Episode 2: Mercury retrograde in Scorpio, and how to work with it even if you’re not woo

So in this episode I’m taking a little side step from the Unforgettable Brand Method to talk about the retrograde we’re in right now, which stays in Scorpio the entire time (and that’s rare), turns direct in the early hours of Saturday 14 November for us Aussies, and has Venus retrograde for company. We cover the science, the woo, and the very practical side, because Scorpio wants the truth, the numbers, and the conversations you’ve been avoiding... and those happen to be exactly what most small businesses never make time for.

What we talk about

• What Mercury retrograde actually is, and why it’s basically the train next to you pulling out of the station
• Why Mercury, the god of merchants AND thieves, rules your sales, your links, your contracts and your emails
• The shadow periods, and why retrograde is really about the RE words: review, revisit, revise, reconnect, repair and rest
• Why this one being in Scorpio makes it about your money, your messaging and the truths you keep softening
• My four-part rhythm for working with it: the audit, the midpoint, the reconnection and the rebuild
• The one question to ask your past clients that will fix your sales page faster than any template
• Whether you can launch during retrograde (yes, if you plan for it)
• How to use these three weeks even if you don’t believe a single word of the astrology

Back up your files, walk your funnel like a stranger, call your past clients, and save the big moves for after the 14th... and if your email still goes to the wrong person this week, just blame Mercury, everyone else does.
