I also talk about how to use a simple “parking lot” note and a four questio...

Have you also seen videos on social media that made you stop and think "wait... is that real?" It's not just AI slop that's deceiving us.

Change is hard, not because we don’t know how, but because we don’t always want to. In this episode, I explore what really fuels resistance and how it shows up differently for each of the four elements (Fire, Earth, Air, and Water).

We’ve been taught that independence equals strength. Especially as women, we tell ourselves we should be able to do it all: the finances, the strategy, the planning, and hold it all together. But what if that belief is what’s keeping you stuck and exhausted? What if real strength isn’t about doing it alone?

In this episode, I shine a light on this pattern from the perspective of the dominant elements. How the Fire type’s passion can turn into frustration, the Earth type’s reliability into stubbornness, the Air type’s brilliant ideas into scatteredness, and the Water Type’s empathy into overwhelm and blurred boundaries. I also weave in Jung’s wisdom o...

We are stronger than we think and courage means doing what feels uncomfortable, owning your choices, and most of all, having your own back when things don’t go as planned.
