in ways you were never shown—you’re not alone. This week’s episode of Real Talk with the Spiritual Bestie is a heart-centered offering for my sisters carrying the quiet grief of unmet needs. We dive deep into the sacred shadow work rising under the Full Moon in Scorpio, a powerful lunar portal that brings up emotional intensity, truth-telling, and ancestral healing. Scorpio invites us to feel what we’ve buried—and that includes the silent stories we carry about our mothers, and the parts of ourselves shaped in their absence or pain. In this episode, we unpack: •The emotional weight of mother wounds and how they show up in adulthood •Why Scorpio Full Moon energy demands emotional honesty and deep transformation •Journal questions for connecting with the unmet needs that you're

Welcome to Season 7 of the podcast.In this episode, we’re diving deep into the transformational three-year Saturn in Pisces transit—one of the most important astrological events of the decade. This powerful planetary shift invites us to reflect on what has ended, what we've outgrown, and where we are being called to rebuild from a more soul-aligned foundation.Before we even touch on the astrology for the week, we explore the emotional and spiritual heaviness rising to the surface—what many of us are feeling as a call to slow down and turn inward. This is the energy of shadow work, inner healing, and the sacred restructuring of the self.We also connect this moment to the influence of Chiron, the wounded healer, and how this energy may be revealing what is ready to be felt, released, and fortified. This episode is an invitation to align with the cosmic flow, do the deep emotional lifting, and root into your spiritual resilience.If you're navigating grief, emotional breakthroughs, or seeking a deeper connection
