Life is a Test: Are You Settling for a Dysregulated Nervous System?

11.3 Weekly Drop ✨

Oct 30, 2025

Here’s what you’ll find in today’s mix of magic + musings: ⚡️ Energetic Color of the Day Chart, 🌕 Next Week’s Energy Update + 🌟 How best to work with it, 💁‍♀️ a peek inside Christina’s world, 🔮 Oracle Insights, & 💕 what I’m loving right now.

⚡️ Energetic Color of the Day:

Each day carries its own frequency and colors act like amplifiers for that energy. Wearing, carrying, or surrounding yourself with the day’s color helps you align more fully with its vibe. Think of it as dressing in sync with the universe!

Week of Nov 3rd Energy Update:

🌝 On Wednesday, Nov 5th we have the arrival of a powerful Supermoon or Full Moon in Taurus, bringing in stability, self-worth, and material security. You’ll come face to face with your relationship with money, possessions, and (eeek) your comfort zones. Remember Full Moons are times of ascension and surrender.

This is the perfect time to take inventory of your money and attachment to physical belongings. What do you actually value? Declare your worth, release fears around scarcity, and toss out anything your future self wouldn’t be caught dead in.

♐ The planet of love and values, Venus enters Sag on the 6th, injecting fun, freedom, and philosophy into our relationships and personal pleasures. It’s time to stop analyzing and step back to see the big picture.

Your worth is tied to your sense of adventure, which means this is not the time to settle for less. Seek out friends, partners, and experiences that make you feel expansive, excited, and wise. It’s the perfect time to ask, “is this experience or person helping me grow?”

♋ On the 7th Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion, stations retrograde* in Cancer, turning all our growth inward. Over the next 4 months we’ll be focused on deeply personal areas in our lives, such as emotional security, family, home, and building a steady foundation.

Growth comes from rooting yourself deeply into a sense of connection and belonging. Turn your attention inward to yourself and your home. Create an environment you’re proud of and try to uncover an emotional patterns that make you feel unstable. While you’re at it, try to resolve any unhealed family dynamics.

💫 This is your time to shift from the pursuit of perfection to authentic self! Think of Scorpio Season as a cosmic permission slip to unapologetically protect your energy. Only agree to obligations that feel good and aligned with your energy.

*Stations retrograde = planet appears to pause in the sky, and then begin moving backward through the zodiac.

🌟 Try this ritual: An Abundance Anchor

This is best done around the 5th to harness the Supermoon energy.

You’ll need:

A green or white candle - green for $$ or white for clarity
3 coins - of any denomination
A dish - in ceramic or glass
Salt - for cleansing + grounding
Cinnamon - to draw in abundance + speed up the manifestation

Start by sprinkling a small circle of salt around your ritual space or on the dish itself to purify the area.

Place your 3 coins in the center of the dish and as you do say: “I honor the abundance I already have”.

Now sprinkle cinnamon over the coins. As you do, feel the cinnamon actively drawing in opportunity and financial abundance. Sit with this feeling for a moment then say, “My Financial abundance flows with ease and consistency.”

Light the candle to seal it in. As you watch the flame, visualize your finances not as a mountain to climb, but as an unlimited well that never runs dry. Feel the security and wholeness of this ritual in your body. Focus on the gratitude for what you know to be true. Then affirm, “I am safe. I am worthy. I am abundant. My foundation is secure.”

After the candle burns down, keep this dish near your door or on your desk as an Abundant Anchor until the next New Moon.

💁‍♀️ Personal Update:

Throughout my life I have really struggled to believe in myself. On some deep delusional level I always knew things would probablyyy work out, but I had no clue how and to what extent. But at every turn in life, after every traumatic experience, one after another, I somehow end up on top with slight confusion as to how I got here. I’m not ‘normal’, I’ll never be ‘normal’. And thank God, because that, is my nightmare.

September 2024 I decided I was finally going to quit my corporate job. I’d been working for the same company since 2013 and I was smack dab in the middle of hustle culture. My nervous system was so out of whack that it took me almost 9 months to unwind after I left. That’s crazy. That environment, fostered output over mental health, which is the exact opposite of how I want to experience life. So when my manager spoke to me in a way that was disrespectful, I knew I had to get the fuck out of there.

This was the moment I realized I was being forced out of my job by the Universe, to follow my purpose. I had my head in the sand for so long that I’d missed all the other signs screaming at me to go, to quit, to turn on my heels and never look back. I’d been so wrapped up in my own bull shit of fear and an overall lack of worthiness, that I almost forgot who I was. But that September I remembered and I vowed to show up for the world with courage, confidence, and self-belief. It was time for me to step into my power as a healer!

I have a lot of friends and relationships, but I live a very lonely life. It’s something I’ve struggled with on and off, because on some level I know it has to be this way because of the work I’m being called to do. My days are filled with a lot of self-reflection. I didn’t realize that becoming an entrepreneur would require so much exposure to the areas of my life where I was playing small. It’s like living in a funhouse of all your insecurities, faults, and fears. And just when you think you’ve tackled one, you realize there’s another popping up right behind it.

That’s how I know I’m in the middle of massive leveling up. I can actively feel it coursing through me. I am a different person than I was last year. Actually I’d even go as far to say I’m a different person then I was 4 months ago. I’ve found strength and courage in places I never thought possible and I swear it’s because I’m healing my nervous system.

I’m more connected into my physical body then ever. When our nervous system is out of whack, we aren’t able to listen when our body is talking to us. And now that I’ve healed (or am at least am healing) my nervous system, I’m totally tapped into this bitch. I’m learning more and more each day on how the masculine hustle culture is actively ruining women’s bodies.

mas·cu·line/ˈmaskyələn/ | adjective

having qualities or an appearance traditionally associated with men or boys.
With energetic qualities of: action + logic, assertiveness + confidence, external focus, leadership + protection, independence

Now I’m not suggesting that you quit your corporate job to be an Energy Healer like me, but what I am suggesting is that you find ways to connect back into your body. Because if you are operating from a place of perfectionism, people pleasing, proving self-worth through output, and/or asserting your perceived value, then your nervous system… well she’s tired and she needs a rest and reset.

fem·i·nine | /ˈfemənən/ | adjective
having qualities or an appearance traditionally associated with women or girls.
With energetic qualities of: empathy + compassion, intuition, creativity, nurturing, receptivity, fluidity

I recently read an article by Kristi Tompkins on Nervous System Regulation in Women where she discusses the various ways women are likely to experience nervous system dysregulation. I was going to try and pull out a few, but I think they’re all equally important:

Sensitivity to Stress: Women’s bodies are highly sensitive to the catabolic effects of excess stress and cortisol, which can lead to disruptions in menstrual cycles, sleep, mood, immune function, and more.
Cultural Conditioning: Women are taught to accommodate others’ needs over their own. They are under the impossible pressure of being high-achieving, nurturing, and emotionally available at all times. They adjust to meet external demands, abandoning themselves in the process, leading to hyper vigilance.
Over-Productivity Paradigm: Our culture celebrates overachievement, constant output, and speed (AKA “masculine energy” traits). Women’s natural cycles and rhythms (hormonally, emotionally, energetically) were never designed for this grind. Forcing a cyclic body into a linear system exhausts the nervous system.
Work & Emotional Load: Women often carry the responsibility of caretaking, household, community building, and maintaining relationships, on top of their careers and personal goals; this “double shift” leads to nervous system depletion without sufficient rest or recovery.
Programmed Perfectionism: Women have been taught that being selfless, successful, busy, attractive, agreeable, and “perfect” is a virtuous trait. This unreachable standard creates an inner critic who demands more, postpones rest, and equates self-worth with output, further dysregulating the nervous system.
Body Wisdom Disconnection: Life tends to pull women into the head (logic, achievement, performance) and away from their body’s intuitive signals of need, fatigue, boundary, and desire. Ignored or suppressed long enough, the body experiences anxiety, depression, exhaustion, and autoimmune conditions.
Unresolved & Ongoing Stress: From unhealed childhood trauma to toxic relationships to modern-day stressors (job, money, children, etc.), all of this can further weaken your nervous system, health, and vitality.

I’m sure most women can identify with a few of these. I know I identified with them all. Sensitive to stress? Check! Cultural Conditioning? You betcha! Over-Productivity Paradigm? Overachiever, checking in for duty!

IT’S. EXHAUSTING. And, in my experience, you don’t really know or understand just how anxious, tense, or wound up you actually are, until you’re out of the eye of the storm. When you’re so hyper focused on things that don’t really matter, because some person told you they were important, then you’re missing the whole plot!

Gemini kills me. This is us ladies, standing in our power!

The point of the story, of life, is LIVE IT. Not be bound to a desk, negative emotions, and gut feelings that churn your stomach. We’re not supposed to be counting down the minutes until the day is over, having physical reactions to an email, or dissociating from reality on a regular basis. That is not the purpose of it all. If you live in this state, then your environment is trying to tell you something!

Life is screaming at you to change it! To level up. To believe in yourself. To find your voice. To remember who the fuck you are! To wake up! You’re in a fever dream and you need receisstation back into reality. Because where you’re living now, in that state, it’s not reality. That’s a test. That’s a test to see how much you love and honor yourself. How much you believe in yourself. It’s a test to see what you will settle for. So why are you settling for less?

This is my urge for you to go take care of your nervous system! Read that article, book a session with me, find some videos on youtube, start tapping, take up breathwork, do something, anything to get you back to status quo! There are so many options out there. It’s totally worth it. It’s FOR YOU and YOU’RE TOTALLY WORTH IT!
