What comes to mind when you hear “12 Steps”? For most of us, it’s probably addiction — alcohol, drugs, food, gambling, or another behavior that has become unmanageable. But what if we’ve been thinking about the 12 Steps too narrowly? What if some of the principles that have helped millions of people recover could also teach ALL of us something about how we really change? In this roundtable conversation, we are joined by Christine’s husband, Jeff Deppe, and Estelle Gibson, a holistic financial coach. We all explore key 12 Steps principles through a much broader lens to apply to our lives — not simply as a recovery program, but as a powerful framework for human transformation and community. All three of us experienced 12 Steps through very different paths. And along the way, we each discovered wisdom that reached far beyond addiction recovery. Together, we explore what these programs can teach us about surrender, taking greater responsibility for our own lives, understanding the deeper roots of our patterns, asking for help, connecting with something greater than ourselves — and the incredible power of being part of a community where people feel safe enough to be real.

What happens when cutting-edge anatomy, science, intuition, and the wisdom of the body all meet on the massage table? In this episode of the Inspired Beyond Podcast, we are joined by Ashbee Fontaine, a licensed massage therapist with more than 20 years of experience and a fascinating approach that brings together the physical, intuitive, and energetic sides of healing. We go beyond massage to explore the incredible interconnectedness of the human body — including fascia, the nervous system, sensitivity, intuition, sound, and what can happen when we create space for the body rather than always trying to push, force, or “fix” it. We also explore Ashbee’s experience as one of the rarest Human Design energy types — a Reflector — and how understanding her sensitivity has changed the way she understands herself and works with others. And we’ll take a look at something Ashbee has been quietly developing for years: an entirely new approach to vacuum therapy cupping, born from curiosity, experimentation, and decades of hands-on experience with the body.

Shout out to a fabulous book inspired by Mayan wisdom, Remember Your Roots written by Christine Olivia Hernandez. We discussed this on a recent Inspired Beyond Podcast.

Pearls of wisdom from a recent podcast on Inspired Beyond Podcast where we are joined by Christine Olivia Hernandez. Living in gratitude is the highest vibration. So much of humanity today is experiencing a profound sense of disconnection — from ourselves, our bodies, nature, community, our ancestors, and perhaps even from Life itself. But what if some of the wisdom we need to heal and become more fully human isn't new at all? In this episode of Inspired Beyond, I'm joined by Christine Olivia Hernandez — Mayan astrologer, Mayan spiritual guide initiate, cacao practitioner, author of Remember Your Roots, and creator of the Mayan Oracle Deck — for a fascinating exploration of ancient Mayan wisdom and why it may be more relevant to our modern lives than ever. The ancient Maya demonstrated an extraordinary understanding of mathematics, science, nature, and the cosmos. They developed more than 20 different calendars, including the Sacred Calendar — a 260-day “human calendar” designed to help us better understand ourselves, our unique energies, our challenges and gifts, and our place within the larger web of Life. Christine shares how the Mayan Sacred Calendar isn't simply an ancient system from the past. It's a living tradition and wisdom that can still be worked with today. We also dive deeply into Christine's beautiful book, Remember Your Roots, and the bigger invitation at the heart of her work: to reconnect. We explore ancestral healing and the gifts and wounds carried through our lineages, reconnecting with the intelligence of our bodies, creating a healthier mental environment, and remembering that healing involves our whole selves — body, mind, and spirit. Christine also shares the Mayan perspective on gratitude as a way of living, reciprocity and giving back, the importance of ceremony and community, and what can happen when we begin treating our everyday lives as sacred again. Perhaps one of the most powerful reminders from our conversation is beautifully simple: We are not separate. We are connected to our ancestors, to nature, to one another, to our bodies, to the cosmos, and to Life. Ancient wisdom isn't only something to study or admire from the past. It is here for us to explore and embrace today — helping us heal disconnection, remember who we are, and become more fully human and alive. #MayanWisdom #MayanSacredCalendar #AncestralHealing #RememberYourRoots #AncientWisdom #SacredTime #AncestralWisdom #SpiritualHealing #PersonalGrowth #MindBodySpirit #HealingJourney #InspiredBeyond
