About this episode
Karissa Dean reflects on personal growth and empowerment, encouraging listeners to let go of what no longer serves them and move forward with intention and self-trust.
In today’s episode of Critical Conversation , I’m reintroducing myself and reflecting on what 2025 asked of me as I shed in the Year of the Snake—letting go of what no longer fit, even when it wasn’t easy. I share what I’m carrying forward into the Year of the Horse: movement with intention, purpose, and self-trust. Through the lens of horses (and how deeply they mirror us as humans), I explore what it means to stop forcing, start listening, and choose aligned forward motion. This is an empowering conversation—an invitation to remember that you don’t have to stay stuck in situations that no longer serve you. You’re allowed to move. You’re allowed to choose differently. And this year, we move with clarity, courage, and direction.
