Welcome to Ghost of a Podcast. I'm your host Jessica Lignato. I'm an astrologer, psychic medium, and animal

communicator, and I'm going to give you your weekly horoscope and no bullshit, mystical advice,

for living your very best life.

M.G. Welcome to the podcast. Hi. What do you want to do a reading about? I would love to do a reading

about the future. So here's my question. How do you make a five-year plan when a future feels fake?

I've spent the last decade inside of working my way out of or healing from a long-term relationship where I

experience intimate partner violence. I'm a few years out from that dynamic and grateful to say

my life is freer, healthier, and more stable than it's been in a very long time. But now that

the worst is behind me, I find myself struggling to imagine what comes next. After spending so many years

focused on survival, I can't seem to bring my long-term thinking back online. And my brain's

focus on the day-to-day is only made worse by how scary our world is. I feel that I have

meaningful work to do in this world, but I don't know how to trust my vision or instincts about where to begin.

So I find myself looking for signs, permission, and direction out there instead of moving from a place of personal power and self-trust.

I would so appreciate any advice and ask your wisdom you could offer on where to start and reconnecting with my agency and planning for the future

when it just feels so darn fake.

Okay.

It's a really deep question.

So I've got a number of things to say and a question before we pull up your chart, which I'm

going to do really quickly.

Okay.

The first is I'm really sorry that you dealt with partner violence.

I'm so sorry.
