My Phoenix Story - Part Three - Series Conclusion

Join me in this introspective episode as I take you through my transformative journey from the depths of fear to newfound hope. In early 2023, I faced the daunting challenge of financial instability and job searches, leading to profound self-reflection and growth.
As I grappled with professional challenges and personal upheavals throughout 2024, I underwent what is known as the shamanic death. This process was not without its pains, but it was also a journey towards embracing who I truly am, unburdened by past traumas.
By 2025, I embarked on a path of writing, choosing to focus on what I love and releasing the need to control the external world. Through struggles and enlightenment, I share my ongoing journey of renewal, and invite you to reflect on your own Phoenix stories as we navigate these transformative times together.

Join me as I reflect on my transformative journey through 2022. New Year's Day sets the stage for a year of introspection and change, as I navigate life without the pressures of a day job and embark on a path of self-discovery.

As I left behind the world of conspiracy theories, I embraced the opportunity for genuine healing and personal growth. This episode is a raw and honest account of a year filled with both challenges and liberation, setting the stage for the next phase of my journey.

Rising from the Ashes: A Journey of Renewal

It wasn't until recently that I took the time to understand at the heart level why this bird of fire resonated with me so deeply. I came to the realization that I have gone through a Phoenix experience since I came back to my hometown in September of 2022. On this show I am going to share the story behind my Phoenix experience.
