May asked you to reclaim yourself. To name what you need. To stop shrinking.

June is here to show you what can't survive that reclamation.

This month we're moving into a 16/7 universal energy - a 16 is a Karmic Debt number. I know it sounds scary...but it really just means the structures, the stories, the agreements that were never really yours? They come down this month. And what's left standing is the real you.

In this episode I'm breaking down:

• What the 16/7 actually means and why this month has extra voltage
• The high/low vibration of 7 energy and how to tell which one you're in
• What to expect and what to DO in money & business, relationships, and career

THE MONEY THREAD

The financial fog may get louder in 7 energy. Soul CFO Summer Camp is open for your bookkeeping. Send me your books, I've got everything from there. Drop me a message for more info!

Okay so May's energy walked in and immediately started pointing at things. Rude. But also kind of perfect timing.

May 2026 is a 15/6 universal energy month and the 6 is the caregiver archetype in Pythagorean numerology. Which means this month has a very specific message for every woman who has been quietly running herself into the ground for everyone else and calling it love. I see you. I am you. Let's talk about it.

In this episode:

🔢 What the 15/6 energy actually means for May & why the 1 and 5 inside it matter 

🌀 April debrief: the 14/5 freedom through discipline energy, what it stirred up, and what a women's horsemanship circle taught me about calm boundaried love 

🌿 High and low vibrations of 6 energy, including the sneaky ones nobody wants to admit to 

💰 The Money Thread! A brand new segment because over giving personally and undercharging in business? Same wound, different room. 

🎯 Real action steps for May 

The question underneath everything this month: are you giving from love or from fear? Heads up: it’s sneaky question!

Want to go deeper with your numbers? Reach out and we'll figure out which reading is right for you. 

Freedom sounds great until the universe pulls out its Karmic Debt receipts. 😅

This month's forecast is a big one. April 2026 carries 14/5 energy - and that 14 is a Karmic Debt number in Pythagorean numerology, which means we've got some unfinished business with freedom. Specifically: the kind of freedom we've chased without structure, scattered without intention, or avoided altogether by hiding behind "I'm just a free spirit."

Sound familiar? Same. 🙋‍♀️

I'm walking you through everything you need to move through April with clarity, intention, and yes... a little FAFO energy for good measure.

You'll learn:

• Why the 14 Karmic Debt makes discipline the non-negotiable theme of April
• The high + low vibrations of 5 frequency and where you might be hiding
• What the 5 looks like as a female archetype -> embodied, sovereign, and wise
• Practical action steps for your money, relationships, and career this month

March is a 4 energy month in a 1 year — which basically means it’s time to stop surviving and start building the supports that actually hold you.

If you’ve been feeling stretched, burned out, or like you’re carrying too much, that’s your signal: your old systems aren’t enough anymore. This month is about upgrading how you manage yourself, your money, your work, your relationships, and your caregiving or motherhood role.

Not a dramatic “burn it all down” moment. A build it better moment.

Think practical routines that actually stick. Boundaries that protect your energy. Financial systems that give you freedom instead of stress. Emotional habits that don’t leave you drained.

March is steady, intentional, and unapologetically about putting your energy where it matters most. Because April’s 5 energy will shake whatever you build...if it’s solid, it expands. If it’s shaky, cracks show.

February brings 3 energy, the energy of creativity, expression, and emotional honesty. This is the month where ideas want air, feelings want language, and creativity wants movement.

In this episode, we explore what it really means to work with February’s energy:

• Why creativity is not about being artistic, it’s strategic thinking in motion

• How emotions become useful information instead of something to manage or suppress

• The high and low expressions of 3 energy and how to stay grounded

• Why saying the thing often unlocks the next right step

• How this month supports collaboration, visibility, and momentum

February is not about perfecting. It’s about expressing. When you say the thing, you create the thing. And that’s where alignment begins!

What if 2026 isn’t asking you to try harder, but to stop repeating what drains you?

This Universal 10/1 Numerology Year follows a powerful cycle of endings—but it doesn't ask for a hard reset. It demands a New Agreement.

It’s the quiet, sovereign decision to stop negotiating with old patterns that cost you your clarity, your energy, and your truth. This is the year the old contract expires.

In this episode, I share what 2026 really brings: why it feels tender, not fast, and how it invites you to draft new terms for your freedom—especially in relationships, work, and the roles you’ve outgrown.

This is where old ways of operating become too uncomfortable to renew… and writing your own rules finally feels possible.

If you’re done with old cycles and ready to build from clarity, not force… your year starts here.

December 2025 brings a 3 Universal Month inside a 9 Universal Year, and the energy lands like a full-body emotional reset. After a year of deep caregiving, release, and identity shifts, this month finally gives us space to express who we’ve become.

In this episode, I break down:
• what the 3 energy means for your emotions, creativity, and self-expression
• how this month completes the entire 2025 arc — Aug’s boundaries, Sept’s release, Oct’s integration, Nov’s pause
• why caregivers (at home or at work) may feel this month more intensely
• how December helps you find your voice again after a year of holding so much
• a quick preview of 2026’s fresh-start 1 energy
• and how my little joy project, FossBakeryBox, became the unexpected medicine I needed

This is a month of truth-telling, creative spark, and emotional release — the perfect final chapter to a 9 Universal Year.

In this episode, I debrief August’s 8 energy and what it means to step into main character energy after years of self-abandonment.

This month, you’re not being asked to hustle, you’re being asked to claim.

August 2025 brings us an 8 energy month within a 9 energy year, and that means one thing: it’s time to take your seat at the table. Not with force. Not with apology. But with clarity, courage, and grounded feminine power.

In this episode, I walk you through what the energy of August is really about...not just from a numerology lens, but from the perspective of a woman standing at a life or career crossroads.

If you're feeling the inner push to show up differently in your work, relationships, or identity, this month holds something specific for you.

You’ll hear:

• What the 8 energy is inviting you to release and reclaim

• Why the 9 energy of 2025 makes this month a turning point

• The kind of power the divine feminine brings (and why it matters now more than ever)

• Practical actions you can take in life and career to align with this energy

• A message for those ready to stop shrinking and start leading

This is about personal sovereignty. Self-respect. Soul-aligned leadership.
And yes...it’s about trusting that you already know what needs to happen next!

The cards are in the air, friend...and July’s 7 energy is asking you to trust the chaos.
We’re in a deeply spiritual month inside a 9 year of sacred endings. That means big shifts, big feelings, and a whole lot of truth rising to the surface.

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal journey through June’s emotional intensity (spoiler: it kicked my butt), what the 7 + 9 energy combo really means for your life and work, and how to move through this sacred reshuffling without burning out or checking out.

Whether you’re navigating caregiving, business pivots, grief, or “WTF is next?” moments, let this be your energetic anchor!

June brings a 6 Universal Month inside a 9 Universal Year—a powerful energetic pairing that asks: Are you carrying too much? And what needs to shift to feel more like yourself again?

In this episode, I’ll guide you through the emotional and energetic themes of the month, including how the 6 shows up as responsibility, nurturing, beauty, and the sacred art of creating boundaries. You’ll learn how to recognize the high and low vibrations of the 6, why it’s so common to feel overwhelmed or frozen in this energy, and how to return to clarity through self-devotion and creative expression.

This isn’t just a numerology forecast, it’s a soulful roadmap for anyone who’s been feeling stretched thin, stuck in perfectionism, or unsure how to move forward in life or work.

✨ What you’ll hear in this episode:

• How to spot imbalanced 6 energy in daily life

• The power of a “positive no”

• Why creativity is soul medicine this month

• What the 6+9 energy combo is helping you release for good

It's an exciting time when you're ready to expand, but are you truly prepared for the financial side of things? Let's explore the crucial spa business metric you need to keep an eye on before taking the leap.

It's easy to get swept up in the excitement of growth plans, but have you checked your financial reports to see if your business can handle the upcoming costs and expenses? Sometimes, our optimism can cloud our judgment. And the usual Profit/Loss statement from your bookkeeper or the sales from your Point of Sale are not enough to make a wise decision that’s based on calculated risk. 

Numbers Are Navigators…Again!

But fear not, there's a key number hiding in your booking system that can give you a clear view of your financial readiness. Running a spa business on a budget requires mindfulness. Jumping into growth initiatives based solely on perception can lead to some sticky situations. Just think about it:

• Hiring before you're truly busy enough can strain your finances.

• Introducing new products without enough sales can hurt your cash flow.

• Expanding your space too soon adds extra expenses without boosting revenue.

Let's talk about the big KPI that sits at the critical point of growth decisions: Productivity and it’s your compass during spa growth planning. In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What Productivity tracks in your business.

• The green light Productivity number for growth.

• Where to find this metric in your spa software.

• How often to check your Productivity metric.

• What you should be looking for while you’re tracking this KPI.

I'm very much about tapping into your intuition, trusting your intuition in your business, letting that guide you hundred percent. But we also need to pair that with the data, the actual numbers. - Kirsten Foss

What’s Your Productivity KPI At, Dear Spa Owner? 

Discovering what Productivity means & how it affects your spa business and team growth outcomes is a huge eye-opener. When I first learned all of this information, you would have seen my mouth hang open in disbelief! “OH!! That’s why I’m so cash strapped. I didn’t know what to look for BEFORE I dropped thousands of dollars on that new hire that I didn’t end up staying because it wasn’t busy enough.” and “OH!! Now I see where the opportunity gaps are with my sales!!”

Now the question is “How do I increase Productivity”

I would love to answer that for you! It’s a big topic and I’ll make that for another podcast. 

If you could use a seasoned Spa Business Strategist (that’s me!) to get eyes on your spa sales opportunities, book a Get-Acquainted call with me. I’ll show you how to analyze and use your reports to make strategic growth decisions that will bring your more client sales and financial freedom!

Happy April 1st! This ain't no joke - April's Business Numerology Forecast says it's time to step into this month's amplified CREATIVITY & COMMUNICATION because It's a 3 energy month y'all.

But first, a quick reframe about what “being creative” means. We’re not referring to the paint & sew kind of creativity you think about when the word "creative" is mentioned. For you, dear Spa Owner, the 3 energy refers to the incessant flow of creative ideas & solutions you have for your clients and spa business type of creativity. Yes...you see it now, don’t you? Agreed! You ARE very creative!! 

I’m diving into how the wonderful energy of April provides us all an opportunity to amp up our creativity, communication, and those heart-to-heart connections in life & spa business, which fuels growth and brings fresh innovations to their businesses. Consider this forecast as your trusty spring guide to make the most of these potentials! You’ll also want to watch out for the most common 3 energy traps - it's the other side of the massive creativity coin that can undo your entrepreneurial creativity if you're going in blind.

• Discover how numerology can guide your business decisions and strategies for the month of April

• Uncover the secrets (not-so-secret when you can decode it!) of capturing April’s 3 energy to drive growth and success in the spa business.

• Learn why emotional intelligence will be especially needed this month to become a more effective and empathetic leader in your business.

• Make note of four specific dates in April that will act as portals to structure, creativity, letting go & balance.

“In numerology, the biggest piece to remember is that we study the energetics of the numbers one to nine, and at any time, we get to choose whether we are expressing the high vibration or the low vibration.” Kirsten Foss

Enhancing Emotional Intelligence for Business

We learned that emotional intelligence isn't just about understanding and managing our own feelings, but also about navigating the emotions of others, paving the way for more enriching and sustainable business relationships.
