hello and welcome back to spiritually speaking with me sam and me jace we are so excited to be back we literally can't stop laughing we're just gonna have to keep this in now i know we are we've tried this what three times yeah we just can't stop laughing um so excited to be back it is 2024 we are recording actually in like real time now which is really exciting um and yeah we just can't wait to get into another episode really well it's the second of jan social media has been heaving with all oh my god all the recap of everyone's year which has been a lot yeah of course i jumped on that i fucking love stuff like that and there isn't i love you know what i love like even for like my personal instagram yeah i just love to go back myself and watch them because it just makes

me so happy it's nice to refer back yeah and like see like what you've done that year or whether it's old reels and things like that i love watching all those videos they just make you so happy yeah i don't really do it for other people I like to just do it just for myself but then it's nice like for the salons one as well like to see what the salon has done in a year and things like that but you are so right like Instagram is covered it's a lot it is a lot so what I did is I love I feel well I love social media I don't actually I have a really complicated relationship with social media I think everyone does don't they well that's it because my business is like needed to be on there yeah yeah but personally I like it for memories but some of the stuff I say I'm just like it's too much yeah so what I did and I feel really bad saying this I am happy for people but I find that um like my work is really

busy this time of year yeah and I think people get really messed up with what they see on social media then they come to me and they're like I'm really not happy and I'm like oh my god when actually maybe they are happy but that's made them feel unhappy no but exactly made them feel a bit inadequate yeah 100% so I basically muted everyone I didn't mute you yeah I kept you and like my family but I I just went through and muted everybody that's such a good idea other than like maybe yeah like 10 accounts that i actually find really like they make me happy yeah it's spiritual whatever you make me happy oh i'm glad um but yeah so i just muted everyone and i did the same on my business account as well

because I have got into this especially while like going back home to visit I just was on my phone all the time and I was in like scrolling and I'm like what am I doing this is it's quite unlike me yeah I hate that yeah time just passes you by and you're like I've done nothing with this time other than just sit and scroll on Instagram so I basically detoxed and have muted nearly everybody yeah that's nice and i just post more for business and i didn't actually post memories but i will at some point because yeah you do it whenever you want it doesn't have to be on new year's eve does it i know so we haven't actually caught up with one another yet so this um beginning especially the podcast is going to be us just chatting about Christmas New Year's what we got up to and how we're feeling and how the launch of the podcast has gone as well I know yeah it's been

so lovely and even with us saying then about the reflecting back on the year I'd noticed when I did that when we bought the podcast equipment yeah was in May. Oh my, was it May? Yeah, it was May. God. And we'd started talking about it in March. Oh my gosh, it was May. Yeah, and I was, because we bought the equipment in May.

The end of May was when I was starting treatment. Yeah. So I, that was when I'd kind of said to you like, oh, I just don't think now is like a good time for me because I knew that then if I was doing the podcast I'd have been being a bit fake like saying that I was fine I'd have been like I'm totally fine like dying inside um so I knew that that wasn't a good time and you were like no like don't worry about it and I was like went back to the UK for a little while for a few months yeah and then we just waited till you came back and

then it actually was perfect yeah yeah it's mad isn't it really yeah yeah and we've had some amazing feedback like it's been so lovely so thank you so much to everybody who has listened and really let us know what you think and telling us how much you love it because it's been so lovely it has yeah lots of messages like from friends and people like clients and just random people which is really nice it's so lovely I had a really sweet message from someone who said that she'd listened to the episode when I'd chatted about the fertility treatment and how it just made her cry but like in a lovely way like and it was she was going through something similar and it's it's so nice that you can help people in that way I feel like with our jobs because we speak to people all Mae'n dda iawn y gallwch helpu pobl yn y ffordd hon.

Yn unrhyw gwaith, byddwn i'n meddwl pan dwi'n seilio fy busnes, it's like encouraging for us to keep going yeah every time I do anything I even think when I set up my business I was like is anyone gonna book yeah and then whenever I do an event you have it's like your birthday party is anyone gonna turn up oh my god yeah that's so true so I knew

my mum and dad were gonna listen yeah and your mum and dad were gonna listen but I was like is anyone else so yeah that was quite funny my mum was like um oh i'm really proud of you you know um i didn't realize how much you skipped school my sister said that when she saw the comment oh yeah on your instagram yeah so yeah it did make me laugh i know that did make me it was good we've done well i think we're proud of ourselves and we're going into the new year like embracing that so which is good enjoying doing this yeah yeah which is great how was your Christmas babes Christmas was lovely I would actually say it was probably one of my most enjoyable Christmases which is weird because obviously I wasn't drinking yeah and for me like

I love to have a drink I love I don't enjoy getting drunk but I thoroughly enjoy a drink so I really thought that for Christmas I would really miss that but um no I thoroughly enjoyed it we went to a friend's house which we do pretty much every year when we're in Dubai um just so relaxing like sitting in the garden we had Christmas dinner we do presents but like we're very minimal with presents so like between me and Andy we have like a routine that we do every year 21st to 24th of December we go on a staycay and that's like our time just the two of us complete relaxation come back on Christmas Eve have like a nice Christmas Eve with like friends and the dog and then Christmas Day is the same and it's just become such a nice routine and it was

it was just lovely it was so relaxing I love that you use routine over Christmas you're like routine for me is always like it's all about routine always we wake up at eight o'clock that's the only thing I'd say when my routine doesn't exist oh that's good um right now anyway yeah um but yeah no so we just had such a nice time it was so relaxing super chilled as much as it's nice to go back to the uk i find that for me going back i always get ill yeah always get ill because it's so cold and i just love actually not traveling yeah and just staying here no No, I get that. I totally get that. Yeah, I think normally, because especially for me in the salon, normally I would have been working so much beforehand.

So to then just stay here is a really nice, relaxing thing to do. But it was quite strange this year, not working in December. Yeah, because your industry is like chaos before Christmas. Chaos before Christmas. And the girls were amazing in the salon like they looked after it so well and i actually thought i was going to be there a lot more than i was um but i realized that i wasn't actually needed as much as i thought i was going to be needed which was a lovely thing obviously but also quite strange to get your head around that it does work without you yeah it's like oh okay it's a compliment it

is a compliment but it's yeah hard to get your head around and you've just thought as well yeah you're letting go which is really good yeah that's really yeah exactly good and positive yeah how was your christmas it was nice i i went back to the uk so i flew home christmas eve so i kept it a short trip seven days of chaos which is not really. No, it's normally like a month. Yeah. Yeah, I do love being with my family. And it was a surprise. So my little nieces and nephews didn't know.

Oh my God, that's so lovely. Yeah, which is cute. So I surprised them Christmas morning, which was... On Christmas morning? Yeah. Oh, that's so special. It was really good. How did you do that?

So I just hid in the car. My parents drove there. So they picked me up Christmas Eve then I hid at my mum and dad's house for the afternoon and evening yeah but with the time difference I was asleep by like half six woke up Christmas day I was like right let's do this and I had like a massive speaker to play Christmas songs um our family always um play Felice Navidad like it's just always silly well we did from covid because then we all went to see each other from like our front gardens and then yeah i started

playing that and then my sister came out and she just like ran on the spot with excitement it was so we kept giggling because she just like was just running but not moving not moving oh and then yeah and then the kids were like oh my god so yeah then the same with my other sister and it was just lovely it was really nice for the children yeah and I love being an auntie like anyone that knows me knows I'm really like yeah obsessed with my sister's kids like I just love them so yeah it was really good and they all loved it yeah and then obviously was there for Christmas and Boxing Day and then caught up with um my friend I didn't see any other friends that was hard this is the first year I've not gone and like scheduled like a whole itinerary

honestly if people are listening to this who don't live abroad like it's such a thing because the first year that I ever went back for Christmas I did like three weeks at home and I saw people breakfast lunch and dinner oh yeah you do just focus on your meals of it was yeah and I was I'm not doing this yeah no so and I think because of Christmas and Boxing Day and obviously everyone else was busy so that helps yeah and obviously with like my work I'm hanging out on a Monday afternoon and no one's free so I would then be my evenings and weekends I'm not doing it um and it's a short trip and it's about family so it was really nice and then i flew back new year's eve oh so i was in the sky once yeah i think it must have been i left the uk at eight o'clock so that would have been midnight

here yeah so i think probably that was a good time to fly actually it was a nice time yeah because then you landed in the morning yeah 7 a 7am exactly it was a dream and i got um i asked for extra leg room and they gave it to me i don't feel like i know most people are like ask for business class yeah yeah i was like can i have a row with leg room so asked for extra leg room so didn't actually book the seat or anything no way yeah and um that is good i think because i was flying on my own yeah there's like more flexibility but yeah so i was like oh can i just have extra leg room if you've got it yeah great yeah so and i slept the whole flight but i have slept so much so i landed so obviously it's the second day i landed yesterday morning um and so i slept the flight got back went to sleep woke up had some

nandos and then fell back asleep i love nandos and then i slept for 10 hours last night i'm actually a bit concerned how much i generally think i've been asleep when i've been awake for the last 48 hours you obviously need it though yeah i think like just socially he's just like resetting yeah and I think I'm always used to like I have so much time for me in my life yeah so I'm used to just sitting and chilling I didn't have any of that oh I see while you were back yeah so now this is you taking that time but you know when you have a nap and you can feel yourself trying to force yourself to wake up do you ever have that or is it I can't nap believe it or not I can't now you might be able to learn

when the twins yeah but like when or even when you're sleeping anyone that has this please let me know i'm not crazy because i am weird with my sleep i like sleep walk talk oh see i talk like i really sleep yeah yeah sorry sit up chat i stood up the other week i stood up in my bed up against the wall no way yeah do you wake up when you're doing it well I did wake up oh okay because I was having a sleepover yeah you know just yes you know that's even more embarrassing it's not like a boyfriend that knows you well and I woke up to their hand on my ankle because I'm standing up on the pillow. Oh my God.

So you stood up on the bed? I stood up on the bed up against the wall. Oh my God. And then I woke up to them grabbing my ankle saying, James, what are you doing? Well, I know. That could have been quite dangerous. It would have just been awful.

Yeah. And I had no pyjamas on. Oh my God. That is so funny. Oh my God. That's hilarious. There's so many, so many sleep walking walking and talking things I don't know what I was doing though I don't know what I was dreaming but anyway that happened wow so yeah my sleep is weird but I was napping and I felt like I was being told to wake up and oh okay but I was like no I'm not waking up and I felt like I was trying to force myself

out the nap and then I was just like let it be yeah and that's what I did and it was good so yeah I've basically been sleeping I love that I know I've probably done a lot less sleep I would say oh babe sorry no not even not out of not because I can't because of like my body or anything just um I feel like I've just been quite busy yeah so I've been going to bed like loads later than what I would normally um but still having like considering how pregnant I am I'm actually I'm still having quite good sleep yeah that's like don't get me wrong turning over in the night is like an absolute military operation like to go to sleep at the moment I have a pregnancy pillow then I have a blanket to rest the bump on then I have a pillow on my back with a hot water bottle because my back's so sore and then i have to prop myself up slightly to not get the acid reflux oh babe so

then when i have to roll over you have to maneuver all of that over it's such a process oh babe but it's fine like i still end up with what feels like good sleep well that's good that's what matters really is how you feel when you wake up. Yeah, exactly. I just can't nap. Like I've never been, I can't really switch off. So to nap is like unheard of. Well, I think the only times I nap, I do nap often to be quite honest. The only times, only Tuesday, Wednesday.

Every time. I do love to nap, but usually I will just meditate and then fall asleep and my meditation is really simple I just focus on my breath yeah so I just lay there that is a talent though it really is a talent no it is like to be like for me to switch off it's hard like even if I'm having a massage I'm thinking about I do sometimes though but then i will sort of bring the discipline on the fly okay i was um with my extra leg room yeah and but then because i had extra leg room i had the row with all the bassinets and babies i did think that when you said that i thought but it was fine it was there were two babies yeah and one was not loving life yeah um but i was like it's just one of those things, isn't it? Yeah.

So I had, so I. It's always more painful for the parent than it is for anyone else. Well, that's the thing. And I said to the mum, I was like, chill out. Not chill out. Yeah. Chill out. Chill out.

But I was like, please don't worry. I'm like, chill out. I just found my love. Yeah. You think God's good. I wish I could. Yeah. if someone says that to me when i'm flying with the dolphins i will just absolutely cry laughing it's fine don't worry yeah you know that kind of approving need like you need someone who says that to you yeah i'm sure yeah but i do think is that i nearly offered to hold the baby but i was like i don't think i'm there but i just was like don't worry

we're all yeah we know the deal when we're flying yeah exactly so yeah but um so i'm just thinking about telling her to chill out um but yeah so anyway when that was all going on it was there was another family where they were having drama with their seats yeah and i just was like right honing on that yeah and there was turbulence oh everything and i was like just breathe yeah and i fell asleep so do you know what it's a useful tool to have it's a very good not just for like zen vibes but also when you're amongst chaos and finding it my way of flying was all and again obviously i've got like a routine but like i had such a way that i would fly so i would always do the same flight because i like the night flight from manchester and i would get a boots meal deal

in the airport love a boots meal deal for a flight um i would go normally i would go for the three sandwiches so like the triple yeah the triple yeah so get the chicken and stuff in the chicken salad and the what maybe a chicken blt or something like that um and then crisps a drink i'd get on the plane i'd have a drink on the plane or in the airport i'd take two panadol nights sleeping tablets oh do you eat my food and i am gone gone and i literally wake up as i'm landing i think i've taken like antihistamine excuse me oh an antihistamine yeah i know it's like the hard stuff and you're like an antihistamine i'll take the drowsy one yes yeah i do i can

usually sleep but yeah that's normally my go-to but the airport because it's new year all the bars closed at six o'clock my flight wasn't till eight oh my god that's so annoying yeah i just find that so weird though like it's an airport like i was and that's lovely for you to think that but i just think there's some jobs that you get into that you know that they're the deal yeah yeah yeah and surely the airport's one of them i know well that's what i thought so i was like looking forward to having some drinks at the airport yeah and i was just sitting on a chair oh god that's so annoying manchester airport can be like that it can be freezing cold as well it was not not vibes but it was all good i got here and you know i'm happy to be

back in the sunshine so did you do a countdown when you were on the plane did they do for the new year i didn't know if like on the plane they do one no i don't think so i'm just thinking people are asleep and they're just getting it all of a sudden 10 9 what's happening oh gosh yeah could you imagine that's probably not the place to do it i think because obviously there would have been a point maybe like i don't even know where we fly i feel like greece is middle of the flight yeah i feel like it is actually because about four hours from so i feel like around then is when we probably hit midnight yeah but no they didn't i just thought they might do one yeah i thought the pilot

i'm just keep getting the giggles the pilot did say um happy new year um which was nice but that was kind of yeah that's nice as far as it went yeah yeah i think yeah it was a non-event for me which makes sense because i don't really acknowledge new year yeah and from a more spiritual side which we are we are actually going to talk about something spiritual not just you know telling people to chill out um this obviously we spoke about we you know the thriving and surviving of new year yeah now we're through it thank goodness I feel like there's a little bit of relief when you hit new year like it's like all that pressure's gone christmas is gone i literally on the first of jan i mean this is the first of the first of

oh my god i don't even know how to say this the first new year that i've had for so long where i haven't had hangover on new year's day and i literally at like 9 a.m was like ready to kind of text like all my staff and be like so we're gonna do this this year and then I thought no don't be that person don't be that person and I think I was that person but by like maybe 10 that's okay and I think I just said to them I made it I wasn't like oh we're gonna do this like as much but I was just a little bit motivational not too much because I thought a lot of them are gonna have they probably hung over i had to rein it in but i was so ready to be like right i'm gonna do this i'm gonna do that and yeah get super organized that's nice i think yeah obviously that's what's lovely about this sort of

new year this new year yeah is that you get that motivation yeah i guess the problem is in society it doesn't usually last. And that's for a reason because of this time of year. So I wanted to talk about it a bit today and explain some bits to you and to the listeners. And just like let's get a sense of what this time of year is. So we are in Capricorn season. So we're going to talk a bit about that because that's why you're feeling quite motivated Capricorn is the doer they get things done so like the to-do list all of that

kind of resonates so the Capricorn star sign is that does that start like from January it starts in December the 21st oh no way yeah oh is that when it's then the short no long shortest day yeah winter oh go on girl yes the winter solstice and then goes into capricorn season all right yeah yeah so then that goes on until i think around the 20th or the 19th yeah the reason i know that is yes so they could be capricorn so who knows or they could be aquarius yeah so the capricorn sort of time helps with structure organization I wrote some things down but I always just think of my Capricorn friends when I try and describe Capricorn yeah so we're in sort of an organizing time in our heads but we don't really need to do much right now okay so what I would say to everyone is we are actually in the deep of winter and if we

go to our animalistic ways we would be hibernating right now yeah like a little hedgehog yeah just storing your food in your cheeks yeah like a hamster and just hiding away so you might be doing your to-do list but it's hidden so this is like a time where you're a bit more like reclusive possibly a bit more hermit or you feel you feel more natural to do that yes so then with new year coming along and all this pressure it kind of contradicts like what we should be doing or how we should be feeling or how we are feeling yeah so it's not necessarily connected to what the soul wants just you know so me sleeping for most of the last two days is probably the best thing to do yes yeah but it's hibernation i literally just was like i need to sleep yeah

and i didn't fight it and my body clearly really really needed it yeah and i didn't really feel shame about it either yeah and that it was natural i bet when people do like dry january as well and then they obviously stop going out for a certain amount of time. Yeah, it's like carbonation. So that is more what this time is for. So for me, when I look at January, I don't see it as a new year. The new year arrives in astrology when we start the Aries season, which is the end of March, which is springtime.

Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, so when you look in the magazines at the zodiacs, it always starts with aries and that's not because it's an a it's because aries is the first of the zodiacs yeah which makes sense yeah so so we pisces is the end of the year astrologically okay so at the moment we're in the build-up to that and also aries falls at the time of spring so we are ready to bloom so we're in the winter we're hibernating we're recovering it's cold it's you know more wholesome yeah and then

we move into March April and it's fresher and you're ready to bloom the you know the animals start to have their babies new beginnings yeah all those things so that's the time and energy to sort of implement action right so now's the time to plant your seeds plant them write your list start planning but just do it in a very calm and subtle way yeah you don't need to take over the world right now yeah so if you're thinking of launching anything there's loads of transits that will be happening that can help you with that so like we actually launched the podcast on a really important day that i'll share with everyone after this um there will be lots of things going on to launch projects when you want but march april is a good time yeah end of March beginning of April to sort of start new things

and see that new year that's funny because that's when I um opened the salon yeah but wouldn't necessarily have known that no but this is the whole point that time yeah that things happen and even with me like I'm not constantly looking at what's going on and like right this is happening on this day sometimes yeah yeah but actually I will look back and be like oh that's why that happened yeah oh I had that conversation with that person it was actually really needed and there was an energy that helped with that or setting up a business yeah booking holiday I went home last year for 10 days over the solar eclipse and it was just really intense for me. Lots of healing, lots of healing of my home.

And it was like, oh, how random. I booked that trip not knowing there was this really intense Scorpio solar eclipse and I have a Scorpio moon. So it's all my emotions. But that was obviously meant to happen. Right. So this is where you have to let it. Yeah.

You have to let go and let it be, not force it. But obviously right now, because society has forced all this new year resolutions and all that. Yes. We're fighting something that actually isn't natural for us. And do you know what? If you're feeling it and you're feeling really action orientated, like that's amazing. Like keep going. Yeah. But just don't stress if you're not it and you're feeling really action-orientated, like, that's amazing. Like, keep going. Yeah, but just don't stress if you're not, basically.

Yeah, because I think that's the problem. You feel ashamed when you're sleeping. So true. Or you're just like, I just, you know, not feeling great. So what I would say to a lot of people right now with this Capricorn energy is it's routine, which, babes, you love a bit of that. So this is a good time for you. You know, there's nothing wrong with going to the gym

and starting a new hobby. Capricorn helps you with that so it helps with structure routine um you know I would start simple start your morning routine get things like that sorted first and just sort of you know whether that's getting out for walks it could be I don't know having decaf I don't know it doesn't yeah It could even be just be like making a gratitude list in the morning. Whatever it is. Just make it small. Don't make it big. Don't take over the world.

Just don't take over the world right now. Yeah. Honestly. We can if you want to, but yeah. Just chill. Yeah. Because we all feel this pressure. Yeah.

That's nice. It's silly. Yeah. So yeah. So just take it small. Take it easy. That's what I'm doing. So intuitively right now. So I'm listening to my body, you know, it is a busy time for me in January with work,

so my priority is my clients, and to be that priority, I've got to look after me, so I'm just really, you know, focusing on meal prep, going for walks to get my time, and I've sort of said that I just don't want to be on social media as for walks yeah that's my time yeah um and I've sort of said like I just don't want to be on social media as much so like that's my little it's not a new year's resolution it's just Capricorn can help me do you find that in January then if you're super busy with obviously your clients do you have to really make sure that you're protecting your own energy during that time yeah absolutely yeah yeah and also you're kind of giving everyone like very similar messages to just be kind to themselves yeah because everyone comes to me like I'm failing in that time yeah absolutely yeah yeah and also you're kind of giving everyone like very similar

messages to just be kind to themselves yeah because everyone comes to me like I'm failing and I'm like you're not yeah and I'm sort of telling them what I'm telling you right yeah so it's this it's trying to educate people yeah definitely fine and it's okay but we're sort of in this you know crazy world that can be quite intense so I came to see you in January as well you did you did yeah yeah yeah that's interesting god so it's like a one-year anniversary of our friendship oh it is love that yeah yeah i can't remember when in january i think it was around the 20th ish okay so we were going into aquarius yeah yeah mid to end of january when um when i when we met yeah

yeah but yeah it was definitely january which is nice and i think like these things all happen you know just before our saturn's return as well saturn which we're going to talk about as well another episode yeah um went into pisces on march the 7th and we're both in our saturn's return yeah so yeah a couple of years for us so it's a lot going on so yeah it's it's really interesting so we're gonna like just over the episodes delve into bits of astrology i'm not gonna go like super deep because i work more intuitively and i want it to be relatable and and that people can understand so it's just kind of like surface and basics and we'll just explore it as we go. Yeah. But like right now we're in that Capricorn energy.

But also what we have just come out of. So I know this is coming out on Friday. So this is a few days before that we're talking about this. But Mercury retrograde, we'll keep hearing about that. Do you know much about Mercury retrograde? No idea. Okay, right. So I just need to cough.

One minute. Yeah, yeah. Right. So Mercury retrograde is something that gets thrown about on social media quite a lot so when it happens everyone's like oh mercury retrograde what is it oh my god it's awful it's this really difficult time yeah and i just don't think that's the case oh okay so mercury's a planet yeah i'm sure you know that and if you don't that's okay. Yeah. And Mercury is all about communication, okay? So it's the planet of communication. And Mercury retrogrades usually about three times a year.

So what that means is it kind of, time feels like it slows down slightly. I won't go into the science of the retrograde because that makes it confusing, but there'll be a sort of two to three week window where it's in retrograde. So it's quite a while. Yeah, and because it's about communication, it brings things up and it can make things a bit difficult. Every planet retrogrades. But Mercury is spoken about because it happens so often

because it's zooming around a lot more quicker than the rest. So with Mercury retrograde, that started on on I think like God I can't remember that maybe around the 16th or the 13th I can't remember and it went down yeah but it doesn't really matter well we'll Google it and yeah and it went direct yesterday so we had this period over Christmas and where Mercury was in retrograde and it can affect communication we're around family so maybe some communication issues with family you find this time of year can bring up a lot of stuff yes good and bad so mercury retrograde was there like hey guys let's just make this even more

sticky um a lot of people sort of put mercury retrograde on like um electrical stuff so like the internet like uh transport so like flying and having issues like that and i yeah so maybe so like mercury retrograde i locked myself out on my instagram for like four days right and i said sam was like posting stories and i was like sorry babes i can't repost it because i can't access my instagram i see so people would use that as like so that was a very Mercury retrograde. Like my taxi took me to the wrong villa. I think I might have mentioned this. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's very Mercury retrograde. But now it's direct. Things will start to be a bit more clear-ruffled. So communication will start to clear up. And the time of when that happens, that changes every year. So it happens... In terms of when it is.

Yeah, so it happens when it is yeah so it happens um sort of three times a year so we'll have another one probably april time i'm not sure okay yeah so it's like this yeah that is really interesting yeah it's interesting like you say about it being at christmas because i think a lot of people especially that kind of time of year there's a lot of pressure when it comes to friends and families in like social events yeah so if it's the communication side that people are struggling with yeah and that is like for me i see it's communication more than technology yeah i feel like we can't express how we feel as easily or we say in a way that's more lack of an outburst yeah so like your emotions rise yeah oh i didn't actually mean to say it like that yeah like i find that with

mercury retrograde for me personally yeah everyone will have a different experience and maybe it hasn't affected you that much this one definitely affected me but like others i wouldn't even really notice them yeah i'm laughing now thinking of a situation in my head yeah where we were in the oh god so bad i was really hungry right i'm obviously very pregnant i was very hungry i'd been in the hospital waiting for like two hours and the communication was really bad with like the billing team and um i've had it before where like i've said something like oh okay like yeah i'll pay that but it's normally not that much and they've gone oh okay made it cheaper and I've been a bit like what like yeah that shouldn't be the

case you know like it's really strange and then anyway on this particular occasion it was like way more than what we'd normally pay and she's like yeah it's because you're having twins and I was like hon I've always been having twins like there's been two in there for the last however many months like it shouldn't have changed. Was the hospital yeah yeah and it was just frustrating me so much and andy hates anything like that and it was so funny because he was just looking at me and he was like please go and wait in the car but whereas i was like needing to get this communication like as clear as possible and just getting so frustrated by it whereas he's like i'd much rather just pay double whatever we have to pay and get out because he hates those kind of

situations it's like that resistance yeah that's what you feel with a merc like i'm like i physically can feel the resistance like this person's not listening to me yeah there's steam coming out of my ears like i was raging and he was just like please yeah yeah but this is exactly what it is it's like all that so it's not you know you'll feel it like even when i'm i'm trying to give instructions to someone they're like not getting it and i'm like please can you just yeah focus yeah it's so clear what i'm saying and then i'm like oh i'm really patient usually why am i not patient yeah and that was me as well in that situation yeah so I would say that's how it's sort of been for me and some emotions of sort of being there for that and we also had on Christmas uh sort of Christmas night to Boxing Day the full moon in cancer

so cancer's all about family it's very community focused so like that's lovely so there was that little bit of love there for us yeah that's nice but it's funny how these things fall yeah at Christmas yeah when all that stuff's happening so yes we've had quite a lot going on um but basically guys chill out yeah the lady on the plane with her baby but just take it easy just be kind to yourself um this next week is not a week really i would say to take over the world that's how I'm feeling right now intuitively just get really organized if you plant your seeds get get that flower bed going you know just just you know do what feels right for you um and listen to that but yeah it's quite

an interesting time right now what what we're sort of going through and there's some other transits happening that we'll talk about um but hopefully that made sense to people that don't know much yeah i think it will have it made sense to me yeah yeah i'm sure it will you know i think what i'd say to people with with this side of astrology and spirituality and intuition there's it's how you feel so you take what you feel from it so even that situation with the hospital maybe maybe there is a lack of patience that you have sometimes it gets brought up and mercury's gone hey babes definitely you're gonna you're gonna have twins soon so your patience is going to be tested like you know sometimes it's taking the lesson for you like mine i'd say my

lessons was patient yeah i'm a really patient person like people tell me often how patient i am yeah i'd say you're very patient thanks but my patience was really tested and it like even to the point of like my mouse on my computer i was like oh my god yeah i'm not very patient at all like i definitely need like more work on yeah so i really had to force like some real grounding some real downtime yeah because it was triggered a like more work yeah so I really had to force like some real grounding some real downtime yeah because it was triggered a lot more so it's quite quite cool actually what it brings up yeah definitely basically it's direct now so it we'll have to hang over it for a little while that's why I take it easy this week yes but then we'll be you know recognize that when it's

happening and then and then yeah and then we move yeah just like mechry starts moving forward yeah yeah so yeah so that's sort of what i wanted to talk about um and then what else did i want i wrote some things down spoke about hibernation mode yeah so i think really like this one is more just you know january is take it easy what are you thinking in january obviously you've got like quite a lot of stuff going on you know January's take it easy what are you thinking in January obviously you've got like quite a lot of stuff going on you know what yeah I mean yeah I don't really know but just taking it day by day yeah literally day by day like I literally said to Andy the other day I was like have you got anything planned for January and he was like nope and I was like right good what about

like because but that's quite good awareness yeah definitely i feel like some men would be like i'm going doing this and doing that oh no he knows yeah he knows oh he knows he knows um like we'll put car seats in the car and just get everything organized i've just had my friends visiting with me and one of my best friends from home and his husband and it was just the most loveliest time like so nice and chilled but I've kind of been like okay so we've got Christmas then we've got this then I've got them coming over and then all of a sudden now I don't have anything until the babies come and obviously I don't really know like so quite a lot of people have asked me like when's your due date and I remember saying this to you I find it quite a triggering question yeah so I apologize if you're listening to this and you've asked me this and I haven't actually answered you because this is why

um I don't know when my due date is because I am having twins and it is much more high risk and there are other factors that making it a little bit more high risk and we just don't know when they're going to come so I have in my head when I want them to come yeah but I'm also now surrendering to the fact that they're going to come when they're ready to come and when they're healthy. And whenever that time is, it is. Absolutely. Yeah. So I feel like with January now, I'm just taking it easy and just hoping that they stay in for as long as possible.

One of them just kicked me massively then. I'm like gorau. Un ohonynt yn fy ngwneud i fyny'n fawr. Yn gwirionedd. Mae'n dechrau ei ddweud, ie, rwy'n barod. Ond y peth yw hyd yn oed, fel y dywedon ni, cyn i ni ddechrau'r podcast, roeddwn i'n dweud, rydych chi wedi'i wneud i'r mis Ionawr. Ie. Mae'r ffant yn yno, felly rydych chi'n gwneud swydd gwych. Ie. Ac mae'n gyd yn cyd-drechion iawn. Ie, yn unigol. A chi'n edrych yn wych. A chi'n gwneud hynny iawn. Ac rwy'n meddwl eich bod chi'n... hyd yn oed oherwydd roedden ni'n ysgrifennu ac roeddet chi'n canolbwyntio ar you look amazing and you really do like and I think you just even because we were messaging and you were like focusing on like a day a month and I was like babes just have a little chat with

them yeah and just say to them like you know I'd like you to stay in as long as possible yeah I trust that you know when you'll be ready like we don't want it early you guys just do your thing yeah and I think it's that you know obviously I don't know what it's like to carry a baby but I think having that in that because the intuition between you and babies must be so strong they'll be like cool all right mum I'll do my best yeah I hope so like I do do that now like morning and night I'll have like a little conversation with them of like you know just stay in until you feel strong enough to be out basically yeah absolutely um and yeah i've kind of just like i say i've just accepted that i think that's really powerful yeah like i

do don't get me wrong i do still have a date when i would love for them to come but and that's just because that's just who i am yeah like it's in my calendar yeah like but the day that they're gonna come but that's nice that you do that like i think that suits you like it does like the feeling of that day and whatever yeah exactly that's nice yeah exactly but i'm also just being open to whatever happens happens and accepting more help from other people around me which is nice and yeah just gonna have to just lean into it really like yeah get ready pack my bag do all those fun things through january yeah um and just relax it's quite nice i've not got that much on like physically i think that's it yeah i think genuinely this time of year it's not too busy so no exactly i've kind of had the chaos and yeah you can just sort of go into that

that preparation zone and yeah yeah you'll smash it babes i hope so well the next episode we're going to delve into all the motherhood stuff for you aren't we so that'll be yes yeah yeah that'll be fun yeah yeah it will we're sort of like the preparation yes obviously you know within no time the twins will be here yeah and then there'll be an episode on the other side yes so it's nice because everyone's on the journey yeah and i'm sure you'll listen back to it in like a year's time and be like oh my god yeah how naive i was isn't that the point yeah of course the point yeah so um but yeah which will be really exciting and yeah so everyone's going to be on

the journey I was going to do a little message of the week so let me see what my cards are saying okay so it says positive news and positive outcome so that's nice yeah that's a really nice message so I think really that that probably resonates with this energy of just moving forward. I'm feeling quite positive, actually. Yeah, I am. There's a nice positive energy in the air. I think there's a cleanliness.

Do you know what I mean? Do you feel that with January? Yeah, I understand. So what I would say to everyone is this is a time to sort of hold that positive energy, even if it is like a 0.01% of positivity. That is enough to then let that ignite and go bigger, okay? So I urge you to sort of tap into that and that feeling of hope, I guess, when sometimes we do feel out of sorts. Like I felt out of sorts this morning.

I think if I recorded this morning, I probably would have cried. Yeah. Just because I was overwhelmed with a few things going on. Yeah. And then I put some music on shifted the energy and then i was like i'm buzzing i'm ready to go yeah like your day can move and evolve constantly yeah and just finding that little bit of positivity like can help with that and i would say move your body because whenever you're feeling a bit rubbish yes just move yeah and you don't have to go for like a 10 mile walk like I usually put my house music playlist on yeah exactly and just move around yeah do something

usually like just doing something physical releases the energy even if it's like cleaning yeah I'm washing up yeah you know so even though it might feel difficult like that's because I am someone I like to I like to sort of be. And, and you know, when I'm sad, I actually sometimes enjoy it, which is a bit odd. Yeah. But I enjoy it.

It's probably not sit with it. Yeah. But I, I get a lot from it. Yeah. So sometimes I can stay there a bit too long. Yeah. Movement is medicine.

They say, don't they? You're right babes. Yeah. So what I would say is there's a real positive shift coming in. There's a really lovely energy I'm feeling in the air collectively. I like that and that's good so you know this is a time to sort of channel that and use it for your own powers and just yeah we've all got this we're all working it out definitely yeah and I think I actually said in one of my reels I was like I

think the whole point is to get it wrong I agree honestly because that's how you learn and that's how you grow totally yeah all this perfectionism and i'm definitely triggered by at the moment like you'll probably hear it in my voice with how i've spoke about social media and stuff but like i'm really trying to unravel why where that comes from yeah yeah it's just it's odd so i've got to explore it so yeah be kind to yourselves over this time and you know what we've got this Capricorn season here we go let's just get the to-do list let's try and routine some naps into our schedule and the beginning of the year yeah exciting time absolutely I think so
