  Carving Your Own Path: Astrology, Creativity & Building a Business on Your Terms with Ayu Sutriasa

  Aug 4, 202656 min

  Ayu didn’t wait for opportunities. She carved her own path after being laid off from her magazine editing career. She turned to astrology, a lifelong passion, and built a business helping multi-passionate creatives use their birth charts to unlock their creativity and trust their own direction. Ayu is an astrologer + guide for multi-passionate creatives. Formerly a magazine editor, her work centers on empowering creatives to LIVE from their boldest, most honest creative expression (perfectionism be damned) and actually execute + finish the work they care about most. During the few occasions she gets some alone time (MILF probz) she enjoys writing smutty fanfic and making zines about void-walking. In this episode of Dear Creator, we talk about her journey from editor to astrologer, what she calls "creative exile," using the fifth house to understand how your creativity shows up, and why sometimes the boldest business moves start with spite instead of a plan.

  The Truth About Pivoting Careers After Motherhood with Georgia Lyons

  Jul 28, 202646 min

  Georgia helps ambitious women redesign how they work — taking their knowledge, passions, and strengths and turning them into flexible, purpose-driven work on their own terms. She’s spent 14 years building an incredible career in project management, helping lead the regeneration of Christchurch after the devastating 2011 earthquake. She was good at it. She wasn't burnt out. So why did returning to work after having her first baby leave her feeling claustrophobic and unsettled? In this episode, Georgia shares her honest, unfiltered story of pivoting from project management into becoming a career pivot coach for mothers and why her own career change had nothing to do with hitting rock bottom. We talk about the awareness stage of a pivot, why "good on paper" isn't the same as "feels right," her go-to 3 Ps framework (Possible, Practical, Priority), the ladder of believability, and how to block out the noise when everyone online seems to have it figured out. If you've ever felt the pull to change your career but couldn't quite name why, this conversation is for you. Connect with Georgia Website Instagram Group Program

  In this episode of Dear Creator, Jess Ellen joins me to talk about the messy middle of a business rebrand.. She’s an astrologer and integration coach who helps people make sense of who they are, where they are, and what's being asked of them in this season of life. Through a blend astrology and coaching, she helps clients move from overthinking and uncertainty to deeper clarity, self-trust, and aligned choice. We dig into why your moon sign is one of the most useful tools for navigating change, the spectrum of the different energies you experience when you lean into your earth energy or water energy, and how Jess moved from outsourcing advice to now insourcing her own trust and decision-making. This conversation is full of grounded, practical wisdom on how to show up for the rebrand, transition, pivot, or rebrand in your own way.
