Take a breath with me, wherever you are… inhale deeply… and exhale it all out.Today’s episode is a bit different—less forecasting, more feeling. We’re in a very spiritually significant portal right now, one that merges the ancient wisdom of Guru Purnima with the deep, earthy release of a Capricorn full moon. And this energy? It’s speaking volumes. So consider this your energetic update from the cosmos and Spirit alike. 🌕 What Is Guru Purnima? Let’s start with Guru Purnima or Guru Poornima. This is a sacred significant day in many Eastern traditions especially in Hinduism and Buddhism, set aside to honour the teacher, the guru. The word “guru” itself means “dispeller of darkness.” So Guru Purnima isn’t just about celebrating external teachers... it’s also about reconnecting with your inner wisdom and higher guidance. It’s a time to bow to the light that guides us home to ourselves.In spiritual terms, this is a high-vibrational day that supports deep insight, gratitude, humility, and alignment with truth. When Guru Purnima coincides with a powerful full moon like this one in Capricorn, it becomes a double invitation to release what’s heavy and return to what’s real. The teacher may show up as a mentor, a book, a painful experience, or your own soul whispering beneath the noise. What I'm intuitively feeling... the sacred weight This energy feels… dense. But not in a negative way. It's like a pressure valve that's building because there’s a release point approaching. You know when a kettle starts to whistle because the heat builds so much that steam has to escape? That’s where many of us are emotionally, spiritually, and collectively. The heat is on. The pressure is rising. And the whistle is coming. But it’s not a warning... it’s a signal. Something's about to break open.I keep feeling the words: heavy but sacred. This isn't heaviness from stagnation. This is the sacred weight of becoming It’s like the tide just before it turns, pulled back to the deepest point, gathering force for the next wave.”Many of you might be feeling tired, confused, emotional, or unusually sensitive. That’s your body processing not just your own energy, but the collective fields shifting too.The full moon in Capricorn adds this deep earth-based gravity. Capricorn rules structures, discipline, timelines. And when it meets the intuitive water of Cancer season, it creates a polarity that asks: What needs to be released so something real and lasting can be built? Spirit Says — “Changing of the Guard” The loudest phrase Spirit has been whispering lately is: “Changing of the guard.” This isn’t just poetic—it’s literal and energetic. We’re witnessing the breakdown of systems, hierarchies,

    114: Spirits and Spirit: Alcohol, Drinking and Spirituality
    Jul 3 2025
    In this episode, we explore the nuanced and often tender relationship between alcohol and spirituality. Is alcohol sacred or does it disconnect us from our truest selves? We’ll look at how alcohol has been used in spiritual traditions throughout history from the wine of Christian communion to the abstinence teachings of Islam and how our own rising consciousness can shift our desire to drink. This conversation isn't about fear, shame or extremes but about awareness, intention and honouring your own unique path. Whether you're sober curious, re-evaluating your habits or simply seeking a better understanding, this episode invites you into a more conscious relationship with yourself, your energy, and the choices you make.

Message Phi on Instagram Email Phi Contact Phi for details Bali September Retreat (September 29th - October 4th) Spirits & Spirit: Alcohol & Spirituality Hi my love, thank you so much for tuning into this week’s episode. Today’s conversation comes straight from your requests and I’m going to dive deep into something many of us have wondered about: the relationship between alcohol and spirituality. Is alcohol sacred or is it a barrier to the sacred? Let’s explore this together with honesty, curiosity and compassion. Alcohol has played a complex role in spiritual traditions throughout history. In Christianity, for example, wine holds powerful symbolism—it represents the blood of Jesus Christ and is a key part of the sacred ritual of communion, inviting believers into a shared experience of grace and transformation. Yet, across many other faiths, alcohol is viewed very differently. Islam, for instance, forbids drinking altogether, reflecting concerns about its potential to cloud the mind and spirit. This creates a fascinating tension: on one hand, alcohol can bring people together, marking celebrations, rites of passage, and moments of community. It can be part of joyful ceremonies and sacred gatherings. On the other hand, alcohol also carries the risk of disconnection, addiction, and harm. So, when we look at alcohol through the lens of spirituality, the question becomes = does it serve as a bridge to the sacred or does it sometimes stand in the way? In today’s episode, we’ll explore both sides of this paradox and uncover what it means to approach alcohol with mindfulness and self-awareness on your spiritual path. The energy of alcohol and drinking Let’s talk energetics for a moment. Alcohol lowers inhibition, yes. It opens us up. It also numbs the nervous system, distorts perception and can disconnect us from our inner compass if we’re not careful. It’s not just about what we feel physically, but also what’s going on beneath the surface in our subtle bodies. If you're someone sensitive to energy—you’ve probably noticed this. A drink might feel light and joyful at first, but too much... and suddenly your intuition goes blurry. Your dreams are off. Your morning meditation feels a little more dull. That doesn’t mean alcohol is “bad.” It means you’re tuning in. When we tune in, we get to choose more consciously. Not from fear, but from alignment. We all have this energetic field around called your aura that acts like a protective bubble. It keeps us steady and helps us hold our own energy. Alcohol and other things that disrupt our natural rhythm can create little weak spots in this field, making us feel more sensitive or vulnerable to outside influences. It’s kind of like your personal energetic shield getting a tiny crack. If you’re someone who tunes into your intuition or works with psychic or energetic senses, you might notice that alcohol creates a kind of haze,

    113: Two Years of Unlearning: Revisiting My Own Teachings
    Jun 23 2025
    Two years ago, I put my most personal lessons into a book — a snapshot of my unlearning up until that point... but growth never stops, and the words I wrote then have continued to evolve as I do. In this anniversary episode, I’m sharing what it’s like to look back at my own teachings and add on with lived experience: the ways my understanding of love, family, success, self, and spirituality has deepened. I reflect on everything from embracing seasons of effort and ease, to realising that true love blooms alongside deeper self acceptance, to unlearning inherited patterns that no longer fit. Most of all, I explore what it means to keep becoming — to live my own story as an evolving process rather than a tidy, completed chapter. If you’ve ever wondered what happens after you say, “I’ve learned this,” this episode is for you. Let’s honour the journey together and embrace the beautiful unfolding that happens after we put pen to paper. Resources from today's episode Work with Phi Learn more about 1:1 Coaching with Phi here.

Message Phi on Instagram Email Phi Two Years of The Great Unlearning Hi there, we’re so back. Had a little mini unexpected but expected break. Things have been really busy in my world and a month ago I ran the Flow Retreat in Vietnam and this evening I’ll be running the kick off call for the Recharge and Renew Bali Retreat in August which is sold out. The final retreat I will be running in 2025 is also in Bali at the end of September if you’re interested, send me a message as it hasn’t been publicly officially launched yet. Today happens to be the 2nd anniversary of my book The Great Unlearning: Awakening to Living an Aligned and Authentic Life. Happy birthday to my baby and in honour of this birthday and celebration I thought I would talk about my journey Two Years of Unlearning My Own Teachings. Growth is expansion. You know, it’s funny how a book can feel like a time capsule — a snapshot of who you were and what you believed in a particular moment. Two years ago, I poured my heart onto those pages. Every word was true to me then. I guess what I didn’t fully realise at the time is that those words would also become seeds… seeds that would continue to grow in me as much as they might grow in you. So as I reflect on these two years — celebrating this book's anniversary — I’m less interested in rewriting what I wrote and more interested in adding on. Adding those subtle new threads that life, practice, and my own unlearning have revealed. Unlearning Success Expanding on success and abundance feels like opening a wider door — beyond just seasons or mindset, into the energetic dance that happens between us and the flow of life. Since writing the book, I’ve become more aware of how deeply our relationship to success is intertwined with our inner alignment — not just what we do, but who we are in each moment. Success isn’t just the visible achievements or milestones; it’s also the invisible states of being: the patience in waiting, the trust in timing, the surrender when things don’t move as planned. These inner states carry an energy that either opens the channel for abundance or blocks it. I notice when I’m pushing against my own values and boundaries — when I’m forcing myself to hustle out of scarcity or fear. That kind of push drains my energy and leads to frustration and burnout. When I align my actions with what truly matters to me, honouring my boundaries and staying true to my values, I move from a place of deep alignment and joy. This energetic awareness has become my compass — guiding me to recognise when it’s time to step forward with purpose and when it’s time to pause and protect my energy. It helps me navigate the flow between effort and ease,

    112: Rebirth by Moonlight – Astrology & Human Design of the Scorpio Full Moon
    May 12 2025
    Descend into the depths of the Scorpio Full Moon —an astrological and human design moment that asks us to release what we can no longer control, to surrender what no longer serves and to trust in the darkness: death and rebirth. We explore the energy at play, including that of the “Finger of God” pointing toward the Moon, inviting profound emotional reckoning and soul level redirection. I’ll share what this lunation means through the lens of Human Design’s Energy Assimilation and offer reflections, mindset shifts and journal prompts to help you honour your own inner rebirth. This isn’t about fixing yourself— it’s about letting go so the real you can rise. Resources from today's episode Work with Phi Learn more about 1:1 Coaching with Phi here.

Recharge and Renew - Bali Retreat August 2025 Message Phi on Instagram Email Phi The full moon this month in May 2025 is happening in Scorpio Hello my love, How are you feeling in the thick of this full moon, arguably one of the most intense for 2025 if we didn’t already get served that with the ending of the eclipse season. The full moon is on the 12th of May 2025 and 13th of May 2025 here in Australia. This is not a moon for surface-level insights. It’s a time of depth, transformation and truth telling. Scorpio doesn’t whisper; it pierces. In this episode I’m explore the energies at play, including powerful energetic formations and and the voice of assimilation in Human Design, a voice that reminds us that real clarity arises from the silence after we’ve surrendered control. This is your permission slip to stop trying to fix, rush, or control anything and instead, let the mystery reveal itself to you. What planets rule Scorpio? Mars and Pluto It’s the Scorpio full moon. Scorpio is ruled by two planets: Mars and Pluto. Mars is considered the traditional ruler, and Pluto is the modern ruler. Both of these planets explain different layers of Scorpio’s intense and mysterious personality. Mars, in astrology, is the planet of action, drive, and passion. It’s all about how you go after what you want. Before Pluto was discovered, Mars was the only ruler of Scorpio. While Mars also rules Aries (which is bold and fast), in Scorpio, Mars shows up in a more controlled, focused way. Instead of charging forward like Aries, Scorpio's Mars is more strategic, emotionally driven, and intense. Think of it like a slow-burning fire — it might look calm on the outside, but it’s powerful underneath. Then there's Pluto, which was discovered in the 1930s. Even though it's a tiny planet (and no longer considered a planet by astronomers), astrologers gave it to Scorpio because its energy matched so well. Pluto is about transformation, power, secrets, and the cycle of death and rebirth — emotionally, spiritually, or even literally. This gives Scorpio its reputation for being deep, mysterious, and a little bit obsessed with what’s under the surface. Pluto’s influence makes Scorpio want to understand the truth behind things, even if it’s dark or uncomfortable. Death is the beginning for Scorpio transformation Together, Mars and Pluto explain why Scorpio energy can feel so intense because it's driven (Mars), and it’s deep and transformative (Pluto). Scorpio doesn’t just want the surface-level version of life. It wants to go all the way down to the core: to understand, to feel, to change, and to rise again stronger. Scorpio whispers to you that you are not here to stay the same. You are here to shed skin again and again until your essence gleams clean and true beneath the weight of all you've outgrown. You are here to walk willingly into the fire, not because you enjoy the burn, but because you know the ashes will teach you how to rise. Let the identity that no longer fits dissolve.

    111: 11 Things About Alignment that No One Talks About 🤫
    May 7 2025
    Alignment is often glamourised as a constant state of flow, clarity and purpose but the reality is far more nuanced. In this episode, we uncover 11 raw and rarely spoken truths about what alignment really looks and feels like. It’s not always peaceful or polished — in fact, sometimes it shows up as discomfort, endings or a deep sense of uncertainty that’s guiding you to something more honest. We talk about the quieter forms of alignment, like making decisions that don’t make sense to others but feel deeply right to you. You’ll hear about the courage it takes to let go of things that are “almost right,” and why aligned living isn’t about perfection — it’s about integrity, even when it’s inconvenient or uncomfortable. This episode is both a reality check and a permission slip to honour your own unique path.Whether you’re in the middle of a transition, questioning what’s next, or simply craving more depth on your personal growth journey, this conversation offers grounded wisdom and soulful reminders. These 11 insights on alignment will help you trust yourself more deeply, recognise alignment in unexpected forms, and walk your path with more compassion and confidence.Keywords and themes of this podcast episode in summary: alignment, personal growth, spiritual alignment, authenticity, life purpose, intuition, self trust, energetic shifts, inner truth, transitions, integrity, soulful livingThemes:The misunderstood side of alignmentLetting go of what’s no longer rightFollowing inner guidance over external validationDiscomfort as a sign of growthRealigning after major life changesHonouring your unique rhythmThe difference between ease and alignmentSynchronicities, signs and angel numbers (111, 1111)Saying yes to what deeply resonatesTrusting the unknownThe courage to live in truth Resources from today's episode Work with PhiLearn more about 1:1 Coaching with Phi here.Apply for 1:1 Coaching with Phi here.Book a Human Design Reading with Phi here.Phi's book; The Great Unlearning: Awakening to Living an Aligned and Authentic Life.Recharge and Renew - Bali Retreat August 2025Message Phi on InstagramEmail Phi Celebrating 111 Hello my love! Welcome to episode 111 of the grow through it podcast. That angel number alone feels like a portal, so it’s only fitting we talk about something equally powerful and often misunderstood: alignment.It’s become a bit of a buzzword, hasn’t it? “Just align with it.” “That’s not aligned.” But what does it really mean to live in alignment? Not in an Instagram caption kind of way, but in a real, embodied, sometimes messy, deeply honest kind of way?In this episode, I’m breaking down 11 practical shifts: truths, perspectives and tiny mindset recalibrations — that can help you actually feel what alignment is, not just talk about it.Let’s demystify the word, anchor it into reality, and maybe, by the end, alignment will feel a little less elusive… and more actionable, achievable, possible.It’s beautiful timing as I am getting in the creative flow zone channelling for the upcoming Flow Retreat Im running in Vietnam at the end of this month with 7 incredible and beautiful women!Let’s dive in.11 Things You Need to Know About Alignment (That No One Talks About) 1. Alignment isn’t a buzzword—it’s a felt experience. It’s not about having the perfect morning routine, or ticking spiritual practices off a list, collective gold stars from the universe. Alignment is about truth. It’s about how honest you’re willing to be with yourself. It asks: Can you be radically honest with yourself? Can you pause long enough to listen—not just to your mind, but to your body, your breath, your subtle yes and your sacred no? Can you soften into your inner knowing before charging ahead with the next task or to-do?Alignment isn’t aesthetic. It’s a deep, steady resonance that hums when you're connected to your yes—and brave enough to honour your no.

    Apr 30 2025
    You’ve heard of your Saturn Return — but what happens when your soul knocks again, not with pressure, but with purpose? In this episode, we dive deep into the Nodal Return, the cosmic rite of passage that unfolds around ages 36/37/38 — a powerful checkpoint that asks: Are you truly living in alignment with your soul’s path? We explore: What is your Nodal Return and what are the nodes? (beyond the astrology jargon) Why it often brings changes in career, relationships, and identity The difference between your first Nodal Return (around 18) and your second (mid thirties) Why this time is less about achievement and more about meaningful alignment Real-life themes I see in 1:1 client sessions and Human Design readings Whether you’re navigating your Nodal Return now, approaching it, or reflecting on it in hindsight — this episode will help you make sense of the deep shifts, honour the changes you’re feeling, and lean into the life your soul came here to live.

Flow - Vietnam Retreat May 2025 Recharge and Renew - Bali Retreat August 2025 Message Phi on Instagram Email Phi Feeling blegh in your mid 30's...? There’s been a sudden wave of clients coming to me over the past two weeks — all with the same quiet question under their stories: “What is going on with my life right now?” And when I look under the surface, the answer is often the same — they’re in the thick of their nodal return. It’s a cosmic checkpoint, one that doesn’t come gently — and it’s not supposed to. Because your nodal return isn’t about comfort. It’s about course correction. It’s about remembering what your soul actually signed up for before it came back to Earth. In this episode, we’re diving into what a nodal return really is, why it can feel so disorienting, and how to navigate it with grace, truth and a whole lot of courage. What is a nodal return (human design, astrology)? We have to start with what are the nodes in astrology, energy, spirituality and human design. They're not planets themselves, but rather energetic points where the moon’s path intersects with the sun’s path. These points are closely tied to eclipses and are considered deeply connected to your soul's journey. As I’m recording this, we’re in a fresh nodal cycle with the North Node now in Pisces and the South Node in Virgo (2025-2027). For the past two years, we’ve been living through the Aries-Libra axis (2023-2025). When does your nodal return happen? Your nodal return happens approximately every 18 years when your nodes return to the position (degree, sign and energy) when you were born. This means you have a nodal return when you are around the ages of 18, 36, 54 and 72. Why is your nodal return important? The importance of your nodal return is that it’s linked to destiny. What exactly do we mean when we talk about "destiny"? From a spiritual lens, it's believed that your soul chose to come to Earth with a mission — a roadmap, if you will (your human design). This is the essence of destiny: your soul’s chosen path of evolution and expression. Nodal return and eclipses = destiny Eclipses, which are powered by the nodes, have always held an air of fate. Astrologers view them as moments to completely release control — a time to hand things over to a greater force; to ...

Flow - Vietnam Retreat May 2025 Recharge and Renew - Bali Retreat August 2025 Message Phi on Instagram Email Phi Taurus New Supermoon to end April 2025 2025 has felt like a big year — for the world, and maybe for you too. There’s been a sense of things shifting, old ways breaking down and new beginnings that don’t quite have shape yet. You’re not imagining it. There’s something in the air —an underlying push of change and to grow. At the end of this week we have the supermoon in the sign of Taurus, rising on the 27th and 28th. Today, we’re diving into the spiritual meaning of Easter—beyond the chocolate eggs, bunnies and pastel colours and into the deep waters of rebirth and resurrection. What is a Supermoon? It’s a supermoon because it’s closer to Earth, bigger and brighter in the sky, and energetically it offers a pause — a moment to return to what’s simple, steady, and real. Think: grounding, presence, beauty, body. Even in the chaos, this moon is a fresh start. A chance to come home to yourself. A final call out before I dive into this episode the Flow Vietnam Retreat is happening on the 25th of May to the 31st, final spots available. If you’re interested, curious or feeling the pull - I invite you to message me and let’s chat about the retreat! Pope Francis Taurus Supermoon April 2025 Just as this moon rises, the world feels the tremble of change in more ways than one. The recent passing of Pope Francis marks more than the end of a life — it symbolises a shift in global authority, tradition, and spiritual leadership. Whether you follow the Church or not, his death touches something collective: a changing of the guard. We’re seeing it everywhere — in governments, institutions, culture. What used to hold power is dissolving. What once felt untouchable is being questioned. We’re entering a new era, and while we may not fully understand what’s coming, we can feel that something is being restructured — from the top down and the inside out. Collective energy Taurus Supermoon April 2025 This Taurus Supermoon, then, offers more than personal grounding. It’s a collective breath. A reminder that real power doesn’t come from control, status, or fear — but from values, integrity, and connection to what’s true. As the world reorients, you’re invited to do the same. To ask: Where have I given my power away? What do I want to build that lasts? What do I trust when everything else is uncertain? So in this episode, we’re diving into the themes of this Taurus New Supermoon, how it ties into the bigger collective shifts we’re moving through — and I’ll walk you through a practical mindset map to help you realign with what matters most. Taurus New Moon Energy A new moon marks the start of a new lunar cycle. It’s a time to plant seeds — not just literally, but energetically. Intentions, choices, new habits, fresh perspectives.

It’s been a whirlwind few weeks having been in LA, San Fran, San Jose, New York and Sedona. I’m now back in Australia. Such an interesting couple of weeks as I had a few posts go viral whilst being away and so saying hi and welcoming new listeners to the podcast and a warm welcome back for those here again!Today, we’re diving into the spiritual meaning of Easter—beyond the chocolate eggs, bunnies and pastel colours and into the deep waters of rebirth and resurrection. Who is Yeshua (Jesus) Let’s begin not with "Jesus" as we often hear him—but with Yeshua, as a Jewish man, mystic and teacher. Yeshua is the original Hebrew name for the man commonly known in the Western world as Jesus. He walked this earth not as a figurehead of a religion but as a deeply embodied soul, attuned to the divine. He spoke of the Kingdom of Heaven not as a place far away, but as something within. To say "Yeshua" is to remember his humanity and his roots. It’s to see him as a spiritual teacher, perhaps even an ascended master who came to awaken love, compassion and truth in a time of oppression and fear.So in this episode, when I say Yeshua, I’m not speaking of a distant religious icon this is whom I’m referring to.There’s a part of this episode that feels deeply personal for me. If you’ve read my book The Great Unlearning you’ll know because I didn’t always feel safe with the word Jesus. I grew up in a Catholic environment—where God well not God but religion often felt distant, judgmental, or angry. Where faith was more about fear than freedom. Where you had to confess your sins to be clean. Where divinity lived up there, not in here. For a long time, I associated Jesus with that fear. That shame. That sense of not being good enough. Not being pure enough. But something shifted when I began to explore Yeshua. Not the Jesus of institutions, but the Yeshua of love.It was really initiated 2 years ago when I was in Bali, I had my first personal encounter of Yeshua energy on the night of a full moon. He appeared as a loving protector. Easter as a Spiritual Metaphor for Resurrection Easter marks the story of Yeshua rising from the dead but the deeper, spiritual meaning of resurrection isn’t just about one man coming back to life.The spiritual metaphor of resurrection wasn’t just a moment in time but as a metaphor for your life.How many times have you died and come back to life?Think of the heartbreaks, the job losses, the versions of yourself that cracked open, shattered— and somehow, still, you rose.Spiritually, resurrection means coming back to life—after something has ended, broken down or fallen away. Spiritual Rebirth When we speak of rebirth, we're really speaking of a return to truth. A shedding of old identities, old stories and illusions that no longer serve us. Yeshua’s resurrection wasn't only about life after death; it was also a radical statement about what it means to transcend fear, ego, and the worldly structures and conditioning that bind us.
