Episode Description
The Year of the Snake is coming to a close. This is the perfect time to shed that outgrown skin. We must let go of the old, heavy energy holding us back if we’re going to meet the fast-moving energy that the Year of the Horse is bound to bring. One of the greatest drains on our energy comes from comparing ourselves to others. Every time we measure our worth against someone else, we snuff out our own light. It’s time to stop worrying about what they’re doing and start taking an interest in your own life. When this happens, the temptation to compare becomes a lot less enticing. Let the shedding begin!
