Most of us are searching for clarity in a world that feels increasingly uncertain. Not just answers about what to do next, but insight into who we are becoming.

In this episode of The Inner Edge, Janet invites us into a thoughtful and grounded conversation about astrology, not as fortune-telling, but as a powerful tool for self-awareness, meaning, and conscious leadership.

Astrologer Simone Butler joins Janet to explore why ancient wisdom systems like astrology are re-emerging right now, how Carl Jung used astrology in his clinical work, and why understanding our inner patterns can help us make wiser decisions in times of personal and collective change.

This episode is an invitation to stay curious, expand your definition of critical thinking, and reconnect with the deeper intelligence guiding your life.

In this episode:

✅ Why astrology is about self-understanding

✅ Carl Jung’s connection to astrology and the collective unconscious

✅ How unconscious patterns shape most of our behavior

✅ What a birth chart really represents

✅ The role of energy, cycles, and timing in personal growth

✅ Why self-awareness is essential for conscious leadership today

✅ How ancient wisdom supports modern reinvention

✅ Staying open and curious instead of dismissive or fragmented

There comes a moment in many leadership journeys when all the behaviors that once drove success—working harder, stepping in faster, proving competence—suddenly stop delivering the same results. You’re still capable. Still committed. Still responsible. And yet, something feels off.

In this episode, Janet explores that often-unspoken turning point and why it’s not a failure, but a call to a deeper kind of leadership.

This conversation is about the inner shift required as leaders move into higher levels of responsibility. Janet unpacks why leadership effectiveness evolves from visible execution to discernment, presence, and judgment, and how learning to pause, sense, and respond intentionally becomes a defining edge.

This is an invitation to outgrow what no longer fits and lead from clarity instead of habit.

In this episode:

✅ Why working harder eventually stops being the answer

✅ The invisible shift from execution to judgment at senior levels

✅ How micromanagement often signals a deeper leadership transition

✅ The power of pausing instead of reacting

✅ Asking “What is needed here?” instead of “What should I do?”

✅ The difference between habitual action and intentional response

✅ How leadership presence deepens through discernment, not control

✅ Why maturity in leadership often feels uncomfortable at first
