Hi! The doors to The North Node are open until Monday, January 6th. If you want to learn more about what we do in there, you can read more here.

Friends, Romans, chronically online countrypeople — it's 2024 and your girl has spent two years marinating in what I'm calling The Void™ (patent pending, merchandise coming never). After being forced to abandon my most reliable personality trait — working at the speed of light and launching products faster than Zara changes aesthetics — I've emerged with some thoughts about business, creativity, and why sometimes doing absolutely nothing is actually... everything?

Picture it: Sicily, 1922. Just kidding. Picture it: me, a non-linear brain with one setting — VERY FAST — being forced by the universe to... slow... down. The audacity. The horror. The absolute violation of my Aries midheaven rights!

Key revelations from my extended stay in The Void (or: what happens when an ADHD entrepreneur is forced to practice patience)…

There are THREE flavors of void-states (like spiritual Ben & Jerry's, but with fewer calories and more existential crises):

Ever wonder how your astrology app finds time to send you push notifications about approaching doom while you can't find 5 minutes to eat lunch? (Petition to remove Co—Star from the App Store)

In this episode of The Twelfth House, Michelle Pellizzon (me! hi!) confesses to being a recovering time scarcity girlboss and breaks down how she went from "scheduling bathroom breaks" to "running a business in 4 days a week without having a nervous breakdown."

If you're reading this while simultaneously attending a Zoom meeting, answering Slack messages, and planning your escape to a meditation retreat in Bali, this episode is specifically for you.

Episode Highlights

First, we dive into the exact moment I realized I was treating my schedule like a game of Tetris designed by Satan himself. Spoiler alert: it involved crying in a Whole Foods parking lot because I scheduled three meetings in three different places in one hour. Past Me was clearly going through something.

Then we get into the juicy stuff:

* How I structure my week so I actually have time to shower, make money, and generally enjoy my life (revolutionary, I know)

* The uncomfortable truth about why you keep booking meetings you hate

* How to identify what's actually important versus what your anxiety says is important

* The art of saying "no" without having to fake a family emergency

Plus, I share some spicy takes from the Time Witch's Starter Spellbook, which you can snag here →

If you've ever wished you could manipulate the space-time continuum just to get through your to-do list, consider this episode your permission slip to stop treating productivity like a blood sport. Time isn't the enemy — but that 2-hour standing weekly meeting that could have been an email definitely is.

Tune in for practical magic that’ll help you feel like you’ve actually got your life together without having an existential crisis every Sunday night." ✨

In this episode of our backstage chronicles, Michelle and Katie dive deep into the art of resolution remixing — essentially what would happen if your type-A planning tendencies got into a heated debate with your intuition and somehow… they both won.

Instead of SMART goals (which, let's be honest, mostly just make us feel dumb), Katie proposes something revolutionary: actually enjoying the process of personal growth. Shocking and brave!

KD and MP excavate the eternal tension between traditional goal-setting (hello, spreadsheet my old friend) and the more intuitive "vibes-based" approach to life planning. Come for the goal-setting discourse, stay for the unexpected revelation that maybe we're all just taking ourselves a bit too seriously.

Here’s What’s On the Agenda:

🎧 Doomscroll – The duo breaks down the Matty Healy episode, exploring his controversial persona, why he’s such a polarizing figure, and what we can learn from the drama.

🌀 Remixing Resolutions – Forget rigid New Year’s resolutions. Katie introduces her fresh, feel-good approach to goal-setting by focusing on what’s working, setting big-picture aspirations, and tuning into emotional goals.

🤔 Feelings vs. SMART Goals – Why chasing feelings and experiences can be so much more rewarding than sticking to traditional, structured goals.

💡 Navigating Jealousy & Curveballs – Michelle and Katie talk about turning jealousy into clarity, identifying what you truly want, and staying resilient when life doesn’t go as planned.

💫 The Power of Curiosity – Life is all about experimentation and play. Discover how curiosity and a willingness to try new things can keep you motivated and inspired.

Ever feel like you’re stuck in a weird in-between space, not quite sure what’s next but knowing something’s shifting? You are not alone!

In this episode of The Twelfth House Podcast, Michelle Pellizzon dives into the "void state" — that strange, liminal time between Thanksgiving and the new year — to explore its potential and promise.

Support independent spiritual journalism that refuses to tell you to manifest harder when really you just need a nap. Paid subscribers get access to my most cursed (blessed?) takes on combining ancient wisdom with modern business strategy.

Here’s What’s Inside This Episode:

* Why the "linear career ladder" is outdated (spoiler: quantum physics has a better model).

* How to trust your seemingly random interests and hobbies—they might just be preparing you for future magic.

* Why patience and self-trust are the ultimate power moves in times of uncertainty.

* Practical tips for embracing your non-linear path without judgment or rush.

This episode is a warm reminder to lean into the unknown, embrace your quirks, and trust that the dots will connect—even if you can’t see the picture just yet.

Tune in for a cozy, insightful chat to help you navigate your own void state with grace and curiosity.
