In the year of the Fire Horse, we are faced with a choice: Will you burn, or will you ignite?
This conversation is an invitation into the Void—the necessary descent into chaos that precedes every great rise. I sit down with Gabi Kovalenko to map the mechanics of "Falling Up": the terrifying but vital process of shedding our old identities, breaking the chains of dogmatic definition, and surrendering to the feminine embrace of the unknown.
If you have felt unmoored, chaotic, or pressed by the intense energies of 2026, this transmission is your grounding cord. We explore how to build the internal "container" strong enough to hold the fire without being consumed by it.
IN THIS EPISODE:
The Descent: Why chaos is a biological and spiritual necessity for evolution.
The Alchemical Marriage: How the Masculine (Structure) and Feminine (Flow) must dance together.
Sovereignty vs. Slavery: How our attachment to "definition" creates a prison, and how to break free.
Navigating 2026: The specific "Fire Horse" energy and how to shift from Discipline to Devotion.
The Mirror: Facing the truths we are most afraid to see.
ABOUT THE GUEST: Gabi Kovalenko is a modern alchemist and a cartographer of the soul’s descent and ascent. While she is a transformational thought leader with a background in business and a Ph.D. in progress in natural medicine, her work defies simple labels. She bridges the worlds of noetic science and ancient wisdom, refusing to linger on the surface of "self-help."
Instead, Gabi acts as a mirror for the parts of ourselves we’ve exiled into the shadow. She is the author of Falling Up, a guide to the alchemy of surrendering to the divine current. Her mission is to disarm limiting beliefs and ignite a paradigm shift toward self-evident truth, helping us construct an inner world of freedom so we can shape a better outer one.
