Life's transitions often serve as powerful reflections of our inner evolution. Just as an old car eventually stops serving our needs, sometimes our habits, mindsets, and life paths require upgrading to match who we're becoming. This conversation, with returning guest Britt, explores what happens when we recognize it's time for change and find the courage to pursue a new direction.
We journey through the challenging yet rewarding path of studying Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, and herbology. The conversation reveals the immense complexity behind these ancient healing arts, from mastering hundreds of acupuncture points to understanding over 300 different herbs with their unique properties and interactions. This education isn't just academic; it represents a fundamental shift in how we understand wellness and balance.
The heart of our discussion centers on breathwork and sound healing as powerful modalities for reconnecting with ourselves. Unlike approaches that require verbal processing, breathwork offers a direct pathway into the body's wisdom and emotional landscape.
Perhaps most compelling is the recognition that true healing and growth require authenticity. As Britt shares, "You can only meet people as far as you've met yourself." This wisdom reminds us that our capacity to connect with others, whether as healers or simply as humans, depends on how deeply we've done our own inner work. It's an invitation to embrace all aspects of who we are, the light and the shadow, rather than compartmentalizing ourselves into boxes that feel acceptable but incomplete.
