Hello and welcome to a meathead hippie podcast. I am your host Emily Schramm and I just lit some

white sage from Occidental California and I'm burning some incense and I'm just having a moment

because today is the final day of 2022, which has been such a year.

And I know all of us are processing our own year.

And I hope more than anything, just like I hope for myself, that we are processing it with such love and such compassion.

All forgiveness needed. Right. There's so many times where I feel

we are ready to move on to the next year, the next thing, the next goal. And it's this kind of

mechanism that keeps us from sitting in the feelings that we want to get away from.

So I've just been really into writing and processing the whole year.

And instead of seeing it as negative or instead of that initial feeling of ick,

leaning into it and just seeing the goodness that came from it because there's always some

goodness and then just being radically proud of myself and radically supportive because we cannot

beat ourselves up into change no matter what your new year's resolution is or how you're going

to approach your new years even though really the new year's doesn't astrologically start until march and april so everyone could be patient and slow down please there is something

really beautiful to change the way we are by love and compassion not by guilt and fear and driving

ourselves into madness or you know, kind of running away from

ourselves, right? There's just such a beautiful potential for us to access change from a place

of complete radical self-explanate or exploration. Like I choose to explore this parts and these

parts of me even more versus I have to change this because I'll be

more lovable or more excited about my life if I do. So wherever you are, I hope you are just

enjoying it and processing it in the best way. And just know that I do have a mini four point

challenge that's free for all called the four
