Ellen is again joined by the wonderful astrologer Bruna Maia. Together they do a LIVE Q&A with Kayla.

Kayla has a background in tech, including running her own start-up. About a year and a half ago, she decided to take an extended break to recover from (formerly undiagnosed) near divergent burnout, work through complex trauma in therapy and get clear on the people, spaces and initiatives that give her joy. Having spent this time healing and growing, she is wondering what is ahead for her career-wise, which now feels incredibly unknown.  She is  curious if there is clarity- an energy that connects purpose with opportunity- ahead.

Books mentioned: Ambition Monster by Jennifer Romolini, Mythos by Stephen Fry, Psyche and Eros: A Novel by Luna McNamara

Sustacks mentioned: Audacious Women Creative Lives by Ann Boyd
