What happens when the life you thought you wanted doesn’t quite fit anymore?

You’ve changed. The world has changed. Maybe you’re exhausted, questioning your direction, or realizing that some of what you’ve been carrying simply doesn’t matter to you the way it once did.

This week on Our Waking Dream, leadership mentor and spiritual strategist Coco Swanson explores the upcoming Pisces Full Moon lunar eclipse as a powerful reset around intuition, letting go, service, imagination, and what we choose to devote ourselves to now.

With the Moon in Pisces opposite the Sun and Mercury in Virgo, and Uranus in Gemini shaking up the conversation, this eclipse invites us to loosen old ideas about what life should look like—and dream beyond what we already know how to make happen.

Journal inquiries:

1- What have you outgrown but haven’t given yourself permission to let go of?

2- What—or who—do you really care about now?

3- When you let go of ideas about what your life should look like, what are you naturally called toward or inspired by?

4- How devoted are you to bringing what your heart is speaking into form?

Coco also shares practices for strengthening intuition and tending your dreams—not just personal dreams, but what you dream of for the world at large .

Your dreams don’t have to make money. They just need to make your heart sing.

What if what brings you pleasure isn’t a distraction from what matters—but information about where you’re meant to go next?

Especially in difficult times, it’s important to know the difference between a heart that needs care and a heart that’s ready to lead. Sometimes we need to rest, grieve, cry, or receive support. And sometimes there’s a YES underneath it all—something we love, something that brings us alive, something asking us to follow it.

This week on Our Waking Dream, Coco Swanson explores a beautiful moment of harmony in the sky as Venus in Libra sextiles Jupiter in Leo and Mercury in Leo trines Saturn in Aries. Along with the astrology, she shares journal inquiries and embodied practices for following pleasure, strengthening joy, practicing compassion—and giving our YES somewhere to go.

Journal inquiries:

What does a full-bodied YES feel like for me? Conversely, how do I know when my heart needs care—to cry, rest, grieve, or heal?

What do I authentically love? What brings me the most joy and pleasure?

What if my pleasure is pointing me toward my purpose? What would I do about it?

Where could what brings me alive also be of service?

Sometimes your heart needs care. Sometimes your heart is ready to lead. Learning the difference changes everything.

What happens when we give ourselves enough room to fully feel the heartbreak, fear, anger, grief—all of it? Does the heart have a natural pathway back to joy?

Do our lives actually make room for that process? And when we do process what we’re carrying, does it move and reconcile—or do we find ourselves recycling the same feelings and stories again and again?

In this episode of Our Waking Dream, spiritual strategist and leadership mentor Coco Swanson prepares us for the Leo New Moon Solar Eclipse on August 12 with new journal inquiries and embodied practices for emotional healing, expression, and release. We explore how to create daily pathways for our emotions to move, how sound and movement can support emotional processing, and how even envy and comparison can become information about what our hearts long to experience and express.

This eclipse begins a powerful six-month reset of the heart. Because healing our hearts isn’t only about releasing pain. As old wounds reconcile, we create more room for joy, passion, creativity, courage, authentic self-expression, imagination, and purpose.

Journal inquiries:

Does my life create enough space for my heart to fully feel, process, and reconcile what it experiences?

When difficult emotions arise, do they move through me—or do they keep recycling?

What sounds, movements, environments, people, or practices help me feel safe enough to feel and express what I’m feeling?

Who do I compare myself to, and what might that comparison reveal about something I long to experience, express, or develop?

Don’t chase purpose. Build the conditions where purpose naturally grows.

If you’d like support with whatever you’re navigating, I host a free live Solutions Lab every other Sunday from 12–1 PM PT. Bring whatever is alive—we’ll work through it together.
