Today, you get front-row seats as our guest Ronan receives his first Reading. Astrology takes center stage as actor Ronan learns why he does the things he does, where his heart, intellect, and creativity are drawn to, and how he can flow with his water-based chart when he feels too pulled to dive under. With Brenda as his guide, Ronan's joy shines through, for when we learn more about our cosmic connection and Divine plan, self-doubt and self-sabotage naturally melt away. So join us today for this brave-hearted conversation, where we remember that the heart contains all possibilities, and when we take a moment to explore another's story, we see the role we play in this magical stage of life. Because Earth School is hard, without the Other Side and the Divine art of play, creative expression, and possibility.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Spirit Portal is a cosmic doorway or energetic gate linking one space or realm to another. Have you ever wondered: 🍥 Why do portals form?  🍥 Are there ways we can initiate forming them?  🍥 How can you close a portal? 🍥 Are there ways portals can assist us in times of need?  A portal can be natural, created, or conjured (⬅️ don't do that). So grab your salt and an old key and follow along as we take a peek at Earth School's portals. And while you're here, wish Julie's furbaby, Suki, a very happy birthday!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How much choice do we have when it comes to Reincarnation? Do we choose our gender, race, challenges, and time period of rebirth (or as Julie likes to call it, do we choose our “birthday suit”)? Launched into conversation by one of our listeners questions, today we dive deeper into Reincarnation—the who, what, when, where and why of it all. Much like the Wheel of Fortune card in Tarot, getting “back on the wheel” of life is a process full of duality, one you’ll discern before re-entering this lovely realm known as Earth School. If you’ve ever wondered why me, why here, and why now… (and who hasn’t?), this episode will give answers and bring comfort. Because Earth School is hard, and in the words of rock band Journey, ‘the wheel in the sky keeps on turning…’ How will you show up in the next great big tomorrow?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do you have a favorite tree, animal, or place of solitude in nature? That's because Nature heals and inspires, and Spirit loves to commune with you in this most organic way. Inspired by Julie's recent trip to White Sands National Park, today we discuss the biggest Spirit we have on the planet: Nature.  Nature's magic is always available to you. Whether it's through gardening, hiking, or traveling to familiar or new outdoor spaces, every single one of us exchanges energy with the natural world in both small and big ways. Today, we ask you to contemplate: 🌲how you engage with the natural world🏖️what your natural anchors and guides may be☀️how you will claim renewal through nature's guidance Because Earth School is hard but oh so beautiful. Slow down, go outside, look around, and take it all in.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What is a reincarnationist? And what does the collective soul of our animal kingdom have to do with it? Inspired by each of their news feeds, Julie and Brenda come together today and talk all things reincarnation. From deja-vu to ‘downloads’, life here on this planet is all practice for the next go-around. So, as the birds dance in sync and the elk run in formation, you, too, are in tune with all that’s been and all that will be. Because Earth School is hard, or is it really just a continual pre-party?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you were an alien, how would you send probes down to the Earth?That's exactly what we explore today in conversation as we dissect Harvard Theoretical Physicist Avi Loeb's 2023 research on alien lifeforms. Loeb believes meteors found on the ocean floor are probes sent here by extraterrestrial beings.

Pop Quiz: If Earth ceases to exist, where will the reincarnated souls go? If the same Tarot card keeps appearing in your readings repeatedly, what does that mean? Bonus ?: Do you need a PSA about amateur exorcisms? (yes, you do... and we're here to give one...) No, these are not the midnight thoughts of an existentialist. They are the questions submitted by our number one fan Cop Suey, who is forever on the quest to figure this whole Earth School thing out. Citing both Biblical script and tapping into theories of multiple frequencies and dimensions, we answer her questions in order to expand the lens of consciousness that we all seek. We discuss healing through grief, what it means to hold space for the unknown, the importance of sadness, community, and release, and why tik-tok gurus can not be recommended for cleaning anything out of your house.

On January 20th, Pluto entered Aquarius, inspiring us to ask: will you accept this invitation to truly be yourself?Today, Brenda talks about all things Pluto and what the change of the Astrological House means for you. As the planet of death and rebirth, Pluto desires to get to the truth and essence of all things. So, what would be real for you if you lived and moved through the world in an absolutely authentic way?We'll reflect back to 2008 and follow the energy of Pluto as it weaved and dipped its way from Capricorn to its new Aquarian home.

What role do you have in your happiness? It can be challenging to accept that you have to be part of the problem if you're going to be part of the solution, especially concerning your professional life. Today, we travel back in time to when Brenda was hired to be Julie's business coach.

Have you ever wondered if your daughter was once your mother? Or if your grandfather reincarnated into your son? Sometimes, when connections feel even thicker than blood, we must ask: Is reincarnating into the same bloodline from a past life possible?And that's precisely what one of our listeners was pondering. Inspired by her question, today we dive into the difference between soul lines, blood lines, and how, yes... they can most definitely merge. Your family tree goes beyond names and dates. Its branches hold karma, purpose, and possibilities only the Other Side can see. Brenda discusses how reincarnated familial souls appear in her readings and how many already had a 'feeling' this was happening (hello, Other Side whispers!); for others, it takes an extra level of observation and sensory awareness to put together the puzzle of past-life truth, as exhibited by Cathy Boyd's book, The Boy Who Knew Too Much—a fascinating read of a toddler who reincarnated as Lou Gehring.Like Russian Nesting dolls from The Great Beyond, souls are layered and stacked in order to carry out a lesson or purpose left undone. So join us today as we dissect the DNA of reincarnation. Because Earth School is hard without the strands that bind us all together.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to our first episode of the New Year! Today we kick off 2024 with a series of existential questions certain to make your mind spin. ❓ What's the difference between infinite beings and old souls? 💫 Does a soul have a beginning? 🍷 Does it hover and chill til it's ready to re-emerge like a fine wine or perfect cheese? Which of course leads one to wonder... IS there a beginning and an end? ♾️ The exploration of these great big questions leads to a conversation about the soul's journey, the myth of 'time', and the reality of a multiverse. Soul expansion and expression is our task here on Earth School, where the objective is to learn and channel our Divine Self.

As the new year approaches, we're bringing you one of our favorite episodes from 2023: Sun Signs—or as Brenda Rose likes to call them, "the gateway drug of astrology"—are the most popular and well-known astrological placement in one's birth chart.

You'll discover why this knowledge is beneficial: increasing self-awareness, setting you up for success, and identifying your place and purpose in this cosmic wheel. By understanding the Sun signs—their motivations and mantras—you'll gain the ability to view the world with each zodiac sign's perspective, bringing connections and clarity.Because Earth School is hard without the willingness to understand ourselves and each other better. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How's your relationship with sugar? After a listener wrote in to describe her sugar craving as an addiction, Julie and Brenda decided it was a good idea to chew on this subject a bit longer...Sugar is everywhere, and it is quite addictive.

Today we'll discuss how you can stay sane and set intentions to keep your frequency on point.  You already know your life is so much bigger than one evening with family or one dinner that spoils your appetite before it even begins.
