📝 Episode 67 Show Notes

As the Year of the Snake comes to an end, this episode is a reflection on shedding, healing, and releasing what no longer fits — even when it’s uncomfortable.

The Year of the Snake is associated with deep transformation, intuition, and truth. It’s not a year of loud wins or constant momentum — it’s a year that asks you to slow down, go inward, and let old skins fall away.

In this episode, I share 10 things I personally let go of this year, and why the shedding was necessary for the next chapter. As a single mom who has raised two children largely on her own, much of my life was built in survival mode. This year challenged me to soften, stop over-functioning, and choose myself without guilt.

I also talk about what’s ahead as we move into the Year of the Horse beginning February 17, a season of movement, confidence, and aligned forward momentum — not hustle, but purposeful action.

In this episode, we explore:

What the Year of the Snake was really meant to teach us

Why this year may have felt heavy, emotional, or quiet

The 10 things I consciously let go of in this season of shedding

How survival patterns show up for strong, independent women

What to expect energetically in the Year of the Horse

How to move forward without carrying old versions of yourself

This episode is a reminder that letting go isn’t loss — it’s preparation.

✨ You didn’t fall behind this year.

✨ You were shedding what couldn’t come with you.

You’re Not Behind — You’re Regulating (Full Moon Energy & Release)

In this episode of the Take Back Your Own Health Podcast, we slow things down and talk about something many women need to hear right now: if nothing feels like it’s happening, it doesn’t mean you’re failing — it may mean your nervous system is regulating.

As we move through a full moon from Sunday through Tuesday, emotions, exhaustion, and awareness can feel amplified — especially for women who have spent years in survival mode. Full moons often bring things to the surface so they can be released, not fixed or forced.

As a single mom who raised two children largely on her own, I share personal reflections on what it’s like to live in constant responsibility, always holding everything together — and how stillness can feel uncomfortable when your body learned safety through doing and producing.

In this episode, we talk about:

Why “nothing happening” can actually be a sign of healing

How the full moon can heighten emotions and nervous system responses

Why strong, independent women struggle with rest and stillness

Signs your body is regulating, not falling apart

Gentle ways to slow down and support yourself during a full moon

Simple journal prompts to help you release instead of pushing

This episode is an invitation to soften, breathe, and stop judging yourself for needing rest.

You don’t need to have everything figured out.

You don’t need to force clarity.

You are allowed to pause, regulate, and receive.

✨ Sometimes nothing happening is the safest place your body has ever been.

SEX: Sexual Energy Xchange — How the Wrong Partner Affects Your Nervous System

In this episode of the Take Back Your Own Health Podcast, we’re having a real, honest conversation about SEX — Sexual Energy Xchange — and how intimacy impacts the body far beyond the physical.

Every time we’re intimate with someone, we’re exchanging energy emotionally, hormonally, and through our nervous system. And when that exchange happens with the wrong person — someone emotionally unavailable, inconsistent, or unsafe — the body feels it, even if the mind tries to rationalize it away.

This episode isn’t about shame or judgment. It’s about awareness, embodiment, and protecting your energy.

As a single mom who has raised two children on her own, I share personal insights about what it looks like to live in survival mode for years — holding everything together, being strong, independent, and resilient — and how that can make us more vulnerable to confusing or dysregulating connections when we finally allow intimacy.

We talk about:

What SEX (Sexual Energy Xchange) really means

How the wrong partner can dysregulate your nervous system

Why intimacy with emotionally unsafe people creates anxiety, attachment, and self-doubt

Signs your body is reacting even when your mind minimizes it

Why chemistry without safety isn’t sustainable

How to reclaim your energy and choose peace over potential

Your body is intelligent.

If intimacy leaves you anxious, unsettled, or disconnected — that’s information, not weakness.

Healing doesn’t come from forcing yourself to detach.

It comes from learning to listen to your body and honor what it needs.

✨ You are allowed to protect your energy.

✨ You are allowed to choose emotional safety.

✨ You are allowed to walk away from connections that cost you your peace.
