Stay ConnectedChart your Career is a podcast from Heidi Rose Robbins and Ellen Fondiler.
Each podcast episode explores a question from two listeners as they try to navigate their dilemmas about career choices and life purpose. Heidi works deeply with the language and guidance of astrology while Ellen offers inspiring, actionable, practical next career steps. They help listeners reimagine how to best design your life and call in renewal, reinvention and a new chapter.
Heidi and Ellen talk to Marquisha and Mary. Marquisha is a professor. She is a planner and likes to think about the future. She has some expansive ideas and wonders if she should go all out or build more locally and slowly. Mary has had a long and winding path to get to event planning and then to floral design. She recently moved across the country for a great job opportunity that did not pan out. She is now jobless in a new small town with no professional network and is trying to figure out how to proceed. Ellen and Heidi also talk about the books Atlas of the Heart by Brene Brown; This is Your Destiny byAliza Kelly; The Hulu series The Great with Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult; and Jane Campion's new film The Power of the Dog.
Heidi and Ellen talk to Toland and Kirsten. Toland has recently started a coaching business. So far she has just had friends and family as clients. She finds she is procrastinating about the next hard steps and wonders how to break through the logjam. Kirsten has a human resources job that she hates and has a dream to open a wedding venue in the woods. While she has taken steps to make the wedding venue a reality, things are moving slowly and she is doubting herself. Ellen and Heidi also talk about King Richard with Will Smith (HBO Max); House of Gucci (in theaters); Get Back, Peter Jackson's new series about the Beatles (Disney Plus); and The Wheel of Time (Amazon).
As we leave the deep waters of Scorpio, Heidi and Ellen welcome the fiery sign of Sagittarius. This is a month of vision. We set goals. We seek out and offer inspiration. We feel fiery and passionate and enlivened. We feel the wind beneath our wings. Ellen and Heidi also talk about the many creative people that have birthdays this month, including Taylor Swift, Emily Dickinson, Mary Queen of Scots, Jane Austen, Mark Twain, and Britney Spears.

Heidi and Ellen talk to Kim and Barbara. Kim is in school for counseling and, at the same time, is feeling very drawn to full-time motherhood. She wonders if the time is right to take that big step. Barbara too is at a crossroads. For the past 23 years, she has been a musician, a career that she never loved, and has recently decided to leave that behind. She is having a hard time finding something she is drawn to and is becoming convinced that she won't ever find something that resonates. Ellen and Heidi also talk about The Morning Show (apple tv+); Succession (HBO); the Tom Hanks movie- Finch (apple tv+); and a book Ellen recently read called Sorrow and Bliss by Meg Mason.
Heidi and Ellen get back together after almost a month apart! They diverge from their usual format to share stories and catch up and talk about where they have been and where they are going.
Heidi and Ellen talk to Jenna and Adan. Jenna is currently a student midwife working at a birth center and also works part-time at her local food co-op. She loves both jobs but is wondering if it's time to let go of the job at the co-op. Adan has long worked for a locally-owned outdoors shop as the Operations Manager. His dream was to buy the shop one day, but that is seeming less and less likely as the years go on. He wonders if it is time for him to put his energy into finding something new and let go of the dream he once had. Ellen and Heidi also talk about the series 'Billions' and the new movie 'Roadrunner' about the late Anthony Bourdain.
Heidi and Ellen welcome the sign of Scorpio, the season of depth and healing. It is a time of tenacity and research. We don't give up. We don't give in. We rise to the occasion. We name what ails us and shed skins. We claim our inner power and wield it well. Ellen and Heidi talk about some big Scorpio birthdays, and do a deep dive into the chart of the beloved folk artist, Joni Mitchell ( her sun, moon and rising are all in water signs). Heidi reads a poem by David Whyte (also a scorpio!!) called 'The Well of Grief'.

Heidi and Ellen talk to Alyssa and Brynnen. Alyssa got a master's degree in puppetry and is looking for a job in a creative field. Since the pandemic and the disappearance of live events, it has been hard to find something in the areas she loves. She is feeling a bit lost and hopeless. Similarly, Brynnen has found the last year to be a stressful and unknowing time. She has previously designed the interiors for luxury hotels but wants to move on to doing something smaller and more of her own making. She feels a bit daunted and confused about how to step forward. Ellen and Heidi also talk about Season 2 of 'The Morning Show'; 'Muhammad Ali 'by Ken Burns (on PBS) and 'Only Murders in the Building' with Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez.
