About this episode
As we approach the rare Year of the Fire Horse, Meredith, Julie and Karen explore what this bold, catalytic energy invites - and what it asks us to tend with care. Reflecting on personal astrology, Chinese zodiac wisdom, and lived experience with horses, the hosts discuss leadership, momentum, self-expression, and the nervous system realities of change. With horses as both metaphor and teacher, this episode offers grounded insight into how to move forward without overriding tenderness, intuition, or grief - and how partnership, rather than force, may be the key to navigating the year ahead.
