JJ reconnects with longtime friend and homeopath Avghi "Avi" Constantinides (yes—at Trader Joe's!) for a timely conversation on natural immune support during the holiday season and beyond. Avghi breaks down what homeopathy is, how it differs from symptom-only approaches, and shares her go-to homeopathic "flu season trio" that many of her clients use for prevention and support. The conversation then expands into entrepreneurship, education, and why responsiveness and follow-up are essential for building a sustainable, heart-centered business.

• How a chance reconnection at Trader Joe's brought Avghi into the West Coast Women Rising community

• Avghi's origin story: from the UK, to South Africa, to the U.S.—and the life-changing realization that shaped her work

• What homeopathy really is and how it treats the whole person rather than isolated symptoms

• What to expect from a first homeopathic consultation—and why it goes deep

• How emotional and life events often correlate with physical symptoms

• Avghi's recommended homeopathic flu-season support trio:

  • Influenzinum (homeopathic preparation of the current flu strain)

  • Briar Rose (commonly used for respiratory and chest vulnerability)

  • Thymulin / Thymuline (supporting immune and white blood cell function)

• How and when to take these remedies, including travel and exposure support

• Why combo remedies can help—and when individualized care is needed

• Avghi's community work supporting first responders and clinics during the 2025 California fires

• Building a business as a solopreneur:

  • Early grassroots marketing before social media

  • Why fast follow-up builds trust (and slow follow-up loses opportunities)

  • The importance of visibility, service, and giving back to your field

• Educational pathways through Avghi's school—from personal learning to professional practice

Shedding the Skin Needed to Set the Stage for 2026

As we step into 2026, it's tempting to rush ahead with goals, intentions, and action. But energetically, we're still in a powerful transition period. Although the calendar year has changed, the Fire Horse doesn't officially arrive until February 17, meaning we're still completing the work of the Year of the Snake.

In this solo episode, JJ explores why this moment is less about acceleration—and more about discernment, honesty, and conscious completion.

The Year of the Snake asks us to shed old skins: identities, coping strategies, emotional patterns, and roles that once served us but now limit who we're becoming. Before the Fire Horse ignites momentum, visibility, and bold action, we're being invited to get clean, aligned, and intentional.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why 2026 begins as a threshold year, not a starting line
• Key themes of the Year of the Snake and what we're still meant to release
• What Fire Horse energy amplifies—and why preparation matters
• The three essential lessons to integrate before February 17
• How to move into 2026 authentically, intentionally, creatively, and passionately
• Why shedding before sprinting creates sustainable momentum

This episode is an invitation to slow down just enough to listen—to your body, your nervous system, and your deeper truth—so that when the Fire Horse arrives, you're ready to ride it with clarity instead of chaos.

✨ If you feel the call to shed a skin and enter 2026 more aligned than ever, this conversation will meet you right where you are.
