"As children, we have a need, a very deep need to be acknowledged, to feel seen, and for somebody, a caregiver, to reflect back to us that value that specialness, that thing that you are, that no one else is."

Welcome to 2026, a new cycle, a new energy, and a profound invitation to reclaim your consciousness. As we shift out of the Pisces cycle, I’m seeing a massive collective theme emerging: the deep, often painful question of individual value. Are you valuing your own needs, or are you still abandoning yourself to take care of everyone else?

In this solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a question that haunts so many high-level business owners and entrepreneurs: "Do I actually have something valuable to offer?". If you’ve ever felt the pull to share your gifts but immediately spiraled into comparison or the fear that you’re "just making it up," this one's for you. We often mistake these blocks for business problems, but they're almost always core wounds problems. Whether you're dealing with childhood wounds or deeper ancestral wounds, these patterns keep you stuck in the matrix of unworthiness.

I’m taking you through a one-on-one session experience to pinpoint the unmet needs, like the void of not being seen by a caregiver, that create these cycles of over-delivering. We’re diving into how trauma healing and breathwork can dissolve these patterns, allowing you to stop proving your worth and start embodying your power.

"We all have three different ego states. We have a parent ego state, we have an adult ego state, and we have a child ego state and we toggle between these three ego states all day every day."

Ever wondered why you sometimes react to a minor business hurdle or a comment from your partner as if it’s a life-or-death situation? In this episode, I’m sitting down with my long-time friend, Dr. Robyn McKay, to explore the psychological machinery behind our reactions. We’re talking about Transactional Analysis, a modality that perfectly bridges the gap between clinical psychology and the deep work we do in spaces like The Metamorphosis.

We explore the three ego states: the Parent, the Adult, and the Child, and how they dictate how you communicate with yourself and the world.

For many of you, childhood wounds or ancestral healing needs may show up as a "critical parent" internal voice or a "wounded child" reaction to expansion. When you’re stuck in these states, you’re not leading; you’re reacting.

Robyn and I discuss how to shift from being "Velcro" to triggers, where every criticism sticks and drains your energy, to being "Teflon." By bringing awareness to these patterns, you can finally move into your adult power, where choice and personal creativity live.

“There is so much emotional energy moving, a lot of grief for people, and I think largely a lot of that is stemming from the fact that we are ending this nine year cycle... there is definitely a shift amidst us and I think we all can feel it.”

We're standing at the edge of a massive energetic threshold. In this 2025 wrap-up, I’m not just recapping the year; I’m diving deep into the completion of a profound nine-year cycle that began in 2017. If you’ve been feeling a heavy mix of grief, transformation, and a relentless push toward authenticity, you're not alone... you're exactly where you need to be.

In this episode, I’m sharing my unfiltered thoughts on why the idea of "going back to normal" after 2020 was always an illusion and how we're collectively moving into a clearer, more prominent shift in 2026. I open up about my own journey, from the intuitive hits I had as a child watching The Terminator to the career-shattering moments as a school counselor that forced me to choose my own truth over arbitrary rules. We explore why playing by the system’s handbook often means betraying your own intuition, and why true trauma healing requires us to stop performing and start embodying who we actually are.

This is a rant, a reflection, and a roadmap all in one. We discuss the trap of pop psychology, the unconscious family dynamics we replay in our workplaces, and why 2026 is shaping up to be the "Year of the Individual." If you're ready to leave behind what you think you should do and finally step into what truly resonates for you, this episode is for you.
