If you wanna master it, teach it." (upbeat music) Have you ever wished you had a wise meditation teacher on speed dial? Someone you can call after a long day. Someone you could lean on for their advice. Someone to listen and help you to see things differently. Welcome to "Dear Headspace." (upbeat music continues) Hi, everyone. Here we are together again for another episode of "Dear Headspace," a podcast where I sit down with one of our meditation teachers and we answer your questions about drama, family, family drama. I'm Robin Hopkins and I am sitting here with my gal pal, Rosie. Hi, Rosie. Hey, Robin. I'm so excited to be here, as usual, with the hostess with the mostess. I'm, like- Oh my gosh. Looking forward to this conversation. Well, Rosie, I have to say, so I just got through birthday season in my house, 'cause I've got two kids, and both of their birthdays are within two weeks of each other. And they're both, like... They're both different signs, but they're both stubborn signs, which makes our house super fun. But I've been thinking a lot about like signs and astrology, and I was wondering, I don't know what your sign is. And then I also wanna know, as a follow-up question, do you believe in all that jazz? I am a Cancer. Okay. Which a Cancer, it's a water sign. And they're supposed to be one of the most nurturing signs, very much about grounding and creating a good space in their environment. Very- I mean, you're just describing you, Rosie, so you must believe in this. (Rosie chuckles) Like, I know all this about astrology, but at the same time, I think it's like everything, you gotta take it with a grain of salt. I know- Sure. A lot of people in my life that are very, very, very much into the prescription of astrology, and I'm totally supportive of whatever rocks your boat. (Robin laughs) I enjoy it. I think it's fun, it's entertaining, but at the same time, I just like to be a little bit more in control of what's going off in my life. (Robin and Rosie laugh) So yeah, that's my feel. What is your sign? I'm the most Leo of all of the Leos. I mean, it's like, of course, that makes sense, right? Absolutely. I'm like Bossy McBosskins. It's like, of course, I'm a Leo (laughs). I love that you're a Leo. Leos are great. See, now I'm gonna go into this whole... Leos are great. I love all the signs, but I feel like Leos and Virgos and Libras are my favorite to work with. Interesting. Well, like, while we're on this track, like, what's the craziest self-helpy thing that you've ever done? I mean, by the way, mine is like a psychic. Like, I don't even know...
