Apparently, it’s time for your new era

I don’t understand astrology or put much stock in it, except that I identify strongly as a Scorpio because I’m obsessive and I notice I get along very well with Libras. (My husband being one.) Also, gotta believe in moon phases. They control the tides! That’s powerful stuff. I can’t control the sink sprayer. And, as I’m on my new “Woo Journey,” I’m open to whatever. So I was intrigued when I heard from my intuition coach, Deb Driscoll, that today marks a big event up in the galaxy. Aries, Saturn, and Neptune are having some kind of face-off or meetup-slash-work-retreat and disrupting shit but also shifting us into a new era? There was also something about the age of Aquarius, which confused me because of the song from Hair I used to listen to over and over in 1979. Wasn’t the dawning back then? Is it dawning again? The new era part is what excited me. While I don’t like change, I’m always looking for my Big Shift. The one where everything I want next in life starts to happen. That’s kind of the impetus for working with Deb to strengthen my intuition and see where it takes me. If you’re into this stuff, or semi-into this stuff, come join my Woo-Adjacent party on Substack — which, in itself, is part of my new era. I’ll be talking about this stuff more, with just a dash of side-eye. Subscribe here and then start with these: See you on the other side! (Oh, that sounds pretty woo, doesn’t it.) xoLaura

Reader! I just asked Claude to put on his/their (haven’t asked pronouns) Claudette hat and tell me what common blocks women have around making money. The answer made me realize I’m a FREAK. (Or a man.) My notes below will show you why: They feel like they have to earn the right to charge. More credentials, more experience, more proof — as if men are out there waiting until they're fully ready before they name a price. Maybe it’s because my parents paid me starting when I was twelve (and...
Hey Reader, Hello from Pereira, Colombia, where Steven and I are staying with friends who built a pretty f*cking magnificent home. I’m drinking a lot of guanábana, the juice I didn’t know I needed (on demand). I’m here now because, like a lunatic, I agreed to a plan where I lead 2 straight days of writing and 1 of masterminding, including a group dinner and a cocktail party, and then — not 36 hours later — boarded a plane. As for the writing retreat, Bingeworthy Live: I’m delighted to...
Hey Reader, Heather Campbell’s been “wanting” to do video. For years. A returning member of my mastermind/live mentoring party, Shrimp Club, she’s talked about it in a few hot seats. “I can’t seem to get started with video. I don’t know what’s stopping me. Must be the ADHD.” Each time, I point out that she’s a natural on video. Always the first to unmute on our Zooms. Tons to say. No fumbling, no ums, ers, or uhs. She hosts a podcast. No problem talking on camera, that one. And she knows who...
