Spiralers...what a TREAT!!! We had the lovely Flynn Skidmore join us to have a deeply healing and grounding conversation that soothed generational wounds, the superiority vs. inferiority complex, and the resistance to acceptance. If you are not already familiar with Flynn, he is someone who has been fascinated by the unconscious from an early age which led him to his previous practice as a therapist with extensive training in Internal Family Systems, Neuro Linguistic Programming, and Somatic Experiencing. His primary intention for clients all around the world is to accelerate evolution. By diving deeply into the wounds, friction, and patterning that prevent us from creating momentum, he offers an uncanny ability to bring warmth to the parts of us that we perceive as darkness - freeing up energy to become more creative and loving.
Because Sam personally knows and has worked with Flynn, this conversation felt like 3 friends exploring their parallel perspectives on generational wounds, feeling unseen by a parent, meeting your ego, and how to truly grow and get what you desire from your relationships. Gina shares her own vulnerable experience of feeling unseen by her mother and the impact it has had on her, while Flynn offers a liberating perspective on healing that is counter to what many healers offer these days.
Through this conversation, we all get to be deeply vulnerable and transparent about the ways in which we derived value and self-importance in our lives and the underlying fears and desires behind those behaviors (shadow work!)
But perhaps the most compelling element of this conversation was Flynn's approach to the terrifying fear, "What if I don't reach my potential?" and "Why won't the other person change?" His perspective and emphasis on personal responsibility and independence is a paradigm shift and he offers his very own co-creation framework: shared vision, capacity to execute, rate of execution, and satisfaction with rate of execution. Flynn also explains that relational satisfaction comes down to aligning visions and having satisfactory rates of execution with respect to that very vision in relationships. He also explores the themes of frustration and dissatisfaction in relationship and identifies how you can overcome these.
If you're still reading these, trust me...this one's good. It's soul food for the human who is actively doing the inner work and by the end of this episode, you will better understand the behaviors that inform our false sense of superiority or value and the transformative powers of acceptance, curiosity and personal responsibility.

Spiralers, we're calling you (and ourselves!) out. It's time to become aware of and heal our attachment to the far too common "ALL OR NOTHING" paradigm - where you are either going full throttle, pedal to the metal, or completely exhausted and avoiding things all together.
Listen to this episode on YouTube:
For years we both struggled with the constant physical and emotional pendulum swing from wild action to inaction, unable to find a healthy and sustainable balance from which to pursue our desires. We were always either going for it and simulatenously sacrificing our own needs or we were too afraid or burnt out to take any action at all.
If this sounds familiar to you, you are likely stuck in BLACK + WHITE thinking. It's the tendency to see, and act, in extremes. Either it's all good or ALL bad. Although this type of thinking might feel normal to you, as it once did for us, it's actually a cognitive distortion.
If you were to read about it on Wikipedia, it would say that binary thinking, black-and-white thinking, all-or-nothing thinking, or thinking in extremes is "the failure in a person's thinking to bring together the dichotomy of both perceived positive and negative qualities of something into a cohesive, realistic whole. It is a common defense mechanism wherein the individual tends to think in extremes with no middle ground."
Here on the Spiraling Higher Podcast, we have been abundantly clear that our BELIEFS shape our reality. So, consider this...if our beliefs are distorted to see things in an all or nothing fashion...how will that shape our experience of life? In our experience, it led to extreme highs and sometime even lower lows. We realized eventually that our thinking was playing a role in the creation of our inner roller coaster and we feel so honored to be sharing those lessons today from the heart.
Highlights:
-Discover how perfectionism seeps into our daily routines, amplifying feelings of guilt and pressure.
-Uncover the constraints of all-or-nothing thinking and how it limits our personal freedom.
-Explore the empowering journey of challenging societal norms as a route to genuine self-acceptance.
-Hear the truth behind New Year's resolutions and the reasons they fall flat.
-Learn the vital balance between flexibility and rigidity in goal-setting for healthier well-being.
-Understand how perfectionistic beliefs can cast a shadow over parenting, affecting both parents and children.
-Explore the powerful connection between self-punishment and all-or-nothing thinking, and discover effective strategies to break free from this cycle for a healthier, more balanced mindset.

Spiralers, get ready for one of the BEST conversations we've been lucky to host in our studio with THE Vanessa Lau! You might recognize her from her popular YouTube channel and social media platforms for previously sharing viral IG content creation tips to over 800k people! She was the pinnacle of a young successful entrepreneur having been a barista in 2018 before finally posting her first YouTube video, which quickly grew to almost a million followers and took her from 0 to 7 million in just a few short years.
Listen to this episode on YouTube:
"Vanessa Lau is an online entrepreneur, social media educator, and content marketing expert. She is one of the youngest entrepreneurs to have had such an impact on social media that millions of people know her. She teaches new entrepreneurs how to build their influence and scale their businesses using the power of social media."
Before last year, that's how Vanessa identified herself. It was the persona she showed the world and hid behind to continue building her brand her business. But in 2023, Vanessa shut down the business, went dark on social media and had no idea when or if she would ever return. Both Sam and Gina, along with her growing audience of hundreds of thousands of people, wondered with wild curiosity what had happened!? Where did she go and is she coming back?!
Spiralers, she is BACK and today she puts all of the rumors to rest and shares her story - an incredible story of healing and self trust.
Since her return, she has completely shifted her entire business model and perspectives on social media. Now, she's here to share how to feel good, live more, and earn enough.
This conversation shows a very honest, authentic Vanessa as she vulnerably shares her journey of placing her worth in work to ultimately burning out and having to heal from within. From her unexpected sabbatical, she gained life lessons that now feels called to share with her online community in a whole new way and we can't wait to hear what you think of this conversation.
Highlights:
-Why Vanessa LEFT social media and her business at her peak (and why she CAME BACK!)
-The pressures of social media fame + How it impacts sustainability and business
-How tasting "success" can lead to a disconnect between personal values & business goals
-People-pleasing can create unsustainable business practices
-Becoming aware of how ego can drive entrepreneurs to create unsustainable business models (and how to lead in business instead!)
-Soft girl era vs. Girl boss era (Hint: BOTH are flawed!)
-The transition from living for perfectionism and instead living from authenticity

Are you actually lazy or just really tired? What's the difference? We get this question A LOT from our coaching clients so we wanted to dedicate an entire episode to the careful discernment between rest and avoidance. As our clients are often coming off of the adrenaline-powered hustle and fear-driven pursuit of "success," they find themselves VERY tired.
Watch this episode on Youtube:
Taking breaks, slowing down, and adjusting their expectations can be an awkward, even stressful, process coming from such a high-paced background that was tied to their sense of self-worth. Taking these necessary adjustments can bring up thoughts and feelings like...
"Am I being lazy?"
"Should I be working harder?"
"Am I being too easy on myself?"
"What is going to happen to me if I slow down?"
"What if I become a couch potato??!"
These fears are the ego's work - an attempt to keep you in fear and scarcity. However, we do see people who use rest as an excuse far past the point of revival and rejuvenation. How do you know you're one of them? In this episode, we share our honest opinions and hope it helps you discern the difference between rest and avoidance!

Best-selling author, speaker, and mental health advocate Kristina Kuzmic has made herself a household name, speaking to mothers from the trenches of parenthood and women who struggle to be authentic via her viral videos and refreshingly honest books. In the Spiraling Higher Studio, she shares her inspiring journey from poverty and divorce to becoming a successful content creator and author with her message of self-acceptance, resilience, and imperfection.
Listen to this episode on YouTube:
Kristina's life story is truly the stuff of great books - no wonder she is a writer! In this conversation, she shares how she went from broke and defeated to unshakeably grounded and grateful, eventually winning the reality TV competition “Oprah’s Search for the Next TV Star,” despite having just become a suddenly single mother to two kids and eventually learning her oldest son was struggling with serious mental illness.
Since working with Oprah, Kristina has branched out on her own, creating videos about juggling all of life’s challenges, and encouraging her audience to prioritize their mental health. She has quickly become a viral sensation with 3 million Facebook followers and over 750,000 Instagram followers.
Today, she uses her platform to to encourage people to be REAL. Kristina is the absolute embodiment of AUTHENTIC and is a no BS, honest storyteller who embraces her imperfections and listens to the voice within rather than the noise from the naysayers. We were in absolute awe of her story and feel that this episode truly embodied every single one of our values here at Spiraling Higher, especially curiosity and connection.
After listening to this episode, you will feel empowered and more courageous to embody the truth of who you are and live boldly as your soul desires!

Today's guest is....GINA!!! Although we have interviewed so many incredible guests in the Spiraling Higher Studio, we realized we had never actually interviewed each other.
Watch this episode on YouTube:
In this conversation, Sam interviews Gina about her journey of seeking validation and the realization that she needed to see and love herself. Gina gets to be radically honest and authentic about the early childhood moments of impact that had drastic effects on her self-worth and the healing process that followed. Gina details the extensive inner journey of meeting with her inner child and emphasizes the importance of relating to the part of oneself that didn't get what it needed to ultimately becoming her own inner parent. Gina also shares how she now defines success versus how she used to find success in comparison.
This conversation is the healing balm to anyone who is on a journey of healing with themes of self-dismisal, fear of being seen, and beliefs of unworthiness.
Highlights:
-Seeking external validation and its inextricable connection to dissatisfaction
-How to meet the inner child and help them feel seen
-Redefining success is an act of self-loving rebellion
-Choosing to be vulnerable as an act of service
-How she started her journey of healing her deepest wounds of not feeling worthy or valuable

Today's guest is....SAM!!! Although we have interviewed so many incredible guests in the Spiraling Higher Studio, we realized we had never actually interviewed each other.
Watch this episode on YouTube:
In this episode, Gina interviews Sam about her personal journey of spiraling through perfectionism and learning to be truly present in her body. They discuss the importance of authenticity, the power of presence, and the process of self-acceptance. With so much gratitude and reverence, Sam gets to share the appreciation for her darkest nights of the soul and gets candid about depression and anxiety. If it were not for these difficult moments, she believes it would not be possible for her to be here today and helping the collective to become more loving ♥️
This conversation is going to unlock a deep level of compassionate attention to the parts of you who feel scared to be imperfect or like they are never good enough.
Takeaways:
-Perfectionism creates a constant goalpost that keeps moving & preventing us from feeling good enough
-Being present and in our bodies allows us to truly experience life and feel like we are living
-Authenticity is about being honest with ourselves & accepting our nervous system exactly as it is in any given moment
-Moving at a slower pace can actually lead to greater productivity and a more sustainable way of living
-We are our own source (recognize this and you'll never forget how powerful you are!)

Join Sam and Gina in this greatest hits throwback episode with New York Times Best Selling author KYLE CEASE! Kyle blew us away in this episode and if you haven't already listened or are new to Kyle, he has a beautiful gift of merging comedy with personal transformation.
Before following his soul's calling, Kyle had two #1 Comedy Central specials and was voted #1 on Comedy Central's Stand-Up Showdown. But after getting everything he thought he wanted, he realized his then "dream" career was still a mask for the pain of conditional love. He now dedicates his heart and soul to Evolving Out Loud, which is a growing community with over 400 thousand members worldwide, to helping people heal and learn our highest truth: Unconditional love.
In this conversation, Sam and Gina are mindblown that their dream guest is finally on the pod and dive into:
-How to feel our emotions without judging
-How to follow your desires or mission without getting attached
-Why we are so addicted to "doing" rather than "being"
-How to love and listen to our inner children
-Unlearning the pattern of conditional love
-And so much more...You're not going to want to miss this one!

It's been just over 2 years now of Spiraling Higher and we're reflecting on WHY we got started and how we continue to level up and stay committed on this journey. We took this opportunity to answer some long overdue questions from our community and were able to candidly share our most memorable moments, fave guest highlights, as well of the challenges of producing a podcast, from technical hurdles to navigating personal feelings of unworthiness and the fear of being seen.
In this episode, like so many others, we're really pulling back the curtain and showing you how we approach any and all goals - especially this podcast. It's no secret, but we're big fans of the process over the outcome, presence over pressure, and authenticity over perfection.
If you felt inspired by this episode yet still feel held back by feelings of not enoughness, self criticism and doubt...you will feel so seen and heard at our upcoming LIVE workshop: Perfectionism to Peace on August 18th at 10AM - 12:30 PM PST.
Join us and other Spiralers for an interactive and transformative online experience where we will be diving deep into the wound of perfectionism, how it shows up and holds us back, and ultimately, how to release it to free our creativity and authentic selves.
Tickets are available by clicking the link below:

We know this title makes it sound like this is going to be a boring episode about accountability...but we think a lot of you will be very surprised to learn what true accountability is AND that you probably don't know how to take accountability at all. What most people know how to do is BLAME themselves for every seemingly wrong or bad situation, which doesn't actually address the behavior or actions in question.
Watch this episode on YouTube:
This episode was deeply inspired by our current and past coaching clients who all share a common pattern of what we call "Turning against yourself." You might be familiar with this. When a mistake is made, a detail is missed, or a someone gets upset...you automatically blame yourself. This sounds like:
"I'm such a bad friend"
"I'm such an idiot"
"I'm not good enough"
"I don't even deserve this opportunity"
"I can't do anything right"
"I always mess things up"
"I'm such a terrible mother/wife/friend"
"I never do anything right"
If you suffer from hearing these kind of thoughts on a daily basis, like so many women do, this episode is going to be an eye-opener for you! We teach the perspectives that have freed our clients, and ourselves, from the constant negative stream of self-blame and shame to feel more at peace and in control.
And if you enjoy this episode (or honestly this podcast) you will feel so seen and heard at our upcoming LIVE workshop: Perfectionism to Peace on August 18th at 10AM - 12:30 PM PST.
Join us and other Spiralers for an interactive and transformative online experience where we will be diving deep into the wound of perfectionism, how it shows up and holds us back, and ultimately, how to release it to free our creativity and authentic selves.

Mental Health activist, writer, and speaker Kate Speer authentically shares her mental health journey from feeling different as a child to being diagnosed with ADHD and later a misdiagnosed bipolar disorder. Feeling unsupported from such a young age by the education system due to limiting criteria for diagnosis as well as the stigmas surrounding mental illness, Kate experienced a myriad of symptoms.
*Trigger Warning* : This episode discusses suicide and psychosis. These mentions are authentic to the storyteller.
After experiencing 15 years of disabling mental illness, chronic psychotic breaks, enumerable psychiatric hospitalizations, and a suicide attempt, Kate was told by doctors that the only way she would survive was to live in a long-term, locked psychiatric ward. Kate, stubborn to her core and no stranger to defying the expectations of her care team, told them to go to hell.
She refused to give up. She met with doctor after doctor, and even after being told that she needed residential care by all of them, she kept searching. In one last-ditch effort to not end up in a ward, she met with a trauma therapist known for his intense behavioral methodologies who told her that she was about to work the hardest she ever had in her life to overcome her patterns. Kate didn’t think twice about it. She committed to the work and began the recovery of a lifetime. She worked relentlessly using disciplined exposure therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to tackle her OCD, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, and PTSD. Day after day, Kate leaned into the discomfort of her fear and though terrified, she continued to do exactly what the doctor prescribed anyway.
Despite everything Kate has faced, she is one of the strongest, kind, accepting humans we have ever known. Her journey with mental illness has helped her emphasize the importance of self-acceptance and contributes to her desire in creating a world where people can hold space for both pain and joy. One of our favorite parts of this conversation is how openly and radically she encourages embracing the messiness of life and rejecting the pressure to present a polished image, giving us an opportunity to share our collective thoughts on the negativity of social media.
Now, nine years later, she is happy (ish!), married, and has transitioned into public mental health work after her five-year tenure as the CEO of The Dogist, where she scaled the company’s audience to five million subscribers. She is currently working with Harvard to scale public health campaigns that help today’s youth while finalizing her very first memoir. Her hope for the future is to use social media for good instead of the bottom line and scale academic-creator collaborations that reach young people online where they get their information. This is just the beginning of that work and though she is unsure of where exactly it will take her, one thing’s for sure – even though her doctors were convinced that she would only survive in a locked ward, she proved them spectacularly wrong.
If you have ever struggled with mental health, this conversation contains the most madly inspiring, radically humbling, and honest message for you at this time: Healing is absolutely possible, but it won't be perfect and it will happen little by little. You got this.

Listen to Kate's TEDTALK: https://www.ted.com/talks/katie_speer_fisher_how_embracing_fear_and_vulnerability_saved_my_life?subtitle=en&trigger=0s
Kate's Substack: https://katespeer.substack.com/
As mindset coaches, we hear A LOT of limiting beliefs and narratives that have been picked up throughout one's life as a result of conditioning and past life experiences. Having coached hundreds of people between the two of us, we thought it would be helpful to share the MOST common limiting beliefs we help our clients work through.
Watch this episode on YouTube:
Together, we explore the belief that success requires hustle and sacrifice, the idea of being ready before taking action, and the tendency to blame oneself for past actions. We also chat about the ignorance of the present moment (and why that happens), valuing one's own experiences and perspectives, and accepting what has happened in order to move forward.
If you are a human being living in a capitalist country, it would be almost impossible for you to have not picked up at least one of the mentioned beliefs! The good news is that these thoughts were learned, and therefore, can be superseded by new thoughts that are more supportive and aligned with the life you desire to live.
If you've been feeling like you are hitting a wall on your journey, listening to this episode will help you identify the belief(s) that's standing in the way.
Highlights:
- How the belief that one has to work hard & suffer to have a good life and scarcity are linked
- How the belief that one has to show up a certain way to make an impact or be accepted actually hinders your desire for connection and acceptance
- The fearful illusion of "falling behind"
- Re-defining "success"
- Why waiting to be "ready" never works
- Shifting away from punishment into acceptance

Your all-time favourite spiritual memes on social media were highly likely to have been created by our incredibly artistic guest JAMES MCCRAE aka @wordsarevibrations!
James is not only your most shared meme artist but also a published author, poet, and creative strategist helping people tap into their own creative channels to use art to communicate important stories and messages.
Watch this episode on YouTube:
In this conversation, James tells us about his own creative process and what has helped him tap into his well of intuition. He emphasizes the importance of creativity for all humans, whether one decides to share their work or not and explains the balance between the yin and yang aspects of creativity. Creativity requires not only doing, but tons of BEING (resting, contemplating, reflecting). Gina also got to ask about the role of the EGO / INNER CRITIC on our creative journeys, which so many of us suffer from and James’s answer did not disappoint!
The common thread throughout this conversation was that creativity exists naturally within all of us, although we can become disconnected from this effortless ability due to social pressures and expectations. So we encourage you, creative human, to tune into this conversation to remember your own unique creativity - and to learn how to harness it in the name of service.

Perfectionism isn’t what most people think it is!!! It is not believing you are perfect or even trying to be perfect. It is the unconscious and fearful need to be perceived as someone who never gets anything wrong, never messes up, and always knows what they are doing. If you suffer from perfectionism, you are likely riddled with self doubt and believe that the doubt or unworthiness will dissolve when you become more skilled, more knowledgeable, more experienced…more SOMETHING! Perfectionism never allows yourself to be accepted in the now; it perpetually asks that you have to be something or do something before you can. Perfectionism is the antithesis of what we aim to foster on this podcast, which is SELF LOVE & ACCEPTANCE.
Watch this episode on Youtube:
So in this conversation, we break down the illusion of perfectionism by connecting back to its originating wound in addition to exploring its twin sister - PROCRASTINATION. Both perfectionism and its counterpart procrastination are driven by a fear of not meeting expectations…but who is setting the bar?
Tune into this conversation if you’re seeking to understand why you feel like you can never relax and always need to do more.

There is a reason why we love to hear about how people fell to a rock bottom in their life and turned it all around. When we hear these stories, we see our own selves - our potential, our inner strength and limitless capacity to turn obstacles into opportunities. That's why today's conversation with Kristen Such, spiritual mentor & confidence coach, is going to be madly inspiring for you.
If there is one phrase to perfectly describe Kristen's past year, it is...QUANTUM LEAP. When Sam met Kristen one year ago, she had just faced a dramatic break-up and fell to her absolute lowest. She had just left her corporate job the previous year and now felt like she had nothing to show for it. In her own words, she went from "miserable corporate girly, to broke (and heart-broken) entrepreneur, to now multiple six-figure coach!"
In just one year, her energy and her life have completely transformed...what changed? Kristen owes it all to the inner work that her 'rock bottom' pushed her to do.
What this conversation illuminated was that it wasn't despite these challenges that she learned how to heal and thrive again...it was BECAUSE of them. This heart-led discussion will move you to appreciate your own biggest challenges as the hidden gifts they really are - the portals to your ascension. Like us, Kristen wholeheartedly believes that you are always just one thought away from a completely different reality - and her life is the proof.
If you are at a perceived rock bottom right now or feeling like you might be in your flop era, this episode is going to change the way you look at your reality for the better. This is also perfect for you if you have been wanting to better understand how to change your core beliefs and heal your inner child.
Highlights:
- What the SOUL wants vs. what the EGO wants
- How to find security within yourself (the only security there is!)
- How to actually heal your inner child
- The Fear of Being Seen + What to do about it
- Core beliefs + How they shape your reality (and how to change them!)
- Why your business isn't growing
- Kristen's approach to shadow work

Book mentioned on shadow work:
If meditation isn't your thing yet you still feel burnt out, behind, anxious and overworked...this conversation just might change your mind! When most of us think of meditation, we think we have to do it "right" by sitting cross legged, eyes closed, with a straight back and zen music in the background. But meditation is not experienced in this one limited way and is not a 'One Size Fits All' experience! Instead of writing off meditation all together, guest Ann Swanson suggests different meditations for varying situations, even beginning with just ONE minute.
Watch this episode on YouTube:
Ann Swanson is the author of the internationally bestselling book SCIENCE OF YOGA and Meditation for the Real World, which illuminates the fascinating science behind meditation with step-by-step practices to help you find peace in everyday life. Although she's now written books on yoga and meditation, Ann wasn’t a naturally “chill person,” and meditation did not come easy to her. But her journey of overcoming chronic pain and anxiety led her to India to study yoga, to China to explore tai chi, and eventually to earn a Master of Science in Yoga Therapy. Now, Ann blends cutting-edge research with ancient wisdom to bring you realistic techniques that you will feel inspired to practice whether it's for reducing anxiety or manifesting your dreams!
Ann even explains how meditation quite literally changes your neural pathways, making it more likely to manifest your desires...which is exactly how she manifested her very first book deal with absolutely NO following or connections to the publishing world!
Highlights:
-How even one-minute meditations can make a difference
-Breaking down the Harvard research explaining constant mind wandering + how our happiness may depend on the ability to pay attention to the present moment
-Where science and tradition converge: groundbreaking research on gratitude and compassion practices that'll make you commit to practice
-Why most fail at developing a consistent meditation practice + how to stick with it for a lifetime of benefits
-How to use meditation for manifestation!

Spiralers, we're giving you a bird's eye view into our conscious friendship today and sharing the key ingredients we've identified for creating a truly harmonious relationship. After years of doing joint shadow work, looking at our own wounds, and validating each other probably a million times…we have become crystal clear on what helps us maintain loving awareness and consciousness in the face of our shadows or more reactive parts.
Watch this episode on YouTube:
It is our shared belief that any person can develop these skills and improve their relationships but for long-term happiness and longevity, both parties will have to face their own internal dynamics in order to prevent continuous projecting or blaming of their friend or partner.
If you are someone who is looking to call in a more conscious friendship (or partner!), this conversation is for you.
This conversation is ALSO for you if you are in a friendship right now that is suffering from defensiveness, people pleasing, emotional non-safety, and attachment. We share how we believe these types of dynamics and patterns have a chance at reformation.
At the end of the day, a conscious relationship requires a conscious YOU. This episode will help you identify how to relate to others (and yourself) with more curiosity, awareness and love.
Highlights:
-The recipe for a conscious friendship
-How to validate someone’s needs and emotions WITHOUT agreeing with them
-The blocks that prevent conscious communication
-How relationships become “toxic” over time
-How to do the work around JEALOUSY, SHAME, or INSECURITY in friendships
-How CONFLICT actually can lead to connection

We asked our community what more they wanted to hear from us and many of you said you wanted a personal Q+A...so consider your manifestation unlocked! In this cheeky episode, we answer easy to hard questions that invoke unexpected answers, and of course, weave in our own spiritual insights.
Watch this episode on YouTube:
The greatest joy of this podcast is that we get to be fully ourselves while helping the collective expand their awareness, learn new ways of being, and ultimately, feel more joy.
We hope you laugh along with us in this one and remember that laughing is potent medicine too. There is a time and place for deep, shadowy work...tears...surrender...and letting go. And there is also the invitation to ease up, live a little, and laugh a lot :)
If you enjoy these casual conversations, let us know in the free community and share with us what questions you would like to hear us answer!

Michael Amster, MD is a physician and awe researcher and teacher at the UC Berkeley Greater Good Science Center. With twenty years as a pain management specialist, he is currently the founding director of the pain management department at Santa Cruz Community Health. He shares his journey of discovering awe through mindfulness and meditation practices. Michael explains the AWE method, which stands for Attention, Wait, and Expand, and how it can be used to experience awe in everyday moments. In this conversation, we actually get to experience it first-hand and if you are someone who never has time to breathe or meditate, this is one of the shortest AND most effective practices that we have both integrated into our lives.
Michael also discusses the different levels of consciousness, the markers of each, and how our bodies physiologically change between each state. Most of us live and function from “safety consciousness,” which is characterized by anxiety, worry and doubt. Just by practicing the AWE method even once a day can help you access the benefits of the other states of consciousness - heart and spacious consciousness.
By accessing the energetic state of awe in just a few short breaths, we can experience improved mental, emotional, and physical health. This dialogue allows you to consider that what you really desire from the external world is actually an altered internal state, which is available to you right in this moment.
Highlights:
-Awe is an emotional experience in which we sense being in the presence of something that transcends our normal perception of the world.
-Awe has the power to lower inflammation, reduce depression and anxiety, and improve overall health. Accessing heart and awe consciousness can enhance our daily lives and improve our relationships, work, and overall well-being.
-Shifting from safety consciousness to a state of awe and spaciousness can bring about positive changes in our lives.
-Awe is contagious and can inspire awe in others when shared.
-Awe is accessible in everyday experiences and can be practiced with the Awe Method.
-Practicing awe can lead to a heightened shift in consciousness and contribute to positive change in the world.

You asked, we delivered! We can't tell you how many times we've been asked what to do about toxic relationships and how to know if you're experiencing one. In this episode, we share our own personal definitions of "toxic" and it may or may not be what you think! While it seems easy to point out the toxicity in others' behavior, it's a lot harder to point it out within ourselves. So we took this opportunity to share our personal stories and explain that toxic behavior is a combination of characteristics (rather than a character flaw) that play out in relational dynamics, most easily distinguished by defensiveness, blame, and control.
Watch this episode on YouTube:
However, not every single person who displays this behavior is a "toxic" person if they are aware and willing to confront their own patterns and vulnerably express their needs. Because in reality, ALL humans can become defensive, point the finger and become controlling; but getting curious about those behaviors rather than blaming others for them is the antidote to the "toxicity" so many are used to. And the good news? Expressing curiosity and vulnerability are skills that can be learned in any relational dynamic that seeks to foster trust. That means that a relationship that has gone sideways can (with trust and emotional safety) be brought back to balance...but it's also how relationships you think that could never change, well, do.
So if you are engaging in a "toxic" dynamic right now or know someone who is, this conversation will help you understand the root of that toxicity and the actionable solutions you can take responsibility for in an effort to create more connection and clarity in your personal relationships.

WOOOOOO….Spiralers! This conversation WENT THERE. We were absolutely blown open by Christopher’s inspiring journey and awareness. His insights took us to places in both our bodies and minds that we had never gone before and we know you are going to be mind blown, too.
In this conversation, Christopher Maher shares his healing journey starting from his stint as a US Navy SEAL to today as a wellness pioneer. Chris explains how his intense military training and childhood trauma led to physical and emotional imbalances in his body that became impossible to ignore.
Through his exploration of traditional Chinese medicine and other healing modalities, Chris began to understand the importance of listening to the body's messages and addressing the root causes of stress (and the years long accumulation of it). He emphasizes the need to move away from Western medicine for himself and embrace a holistic approach to healing that would not only manage stressors but resolve them.
Christopher introduces us to his coined term “strauma,” which is the accumulation of stress over time that becomes trauma. Many of us don’t think of trauma when we consider stress; we often think of horror-filled stories but “strauma” is a type of trauma every human in our society deals with. And while that is true, we are using daily stress management tools to address issues that began within the womb and even long before that with our ancestors.
To address our lifetime accumulated stress, which lives in our bodies and therefore is experienced in our outer lives…Chris suggests that we must resolve stress at different levels of consciousness and use particular modalities to target the different bodies we all have: Physical, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual. (Think of “body” in this sense as a collection of energy rather than your arms and legs!)
In addition to learning about how stress over time can traumatize the body, you will also learn mind-tickling facts about resentment affects certain organs and determines our behaviour. So much of what Chris had to say truly blew our minds and we were able to connect back to a truth we already knew but on an even deeper level with respect to generational healing - That we are here to break the cycle and welcome a more conscious, loving world.
Highlights:
-The difference between stress management & stress resolution
How stress not only impacts our bodies through daily stressors but can accumulate over time and turn into trauma, affecting every human on the planet
Resolving lifetime accumulated stress by addressing the different levels of consciousness and energetic bodies including the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies
Why we constantly project ourselves into the future and experience anxiety and racing thoughts
-How emotions like resentment can be related to the receptive and blocked energies within our organ system
- How our cells carry the resonance and data from our ancestors’ trauma that is passed down through generations (AND how healing our own cells directly and spontaneously impacts the generations behind and ahead of us)

Ah, decision fatigue…anxiety…worry…regret!!! All of these are commonly experienced emotions when it comes to finalizing a choice in our lives, whether that be to leave a relationship, change jobs, move cities, or even decide what to wear.
Watch this episode on YouTube:
https://youtu.be/9E48mFbhCZs?si=eCReZ-BPMzCeNOOa
We treat decisions as if they have the power to give us heaven or hell, and so we suspend ourselves in limbo racking our brains until we finally choose the “right” one, feeling guilt and doubt along the way. We ask our friends, parents, coworkers, and even our own PAST selves for advice…everyone except our own true selves in the present moment about what we truly want.
But what if we told you making decisions didn’t have to feel that way? What if making a decision was an opportunity to question your socialization AND own your truth.
In this radically honest conversation, we share some of the hardest decisions we have had to make, including Gina’s 3 year long dilemma to not have another baby along with the mental framework that we applied to help us experience more clarity, ease and trust in making those choices.
We share candidly how hard it used to be to make decisions because of what we used to make certain decisions mean about ourselves:
“If I do X, then they’ll judge me.”
“If I don’t do X, then I’ll feel guilty.”
Unfortunately, most of are trying to make decisions that will help us avoid emotional pain and if that’s our criteria for decision making…we might end up making choices that don’t serve us in the long run. By the end of this conversation, you will have a better understanding of what holds you back from making decisions and how to know if you’re making the “right” one for you.
Highlights:
-Having to make decisions is an opportunity to question what assumptions you’re making about the outcomes of such decision
-Gina shares her journey around the ultimate decision to not have a second baby (this will be helpful even if you don’t have children or already have more than one!)
-How to know if making the decision to leave a relationship or career will serve you
-Sam and Gina both share the decision and thought process preceding their decision to leave their real estate careers and go ALL IN
-Questioning the paradigm that creates a bind where we are trying to make decisions that will somehow be completely painless

For the very first time on the Spiraling Higher Pod, we invited a guest to come back for round 2! Laurie Anne Briere, a practitioner, Transforming Touch therapist and breathwork facilitator who specializes in early trauma resolution returned to the pod to share her expertise on Neo-natal psychology and discuss the impact of early childhood experiences on our sense of safety and well-being as adults. We had a fascinating conversation around consciousness beginning before birth and how babies create memories, even if they are implicit and non-narrative.
This heart-led conversation explores the importance of feeling safe in our bodies and how early trauma can disrupt the ability to find that felt sense of okay-ness. Together we expressed a deep compassion for how tough simple daily living can be for someone in a body that experienced early traumatic memories or experiences for which they will never have words or narratives for given that they occurred before our mental capacities developed.
Whether you are aware of such possible early childhood or pre-natal experiences, Laurie Anne offers us hope that we can, at any time, learn how to become a secure base for our own selves and others and create a sense of safety again, no matter how unsafe or confusing we have felt in the past.
After listening to this conversation, you will feel an unexpectedly enormous well of compassion for why you and others may react and cope in the often hurtful ways we do. And although there may have been early experiences out of our control that negatively impacted us, the power is in our hands to expand the capacity for discomfort and create a safe world within ourselves.

Correct us if we're wrong, but in the almost 2 years that we've been recording...we haven't had the chance to really wind back the clock and talk about what led us here - the trials, tribulations, and turning points on our path that catalyzed our growth and inward journey. It's never lost on us that purpose is borne out of pain and that the hardest experiences of our life are what always lead us back home to ourselves. We know that this isn't true just for us, but anyone who is walking a healing, spiritual path is someone who has faced darkness. Without those experiences, we would not know the light.
Watch this episode on YouTube here:
So grab a cup of tea, get comfy and join us for this storytime session where we reflect back on our past and the catalysts that initially contracted but then later expanded our consciousness. This conversation is equal parts funny and reflective and we are just so grateful to all of the past versions of ourselves for carrying us into this now moment and to you, our listeners, for giving that pain purpose.
After all, it was these very experiences that brought us to doing the work we do now and the creation of spaces for healing and conscious dialogue that we wish we once had.
If you're new around here, we are coaches that specialize in mindset, breathwork, and somatics to help you stop living in survival and finally embody the life you dream of.
Our 6 month coaching mastermind is the only offering where you get to work with both of us 1:1, in groups, and at in-person retreats. It's immersive, it's transformative, and it's the beginning of the rest of your life.
Soon, we'll be sharing a few of our past clients' testimonials but for now, DOORS ARE OPEN again for enrolment and we have limited spots remaining. If our stories have captured you, and you feel like you are ready to walk through the portal of self compassion and transformation, don't hesitate. Future you is waiting, now is all we got :)

Finally, all of your HUMAN DESIGN questions answered!!! In today’s episode, we invited Holly Herbig to explain the basics of human design to help you better understand your unique energy type and how to live in alignment with your true selves.
Holly explains how human design focuses on individuality and uniqueness, unlike other systems that emphasize homogenization or “sameness”. She deep dives into the characteristics and strategies of each energy type, including generators, manifesting generators, projectors, and manifestors. This conversation is aimed to help you experience more fulfilment and satisfaction in life by allowing you to see where you may have fallen out of alignment with your energy archetype due to social conditioning. When we are trained our whole lives to energetically respond in a certain way, realizing your own unique energy type can be confronting, deep work but necessary to heal any nervous system dysregulation.
(For example, projectors like Sam will feel burnt out after even just 4-5 hours of work!)
We also ask Holly to share the significance of ‘profile’ in human design for those who want to go a little deeper than knowing their type and how it can affect your relationships, decision-making, and business.
We’re so excited for you to learn more about Human Design because this conversation helped us really solidify that what our intuition has been telling us is actually true, and that when we live in alignment with our energy, we experience more ease, trust, and manifestations.

Listen to the 'Hunting For Purpose' Podcast
Giving our listeners the crossover they didn't know they needed! We invited Kela Rose, the fantastic host of the Skinny Dipping Podcast, to have an authentic, roundtable discussion on what we're all moving through, the patterns we're shifting, and learning how to deeply trust ourselves in each moment. If you are looking for a warm hug, a spiritual bestie to hear and validate your experiences, this conversation feels like that friend.
Kela shares that she's going through a pretty large, confusing life transition that brings up a series of self-defeating questions that hosts Sam and Gina offer a loving lens to look at them through. This conversation will naturally make you pause to wonder what kind of questions you are constantly asking yourself. Are you asking yourself, "What am I supposed to do?" "What's wrong with me?" We chat about how these type of questions indicate that you're locked into a paradigm where you create fear and paralysis over an imagined "wrong" decision or constantly bring attention to what you perceive to be wrong or "bad” about yourself. This can often lead to attempts at overcorrection, which only leads straight back to the same patterns we are trying to heal. Healing is going slow, feeling curious, and invites us to release the force and tension we keep using to manage ourselves.
Something else we also discuss in this conversation is being identified with being the "problem solver," and how this identity actually perpetuates the creation and existence of problems. If we are always feeling tied to solving something, and getting a hit of worth or dopamine through it, then we naturally and unconsciously have to continue creating problems and chaos to feel those rewards. Lastly, we dive into flow state, why it feels so good, and how to live from it rather than chasing it.
In this episode, you'll also hear us reference our previous conversation on her podcast which was all about detoxing from the hustle culture and stress/adrenaline addiction. It was life-changing for people! You can listen to that convo here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1mtkDo7XKyRbZnX6u2KDwC?si=95f7b063d8014db6
Highlights:
-Fear of making the "wrong" decision + How to dissolve this fear
-Flow State + WHY it feels so good
-Being addicted to problem solving + How it attracts MORE problems
-Awareness does not automatically lead to change
-Spirituality should not be used as a mask for ego; true growth comes from embracing our humanity
-Interdependence vs independence

We have all heard the phrase, "You are what you eat." After today's episode, those five words will resonate in a deeper way than ever before. If you are someone who has ever suffered from disordered eating, obsession with diet, or hyperfixation on your physical appearance...this conversation will radically shift the way you view food and help you heal your relationship to it to experience more energetic vitality and sustainable wellness in your life.
To better understand how our nutrition, or lack thereof, affects the body's internal stress levels, energy output, and mental health symptoms...we invited Kymber Maulden, a nutrition consultant and women's health coach, onto the pod.
From the age of 15, Kymber experienced both mental and physical symptoms that were signs of deeper, complex trauma and the flawed social ideals of what a woman is "supposed to" look like from the 90s. Like most people, she went the medical route and was given diagnosis after diagnosis and was prescribed medications to dissolve her symptoms, further disguising the rooted cause. This led her on a winding journey in and out of different diet camps, such as raw veganism, and eventually back to her own intuition.
By studying neuro-somatics, nutrition, Internal Family Systems (parts work) and complex developmental trauma, she realized that refining lifestyle choices for peak women's health often goes against the grain of many commonly accepted male-centric beliefs around food, fasting, exercise and energy. Through both her own personal healing work and the professional work she's done with hundreds of women over the past few years, she's come to view everything in health and behavior through the lens of nervous system functions.
Nutritionally, she works within the growing niche often referred to as "prometabolic or bioenergetic," which places great emphasis on the impact of stress, in all forms, on the function of our cells' ability to produce energy. Disruptions in the ability of our cells to produce adequate energy to meet the energy demands of our modern lives is at the root of all chronic symptoms and illnesses, making metabolism a central focus within this niche. Tying in the effect of nervous system dysregulation and trauma within this approach to nutrition has provided Kymber with an insatiable desire to explore the intersection of nutritional and somatic healing.
Highlights:
-The interconnected link between nutrition, somatic healing, trauma, and wellness with respect to women's health
-Physiological stress and how it hurts the body
-Complex trauma, which often stems from environmental failure during childhood, can impact nervous system regulation and contribute to chronic illness
-How under-eating can have negative effects on mental health and overall wellbeing
-The male-centric approach to health and fitness and how it often overlooks the unique needs of women's bodies
-Embracing the theme of moving slowly and creating a safe space to rest

SPIRALERS, WE ARE BACK FOR SEASON 3! We have some SUPER special growth moments to celebrate with you today in addition to all of the upcoming new episodes. First off, we are now recording IN STUDIO!!! This has been a manifestation in the making since we began and we are so unbelievably honored and grateful to be growing alongside you and spiraling higher to new realities. It was only less than 2 years ago that we bought the second cheapest mics on amazon to being here now, with you, in the studio continuing on our heart-led mission to bring you conscious conversations that transform your perspective.
Watch this episode here on YouTube:
In our comeback episode, after a much deserved nervous system demanded break, we chat about what it really means to even live up to your "FULL" potential and how chasing your potential is a lack-drenched pursuit. We talk openly about how our "old selves" would have perceived or judged our progress as "slow" or "behind," but in this new season of valuing our bodies over our insatiable egoic minds, we see this new pace as a win rather than a loss. Of course, the old selves only cared about speed and production; they frankly did not care about being present with ourselves because to do so, they'd have to slow down!
So while we might appear to be moving slowly, we are moving at the speed of a newfound trust that allows us to prioritize our needs over our wants. We are no longer normalizing the experience of burnout but being proactive in our efforts to increase the longevity and the quality of our lives. We want to be here for a long time, not a short time, and the only way to ensure that is to continue taking care of ourselves with love. THAT is healing <3

First of all, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to our listeners for tuning in, doing the inner work, and making us your top podcast in 2023! When we started out last year, we promised each other that no matter how little or how many people cared or listened, that we would promise ourselves to never lose our hope, our creativity, and desire to serve humanity. Because we trusted ourselves, we attracted you!!! We feel an overwhelming amount of gratitude to every person who has trusted us to help them see their patterns, become more conscious, and release their fears.
Season 1 was about looking at our darkness and what needs more love while Season 2 was about removing the obstacles to true peace. What keeps us from feeling truly content or happy? What prevents us from fully being our true selves? What stops us from doing the things we KNOW we want to do...but don't feel like we are ready or deserve to?
If you've been listening along for a while or here for the first time, this episode will either remind or teach you about the gifts of presence, patience, and perspective. What we all really want, we already have...and once you can tune into that, abundance is yours.

True abundance is not the accumulation of money. Abundance is a frequency and state of being - not a destination!
Yet so many of us spend all of our energy chasing money and trying to leave the present moment in order to get somewhere better. We keep trying to approach an illusory time in the future where we are happier and more worthy than we are now. What this does though is reinforce the belief that money itself has the power to give us happiness, joy and self-worth. We confuse money with abundance and think that becoming abundant happens by becoming "rich."
Understanding the key difference between 'Abundance' and 'Money' for us has been paramount. We become "rich" when we first recognize and embody the richness already within us. We don't chase money thinking that it will make us richer, we become rich internally and then money chases us. This is a complete paradigm shift!
If you are looking to master the energetics of money and finally become its master...we have a super special limited opportunity for you.
Between 11/17 - 11/27, you can download the "Wealthy Woman Bundle" which is a collaboration between us and 55 other financial content creators and wealth advisors to offer you access to 62 different courses and guides about all things money & business.

Almost all of us are familiar with budgeting our money and our time...but what about our energy? Most of are counting our dollars and trying to make the best use of our hours, but in doing so, we are falling into an energetic deficit.
In today's episode, we share some personal details about how we've transitioned from budgeting our time to budgeting our energy. For years, we both had a strict timeline and to-do list that attempted to ensure we would be the most productive, unconsciously putting ourselves into energetic debt over and over again. At a certain point...we had to ask ourselves, "Why?"
Most physiological cues are considered positive, and thankfully, we know when we need to eat or use the bathroom. Yet the physiological signs of being overworked and tired are not met with the same self-caretaking behavior. Most of the time, these cues are met with internalized narratives about how "bad" and "lazy" we are. This conditioning has resulted in us shaming ourselves out of receiving the very thing we so need.
It's unfortunate that we don't see rest as either neutral or positive in our fast-paced, Capitalist culture. Rest has been demonized as the idle threat to our precious productivity. We wear badges of fatigue and show off how much we've done rather than caring about how we truly feel. But for us? It's no longer of utmost importance to be "productive" (we've unlinked productivity from our self-worth!), it's more valuable to be truly well. And in order to become well, we had to rest.
True abundance, to us, is knowing that we have more than enough time to do all the things we desire AND having enough energy to do them.

Ashley Nelson became a two-time widow before the age of 35. She also said “goodbye” to ten other relatives and friends in between those drastic losses. These deaths, alongside her 10-year career in the health and death-care industry, gave her deep insight into life after loss that led to her becoming a certified grief specialist. Today, Ashley leads ‘Learning About Grief’ - an organization that offers loss-specific groups, one-to-one private grief sessions, and free education to over 25,000 people from 50+ countries.
In today’s episode we ask her about the stages of grief and how to move through them, as well as support people going through them. She sheds light on the research that led to the well-known ‘5 Stages of Grief,’ but shares that these stages were well-documented only with respect to those who were dying. However, we know that grief not only affects the dying but the ones who have survived their death.
If the colloquially known 5 Stages of Grief have never resonated with you as a person who has lost a loved one, and experience them more in waves, this conversation will leave you feeling more seen and heard.
Carrying grief is human, and you are exactly where you are meant to be.
No matter what season of grief you are in, or even if you have never lost a loved but want to support those that have, this conversation will help you ease pain and feel more connected.
Episode highlights:
-The 5 Stages of Grief (what it gets right + what it gets wrong)
-Celebrating someone’s life while simultaneously grieving them
-Why we resist the ‘acceptance’ phase for so long
-Comparing your grief or attempting to justify it
-The guilt of joy (Survivor’s Guilt) experienced after losing loved one
-Finding a new identity after loss

Have you ever got caught in a spiral of comparing your suffering to another person's? Or feeling bad that someone else is suffering and you're not? We've noticed this theme within ourselves, and of course, in the outer reality and it makes us wonder...who is this helping?
Who does it serve to compare our suffering or anyone else's suffering against anothers? By comparing, judging, or feeling guilt around our suffering...we do not alleviate any of the suffering the world experiences. What we've realized through our own lives and this candid conversation is that comparing suffering only adds to and creates more suffering. When we remember what is within our control, exercise self care and preservation, we can then show up more fully to other people's pain and support them instead of carrying their pain.
This episode will challenge the unconscious idea that many of us perpetuate, which is that through suffering...we become "good."
If you love this episode and want to chat with us and our high vibe community about how you've been comparing suffering or feeling overwhelmed by the helplessness you've been experiencing...join the free Spiraling Higher Community.

Dr. Kim D’Eramo is a physician, Bestselling Author of the MindBody Toolkit, and Founder of the American Institute of Mind Body Medicine. She has assisted MILLIONS of people self-heal and resolve chronic disease and illness. After an awakening experience at age 16, Kim became fascinated with MindBody Medicine and Spirituality, and began studying them passionately. She had the awareness that she was here to be a physician to share the truth that our thoughts create our reality and that our emotions directly affect our cells and how our bodies can heal from within.
During medical school, she developed a strange illness with severe joint & back pain, headaches, weight gain, aches and chills all over, and severely low energy. When she sought help from the medical world, she was repeatedly told “nothing was wrong” or she was prescribed antidepressants until finally, she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder.
Most people would stop there; but not Kim. She challenged the doctors' perspectives and decided to investigate her own awareness about what was needed. She realized that medicine could only take her so far and that her energy field and consciousness was the missing element. Magically, by following her own inner wisdom, the illness resolved within days.
Highlights:
-Personality types that attract chronic disease symptoms and perpetuate it
-How surrender and healing are interconnected
-The perfect "host" for an illness like Lyme Disease
-Developing a deep compassion for where someone is at with their pain
-The one true disease we all have
-How to help someone in "victim" mode and identified with their pain

Today's episode introduces an Astrology LEGEND, Debra Silverman. Getting to chat with Debra was a literal manifestation of ours, as she was a "Dream Guest" on our initially penned list of "People to manifest onto the pod!" She is a master at communicating the patterned cycles and geometry of the planets and stars, and has given both of us such an illuminating language to better understand ourselves and others.
Debra is a professional astrologer, psychotherapist, and spiritual guide who is here to bring hope to those experiencing collective pain. With a climate crisis standing in the foreground, she brings her wisdom of the elements and astrology to the table to uncover solutions for our times. She is the author of The Missing Element: Inspiring Compassion for the Human Condition, and is founder of a school that has trained more than 4,000 people in astrology. While there is no “one size fits all” approach, Debra Silverman has developed a unique psychological-spiritual model that seeks to bring individuals more peace and into alignment with their highest potential.
In this episode, Debra explains why she believes astrology should be utilized by parents to better understand their children, and answers the question of many: Does the knowledge of your chart take away your free will?
If you are a skeptic, we invite you to open the walls of your mind and take solace in the fact that all 3 of us were once skeptics as well. Having now integrated the language and tool that is astrology, we often find ourselves exclaiming, "You can't make this stuff up!" Astrology is an undeniable, dependable healing balm for society as we face the ebbs and flows of life and learn through "mistakes" throughout our human experience.
So whether you are seeking your purpose right now or are struggling to understand why you behave in certain ways, Astrology and this conversation will introduce you to the wildly, unique matrix that makes you...you! Expect to be filled with wonder, curiosity, and self-compassion after this.

It's so ironic that humans resist vulnerability and being honest about our doubts and insecurities when in reality, it is actually through the admission and acceptance of these that we create a bridge to deeper, meaningful connection.
For most of Bryce's life, he was selectively mute. He shares that he would experience days in a row without every speaking due to a paralyzing fear of being seen and judged. Hearing his story truly stunned us because as many of you will likely know, Bryce is well-known for using his voice to create relationship and self healing content to a whopping 800,000 followers.
Bryce Spencer-Jones is now a speaker, content creator, and podcaster who turned his social anxiety into an audience dedicated to bettering their own lives through healing. Through vulnerability, honesty, and self-reflection, Bryce uses his voice to share the lessons he's learned throughout his own life so far and inspire others to live a life where they can lead with self-confidence and by grounding deeper into themselves.
His story serves to show people that who you believe yourself to be now does not have to be the version of yourself that you embody forever. We all have parts of ourselves that are longing to be expressed and when we challenge ourselves to meet those parts, we develop more confidence. To Bryce, confidence isn't about being good at things or becoming the 'best' version of himself but instead it is simply giving himself full permission to like and accept himself.

50 EPISODES OF SPIRALING HIGHER TODAY!!! We are SO grateful to every single one of our listeners for being here to listen, heal, and spiral higher with us. Every episode is marinated with love and the intention that you will feel more seen, understood, and aligned after listening.
In honor of our 50th episode, we thought we'd give a shoutout to our little friend PROCRASTINATION. Now having recorded almost religiously for a year, we wanted to address the backstory behind the podcast, how long it REALLY took us to get here, and what kept us from doing it earlier. We honor every step of our journey but wanted to be transparent about our own procrastinating habits, and ultimately, release the shame around them.
When we procrastinate, we are not lazy...we are scared. Yet every time we do it, we beat ourselves up and repeat the cycle. At the end of the day, procrastination tries to protect us from disappointment but in doing so creates disappointment! We hope after this episode, you are able to make friends with procrastination and feel safer to make mistakes, try again, and keep going.
If you love this episode and want to chat with us and our high vibe community about all things procrastination and to feel SEEN...join the free Spiraling Higher Community.
We host FREE connection calls inside every month for our community...and the next one is on September 24, 2023 at 10-11AM PST. See you there!

In today's raw episode, we chat with Jana Wilson about her healing from an abusive childhood to becoming a spiritual teacher. Jana is an emotional healing educator, meditation teacher, retreat leader, public speaker, hypnotherapist, and founder of the Emotional Healing System.
We candidly discussed the power of taking responsibility over your own emotions, how to heal from co-dependency and what it takes to truly be in a healthy co-committed relationship. Jana also explained the steps to identifying and owning your shadow to eventually embracing its qualities to live a more fully embodied life.
She recently released her memoir Wise Little One: Learning to Love and Listen to My Inner Child. In the memoir, she takes us on a deeply personal journey of triumph over childhood trauma and the transformative power of connecting with one's inner child.
Highlights:
- Moving from the VICTIM of your reality to the HERO of your life
- How co-dependency and people pleasing develops
- Who is the 'inner child' & how do you meet them?
- How to deal with partners & friends at different levels of consciousness
- Re-parenting yourself to experience more safety
- How to identify and work with your own shadow

Between Sam and Gina, a commonly repeated phrase as they spiral higher is "Never waste a good trigger." Triggers are sacred teachers and deeper signs of the unconscious beliefs and stories we hold within us. When we are triggered, it's an opportunity to get CURIOUS rather than shame ourselves for our reaction...which only fuels the same cycle.
In this authentic conversation, the hosts share their most recent triggering experience and how it revealed a pattern of wounding that still needed to be understood, held and accepted with love. The reason why so many of our triggers continue to come up is because we don't pause to listen to what they need from us. If we listen in and get curious, we'll find out that our triggers have more to say about our needs and shadows that can help us integrate and embody more love on our spiritual journey.
Don't forget to share about your experiences in the FREE Spiraling Higher community. Our next free Connection Call is on Aug 27, 2023 at 10a.m. PST. You can mark your attendance from inside the community...see you there!

On the healing journey, we are familiar with the feeling of suppressing pain...but have you come face to face with repressing your light? In today's incredible conversation with the one and only Xavier Dagba, we explore common themes and archetypes such as the 'Villain' and the 'Fool' on our path to expansion as we learn to embody more light.
Xavier also shares vulnerably about his initial "dark night of the ego" before he claimed his gifts and intuitive power to heal. He does not shy away from telling the stories of disappointing his parents, dropping out of school (when he had a full scholarship!), and even becoming homeless.
Looking back, he says ALL of this was absolutely necessary for him to alchemize his pain into light. As the days grew harder and 3D world problems like money & housing came in...he was urged to "trust just one more day." He also shares infinite wisdom about what the journey of acknowledging your light and no longer deciding to repress it anymore feels like. He likens this to "stepping out of the spiritual closet" and no longer having an "affair" with your light and your purpose.
If you are someone who is challenging old systems and ways of being that no longer serve you anymore, you MUST listen to this.
And if you are making aligned decisons that feel like sh!t...you are in just the right place.
Episode Highlights:
- Dark Night of the Ego / Soul
- The Emergence and Purpose of "Shadow" Careers
- Coming Out of the "Spiritual Closet"
- Becoming the "Villain" in Someone Else's Story (+ Learning to Accept It)
- What It Feels Like to Begin Integrating More Light
- Discerning Between The Voices of Ego vs. Spirit
- Embracing the Archetype of "The Fool" As We Step Into New Versions of Ourselves

So many of our listeners and clients have often asked us, "How did you do it? How did you create your dream life?" The short answer is: By releasing everything that was keeping us from it.
This episode dives into how we began on the journey of expansion, the investments we made in ourselves, and what actually moved the needle forward after spending over half a million dollars on personal and spiritual development.
Reflecting on this has been so beautiful for us because it's easy to forget how much work we've done to be able to say with truth, "I am living my dream life." For years before we began healing together in friendship, we tried every additive process that you can think of. Reading every book, trying every manifestation method, and fearfully trying to control the process. Our attempts at manifestation back then were rooted in lack and it was only when we began to truthfully look in the mirror at ourselves and acknowledge the scarcity mindset and limits we picked up from our conditioning that we could begin to actively re-write them.
The journey of becoming our most radically loving, "best" selves was not through adding things externally but was through releasing fear, guilt, shame, and smallness internally. The journey was an INSIDE-OUT process. It was in challenging every thought we ever believed about ourselves until finally we realized that we had the power and consciousness to CHOOSE who we want to become, rather than being puppets to a system that wasn't serving us.
At the end of the episode, we share for the very time that we are finally putting together EVERYTHING we have learned into an immersive, 6 month mastermind for you fellow "cycle-breakers." The ones who are here to end the intergenerational patterns of fear and guilt to unleash your fullest potential and call in a bigger life, a life led by purpose. This is "The Unlayered Self." You can learn more and apply with the link below!
Episode Highlights:
-How much $$$ we spent on personal and spiritual development
-What we had to realize about money on the journey to abundance
-How we ACTUALLY starting embodying the “best” version of ourselves
-Everything we had to release to stop playing small and start attracting our dreams
-Taking on the role of the becoming the cycle breaker in your family
-Spilling the tea on a huge announcement and exciting opportunity to work with us!

Are you constantly feeling high-strung and like there’s never enough time to do anything? Or perhaps you’re the opposite and feel totally paralyzed and have absolutely no energy or motivation to do anything at all? The good news is that you are not crazy OR lazy…you’ve become dysregulated.
Andrea Freemyer, a neuroscientist, trauma informed breathwork facilitator, and embodiment guide came onto the pod to talk about all things nervous system and offer her personal story and insights to help us better understand what is happening within the body when we become overwhelmed and distressed in our daily lives.
We specifically dive into the captivating realms of the sympathetic and dorsal vagus states, which we mostly identify as ‘anxiety’ and ‘depression.’ Within these states, the logical faculties of our brains can falter, leaving us tethered solely to the emotional and fear-based aspects of our being. Understanding this connection becomes an indispensable tool for navigating our mental and emotional landscapes, paving the way towards greater well-being.
Episode Highlights:
[00:00:25] Using breathwork to gain perspective and clarity in life
[00:00:25] Personal experiences of feeling a loss of joy and resistance to encouragement
[00:17:07] The fight or flight response and how we’ve been socialized to identify with it
[00:27:14] Navigating personal crises
[00:31:49] Repatterning the Mind and Embracing Rest
[00:35:19] Understanding the amount of time & compassion required for re-patterning
Quotes to ponder:
"When we are in a state where the logical part of the brain is offline, our thoughts can become dark and colored by the lenses of that state."

How do we create true fulfilment in both our personal and professional lives? Many of us unfortunately sacrifice our personal health for the health and success of our business and/or career. However, what we’ve found is that the most successful businesses (and lives) are those that foster a “win-win” mentality. A “win-win” mentality serves your ideal consumer while also feeding and nurturing your own creative spirit. In this paradigm, one does not sacrifice their health in pursuit of success or take advantage of others to create wealth.
In today’s episode, we dive deeper into this topic with a very special guest who shared her profound insights on finding meaning in work and the importance of embracing a spiritual path both inside and outside of one’s professional life.
Erica Williams is the CEO of Yumy Candy, one of the fastest growing award-winning healthy candy companies in Canada and the USA. As a serial entrepreneur, investor and mentor she believes in cultivating winning products through creating solutions for people. She intends to bridge the gap between spirituality and business by consciously creating companies with a quantum business blueprint.
Episode Highlights:
-Bridging the gap between spirituality and business
-Embracing our feminine energy in a masculine dominant structure
-Creating a life & business in alignment with abundance
-Is aging just a belief?!
Quotes to ponder:
“Entrepreneurship is not just about making money, it's about creating a life that feels good and aligns with your values and authenticity.”
"The key is to create win-win opportunities in business and shift from a mindset of lack to one of abundance and service."

In today's culture, it's "normal" to be ruled by fear. Fear of no money, fear of job loss, fear of people not liking you, fear of things "not working out." All of this fear leads to a build-up of adrenaline in the body to ideally prepare you to fight a perceived threat. But these days, the perceived threats come from our mind rather than the physical world. We are fighting OURSELVES day in and day out and that constant adrenaline pump, although seemingly helpful to hurriedly help us complete our to-do list, has a very expensive cost - BURNOUT.
We are not meant to operate on fear for days, weeks, sometimes years at a time. And so breaking up with the hustle, like any breakup, is not easy. We wanted to normalize that when you choose rest over hustle, or trust over fear, your body won't agree with you right away. Resting will feel like a THREAT to the pattern you've been reinforcing for so long. We hope that this episode encourages you to stay the course as you thaw from years of fearful conditioning and exit the matrix of self-punishment.
Episode Highlights:
-Living in an Unnatural World
-Living in Stress vs. Freedom
-Breaking Free from Default Programming
-Entrepreneurship and Personal Power
Quotes to ponder:
“Change and growth may not always be perfect or linear, but it's essential to break out of our habitual lifestyles."
“Living consciously means observing ourselves and consciously deciding whether to act in alignment with our desires or not."

Healing is not for the faint of heart, nor is it all "love + light." As we heal, we will be asked to revisit shame, guilt, and frustration. However, you also open the portal to passion, power and creativity. We cannot have one without the other. Healing does not ask us to reject the darker parts of us but invites us to integrate them, dance with them and become whole.
As I open the doors again for this powerful container, I felt called to share what really happens when you commit to your next level - and how chaotic and stressful that process can be. My heart is absolutely blown open in this episode as I share the breakthroughs, lessons and powerful transformations I've witnessed over the past 10 weeks with my clients inside of 'Massive Manifestation.'
Is healing easy? No. Is healing worth it? ABSOLUTELY. It's what precedes any manifestation. It's what dissolves scarcity and reveals true abundance. This group of committed, courageous souls have shown me once again the power of community and vulnerability. The power of conscious, intentional inner work.
Doors are now open and spots are limited. We start July 3, 2023. So get in! We're going manifesting. Link below to secure your spot:

In this candid episode, Sam & Gina talk about how their triggers are their biggest teachers.
Every experience is a mirror into what you think and believe about yourself.
Whenever you think you need to control or change the circumstances outside of you, it’s a signal for the healing that must happen INSIDE of you.
Listen in to hear how they moved through their most recent shadow work and how having community is necessary in order for us to wake up from the illusions shrouding the truth.

In this week's episode, Gina shares her recent journey of making some big life decisions. She dives into the common struggle of “analysis paralysis” and going in circles to find a definitive answer.
Gina breaks down how she went from “I don’t know what to do!!” to trusting her intuition.
The funny thing is, we often know what to do, but it’s so foreign to trust ourselves. We get stuck in a cycle of second guessing and we outsource our decision making to others when all of the answers we ever need are already within us.

Self-awareness has been the greatest medicine for us on our journey and today we took an honest look at ourselves, rating attributes from honesty to spontaneity on a scale of 1 to 10. Doing this exercise with complete neutrality (and lots of humor) was an amazing way to uncover both our natural gifts and areas that need more love and attention.
You might be surprised to hear what we think of ourselves and hope it inspires you to take an honest inventory of what you think of your own self. We encourage you to share your thoughts and realizations inside of the free Spiraling Higher Community!

Did you choose your current identity or was it chosen for you? Today we are joined by the incredible Säga who shares her journey of going from “created” to “creator”.
Säga is a Wellness Designer, TikToker, and Speaker. Her mission as a designer is to create and consult on spaces, products and experiences that elevate well-being by integrating elements of innovation, compassion and beauty.
In this expansive conversation, we explore how she went from being deeply depressed to consciously shifting her identity beyond the constructs of ego and the conditioned self.
She shares her belief that every morning is an invitation to create a new identity and we explore with her the vision she has for a “Soul School” - a place that focuses on unlearning where “qualification means personal power and surrender is success."

In this week's episode, Sam and Gina revisit the topic of fear and how their perspectives on it have shifted in the last year. They openly share about the common experience of coming to awareness about one's patterns and then falling into judgment of those very patterns. On the healing journey, this is a phase that becomes all too familiar. While you may be coming into awareness of all that needs "healing," is it your ego or your soul that is addressing those wounds?
The ego often responds with frustration, urgency and judgement. "Ugh...I'm so f*cked up!" This, again?!" "What's wrong with me???" But how would your soul respond? Can you find a loving response to what is painful?
Tune in to hear how the hosts befriended themselves to become the very medicine they always needed.

Nick Zei, author of “10 Secrets of Awakening” and the host of “Universe the Game” podcast brings his exploratory and inquisitive takes on the universe being a game, human design, astrology, the true nature of spirituality, channeling, religion, ‘The Law of One,’ and so much more.
As our newly crowned longest episode to date on the pod, our favourite way to describe this candid conversation is ‘down the rabbit hole.’
At the end of it all, we wonder…”Does any of this matter? What does it even mean to live a truly spiritual life?”
One thing is for sure - a spiritual life does not require spiritual seeking. A spiritual life, no matter how you slice it, is a life deeply connected to love, peace, joy and the acceptance of ‘what is.’ How you get there is up to you!
Let us know what YOU think about these concepts and this episode and if it helped you :)

Everyone's spiritual manifesting big sis and bestie, Haley Hoffman Smith, joined the chat today to talk about how our subconscious minds either work for or against us along our manifestation journey. Although she had already achieved MASSIVE success by rewiring so many old patterns, beliefs, stories and empowered herself through EFT tapping...quite a few people don't know that not too long ago, she was still blocked by a fear of being seen and judged as a SINGER.
Yes, our girl Haley can SING and it was her subconscious blocks that were still in the way of her creating a new path for herself and sharing her passion of singing and songwriting until she was able to get curious and dive back into her past to uncover an old meaning making (a belief) that was stored back in the 5th grade. Healing this memory and re-writing this story completely freed her from the resistance to identifying and acting from her True Self.
Tune into this absolutely electrifying conversation to learn how Haley identified and dissolved the blocks that were keeping her from showing up in even bigger ways and how she learned to tune into her intution and service-guided heart to lead the creation of her manifestations, rather than her ego.

In this short candid monologue, Sam shares a breakthrough with the intention of helping you understand the powerful difference between YOU and your thoughts.
When we believe that every thought we have is true, we suffer immensely. But what if our negative thoughts were just remnants of old programming and have nothing to do with the truth of who we are and what's possible for us?
If we believed we were already worthy and whole...how would our life feel and look?
At the end of this short episode, you will be able to discern which thoughts are coming from the True Self (or Spirit) vs. The Ego.
If this is something you are spiraling through now, make sure to start a dialogue with us inside the free SPIRALING HIGHER COMMUNITY. You can join for free by clicking the link below. Can't wait to see you in there!

We were so incredibly honoured to sit down with Danielle LaPorte in our shared hometown to talk about the ego, living a heart centred life, and ultimately ask, "When is enough self improvement enough?" Danielle is the real deal, no BS, wise and spiritual down to earth guide we have looked up to for years; and finally, she brings her presence and wisdom to the pod.
If you are someone who has struggled with feeling like you are on an endless wheel of self improvement with no actual love or end in sight...you are in the right place. Danielle shares how she once had multiple astrology, shaman-led, and psychotherapy sessions in a week (or in a day!) and how so many of these well-intentioned practices actually kept her from the deep healing she truly needed. One day she realized that the self-help just wasn't helping; and that gave birth to more freedom and more love in her life.
Danielle LaPorte is a member of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100 a group who, in Oprah Winfrey’s words, “is uniquely connecting the world together with a spiritual energy that matters.”
Her most recent book, "How To Be Loving…when your heart is breaking open and the world is waking up" has been our bedside table reading the past few months and now lives alongside her incredible library of written and visual content. Her podcast, With Love, Danielle, often ranks in iTunes’ top 10 for wellness.
Danielle is loved deeply by the spiritual community and Marianne Williamson herself refers to Danielle “as a bright light.”
And in this conversation, we address:
-What is ego and what is its purpose?
-How to befriend and live with ego (not kill it!)
-Why Danielle no longer goes to therapy
-How to discern whether you are taking actions from your "wounded self" vs. "healed self"
-Living from the heart vs. reacting to the mind

In this open-hearted conversation, Sam and Gina authentically share how they address conflict in both their friendship and relationships from a place of consciousness. They highlight the importance of a "win-win" mindset and seek to help you develop tools and awareness to navigate conversations when you are feeling hurt or misunderstood.
The hosts also share their kismet "How we met" story and detail the growth of their conscious friendship to highlight how importance it is to be fully seen by another human.
The POWER of consciousness and community have been the most healing elements of their journeys. After all, healing happens in dialogue while suffering happens in monologue.
Transformation happens when we are mirrored our stories, lies, and false imperfections in a safe environment...which is why they've manifested the SPIRALING HIGHER COMMUNITY!!!

If you’ve ever wondered why you might experience disproportionate emotional reactions to seemingly small events or situations - then you are likely traumatized! So, what is “trauma” and how does it develop? And more importantly, how can we become aware of it and begin to heal it rather than habitually cope with it?
In this conversation, we curiously explore the concept of trauma from a therapist’s perspective and aim to help people understand that trauma is not always directly related to the events that happened to you (although it definitely can be), but rather is the unconscious interpretation of any event that was perceived as “unsafe” to you.
Simone Saunders is a Registered Social Worker and therapist in Calgary, Alberta, as well as the founder of The Cognitive Corner—a group psychological practice that focuses on providing trauma-informed and culturally responsive psychological care and psychoeducation to Albertans and Ontarians. She is also a popular mental health creator with over 350k followers with the intention to normalize mental health struggles and provide accessible psychoeducation.
In addition to exploring what trauma is and how it develops, we also address:
-Boundary setting (and how to do so in cultural contexts that views them as disrespectful!)
-Gaslighting (specifically, ourselves!)
-How to meet your needs
-How relationships both trigger & heal trauma

Healing is not only what happens on a mental level but is largely dictated by what's happening on an emotional and somatic level. If you are someone who has ever struggled with their feelings, felt like they were "too much" or "bad"...this conversation is for you. Laurie Anne Briere shares her experiential wisdom as a somatic practitioner, Transforming Touch therapist, breathwork facilitator, and educator who specializes in early trauma resolution.
This curious conversation seeks to help you understand what the body's responses are telling you and explores why and how we develop certain coping mechanisms as attempts at regulation. Laurie Anne's insights will completely change your perpsective on any "negative" coping habits you've acquired over the years and help you view them through the lens of compassion.
What this conversation ultimately taught us is that "We are always doing the best we can." Our nervous system is what communicates to our bodies and brains whether we are safe or not, and even if those signals don't make sense to our mind...they colour how we feel, think, and interact with ourselves and the world. When we can learn to see these responses as helpful rather than hurtful, we can bring more understanding and compassion to our inner and outer worlds.
A look at topics covered:
-What is somatic work?
- Understanding trauma responses and coping mechanisms
- How to process emotions through the body (not the mind!)
- Emotional regulation
-Why we burnout and resist rest
- The concept of rupture and repair
- The role of the vagus nerve
- How to shift from the sympathetic nervous system state to a parasympathetic (rest & digest) state

"Words don't teach. Experience does." We are SO happy to be back to regular programming, and oh boy, we have so much to share about our integration process. On our journey of expansion, we find that there's often an insatiable seeking of more knowledge. But what really is that knowledge without integration? How do move from thinking to KNOWING?
In this episode, we dive deep into the difference between knowledge and integration and share about the most powerful insights we've taken from both our past guests and our own lives because it's truly not enough to understand something in the mind. True learning is when something is known by and lived through the heart.
We also invite ourselves to thinking of living life as a practice rather than a trial or a race and how this perspective allows us more room to grow through mistakes, gives birth to more compassion, and more ease.
We all understand that rest, silence, emotional release, and self love heals...but can we truly practice what we learn and apply when things feel challenging? When does understanding turn into ""innerstand?"" If you are someone who is always listening to podcast episodes, reading all the books, but not seeing any progress...this is what you need to hear right now.

Whatever you are going through, that beautiful mess is spiritual! In this final episode, we talk about what spirituality really means to us and how seeking control or perfection through it is what can often lead to more suffering. Reflecting on the birth of this podcast until now, we share our favourite moments and guests and authentically share the behind the scenes reality of living a life that attempts to bridge together so many spiritual concepts.
Spirituality does not require perfection...so if you've been seeking perfection through your spiritual practice, or looking to avoid pain, you gotta tune into this one!

Leslie Draffin is a menstrual cycle coach, feminine embodiment mentor and podcast host who is passionate about eradicating shame & fear around women's bodies, cycles and sex. She believes in empowering women to come home to their bodies while embracing their divine, cyclical natures.
This conversation explores why we are so disconnected from our cycles and how deeply conditioned we are to judge, shame, and repress our power and connection to the moon. If you are someone who deals with mood swings or any aggressive cycle symptoms, you'll feel so seen and heard in this conversation where Leslie shares how deeply out of tune she was with her own body and how after quitting hormonal birth control & being diagnosed with PCOS, she was empowered to learn more about her cyclical nature.
Both hosts also vulnerably share their hormonal health journey in hopes that you will feel less alone no matter where you are on your own journey. Nothing is wrong with YOU; it is our present society and cultural programming leading you to believe that you are "wrong" for having a very normal cyclical experience.
By the end of this conversation, you'll better understand:
-The difference between Circadian Rhythm vs. Infradian Rhythm and why it matters
-How our cycle works in phases (you are a dynamic being!)
-Gender bias in medical studies and how that impacts women
-How we lost the connection to our cycle through patricharcal programming
-"Post Pill Syndrome"
-How our conditioned beliefs contribute to the disconnection & confusion around periods
-The history of how the worship of Goddesses was suppressed
-How we can begin to educate and heal ourselves to eventually educate our community and shift the paradigm (starting with our sons & daughters!)

Moonlight Scorpio is a singer, songwriter, and advocate of positive affirmations. You might know her from her hit song "Pretty Girl Magic" which went viral last year and is how the hosts connected with her! She shares how her singing and songwriting journey was a true homecoming. And although she once tried to leave it all behind, her heart’s desire would not go away
This conversation reveals how the Universe is always nudging us toward our higher purpose, no matter how far away we stray, and that perfectionism is not required to create art and be "successful."
True success is creating from the heart so that your art sustains you rather than drains you. When you become addicted to creating for external validation, you and your art suffers.
This conversation also explores:
-Overcoming bullying and fear of other people's opinions to create
authentically
-Honouring personal boundaries
-Toxic relationships & codependency
-The true inclusive nature of spirituality (not all love + light!)
-The channeling spirit of music
If you consider yourself a creative or are wanting to pursue a creative
endeavour, this conversation is for you!

After Sam and Gina both experienced mind-blowing results in working with Cyrus privately, they begged to have him share his wisdom on the pod! In this free-flowing conversation, they address:
-The science behind EFT tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique)
-How everyday stressors without proper release can have a dramatic negative impact on the body + mind
-How to notice and release resistance (and speed up your manifestations!)
-The inextricable connection between manifestations and emotional release work
-How denying your negative feelings is only prolonging your manifestations (say goodbye to toxic positivity!)
-Mindfulness for starters and how to cultivate mental mastery
And at 1:06:10, Cyrus leads a guided tapping meditation to help soothe and release anxiety completely. You will feel completely different after trying it!

New York Times Best Selling author KYLE CEASE has a gift of merging comedy with personal transformation. Before following his soul's calling, Kyle had two #1 Comedy Central specials and was voted #1 on Comedy Central's Stand-Up Showdown. But after getting everything he thought he wanted, he realized his then "dream" career was still a mask for the pain of conditional love.

In this conversation, Sam and Gina are mindblown that their dream guest is finally on the pod and dive into:
-How to feel our emotions without judging
-How to follow your desires or mission without getting attached
-Why we are so addicted to "doing" rather than "being"

-Unlearning the pattern of conditional love
And so much more...You're not going to want to miss this one!

Melissa Ruiz is the founder and visionary of Melissa Ruiz Empowerment, a soulful business coaching powerhouse that mentors mystical off beat entrepreneurs to start & scale their business through a spiritually universal lens.
Before finding her soul's calling, Melissa shares how miserable she was in her seemingly perfect 6 figure TV producer career. From the outside looking in, she had what everyone wanted...until she got fired. What seemed back then like her worst fear coming true was really the gateway to her authentically led life and business.
In just 3 years, she went from teaching free yoga classes and absolutely NO money to growing a thriving soul business that brings in 7 figures with ease and flow. In our conversation, she explains how losing everything helped her find the true strength within her and how she began to listen to her intuition over fear.
Her mission is to empower spiritual entrepreneurs to step into their leadership and pour their knowledge back into their own networks, with a large focus on the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities.

Carrie Bailey is a spiritual entrepreneur, healer, psychic and content creator in Vancouver B.C.
She manifested her soul business ""ZENDEN Meditation"" which is Canada's first drop in studio for sound baths. What was once just a ""crazy"" dream became reality. But before manifesting her dream business and life partner, she had to heal her relationship with alcohol and begin healing her childhood wounds.
This conversation explores intuitive guidance, manifestation, inner child healing, cord cutting, and how she handles her depression.
We love how Carrie breaks the stigma that healers are fully healed as she reminds us that healing is never complete, but we can love the journey we're on.
She currently offers sound baths, breathwork classes, reiki, tarot readings and so much more.

In this fascinating conversation, Sam and Gina go deep with their personal astrologer, Ocean Pleasant, into why she doesn’t “believe” in astrology, how to utilize astrology as a tool of self inquiry rather than confirmation bias, and ultimately, how living in alignment with the truth of who you are brings about the most ease.
Ocean also details her incredible journey that took her from a teenage start-up queen who was recognized in Forbes ‘30 under 30’ to learning her karmic lessons, leaving her seemingly perfect opportunity, and courageously choosing to follow her highest calling. She confesses what has taken her the longest to heal and even dives into Sam & Gina’s charts and synastry (the astrology of relationships!)
If you are someone who wants to know the truth behind astrology, a thousands of years old system, you are in for a treat! Astrology is far more than just your sun sign/horoscope, and Ocean has the most incredible insights Sam & Gina have ever heard about astrology. She brings undeniable integrity to her work and the art of astrological interpretation.
