We’re diving deeper into Season 2! 🔥 This week, Tanya teaches Sabrina (and you!) about the Fire Element—a lens for understanding personality, temperament, and the way we show up in the world. Together, they explore the difference between a healthy ego and an overblown one, how to align with your true self, and how fire energy shows up in both skillful and unskillful ways.
