Business, Friendship & the Five Elements
Description:
Tune into the newest episode of our Energy Works Podcast, where science meets spirit to help you heal, energize, and thrive.
In this episode, Lauren and Blaine explore the wisdom of Five Element Theory and how it shows up in business, leadership, and personal relationships. They describe how Lauren is a primary Wood with secondary Water and Blaine’s a primary Metal with secondary Wood.
Using their own elemental makeups as real-life examples, they unpack how contrasting energies can become powerful strengths rather than sources of friction.
Together, they discuss how each of the Five Elements contributes to a thriving, balanced business and why elemental diversity is essential for sustainable growth, creativity, and community.
Whether you’re building a company, teaching yoga, or deepening your understanding of Energy Medicine, this conversation invites you to see balance as a collaborative process, not a solo pursuit. Tune in now wherever you get your podcasts!
