As we enter this sacred season of reflection, I call upon the winds of the South, the Great Serpent, to guide me in shedding what no longer serves. This year has been one of profound transformation— ego deaths, releasing of old identities, and stepping into deeper alignment with my purpose. Much like Serpent shedding its skin, I have let go of roles and beliefs that kept me tethered to past versions of myself.
For over a decade, I envisioned myself running a Wellness Center—a vibrant space where healing, growth, and community thrived. In early 2024, I moved my practice into what I thought was the dream business model. But within three months, my body began sending clear signals: this wasn’t the aligned path.
I experienced debilitating symptoms—brain fog, gut pain, nausea, and even suicidal thoughts. My body was telling me what my mind wasn’t ready to admit: I was out of alignment. Reluctantly, I closed the chapter moving out of the wellness center and returned to my home office. What followed was an intense period of grief—not just for the business model but for the identity I had built around it. I felt like I had failed, even though I was being guided to a deeper truth.
This transition ushered in a sacred pause, a time of self-reflection and recalibration. I asked myself hard questions: What do I truly want? What legacy do I want to leave behind? The clarity didn’t come immediately, but it began to unfold as I invested in my growth.
In October, I attended Redefining Wealth Live with Patrice Washington. This transformative experience helped me realign with my purpose, and immediately afterward, I poured that energy into recording 10 episodes of The Wild Sage Society Podcast, which will relaunch on December 21st, the Winter Solstice.
Upon returning home from back-to-back business trips, my physical symptoms intensified, forcing me to step back from client work. For an entire month, I focused solely on healing—putting my oxygen mask on first. I embarked on a physical and energetic decluttering journey, going through every closet, cabinet, and drawer in my home. This wasn’t just about tidying up; it was about creating space for mental clarity and abundance.
I also returned to the principles of my holistic lifestyle programs, removing toxicity and inflammation from my diet and environment. This period of intentional release helped me shed not only physical clutter but also emotional, energetic and physical weight.
The year 2024 has been marked by a series of ego deaths, each one stripping away layers of identity and expectation. As an Enneagram 8, I’m naturally driven by control and strength. But this year taught me the power of surrender and self-reflection. Without these moments of pause, I wouldn’t have had the space to realign with my authentic vision and purpose.
Serpent has been my guide, teaching me to walk softly, honor the shedding process, and embrace the beauty of transformation. Each release brought new wisdom, and every loss became a gateway to deeper alignment.
With love and gratitude,
Marcie
