This week's Healing Her Story episode is a bonus episode, arriving at just the right moment.
The full moon lands on a Friday. Aries energy is still moving through the collective. And before we step into the quieter, more hidden phase ahead, this is our moment to honor the fire.
This is the third episode in Riva's mini-series on the elements.
But this carries profound wisdom about what fire really means for women and what happens when we lose access to it.
In this episode, Riva reflects on her own complicated relationship with fire and the moment she realized passion was the very first word that came through when she sat with this element. She explores how fire shows up across the cycle, in the full moon, in summer, in ovulation, and why that aliveness, that radiance, that desire to be felt and seen, is so often misread in women.
Labeled as too much. As bossy. As controlling.
While that same energy in others gets called ambition.
Riva also speaks to the dual nature of fire. How it can be warm, comforting, and life-giving. And how, when left untended, it can become reactive and overwhelming. She shares what she has learned this past year about tending her own fire around ovulation, and why sometimes what the heart needs most is not more output.
It is more space.
This episode is an invitation to notice where your fire feels alive, where it feels like too much, and what your heart might actually be asking for underneath it all.
