Laura and Ali get back to their recording studio (Laura’s garden office) for a deeply honest conversation about the Full Moon in Scorpio. What starts as a catch-up quickly goes deep, covering astrology, healing, self-worth, grief, and the wisdom hidden inside our most painful experiences.

Key Takeaways

• The Full Moon in Scorpio is a truth-teller. If things feel messy and emotionally chaotic, that's the point — clarity comes after the confusion.
• You are not your wounds. You get to choose whether they make you or break you.
• Start simple with the moon: just notice what sign the full and new moon are in, and see how it resonates. Don't overthink it.
• The balsamic phase (3.5 days before the new moon) is one of the most overlooked parts of the cycle — use it to rest, retreat, and release.
• Manifesting isn't luck. It requires journalling, honesty, difficult conversations, and doing the inner work.
• When something from the past resurfaces, it's not a setback — it's another spotlight on your healing path.
• Self-love isn't arrogant. Choosing to be in a relationship from a place of "I want you" rather than "I need you" is one of the most powerful shifts you can make.
