The Lunar New Year arrives with a powerful shift — and this one feels different.

In this episode, we explore the Year of the Fire Horse and why so many people are suddenly feeling the urgency to change, move, release, and reclaim their own inner authority. From Chinese astrology and the transition out of the Year of the Wood Snake, to major Western astrological shifts like Neptune moving into Aries, this conversation weaves together energetic, somatic, and practical perspectives on what’s unfolding right now.

We talk about:

• Why people are “starving for a different clock” and why the Lunar New Year resonates so deeply
• The transition from Wood Snake shedding to Fire Horse momentum and action
• Fire as clean, intentional flame — not scorched earth or burnout
• Horses as intuitive, empathic, herd animals and what that teaches us about individuality within the collective
• Releasing burdens that were never yours to carry
• Nervous system overload, information saturation, and returning to the body
• Astrology as a tool for self-recognition and permission, not prediction
• Why this is a year to clear pathways — physically, energetically, and emotionally — before the fire arrives

This is not a year of being rescued.
It’s a year of recognizing yourself in the energy that’s rising.

The Fire Horse doesn’t ask for perfection — it asks for honesty, presence, and movement rooted in your own inner knowing. Small, true flames. Luminaries, not bonfires.

✨ In our next episode, we’ll share practical techniques and practices to help you work with this energy in grounded, sustainable ways.

Coming Back to the Mic: Shifts, Cycles & Listening to What’s Changing

After a brief pause, we’re back at the mic—this time with a brand-new setup, a lot of personal growth under our belts, and a few unplanned guest appearances from Elaine's dogs, Lilly and Amber 🐾

In this episode, we ease back into conversation by sharing what’s been unfolding behind the scenes: identity shifts, evolving roles, changing relationships with energy work, and what it means to step into new archetypal phases of life. We explore the Maiden–Mother–Crone cycle through both lived experience and spiritual tradition, reframing aging not as loss, but as a return to wisdom, sovereignty, and clarity.

We also touch on collective versus individual spiritual work, energetic boundaries, and the upcoming astrological shift of Neptune moving into Aries—a transition that invites greater autonomy, self-trust, and spiritually led action.

This episode is honest, reflective, occasionally spicy, and intentionally imperfect. Consider it a gentle re-entry into conversation, connection, and what’s emerging next.
