Top Episodes Quotes
- “There are moments in time that invite us to sit with an alchemical process, one that requires we sit with the discomfort of burning away. Metaphorically speaking, what was not meant to stay.“ by Chani Nicholas
- “I know that when I'm not consciously in my agency, when I forget the power that I have, which is way too often, embarrassingly so, but when I'm in that place that some, the younger part of me, the more wounded part of me, is driving my decisions. And that's when I make the biggest mistakes.“ by Chani Nicholas
- “Chiron is the teacher, is the healer, is the mentor. And I think that one of our greatest teachers beyond each other in our relationships, is how to be in relationship with our own pain, with our own stuff, so that it doesn't get the better of us, so that it's not making the decisions and it's not driving the ship of our life.“ by Chani Nicholas
