“Why Are We Here?”

Karmic Astrology Business Coach, Dr. Deb Peretz PhD, has the answer: “To learn our life lessons.”

I have a ton of questions, like “How do we know what our lessons are?”

Listen carefully to this episode. Deb explains it to us using karmic astrology, neurology, moon phases, and past life regressions. We even learn where to find romance in our astrological chart.

Check out Deb’s website and Planets & Profits podcast. She’s got a book about astrology and business coming out in the Fall 2022.
Stay tuned.

I am sharing a Bonus episode with a message from Shaman Durek. I read his book Spirit Hacking recently and he talks about how we need to connect better with our fellow humans so we can amplify love more effectively.

The energy around the world has been very heavy lately. With the war shedding light on anti-Blackness around the world; violations of Humans Rights against women and LGBTQIA folx; and the threat of banning of Black history, and gender discussions in schools. It’s easy to grow weary from the undercurrent of stress rippling through individual and community energy fields.

Even though you may feel helpless, there’s an energetic exercise we can practice to raise the love frequency around us.

It involves a simple form of connection: a loving embrace.

For my listeners who don't feel safe hugging in person, try a virtual Cuddle Party.

In this episode, you’ll hear a variety of topics from art to diversity to living in community, to maintaining good relationships.

You’ll hear about Deborah’s art-ivism, her muses, and her process. Her artwork spotlights African American journeys, Mass Incarceration, and metaphors in up-cycled broken chairs.
Deb had a show and talk at Palm Springs Art Museum for Black History Month called "People Who Filled Their Seats" for which she was awarded a Congressional Recognition by Raul Ruiz. She is seeking out more opportunities to show her work.

Deb is an inspirational light in my life, and hopefully she will spark some light in yours too.
