In this immersive episode, Juliet shares her powerful experience becoming a certified firewalk instructor and spiritual leadership facilitator under the guidance of Peggy Dylan. The conversation begins lightheartedly but quickly dives into the deep psychological, emotional, and energetic aspects of firewalking. We explore what compels someone to walk across hot coals, the transformational power of facing fear, and the tribal origins of this ancient practice. Juliet also discusses the physical challenges like arrow breaking and glass walking, and how these practices build courage, focus, and inner strength. We talk about group dynamics, personal awakenings, and how removing distractions (like mobile phones!) deepened the entire experience. The episode ends with reflections on modern leadership, trust, and the n'um—the tribal energy concept that empowers the body to transcend fear.

Themes explored:

• Firewalking as metaphor and rite of passage

• The balance of science, spirituality, and survival instinct

• Authentic leadership and the importance of presence

• Inner transformation through discomfort

• The impact of removing digital distractions

• Tribal wisdom and reclaiming communal practices

• Tailoring spiritual experiences to audience and environment

Quote-worthy moments:

“Build your energy and your body performs.”“Sometimes the body knows how to walk through fire even when the mind still doubts.”“Without phones, time disappeared… and I finally heard myself again.”
