6 - A Wolf Named Truth (a pep talk for aliveness)

Season 1 · Episode 3

Monday, December 8, 2025 • Duration 04:33

A poem about surrendering to the fire.

This piece arrived for me as I navigated grief and anger. It has become a lighthouse for me as I dance in the tension of being a soft, deeply loving person who also has a sharp sword and low tolerance for bullsh*t.

I'd love to know how it lands for you.

5 - A Riff About Grief, Paradox, & Pathology

Season 1 · Episode 3

Thursday, November 27, 2025 • Duration 20:55

No one told me about this part.

Before the action. Before the breakthroughs. Before the “new life.”

There's the grief.

In this episode, I’m talking about the part of bravery that feels neither seductive or productive. And why it's essential in a society that either pathologies or stigmatizes everything that makes us human.

We’ll talk about:
– Why grief isn’t a problem to fix but a threshold to cross
– How our culture pathologizes the things that get in the way of corporate productivity
– The lie of “good vibes only”
– Why you can feel devastated and devoted to your life at the same time
– And how learning to hold paradox might actually be the key to mental, emotional, and relational health

4 - The Right Kind of Hard

Season 1 · Episode 4

Saturday, November 15, 2025 • Duration 31:27

You already do hard things.

Working long hours is hard. Putting up with being mistreated is hard. Living in a body that can't do what you want is hard.

Somewhere along the way, school, church, sports, or work taught us that discipline was a dirty word. It’s time to reclaim our ability to choose hard things. This is how we come alive again.

Inspiration can light a fire, but only practicality will chop the wood. In this episode, I share three grounded tools I use to face my life head-on, follow through, and build real self-respect.

Follow along as I do hard things and learn: @zoe.alaine

3 - I Need Your Hot Naked Bravery (a pep talk for aliveness)

Episode 3

Thursday, October 30, 2025 • Duration 09:05

A spicy little pep talk from Bravery herself.

For when you’re done pretending you don’t feel that ache for more, and you're ready to do something about it.

2 - More Therapy or More Protein? Understanding Life Ecosystems

Episode 2

Thursday, October 30, 2025 • Duration 21:46

Not everything is a trauma response. And not everything can be fixed by putting your feet on the grass and eating more protein. Our lives are wider than we give ourselves credit for. We’ve built a culture that loves to diagnose and dissect, and to see life as a collection of separate problems to be managed. But what if your anxiety, fatigue, or pain aren’t disorders to fix, but signals from an ecosystem out of balance?

In this episode, I explore how to tend to your life like a living system - where therapy, protein, and spreadsheets all have their place.

1 - Waking Up in a Sedated World

Episode 1

Wednesday, October 29, 2025 • Duration 18:39

Welcome to Root and Flame — the field notes of a woman trying to be more honest, creative, and fully alive. In this first episode, I talk about what it means to wake up inside a culture built to keep us comfortable and numb. I share some of my own story of chasing intensity just to feel alive, and what I’m learning about a truer kind of aliveness: one that’s rooted in the body, in health, in creativity, and in courage.

This episode touches on my experiences working in chronic pain rehab, recovering from a motorcycle accident, and my quest to live awake and intentionally.

If life feels like too much, not enough, or you’re just trying to feel something real again, this one’s for you.
