Why I Renamed the Podcast: Owning Your Power Era as a Gen X Woman

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2456086/fan_mail/new] Something has been on my heart for a while now, and I wanted to sit down and explain why I made the shift from "Own Your Piece" to "The Power Era." It is not a rebrand for the sake of it. It is a reflection of something I am watching happen in real time, in my own life, in my coaching sessions, and on a collective level with women in their 40s and beyond. We are not going quietly into the night. We are rewriting what it means to age, and we are doing it with intention. In this episode, I share the deeper why behind the name change, what I am witnessing in Gen X women right now, and the personal journey that led me to create the Power Era Collective. I also get into one of the most powerful mindset shifts I have been sharing with my coaching clients lately, and yes, it comes courtesy of Vin Diesel. What You'll Learn * Why Gen X women are redefining aging and stepping into their most powerful years * How the shift from perimenopause and menopause is actually a creative reclamation, not a decline * The Pluto in the 11th house lesson that kept showing up in my life around friendship and community * What the Power Era Collective is, why I created it, and what it offers at every tier * How to stop future-tripping and start living your life a quarter mile at a time * Why Human Design authority is your greatest tool for getting out of your head and back into your body * The co-creative process with source that happens when you let go of control and stay present Connect with Andie Website: powerera.andiethueson.com [https://powerera.andiethueson.com/] Instagram: @therealandiethueson [https://www.instagram.com/therealandiethueson/] Power Era Collective: powerera.andiethueson/collective [https://powerera.andiethueson.com/collective] Resources Mentioned The Power Era Collective (Foundation Tier, Build Tier, Blueprint Suite) Human Design authority types: emotional, sacral, spleenic, ego, G-centered, mental, and reflector Black Moon Lilith in business (upcoming call inside the Collective) Fast and Furious / Vin Diesel: "I live my life a quarter mile at a time" Support the show [https://venmo.com/u/andiethues] If something in this episode landed, that is worth paying attention to.

Healing From the Inside Out: Breathwork, Neurotrauma Therapy, and Coming Back to Self with Rachel Ellenani

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2456086/fan_mail/new] If you have been doing everything "right" and still feel like something is off in your body, this one is for you. I sat down with my dear friend Rachel Ellenani, a holistic health practitioner who works at the intersection of body, mind, and spirit. She uses hair analysis, genetic and epigenetic testing, and neurotrauma therapy to help people get to the actual root of what is going on, not just the surface symptoms. We went deep on breathwork, including what holotropic breathwork actually is and why it is so different from every other breathwork modality out there. We talked about the trauma piece that most facilitators skip right over, why integration matters more than people realize, and what it truly means to be trauma-informed before you hold space for others. Rachel is also launching two exciting new offerings: a six to twelve-month deep dive healing program that blends genetic testing with neurotrauma therapy, and an instructional course to help wellness practitioners properly incorporate breathwork and sound into their work. This conversation is one I know so many of you have been waiting for. What You'll Learn * What holotropic breathwork actually is and how it differs from other breathwork modalities * Why the DMT response happens and what it actually feels like in your body * Why integration and trauma-informed facilitation are the most critical parts of any breathwork experience * What to look for in a breathwork facilitator and the red flags that signal someone is not ready to hold space * How neurotrauma therapy works and what a session actually looks like * The difference between genetic testing and epigenetic hair analysis, and why Rachel uses both * Why your body does not lie, even when your mind will * How the passive brain versus active brain distinction in Human Design affects what you absorb from media and your environment * Why we need both healthy masculine and feminine energy, and what that actually looks like * Rachel's new six to twelve month healing program and breathwork facilitator course, and how to work with her Connect with Rachel Ellenani Website: https://rachelellenani.com/ [https://rachelellenani.com/] Instagram and all social platforms: @rachelellenani [https://www.instagram.com/rachelellenani/] Resources Mentioned * Rachel's new six to twelve month healing program: combines genetic and epigenetic testing with neurotrauma therapy, available in office or remotely (launching next month at time of recording) * Rachel's breathwork and sound facilitator course: an instructional online course co-created with business partner Kaitlan to teach proper breathwork facilitation with a trauma-informed lens * Hair analysis and DNA testing: the two primary assessments Rachel uses to see what is happening in the body right now and over time * PEMF mat [https://amzn.to/43lWWV9]: used in Rachel's neurotrauma therapy sessions for therapeutic grounding * The Body Keeps the Score [https://amzn.to/4oqIC7y]: referenced in conversation as the foundational concept behind somatic and trauma work * Human Design passive brain versus active brain: discussed in the context of how sensitive nervous systems absorb information from media and environment Support the show [https://venmo.com/u/andiethues] If something in this episode landed, that is worth paying attention to.

Making Me Happy Summer: The Self-Care Reframe That Actually Changes Everything

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2456086/fan_mail/new] This summer, we are doing something different. We are making it the "Making Me Happy Summer," and I want you to lean all the way in. I know that phrase might feel a little loaded at first. It did for me too. It felt selfish, self-indulgent, even a little wrong. But here is the truth: when you are running on empty, everyone around you feels it. So this episode is your permission slip to stop putting yourself last and start treating yourself with the same love and care you so freely give to everyone else. We are talking about real self-care, the kind that happens on a soul level. Not spa days (though those are lovely), but the daily practices, the boundaries, the inner work that actually fills you back up. This is the summer to stop surviving and start thriving. What You Will Learn * Why "Making Me Happy Summer" is not selfish; it is necessary, and how your astrology and human design placements might be wiring you to deplete yourself * How to identify what true self-care actually looks like for you based on your moon sign (I link to a past episode in the show notes) * My personal morning routine as a Scorpio moon, including how I use journaling, meditation, tarot, and even Claude AI for reflection * The importance of tracking the thoughts and words you use about yourself throughout the day, and what to do when you catch yourself being unkind * How to build boundaries that protect your energy without building walls that keep people out * Why generators and manifesting generators especially need to honor their inner no, and what happens when they say yes but mean no * How the current astrology transits (Mercury in Cancer, Gemini season, and Leo season) support this summer of self-focus and emotional healing * Why this summer is a genuine turning point as the energies shift from heavy excavation work to something lighter, faster, and more joyful Resources Mentioned * Past episode on self-care based on your moon sign  [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2456086/episodes/17093242] * The Power Era Collective [https://powerera.andiethueson.com/collective]: Andie's monthly membership with custom astrology journals, journaling prompts, and community for women stepping into their next level This summer, put your air mask on first.

The Breaking Point That Changed Everything: Naked Leadership with Carol Metz Murray

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2456086/fan_mail/new] What happens when you have been so busy proving yourself to the world that you completely lose sight of who you actually are? In this conversation, I sit down with Carol Metz Murray, narrative disruptive coach and founder of Naked Leadership, to talk about what it really takes to strip away the masks, the people pleasing, and the years of living on everyone else's terms, and finally step into leading yourself first. Carol shares the pivotal moment in her early forties when a scary dissociative episode on a mountainous highway became her twenty seconds of insane courage. We go deep on masculine and feminine energy, the sacred necessity of anger, why authenticity is the highest frequency you can vibrate from, and why if you don't lead yourself, someone else absolutely will. This one is going to hit home. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN * What naked leadership actually means and why it starts on the inside * Why so much high achieving is, as I like to say, trauma with a good suit * How living too far in your masculine energy can quietly destroy your health * Why anger is a side partner of passion, and why suppressing one suppresses the other * The difference between protecting yourself and confining yourself * Why authenticity -- not gratitude, not love -- is the highest frequency to vibrate from * How to recognize when you have been on autopilot and what it feels like to finally take the wheel * Why you came here with a unique piece of the puzzle, and the world needs you to own it CONNECT WITH CAROL Website: carolmetzmurray.com [https://carolmetzmurray.com/] LinkedIn: Carol Metz Murray [https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolmetzmurray/] Support the show [https://venmo.com/u/andiethues] If something in this episode landed, that is worth paying attention to.

The Pivot That Changed Everything: Human Design, Gene Keys, and Why I Almost Gave Up on My Own Program

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2456086/fan_mail/new] This week, I am doing something a little different. No guest, no polished concept, just me showing up and being real about what I have been living and moving through. Because I believe we are mirrors of each other. And what is happening in my life right now is a mirror of what I see happening in the women around me, in my clients, and in the conversations showing up in my DMs. So this week, I am pulling back the curtain. What You Will Learn: * Why I created my own workbook after months of making them for everyone else, and what happened when I finally did * How sitting with gate 39.5, the gate of provocation, helped me understand my gifts in a completely new way * Why Ignite Your Type was not selling the way I expected, and what that frustration revealed about energetic alignment in business * How the Power Era Collective was born out of that exact frustration * What human design, astrology, and gene keys each bring to the work inside the collective * The generational astrology behind why so many Gen X and elder millennial women are waking up right now * What the Power Era Collective software (Go High Level) makes possible for women who are ready to build * What happened inside the Power Era Challenge with 58 women across five days, and why I should not have ended at 7 pm * The journaling prompt from gate 38, the gate of struggle, that stopped me in my tracks: "I am here to..." The Breakthrough Sentence: "I am here to remind women who are done and ready to rise of the magic of who they truly are and help them ground their dreams into reality." That is my purpose. That is why this space exists. Who the Power Era Collective Is For: This is for women who are done playing small. Done living by everyone else's rule book. Done accepting crumbs and calling it a life. Women in the Gen X and elder millennial space who have known in their bones they are meant for more, but the how has always felt elusive. Inside the collective, we use your human design, astrology, and gene keys to map exactly how you are meant to show up and build. And then we give you the software to make it happen, all inside one program.  Power Era Collective: https://powerera.andiethueson.com/collective Support the show [https://venmo.com/u/andiethues] If something in this episode landed, that is worth paying attention to.
