About this listen
In this episode, Jaye and Leta invite you to take a little time out — not in a punishment sort of way, but in a take-a-step-back-and-breathe kind of way. We’re kicking off a brand-new five-part series on the Alchemy, Five Elements & Overwhelm, starting with Wood — the Element of Hope, Renewal, and of Inspired Action.
What We Talk About:-
Why overwhelm is sometimes the new normal — and why is/isn't it OK
-
What ancient Daoist Alchemists did during times of political chaos (hint: it involves retreats, mountains, and silence)
-
Why wind represents change in Chinese Medicine — and how to work with it instead of being blown away
-
Wood Element traits under pressure: survival mode, strategy overload, and full-on gorilla mode
-
The concept of “Opti-mystic” — embracing the mystic and the optimistic during chaotic times
-
Practical advice for Wood types (and everyone with Wood in their chart, which is… everyone) on how to re-center, breathe, and find meaning in challenge
-
A sneak peek into how the other elements (Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water) handle overwhelm — next up: Fire and the fear of losing love
