[00:00:00] Welcome to The Life with Liz Podcast, the place to be if you wanna go from invisible to vibrant in your life, and embrace the power you didn't know you had inside of you. I'm your host, Liz Fleming, business owner, mom, military spouse, entrepreneur, founder, CEO, and life coach, who is passionate about helping ambitious women like you step into their power and their purpose on purpose so they can experience as much joy, success, satisfaction, and abundance as humanly possible.

Now. Without further ado, let's dive right into this episode. Oh my God, we did it. We finally did it. Hi. And, and it's Mercury retrograde and we're still doing it, girl. Um, no shit lying at all. My daughter like just broke her leg three hours ago. Like this is the most effed up year nine my entire life. Oh, wait, what personal year cycle are you in?

I'm in a six, so I've seen a lot of like. [00:01:00] Death, like just think relationships ending like big things. So I'm really, um, looking forward to chatting. Six is also the number that represents family. Yeah. So all relationships come up in a six, but also, um. Responsibilities are a big one in the six. Like what are you actually responsible for in your relationships?

Yeah, so it makes sense. Like obviously you're responsible for your kid, but also like a broken leg. Now you're really gonna like give love, like focus on family relationships. Wow. Yeah. Anyway, sorry to like cold open on you like that, but yeah, I can't believe you're here. I mean, amazing. Yeah. Well, and I just like, I mean, we have been gone back and forth and I was like, if this year's just gonna keep throwing curve balls like this, like I just, I need to figure this out.

So we just home, she's like, you know, eating with my husband and [00:02:00] whatnot. So I have my 30 minute window. And I was just so excited, um, to chat with you and just so grateful for your time and I think, um, I had replied to one of your stories on Instagram and that's how we started talking was like, I'm in a, I'm in a year six, I'm a life path six, so Oh, wow.

Yeah. And we're in a universal year nine, and I think you and I just got to chatting and I was like, this would be so cool to just bring to the podcast. Yeah. Yeah. So, no, it's so great to be here. Um, just before we dive into all the real, real, just give us kind of like the high level overview of what numerology is and how you got into it.

Yeah. So numerology is an ancient branch of esoteric wisdom. It's similar to astrology only. Instead of using the planets and the cosmos to tell us who we are, why we're here, what the energy is, that's around us. Uh, numerology uses the power of numbers and it's existed. Since literally numbers have existed.

So it's [00:03:00] actually as old as astrology and it shows up in a lot of ancient societies. But for some reason, and I think it's because some math is required, some very basic math is required. I think people aren't as into it as astrology. Um, but there are a lot of similarities. And I got into numerology. Uh. It.

Every time I tell this story, it sounds like I'm making it up, but I got into it because it came to me in a dream. One night I had a dream and I kept hearing this word or these words that were saying spiritual numbers, spiritual numbers. And when I woke up, I Googled it, found numerology on like the 12th page of Google.

'cause this was a while ago and had my first numerology reading. And at the time I didn't believe in astrology. I didn't believe in any of these spiritual tools. I thought all of it was bullshit and. When I had my first numerology reading, I could not believe that this woman who like had never met me, never seen me.

I didn't even have social media at the time. Like how did [00:04:00] she know everything about me just by my name and my birthday? Like it was so detailed. It was like there was just no way, like it was bizarre. And so. I just became obsessed with numerology and I, it was my hobby and I did it as a hobby for a long time.

And then people were like, oh my God, like everything you said happened. Can we pay you for a reading? And I was like, you're gonna pay me for what I do for free. That's crazy. But okay. Like I wasn't trying to make it a career. And then eventually I had this really successful word of mouth business that turned into.

A book deal with Penguin Random House and they found me. And now numerology is my thing. Yeah, girl. Yeah. It's, oh, and we're so lucky to have you. My gosh. Like, I can't even remember where I first heard about it. Um, I was kind of, I had my spiritual awakening like a few years back when I had my son, and then I like.

Started my manifestation [00:05:00] journey, like deep, and I think it just was one of those things that popped up and you came up and I like instantly read your book, you are cosmic code. And then I instantly jumped into your course and did that in like an hour or two and then like right away bought the planner.

Like I went down the, the list. Um, oh no, I did the report and then the planner that you have because I, I was like, I need to know everything about myself. Yeah. Like you, it's just, it's wild how accurate it is. And I just loved knowing that I had something to kind of guide me and it truly does guide me so well in life.

Um, especially the year cycles, I find because I. I am fluent in a lot of the systems. I've studied human design, astrology, numerology, the Maya, and the 52 card deck in depth. Like very in depth. And I will say out of all the systems, the only one that I'm like a hundred percent of the time this is accurate are the personal [00:06:00] year cycles.

It's wild. Like if you follow them, you will flow with life and it's actually crazy. I just, um. I have a client I started working with recently, and she came to me and our first, uh, call, she was like, I found you at the beginning of my year eight, and I'd never heard numerology before, but I found out it was my money year.

And she was like, I made so much money in that year following your planner, just following the planner that she was like, I was like, I gotta work with you. And like, I so believe in numerology and it's, it's crazy. Like, again, like, you know, because you're following the, the year cycles now, it's. Oh, on point.

So on point. Yeah. It's scary how on point it is, right? I'm just crazy. Yes. And it was one of those things where I was skeptical at first too. Like you were, I was like. This makes total sense, like numbers. I get it. There's shit written on the inside of caves from a million years ago. Like, who am I to question this?

You know? But I just [00:07:00] decided to like stay so open to it and it was one of those modalities that I just fully surrendered to and it is just rewarded me. Um, uh, you know, yeah. Granted, there are hard times like we were just talking about. Um, but it's helped me to navigate my life a bit better, which I think is.

Really the point, right? Yeah. To, to bring you more into a flow. And honestly like I, I think that when you're aligned with the personal year cycles, you manifest so much easier 'cause you're flowing with the energy as opposed to going against it. And you know, again, I always tell people like, yeah, it sounds wild, it sounds crazy, but it's existed for this long.

So there's some truth to it. There has to be. Otherwise, why would it still be here? Right. I'm like, just give it a try. Just try it. Like it won't even hurt, just like what's your year cycle? And just think about the themes of your year and see how it aligns. And every time I've ever suggested that to someone and they do it, they're like, I seriously cannot believe, like we really [00:08:00] can see just how cyclical we are when we're tracking our patterns.

Yeah. It's so wild. And I think what I didn't realize too is just how interconnected. The numbers are with things like astrology, like so many, yeah. That that was so much easier for people to like absorb and dive into and accept, right? But then like you, God forbid, you introduce something new, people are like, oh my God, what is this?

I can't do it. But I've really seen the similarities and all of these things in some way, shape or form. And I love hearing that you kinda. Learned a lot of different things, like you dove into like the 52 card deck and all the other stuff, so you had kind of a baseline that you were working with, but like numerology really stuck out to you.

Um, I just love to hear that. So. If you all wanna learn all about what Caitlyn and I are talking about, I highly recommend reading her book. You Are Cosmic Code, um, because she dives into how to chart your numbers. [00:09:00] But for the sake of this conversation, obviously we don't have time to like talk about everything because it is so detailed and it's personal and unique to each person.

But can we just like, at a really, um, like basic level talk about what a universal. Your number is and a life path number and. How those kind of operate and set the tone for what we're talking about here in this instance. Yeah, so the universal year cycle references the collective theme that's happening each year.

So our universal year is 2025, and if you add to plus zero, plus two plus five, that will come out to a nine. So right now we're in a universal year nine. There are also personal year cycles that are based on your birthday. But what we're talking about right now is the universal, your energy. And again, this is the energy that we're seeing playing out on center stage on earth.

That's what's going on. And again, it tells us the [00:10:00] themes that are coming up. It tells us the direction we're moving in. And this year is especially significant because it is a year of endings and closure. So it's a huge shift. A nine is usually the most transformational year. 'cause you're having to let go of a lot of things to step into a new cycle, which is the year one, which starts all over again and again to, sorry, it's the end of the day.

I should have said this before. The year cycles go in cycles one through nine and they repeat again and again and again. So they're only nine. Nine cycles, and we've come to the end of one right now. So it's a major turning point for us. And the life path number is who you are at your core. It's kind of like your sunshine in astrology.

It's the path you're here to walk. It's your strengths, your challenges, it's what you're here to do. And that's based on your full birthday. So you add your birthday up. So if you're, you know, October 11th, 1994, you would add up those numbers and [00:11:00] that would. Give you your life path number. Mm-hmm. Yes.

Amazing. And then like, when you observe and chart them all together, like, and Caitlin has these incredible monthly planners that like, help you do that, which is what I'm talking about here. Um, it's, it's just a great way to visualize and guide you through each year. But I think for anyone just starting out, um.

Remaining open to this stuff and doing your due diligence and learning about it if it's peaking your interest. And then, I mean, my next step after I read the book was downloading my personal report. 'cause I felt like I could only go so far 'cause I was so new to it. And that really just like cracked my show open.

I, I learned so much and it's just been such a fantastic guide for me. Um, and it's, I love too, that you brought up. How to possibly combine this with other modalities. And I'm just so interested to know like how this kind of correlates with [00:12:00] things like human design. 'cause I'm also really in tune with that and Ooh, what's your design?

Yeah, so I am a generator and I have a sacral authority. I'm a three six. Oh yeah. So, oh, okay. Yeah. I'm like just a whole bowl of mush over here. But, um, I've been trying to. Use both together. Yeah. To guide me, like, um, so being a sacral authority, it's like full body. Yes. For me, I lead, I'm fully intuitive. Um, and then just kind of as I go through each month and each week number, I'm really trying to like, use that as a guidepost.

Hmm. Forward. But I just, I'm curious too, like what's your advice for combining numerology with other modalities and techniques like that? So I think that all of these modalities are saying the same thing, but in their own unique way. So how I usually work with it is that I will go to each system, um, for specific reasons.

So for [00:13:00] human design, I like to look at human design to understand how we make decisions and how our energy operates. In the world, right? There's a huge difference between like a manifester and a generator and a projector. And again, your sacral authority. I'm emotional authority. Yeah. So I got from my emotional wave to do this whole thing, which is really tiring, especially since I'm a manifester.

I'm like, I just want things. I'm a three five, so it's a bit of a nightmare over here. But yeah, I'll look to human design to tell me about my energy, but then I'll look to astrology for transits and for like natal placements, and I'll look to numerology to be the basis of everything that tells me, like, who is this person at their core?

I'll use the 52 card deck if all I have is a birthday and I just need a quick understanding of like a connection between two people. 'cause it's really easy to read those like, oh, you're born October 4th. Okay, you're Venus to, you know, November 5th. That makes sense. Mm-hmm. And then with the Maya, the Maya is its whole, whole thing.

Right. [00:14:00] But I just look at that to understand. Karmic influences. And again, the Mayas, I usually don't talk about that one 'cause it's so complicated. But yeah, I go to each system, um, for a specific reason. And whenever I work with clients, it's the same thing. Like I notice that certain clients will gravitate towards certain modalities and they're like, I only wanna work with human design and numerology.

I don't like astrology. Or I only wanna work with astrology and not numerology. And you know, again, I think you just gotta see what resonates most with you. Yeah, I agree. I agree. I kind of cherry pick them too. I don't like stay hard and fast to one. Um, but I definitely feel like above all numerology like taken the priority for me.

Mm-hmm. Um, I think it was the monthly planner. I know I keep bringing it up. I sound like such a nerd, but like I've always. Like journaling, but it's been hard for me. Like I get really intimidated by a blank page. Um, I've started also doing the morning pages, thanks to the weekly forecast. Yeah. Oh my God.

Every I do them. It's [00:15:00] wild. It's so helpful. It's so amazing. So when I, when I have this monthly planner that's like broken down for my personal year numbers like it, it's. So, and I'm prompted in such a way that it like unpacks me. I'm like, oh, I didn't think of it like that. Yeah. So it's really interesting.

And then at the end of the month to go back and reflect is my favorite part. Like I look so forward too. It's like my favorite day of the month. I always tell everyone, I'm like, please, like at the end of the month, make sure you reflect back. And then my goal was always. Creating these each year. You could go back like, oh, I remember when I bought my last year nine planner and now I'm in my new year nine, and you can compare the books and be like, oh my God, that's what I was doing back then.

It just makes it so much easier to have it that way. I. Yeah, that's my favorite thing that you remind people of too on Instagram is like, okay, we're, you know, we're going into this month or this year cycle [00:16:00] universally. So what were you doing in 2015? I was like, oh damn. Oh shit. You know, it's like, it really ref, it really only works if you reflect.

It'll like serve you better, um, just to kind of know what you were going through. And it's, it's not all bad. I know we're in a universal year nine, but. Um, there are so many beautiful things that also come from the nine and like things that are meant to transition and transform, like you said, like a metamorphosis.

And yeah, I think that there's, um, just so much value and knowledge in here and I'm so honored that you're the one that's guiding us on this beautiful journey. Uh, I just thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Um, so what advice would you give for. The listeners out there who are hearing us and they're just kind of like, I think I want to, but I'm a little hesitant.

I'm a little skeptical. I know we kind of touched on that before, but is there like one overarching piece of advice that you would give to that person who [00:17:00] is on the fence? On the fence? About numerology? Yeah. Or like kind of interested in numerology. Doesn't know where to start. I think maybe both. Like they're hearing this conversation and they're like, this stuff sounds cool, you know?

But I don't know, like should I dive in? Like what's kind of your vibe? I would say I look at numerology as a tool for reflection and for us to understand ourselves better and to know ourselves better, and to make more aligned decisions. If you're someone who's reflective and just wants to learn more and you're into like, you know.

Learning and self-discovery and even self-help like. I think it's worth giving it a go. I would say if you're totally new to numerology and you're like, I wanna, I definitely wanna check this out, definitely start with knowing your life path number, your life destiny number, and your personal year cycle.

If you just know those three, those are enough to change your life and. [00:18:00] I have all that information for free on my Instagram, so there's no like gatekeeping here. Yeah, you can go on my Instagram and check it out. And of course if you wanna go deeper, I also have like reports and everything like that. But start there and just see like how does it feel, like, what does it feel like to reflect on, oh, I'm a life path one.

Like, okay, I'm a leader. How am I leading in my life? I'm supposed to be innovative. Like am I innovating the spaces that I'm in? I'm super creative. Like am I tapped into that? And even just reflecting on those questions. Is enough to add significant value to your life, whether you think numerology is quote unquote real or not.

I love that. And I, I 100% agree, like no one's forcing you to believe something or like do something you don't wanna do. It's just a matter of getting to know yourself better. Like the self-mastery piece is what it is for me, and I feel like it's what it is for most people. It's like, oh, I, I never knew myself in this way before.

And by being [00:19:00] curious and allowing myself to dabble in all of this stuff, I'm being prompted in new ways. That's like. Helping me ask the right questions and, you know, just get more information. So I, I think there's just so much value in it. It's so fun. So, um, we're about at our time, if you can believe it or not.

Um, so is there all day? Honestly, I feel like I got shot out of a Canon. It's like a, we're both here today, so I'm like, oh, am. We're coming off in Aries of Clips. I'm like, oh my God. No. And I, I watched the forecast yesterday and I was like, oh, okay. Sophie's talking about how we filmed that right there. Yes.

Oh yeah, you did. I loved it so much. It was so good. Um, yeah, I was like, we should just film them at home from now on. So I'm gonna film them. I got a new iPhone today. Um. I had the iPhone 12, so I upgraded myself to the 16. So I just did that too. That's so funny. I'm just gonna film it on this. [00:20:00] I'm like, it's just so much easier.

Yeah. And I just loved how real it was, but I, I love to, so she talked about the eclipse, kind of like come down and I was like, oh, that's what that is. I just thought that once it was over, it would, I would magically be. Back to normal. Wow. But I felt like hungover, like I just felt weird and I don't really drink, so it was just like, whoa.

Um, but what, what kind of like threw me off kilter obviously today was like, whoa, I've just felt so great. Like, you know, I just did my journal. It's like April 1st and I'm like, this is, you know, new beginnings. I'm, I'm. You know, it's a month one for me. So I was so optimistic and hopeful and we had a great day and then it was like, bam.

And it's kind of that reminder like, oh yeah, I just need to keep nurturing the relationships in my life and my family and, um. So it's always there. It's always there, but it, it is hard and it's just nice to know that even when it is hard [00:21:00] that we have guidance thanks to beautiful humans like you who share their brain and their wisdom.

So I appreciate that so much. Yeah. Yeah, I'm just trying to help help you, me, as best I can. Well, thank you so much my friend. Yeah, thanks Liz. Thanks for having me. Did that go by too fast?
