Surfing the Big Surge

04.05.2026

Happy Sunday, my friend!

Another week, another weekly mooncast. I got so much great feedback from last week's email - and I truly appreciate you reading, listening and taking a few moments of your day to hang out with me.

This week I'm back with sharing more of how you can work with the energy of this week's last quarter moon - and it's big surge energy. It's the time to tackle those big tasks and get shit done!

So let's get to it, shall we?

New on Substack:
Harnessing the Energy of the Last Quarter Moon

I don’t know about you, but I do my very best work at the last possible moment.

Not because I am lazy. Not because I am undisciplined. Not because I am, despite what every productivity guru on the internet would have you believe, in desperate need of a better morning routine or a color-coded task management system or a course about getting things done.

I am simply a woman who runs on surge energy. And surge energy, I have learned, has its own season.

A Beautiful Distraction: April Illumine

The April issue of Illumine is an ode to living in full color—to the audacious, unapologetic bloom that happens when you stop waiting for permission and decide to take up space the way spring does: boldly, beautifully, and without a single apology. This is a month of cartwheels and color, of gathering your girls and daring to be exactly as much as you are.

Playlist: Disco, Disco, Disco

Big surge weeks deserve fun, high energy music to help tackle those tasks with gusto! This week I thought it would be fun to listen to some disco classics while working away in my garden, on my projects and even taking a bit longer walk than normal.

Hope your week is full of getting-shit-done energy so we can rest once the tasks are all checked off.

Love you.
Mean it.
Big time.
xoxo,
gina

The Art of Making Life Magical(the newsletter) Are you Rooted + Ready? 04.08.2026 Happy Wednesday, my friend! A year ago I started a series on my blog, Rooted + Ready. Originally it was a plan to help you be prepared for a jump in prices due to tariffs, but with all the craziness going on in Iran right now, I feel like it's time to revisit. Because, I don't know about you, but it feels like every damn week there's another reason that I'm stressed out over with the madman in the oval office....

The Art of Making Life Magical(the newsletter) No April Foolin' around 04.01.2026 I took a poll recently on Instagram and the results did not shock me: We're all fucking exhausted. We've been hit hard every day with narcissistic abuse by our own government in an effort to destroy our society. But that only works if we let it. So our job in these insane times is to remember that the main thing that defeats this bullshit is to respond with action rather than to react in despair. If you've been...

The Art of Making Life Magical(the newsletter) Just feed people 03.25.2026 Last weekend was magical... We had our first retreat of the year for Soft Life Society - and honestly it was incredible to spend a weekend with a house full of like-minded souls who were there to support each other and just be together to heal as a coven. But it also sparked a lot of interesting conversations - like the one I'm sharing today on Substack. I missed the Sunday post and email because I was just too in the...
