We’re floating into Season 2 with The Air Element! 🌬️ In this episode, Tanya and Sabrina explore the lighter (and trickier) sides of air—communication, curiosity, and the stories we tell. From gossip to honesty, and even a real-life moment involving a lie that spiraled, this conversation brings awareness and humor to how air energy moves through our relationships.
Tanya explains how the air element represents movement, intellect, and connection—and how it can lift us up or leave us scattered. Sabrina shares her take on gossip, honesty, and what happens when communication gets, well, a little “airy.” Together, they unpack what it means to speak truthfully, stay grounded, and bring more awareness to how we use our words.
