## Resource

Some people find the stars. Others are found by them. Yael is an astrologer, a teacher, and the creator of the Planetary Balance Method (TM) — a framework for balancing the five planetary energies that shape every human life. But before all of that, she was a teenager carrying things no teenager should have to carry alone. A brother with leukemia. A mother who died at 44. A father with a secret. And underneath all of it — a girl who desperately longed to be loved, and had no idea how to let it in. In this episode, Yael takes us back. To the body image that haunted her despite how she looked on the outside. To the boy she pushed away on the beach. To the running — both in her waking life and in her dreams — and what finally happened when she turned around and faced what was chasing her. This is a conversation about emotions, repression, the water element, why talking about your emotions is only half the work — and what it means to actually feel them in your body, what spirituality can get wrong, and why the most radical thing a teenager can do is stop trying to fix what they feel — and start listening to it instead. This one is for every teen who has ever felt deeply alone in a full room. For every person who learned to survive instead of feel. And for anyone who has ever wondered if the stars might have something to say about who they really are.
