Tonight's episode is the beginning of our brand new series "Karissa On..." a little side series here on Sleep Wave where I get to have relaxed, thoughtful conversations with people who I find inspiring — people who help us think differently about how we live, rest, and connect with ourselves.
Today I’m joined by Aliza Kelly — astrologer, author, and host of the Horoscope Weekly podcast. You may already know her for the way she talks about astrology in such a grounded, honest, and approachable way.
In this episode, we’re talking about astrology not just as a set of signs or predictions — but as something that can help us feel more in tune with who we are, what we need, and how we move through the world.
Whether you’re deep into your birth chart or just a little astro-curious, I think you’ll like this one…
