Facing Fears, Letting Go,  and Breathing   What if the thing you're most afraid of… is the exact mountain you were meant to ski? Welcome back to Be a Warrior. I'm Angie Heuser — above knee amputee, equine therapy lover, skier, and someone who refuses to live life from the sidelines. And if you've been following me the past several weeks, you know we've been diving deep into the energy of the Year of the Fire Horse — a year of movement, momentum, fearless expansion, courage, and decisive action. But before the fire horse came the snake. And I can't stop thinking about that metaphor. The Year of the Snake ended February 16th — a year of shedding. And if you've ever seen a snakeskin left behind, you know it's both fascinating and a little unsettling. Snakes don't just slip out of their skin like changing clothes. They rub up against rough surfaces. They press into discomfort. Sometimes it takes extra effort around the face or certain tight spots to fully shed what no longer fits. It's not gentle. And neither is growth. When I think about amputee life — about losing a limb, whether by trauma, illness, or in my case, elective amputation after years of surgeries — there is so much shedding. Shedding fear of the unknown. Shedding anger. Shedding grief. Shedding the identity we once had. And it doesn't happen smoothly. It happens against the rough edges of life. But once the shedding is done? The new skin is ready to grow. And that's where the Fire Horse comes in. This year only happens every sixty years — the Horse combined with the element of Fire. It's bold. It's fast. It rewards courage. It exposes comfort. It does not tolerate stagnation. And if you've built your life around playing small, it's going to make you very uncomfortable. Which brings me to the ski slopes. If you follow me online, you saw we were just in Park City. I've been skiing since I was seventeen — long before amputation. But I'll tell you something honestly: there isn't a single day I clip into my ski that I don't feel fear. Even now. Especially now. Three months after my amputation in 2018, I got back on the slopes. I had already missed five years of skiing due to surgeries. I had told my husband if I didn't ski that April, I might never do it again. So I did it scared. I did it sick to my stomach. I did it unsure. And here's what skiing has taught me — lessons that mirror life perfectly. First: the person in front of you has the right of way. On the mountain, it's your responsibility to avoid the skier ahead of you. What's behind you? That's their responsibility. Isn't that life? If I constantly look behind me — at my past, my trauma, my failures — I lose balance. Literally. With one leg, if I look back, I fall. And metaphorically? Same thing. If I live looking backward, I miss the beauty and the hazards in front of me. That doesn't mean I ignore the past. I learn from it. I listen. I stay aware. But I don't let it dictate my line down the mountain. Second: you will face forks in the slope. Left might be safe. Right might be steep. Green or black diamond. Easy or challenging. Comfort or growth. The Fire Horse energy says choose courage. Choose the line that stretches you. And I had that moment on this trip — two blue runs splitting off, one steeper than the other. I heard myself say, “Just go.” So I did. I picked up speed. I carved hard. I pushed myself. And eventually, my leg gave out and I ended up on my butt. Not a dramatic crash — more of a tired surrender.   Take five and reassess your path every now and then   But here's the thing: I was proud of that fall. Because if I'm not falling occasionally, I'm not pushing hard enough. Growth requires risk. Risk requires vulnerability. And vulnerability sometimes ends with snow in your face. Warriors aren't built in comfort. They're built in the steep sections. Third: breathe. One of the biggest lessons my ski instructors taught me after amputation was breathing rhythm. As I carve down the mountain, I exhale into the turn and inhale as I rise. The mountain becomes a rhythm — breathe in, breathe out. When I hold my breath, I tense up. When I tense up, I rely too much on my upper body. When I breathe, I find flow. How often in life do we grit our teeth and forget to breathe? When we breathe through discomfort, we release tension. We think clearly. We stay grounded. Whether you're walking in a prosthetic, stepping into a hard conversation, or heading into an interview — breathe.     Finally: visualize the run. I watched Olympic skiers at the top of the mountain, eyes closed, moving their bodies as they mentally rehearsed every turn. They had already succeeded in their minds before pushing off. That's not luck. That's preparation. If you only visualize falling, you'll hesitate. If you only picture failure, you'll create it. But if you visualize walking confidently in your prosthesis… if you visualize that difficult conversation going well… if you see yourself succeeding — you are building neural pathways toward that outcome. Will you still fall sometimes? Yes. But falling isn't failure. It's feedback. The Fire Horse doesn't reward perfection. It rewards courage. It rewards action. It rewards getting uncomfortable. I came home from those mountains thinking about all of you. About the warriors who are afraid to let that bold part of themselves out because it might mean discomfort. It might mean risk. It might mean exposing the places you've been playing small. But that's where grit is forged. That's where character is polished. That's where life gets amplified.     So here's my call to action: Do the thing that scares you this week. Maybe in baby steps. Maybe messy. Maybe imperfect. But do it. If you fall, smile. Ask yourself what you just learned. Visualize the next attempt. Breathe. Adjust your line. And go again. Stop waiting for the perfect mood, the perfect date, the perfect version of yourself. The mountain is here. YOUR mountain! Embrace it, charge forward! The Fire Horse energy is here. And you, warrior, are more capable than you think. Have a be-YOU-tiful week ahead and as always, Be healthy. Be happy. Be YOU!!!   Much love, What’s your “mountain”?

A school administrator and massage therapist wants guidance on how to respond to a student who is reluctant to work with clinic clients who report a history of herpes. Is this a significant risk for massage therapists? The reality is that anyone with a history of herpes simplex can shed the virus intermittently, even without visible symptoms. However, the risk to massage therapists who follow proper hygiene and self-care protocols is extremely low. In that sense, herpes falls into the same category as other infections that may be transmitted through direct contact but are effectively managed with consistent hygienic practices. The key issue is not the client's infection status; it is the therapist's adherence to appropriate hygiene protocols. Resources: Ang, J.Y. et al.

This week, Scheana welcomes Kiki Monique and Ryan Bailey back to the studio. From Lunar New Year superstitions (no sweeping, no black outfits, and Kristen Doute on strict “don't break anything” watch) to baby prep and psychic readings from the other side, nothing is off limits. Ryan reveals his baby girl's name and jokes that karma may have caught up with him after once spilling Summer Moon's name before Scheana was ready. They also compare birth plans versus delivery-room reality (because sometimes sh*t goes out the window… or on the table). Then it's a deep dive into Netflix's Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model. Kiki admits she used to be one of Tyra's biggest defenders — until this documentary reframed everything. The trio unpacks reality TV's pressure machine, accountability, and body commentary culture, as Scheana reflects on her own experiences on Reality TV, and explains why stepping away from it can be the only way to grow. Plus, they discuss Dorinda stepping up after Jill's E! exit, and Scheana reveals which friendships she shed in the Year of the Snake — and why, in the Year of the Fire Horse, she's not going back.

Send a textHow do you move a high school graduation rate from 60% to 87% in a few short years? In this high-energy episode, Senior Instructional Coach Daniel Rock and Leadership Coach Erin Anderson-Williams sit down with Dr. Marck Abraham, CEO of MEA Consultant Services and author of What Success Looks Like.Abraham challenges the traditional, "mushy" definition of school culture, replacing it with a "Culture of Love" rooted in high expectations, objective data and a relentless focus on student results. From closing achievement gaps for Black male students to navigating "low vibration" conversations with staff, this episode provides a strategic roadmap for any leader looking to move the needle in their building.Key Discussion PointsThe Mechanic Shop Analogy: Why "feeling good" in a school is meaningless if the "car" (the student's education) isn't actually fixed.The "ABC" Data Buckets: A deep dive into the three metrics that truly matter: Attendance (student and teacher), Behavior and Course passing data.Teacher Attendance as Culture: Why teacher attendance is the primary indicator of whether you have built a culture where people feel seen and valued.Hard on Data, Soft on People: Strategies for using objective rubrics and report card audits to hold courageous conversations without making them personal.Shedding the Sugar: Why a quiet classroom isn't necessarily a learning classroom, and how to shift the heavy lifting of instruction from the teacher to the students.Featured GuestDr. Marck Abraham is a renowned educator, author and speaker who has served as a community mentor, school counselor and principal. He is recognized for his work with organizations across the country, such as the Obama Foundation, and his ability to drive significant gains in graduation rates and attendance across diverse school districts.

2026 is asking something new of you. Not more hustle. Not more noise. But resonance. With your truth. Your path. Your body. Your life. That's what ARRIVE is about – a free 3-day global activation designed to bring you home to yourself. Join us. Feb 17–19 • Live • Online • Free​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​​ ​​ ➤ Join the Free Fire Horse Challenge Now: Sign up here   ——- REWILDING WEEKLY ——- In this episode, we dive into the 8 core themes shaping Feb 9–15: the Great Sorting, karmic doors closing, destiny-level discernment, and the Saturn–Neptune reset that begins warping reality as we know it. 8 Themes 1. Strategy + Soul Truth Collide Early week: Mercury with Pallas Athena brings clear mental strategy. Midweek: Chiron and Eris stir old wounds and karmic noise. Prompt: What thought pattern or belief has run its course? 2. The Final Shedding + Great Sorting You'll feel it in your bones: what's lifeless, misaligned, or just done. This is your sacred “no more” moment. Practice: What feels drained vs. what feels destined? 3. Heart Wide Open… But Is It Yours? Venus in Pisces opens the high heart — compassion, creativity, devotion. But be discerning: this love can blur your path. Prompt: What's mine to love — and what's not? 4. Karmic Reckoning: The Basement Gets Lit Saturn with Lilith + Kali at 29° Pisces = soul detox time. This is ancestral, preverbal, and unavoidable. Care Tip: Don't analyze — move it. Sweat it. Dance it. Bathe it. 5. The Pressure Valve Pops (Finally) Friday's shift into Aries brings relief and forward motion. You may feel it as clarity, fire, or just… breath. Prompt: What one choice moves me into alignment right now? 6. The Wound Is the Way Through Mercury, Venus, and Sun activate Chiron. This week, your deepest sensitivity could turn into embodied wisdom. Prompt: If this part of me is sacred… how am I being called to live it? 7. Miracle Field Is Live This isn't just energetic — it's available magic. The more you align with soul, the faster reality responds. Practice: Each morning: What magic wants to move through me today? 8. Reality Warps — Anchor in Soul Saturn + Neptune shift signs. Illusions fall. Clarity rises — but only if you drop into your own knowing. Prompt: What feels unshakably true in my body — even if no one else sees it? ——————— Mark These 3 Energy Days TUESDAY, FEB 10 — Venus enters Pisces Your heart opens. Your intuition heightens. This is the softening — a dreamy, expanded frequency of love. But stay discerning: Pisces blurs boundaries. Ask: Is this mine to carry, or am I getting swept into something that isn't true for me? FRIDAY, FEB 13 — Saturn enters Aries Friday the 13th — and Saturn moves. After sitting at the most karmic degree all week, the Lord of Time crosses into Aries — and the pressure begins to lift. This is your first inhale into the new. Expect energy shifts, timeline clarity, and the return of sacred momentum. SATURDAY, FEB 14 — Sun square Uranus (Valentine's Day) Disruption meets desire. The Sun squares Uranus — and love gets a dose of wild truth. Expect surprise insights, unconventional urges, or a craving for radical freedom. This isn't a candlelit dinner vibe… it's more wear leather, break the rules, and liberate your heart. ——————— Rituals for the Week ​​​​​​​ 1. Soul Sorting Practice Carve quiet space. Breathe deep. Ask: What is done? What is rising? What is asking to be born through me — now? Write it. Whisper it. Walk it. 2. Body as Oracle Your nervous system is your guide. If it contracts — pause and question. If it expands — lean in. This is how truth feels. 3. Morning Magic Attunement Each morning, before the noise… Attune to the miracle field: Let me live from soul. Let me walk in magic. Let me trust what moves through me today.

This is the fifth and final episode in our Shell-Shedding Moments series, a series where CEOs and leaders share the vulnerable moments, the challenges, mistakes, and personal revelations that most people never see. In this episode, Logan McClure Davda, CEO of TED, reflects on stepping into leadership at one of the world's most influential idea-sharing organisations and the personal shifts that came with it. From making the hard decision to leave a dream role, to learning how to move from “doing” to creating space for others to lead, Logan shares her learnings on letting go and finding the courage to lead in a new way.

This is the fourth episode in our Shell-Shedding Moments series, a series where CEOs and leaders share the vulnerable moments, the challenges, mistakes, and personal revelations that most people never see.

Are you feeling the pressure to have a "brand new you" this year, but you're still stuck in the same old skin? In this episode, Coley and Nina peel back the layers on the stories we tell ourselves. We're moving past the "New Year, New Me" clichés and getting into the messy reality of identity shifts. From the dance between masculine and feminine energies to the exhausting weight of people-pleasing, we ask the hard questions: Why do we feel the need to be understood by everyone? Is it okay to be the "sidekick" in a world obsessed with main characters? And how do we keep "breaking through" when the world keeps trying to make us small? If you've ever felt like you're "too much" and "not enough" at the same time, this honest, unpolished check-in is for you. We're embracing the cocoons, the hibernation, and the beautiful, inevitable evolution of who we're becoming. In this episode, we cover: Why "over-explaining" is the enemy of self-trust. The difference between "settling" and finding your natural gift as a supporter. How to handle the fear of adding more "noise" to the world. The 2026 vibe: Expansive energy and owning the room.

Send us a textReady for a frank reset after a year that tested every seam? I'm opening the curtain on the “year of shedding”: long-time team members leaving, an IP scare that cut deep, and the decision to step back into client work to rebuild standards and clarity. Out of that churn came a sharper model—paid acquisition as the engine, organic as the trust layer—and a repeatable funnel that books local services solid and sells property without an agent.We dig into the ad mix that actually works in 2026. Meta remains the scale lever, Google Ads is back for the right intent categories, and Pinterest Ads quietly outperform for lifestyle because users arrive in curation mode, ready to act. TikTok Ads still feel high-touch and budget-heavy, while organic TikTok can shine if your brand voice fits. We break down why halving ad spend can stabilise ROAS, how to craft offers people truly want, and why respectful, dignity-first messaging converts better—especially for women in skincare and wellness.Two case paths prove it. First, a simple but powerful local service funnel: targeted ads to a CRO-driven landing page plus a thoughtful introductory offer. It's been booking salons and clinics without the constant social posting treadmill. Second, a new venture—Proper—that uses the same digital spine to sell property privately: targeted ads, a compelling property page, and structured lead handling. We sold faster and cleaner than a traditional listing, and we're building case studies to help more owners take control.If you're weighing a niche shift, wrestling with team changes, or just tired of content grind without returns, this conversation will meet you where you are and hand you a simpler path forward. Subscribe, share this with a founder who needs a reality check and a roadmap, and tell me: should we lean harder into lifestyle or keep a foot in professional services?

Christopher Lyons is the CEO of AIM Services Incorporated, a role he has held since 2018. With a rich background as a trial attorney, Christopher has over 25 years of legal experience across various U.S. jurisdictions. He has also served in the New York State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities and has worked as national counsel for a major human services insurance program. Christopher has significantly expanded AIM's reach, supporting over 4,000 individuals across the state. He is well-versed in topics like dignity of risk, provider liability, and standards of care in human services.Episode Summary:In this thought-provoking episode of DSP Talk, host Asheley Blaise engages with Christopher Lyons, CEO of AIM Services Inc., to delve into the often overlooked right of "dignity of risk." This episode explores how individuals in the developmental disabilities field can benefit from embracing risks rather than being shielded by fear and liability concerns. Christopher extensive knowledge and experience to this discussion, making this episode a must-listen for anyone involved in the caregiving and support sectors.The discussion unveils a transformative approach to person-centered support that prioritizes autonomy and self-determination over traditional, risk-averse paradigms. Christopher emphasizes the importance of recognizing individuals with disabilities as unique people entitled to their agency and capable of making decisions involving risk. Through illustrative examples and legal insights, he effectively advocates for a shift from a control-focused model to a supportive one, empowering individuals to lead fulfilling lives. The episode also includes practical insights into moving away from a risk-averse culture towards one that champions dignity and autonomy.Key Takeaways:The concept of "dignity of risk" involves balancing safety and the rights of individuals with developmental disabilities to make autonomous choices, even if that involves risk.A paradigm shift from agency-driven to person-driven models is essential for supporting autonomy and fostering genuine inclusion for individuals with disabilities.Legal liability should not overshadow the importance of supporting individuals to experience life fully, learn from failures, and achieve personal success.Collaborative decision-making, transparency, and documentation are vital for balancing risk and ensuring that all stakeholders are aligned on supporting individual autonomy.Notable Quotes:"At the core of our human dignity is our ability to own our own successes, to have the results of our choices, our free will.""It's not just enough to invite somebody to the table. You have to believe they belong there.""We are not a guarantor of the safety of the people we support.""Never say no, always say how, and then work through that together.""Support isn't control; it's support. Shed your selfish fear."Resources:AIM Services Inc. WebsiteThe Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)Olmstead RightsTune in to this enlightening episode for a thorough understanding of how embracing dignity of risk can lead to richer, more autonomous lives for individuals in the developmental disabilities community.

Welcome to Shell-Shedding Moments, a series where CEOs share the vulnerable moments, the challenges, mistakes, and personal revelations that most people never see. Today's episode is with CEO Zaid Al-Qassab who opens up about his experiences with depression, the challenges of leading while managing mental health, and the power of vulnerability in the workplace. Zaid shares how embracing these moments can strengthen resilience, deepen connections, and create healthier work environments.

The world feels heavy, the snow won't quit, and emotions sit closer to the surface than usual—so we decided to name it, feel it, and turn it into momentum. We trace a powerful arc from the year of the snake to the year of the horse, unpacking why this transition can stir grief, restlessness, and a craving for renewal. Instead of forcing positivity, we get honest about the last six years, the hope that keeps returning, and the very human need to lay down what no longer fits before we pick up speed.I share the story behind my favorite Barbados mug and the retreat energy we're bringing into May: confidence, sisterhood, and the courage to show up as the truest version of ourselves. From there, we dig into the work of shedding. You'll get simple, grounded rituals to release looping fears and rigid opinions—write it down, burn or bury it, breathe it out—and embodied practices that help emotions move through your body rather than getting stuck in your throat and shoulders. We talk candidly about motherhood and identity, how old judgments can become cages, and why cracking the door on a once impossible desire can change your entire trajectory.Then comes initiation. The horse year is about action, not endless wishing. We lay out what messy action looks like in real life and why rest is strategic fuel, not a setback. Think fewer screens, more sleep, tiny creative moments, and the confidence that grows when you keep small promises to yourself. By the end, you'll have prompts to decide what you're leaving behind, language to speak your next step out loud, and a renewed sense that your energy matters in a world that needs your voice.If this resonates, send me a DM to share what you're releasing, grab one of the final retreat spots, or ask about a Human Design reading. And if you're loving Selfish Confidence, subscribe, share this episode with a friend, and leave a quick review—it helps more women find the courage to act.Barbados Retreat --> https://jessclerke.com/barbados-retreatBarbados Retreat Waitlist ---> https://jessclerke.myflodesk.com/retreatThank you for listening to Self(ish) Confidence!

HELLO BEAUTIFUL LISTENERS! Thanks for joining for this solo episode. Today I share some life updates & wanted to touch on the final two weeks of the Year of the Snake and what that might enTAIL (pun intended). I also ask the question,  Is this the intermission of your life? At this time, you don't have to know what you're shedding. Just trust and let it go during this final stretch of the Snake. Only 2 weeks left. There may be some grief for the things you have to release because they didn't work out. There is a mourning here that occurs when we shed our lost hopes and dreams for the time that has passed.My hope is that this episode offers some comfort, encouragement, and support during what may be a heavy & difficult time. Hang in there, keep going, don't stop here! Greatness is just around the corner.Donations To Women Waken To Support The Show Are Greatly Appreciated

When we think about environmental impacts in the outdoors, we often focus on things we can see: litter left behind, eroded trails, overcrowded trailheads. But some of the most significant impacts are invisible, and they're showing up in places many of us consider pristine.In episode 208 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we're talking about microplastics in remote wilderness areas and what new research is revealing about how they get there. Joining me today is Dr. Tim Keyes.Prior to joining Welch College of Business & Technology in 2019, Dr. Keyes was employed by General Electric as a Senior Risk Analytics Manager for 22 years, and for seven years prior to that he worked as a Senior Systems Engineer at Measurex/Honeywell. He now consults with banks and nonprofits through his company, Evergreen Business Analytics, LLC.In addition to his professional work, Dr. Keyes leads adventure science expeditions with students to research air and water quality across the Northeast United States. He has summited all of the high peaks in the Adirondack and Catskill Mountains in New York, the Green Mountains in Vermont, and half, to date, of the high peaks in New Hampshire's White Mountains.Professionally, Dr. Keyes has published more than ten professional papers and holds seventeen patents related to risk analytics. His most recent refereed research was published in 2023 in the peer-reviewed Elsevier journal Heliyon. In 2025, an adventure science expedition he led received global attention for its potential impact on environmental health and backcountry recreation.Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/outdoor.minimalist.book/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theoutdoorminimalist.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@theoutdoorminimalistBuy Me a Coffee: ⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/outdoorminimalist⁠⁠⁠Listener Survey: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://forms.gle/jd8UCN2LL3AQst976⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠------------------Learn MoreResearch: https://adkh2h.org/wp-content/uploads/Return-to-Lake-Tear-Expedition-Report-September-2025.pdfGuardian Article: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/oct/13/microplastics-hiking-shoes-outdoor-gear Rozalia Project: https://www.rozaliaproject.orgFootwear Collective: https://earthdna.org/home/the-footwear-collective/Guppy Friend: https://www.patagonia.com/product/guppyfriend-microplastic-washing-bag/4260750820839.html

Bonus EpisodeThis was a bonus episode I had to record.As we approach the final days of the Year of the Snake and prepare to enter the Year of the Fire Horse, I'm sharing very honestly what this last shedding has looked like in my own life. The relationships, patterns, habits, and identities that can't come with me into what's next… even when letting go hurts.This episode is about grief, nervous system overwhelm, sugar cravings as a symptom (not the problem), and the real work of choosing ease over urgency. It's about listening to your body, protecting your energy, and understanding that growth doesn't always look like pushing harder, it often looks like making space.If you're feeling like something is coming to an end…If you're exhausted, overwhelmed, or clinging to things that once felt safe…This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and consciously choose what you're ready to release—so you can step into what you're calling in.

These final weeks of the year of the Snake ... will set the stage for your passionate forward momentum and leadership in the year of the Fire Horse. Listen in to understand how to work with this energy to liberate more life force for creation, and finally let the past go... so you can blast forward into your new beginning. This year, the Lunar New Year aligns with a Solar Eclipse.  This is rare and I can't possibly think of a more powerful start to the year of the Fire Horse.

We open the new year by celebrating real momentum—Rising Star growth, marathon listening, and fan-favorite ratings—then move straight into a candid story about alignment. When a “forever job” turned toxic, we made the hard call to leave, and that decision sparked a cascade of healthier choices: a mission-driven remote role in cancer care, a routine that actually supports family life, and a dedicated she shed office to protect focus and sanity.We unpack how small, concrete steps build the courage for bigger moves. It began with clearing clutter—cabinets, drawers, expired items—and grew into a deeper audit of values at work. If your day-to-day doesn't match your beliefs, stress compounds. Switching to remote care meant fewer distractions, better privacy, and the priceless ability to catch first steps at home. The final tie to the past was a per diem safety net that only made financial sense on paper. Once released, an unexpected cleaning gig arrived that replaced (and then exceeded) the income while offering something rare: calm. One decision to stop holding what drained us opened space for opportunities that fit.We also reflect on last year's most-downloaded episode—Loving an Addict: A Daughter's Journey—to honor why vulnerable stories resonate. Even with backlash, honest conversations help people feel seen, and that's why they travel. If you're weighing your own change, we share practical steps: brain-dump what's heavy, start with easy wins, set boundaries around misfits, and trust the void you create. Titles and old goals can be comforting, but pruning is how growth happens.If this conversation hits home, tap follow, share it with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a quick review to help more people find the show.

Rebirth doesn't begin with becoming—it begins with letting go. In this season opener, we talk about what it really means to shed the old version of yourself—the one built to survive, not thrive. This episode invites you to honor who you've been while releasing what no longer serves you, making space for healing, growth, and reclaiming your power.Together, we'll explore the discomfort that comes with change, the courage it takes to start over, and the commitment required to stay on the path of becoming. This isn't about erasing your past—it's about transforming it and stepping into a new chapter with intention.If you're ready for a clean slate, a deeper level of self-awareness, and a season of becoming who you were always meant to be, this episode is where your rebirth begins.

How do the past versions of ourselves prevent us from experiencing who we are? How can we become more present to what exists in our lives, to the people, callings, and divine encounters that reveal themselves to us every day? The Zohar says "The righteous live every day as if it is their last." What does this teaching illuminate about living life with more presence, living with less attachment to the days that came before this one, to meet each moment fully, to shed old identities and fully experience what exists right now in our lives? * * * * * * *To inquire about sponsorship & advertising opportunities, please email us at info@humanandholy.comTo support our work, visit humanandholy.com/sponsor.Find us on Instagram @humanandholy & subscribe to our channel to stay up to date on all our upcoming conversations ✨Human & Holy podcast is available on all podcast streaming platforms.

My name is Corey Martin. I'm 24 years old and based on the Gold Coast, Australia. I'm fortunate to have an incredibly supportive family and partner who have backed me every step of the way. I'm currently on a significant weight-loss and health journey and am proud to say I'm down 60kg so far, with strong motivation to keep going. This journey began after listening to one of The Fasting Highway episodes in September 2024, which my aunt recommended during a very challenging period in my life. At the time, I was struggling deeply with my health and well-being and had recently been turned down for a job due to my weight (172kg). This came after a particularly low point, where a back injury left me unable to work or do much of anything for around six months. Something truly clicked after hearing your episode — a switch I had tried to flip before, but never successfully followed through on. This time was different. In October 2024, I began intermittent fasting alongside awhole-food diet. The results were remarkable, and it motivated me to push further. I started with walking and gradually introduced weight training and cardio, with guidance and support from my older brother, Haydn. I held myself strictly accountable and remained disciplined with my nutrition. During this time, I also undertook several major internationaltrips. In February, I spent three weeks in Japan with my partner, Ella, and my younger brother, Blake. In May, Ella and I embarked on a 33-day cruise from Sydney to Vancouver, with many incredible stops along the way. We then spent time in Whistler before travelling to Los Angeles and Las Vegas. While international travel can often disrupt progress, I was determined to stay consistent — and I'm proud to say I did. Today, I'm at 112kg and genuinely couldn't be happier. My life has changed in countless positive ways.Graeme's Links to connect with me directly. Come and Join Our Patreon Community At the Link Belowwww.patreon.com/thefastinghighway.Come for a month or stay for a year, check it out, and get all the content.
