In Episode 235, host Andrea Atherton is joined by fellow therapist Lisa Angelini for a thoughtful, clinically informed conversation about the relationship themes that are increasingly appearing in therapy rooms in 2025. Drawing on their combined decades of experience, they explore relationship recovery and repair through a deeper lens—one that centers not only on couples or partners, but also on the essential work of repairing the relationship with oneself. This episode reflects the growing awareness that many clients are not just struggling with their relationships, but with the fear of change that keeps them emotionally tethered to what is familiar, even when it is painful.

Andrea and Lisa speak candidly about the rise in unresolved grief and how avoidance of loss, endings, and disappointment is shaping modern relational patterns. They discuss why so many people present with a high tolerance for poor or harmful behavior, often rooted in early attachment and childhood wounds. The conversation highlights a common therapeutic theme: clients attempting to make others change to avoid their own pain, while losing connection to self-trust in the process. As therapists, they reflect on how relationships continue to act as powerful mirrors, revealing wounded parts that are asking for attention, compassion, and integration.

The episode closes with a meaningful exploration of endings, discernment, and the quiet grief that accompanies letting go of what no longer works. Andrea and Lisa name a growing therapeutic shift in 2025—moving clients away from obsessing over saving the relationship and toward choosing themselves with clarity and care. This conversation offers listeners a grounded, honest look at what healing truly asks of us, and why learning to trust ourselves may be the most important relationship repair of all.

As we stand at the threshold between 2025 and 2026, host Andrea Atherton offers this solo episode as an invitation to slow down and meet the New Year as a sacred cycle rather than a rushed reset. Instead of resolutions driven by pressure or self-improvement, Andrea explores the spiritual meaning of endings and beginnings—honoring what is complete, releasing what no longer serves, and recognizing this moment as a powerful pause for reflection and renewal. This episode centers cyclical time, conscious closure, and beginning again with intention.

In this solo reflection, Andrea gently guides listeners through the deeper layers of New Year ritual—why practices of release speak directly to the subconscious, how intentional reflection supports nervous system regulation, and how simple sacred tools such as journaling, candlelight, prayer, and embodied presence can create meaningful inner shifts. The conversation weaves together spirituality, emotional integration, and practical ritual, offering listeners accessible ways to clear emotional weight and open space for clarity, peace, and alignment.

This episode also serves as a ceremonial closing—honoring 2025 with gratitude and ushering in a new consciousness for 2026 rooted in presence, compassion, and self-trust. If you are longing to start fresh without urgency, or to move into the year ahead with greater awareness and support, this solo episode with Andrea Atherton invites you to listen not only with your mind, but with your body and heart. This is an offering for anyone ready to begin again with grace, intention, and conscious awareness.

Step into the celestial flow of 2026 as Andrea Atherton is joined once again by renowned astrologer David Hauser for a timely and illuminating conversation on the astrological forces shaping the year ahead. Together, they reflect on how 2025 served as a pivotal threshold year, one that asked us to dismantle outdated identities, confront systemic fatigue, and prepare our nervous systems for profound collective change. This episode offers listeners a grounded yet visionary lens on how last year’s initiations have set the stage for a more awakened, responsive, and truth-centered way of living in 2026.

At the heart of this conversation is the ongoing and historic influence of Pluto in Aquarius, now fully activated, no longer theoretical. Andrea and David explore how the seeds planted in 2025—around liberation, decentralization, authenticity, and community—are now demanding embodiment. They also unpack key 2026 transits, including healing-oriented planetary shifts, continued Chiron activations, and pivotal Mercury movements that support integration, repair, and conscious communication. Particular attention is given to how these transits impact our emotional bodies, relationships, leadership models, and collective sense of belonging after years of disruption and acceleration.

As the episode unfolds, listeners are offered both cosmic perspective and practical guidance for navigating 2026 with clarity and courage. Andrea and David speak to the deeper invitation of this year: to live in alignment rather than reaction, to choose connection over control, and to trust the intelligence of collective evolution. This is both a grounding conversation and a soulful call forward—reminding us that while the stars set the tone, we shape the experience. Whether you are astrologically fluent or simply feeling the pulse of change, this episode supports you in meeting 2026 with intention, resilience, and an open heart.
