Welcome to the thirteenth and final episode of the second season of my podcast, Empower Your Magical Self.

This episode is a look back at the 12 episodes that have comprised this season, and editing this episode has brought back memories that span the second half of the year. I had only completed one of these interviews when I broke my right knee on July 7. Now, almost 6 months later, I'm almost back to 100%.

Also during the course of the season, I published a book. It's called "Empower Your Magical Self With a One Month Habit Break: A Handbook to Regain Sovereignty" . Autographed copies of my book are available on TikTok, and it's also available on Amazon. I hope you'll consider picking up a copy. Learn more at my website, LeahWelborn.net.

This has been a great year, in spite of challenges. I'm thrilled with the second season of my podcast, and look forward to season 3 (late) next year.

Welcome to the twelfth episode of the second season of my podcast, Empower Your Magical Self. My hope is that it will inspire you to consider your perspective, and whether a revamp may benefit your life and the lives of those around you. My guest today is the brilliant and colorful Kyla Price, aka StarLady Hedge, astrologer extraordinaire, joining me from her home in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Like so many of my guests, I discovered Kyla on TikTok, where her extremely active account has garnered over 85 thousand loyal followers. What drew me to StarLady Hedge is her authentic, "we're all in this together" brand of SUPER-informed astrology and fun interaction with her legions of fans. Maybe it's the autism - like me, Kyla is an autistic woman who was diagnosed later in life. Also like me, she's had lifelong struggles because of it. We both have BIG emotions that have caused even the well-intentioned around us to cluck their tongues and tell us we're being inappropriate. I feel big kinship with her. We talk a lot in this episode about how crucial a change in perspective can be for those of us mired in existential struggle - and how annoying that suggestion can sound when we're actually mired there. Interestingly, Kyla uttered the word "sovereignty" and of course I had to mention my book, "Empower Your Magical Self With a One Month Habit Break: A Handbook to Regain Sovereignty" . She didn't know anything about it, so it was a very kismet-ish moment and you can see us both get a bit excited about it in the episode (a few days after the interview Kyla bought copies for herself and several friends...so kind!). Autographed copies of my book are available on TikTok, and it's also available on Amazon. I hope you'll consider picking up a copy. Learn more at my website, LeahWelborn.net.

Welcome to the eleventh episode of the second season of my podcast, Empower Your Magical Self. My hope is that it will inspire you to consider your habits, and whether any of them detract from your sovereignty and joy.

Today's episode is a little different, in that I don't have a guest. Today I'm talking about habits, and about how changing mine changed my life.

The concept of "habits" looms so large in my world that I wrote a book about habits - specifically about how to break up with one (or just take a break from one) in 30 days.

It's called Empower Your Magical Self With a One Month Habit Break: A Handbook for Reclaiming Sovereignty in 30 Days, and it's based in my own experiences with ceasing a few decades-long habits that were standing between me and my highest self.

Briefly, prior to 2020, I spent most of my life struggling with depression and anxiety to the point that I was planning an early exit when the pandemic hit. I can't explain precisely what happened, but I refer to it as grace. I knew I wanted to live, but only if my life was entirely different. I wanted to find a way to live in joy, even though I didn't know what that would entail, or how it would look or feel.

Once I took honest inventory of my life, it became apparent to me that my habits would have to change.

"Show me your habits and I'll show you your future." There's a lot of truth in that saying.

I knew my past - it was full of misery, and habits that matched. The two most problematic habits I had were watching news for hours every day and drinking at least one bottle of wine every night.

Please understand that this is not about morals - that was an internalization that I had to fully grok in order to let go of the habits that no longer served me. It was not about judging and bullying myself, it was about honestly assessing what was going on and ditching what no longer served me.

My book Empower Your Magical Self With a One Month Habit Break: A Handbook for Reclaiming Sovereignty in 30 Days is the Project that evolved as a mindful way of jettisoning those habits.

The Project detailed in the book is divided into four themed weeks, and each day offers a prompt or a physical exercise aimed to help you get to the bottom of your habit's origin and shake it loose so that it no longer has power over you.

• Week 1: Excavation
• Week 2: Tools
• Week 3: Ideas
• Week 4: Going Deep
• Wrapping Up

Empower Your Magical Self With a One Month Habit Break: A Handbook for Reclaiming Sovereignty in 30 Days is the book I wish I'd had when I was endeavoring to change my habits. It took me a few years to develop this 30 day process, and I know it can help you with any habit you'd like to change.

The book is rooted in years of experience and research in methods and theories that helped me utterly rehab my life.

• Mindfulness/Intentionality
• Somatics
• Polyvagal theory
• Self-directed neuroplasticity
• energy work/metaphysics
• Jungian psychology
