I've been into astrology for as long as I can remember. My mom started reading my horoscope to me in high school, and to this day she still sends it to me regularly. So you can imagine how thrilled I was when I learned that The Astrotwins wanted to come on the show to talk all things cosmic with us!
In case you aren't familiar, Ophira and Tali Edut (The AstroTwins) are among the most sought-after astrologers and intuitive advisors of our times. As the longtime resident astrologers for ELLE Magazine and the authors of over 20 books, they are the advisors to a roster of CEOs, celebrities, global leaders and successful entrepreneurs, including Beyonce, Dua Lipa and Emma Roberts.
In today's episode, we're discussing their revolutionary IAM system (which makes breaking down your birth chart so easy), how the zodiac plays a role in relationship dynamics, why astrology is your secret weapon when it comes to personal development, and so much more.

I've written and self-published 9 bestelling books that have been translated in 10 languages, coached thousands of women entrepeneurs, and have made a massive impact in on a global scale.
In today's episode, I'm sharing my top 3 strategies so that you can take your brand from ordinary to EXTRAordinary and start creating the wealth and impact you deserve. Grab a notebook for this one babe, you're gonna want to take notes!

In today's episode, I'm joined by my dear friend and fellow bestselling author, Amanda Frances, to share our top tips on how to write and self-publish your book so that you can expand your empire and leave your legacy.
Here's what most people don't understand:
You do not need to have an English degree or a massive following to write and self-publish a life-changing book. And you certainly don't need a publisher. The days of waiting to be chosen or picked by a publisher are gone.
It's time to choose yourself.
In this powerful episode, we're sharing both of our experiences about what it looked like to write our respective books, where to begin if you dream of writing a book, why the traditional publishing model is outdated, and how easy it is to get YOUR book out into the world on YOUR terms.
Feel like self-publishing may be the vibe for you? Our new course, SELF-PUBLISHED, is open for enrollment! Click here for all the details.
