90. Season III Finale: The Show Notes Must Go On
“The show notes must go on” - Freddie Mercury if he saw this was our last episode of the season, probably. Season 3 has been a certified ride, and we’re back this week to recap it all #JustOffTheTop of our heads. We’re giving you the behind the scenes scoop on each episode, gushing over our unparalleled guests, and having a much needed story time to ensure you’ve reaped all the comedic glory of Season 3. Emily shares about an amazing but limited time offering (link below), and Keighlee confesses a big secret that came to light during the editing process. We’ll be going on a little break, and hopefully not ghosting each other like last time because we have some special things planned before Season 4! Be sure to follow us @thefifthelementpod to stay up to date. Our hearts are so full from the love we’ve received over the last 90 episodes. Thank you for all your support, Elementals. Who knows, maybe we’ll make an out-of-the-woodwork appearance during Mercury Retrograde 👀

89. Encanto Review: You Are More Than Just Your Gift
🎶Okay, okay, okay🎶 the time has come for our seasonal movie review! After Frozen II and Moana we asked ourselves 🎶What else can I do?🎶 and suspiciously right on Colombian cue Lin rapped his way into the Casita with a Madrigalian masterpiece that rivals them both?? Talk about #gifts. In Episode 89 we’re going 🎶under the surface🎶 of Disney’s 2021 film, Encanto - a musical about healing the intergenerational trauma of a family described as 🎶a glowing constellation🎶. Obviously we were on that like bee stings on Augustín. Join us as we dare to 🎶talk about Bruno🎶, spin Abeula hot takes like 🎶a hurricane of jacarandas🎶, and transform from oruguitas to mariposas in real time. SEASON 3 FINALE NEXT WEEK!

88. Bad Blood: All of Our Opposing Opinions
There are 137 days til Christmas but there are only 3 more episodes of Season 3…if we’re still friends by the end of this one that is. This week Ebenezer I mean Emily tells us why she hates Christmas, exposes her Grammy Award-winning aunt, and gives us insight into her complicated relationship with Taylor Swift. Meanwhile, Keighlee reveals the darkest time of her life that may or may not involve One Direction’s rise to fame, shares what it’s like to grow up in a family that loves traditions, and even cries about an elfen manchild. YES WE TALK ABOUT LIN-MANUEL BUT ONLY FOR A LITTLE BIT OKAY

87. Sister Witches: A Bond that Transcends Lifetimes ft. Heidi Bruce & Molly Bruce
It’s no surprise we love talking about sisterhood, and today the real-life Bruce sisters are uniting for a special sisters episode of the podcast. Heidi gives us the scoop on her quality time with Abby Lee Miller, Molly tells about all the things she doesn’t remember, and they both reveal what it was like growing up with Emily as a big sister. We also hear about their past life coven, the Capricorn Christmas turned Jamaican breakdown, and their TSA kidnapping scare. Mother Goose is quaking.

86. Ayurveda: A User's Manual for this Human Life ft. Veronica Wolff-Casey
Move over Adam Conover, Ayurveda’s ruining everything in today’s episode. And by ruining we mean SAVING US from the devil’s handiwork (aka smoothies). Ayurvedic chef, Veronica Wolff-Casey spills the chai on this ancient science of life, and how it can bring balance into yours, in spite of the bag of lettuce - I mean lies - we’ve been sold by allopathic medicine. Listen to find out why Keighlee’s cooking all her water, why Emily needs iced coffee like she needs a hole in her head, and why you should be looking for ripe bananas in more bowls than just your fruit bowl. Once again, trigger warning for vegans.

85. Leo Season is Coming (to Save Us)
Raise your hand if you’ve been personally victimized by astrological transits. Yep, the only thing as universal as Regina George-induced trauma. We’ll be honest, Elementals, just like Cady Heron trying to assimilate into American high school, we’re feeling a little chaotic and discombobulated. And just like Leo tried to save Kate from another watery demise, Leo season is here to save us from our Cancer season woes. We’re talking about the impending Jupiter retrograde, counting down to our Saturn Returns, identifying Keighlee’s stalker, and finding out why Emily’s notorious in Massachusetts salons. Oh and speaking of movies, head over to our Instagram page to guess what movie we’ll be reviewing at the end of this season, and win a special prize. Details at the end of this episode!

In improv, we never say no to our scene partners, and here at the pod, we never say no to learning about a tool for integration! Improv changed our lives in 2018, and we’ve been sharing its promotion of active listening, trusting well, co-creating, and fostering meaningful relationships ever since. In this ep, we’re also breaking down the BIG difference between theatre kids and kids with theatre backgrounds, finding out why Keighlee is a timelord, and why Emily doesn’t need 6 eggs. Stay tuned for Part II coming out next week! #Justice4Sharpay

81. Heart-Centered Healing: Naturopathic Medicine & Craniosacral Therapy ft. Dr. Emily Telfair
Have you ever had a two-hour intake with a doctor who desires to know the vitality of your heart and not just your vital signs? Have you ever been handed a prescription that says, “Be with the trees”? Let’s just say, once you go naturopathic, you can’t go back! We are truly honored to welcome our personal pocket angel, Dr. Emily Telfair of HeartSpace Natural Medicine, to Episode 81. We’ve mentioned her countless times before because of her unparalleled influence on our physical healing and, in turn, our whole lives, and we are so grateful for all the space her own heart holds for so many. In addition to sharing what naturopathic medicine is, Dr. Emily shares her journey to becoming a doctor who centers the connection between mind, body, and spirit, and just how important returning to nature is for the nervous system. We also share our experiences with craniosacral therapy, and shed a few tears along the way. We love you, Dr. Emily!!

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel: Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

80. Red, the Color of Their Flags: Les Men Leaving Us Miserables
🎶Black, the color of our despair🎶 Let’s be honest, Elementals, the red flags seem to be running rampant these days, and it has us wondering if we’d be better 🎶on our own🎶 In Episode 80, Keighlee’s exposing some very specific warning signs, while Emily shares her dealbreaking icks. We can’t help that our lived experiences have led us to have strong feelings about Ram Dass apologists, #Kravis, Smart House, and Backpack Boys™. Listen to find out why some men aren’t that different from fish named after other animals, 🎶this we swear by the staaaaaaars🎶

79. The Exit Ramp to Destiny: Embracing Your Saturn Return ft. Auburn Lily

78. Rebranding Retrograde: Gleaning Meaning from Mercury
The Trickster™ is at it again which means the cars are brinking on explosion, and the exes are straight outta the woodwork. And yet, despite all the chaos of a retrograde transit, we’re breaking down the fruits of this call to intention, exposing the theological unsoundness of “everything happens for a reason”, discussing other astrological themes of the present times, and daring to be seen through it all. #Justice4Mercury

O-H! I-Omg! Do we have a fabulous episode for you! Mindy Schlechter of Effloresce Coaching joins us to share how defaultly-prescribed pharmaceutical “cure-alls” like birth control and antidepressants landed her in an involuntary hospital hold, the steps she took to break free from the institutions that sought to contain her, and how she works with women today to hold space for their own healing journeys. Themes of sisterhood, true balance, mental health, ayurvedic healing, and sexual wellness abound in this, the first meeting of what might just have to become an Eldest Daughter Support Group.

What would happen if you were willing to have what you want? Free Birth Society’s Emilee Saldaya joins us to share how she’s built a life that centers women, and why her family and the world are better for it.

75. Eat the Cheese: Intuitive Eating & the Vegan Agenda ft. Christine Rivi
So three ex-vegans walk into a podcast…they don’t last long, because well, there are no historically surviving vegan societies. Some might just call that an epidemic! Christine Rivi returns in Episode 75 to explain why she abandoned her staunch vegan lifestyle in favor of a life that centers nutrient-dense animal products. She asks the question, “Why are we eating an entirely different diet than our biology asks of us?”, while Keighlee asks, “Do you need cinnamon rolls or do you need someone to love you?”. Learn what difference a single egg can make for women, the importance of embracing the paradox of life and death, what happens when we begin to invest in the bodies we call home, and why there are no excuses.

Our first solo episode in weeks and guess who just HAD to be part of it?! And in the midst of our matriarchy season no less…sigh. Today we’re continuing our season-long theme of having polarizing conversations, by discussing the topics we disagree on wholeheartedly. Yes, it’s mostly about persistent piragua peddler, Lin-Manuel Miranda. In this midseason catch-up, you’ll also hear why Keighlee’s the poster child for German New Medicine, and the deets on her forthcoming documentary. And Emily shares her favorite desert-dwelling hobby, and comes clean about being a SoundCloud rapper.

This may be our #matriarchy season, but it’s also our #morningmatcha season, and in Ep. 71, we’ve got a woman who’s no stranger to either. You may know @whosebodyisit for her exposure of truths and advocacy for women, but did you know she’s also an artist, hypnotist, and snake charmer?

69. Hair Healing & Herbalism: Replacing Beauty Standards with Sovereignty ft. Arielle de Martinez
If you think Season 3 has been radical so far, wait until you hear how we don’t use shampoo!

68. German New Medicine: The Ancient Language of Awareness ft. Dr. Melissa Sell
What if every time you felt “sick”, you said “my body’s in an active state of healing”? What if it were true? In Episode 68, we’re talking to Dr. Melissa Sell about German New Medicine - the radical belief that the body works with us, to protect and heal us after emotional conflicts occur. Forget Duolingo, learn the ancient biological language that explains how tumors aren’t random, cancer isn’t inevitable, and how the concept of “autoimmunity” is absurd. Pack your PB&Js, because the time has come to escape the fear narrative and return to nature.
