If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed lately — like your mind is racing, your body is tense, or everything just feels like too much — this episode will help you understand what’s really happening and how to move through it.

I’m joined by a very special guest — my mom, Christel Autuori — who teaches holistic health, stress management, and energy-based practices.

Together, we explore what stress actually is in the body, why it’s not always a bad thing, and how small shifts in awareness can completely change your experience.

We talk about:

• how your body responds to stress (and why it’s trying to help you)
• simple tools like breath, mindfulness, and using your senses to reset in the moment
• the power of daily practices — not just reacting when things feel overwhelming
• why mindset, perspective, and even humor play a bigger role than you might think
• how your body is always working toward balance — and how to support it instead of fighting it

This is a really special conversation that blends science, energy, and real-life experience — and gives you practical ways to feel calmer, more grounded, and more in control when life feels intense.

This episode felt extra meaningful to record — not just because of the topic, but because I got to share it with my mom 🤍

What does it mean to be born with a retrograde planet?

In this episode, I’m answering a listener question about Mercury retrograde in the natal chart — and what it really looks like to carry that inward, reflective energy throughout your life.

We explore how retrogrades shift through progressions, what it means when a planet changes direction, and why those moments can feel like major turning points.

I also dive into Mercury at 0° and 29° — the beginning and end of a sign — and how those placements can show up across generations in meaningful ways.

And if you’ve ever wondered how all of this connects to your current chapter…
we tie it back to solar returns and the energy of your year ahead.

This week’s episode feels a little extra special.

Because Astrology with Alisa is officially one year old 🎉 — and what better way to celebrate than with a solar return.

In this episode, we explore solar return charts — your personal birthday chart that maps out the energy of your year ahead.

Through a real-life example from my own chart this year, I walk you through how to look at your Sun, Rising sign, Ruling Planet, and Moon… and how these shifts can change the way a year feels — from pushing forward to learning how to receive.

But this episode also marks something new…

✨ I’m officially launching my Solar Return Birthday Card ✨

What started as something I created for family has turned into a custom, beautifully designed astrology keepsake — one you can come back to all year long.

You can order one for yourself… or gift it to someone you love.
