À propos de cet audio
In this deeply personal and historical episode, Alexandria explores the ancient concept of yellow bile — the humor of drive, ambition, and fiery energy — and how it manifests in our modern lives.
She shares her own journey: leaving a career that didn’t fit her free-spirited nature, relocating to Texas to support her daughter and grandson Marcus, surviving a serious car accident, and facing the devastating loss of Marcus. Through these experiences, Alexandria realized how unbridled ambition — what the ancients would call excess yellow bile — can burn us out physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Drawing from Hippocrates, Galen, and historical practices, she explains how ancient physicians recommended cooling and balancing this powerful energy through rest, gentleness, and intentional movement — lessons that resonate with modern wellness practices like mindful exercise, fasting, and holistic health routines.
By the end of the episode, you’ll discover how to identify when your fire is consuming you, redirect your energy, and cultivate a sustainable drive that fuels purpose without burnout.
Let the burn teach you. Let the honey keep you.
Until next time — be gentle with the body that carries you.
