Episode notes
Momentum Through Action
- Just do things to gain momentum, like building if you want to be a builder.
- Doing raises vibrational energy, whether you are Martha Stewart or a farmer.
Seeds of Hope and Crooked Branches
- Seeds can lie dormant for millennia and still sprout, symbolizing hope in dark times.
- Everyone, even those we admire, has their own anxieties and "crooked branches."
Embracing the Shadow
- Dark times, like challenging cultural moments, can be essential for growth and newness.
- We must acknowledge and integrate our "shadow selves" instead of solely focusing on the "light."
