In today’s mix of magic + musings: Upcoming ⚡️ Energy Update + 🪄 tips on how to help alchemize. Followed by 🫶 Client Corner, 💁♀️ a personal update from me, 🔮 Oracle Insights from the heavens, 💕things I’m loving right now.
⚡️ Week of December 25th Energy Update:
♑️ In the final week of 2025, the Sun, Venus, and Mars will unite and create a powerful Capricorn stellium. This is a week of quiet authority, filled with grounded clarity. It’s time to build a solid plan and not allow your emotions run the show. This is quality over quantity time. Think high level strategizing, with the intention of karmic completions by transitioning your thoughts from “What if?” to “How to.”
💫This is your time to stop chasing every passing idea and focus on something solid and long lasting, especially as we move into the New Year!
🪄 Alchemize the Energy: Visioning Your Future Self
The end of the year is here and everyone’s talk about New Year’s resolutions, but those have never really worked for me. Instead, I prefer to set the tone for who I want to become in 2026. This isn’t just vision boarding, it’s defining future you by leading with your words first and images second.
It starts with identity work. On a blank page answer the questions below. Don’t overthink, just brain dump. This isn’t about editing or getting things perfect, it’s about getting your thoughts down on paper. Do it in any form that makes you happy. I personally like making a list or mind map for this type of activity.
Who do I want to be? Ex: Someone who’s more confident, less reactive, + trusts themselves
How do I want to live? Ex: In a home that feels cozy, with an overflowing bank account, + better boundaries in her relationships
What do I want to do? Ex: Travel for work, spend more time on myself, creating things I love
Find the patterns. Review what you’ve written and try to identify any patterns. What keeps repeating? Has anything showed up across multiple sections? Does anything here feel alive or maybe outdated? What’s the energy behind it all? Ex: I want security and freedom in 2026.
Translate it into visuals. Find visual references for what you’ve written. These images should reflect how life feels, the day-to-day reality, and overall embodiment. It’s less about material things and more about a visual representation of your truest desires. Ex: image of a person who has security, someone traveling, a calendar full of clients, inspirational/aligned words
Create. Start collecting images and words that align with the version, the frequency, of the person you’d like to become in 2026. This isn’t meant to be done in one sitting. Take your time, add things slowly, and let it evolve over a few days or weeks. It’s okay if this bleeds into January. Clarity often build over time, which is why you shouldn’t feel the need to rush a project like this.
We’re in a digital age and while I love arts and crafts, you may find it’s easier to create something like this in canva. When you’re done save it as a background on your computer or phone screen. I think it’s the best way to get into the frequency of your desired self. You’re already looking at these screens every day, may as well have them work for you! Happy Creating!

💁♀️ Personal Update:
There was a point in time when I hated Christmas. I didn’t want to think or be reminded of all the happiness, joy, and cheer. I was full on bah humbug because you see, my dear father passed away December 26, 2007, the day after Christmas.
But this isn’t a story about the loss and devastation I felt after his passing. This is a story about the time he turned me into a mini-bookie. His Bookie Buddy, if you will. You read that right. Somewhere between the lines and the odds, my father and his bestie Mike saw a way to turn the Vegas spreads into my college tuition.
It all started with some light sports gambling, specifically pro football. Each fall season the bar would host a Survivor Pool, which meant players only had to pick one team to win each week. (I believe) it was an $85 buy-in and any surviving players at the end of the football season would keep or split the winning pot.
I was a natural! Guys at the bar were pissed. They couldn’t believe a 17 year old girl could possibly guess a winning team each week on her own. BUT I DID. Every week, some sore loser would accuse my dad of cheating or helping me. But he never did. The only thing he’d do was remind me to ‘get my pick in ontime’.
That’s the thing about my dad. He lived by his own code of ethics:
Stay loyal to your friends. Never stop maintaining your relationships
Be a confididant. Never tell someone’s secrets (or they may tell yours)
Be considerate when talking shit (because you never know who’s listening or who you might accidentally offend)
Never cheat (unless of course it has something to do with the government or a large greedy corporation — then you should take them for all they’ve got)
Always move and act with confidence, especially when you’re somewhere you’re not supposed to be (i.e. underage at a bar or when sneaking in somewhere). Act like you belong. Confidence rarely gets questioned
I think I was good at football betting betting because I didn’t have an emotional attachment to the players or the teams. I approached it with logic. I studied the lines, understood which teams had players in/out, checked the weather forecasts, and never bet on a sure thing, because upsets happened all the time.
My first year, I won around $2,800, which was enough to cover a semester at the community college I would attend the following fall. And that’s exactly where the money went. My dad let me keep a few hundred dollars and he put the rest towards my books and tuition. It was like free money!
The following year, I won again, but this time I had to split the pot. I was doing so good that my dad started getting me involved in 'other ‘games’ and I continued to win. Even when I lost, the odds were still in my favor.
This is when the wheels started turning for my dad and Uncle Mike. Because I was paying so much attention to football, I would naturally brag to all my guy friends about what a pro I’d become. By the time I was 20 and fall rolled around, I was legally an adult. I liked betting. It was fun, easy, and fast. So when my dad asked if I’d want to try something new, I jumped at the chance.
I don’t remember the exact conversation, but I’d like to believe it went something like this: “Hey Chrissy, are you familiar with parlays? We’ve got these cards we’d like you to start distributing to your friends…”
par·lay | /ˈpärˌlā,ˈpärlē/ | verb
You see, on Tuesday mornings, the Las Vegas oddsmakers would release a point spread for the football games being played that week. Once the numbers dropped, cards would get printed listing off details for every game. This included the date/time, who was playing home/away, the point spread, and the odds line. The cards let bettors bundle multiple games into one bet, with the caveat that every selected game had to win against the spread. One loss meant the entire card lost. But the more games selected and won, the higher the payout.
point spread | /ˈpoint ˌspred/ | noun
a forecast of the number of points by which a stronger team (-) is expected to defeat a weaker one (+), used for betting purposes. It allows bettors to wager on the difference in the final score rather than just which team will win outright.
odds | /ädz/ | noun
the ratio between the amounts staked by the parties to a bet, based on the expected probability either way.
I was slanging cards everywhere I could. I would run all over the suburbs dropping off cards to every dude I knew. I made friends with the bartenders and bouncers wherever my fake ID could get me through the door. I would approach guys in between classes on campus and bring cards to house parties.
You see, being a woman, running cards was not easy. In the beginning I wasn’t taken seriously. To put it bluntly, they thought I was dumb (I wasn’t), and that assumption opened the door to every trick imaginable — not having money, switching bets, pushing back timelines. So many excuses. You’d be amazed at what gamblers think they can get away with. They’re a bunch of degenerates.
Players had 2 days to place bets before the first game on Thursday night. Come Thursday morning I was running around again. Picking up cards, cash, and doing what I did best, talking shit to all these guys on their choices for the week. It wasn’t just banter, it was because I also needed to hedge my bets.
hedge | /hej/ | verb
limit or qualify (something) by conditions or exceptions.
protect oneself against loss on (a bet or investment) by making balancing or compensating transactions.
At the end of the day, this was a business, and I needed to ensure the bets were balancing themselves out. If too many people chose one team to win, then the payout would decimate my earnings. Ideally, you want players to bet on both sides so the risk stays neutral and no single win wipes you out. Which meant I needed to manage these men and their bets.
Thankfully I had my dad and Uncle Mike backing me — for a small fee of course (you can’t see me, but I’m laughing and shaking my head). Knowing they were around to fall back on, made me feel empowered and untouchable in this male dominated arena. It also made it fun and definitely set me up for the next phase of my life — spending absorbent amounts of time in a pool hall.
I joke that my dad always wanted a boy, but instead got the girliest of girls. From a young age he made sure I was interested in all the things he was interested in — fast cars, sports, and hanging out in bars with his best friends.
