“Hello, I’m Gwen Yi. Welcome back to whatever the f*ck this is.”
🤣 After months away from the microphone, I’m back!
Not with another astrology forecast or perfectly polished podcast, but with something much simpler:
My voice.
In this first episode, I share why I stepped away from being “The Asian Astrologer,” what working with Olivia Lara Owen changed in me, and how seven months of slowing down — including breaking (and rebreaking 🤡) my foot — forced me to rethink everything I believed about work, healing, and success.
We wander through Human Design, ADHD, entrepreneurship, and the surprising freedom of building a life around my own natural rhythms instead of everyone else’s expectations.
This is an experiment in speaking honestly before I know what I’m gonna say. A place to think out loud about the process of becoming, trusting your own timing, and holding yourself through life’s in-between seasons.
If this becomes a series, I hope it feels less like listening to an expert, and more like sitting with a friend who’s figuring it out alongside you.
In this episode:
Why I quietly stepped away from Astrology as my public identity.
What investing in myself taught me after a decade of holding space for others.
How breaking my foot (twice!) became an unexpected teacher in patience, healing, and surrender.
Why I’ve stopped trying to fit my life into productivity culture — and started designing it around my own rhythms instead.
The experiment I’m beginning, and why I hope you’ll come along for the ride.
A question for you:
I’m especially curious about one thing.
If it does, leave me a comment. I’d love to know:
What rhythms have you discovered about yourself?
Have you ever found yourself trying to force a timeline that simply wasn’t yours?
Is this a topic you’d like me to explore more in future episodes?
I have an open Head & Ajna in Human Design, so your comments often become the starting point for where these conversations go next. Don’t be shy!
If you enjoyed this voice note, subscribe so you don’t miss the next one — I think Wednesdays might become our little rhythm.
Love,
Gwen
