In this episode, I’m joined by my dear friend Andrea Arledge for a rich, expansive conversation on the energetic bridge we’re crossing as we move from 2025 into 2026.

Andrea is a numerology expert, host of the Soulful Success Podcast, creator of the Business Alchemy Lab, and a Master-trained Shadow Guide—and together we explore what it means to live inside a powerful collective transition.

We unpack the deep, continual shedding of the Year of the Snake—a Numerology 9 year—and how this energy has been asking us to release, complete, and let go at levels that may have felt relentless but necessary. This is a time of clearing karma, identities, timelines, and versions of ourselves that can no longer come forward with us.

From there, we look ahead to what’s emerging with the Year of the Fire Horse—a 1 (or 10) year in numerology—an initiation into bold beginnings, momentum, courage, and creation. This next chapter isn’t about forcing or hustling forward, but about rising from truth, aligned power, and embodied clarity.

This episode is both grounding and activating, offering practical ways to support yourself as you stand in the in-between—no longer who you were, not yet fully who you’re becoming.

What if the key to navigating fertility challenges isn’t just in the science — but in the way you’re emotionally supported through it?

So many people walk into fertility treatment believing the medical steps are the whole picture… yet feel blindsided when the emotional toll hits just as hard (if not harder).

Maybe you’ve felt unheard in appointments, rushed through decisions, or treated like another chart in the queue — and it leaves you questioning your own strength, your hope, and your identity.

But what if the missing piece isn’t you… it’s the lack of empathy, space, and genuine human connection in your care? Today’s conversation flips that narrative — and shows you what compassionate, patient-centered fertility medicine can truly look like.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

• Why empathy isn’t a “soft skill” but a clinical essential in reproductive medicine
• How listening, storytelling, and emotional validation transform the patient experience
• The real reasons patients burn out (even with financial coverage) — and how to protect your energy
• What it looks like when science and humanity work together to support your fertility journey

Whether you’re in the thick of treatment or supporting someone who is, this episode is a powerful reminder that you deserve care that sees all of you — your hope, your grief, your resilience, and your story.
