  • 11:11 Cosmic Happenings
    Nov 12 2024

    In this podcast episode, Sonia and Deirdre discuss the transformative cosmic energies from October 11th to November 11th, which they describe as the final stage in a karmic cycle that began in January. This period is seen as a time for releasing old patterns and behaviors to make way for a new phase of expansion. Both hosts reflect on feeling stuck or in a state of anticipation—one described as a space where they feel excitement but also impatience. They note that it's a moment to sit with trust rather than rush into action, practicing acceptance of where they are as preparation for the next level of growth.

    The conversation delves into themes of trust, letting go, and rest. They touch on personal stories: Sonia describes how her momentum halted after a social media suspension forced her to rebuild her business connections, viewing it as a reminder to stop forcing things and trust the process. Deirdre talks about her journey into family life, learning to adapt her goals and find alignment with her values after years of prioritizing work. This has included adjusting her expectations of work-life balance, especially after the arrival of her child, which brought a realization that life’s disruptions can lead to necessary, beneficial changes.

    They emphasize that traditional ideas of success, which often promote constant doing and achievement, don’t fully support well-being. Instead, they recommend allowing space for growth by trusting in the present moment and leaning into stillness. Referencing Rest is Resistance by Tricia Hersey, they discuss the importance of rest, recognizing one's worth without constant productivity, and resisting burnout by listening to the body. The episode concludes with practical advice for embodying trust: feeling supported in everyday moments and practicing letting go of control.
