We talk about:

• How did you learn to listen to, and trust, your gut intuition?
• Why do we have to sometimes betray ourselves in order to find our truth?
• What happens when we are triggered and how do we come back to our center?
• What is sacred rage and what have you learned from your rage?
• How do we find our truth...

What People are Saying:

“Shannon Algeo inquires deeply into the questions that confront all of us now. Like a guide through a very dense forest, he paves a path and sheds light on where we need to walk. His hand is steady, his words encouraging, and the path he creates always moving in the direction of our spiritual truth.”

—Marianne Williamson, author of A Return to Love and A Politics of Love

“Honest, earnest, brave, and liberating, Shannon’s practices and illuminating narratives in Trust Your Truth will guide you home to yourself.”

—Elena Brower, best-selling author of Practice You

“Shannon is a gifted and authentic teacher. He bravely shares the truth of his life lessons and the practices that helped him find clarity, build resilience, and thrive. I highly recommend this book to anyone who seeks to live a fulfilling and abundant life that is aligned with purpose.”

—Tracee Stanley, yoga teacher, and author of Radiant Rest and The Empowered Life Self- Inquiry Oracle Deck

“Trust Your Truth is an intimate, well-organized, and thought-provoking spiritual road map that provides embodied tools for healing past trauma, and soulful insights that lead to greater self-confidence. Shannon Algeo’s relatable and honest storytelling sets the tone for personal inquiry, and his explanation of the body’s energy system (chakras)—and the questions and practices he offers for self-exploration—are intriguing and accessible. Trust Your Truth is a meaningful companion for anyone on the path toward healing, awakening, and purpose.”

—Seane Corn, yoga teacher; cofounder of Off the Mat, Into the World; and author of Revolution of the Soul

My mom and I did this episode in May. She passed away November 27th. This was her journey. If you're going through a loss, if you are soon to leave this body, perhaps this episode can bring you communion. I don't know. But I do know that I love my mom very much, and feel privileged to have shared this conversation with her. Let me know if it serves, and share if you feel called.

All my love,

Alexa

Are you resisting what is?

I get it. It's a wild time, and resistance seems like the only way.

It's not though, and I have some insight to share on what resistance is. On how to move through it. And on what is on the other side.

If you're having a tough time in the NOW, give this episode a listen. I hope you dig it, and I hope you know I'm sending major good juju your way.

PS. If you're down, pleas pleas please share this episode... and if you'd be so kind, won't you leave us a review wherever you listen?

Much love Savages,

Wow. Christy has an energy that is divinely contagious. She is a teachers teacher, the type that anyone and everyone could grasp something really juicy to sink their teeth into. She channeled (yes downloaded from the divine) her first book, Perfect Pictures which was a New York Times best seller, and had developed, honed, and is now a coach of the 7 Spiritual Laws, and Law of Attraction.

We break those laws down in this episode, so you don't want to miss it. Let's dig in.

BECOMING THE PERSON I AM TODAY HAS BEEN A JOURNEY OF LETTING GO…

I’ve been known as the girl that “has it all” among my peers. A Multimillion dollar business, Two New York Times best-selling books, two great kids and to top it all off… a husband that I can honestly say I’m still in love after 12 years.

But that was not always the case. Quite the opposite actually.

I’ve had more than my share of “life” moments that brought me to my knees.

I’ve always been a driven person, and while begin “driven” can help you get what you want, who teaches us to want the right things?

What I wanted – was purpose.

But I didn’t even know what purpose felt like.

All I knew was that it didn’t feel like this.

So I focused my attention on attracting the feelings of purpose. Keep in mind I had no idea about the law of attraction, I simply reasoned to myself that if I didn’t know what something was – I needed to focus my attention on it so IT could find me!

It was during my book presentations that I began to be approached by people asking if they could stay in touch with and call upon me from time to time with questions. I was honored and for a time began taking calls (for free keep in mind) and began coaching people on the 7 Spiritual Laws and Law of Attraction.

It was from these humble beginnings that my coaching practice began. I’m grateful for every person I’ve had the pleasure to work with and I continue to take on coaching clients to this day.

Oh and would you mind leaving us a 5 star review wherever you listen? And if you dig it... share it!

Thanks so much for tuning in, and remember to do yourself a solid and stay Savage.

My oh my, my girl Maya Stojan is a real life angel sent from heaven above. Her story is beautiful, and the way that she gifts it to us all is too. Love in a pandemic seems more like an oxymoron than anything else, but Maya has another story to share. Even though this glorious soul is so accomplished as an actress, in today's episode we focus mostly on her love life, on what her experience has been like cultivating a new partnership in a dark time, and her gratitude practice. She has so many gems to share with you all, and I feel so privileged to have had her on the show.

If you're looking for love, this episode is for you. If you're a Maya fan like I am, this episode is for you. If you want to giggle and celebrate life, this episode is for you. So let's get going shall we?

PS. leave us a 5 star review wherever you listen to this, and if you dug it... share it! Thank you so much all.

More on Maya:

Maya Stojan was born on the 28th of June 1986 and raised in Geneva, Switzerland, which makes her fully bilingual in both French and English. Her mother is Sri Lankan and her father Czech, which explains her exotic look.

Maya moved to Los Angeles to pursue her acting career in 2008 after receiving a Bachelors degree in Fine Arts in Actor Training at the Hartt School of Theatre and Music in Connecticut.

Shortly after Maya arrived in Los Angeles, she started booking roles in both independent and feature films and also in well-known TV shows.

The Swiss actress seeks out and pursues every opportunity to further her career.

In her free time, Maya loves to do Yoga, watch movies, hit golf balls at the driving range late at night, salsa dance and is a total foodie. She also practices Transcendental Meditation every day.

Maya believes that through gratitude and hard work one can achieve all dreams!

Not only is Kate one of my dearest friends, but this little lady is an absolutely brilliant teacher, a total witch, and on a path that I think you'll enjoy hearing about in this uncertain time. Kate Bass, originally from Anchorage Alaska, now based in Los Angeles, performs extensively in America and abroad in many varying musical genres. She made her solo debut with the New York Philharmonic in Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center under the baton of Case Scaglione; she also appeared in the Emmy-nominated production of Carousel, televised on PBS’s “Live at Lincoln Center.” In recent years, she has sung numerous times at Carnegie Hall (Der Vampyr, The Messiah, Verdi’s Requiem, Elijah), as well as Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center (La Farsa Amarosa). Kate made her New York City Center principal debut as Josephine in H.M.S. Pinafore, a role she has taken to Wolf Trap Opera and the Colorado Symphony, and continues to tour nationally and internationally with the New York Gilbert and Sullivan Players. She recently appeared as Princess Ida in Princess Ida at the New York Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, and Off-Broadway at the Saint George Theatre in the world premiere of Trains the musical, as well as the Musical Guest for 24 Hour Plays at the Atlantic Theater Company.

Equally at home in jazz music, Kate has performed in cabaret at the Metropolitan Room and (le) poisson rouge in New York, and at the Hotel Café in Los Angeles. She has recorded as a soloist for numerous film scores with music by Arturo Cardelús, David Stone Hamilton, and others; her voice was recently featured in the film “Pecado Original,” winning awards at both the Austin Film Festival and the Milan International Film Festival. Kate was also the soprano soloist for Iranian singer and setar player Hafez Nazeri’s Grammy-nominated SONY Worldwide release of “Untold” with the Rumi Symphony. Kate Bass is a composer and singer-songwriter; her debut album, “Maya,” was released in August 2012, and her first single aired on British radio in early September 2013. She released her new EP, “More”, in February 2016 and her May 2017 crowd-funded album, “Songs of the Open Road,” debuted Off-Broadway at the Triad Theater in New York City. She has performed her music live to sold out crowds across America, and has been hailed by the press as “easy to love,” “infectious,” and  “one of the best vocalists on the scene today.”  

Kate maintains a full private voice studio based out of Pasadena, California; as well as coaching many young up-and-coming singer-songwriters and musical theater performers, she has taught as a Teaching Artist in Residence for the Metropolitan Opera Guild in New York City.  She teaches master classes and workshops on voice, songwriting, and musical theater all over the world, from Classical Singer Conventions throughout the country to programs in Lebanon and Africa.  She currently teaches on vocal faculty at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California.

Lonely? On the dating struggle bus? Keep attracting the same type of partner? I got you baby. This episode is for you.

Marni Battista is the founder of Dating with Dignity and The Institute for Living Courageously. Having been married for 17 years, divorced, and successfully dated again in today’s complex social environment, and now happily married, Marni understands what it feels like to be lonely and sick of wasting time going on dates and having relationships with unavailable men that go nowhere.

Through her own journey to find love, Marni felt called to create a process to shorten the journey for other women suffering from the inability to create emotionally safe and fulfilling intimate relationships. She discovered, in fact, that creating this process was truly the mission of her soul and purpose.

Her wisdom is so good, her energy is contagious, and you will receive so many gems from this one. Give it a listen, and be sure to share the episode with your friends, these goods were meant to be shared.
