In this episode, we ask a deceptively simple question: Is what you’re consuming actually life-giving—or just numbing you out?

We unpack how horror, true crime, and 24/7 “news” hook an overstimulated nervous system, and what happens when you no longer want that charge. We explore shifting from auto-pilot consumption to intentional, nourishing input—from media to nature to the people and spaces you let into your field.

We also get honest about burnout, over-giving, and people pleasing: why so many of us give from emptiness, how that ties back to early survival strategies, and what it looks like to start receiving support without guilt. From there, we reframe purpose through the lens of the Gene Keys—not as a job title to figure out, but a daily way of being you can relax into rather than chase.

You’ll hear us explore:

• Numbing vs. nourishing consumption (and how to tell the difference in your body)
• Why your nervous system is the real authority on what’s “good” for you
• The hidden burnout of over-giving and constant productivity
• Receiving, rest, and asking for what you need as spiritual practice
• Using the Gene Keys as a kinder, more truthful map of purpose
• 
  

We close by naming business as a powerful spiritual path and hint at our upcoming Magnetic Creator mastermind for women who want to build from presence, purpose, and real capacity—not performance.

In this conversation, we get honest about fear, creation, and what actually keeps so many of us from living the lives we say we want.

We start with one-word intentions for the year ahead and how both of us landed on peace—not as a bypass or a spiritual slogan, but as a real, lived frequency. From there, we move into Gene Keys, somatics, old identity patterns, and the very human ways fear shows up when we’re standing on the edge of what is next.

This is not a “how to conquer fear” conversation. It is a real-time exploration of how we navigate fear in our own lives, bodies, relationships, and creative work.

What We Talk About

• Why fear is less of a problem to fix and more of a teacher to listen to
• How our Gene Keys profiles reveal the shadows and gifts we keep circling back to
• What peace actually means to each of us, and why peace can feel more vulnerable than struggle
• How somatic work and attachment science have shifted the way we meet fear and transition
• The subtle ways we catastrophize and spin out, and how to come back to presence
• Why we resist the very changes we say we want—especially when they threaten old roles and identities
• The pull to stay in victimhood versus choosing to become a creator of our own life
• The cost of caring what other people think, and why the opinions that scare us most are usually from those closest to us
• How childhood roles (caretaker, fixer, over-responsible one) quietly shape our patterns around creation and control
• Simple, realistic ways to start creating again when you feel stuck, flat, or afraid to begin
• 
  

We also share personal stories—from breathwork and retreat spaces to business pauses, food patterns, and moments where we have both felt like victims in our own lives—and how those experiences are still teaching us to trust, grow up spiritually, and keep choosing the path of creation.

If You’re New Here

If you’re in a season of asking “What am I really doing with my life?” or “Why does fear feel so loud right now?” this episode is meant to sit with you there. Our intention is not to give you a five-step plan, but to offer language, perspective, and companionship as you walk your own edge between consuming life and actively creating it.

Michelle Sorro and Jocelyn Reyburn share the powerful moment they met through a $149 mastermind launched impulsively at an airport—and how choosing creation over consumption transformed both their lives and businesses.

In this origin story episode, Michelle and Jocelyn reflect on how they first connected through an unexpected mastermind group born from pure inspiration after a Tony Robbins event. From writing a first book and building a business while holding a day job, to navigating friendship shifts and reclaiming joy as the creative source itself—this conversation opens a window into what happens when you start before you're ready and trust the energy moving through you.

They explore the deeper truth of creation: from Michelle launching a business with zero know-how at an airport to Jocelyn writing a life-changing book while releasing alcohol and other consumption habits. Through vulnerable stories spanning nine years of entrepreneurship and evolution, they reveal that creation is ultimately about crafting your own reality—and remembering that what you birth, births you.

In this episode:

• The spontaneous airport moment that sparked a $149 mastermind
• How creation invites transformation long before it brings success
• Jocelyn's story of writing her first book while releasing consumption habits
• Navigating friendship shifts and finding the courage to keep creating anyway
• How to start before you're ready and trust what's moving through you
• 
  

Reflection to carry:

What's been asking to be created through you—patiently, waiting for your yes?

Begin there, friend.
