Ava welcomes the podcast’s resident astrologer KJ Atlas back for a special three-month astrology guide to Fall 2025 in the Northern Hemisphere. Learn about the most influential astrology of Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius seasons from September 22 – December 21, 2025, and how you can best use the energy to manifest original rich-bixch experiences this fall.

The season begins with the Fall Equinox on September 22 although it may feel less than celebratory. The first week of fall is dense with post-eclipse energy so it’s best to give it a week before diving into your spooky season to-dos.

The theme of this time period is unfinished business. If there were things that you really wanted to make happen earlier this year but faced blockages, now is the time to get back to work and manifest. Three key dates in October, November, and December will support your forward momentum.

Ava and KJ discuss all the major astrological transits of Fall 2025 including a Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius and Scorpio, a Moon Wobble in Sagittarius, some big shifts of the outer planets, and of course, a gorgeous set of new moons for manifesting and full moons for releasing. Tune in to learn how to best work with the energy, live in greater alignment, and manifest powerfully this season.

Ava is joined by hypnotherapist Leo Max for a conversation about hypnosis, how the practice heals the mind, body, and soul, and leveraging hypnotherapy to help us become more of who we truly are.

Leo Max is a spiritual hypnotherapist based outside of NYC. He offers deep journeys into the subconscious mind for people to heal from the roots up. His work is a blend of roughly 8 styles of therapy rolled into one powerful service. As the founder of Restorative Hypnosis, he serves people who are tired of talk therapy, know there’s more to healing, and are ready for the transformational power of truth.

Ava and Leo dive into the fascinating world of hypnotherapy starting with the basics of how hypnosis works, what hypnotherapy actually is, and what first-timers can expect. Leo speaks to the benefits of working with the subconscious mind in this practice, and breaks down why hypnotherapy goes where talk therapy cannot. Keeping it to just the basics would be boring - so they also touch on some of the more mystical aspects of his practice like parts work and entity removal. Spoiler alert: If you need an entity guy… Leo’s the one to call.

Ava shares her personal experience with one-on-one hypnotherapy and how the sessions have transformed her reality. They wrap up with an exploration of Leo's beautiful perspective that "the more you heal, the more your soul emerges.” Ultimately, deep healing work just reveals more you. Tune in to explore the realm of hypnosis, healing, and truth.

Ava recounts her summer getaway to Portland Oregon, the city of roses, fresh air, and natural wine bars, and a day trip to the Oregon Coast in this travel talk.

Her journey began with some travel woes when what could have been a 3-hour flight from LA turned into a 20-hour odyssey through Salt Lake City and Seattle. Fortunately, an urgent visit to Portland's Rose Garden provided the perfect vibe check, aura cleanse, and attitude adjustment, and the summer vacation commenced. Thank god for roses.

Ava shares her travel tips and suggestions for spending a weekend in Portland, including an Anthony Bourdain recommended (haunted?) hotel. Her detailed day-by-day itinerary features a day of garden exploration and shopping, a Portland wine bar crawl brimming with natural wine and good times, and a day trip to Cannon Beach on the beautiful Oregon coast.

Whether you're already planning your own Portland adventure or are just considering adding it to your bucket list now, this episode offers insights on how to make the most of a weekend in Portland Oregon, and some excellent places to pass time.
