It’s Hot Girl Math time!

On this week’s episode, we time travel back to 2016 to look at all of the cosmic clues that point us to the general energetic theme unfolding.

From astrology and numerology to news headlines and pop culture, we begin to dissect the subtle messaging that was weaved between everything we were experiencing that year—which was the beginning of the upheaval of the last cycle we just closed out.

The pressure hit a boiling point in 2016, and perhaps you experienced that in your personal life, too.

Whatever you used to allow, bypass, or make excuses for could no longer be ignored.

Given the astrology of the time, there was heightened energy around truth vs. illusion. The lines were blurred across the board, and this is when we began to wonder whether or not we’re still living in the same reality we always knew.

Something I forgot to mention in the video that is worth pointing out are the major TV shows of the time… drum roll please.

Two of the top shows of 2016 that just screamed alignment with the energy we unfolded together are: Stranger Things and Black Mirror.

And this is what the show is all about.

The purpose of Hot Girl Math is to show you how to decode the throughline of the clues from the Universe, so that you can tap into this knowledge yourself, while also build your self-trust. The signs are everywhere, you just need to learn how to pay attention.

At the end of the video, we come back to you—the star of the show.

What you experience on a massive scale is usually somehow connected to your personal journey, specifically, your shadow work journey.

I present you with three prompts to help you understand how your 2016 connects to the general themes we collectively experienced in 2016, so that we can get the full picture.

For those who want to dive deeper into the mystery, I’ve included additional prompts and reflection questions below.
