Episode Summary

In this episode of Mind Over Matter, we dive deep into the ancient wisdom of the five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and ether—and how they can guide us through grief, change, and personal transformation. Licensed social worker, author of Newleaf, and founder of Restoring Legacy, Tashia Martin shares her journey of loss, resilience, and rediscovery. She reveals how these elemental forces not only exist around us but also within us—shaping our ability to ground, release, renew, and connect. From practical rituals like affirming into water to leadership practices that integrate nature into decision-making, Tashia offers a blueprint for both personal and collective healing.

If you’ve been navigating transitions, seeking emotional grounding, or wanting to align your mind, body, and soul, this conversation will help you reconnect to what’s always been yours.

About the Guest

Tashia Martin is a licensed social worker, author of Newleaf, and founder of Restoring Legacy. She blends ancestral practices, trauma-informed care, and the five-element framework to help individuals and organizations heal from within. Her work spans grief support, leadership coaching, and equity-focused systems change, rooted in the belief that when we heal ourselves, we heal our communities.

Key Takeaways
  • The five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and ether—are not just environmental forces but also internal guides for emotional and spiritual well-being.

  • Grief is not something to “get over” but something to move with; ether connects us to the ongoing spiritual presence of those we’ve lost.

  • Water rituals, such as speaking affirmations into a glass of water, can influence emotional states and support healing.

  • Grounding practices (earth element) help restore balance in a fast-paced, overactive (fire-dominant) world.

  • Leadership rooted in the elements prioritizes people’s wellness, making organizations healthier and more aligned.

  • Collective healing begins with self-awareness; leaders in any role—from the home to the boardroom—affect the wellness of their communities.

  • Ancestral wisdom often mirrors evidence-based psychological practices, showing that ancient traditions and modern science can align.

  • Small shifts—breathing exercises, essential oils, meeting outdoors—can create ripple effects in relationships, teams, and culture.
