How to Lead Yourself Through the Fire (Literally and Figuratively) with Heather Ash Amara
What do you do when 175 acres of your beloved land go up in flames? If you’re HeatherAsh Amara (www.warriorgoddess.com), you don’t just rebuild—you listen.
In this powerful and earthy episode, author of Warrior Goddess Training and all-around badass HeatherAsh Amara shares how losing nearly everything in a wildfire became an unexpected invitation to slow down, tune in, and completely reimagine what the next chapter really looks like. Spoiler alert: it’s not about rushing to fix things—it’s about curiosity, presence, and a whole lot of composting (emotionally and literally).
From building portable eco-circles with cattle panels (yep, you read that right) to partnering with Indigenous women and mushrooms (hi, mycelium!), HeatherAsh draws some seriously unexpected parallels between land restoration and personal growth.
If you’ve ever felt burned out, broken down, or boxed in by “how things should be,” this episode is your permission slip to do things differently.
3 Juicy Takeaways:
🔥 Treat your brain like a puppy. Gentle redirection > harsh discipline.
🌱 Healing—of land or life—starts with listening before acting.
🧘 Warrior and Goddess energy live in everyone. It’s all about balance, baby.
Get ready for a heart-opening convo about resilience, authenticity, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is sit still and let the answers grow.
