Year of the Fire Horse Embracing Patience with Cortney McDermott

from Air-Check Your Life · host Mathew Blades Media

Do you have the patience to wait for clarity, or are you always chasing what's next? In this episode of Learn From People Who Lived It, Mathew Blades and Cortney McDermott explore the art of patience, presence, and non-doing in the context of the Chinese New Year, the Year of the Fire Horse. Drawing inspiration from the Tao Te Ching, they break down the wisdom of waiting for the “mud to settle,” trusting that the right action will arise on its own. You’ll hear honest reflections on life after high-achieving careers, the struggle to slow down, and how rest can spark creativity and clarity. The episode wraps with a calming guided meditation to help you connect with your breath and inner wisdom.    To get in touch with our podcast, email [email protected] Visit our Guests: Mathew Blades - MathewBlades.com Dr. Anna Marie Frank - https://drannamarie.com Cortney McDermott - https://www.cortneymcdermott.com Dr. Dave - https://www.drdaveaz.com/ Jill McMahon - Jillmcmahoncounseling.com To grab a copy of our 6-Week Wellness course, which is video-led, visit https://a.co/d/0ihE1vaw If you want to use Streamyard to create a podcast like this, use this link: https://streamyard.com/pal/c/4656111098003456
