Earth Element Personality - Nourishing the Center

In this episode, we explore the Earth Element personality—the empathic, grounding caretaker who thrives on connection and service. But what happens when that nurturing turns into over-giving, worry, or martyrdom? 

Alyssa breaks down how Earth types can reclaim their center, find boundaries without guilt, and turn their innate gift of stability into self-nourishment. Learn how to spot Earth imbalances (like digestive issues, people-pleasing, or clinging to routine) and what it really means to feel nourished—from the inside out.
