0:11
Nicole Laino: Come here to become an unshakable human and build an unshakable business according to your human design.
0:17
Nicole Laino: I'm your host, Nicole Laino.
0:21
Nicole Laino: Hello and welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, everybody.
0:25
Nicole Laino: I'm your host, Nicole Laino, and.
0:27
Nicole Laino: And I am so happy to be here with you today, as always, although you can hear I'm still sick, so I've got a little bit of that sexy voice thing happening.
0:36
Nicole Laino: Bear with me if you will.
0:37
Nicole Laino: I hope you don't mind we're closing out this year with just weeks long of a cold.
0:44
Nicole Laino: It is what it is.
0:45
Nicole Laino: We're dealing over here.
0:46
Nicole Laino: But in this episode, what I wanted to break down for you and I always bring you what I'm doing, this is part of what this show is.
0:53
Nicole Laino: It's very much what I'm going through.
0:54
Nicole Laino: It's very much what I am practicing in my life and my work and bringing to my clients Inside business by design, of course.
1:03
Nicole Laino: And then, you know what I want to bring to you here.
1:05
Nicole Laino: I pull up the things where I'm like, I really think this could benefit the audience.
1:08
Nicole Laino: And right now, you know, we're closing out 2025, as you all know.
1:12
Nicole Laino: And while we won't close out the Chinese New Year until February, given theme of this year, I think it's really important to look at 2025's Year of the Wood Snake.
1:25
Nicole Laino: That's what were in all year, to look at this so that you can close it out properly.
1:31
Nicole Laino: These are five practices that I am going to be engaging in for the next two months and really diligently going through this process.
1:41
Nicole Laino: Now, you have probably already been engaging in this because what happens, what we've learned with these energetic themes for years, whether it be something like the 2027 change that's coming for human design or the year of the Wood Snake and us going into the year of the horse, is that these energies, even if you don't follow this stuff, you're talking about these energies, we can't scientifically prove any of this stuff because correlation doesn't necessarily mean causation.
2:13
Nicole Laino: So just because things have happened in past years of the snake that correlate with these themes doesn't necessarily mean they're caused by the energy.
2:23
Nicole Laino: Of course, we can't prove that, but we're humans.
2:27
Nicole Laino: And to me, what validates this type of conversation and this type of prediction, so to speak, is the fact that, like, I know these themes are here when I'm not thinking about it.
2:40
Nicole Laino: And before I knew about any of this stuff, I battled or rode the energies that were present.
2:48
Nicole Laino: And that's what I notice.
2:49
Nicole Laino: You know, I know so many people listen to the transit episode that I do with Christina Luna every month on this show, and that's really what we're trying to point out is the cosmic weather.
2:59
Nicole Laino: You might not know it's raining, you might not know that we call it rain, but you're getting wet, and you know you're wet.
3:07
Nicole Laino: That's what we're talking about here.
3:09
Nicole Laino: So whether you followed this or not, the Year of the Wood Snake is.
3:13
Nicole Laino: Wood is naturally known as creative energy.
3:16
Nicole Laino: It's nature.
3:17
Nicole Laino: And then the snake.
3:19
Nicole Laino: When we put these two things together, what we got was we got a year of shedding.
3:23
Nicole Laino: Snake is a yin year.
3:25
Nicole Laino: So yin meaning more feminine, more passive, introspective versus outward and outgoing, like what we're going to be going into.
3:35
Nicole Laino: So we have this yin year that we are closing out this year of really deep.
3:41
Nicole Laino: I know.
3:41
Nicole Laino: I heard a lot of people use the term dark night of the soul this year, and I think that's what it could be for a lot of people.
3:49
Nicole Laino: I know people have gone through some really difficult things this year, and what I want to talk about is the way that you work with these energies is you honor them.
3:59
Nicole Laino: If you do the work when it's presented to you, if you meet the challenge as it's presented to you will change, you will be transformed.
4:10
Nicole Laino: And this is a highly transformative year.
4:12
Nicole Laino: So what I'm going to do is break down a little bit about the Year of the Snake.
4:16
Nicole Laino: I'll talk about the Year of the Fire Horse, but we're going to do a separate episode on that.
4:20
Nicole Laino: I just want this one to be about closing out your Year of the Snake properly so that you can go into 2026 guns a blazing, because it's going to be a ride.
4:32
Nicole Laino: We're going to talk a little bit about what the two of those things mean, and then I am going to break down five practices that I am currently engaging in and will be until we ring in the new year with the Chinese new year on February 17th.
4:45
Nicole Laino: Okay, so before I start, if you have not gotten our secret podcast already aligned and profitable.
4:51
Nicole Laino: Oh, my God.
4:52
Nicole Laino: That is so much like what we're going to be talking about.
4:55
Nicole Laino: This alignment with profitability, the masculine and feminine.
5:00
Nicole Laino: If you want to know how to Build a business with your human design, how you want to build it in alignment.
5:06
Nicole Laino: What it really takes to be a CEO and an entrepreneur with longevity.
5:11
Nicole Laino: Who actually makes it, you know, who can make it past the times that are difficult.
5:15
Nicole Laino: Who knows exactly what strategies to employ in order to have success.
5:20
Nicole Laino: To put money in your pocket, but also to have an expanded nervous system so that you can enjoy your life, but also so you can hold more when you ask for it and it comes, you actually can take that in and receive it.
5:33

Nicole Laino: You can download it there or go to nicolelaino.com secretpodcast and you can get it over there on the website.
5:43
Nicole Laino: All right, without further ado, let's get into it.
5:46
Nicole Laino: So the year of the woodsnake.
5:47
Nicole Laino: Just think about the symbolism of a snake.
5:49
Nicole Laino: Snakes are very smart.
5:51
Nicole Laino: They are super strategic.
5:53
Nicole Laino: So that's part of what this year was about.
5:55
Nicole Laino: Wisdom, gaining wisdom.
5:58
Nicole Laino: Snakes don't really.
5:59
Nicole Laino: They're not like partiers, they're not like hanging out.
6:02
Nicole Laino: You see like big groups of snakes hanging out and, you know, like being super outgoing and stuff.
6:07
Nicole Laino: They're not a herd of snakes.
6:09
Nicole Laino: No, they're more introverted, they're more introspective as a symbol.
6:15
Nicole Laino: So what we got with the year of the wood snake was we got themes of shedding.
6:19
Nicole Laino: Think about a snake shedding its skin in order to evolve.
6:24
Nicole Laino: It's a theme of shedding, wisdom, introspection.
6:28
Nicole Laino: And then there's a strategic aspect to a snake that this year it really was about.
6:35
Nicole Laino: We got slowed down.
6:37
Nicole Laino: Did you take the time in that slowdown to start?
6:40
Nicole Laino: In a perfect world, what would have happened is you would have been going about your business this year and then things might have been different, things might have changed, things might not have worked as well.
6:51
Nicole Laino: You.
6:51
Nicole Laino: Different things were probably brought to the surface this year than in any other year and you noticed them.
6:58
Nicole Laino: Again, perfect world.
6:59
Nicole Laino: You have the wisdom to see these things and not panic and not freak out and not make a knee jerk reaction, but to go, okay, let's assess this.
7:10
Nicole Laino: Let me take this in, let me see what's here.
7:13
Nicole Laino: And then you decided what needed to go, what needed to stay, how you needed to show up, what.
7:19
Nicole Laino: What internally needed to be worked through, released and let go of, or what externally needed to be shift, transmuted or changed in some way.
7:30
Nicole Laino: Right.
7:31
Nicole Laino: Was it a strategic thing or was it an internal thing?
7:33
Nicole Laino: You probably had a fair share of both.
7:35
Nicole Laino: But you had the wisdom to see what needed to be preserved.
7:39
Nicole Laino: You had the courage to let go and face your demons and face the things honestly that were holding you back or that served you once, which is what usually is happening.
7:51
Nicole Laino: You know, these are things that.
7:52
Nicole Laino: Most of the things that we carry are things that served us at one time in one way or another, and we no longer can hold them.
7:59
Nicole Laino: They're no longer serving us.
8:01
Nicole Laino: Even the things that we don't look at as serving us at all probably served you at some time.
8:07
Nicole Laino: If you have a bad habit, that habit probably got you through some bad time or something in your past that it allowed you to.
8:17
Nicole Laino: Maybe not in the most healthy way, but in some way it allows you to cope.
8:20
Nicole Laino: But now if you're in a different place, you may not no longer need that coping mechanism.
8:25
Nicole Laino: You might have the wisdom to see that's not the way to get past it.
8:29
Nicole Laino: That's not the correct path.
8:31
Nicole Laino: And I'm going to shift from that to something healthier.
8:33
Nicole Laino: Like that's the wisdom of this year that I hope you're walking away with.
8:37
Nicole Laino: Now I'm going to briefly just go through a little bit about what, you know, what the Year of the Horse will be like or what themes of it are.
8:44
Nicole Laino: Like I said, we're going to have our own episode for the Year of the Fire Horse, because it's a thing.
8:50
Nicole Laino: But I want to talk a little bit about it just in the sense of where you get to understand where we're going, which I think will sort of make it clearer why closing out the Year of the Snake properly is so crucial, it's so important.
9:05
Nicole Laino: So 2026 is not just the Year of the Horse, it's the year of the Fire Horse.
9:09
Nicole Laino: It is a year of passion.
9:11
Nicole Laino: These are themes of the horse here.
9:13
Nicole Laino: Passion, speed, dynamism.
9:17
Nicole Laino: There's a sense of freedom.
9:18
Nicole Laino: Like, if you think of horses, there's this sense of horse, of freedom, unbridled freedom, you know, like, they are the ultimate, like, beautiful, majestic animal.
9:30
Nicole Laino: And the phrase, you know, wild horses run free.
9:33
Nicole Laino: It comes into my mind whenever I. I think of what I want to see horses as, right?
9:39
Nicole Laino: So we're going to experience these things.
9:41
Nicole Laino: It's going to move fast because it's not just a horse here, it is a Fire Horse year.
9:47
Nicole Laino: We have a lot of energy that is going to move quickly.
9:51
Nicole Laino: You do not want to be still shedding and working through stuff, because what you're going to do is you're going to carry old, sticky, negative patterns.
10:01
Nicole Laino: You're Just going to amplify them in 2026.
10:05
Nicole Laino: That's not meant to scare you.
10:06
Nicole Laino: It's meant to prepare you so that you take this work seriously.
10:09
Nicole Laino: This is why, like, sometimes we say we're gonna do things, especially like the introspective work and, you know, really digging into some of the practices that I'm gonna lay out for you.
10:18
Nicole Laino: Like, I'm doing this on, like, a daily basis.
10:21
Nicole Laino: I'm gonna be excavating all of this.
10:24
Nicole Laino: And I'm someone who does this work all the time.
10:26
Nicole Laino: It's not like the first time I'm doing this where I could definitely be one of those people who's like, oh, I've done that already.
10:34
Nicole Laino: No, we're always doing it.
10:35
Nicole Laino: We are always works in progress.
10:38
Nicole Laino: There's stuff today that I have to let go of that had nothing.
10:42
Nicole Laino: You know, maybe I had no idea it was even there five years ago when I started doing this work.
10:47
Nicole Laino: Well, seven years ago, I guess I started doing it.
10:49
Nicole Laino: But do you see what I'm talking about?
10:51
Nicole Laino: What you're probably already experiencing is right now, you're already feeling the energy is picking up.
10:58
Nicole Laino: If you're a sensitive person, sensitive to energy, sensitive to some of these more cosmic kind of energies at work, what you're probably feeling is that the energy is starting to pick up, but it's not there.
11:12
Nicole Laino: So part of your mind might get caught up in that and wants to move fast and wants to sprint into next year and wants to go right, please don't do that.
11:22
Nicole Laino: It's the worst thing that you could do is to try to jump on a horse that is running and nowhere near you.
11:31
Nicole Laino: We're not there yet.
11:32
Nicole Laino: And if your tail is still stuck in the skin, it has not fully shed yet.
11:37
Nicole Laino: You are not ready.
11:39
Nicole Laino: You're still a snake.
11:40
Nicole Laino: You are not a horse yet.
11:41
Nicole Laino: So we have to honor where we are at.
11:44
Nicole Laino: So, like I said, Chinese new year is February 17th.
11:47
Nicole Laino: They have until then.
11:48
Nicole Laino: Now, I'm going to break down these five practices that I'm going through that's going to help you to clean up any mess that you don't want to amplify in 2026.
12:00
Nicole Laino: And again, I say that not to scare you.
12:03
Nicole Laino: I say that to prepare you and to help you understand what these shifts are.
12:09
Nicole Laino: Like I said, this is a yin year.
12:11
Nicole Laino: 2025, yin year, introspective feminine energy.
12:15
Nicole Laino: More leaned back.
12:16
Nicole Laino: 2026 is so not that it is yang and is fire.
12:21
Nicole Laino: It's going to move and it's going to move quickly.
12:25
Nicole Laino: So we Battled things this year, and I know some people are very happy to close the book on 25.
12:30
Nicole Laino: I know it was challenging for so many people.
12:33
Nicole Laino: I'm proud to say that we had our best year in 2025.
12:37
Nicole Laino: I'm really proud of that because so many people I hear are down, are struggling, and I'm not.
12:43
Nicole Laino: And it's not that I'm special, but I've done the work and I've committed and I have a strategy and I know how to profit even in a tough market, even in a tough climate.
12:55
Nicole Laino: But now the energy is going to pick up.
12:57
Nicole Laino: I have to take care of some things because I want to make sure that I enter that clean because the gun is going to go off and the horse is going to run, and I don't want to be caught not holding the reins at that point and get thrown off.
13:09
Nicole Laino: Okay, so let's start.
13:11
Nicole Laino: The first practice that I want you to do in order to let go properly and prepare properly to close out 2025 and the year of the Snake is to celebrate the shedding you've already done.
13:24
Nicole Laino: You know, what have you already released?
13:27
Nicole Laino: Can you look back at this year and just look at it through the lens of shedding, letting go, shifting?
13:34
Nicole Laino: What changes did you make that were difficult that you need to celebrate?
13:38
Nicole Laino: We can forget to do this, especially with, like, the internal shifts that we make.
13:43
Nicole Laino: Unless it turned into some sort of radical, tangible result, we tend to overlook it and just like, yeah, yeah, next.
13:50
Nicole Laino: Don't do that.
13:51
Nicole Laino: If you let go of something that was difficult, if you quit a habit that was holding you back, if you stopped drinking alcohol, celebrate it.
14:00
Nicole Laino: If you went three months without drinking alcohol, celebrate that.
14:04
Nicole Laino: Celebrate whatever it is that you did that you know is going to propel you forward next year.
14:12
Nicole Laino: Really dig into that and really celebrate it.
14:15
Nicole Laino: Be grateful.
14:16
Nicole Laino: Be grateful for the work you've done.
14:18
Nicole Laino: Now, the second practice that's going to help you close out 2025 properly and enter into the Year of the Fire Horse with all of the power and dynamism and passion that you're meant to is to be honest and write down any areas where you are still holding on when you need to let go.
14:40
Nicole Laino: 2025.
14:41
Nicole Laino: The snake gave you wisdom to see clearly what no longer serves you.
14:46
Nicole Laino: And we all have them.
14:47
Nicole Laino: We have things that we know we need to let go, we know we need to release, and we're just not doing it.
14:54
Nicole Laino: Now's the time to do it.
14:55
Nicole Laino: Journal.
14:56
Nicole Laino: Have conversations if you need to, but journal out.
14:59
Nicole Laino: What is it that I need to let go of.
15:01
Nicole Laino: You can meditate on this, you can do a visualization for it, but really dig into what you need to let go of.
15:07
Nicole Laino: What's still there?
15:09
Nicole Laino: Where is there residue?
15:10
Nicole Laino: I think about, like, you know when you put like a sticky tag on something and you peel it off, but there's still like the paper from the sticker and some of the, like adhesive is still on the thing that you bought.
15:23
Nicole Laino: It's like, go get some oil and break that shit down.
15:26
Nicole Laino: Like, I don't want that on my vase.
15:29
Nicole Laino: I don't want that on my.
15:30
Nicole Laino: On my iPad.
15:32
Nicole Laino: I want it to be clean, right?
15:33
Nicole Laino: So go clean off.
15:34
Nicole Laino: Where do you have residue?
15:36
Nicole Laino: Where do you still have some of that paper stuck to the thing that you just bought to the shiny new thing that you want to use and show off to the world, but it's like ugly little stickery thing on it.
15:47
Nicole Laino: Where do you need to let go?
15:49
Nicole Laino: So really take the time to do that.
15:51
Nicole Laino: I am making this kind of a daily exercise of just what do I need to let go of?
15:56
Nicole Laino: Asking myself that question very deliberately.
16:00
Nicole Laino: And sometimes I write about it and sometimes I just sit with it and see what comes up.
16:05
Nicole Laino: Sometimes I'll go for a walk and I'll say, what do I need to let go of?
16:08
Nicole Laino: And I will just let that be theme of the walk.
16:11
Nicole Laino: And I'm not thinking about it actively the whole time.
16:14
Nicole Laino: I'm not like ruining my walk with, like thinking hard.
16:16
Nicole Laino: I am just allowing what needs to come up.
16:20
Nicole Laino: So that's another way that you can approach this same exercise, just from a different way.
16:25
Nicole Laino: The third practice that I have for you, and I love this one, the third practice that I have for you in properly closing out the Year of the Snake is clear.
16:35
Nicole Laino: Your physical space.
16:37
Nicole Laino: Clean a closet, throw things out, shed, let them go.
16:42
Nicole Laino: If it doesn't bring you joy, let it go.
16:45
Nicole Laino: If you haven't worn it in two years, let it go.
16:49
Nicole Laino: Look at all of your expired food.
16:51
Nicole Laino: Go through your pantries.
16:53
Nicole Laino: I just did this.
16:54
Nicole Laino: I'm going through, like cupboard by cupboard and I'm just going through all of these things, taking out, like, is anything expired?
17:00
Nicole Laino: Is there anything in here we're never going touch?
17:02
Nicole Laino: Just stuff that is taking up space and soaking up energy, just in a dead sort of way.
17:08
Nicole Laino: Stagnant, it's not moving.
17:10
Nicole Laino: Get rid of it, Let it go.
17:12
Nicole Laino: You don't need it.
17:14
Nicole Laino: The fourth practice that I have for you to close out the Year of the Snake properly is to set up your energy management system.
17:22
Nicole Laino: This is kind of looking forward at 20, understanding that the fire horse year is going to be fast.
17:29
Nicole Laino: Recognizing that you need systems in place now for how you'll manage your energy, how you'll make decisions, whatever it is there.
17:39
Nicole Laino: You know, you can look at the different areas of your life and business.
17:42
Nicole Laino: Like I look at it and I say communication, sales, client interaction, there are different categories.
17:51
Nicole Laino: My, you know, and then of course there's my life with my family, my home.
17:56
Nicole Laino: Where are systems needed?
17:57
Nicole Laino: Where are things not working?
17:59
Nicole Laino: Recognize it.
18:00
Nicole Laino: Now is the time to clean that up and to start looking at it like we're looking at next year.
18:05
Nicole Laino: And that's why the last episode I did on planning for your 2026 crucial.
18:10
Nicole Laino: When we're planning, looking at just from a strictly business perspective, I'm looking at the sales processes for next year and I'm saying where do I feel like there is friction already?
18:23
Nicole Laino: Where am I afraid that something won't work?
18:27
Nicole Laino: I'm cleaning up my energy around these things.
18:29
Nicole Laino: And I'm also saying where do I know there's a problem already?
18:34
Nicole Laino: Because we've something that we have existing in our company.
18:38
Nicole Laino: Like for me, one of the things that I know I have to clean up, I have to figure out a way.
18:42
Nicole Laino: We've tried so many and I, I wonder if anything can save me here.
18:46
Nicole Laino: But I have to clean up.
18:47
Nicole Laino: Email.
18:48
Nicole Laino: My inbox is such a war zone and I get so emotionally overwhelmed by the amount of correspondence that comes through my inbox between pitches for this show, most of which are garbage, some are decent.
19:07
Nicole Laino: Very few pitches for this show, pitches for brand deals, a lot of things that I wish they were all wonderful because then it would be a great problem of spoils of riches.
19:17
Nicole Laino: But it's not.
19:18
Nicole Laino: And I know that's something I need to clean up.
19:20
Nicole Laino: We've tried doing AI filters and my OBM created like this whole AI sorting system and everything.
19:28
Nicole Laino: It doesn't work.
19:29
Nicole Laino: I feel like I just need to hire somebody to go in and manage my inbox.
19:32
Nicole Laino: And that's sort of what I'm looking for.
19:34
Nicole Laino: And I'm looking for it now.
19:36
Nicole Laino: I'm not doing that in March, I'm doing it now because I know once things pick up, I'm not going to have time to do it.
19:44
Nicole Laino: Now would be the time.
19:45
Nicole Laino: Okay, so identify what practices keep you centered.
19:50
Nicole Laino: How are you going to manage your energy when things pick up?
19:52
Nicole Laino: If you don't have energetic practices, nervous system regulation practices, if you don't have that kind of down now, it will be harder when you're flying on the back of a burning horse to nail these things down, stability is created now.
20:12
Nicole Laino: So what are the practices that keep you centered?
20:15
Nicole Laino: What keeps you grounded?
20:17
Nicole Laino: Do you have a list of them so that if shit hits the fan, you're able to pull that list out and you're like, this is what I'm gonna do.
20:25
Nicole Laino: Do you have mentorship?
20:27
Nicole Laino: Do you have someone or something?
20:29
Nicole Laino: Like, I look at the people who I'm so grateful for, the people that joined Business by Design this last round in November, or.
20:35
Nicole Laino: They're amazing.
20:36
Nicole Laino: They are just these incredible people that I'm so grateful to be working with, and I'm so happy they chose me.
20:43
Nicole Laino: And I'm, you know, not just because it's great for my business and I love working with them, but I'm so happy they chose themselves, because I am looking at where do I need support?
20:52
Nicole Laino: The landscape is changing.
20:53
Nicole Laino: Things are changing.
20:55
Nicole Laino: I need to have sources that I trust where I can ask questions and I can be plugged into people who are actively navigating these choppy waters so that I have a better chance of my boat not just surviving, but getting there first?
21:16
Nicole Laino: Right.
21:17
Nicole Laino: That's what we're talking about.
21:18
Nicole Laino: So what are the systems that you need to have in place both energetically and strategically?
21:24
Nicole Laino: What support do you need to call in and tie it up now?
21:29
Nicole Laino: And now is the time to do it, too.
21:31
Nicole Laino: Get the tax write off for 2025, get it on the books.
21:35
Nicole Laino: You know, lower your tax burden for 2025, sign up for that program, sign up for that mentorship, get the support that you need, and lower your tax burden for this taxable year.
21:48
Nicole Laino: I'm doing that literally right now.
21:50
Nicole Laino: I've already invested in some things, but I'm looking at some others going forward because I know that there's such great potential in the Year of the Fire Horse.
22:00
Nicole Laino: But it's going to move fast, and the people who are going to succeed and excel are the ones that were prepared for it before it started.
22:09
Nicole Laino: All right, and the last piece, the fifth and final practice that I have for you to help you close out the Year of the Snake properly and set you up for success and amplifying all the good things in 2026 is clean up your relationships.
22:27
Nicole Laino: Is there anybody you need to apologize to?
22:29
Nicole Laino: Is there any place where there's, like, weirdness that you need to resolve?
22:34
Nicole Laino: Who do you need to be honest with?
22:36
Nicole Laino: You know, can you have those honest conversations where you're not bringing in, you know, tense or negative energy in any Place where you feel like.
22:47
Nicole Laino: And it doesn't mean that you're, like, talking to every single person that you ever knew and telling them you're sorry or whatever.
22:51
Nicole Laino: But if you sat down and you asked yourself, where do I have to clean up a relationship?
22:56
Nicole Laino: Where is there something in a relationship that I value or something that's holding me back?
23:01
Nicole Laino: You know, where there's a cord between us and I need to cut that cord, that might be something that you need to do.
23:06
Nicole Laino: Or there might be a relationship that you value where there is some sort of tension or unspoken truths there that need to be voiced.
23:16
Nicole Laino: If you ask yourself the question of what relationships need to be cleared up, if you sat with that, if you went for a walk with that question, the right people would come to your mind.
23:26
Nicole Laino: They might not right away, but if you sat with it, which is why we're doing this work now and not, you know, February 15th.
23:33
Nicole Laino: February 15th is probably too late to do this in a meaningful way because there's going to be stuff that comes up over time.
23:40
Nicole Laino: Keep revisiting it, keep at it, keep coming back to this.
23:44
Nicole Laino: And if you have somebody, so say somebody is not available to you, they're not speaking to you, they passed away.
23:50
Nicole Laino: Which is really common where we have energetic problems with people who are no longer on this physical plane.
23:57
Nicole Laino: Well, do a burning ritual.
23:59
Nicole Laino: Write them a letter, read it out loud as if they can hear it, and then burn it and release the relationship.
24:06
Nicole Laino: Release the animosity.
24:07
Nicole Laino: Who do you need to forgive?
24:10
Nicole Laino: Forgiveness is such a powerful energy.
24:13
Nicole Laino: The energy of forgiveness is the energy of release because you're not holding on to anything anymore.
24:21
Nicole Laino: Because even if you might say, like, I release this, if you haven't forgiven, you really haven't truly surrendered the relationship, if you've forgiven them, then there's peace.
24:31
Nicole Laino: If you haven't, then there's not.
24:33
Nicole Laino: So I hope that you enjoyed this episode.
