**October isn’t just another month. It’s a reset, a power move, and a reality check.** Season two kicks off with Nina and Jo asking what “power” really means once you stop performing for everyone…
So let's actually get to the episode of today.
As I started off, uh, October is affectionately called Power Month in the year of the fire horse in Chinese astrology, which is actually how we started talking about, uh, the year back in February when we started, uh, this podcast.
Um, it's really a time for boldness, momentum, and taking action.
Totally resonates with me.
But Jo, you were also talking about something called October Theory, which I'd never heard before.
So what is that?
Well, October is always a big month for me.
So I'm a Scorpio, if that means anything to anyone listening.
So October is always a big month of change, and I think for me it hit a little bit differently this year because, yeah, I was very focused on the year of the fire horse.
It was also a good year for those of us who are year of the dog.
And don't worry, I'm gonna get not too cheesy into- [laughs]
I am the year of the dog, first of all.
We both are-
I know
... 'cause we've revealed all of our secrets about, what did you call it, mid-life.
I'm a little-
Yes
... nervous about that.
But, um, yeah, so October, October is always a big month of like reflection and change for me.
But apparently it is-
Mm-hmm
... for everyone right now, and I love that you called it the Power Month because you caught me in a really interesting moment of reflection and inflection.
