EP419: From Armor to Alignment - The Legend's Journey to True Power

Alright, Legends—this one is raw, real, and straight from the trenches. I’m fresh off wrist reconstruction surgery, and let me tell you, this experience has been a masterclass in surrender, trust, and finding harmony between masculine and feminine energy. If you’ve ever struggled with letting go of control, receiving support, or balancing the “do” with the “be,” this episode is for you. We’re diving deep into the energetic significance of the right and left sides of the body, how masculine and feminine energy show up in our lives, and what happens when they’re out of harmony. I’m sharing personal stories—from my childhood to my current recovery—that highlight how my dominant masculine energy has both served me and wrecked me. And most importantly, I’m unpacking how leaning into my feminine energy is transforming not just my body, but my relationships, leadership, and life. This episode is about more than just my journey—it’s about yours. Where are you holding on too tightly? Where are you resisting surrender? And how can you start to trust, allow, and receive in a way that elevates every area of your life? Let’s get into it.

Feminine energy is about intuition, surrender, and flow. Both are essential, but harmony is key.Surrender is Strength: True power lies in flexibility, not force.
