In the first episode of The Invitation Series, Elizabeth Ana is joined by Roly Bolaños, United States Marine veteran, former police officer, and experienced fitness and nutrition coach, for a raw and powerful conversation about standing in the fire.

Together, they explore what it means to move through life’s most challenging moments without shrinking back. Roly shares personal reflections on learning from the past, staying present through discomfort, and allowing those hard seasons to shape something stronger and more honest within. This conversation touches on themes of identity, resilience, surrender, and the kind of clarity that only comes from walking through the fire.

To close the episode, Elizabeth shares a meditation from the chapter “The Fire” in The Invitation by Oriah “Mountain Dreamer” House, a deeply grounding piece that supports integration and reflection.
