About the show

This podcast is for the ones who want to do business DIFFERENTLY. For those ready to reject the old school of business that glorifies burnout, profit-at-any-cost and fitting in with “the boys”. We know that UNIQUENESS is our superpower. That operating in our zone-of-genius will lead to higher satisfaction and reward. There’s a way of building a successful and satisfying business that is both authentic and purposeful. And it starts with understanding the strategies that specifically work for YOU. I’m here to make this powerful insight mainstream, to bring the “Cosmic Cutting Edge” to the people. It’s time for this information to come out of the shadows and for us to stop pretending that cosmic systems like Astrology & Human Design don’t hold the keys to our self-actualisation & success. They do. You won’t find any marketing bros, cookie cutter approaches or ‘3 guaranteed steps to success’ BS here. Because there isn’t one path to success…there is only YOUR path. And the one thing you need to be…is BOLD. *** Rachel Star is the founder of the empowerment brand Cosmic Queen and the business movement, Nova 2025. She exchanged a successful career in tech for entrepreneurship and now teaches and mentors ambitious entrepreneurs using mindset techniques and advanced Astrology and Human Design insights. She is passionate about bringing the "cosmic cutting edge" to the mainstream. Cosmic Queen offers courses, certifications and coaching to those who want to build a powerful personal brand and a business with impact. Reach for the stars and discover you are one.

75: STOP doing it all alone. Hyper-independence, isolation and eldest daughters

I know there are exceptions to the personality stereotypes behind birth-order theories….but then there are the first-borns. Eldest daughters especially have a pretty universal experience as independent, often-parentified, responsible Type A overachiever types. But what happens when we find ourselves hyper-independencing ourselves into isolation and stuckness? That is no way to run a life or a business!Regardless of your gender or birth-order, if you identify with what I’m talking about, with feeling like you have to do it all by yourself, this episode is for YOU.Shoutout to my responsible Queens, Kings and Royals. You don’t have to do it alone. In fact, especially in business or with creative projects, you shouldn’t.

74: Personal Development leaders have LOST THE PLOT. On cowardice and compliance vs courage and care.

I fear Personal Development leaders and coaches have lost the plot.This podcast is one near and dear to my heart and my mission. This episode is specifically for people in the personal development space, who have a platform and are thinking about how they use their voice during these crazy times amidst the rise of fascism and erosion of human rights (in many countries not just the USA). I’m not going to mince my words here. I’m seeing too many “thought leaders” promoting cowardice and compliance instead of courage and care and I’m OVER it. I wanted to make this podcast to further a very important conversation my industry needs to have about speaking up vs being silent about world events, or even just events in your backyard happening to your clients and community.This week alone I’ve heard leaders in my industry say:* “This has nothing to do with me”* “Neutrality is more spiritual”* “Stay in your lane”* “Protests don’t do anything”* “It’s more important to just regulate your nervous system and run your business right now”* “Don’t give into the ‘pressure’ to speak out”* “Human Design shows that some people are not meant to be spokespeople for collective issues”As coaches and personal development leaders, we’re supposed to help people to live more authentic, joyful and fulfilled lives so they can create a better world for us ALL. It was ALWAYS A COLLECTIVE MISSION, never only a personal one. While some may have lost the plot, I know we can get it back.Let’s talk about it…***FOLLOW RACHEL STAR’S WORK AT COSMIC QUEEN:Astrology & Human Design courses: https://www.cosmicqueenhq.com/storeCosmic Leadership Archetypes eBook: ⁠https://www.cosmicqueenhq.com/mm-archetypes-ebook-signup⁠Tik Tok: ⁠www.tiktok.com/@cosmicqueenhq⁠Youtube: ⁠https://youtube.com/@cosmicqueenhq⁠Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/cosmicqueenhq/⁠Latest Offerings: ⁠https://linktr.ee/cosmicqueenhq⁠CQ Website: ⁠https://www.cosmicqueenhq.com/⁠The “Cosmic Cutting Edge” Substack: This is a public episode.

73: Being inconsistent is killing your dreams - Break the cycle this year

I know you’ve got some big goals and dreams this year, but one thing may be stopping your progress or holding you back….being inconsistent with taking action towards your goals.We’ve got to talk about this because INCONSISTENCY is the swamp monster from the deep that will kill your dreams. I know that our community here at Cosmic Queen are naturally inconsistent, we’re highly creative, we’re unconventional, we’re smart, we’re mostly neurodivergent (yaassss!), we’re empaths and intuitives, we don’t like to follow the rules the world lays out for us, and that’s beautiful! AND when it comes to achieving our dreams we still have to learn to thrive in a world of practicalities and structure. We have to GET things done if we want things done. So how do we address the elephant in the room?…how do we stay consistent when our energy isn’t? The first step is understanding WHY we may be taking action inconsistently. This episode will help you diagnose your inconsistency (discover the 4 main reasons people are inconsistent with action) and break the cycle this year!Let’s dive in…***COMING UP AT COSMIC QUEEN:Cosmic Kick-Off Year Planning Workshop Jan 17: https://www.cosmicqueenhq.com/offers/4t98eFjNJoin the Constellation Membership to elevate your life with cosmic insight every week!: https://www.cosmicqueenhq.com/constellationcommunitymembershipCQ 2026 Astrology and Human Design Forecast: https://www.cosmicqueenhq.com/cq-2026-forecast-event***FOLLOW RACHEL STAR’S WORK AT COSMIC QUEEN:Astrology & Human Design courses: https://www.cosmicqueenhq.com/storeCosmic Leadership Archetypes eBook: ⁠https://www.cosmicqueenhq.com/mm-archetypes-ebook-signup⁠Tik Tok: ⁠www.tiktok.com/@cosmicqueenhq⁠Youtube: ⁠https://youtube.com/@cosmicqueenhq⁠Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/cosmicqueenhq/⁠Latest Offerings: ⁠https://linktr.ee/cosmicqueenhq⁠CQ Website: ⁠https://www.cosmicqueenhq.com/⁠The “Cosmic Cutting Edge” Substack: This is a public episode.
