In this episode, Gina Torres and Lauren Tatro explore the energetic and emotional themes of Mercury retrograde — what it really means, how it impacts communication, and how to navigate its cycles with more awareness and ease.
They discuss the pre-shadow phase of Mercury retrograde and how it can amplify emotional responses, particularly for women experiencing their own cyclical shifts. Through astrology, self-reflection, and humor, Gina and Lauren invite listeners to understand how these cosmic patterns mirror our personal rhythms — and how we can use that insight to communicate more clearly and compassionately.
The conversation expands into the importance of honesty in relationships, the emotional transitions tied to work and identity, and the necessity of setting boundaries and honoring your authentic self. They also unpack the ways conditioning — from corporate to cultural environments — shapes behavior, and how letting go of what no longer aligns can open space for personal growth and peace.
As the episode unfolds, they share how astrology can serve as a tool for deeper self-awareness, how seasonal living encourages introspection, and why creating rituals for transition helps us move through change with intention.
This is your permission slip to slow down, check in, and embrace every phase — retrograde or not — as an opportunity to return to yourself.
