We’ve been conditioned to chase the thrill…the butterflies, the intoxicating pull, the undeniable chemistry. We’re told it’s a sign, a cosmic green light that we’ve found the one. But what if that rush isn’t leading us to love at all? What if it’s keeping us in a cycle of heartbreak, confusion, and unmet expectations? What if the real secret to love isn’t in the sparks, but in something deeper—something we create rather than just feel?

This is exactly what we explore in my latest episode of Born to Be Free with the brilliant Alison Armstrong. She is not just a relationship expert, she’s a pioneer in understanding the intricate dynamics between men and women. With over two decades of research, her work, including The Queen’s Code, has transformed how people navigate love, dating, and commitment. In our conversation, she strips away the illusions we’ve been sold about love, revealing why we get stuck in destructive patterns, how we unconsciously sabotage intimacy, and how we can begin choosing relationships that truly nourish us.

Together, we dismantle the myth of chemistry, exposing how it blinds us, tricks us into seeing what we want instead of what is, and often keeps us chasing love that isn’t real. We uncover the difference between fleeting passion and deep connection, the illusion that we must deserve love versus simply receiving it, and the silent expectations that sabotage relationships before they even begin. This episode isn’t just a conversation…it’s an invitation to shift how we approach love, to move from chasing sparks to building something unshakable.

If you’ve ever felt pulled into love that fades too fast or wondered why attraction doesn’t always lead to fulfillment, this episode is for you. Listen now, and let’s rewrite the way we love—starting with the way we understand it.

ABOUT Alison Armstrong

Alison Armstrong’s exploration of human behavior began in 1991, with her decision to study men:

"To find out how I was bringing out the worst in them. And hopefully, how to bring out the best." Her success in understanding men naturally led to studying women’s behavior and making vital connections between the two.

As her work evolved over decades, Alison now illuminates human characteristics that precede and express themselves regardless of gender, age, and upbringing. She distinguishes normal human instincts that compel both men and women to behave in ways that contradict and undermine our own purposes, goals, values, needs, and relationships.

Besides fulfilling the need to understand why people behave as they do, Alison offers practical, partnership-based alternatives. Through her seminars, books, online programs, and media contributions, she has been giving millions of people access to more fulfilling lives, loving relationships, stronger families, and productive organizations.

Alison is a sought-after speaker and thought leader among people with the desire to live empowered lives. Her philosophy and approach are referenced and taught by other authors, speakers, business consultants, and therapists.

So much of our suffering comes from forgetting—forgetting our own light, our connection to the divine, the simplicity of happiness. We search for meaning, for healing, for something that will make us feel whole. But what if nothing was ever lost? What if purification is not just about cleansing, but about returning to the truth of our being?

This is the wisdom that flowed through my conversation with two of Bali's most beloved spiritual leaders..

In this episode of Born to Be Free, I am joined by Ida Rsi Wisesanatha and Mahā Devī, a High Priest and High Priestess of Bali—guides, healers, and keepers of sacred wisdom. Their devotion to spiritual service is profound, rooted in an ancient lineage where the art of energetic realignment is not just a ritual, but a profound energetic process—one that clears the past, dissolves unnecessary energy, and creates space for true awakening.

Ida Rsi explains that purification is about restoring balance—not just in this lifetime, but even through the unseen imprints of past experiences. It is a process of releasing, of un-skinning the soul, so that we may step closer to our true selves.

Mahā Devī shares how, as a High Priestess, she moves through this work intuitively—feeling the energy of those she guides, sensing where the body and soul are calling for release. Through deep connection, through water, through intention, she guides others back to themselves.

Because ultimately, purification is not about becoming something different. It is about returning to what has always been true. It is about dissolving the layers that have covered our light, the distractions that pull us away, the noise that makes us forget that happiness—real, unshakable happiness—is not something we need to chase. It is already here.

How often do we complicate what is actually simple? How often do we chase after something that was within us all along?

This conversation is an invitation—to purify, to remember, to return. If you have been feeling the pull to reconnect with yourself, to let go of the old and step into something lighter, this episode is for you.

And for those who feel called to deepen their journey, Ida Rsi will also be part of the upcoming Priestess Initiation here in Swasti—bringing their sacred knowledge and presence to this powerful rite of passage. To learn from him in this way, to experience the depth of his wisdom and healing firsthand, is a rare and profound gift.

The Truth About Menopause: A New Era of Feminine Power with Gaiana 

In this episode of Born To Be Free, I have the honor of welcoming back my dear friend, Beta Gaiana Radha Lisboa—a trauma therapist, family constellation therapist, and author of Women’s Embodiment Guide.

Together, we dive into the topic of menopause and challenge the widespread narrative that it marks the decline of a woman’s radiance, libido, power, and status. In reality, it is the opposite.

Across various traditions, menopause is recognized as a time of wisdom and empowerment—whether as vrddha in the Vedic tradition, the Amazon woman, the māgā, or the healer.

This is a phase where women harness the fruits of their years of experience and step into their roles as wise elders, guiding the next generation. We also explore sacred sexuality and how, for Gaiana, menopause resurfaced unprocessed sexual trauma.

Through deep healing practices, she found her inner power, realizing that she is more alive and vibrant than ever. Instead of being an ending, this phase became her “second spring,” as it is called in Taoist tradition. Another powerful transformation emerged from this period: Kanika, Gaiana’s temple-wear clothing brand, which she devoted three years to creating.

This offering became an integral part of her journey, allowing her to honor this transition with grace and dignity—something many struggle with when menopause is not met with proper care, nourishment, and rest in earlier years.

We also discuss the importance of rituals and rites of passage, marking each phase of life with sacred intention. This conversation is a powerful reminder that menopause is not an end—it is an initiation into deeper wisdom, sensuality, and embodied power.

Key Notes

- Menopause as Empowerment: Contrary to societal beliefs, menopause is a time of strength, radiance, and wisdom

- Traditional Perspectives: The Vedic and other ancient traditions recognize this phase as entering the role of the wise woman, healer, or Amazon woman.

- Sacred Sexuality & Healing: Gaiana’s journey included healing past trauma and discovering deeper sensuality and vitality.

- “Second Spring”: In Taoist tradition, menopause is seen as a rebirth into new energy, rather than an end - Kanika

– A Sacred Offering: The creation of her temple-wear brand helped Gaiana move through this transition with grace and purpose.

- The Role of Ritual: Rites of passage and sacred ceremonies are essential for honoring life transitions.

- Preparation is Key: Menopause is easier when the years of bleeding are met with proper rest, nourishment, and self-care.


Tune in and join us for this intimate, transformative dialogue.

Have you ever felt life gently nudging you in a certain direction, through a chance encounter, a perfectly timed moment, or an unexplained pull in your heart? These moments, however subtle, carry the potential to reshape our lives when we learn to trust them—whispering ancient wisdom that our souls somehow recognize.

In this week's episode of Born to Be Free, I am honored to welcome the luminous Vivien, a sister, a student, and a radiant soul whose story is a testament to resilience, self-love, and the sacred dance of surrender. Her journey unfolds like a masterpiece of human spirit, where heartbreak and challenges transformed into the very foundation of a life overflowing with abundance and sovereignty.

At just 24 years old, Vivien faced an ectopic pregnancy—a devastating experience that not only threatened her physical existence but left her with the heartbreaking prognosis that she might never conceive naturally. This news could have shattered her world into irreparable pieces, but instead, it marked the beginning of a profound transformation. She turned inward, seeking healing through the ancient wisdom of yoga, purifying detox practices, and sacred rituals, which eventually led her to defy medical odds and become the mother of two beautiful boys.

But her story isn't only about overcoming physical challenges; it's about reclaiming her inner power in its most raw and authentic form. Vivien shares how she once lost herself in the labyrinth of relationships, pouring all her love and energy into others while suppressing her own wild, creative essence. A pivotal moment came when she chose to embrace celibacy—not as a rejection of connection, but as a radical act of self-love that would reshape her entire understanding of relationships. It wasn't just about abstaining. It was about bringing all the love and attention you had been giving to others back to yourself. It was about reclaiming sovereignty.

This decision allowed her to heal deeply ingrained patterns of overgiving and set boundaries, especially within relationships that didn't align with her highest self. Vivien shares how she often suppressed her wild woman and lover archetypes to maintain harmony, only to realize that doing so stifled her creativity, joy, and the very essence of who she was meant to be.

Along the way, Vivien found herself guided by synchronicities and sacred encounters that reflected the inner work she needed to embrace —like meeting a German engineer on a plane who spoke of cosmic love or crossing paths with a woman whose story mirrored her own struggles with self-worth and boundaries. These chance encounters became divine messages, reminding her of the wisdom and courage she already held within.

Her transformation reached a profound depth during The Nectar of You immersion I recently hosted in Portugal. Surrounded by sisters and held in the embrace of sacred rituals, Vivien shed old fears and limiting beliefs that had weighed her down for years. She describes the experience as a reclamation of her wild, creative essence and a return to her own inner nectar—a wellspring of joy, power, and self-worth that had always been within her, waiting to be remembered.

But there's so much more to this story than words can capture. How does one describe the moment when a woman realizes she's been living in the shallow waters of life when an ocean of possibility awaits? What really happens when we stop dimming our light to make others comfortable?

Join us for this raw, unfiltered conversation that dares to ask: What becomes possible when we finally trust the whispers of our soul?

Let Vivien's journey be your invitation to dive deeper into your own mystery—to reclaim your power, trust your intuition, and remember that sometimes, the most profound healing begins with a simple act of coming home to yourself.

I am delighted to share this deeply inspiring episode of the Born to Be Free podcast with you. I sit under the banyan tree with my sacred sister, Marlia Coeur—an extraordinary musician, soul writer, and priestess. Her journey is a profound reflection of resilience, transformation, and the magic of reconnecting with our true selves.

Marlia speaks with such authenticity about the moments that shaped her path. She shares how the non-recognition from her parents and the heartbreak of being denied her dream of studying at Berkeley University became catalysts for her evolution. Through every obstacle, Marlia discovered that the wisdom of her body and the healing power of her voice were her greatest allies.

“It has always been here,” she says. “And for me, that’s a beautiful and powerful constant that keeps on traveling with me and gives me the trust and this unwavering confidence that no matter what, when you are really connected to the body, to the voice, they will guide you.”

Her story is an invitation to see our voice as more than sound. It is a sacred tool for healing, a bridge to reclaim our power, and a portal to connect with the divine. Marlia’s journey of vocal activation reminds us that the voice is medicine—raw, potent, and transformative.

Blending her Cypriot and Greek heritage with influences from Indian ragas, Middle Eastern melodies, and ancient sound practices, Marlia has crafted a path of deep healing and connection. Her voice carries not only the echoes of her ancestors but the universal rhythms of prayer, song, and the sacred.

If her story speaks to your soul, I warmly invite you to join us in Bali this March for The Priestess Initiation Training, an 18-day transformative journey from birth to death. Marlia will join us as a facilitator and priestess, sharing her gifts of vocal activation, sacred music, and embodiment practices. Together, we will immerse ourselves in rituals, rites of passage, and the profound healing power of sound.

Listen to this episode to experience the depth of Marlia’s journey. If it stirs something within you, take the next step and join us in Bali. Share this message with someone who might need it, and subscribe for more sacred conversations.

For generations, we’ve been molded by the expectations of a patriarchal society that values productivity over presence, linear progress over natural rhythms. This domestication has disconnected us from our true essence, training us to ignore the deeper wisdom of our bodies and conform to paths that don’t always serve us. But there is another way to live—one that breaks free from these constraints and reclaims our connection to the sacred cycles that guide us.

Today, I’m absolutely thrilled to have my dear friend, and student- Disa Mineur on the Born to Be Free podcast. Disa is a remarkable woman from Sweden, whose life’s work is dedicated to sacred cycles and natural fertility awareness. She has spent over a decade helping others reconnect with their bodies’ natural rhythms. She also joined my mentorship program ‘ The Diamond’ to further deepen her journey. Her path is not just about the teachings she shares—it’s the life she has lived. She embodies what it means to truly embrace the fullness of being human, and I have so much admiration for her courage and wisdom.

Disa’s path has been filled with challenges, yet it’s these very struggles that shaped her into the powerful woman she is today. When she wanted to start a family, she faced the devastating reality of infertility, and then came a diagnosis of severe cervical dysplasia. In that moment, when doctors told her the only option was surgery, something deep within her awakened. She chose not to follow the conventional path but instead trusted in her own inner wisdom. Disa turned to holistic healing, diving into the depths of fertility awareness and the natural cycles of the body. Her journey became about so much more than overcoming a health condition…it was about reclaiming her body and her power. She didn’t just heal; she found herself.

Rewilding is a beautiful process of returning to life as it was meant to be lived—raw, real, and deeply attuned to the natural cycles that flow through us. It’s about embracing the ebb and flow, the moments of rest and growth, the darkness and the light, and finding harmony within these rhythms. By stepping away from the rigid paths that have been laid out for us, we open ourselves to a new way of living—one that honors the wisdom embedded in our bodies and respects the sacredness of each phase we move through. It’s an invitation to reclaim our connection to nature, to our own instincts, and to live in a way that feels authentic, whole, and truly alive.

I invite you to join me in this heartfelt and deeply moving conversation with Disa on the Born to Be Free podcast. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body or yearned for a more authentic way to live, this episode will resonate with you. Together, we explore what it means to reclaim your power, to rewild your spirit, and to embrace a life where you are truly free.

What if money wasn’t something to chase, but something to claim as your birthright? What if wealth was as spiritual as your connection to the divine? When we start to see money as a reflection of our inner sovereignty, everything changes. Abundance becomes less about what we earn and more about what we allow ourselves to receive.

I’m thrilled to introduce you to a truly extraordinary guest, Ombiya, also known as Gaia Speaks. We met in Bali, where her radiant presence left a lasting impression. From her life as a plant medicine guide to discovering the world of cryptocurrency, she’s turned every challenge into an opportunity to claim her own financial sovereignty. And now, she’s empowering other women to do the same.

In this episode, Ombiya opens up about her powerful story—how she stumbled into crypto, lost everything to a hacker, and yet found her way back, stronger and wiser. Through her Crypto Queens community, she’s showing women around the world that financial freedom is not just for men or tech experts—it’s for all of us. It’s a story of resilience, hope, and a bold reimagining of what it means to be empowered.

This conversation is an invitation to rethink what’s possible for you. Ombiya’s story is a reminder that stepping into the unknown, especially in the world of finances, can lead to unimaginable freedom and abundance. She’s living proof that you can take control of your financial future, guided by your intuition and your heart.

So, if you’ve ever felt that money was out of your reach or that the financial world wasn’t for you, this episode will shift your perspective. Tune in, get inspired, and join us as we explore how to reclaim your financial power and live a life of true sovereignty.

And here’s some exciting news: Ombiya and her husband Fab will be guest speakers at the Navaratri Online Festival, where they’ll talk about "Crypto & Sovereignty: Your Path to Decentralized Wealth." If you haven’t signed up for the festival yet, there’s still time! Their session will be on Oct. 7th (Monday), so make sure to join and learn how to reclaim your financial sovereignty through decentralized wealth.

What if true freedom isn’t something we need to strive for, but something we already are, to be discovered as an already accomplished fact here and now? In this deeply reflective episode of Born to Be Free, we explore the idea that self-acceptance and inner freedom aren’t about becoming more or better, but about uncovering the wholeness of our true nature. The journey toward this understanding is not through perfection, but through recognizing that we are lovable and enough, just as we are.

Joining me is Akasha Sky, a devoted yogi, teacher, and spiritual seeker who has spent 34 years on the path of personal and spiritual growth. As the founder of Sama Yoga, Sky has guided thousands of students through the transformative practice of yoga and Vedanta, a philosophy that teaches us how to understand our true nature. With the wisdom of his teachers, particularly Swami Dayananda, Sky embodies the timeless truths of Vedanta, merging the ancient teachings with the realities of modern life.

In this conversation, Sky opens up about his spiritual journey, from the mountains of his youth to the forests of India, where he discovered a deeper purpose through Vedanta. He shares the profound experiences that shaped him, including embarking on vision quests before deciding to become a father, and the lessons he's learned about patience, service, and love through raising his two sons. His reflections on navigating family life while maintaining a spiritual practice offer both wisdom and relatability, as he talks about the delicate balance between personal growth and the responsibility of being fully present for others.

Life doesn’t demand perfection from us, does it? It just asks us to meet ourselves exactly where we’re at, flaws, strengths, and everything in between... Growth and freedom often come not from changing who we are, but from understanding and embracing who we have always been.

If you’re ready to reflect on your own journey of self-acceptance and discover how to find freedom in simply being, this episode is for you. Tune in to hear Sky's soulful insights, and let this conversation remind you that true freedom is already within your reach, waiting to be embraced.

Sky will also be joining as one of the guest teachers, offering profound wisdom on The Hero’s Journey, in the upcoming Navarātri Online Festival. This inclusive celebration is open to all genders, where you can explore deep spiritual teachings and practices at no cost. Sign up for FREE and join the 10-day transformative journey!

ABOUT AKASHA SKY

“What a wonderful journey yoga has provided!” It’s been 34 years of keeping the practices alive in my life, learning about the inner journey and understanding the whole. In the early days I tried every style I could find, fast and slow, athletic and still, eventually it led to Sama Yoga, free from extremes and with balance in all aspects of life. This is what I teach and what I live. Marriage and having a child have only enhanced my devotion for yoga and receiving gracefully all that is. Teaching Sama Yoga is always an honour and a blessing.

Many of us have been taught to fear birth, to expect trauma and pain... But what if we could flip that narrative? What if birth wasn’t something to endure, but a gateway to profound ecstasy, healing, and transformation?

What if we could meet life’s greatest intensities—not with fear—but with trust, surrender, and even pleasure?

In this special episode of Born to Be Free, I’m joined by my dear friend and soul sister, Lovisa Dahl, an extraordinary woman who has redefined what it means to give birth. Lovisa is an orgasmic birthing practitioner, biodynamic healer, and Vedic wisdom teacher. She courageously shares her deeply personal journey of experiencing orgasmic birth—where childbirth became an act of liberation rather than pain, an initiation into deeper power and pleasure rather than suffering.

Through her two orgasmic births, Lovisa learned to embrace the power of her body, allowing herself to feel pleasure even in moments of intensity. Through sacred preparation, connecting deeply with her body, and creating a supportive environment, she turned birth into a sacred act of creation, not just of life, but of healing and empowerment.

Our conversation also touched on something so many of us face—shame. Lovisa bravely opens up about how shame kept her silent about her experiences, afraid of judgment in a society that views birth as something painful, clinical, or even traumatic. It wasn’t until she joined The Diamond Mentorship Program that she began to peel back those layers of shame and fully embrace her truth. This mentorship gave her the strength to share her story with the world—an act of courage and empowerment that I know will resonate with so many of you.

This episode isn’t just about birth—it’s about how we can reclaim pleasure and joy in every part of our lives. Lovisa’s story is a beautiful reminder that, just as with birth, we have the power to choose how we live—in fear or in pleasure. We can surrender to the natural flow of life, trust our bodies, and discover deeper joy and freedom in ways we might never have thought possible.

I invite you to watch or listen to this episode and reflect on how you, too, can embrace life’s greatest intensities with love, trust, and the possibility of ecstasy.
