We jump RIGHT in here - no introductions, no ceremony. Imagine you’re eavesdropping in on a *really* juicy conversation at the next table 😄.

This was a profoundly searching, affirmative and expansive conversation with Katy Henry - 5 Elements practitioner and creator of the The Energetic Self Success System.

In this episode we cover our insidious disconnection from nature and how it is affecting our energetic (whole) wellbeing, the key role of connecting to our soul purpose, and healing generational trauma as we seek to dismantle the systems which created it. All in all, a really meaty, curious convo grounded in Katy’s open sharing of some of her most vulnerable times. This one is for you especially if you identify as sensitive, empathic and have struggled with feeling disempowered.
