Episode 35 : This Parenting Breakthrough Saved My Energy (Birth Chart Parenting)
💫Episode 35 : This Parenting Breakthrough Saved My Energy (Birth Chart Parenting)
Parenting can feel exhausting when we’re unknowingly trying to raise our children in our own image rather than honoring who they truly are. In this powerful episode of Collective Guidance, Charla Goodnight sits down with astrologer, wellness entrepreneur, and mother of five Laura Lee Lotto to explore how understanding birth charts can radically transform parenting, energy management, and self-trust.
What unfolds is a deeply human, humorous, and soul-expanding conversation about astrology not as prediction—but as permission.
Astrology as an Energetic Blueprint, Not a Box
Laura shares how astrology became a life-saving tool in her own parenting journey. After realizing she was energetically exhausting herself trying to parent her children the same way she functioned, she discovered a profound truth:
Each child arrives with their own energetic design.
Through birth chart parenting, Laura learned:
Why some children are grounded “mountains” who don’t budge
Why others are fiery catalysts or deeply emotional feelers
Why trying to “change” a child’s nature often leads to burnout—for both parent and child
Astrology helped her shift from resistance to reverence.
When Surrender Becomes the Breakthrough
One of the most touching moments of the episode is Laura’s story of unexpected motherhood at 40—and how surrendering to what is opened her intuition in ways she never imagined.
This theme weaves throughout the episode:
Trusting divine timing
Letting go of control
Learning to listen instead of force
Understanding that resistance blocks energy, while surrender restores it
As Charla reflects, magic flows when we stop arguing with reality.
Birth Charts as Soul Music
Laura offers a beautiful metaphor:
Your birth chart is like a piece of music written just for you.
When we don’t understand it, we try to play someone else’s song—often a parent’s, teacher’s, or society’s expectation. Astrology helps us:
Identify what’s truly ours
Release inherited patterns
Live in alignment with our natural rhythm
This is especially powerful for parents, healers, and entrepreneurs who feel stuck, scattered, or energetically drained.
Intuition, Purpose, and the Journey to the Soul
Laura also shares the origin story of her year-long program Journey to the Soul, which was downloaded to her intuitively while cutting apple trees in winter.
The program guides women to:
Reconnect with intuition
Recognize how inner guidance speaks to them personally
Write and publish transformational stories
Become embodied examples of trust and authenticity
It’s a reminder that purpose doesn’t come from forcing clarity—it emerges through listening.
A Simple Ritual to Reclaim Your Energy
Before readings, launches, or meaningful conversations, Laura grounds herself with a simple practice:
Essential oils
A breath
A powerful affirmation
“I am a clear channel of divine knowledge.
I share this wisdom with compassion and confidence.”
This ritual reflects the episode’s core message: alignment doesn’t have to be complicated—it has to be true.
Key Takeaways from Episode 35
Parenting becomes easier when you stop parenting against a child’s nature
Astrology is an ancient energetic language, not “woo”
Burnout often comes from living out of alignment
Surrender is not giving up—it’s tuning in
Your intuition already knows the way
