- 0:32Speaker 2: Well, hello everyone and welcome back to the Divas that Care.
- 0:35Speaker 2: My name is Candice Gish.
- 0:36Speaker 2: If this is your very first time tuning into us, a huge welcome.
- 0:40Speaker 2: We've been doing this now for 15 years and we're listened to in over 30 countries around the world and, honestly, it is because of our fantastic tribe, our amazing hosts and our guests that come onto our program that we are continuing to do this.
- 0:52Speaker 2: So we do appreciate all of you that have been with us for so long.
- 0:57Speaker 2: Today, we are actually in the middle of a podcasting series and it's called Boss Babe Summer Leveling Up in Life and Career.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Welcome to the podcast, adriana.
- 1:08Speaker 2: Thank you, candice, I'm so happy to be here.
- 1:11Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh, I am beyond excited to be talking with you today.
- 1:14Speaker 2: Before we kind of dive into our podcast today, adriana, would you mind introducing yourself to our listeners?
- 1:20Speaker 3: Sure.
- 1:20Speaker 3: So my name, like you said, is Adriana Barnhart.
- 1:24Speaker 3: I go by Adri with my friends, so you're more than welcome to call me that.
- 1:28Speaker 3: My business that I run it's called Lovingly Adri and it's all about astrological life coaching.
- 1:36Speaker 3: And so I combine astrology with life coaching, combine it, and I help women or just anybody you know go from tolerating themselves to intuitively loving themselves.
- 1:50Speaker 3: And I created a program called ILYSM, which usually stands for I love you so much, but in my lovingly Adri world it stands for intuitively love yourself mentality.
- 2:18Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I love it.
- 2:19Speaker 3: Can I ask you, how did you get into this to be able to say like, oh, I can't make a decision.
- 2:22Speaker 3: I'm a Libra, you know things like that.
- 2:24Speaker 3: But long story short, I went to college for musical theater, did that my whole life, and then, after I graduated, I recognized that I just wasn't happy in my life and I wanted to help more people and I just didn't know how to do that.
- 2:41Speaker 3: And I randomly one day met somebody at the dog park and they told me about life coaching.
- 2:47Speaker 3: And so I immediately signed up for a certification program and all the while I was doing a bunch of research on astrology, trying to basically disprove it a little bit.
- 2:59Speaker 3: And just through my research it just kept getting more and more and more just scary to me of how accurate it was and it just felt like a no brainer to combine both of them.
- 3:11Speaker 3: Once I started gaining clients and really listening to what my clients were saying to me, I thought well, let me just look at your birth chart and let's see if that tells us anything.
- 3:21Speaker 3: And that's how all of this has kind of come to be.
- 3:26Speaker 2: That is wow, Like I don't even know what to say.
- 3:28Speaker 3: that that is so cool, is so interesting because for me, the way that I look at astrology, it's a tool for self awareness and so the way that I compartmentalize the different planets, where, you know, once that word gets put into the conversation, people are like, oh, that's very woo-woo, I checked out of the conversation.
- 3:49Speaker 3: For me, the planets represent a bunch of different mental functions of the psyche.
- 3:54Speaker 3: So when we're talking about your sun sign, we're talking about the development of identity and who you're growing into being, your ego.
- 4:01Speaker 3: And then when we're talking about Mercury, we're talking about your intellect and your ability to communicate, your Venus emotional regulation, so things like that.
- 4:11Speaker 3: So it just made perfect sense that with my version of coaching, which is all about being in your body and really understanding your perceptions and how we could maybe reframe those, it makes perfect sense to go back to your birth chart, which to me represents kind of like your iPhone default factory settings, if that makes any sense.
- 4:35Speaker 2: It does actually.
- 4:35Speaker 2: So do you mostly just use astrology?
- 4:39Speaker 2: Do you use any other modalities then with it?
- 4:42Speaker 3: So for me it's been, it's mainly astrology.
- 4:45Speaker 3: So I'm looking at your birth chart, I'm looking at a yearly progression, which is your year ahead.
- 4:51Speaker 3: What kind of themes are going to come up for you?
- 4:53Speaker 3: What kind of obstacles are going to get in your way, thematically in your life?
- 4:58Speaker 3: And so what I do, especially in my LESM program, is that we look at your birth chart.
- 5:05Speaker 3: I then give you all of my notes that I basically took while I was researching your chart for our session.
- 5:13Speaker 3: You get this 10 to 20 page study guide, which I call like your cheat sheet, your cheat code a little bit, where, if you want to learn more about your emotions or why are certain things coming up for you the way that they're coming up, you can just go back into your study guide, see what's going on and be like, oh, that's right, that's how it feels.
- 5:31Speaker 3: Um, and then from there you get to do a personal q a that we get to sit down together for an hour and you get to tell me either revelations that you discovered, things that really set in for you, things, things you have more questions about, more clarity about.
- 5:46Speaker 3: From there we do a yearly progression reading Again, we look at your year and from there you, the client, get to decide well, what is it that I really want to work on, what are my goals?
- 5:57Speaker 3: And then I have these, what I call now what sessions.
- 6:01Speaker 3: So you know, when we all gain self-awareness, there's this moment where you're like okay, like now what?
- 6:08Speaker 2: do, I do with this information.
- 6:10Speaker 3: That's what those sessions are all about.
- 6:12Speaker 3: So we, you know, look at your year as a whole, look at you as a whole human being.
- 6:16Speaker 3: You decide what you want to work on and then in those three sessions, we really just put our heads down and have these conversations that hopefully are, you know, life changing a little bit.
- 6:28Speaker 2: Oh, wow, I can definitely see that happening.
- 6:30Speaker 2: So is this the I L Y S M mindset shift method?
- 6:36Speaker 3: Yes, exactly.
- 6:37Speaker 3: So I always say and I even have it here on my little sweatshirt, if you can see um, I always say Ilyasam to my friends.
- 6:45Speaker 3: When I say goodbye to anyone, I say Ilyasam.
- 6:47Speaker 3: It stands for I love you so much, and it's just a really cute, quick little way of you know saying goodbye, love you, goodbye.
- 6:54Speaker 3: And my mom, my whole life, was like never say I love you to anyone unless you mean it.
- 6:58Speaker 3: So I always just like abbreviated it to make sense for me.
- 7:03Speaker 3: I always just like abbreviated it to make sense for me.
- 7:10Speaker 3: And when I was sitting down and looking at my clients, looking at my business, looking at how I just am in life, anytime something is either going wrong or there's a little bit of chaos.
- 7:21Speaker 3: When I do something that I deem good for me or that is moving me forward in the direction that I want to go, I always say to myself I'm like, ah, ilyasam, queen, like I just say it to myself.
- 7:36Speaker 3: And one day I like that.
- 7:39Speaker 3: Yeah, I was like Ilyasam, queen, good for you.
- 7:42Speaker 3: Like I almost tripped and I caught myself.
- 7:44Speaker 3: You know, ilyasam, thank you.
- 7:45Speaker 3: Legs, um, and so from there it just again was another little no-brainer where I was like what if I just change the acronym a little bit and it's the intuitively love yourself mentality?
- 7:58Speaker 3: And like what if it's a mindset shift method, instead of just like, this is gonna make you become the best version of yourself?
- 8:06Speaker 3: Like yes, and I want you to intuitively love yourself, and the only person that knows how to do that is you.
- 8:16Speaker 2: Love that awareness that you're talking about, that people are starting to understand it.
- 8:20Speaker 2: People used to think that somebody like you would be kooky.
- 8:23Speaker 2: Like what do you mean?
- 8:24Speaker 2: Astrology?
- 8:25Speaker 2: You know, that person is a little bit kooky, they don't know what.
- 8:28Speaker 2: But I, I find the special in the last I don't know, 10 years or so that there is more of an awakening and more of an awareness that people are really trying to understand the world better.
- 8:39Speaker 2: I love the idea of that self-awareness, the unconditional love, the intentional living.
- 8:44Speaker 2: I think maybe it's the generations that are coming up now, but I think in the past it was kind of like oh, we don't talk about stuff like that.
- 8:51Speaker 2: We put that in the in the back burner.
- 8:53Speaker 2: You know, people do it, they hide it, right?
- 8:55Speaker 2: You know it was one of those things that they hide that knowledge or they don't want to share that and it's.
- 9:00Speaker 2: It's amazing and I just applaud you because I think more people are welcoming to that.
- 9:06Speaker 2: They want to understand more, more because they know that there's more out there and it's not.
- 9:10Speaker 2: We're not just in a box.
- 9:11Speaker 2: We, we live.
- 9:12Speaker 2: We have to learn to live outside the box, because there's so much, the world is so extraordinary and if we're willing to allow ourselves that freedom of expression, that freedom of allowing the powers what be to come into us, then there's so much we can do.
- 9:28Speaker 3: Yes, and the reason why I'm smiling so much is because you're using so many of the words that describe my personal birth chart, and so I'm like, yes, everything you're saying is exactly my purpose.
- 9:43Speaker 3: I think, on this planet Like these things that people want to hide.
- 9:48Speaker 3: Those are the exact things that I want to see and that the people that love you the most want to see.
- 9:53Speaker 3: And if you can't, you know, show those sides of yourself, then how do you expect yourself to love those sides?
- 10:03Speaker 3: You know, you saying people in the past, or even today, people would be like, oh, that, adri, she's a little kooky, which is like exactly the verbiage um, it's so funny because I'm like well, back back back in the day, you know, in early civilization, the people that were the most intelligent of the town, right, were these astrologers, were the spiritual guides, and I was talking about this the other day with someone that there's this saying that's like millionaires have therapists, billionaires have astrologers, or something like that, and someone was asking me about this and I was like, well, the thing is, is that back in these early civilizations, the people that had access to astrologers were like the royalty, the kings and queens, the aristocracy, and so minds like ours weren't given to the quote-unquote normal people of the day.
- 11:03Speaker 3: So of course, people have grown, or we've been conditioned, to think that that's not for us, but for me.
- 11:12Speaker 3: I want to make this as accessible to everyone as possible.
- 11:16Speaker 3: This is your information to have.
- 11:19Speaker 3: This is your birth chart.
- 11:21Speaker 3: Unfortunately, not all of us learned how to read them, but that's what I can do, and so it's your information to have, and I'm basically just that vessel to give you that information.
- 11:32Speaker 2: I love how you just share that, because isn't that the truth is like the wealthy had the access to people like you and now everybody does.
- 11:39Speaker 2: It's this huge secret, but not secret.
- 11:42Speaker 3: It's a huge secret, but not secret, that's exactly the way to put it.
- 11:46Speaker 3: And every time the reason I really got into wanting to be an astrologer was because I was looking for an astrologer myself, because mine had unfortunately unexpectedly passed away, and so I really wanted to find someone like her and that spoke like her, and so I was trying to find all these different people and the charges, the cost, the packages, the price was just astronomical for a better term, and I just don't believe in gatekeeping this information from humans.
- 12:24Speaker 3: This is your information to have.
- 12:26Speaker 3: These are 34 symbols that unfortunately, not everyone you know can really, I guess, fathom or like understand the full concept of it.
- 12:39Speaker 3: And so my old astrologer she used to say astrology is a science, delineation is the art, and with my background in musical theater, of course I'm a storyteller.
- 12:50Speaker 3: There's a big part of that but I have a lot of empathy and a big, big, big intuition, and so it's been really amazing to talk with clients and say certain things that all of a sudden I see their eyes, you know, widen a smile, come over, kind of a crash of relief, this wave that comes over them of oh my gosh, I've never been able to put it into words, and you just put it into words for me.
- 13:19Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness.
- 13:19Speaker 2: Well, this is great.
- 13:20Speaker 2: We are talking today about Boss Babe, summer, you know, and leveling up in life and career.
- 13:25Speaker 2: So how will this help our Boss Babes out there?
- 13:30Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing I'm like any sort of awareness that you gain, no matter where it is in your life, what area of life, that awareness is going to help you in every other realm.
- 13:42Speaker 3: And so with business specifically, and with women.
- 13:48Speaker 3: You know, we as a culture have conditioned women to maybe dream a little bit smaller when it comes to business, or taking away the femininity in business and that creativity.
- 14:04Speaker 3: And so what's amazing is that when I read someone's chart and I say you know, this is kind of the perception that you were born with.
- 14:13Speaker 3: This is something that might inspire you or, for lack of a better term, let a fire through your ass.
- 14:21Speaker 3: I don't know if I can say that here, but there's certain are going to be as inspiring to that person as it is.
- 14:30Speaker 3: And so when you're listening to, when we're having this conversation cause it's a conversation, I'm not here to just sit here and be like this is what it says in your chart, which means that this is exactly what's going to happen.
- 14:42Speaker 3: So you're only going to do this.
- 14:44Speaker 3: No, it's a conversation.
- 14:45Speaker 3: We talk about it, you get to ask questions and clarify and, like there's so much of us that we forget that we have the ability to tap into our drive or our will or our courage.
- 15:02Speaker 3: And so for someone that's a little bit more insecure, not knowing, not sure if they want to start something or not sure if they want to keep going.
- 15:13Speaker 3: There are different areas of the chart that you can tap into and look at and just talk about, and there are some massive revelations that can happen.
- 15:22Speaker 3: That I had to go through myself in my own life was oh well, I saw that my mom was an incredible stay-at-home mom.
- 15:31Speaker 3: I'm going to be an incredible stay-at-home mom.
- 15:33Speaker 3: That's all I want to be, and that to me I mean amazing.
- 15:39Speaker 3: If you can be a stay at home mom, what a dream.
- 15:41Speaker 3: I'm like.
- 15:41Speaker 3: That's amazing.
- 15:42Speaker 3: But all of a sudden, what I realized was my fear of being anything more.
- 15:48Speaker 3: I was just covering that up with this other, I guess like fantasy, if that makes any sense.
- 15:56Speaker 3: So once I had my birth chart read professionally and she was telling me you know, you're meant to run your own business, you're meant to go through things so that you can heal, so you can help others heal, I was like I don't want to have to go through all this stuff, so I can help others heal.
- 16:13Speaker 3: I don't want to have to do this.
- 16:14Speaker 3: And I was like and I don't want to work for myself.
- 16:17Speaker 3: And throughout the years I'm like wait a second, no, I am working for myself, that's exactly what I'm doing.
- 16:23Speaker 3: I am healing.
- 16:24Speaker 3: So there were things that, even when I had my birth chart read for the first time, that I wanted to reject just because of that fear.
- 16:31Speaker 3: And now I'm like I think my purpose is surpassing my fear.
- 16:36Speaker 2: That's fantastic.
- 16:37Speaker 2: Can people access you from all over the world?
- 16:53Speaker 3: Yes, of course you can head over to lovinglyadriecom, no matter where you are, and set up a reading with me.
- 16:57Speaker 3: Or look from El Salvador.
- 16:58Speaker 3: So I'm a first generation American, so I do have, you know, some clients that are born in different countries, which is the best, because all of that is what shifts your chart really is location, time and your birthday, and so being able to see how these different planetary functions manifest.
- 17:23Speaker 3: I mean, we're all humans and no matter where you're born, no matter where you're from, we all have the judgments, all of the conditioning that we've gone through.
- 17:35Speaker 3: We're all people and it's very neutral and it's a really beautiful thing.
- 17:47Speaker 2: I love how you just described that.
- 17:49Speaker 2: That's beautiful.
- 17:49Speaker 2: Yes, oh my gosh, adriana, I have had so much fun, so you've given us your social media.
- 17:56Speaker 2: Is there anything else, any other ways or ways that people can perhaps follow you, that they can get more information and, you know, not just from your website?
- 18:04Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely.
- 18:06Speaker 3: So you can follow me at Lovingly Adri on Instagram.
- 18:10Speaker 3: On TikTok, I actually just launched my YouTube channel, which is also Lovingly Adri and so on.
- 18:17Speaker 3: That channel I'll be talking about real life astrology, adri and so on.
- 18:22Speaker 3: That channel I'll be talking about real life astrology, unpacking different placements of the birth chart.
- 18:25Speaker 3: You know, asking people for what they want me to talk about, dealing with like Saturn returns, moon phases, all that kind of stuff, and I give a bunch of in these videos a little, a lot of free, little downloadable gifts.
- 18:38Speaker 3: So if you want to unpack your big three, there's things open for you there.
- 18:43Speaker 3: Or if you want to know how this Mercury retrograde because we're in one right now is affecting you, I'm about to release that video next week and there'll be a little gift attached to that that has to do with how the mercury retrograde specifically affects you.
