When naturopathic doctor Renata Taravski started having panic attacks despite a thriving practice, she knew something deeper was calling. In this raw conversation, she reveals how astrology found her at a pivotal moment and completely transformed her approach to healing.

From predicting the collective chaos of 2020-2024 through planetary transits to helping clients understand why supplements can't fix a soul-sucking job, Renata breaks down the three major midlife awakening transits that hit between ages 38-43, why we become addicted to our own suffering, and what it really takes to pivot when you have "more to lose." Her blend of medical training, cosmic wisdom, and unapologetic truth-telling offers a roadmap for anyone feeling stuck in their own matrix.

Essential listening for healers, seekers, and anyone sensing they've outgrown their current life but are terrified to let go.
