Description: The Awake Space is 100% Listener Supported! Join the community at theawakespacepodcast.comThis 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.Show Links:VOTE FOR ERROL RIVERS - Laurie's' brother is an outstanding artist in Portland OregonAmy Filbin - Sign Up For Her Email ListAwake Space Magazine June IssueAstrology Consultations wokeastrology.com2027 Preparation and Prediction Event SIGN UP NOW00:00 Introduction and opening thoughts01:10 Golden Tempo, hope, and why inspiration matters02:00 Venus-Jupiter conjunction and recording Healing the Money Wound03:00 Why fear-based content dominates social media04:30 Protecting your own dopamine and perspective06:00 Enjoying moments of inspiration without attachment07:30 Recovery update and audiobook recording plans09:00 Political astrology, Saturn retrograde, and summer forecasts11:00 2027 Preparation & Predictions Event preview12:00 Venus-Jupiter in Cancer: security, self-worth, and appreciation14:00 How appreciation creates value16:00 Building comfort instead of chasing endless wealth16:45 Health update and lessons from slowing down17:30 Current events and observations28:25 Community updates and announcements29:30 New members welcomed to The Awake Space31:45 Interview begins: Amy Philbin joins the podcast32:00 Meeting through TikTok and discovering shared roots in Portland41:00 Books, philosophy, and growing up in the Pacific Northwest49:00 Amy's journey from Tarot creator to business mentor58:00 Moving to Crete and building a life abroad1:03:00 Why people need examples of what's possible1:05:00 Amy's daily life in Greece1:10:00 Betting on yourself and embracing uncertainty1:14:00 Building scalable businesses for spiritual entrepreneurs1:20:00 Money as a resource, not a destination1:24:00 Using astrology in business strategy1:26:00 Amy's upcoming retreats and future plans1:27:30 Interview concludes1:28:00 Final reflections on women building lives on their own terms1:30:00 Laurie's early astrology career and lessons learned1:34:00 Why nobody starts at the finish line1:35:00 Closing message: choose yourself and begin now
