The Curiosity Solution Podcast

Episode 38 - Perry Rickard and the Curiosity of Clutter

This week's show discusses how having a system in place releases the trapped energy that clutter can lock people into. Perry discusses how she was inspired to start her business that leveraged her natural gifts of "knowing" where items want to live, helping with relocations, and knowing what systems her clients will thrive with. We also talk about PTSD, whitewater rafting, and so much more!

Episode 37 - April 2025 Energy Forecast: Peace, Darkening of the Light, Increase, The Wanderer

April's Yang Earth Dragon month is full of twists, turns, and surprises. Peace is there, but you may have to look hard for it. It'll likely be found in the quiet moments when you go inside of yourself, or appreciate nature. Light follows dark follows light...times of trouble are constantly intertwined with times of abundance and joy. Know that this season will evolve into something new and different. Be generous with others, and with yourself. Do you need time to recharge? Take it. Give others the encouragement that you also are giving to yourself. The unfamiliarity and novelty that travel brings not only broadens your horizons, but it forces new perspectives. One doesn't need to leave their city or even their neighborhood to take on a new sense of wonder and delight! The most delicious experiences of traveling come when you observe locals and their customs, and honor them by not imposing your "tried and true" ways of your homeland.
 
This month, be gentle with yourself and others. The rule following of Yang Metal and the etheric dominance of the Dragon (which holds hidden earth) can make for a month of lockdowns, breakdowns, breakthroughs, and explosive growth. If you have Dog in your chart, expect a transition or transformation. New skills may be uncovered if you have Fire in your chart, especially Yin Fire, since Fire is able to refine Yang Metal into something useful. Considering that we are in a 20 year Fire cycle, everyone gets some of this, so stay calm and take deep breathes!

Episode 36 - Michelle Harvey, Heart Coach: The Curiosity of Infertility

However, infertility plagued her even after getting everything in order physically. Tune in to hear how she used Feng Shui and Transformational Coaching to clear out past life and inherited patterns around birth trauma to finally achieve the ultimate title: MOM.

Episode 33 - February 2025 IChing forecast: Abundance, Decrease, Restraint, Folly

The Yang Earth Tiger energy is that of Abundance, Card 55. It's the beginning of spring, of abundant possibilities, and of generosity and reaping rewards. It's important to enjoy this and not slip into scarcity mindset, since the fear of losing all of the plenty that you currently enjoy can actually bring that very situation about.
The clarifying cards:
Card 41, Decrease, focus line 2. It's time for spring cleaning, either by choice or by force. If you find yourself laid bare by whatever needed to be taken away, allow yourself to receive the largess from those in your community. If you are enjoying abundance, then find those who could actually use some of the gifts that you have. Make sure they aren't the dumping grounds for your cast-offs.
Card 9, The Taming Power of the Small, focus line 6 This speaks to self-restraint, careful preparations, and adaptability. We may find ourselves in a situation where we feel powerless to stop larger events, so take some time to relax, recharge, and slow down to recuperate. This is a time to guard your energetic resources.
Card 4, Youthful Folly, focus line 3 Notice when you feel out of control of a situation. You might find yourself being irrational, impulsive, and maybe even reckless. This immaturity and hyperfocus on the goal of the moment will have deeper ramifications and lead to a feeling of chaos. Save the bluffing for poker and pause. See if you can find the wisdom of the situation and follow your mentor's advice. If you don't, you'll find yourself repeating lessons until you truly understand it.

Episode 32 - 2025 Yin Wood Snake Energy Preview

While this year won't be as intense as last year, it's best to expect the unexpected. Yin Wood is flexible and strong, but the majority of the activity happen below the surface. Snake energy is the most intuitive of the animal signs, due in large part to the connection it naturally has with the rhythms of the earth as it slithers along the ground. There will be growth and transformation, along with the discomfort that comes from wearing a skin that is constricting. Be watchful for secrecy, cunning, and ruthless behavior.
The last Yin Wood Snake year was 1965, which was filled with war, upheaval, and major technology advances...lots of musical and artistic advances too!

Episode 31- January 2025 IChing forecast

We are in the final days of the Yang Wood Dragon month, and the sparks are flying! The Yin Fire Ox month is symbolized by card 17, Following. It's an admonition to look at who you are trusting to lead you, lest you find yourself accidentally in a cult, or potentially heading off of a cliff. You can also find yourself in leadership positions, where you get to ideally help each of your followers become the best versions of themselves, fully equipped to go on to their own individual paths.
Card 62, line 2: Small Is Beautiful. Focus on what you can control: your attitude, your physical activity, your food. You may feel yourself on the edge of burnout, so take some time to slow down and notice what is working and not working for you.
Card 54, The Marrying Maiden, focus line 5: In the old days, Chinese men were allowed to take an additional "wife" for his pleasure. She was at his mercy and if she didn't prove herself useful, then she could be discarded. There may be external situations where you have been manipulated into inferior positions, or used for other's gain. When you discover that your integrity has been compromised, it's time to evaluate how you cooperated in the seduction and what motivated you to say yes to this agreement that isn't serving you. The superficial feels good at the time but it is corrosive eventually. Take responsibility for being duped and learn from your folly. Leave embarrassment and defensiveness behind as you assimilate the lessons learned.
#47, Oppression, line 3: In even the darkest of times, there is light. Now may be one of those times where we must go within to find the strength and inner determination to keep going and growing. This is the card of the yin-yang symbol, the knowing that within the dark is a glow of light, and within the light is the grounding of the dark. Don't waste energy with theatrics and temper tantrums. Instead channel your energy into curiosity as to how the situation can become filled with life affirming lessons.
The trigram for Yang Wood, Zhen, came up in three of the 4 cards. This is symbolized by Thunder, the shocking, earth rattling heavenly movement that is also attributed to Dragon energy. There may be events that come out of the blue, forcing new beginnings and movement where slower paths would have been preferable.
Dui also showed up 3 times. This is a slower paced energy, an open and unconventional sign that encourages optimism and joy, as well as exchanges of ideas.
Stay connected to your friend group and build strong coalitions with those in your immediate area. This will not only feel amazing to have a strong community, but you'll be better prepared in case of shock and awe.
ENERGY HYGIENE ONLINE CLASS 1/16/25, 6-8 p.m. CST Have you ever felt like your decisions weren't your own? We are bombarded with the energy of other people, and knowing how to tell what is your energy and what is another's energy is key to reducing anxiety, overwhelm, and internal chaos. This class will help you understand how to ground, disconnect from energy that is unnecessary, and how to tell when your field has been hijacked by others. I'll offer several techniques to shield, deflect, and even receive beneficial energy!

Episode 29 - December 2024: Corners of the Mouth, Completion, Before Completion, REVOLUTION!

The card for the month is #27, The Corners of the Mouth: With so much attention on holidays and feasting this month, pay attention to what is going into your mouth, your mind, and your environment. Are the people you are spending time with fueling growth and support, or are they tethering you to a version of yourself that you have outgrown? Mindful eating is a challenge when you are being encouraged to have a second helping of Aunt Martha's cornbread stuffing, but you are the one who will suffer the consequences of increased digestive issues. Meditation and breathwork will aid in staying grounded, as will the Energy Hygiene practice that I mentioned.
 
#63, Completion, focus line 2: This month may feel as if you have achieved all of your goals, and that it's time to celebrate! While that may be true, it's also important to remember that the only way is down once you've reached the peak of the mountaintop. If you aren't careful, you might find that you've created a situation that is more of a nightmare than the perfection you desired. Expect to feel exposed as you stand on top of the mountain. Just know that things will return to normal soon enough. Prudence is the watchword.
 
#64, Before Completion, focus line 6: Mercury Retrograde is 11/25-12/15. This is a time when you might think that everything was done and dusted, only to find out that things aren't quite the way that it seemed. Expect unanticipated challenges, delayed progress, and multiple fires that feel more like Whack-A-Mole than a relaxing winter's day. Just know that things happen when the timing is right, and all of the force and energy in the world won't speed that up. More reason to stay grounded and realistic. Don't be afraid to abandon a direction if you find that it's actually leading you away from your ultimate goal. Just because you spent a lot of time and money on something doesn't mean you should continue to throw good money after bad. The focus line encourages us to relax, celebrate what has been done so far, and throw a party! Every ending is the doorway to a new beginning, so look for the opportunities when they present themselves!
 
#49, Revolution, focus line 6: When Yin Metal and Fire meet, as in the hexagram for this card, transformation WILL happen. The snake outgrows its skin, and that period of discomfort eventually ends when the old makes way for the new. No matter how much you loved your childhood shoes, you will outgrow them and have the memories of the good times had while wearing them. Growth can feel risky and frightening, but with supportive people, courage, and fortitude you will be able to move forward. Disengage from habitual behaviors will encourage the flexibility needed to expand into the new paradigm. Remember that the Phoenix built their own bonfire to burn away the old prior to expanding into the new!
