I'm happy to introduce you to this week's guest, Debra Silverman. Debra is an author, astrologer, and clinical psychologist. Over the past 40 years of professional experience and private practice, she has specialized in helping thousands of individuals achieve emotional health and wisdom based on their unique personality and the four elements: water, air, earth, and fire. Debra is the first astrologist that I've welcomed to the podcast, and I hope you enjoy listening to her refreshing take on how the stars play a role in our lives. As I was preparing for this episode I noticed right away that her world is full of life and she infuses that in the way that she operates in everything. I could sense so much strength and that she has been through a lot and carries so much. This made Debra laugh and she asked who was reading who, she tells me that I have an astrologer's chat so I guess I get it honestly! Debra shares some of the hard times she experienced with the death of her husband when she was in her 30s and the evolution she has undergone. She says that she doesn't really understand time, but she does know that as time marches on, there is as she calls it a wisdom cooker effect and we learn and deepen because of all that we have been through. "There is a gift in trusting time. There is no rush." ~ Debra Silverman Throughout our conversation, she reads parts of my chart, so if you've ever been curious about why I am the way that I am, this is the episode for you! Some of the ideas she shared were not the first time I've been told these things. Apparently 2022 is going to be a very big year for me! Debra explains being an astrologer as a gift of seeing a 360 degree view of a person. That combined with her Masters in clinical psychology, and she is very good at getting a read of a person. Astrology can be an interesting way to learn more about yourself and perhaps practice more self-acceptance and how to work with how we are built, instead of feeling like there is something that needs to be fixed. Debra shares a lot of interesting insights into what various signs indicate and the parts of our charts can impact our lives and personality. I'm grateful for Debra saying YES to life, even after so many hard moments, because of that she has this complexity and depth and also a lightness to her. I'm certain you're going to enjoy this conversation as much as I did. This is a fun one! I hope you'll listen and let me know what you think.Please comment below or share with me on social media.
