Tanya Denning-Orman, Director of Indigenous Content

According to Tanya Denning-Orman, “You were delving into my Soul when you presented me with my chart”. Growing up a proud Birri and Guugu Yimidhirr woman in Central and North Queensland, she acknowledges the Stars played as much of an integral role in her life as her family!
In this week’s Astrology for Leaders, Tanya reveals her journey from the bush to the boardroom. In our conversation, she shares how her innate ability to persist towards achieving meaningful results over time has served her well throughout her career. Born with a stellium of planets (the Sun, Jupiter, Moon, Mercury and the North Node) in fixed earth sign Taurus and located in the part of her chart which indicates her professional calling, Tanya has strong values, self-belief and a calling to do work that is deeply rooted in her country. But it goes deeper than that, with Venus in Aries next to Chiron, the wounded healer, she is called to take action on behalf of others who have been wounded.
Her gift comes through story-telling. Whether that was as a young journalist covering stories for the ABC and SBS or more recently to Media Executives. Her role is a lynch-pin in getting the first nation’s stories heard and in doing so, bring opportunity for people to heal.
I was covered in goose-bumps for much of our conversation. Tanya is nothing short of grounded inspiration. I hope you enjoy it!

Lynda Williams, Co-Founder The Soothe and Managing Director VIM + Vigour PR

In this week's episode, I speak with Singapore based Lynda Williams, Co-Founder of holistic wellbeing platform "The Soothe" and Founder/Managing Director of Vim + Vigour PR. Heralding from England Lynda has carved out an extraordinary career embracing her Innate Abilities and Passions.
Born with the Cancerian signature of creating safe and nurturing places to live and work in, she treats her business and clients much like family. But there is a sound businesswoman that sits behind her caring nature. Her Moon in Capricorn indicates exceptional business nouse with a need for strategy, a plan and a focus on getting results.
During Covid lockdown in 2020, Lynda co-founded The Soothe inspired to fill the gap in the market for quality wellbeing content. (It's little surprise given Virgo, which represents the blending of the Mind, Body and Soul rules Lynda's Professional Legacy in her birth chart! ) This holistic online platform attracts audiences looking for bold, inclusive and honest resources from trusted sources. From the start, The Soothe has embraced feedback from its followers to create a hub which truly meets their needs for balanced and happy living.
If you too are inspired by travel, health and wellness, you'll love learning about Lynda's work and what she's inspired to leave behind to create a better world for others.

Nancy Valentine-Smith, Ancient Wisdom Facilitator + Healer

In this week’s Astrology for Leaders, I interview Nancy Valentine-Smith – Ancient Wisdom Facilitator + Healer.
In conversation, Nancy shares why now it is more important than ever to be doing our “inner work” in order to heal old wounds and ways of being that hold us back from being our greatest selves in the world. With the increase in energetic frequency on the planet, more and more people are being called to step up to help others as leaders, coaches, healers, activists and teachers. But to do that well, they first need to be working on themselves.
Born with the Sun conjunct (next to) Mercury in Sagittarius in the 3rd House, she has an ongoing quest for knowledge and an insatiable desire to impart her wisdom to others as teacher, facilitator and mentor. And when you combine that with her Moon in Virgo she has a need to be practical, diagnose problems and help people heal. The fact her Moon sits next to Jupiter, gifts her with a very strong connection to the earth. She does in fact feel the power of earth energy through her body.
There are many pearls of wisdom in this conversation. If you are curious about what it is like to be a healer, or are a convert and would like to learn more about Nancy and the work she does across the globe, I invite you to go for a long stroll and absorb what she has to say.
