S4EP51: SHED IT. RIDE IT. (WITH ALEX AMICK)
Laid off in a Pottery Barn robe. Burning down corporate life. Healing your nervous system. Questioning the internet. Questioning everything.
In this episode, we unpack the Year of the Snake energy — shedding misalignments, ending toxic friendships, exposing fake intentions, and outgrowing careers that once felt “safe.” Then we step into the Fire Horse era: bold decisions, career pivots, nervous system regulation, hormone and gut health, and finally giddy-ing up toward something bigger.
We get into:
Getting laid off (and secretly being relieved)
Why corporate America isn’t built for big-mission women
The decline of influencer culture + AI fatigue
Burnout, high cortisol addiction, and nervous system healing
Gut health, histamine issues, and chronic inflammation
Reinventing your career after 30
Letting friendships expire without guilt
Rebranding your life in real time
If you’re in a burn-it-down season — or you feel the urge to shed old skin and ride into something wilder, more aligned, and fully yours in 2026 — this one’s for you.
Shed it. Ride it. #SlideTFIn
