The Elements in You: Who Are You When Anger Hits?

The Elements in You: Who Are You When Anger Hits?

This one started on a yoga mat. I wanted to dedicate my practice to a friend going through something hard — something with a lot of anger. And somewhere between the sun salutations and the warriors, my mind went down a rabbit hole that took me from her relationship, to every relationship, to every conflict, the news, the wars, and eventually — uncomfortably — back to myself. Because I think about anger a lot. I have an Aries Moon. I've carried anger through my parents' divorce, through losing my brother, through twenty years with my partner whom I love deeply and still manage to get mad at. And I don't want to be an angry person. The world doesn't need more of it. And I don't feel good when I'm in it. So why do I keep going there? The answer that came to me on the mat was so simple. I don't understand. That's it. That's where anger lives. Not in the other person. Or the situation. In the gap between what happened and why we can't make sense of it. In this episode we talk about: — Why anger is actually information, not a character flaw — What anger is really pointing to underneath the flame — How anger moves completely differently depending on your elemental nature — and why that matters — The one thing that might start to break the loop We also go through all four elemental Moon portraits — Fire, Water, Earth, Air — because anger doesn't look the same in everyone, and understanding yours might be the most useful thing you do this week.

Once Upon a Teen: Who You Are When the Stars Finally Speak

Some people find the stars. Others are found by them. Yael is an astrologer, a teacher, and the creator of the Planetary Balance Method (TM) — a framework for balancing the five planetary energies that shape every human life. But before all of that, she was a teenager carrying things no teenager should have to carry alone. A brother with leukemia. A mother who died at 44. A father with a secret. And underneath all of it — a girl who desperately longed to be loved, and had no idea how to let it in. In this episode, Yael takes us back. To the body image that haunted her despite how she looked on the outside. To the boy she pushed away on the beach. To the running — both in her waking life and in her dreams — and what finally happened when she turned around and faced what was chasing her. This is a conversation about emotions, repression, the water element, why talking about your emotions is only half the work — and what it means to actually feel them in your body, what spirituality can get wrong, and why the most radical thing a teenager can do is stop trying to fix what they feel — and start listening to it instead. This one is for every teen who has ever felt deeply alone in a full room. For every person who learned to survive instead of feel. And for anyone who has ever wondered if the stars might have something to say about who they really are.

Who Are You When You Stand in Your Difference?

What does it look like to move across the country at eighteen to pursue something you love — something that isn't always celebrated, isn't always understood, and doesn't come with a guaranteed path? In this episode, I sit down with OB — a young dancer, creator, and deeply thoughtful human being — to talk about identity, culture, belonging, and what it means to feel more sure of yourself as you grow. We explore how OB navigates being a young Asian woman in the ballet world, what her Elemental Signature reveals about where she is right now, and how surrounding yourself with emotionally mature people changes everything. And at the end — OB answers the question I ask every guest on this podcast. Her answer will stay with you. 🤍 In this episode: * Growing up between cultures and finding your own identity within both * What it feels like to move toward the unknown with more confidence than fear * Why being different isn't something to hide — it's something to stand in * OB’s elemental season right now and why it makes complete sense * The single spark that changes everything About The Elemental Teen The Elemental Teen is a space for teenagers and young adults to explore the deeper question of who they really are.

The Elements in You: Your Elemental Signature

What if there was a language for who you are — one that didn't put you in a box, didn't ask you to perform, and didn't require you to have it all figured out? That's what your Elemental Signature is. In this first solocast, Micki introduces one of the core tools of The Elemental Teen — the Elemental Signature. Three simple pieces of your birth chart — your Sun, your Moon, and your Rising sign — read through the language of the four elements. Fire, Water, Air, and Earth. Together, they form a picture of how your energy actually works. Not who you should be. Not who everyone expects you to be. Who you already are. Micki walks through her own Elemental Signature as an example — and invites you to discover yours. Because the moment you stop resisting yourself and start understanding yourself, everything gets a little clearer. Find your Elemental Signature and join the Elemental Teen community at the link in the show notes. Who are you? The elements might already know. 🌿 About The Elemental Teen The Elemental Teen is a space for teenagers and young adults to explore the deeper question of who they really are.

Who Are You Without the Thing That Defines You?

She was "Emma, the ballet dancer". That was her whole identity — until her body said no. Twice. Two torn ACLs. A spot at Boston Ballet's professional program. Her chance as a real ballerina lost in a single audition moment. Recovery alone at boarding school. And somewhere in all of that — the quiet, unexpected discovery of who she actually is beyond the thing that defined her. In this honest and luminous conversation, Emma opens up about performing "I'm fine" for the world while falling apart behind closed doors, the loneliness of watching others do the thing you love, and how sitting still long enough finally taught her to listen to her own body for the first time. She's not searching for the final answer of who she is. She just wants to keep searching. For every teen who has poured everything into one identity and is quietly wondering — is this really all I am? Spoiler: You are already who you're meant to be. 🤍 About The Elemental Teen The Elemental Teen is a space for teenagers and young adults to explore the deeper question of who they really are.
