Summary

Christy shares her journey from the Navy to becoming a fitness coach and entrepreneur. She discusses the impact of programming received in the military and how it affected her relationships and emotional well-being. She explores the balance between the masculine and feminine energies and the importance of being present with emotions. Christy also highlights the need for resilience and the ability to feel and transform emotions in a healthy way. The conversation explores the concepts of the feminine and masculine energies and their roles in our lives. The feminine is associated with matter, intuition, flow, and being present in the moment, while the masculine is associated with pattern, structure, vision, and future-oriented thinking. Both energies are important and should be balanced for progress and fulfillment. The conversation also touches on the importance of creativity, intuition, and play in personal growth and business success. The use of heart medicine and the exploration of the feminine have led to shifts in perspective and a deeper connection with oneself and others. In this final part of the conversation, Mike and Christy discuss the idea of feeling more and how entheogenic and psychedelic medicine can help confront and move through emotions. They also talk about their experiences with alcohol and how their perspectives on drinking have changed over time. They touch on the normalization of certain behaviors in the military and the impact of cultural differences when traveling. They also draw parallels between their experiences in jiu-jitsu and the importance of finding ease and flow in movement.
