Tune in for a meaningful conversation that peels back the energetic layers present when we gaze in the mirror and acknowledge what we see in our reflections. We cover:

• The Energetics of Body Image – exploring how we see ourselves in the mirror through the lens of earth energy (physical body, presence, and perhaps somewhere between criticism & gratitude) and water energy (reflection, compassion, and feelings associated with the experience).
• Breaking Free of Judgement – what the energetics teach us about how to move away from criticism to neutrality - and maybe even all the way towards self-appreciation. A few reframes & tools as avenues to having a more compassionate experience with our reflections.
• Confidence – we also explore how fire & confidence (Leo energy) is tied into the experience which offers us more practices like mirror work & self massage rituals to cultivate self-love & embodied confidence.

I share from personal experience and an energetic lens not grounded in hard evidence to support those with more severe challenges with nutrition, body image, or related topics.

You down?

This episode introduces you to wtf we're doing here at the Down to Energy Podcast. HOW we'll be breaking down the energetic context of everyday life - & big bold ideas - using the elements & the zodiac as a compass. We're gaining energetic context for an added layer of CHOICE in everything from the simple to the bold - you down?

Leave this episode with an understanding of:

• Energetic basics – Using the elements (air, earth, fire, water) of the Zodiac as our compass for navigating everyday life, and as a roadmap into big ideas like confidence & empowerment.
• Episode Themes: "Energetics Of" episodes down real-life situations through an energetic lens."What the F** Is" episodes explore archetypal story & path into big concepts. And finally,"Let’s See" episodes are inspiring conversations with guests that weave in how energy is LIVED in their lives.

• Invitation to integrate – I encourage you to always filter through a personal lens of "how do I actually relate to these ideas" or "what does that feel like TO ME" and offer with support of my free Arrival tool.
• Join the Conversation – Follow along and ask yourself: Are you down to energy?
