This week I sat down with Sydney Strabala (@creatingsyd), a highly experienced program coordinator and passionate creator on a mission to empower human beings to step into their best selves.

Syd's approach is multi-dimensional - she’s a certified Kundalini Yoga & meditation teacher, breathwork coach, and sound healing practitioner. She’s also a multi-media artist, creative director, and founder of The Underground Society - a creative social club that brings together artists through meet-ups and retreats around the world.

You can’t put labels on Syd, but everything she does is rooted in the belief that authentic self expression and spirituality are intertwined. Her word for this integration is soul-expression.

In this chat Syd shares what this term means, and how we can create from a place of deep love and inspiration. We also cover a bunch of other topics including:

The sacred plant medicine cacao and its heart-opening properties

Yoga as a science and technology

Specific mantras to silence the mind and reset the nervous system

Destiny and free will and why they're not mutually exclusive

The real difference between the ego & the soul

What it means to fully experience oneself

To close things out Syd shared a sound healing meditation that you’re definitely going to want to tune into. Especially if you’ve never been on a sound healing journey, this is going to take you places.

This said, lots of great things covered in this episode and I’m so honored to have had this lovely and beautiful conversation with such a sincere, intelligent and creative soul.
