This week on The Awake Space Podcast, Laurie explores one of the most hopeful astrological alignments of 2026: the Venus-Jupiter conjunction in Cancer.

As Laurie prepares to record the audiobook for Healing the Money Wound: The Framework for Rebuilding Confidence, Value and Wealth, she reflects on confidence, self-worth, and the importance of recognizing your own value rather than waiting for the world to assign it to you.

Laurie shares why hope matters, why fear-based media profits from your attention, and how this week's astrology invites you to focus on comfort, security, and appreciation rather than scarcity and anxiety.

Then Laurie is joined by Amy Philbin, astrologer, business mentor, and former TikTok creator who traded hustle culture for a purpose-built life in Crete, Greece. Together they discuss entrepreneurship, reinvention, intuition, scaling a business, living abroad, and what it means to truly bet on yourself.

If you've been waiting for permission to start building the life you want, this episode is your reminder that nobody is coming to pick you. You have to choose yourself.
