In Episode 3 of Alchemy Pot, Derek Richard Thomas and Lizzie Loch explore “The Come From” — the energetic source behind every thought, word, or action. Is it rooted in fear (contraction) or love (expansion)? Through stories of art, music, parenting, and nature, they reveal how our “why” shapes everything we create, from our relationships to the world itself.From attention as the currency of the universe to the wisdom of trees and soil, this episode is a masterclass in self-awareness, authenticity, and aligning with the love that grows life itself.What you’ll learnHow to trace any action back to its “Come From.”The difference between Love (expansion) and Fear (contraction).Why your energy matters more than the action itself.How to shift fear-based creation into love-based expression.The link between validation, attention, and power.What trees and soil teach us about growth, maturity, and letting go.How suppressing your soul’s truth leads to pain — and why expression heals.Try The Come From1. Ask yourself before any action: “What’s my come from — fear or love?”2. If it’s fear, breathe into the space it occupies and name the fear.3. Choose the loving reason behind the same action — expansion instead of contraction.4. Act from love. Watch life mirror that back.
