This week’s episode is a post-acupuncture ramble that turned into something pretty clarifying. I dive into two of the five elements of Chinese medicine and how they shape our behaviors, tendencies, and the way we move through the world. I share what was taught to me, how it helped me better understand my own needs for balance, and how we can honor the different elements in the people we love.
We talk about interacting with others who might be more influenced by a different element than us, the art of finding equilibrium when life feels like a pendulum swing, and how nervous system dysregulation (and the path back to regulation) keeps weaving its way into our stories.
It’s part reflection, part teaching, and a little bit of catching up — an exploration of how honoring our natural makeup can help us live with more compassion for ourselves and others.
