Who’s Ready to Play?

I felt like it was time to mix it up, and bring something light and fun to the table, because - it’s s a lot out there right now. When I was growing up, there was nothing I loved more than a magazine quiz, so I’ve created one just for you. I’d love to hear if it captures where you’re at the moment!

A soulful (and slightly sparkly) quiz to reveal your current energetic season, and what your system may be craving next.

Given that everyone is in a different place as we come up on the summer season, these questions are designed to help you name your current energy archetype, so you can honor where you are and support where you’re headed. No pressure, and no wrong answers, just a small handheld mirror to help you reflect.

Read each question and choose the answer that feels most true for you right now. Not who you were in January, or who you think you should be.

Sacral authority? Don’t overthink it—go with your gut.
Emotional authority? Take a beat before answering.
Need a sounding board? Read it out loud and listen for what rings true.

Enjoy!

🔮 Your Summer Archetype Revealed:

Mostly A’s – The Phoenix 🔥

Something’s stirring—and it’s you. You’re in a transformation zone. Ideas are clicking. You’ve Marie Kondo’d half your identity and what’s left is pure fire.

Your system is craving clarity, momentum, and maybe a dramatic entrance (with a train). Don’t be afraid to initiate. You’re not too much, just finally be you.

Summer mantra: “I’m not waiting for a sign. I am the sign.”

Mostly B’s – The Spiral Walker 🌙

You're in sacred integration mode. You might feel like you're spiraling, but it’s not backtracking, it’s evolving. You're moving through emotional layers, ancestral echoes, or just a serious case of can-everyone-please-leave-me-alone-so-I-can-hear-myself-think. This is not the season to rush. You’re not stuck, you’re steeping. This kind of depth takes time.

Summer mantra: “Stillness is not stagnation. It’s strategy.”

Mostly C’s – The Pollinator 🐝

You’re buzzing with curiosity, color, chaos, and probably too many open tabs. Your brilliance lives in motion, remixing, cross-pollinating. You are not built to stay in in your lane—and anyone trying to box you in should step off.

This is your season to explore without pressure. Try stuff. Say yes. Shiny objects aren’t detours, they’re clues.

Summer mantra: “If it’s weird and sparkly, it’s probably a yes.”
