In this powerful episode of Inner Light, we sit down with NG Avant—author, oracle card reader, and former political insider—to explore how writing fiction and honoring lunar rituals became her path to healing and empowerment. From exposing political misconduct to crafting stories that dismantle patriarchy, NG Avant shares how the Capital City series gave her voice back after trauma. She explains how she aligns her writing and life with moon cycles, uses oracle cards for self-reflection, and shifted from burnout to inner balance as a single mom and full-time author.
This episode is a must-listen for women, writers, cycle-syncing creators, and anyone ready to turn pain into purpose and reclaim their power with ritual and words.
About the Guest – NG Avant:NG Avant is a former political staffer turned indie author and intuitive guide. She writes fiction that blends personal truth with political commentary and spiritual tools. As a single mother of three and creator of a moon journal, she channels lunar wisdom and storytelling to help others heal, rebel, and rise.
Key Takeaways:
NG Avant transitioned from a career in politics—where she experienced sexism and trauma—into writing empowering fiction through her Capital City series.
Writing became a form of reclamation. She created a character who responded to injustice the way she wished she could have, giving her catharsis and agency.
Her process includes aligning her writing goals with moon cycles—manifesting on new moons and reflecting on full moons.
She uses oracle and tarot cards not to predict the future, but to unlock deep self-awareness and subconscious truths.
Her rituals ground her as a mother and author, allowing her to honor her rhythms and avoid burnout.
Writing for NG is not just creative—it’s spiritual, political, and personal healing.
Fiction allows her to explore and challenge internalized misogyny, validate women’s lived experiences, and create space for intersectional feminism.
She encourages all women to begin with radical self-reflection: “How am I feeling right now, and why?”—letting that be the first line of their healing narrative.
