The Becoming You Project
The Becoming You Project is a podcast about the process of becoming — about remembering who you are beneath centuries of disconnection, conditioning, and inherited ways of living that were never designed to keep us whole.
Many of us feel it: a quiet sense of misalignment, restlessness, or numbness. Not because something is wrong with us — but because we’re living inside systems and stories that have slowly pulled us away from our bodies, our intuition, our rhythms, and our deeper sense of purpose. This disconnect didn’t happen overnight. It’s been centuries in the making. And right now, we’re living in the tension of that unraveling.
This podcast exists for those who can feel that we’re in the midst of a collective awakening — a paradigm shift where the old ways of operating no longer work, and something more honest, embodied, and humane is asking to be born.
Hosted by Jess Callahan — entrepreneur, purpose alchemist, subconscious guide, and post-graduate student of transpersonal psychology — The Becoming You Project blends psychology, spirituality, and consciousness to explore what it means to come back into relationship with yourself in a world that has taught us to live disconnected.
At its core, this work is rooted in one belief: True transformation happens when the body feels safe, the mind is clear, and the soul is awake.
Becoming yourself isn’t a single moment or destination. It’s a process — one that asks us to understand all the ways we’ve been shaped away from our truth, and to gently return to what’s real. In this space, deeper purpose is explored as a five-part unfolding:
• Nervous system regulation
• Deconditioning the mind
• Reconnecting with intuition
• Self-discovery
• Cycles of integration and embodiment
Through intimate conversations and reflective solo episodes, Jess weaves together somatic awareness, nervous system healing, astrology, intuitive reconnection, and soul-level work to support this journey from the inside out. Because individual healing is never just individual. When we reconnect with ourselves — when we regulate, remember, and live with greater awareness — our healing creates ripples. It changes how we relate, how we lead, how we create, and how we show up in the world.
And that kind of change is something our world is deeply asking for right now.
Each episode is an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and participate consciously in your own becoming — not as an act of self-improvement, but as an act of remembrance.

08. Astrology for Self-Discovery — A Roadmap Back to the Self
Astrology is so much more than knowing your Sun sign. It’s an interpretive art — a symbolic system that has been used for centuries to help us uncover meaning, illuminate our inner world, and bring clarity to the challenges we face in life.
In this episode of The Becoming You Project, we explore how astrology can serve as a roadmap back to the self. By looking at your natal chart — a snapshot of the sky at the moment of your birth — you gain a framework for understanding not just your personality, but your emotional landscape, your core wounds, your growth edges, and the legacy you’re here to leave.
This conversation goes beyond “astrology basics” and into the foundations of working with your natal chart as a tool for self-discovery and healing. You’ll learn how to:
- Understand your natal chart as a symbolic map of identity, purpose, and potential
- Explore the 12 houses of astrology as a life journey, from selfhood to service, relationships to transcendence
- Recognize how each zodiac sign brings archetypal energy that shapes how you experience different areas of life
- Work with key placements like the Sun, Moon, Rising, Mercury, and Midheaven as guideposts for clarity and growth
- See how astrology can bring meaning, self-awareness, and compassion into the moments where life feels complex or overwhelming
Astrology won’t hand you every answer — but it offers a language for self-understanding, a way to name what you’re experiencing, and a lens that helps you reconnect with who you really are.
✨ By the end of this episode, you’ll have a deeper sense of how astrology can illuminate your path, help you make sense of challenges, and reconnect you with the self you’ve always been becoming.
