August 12 Arielle Cole, Founder of Arid Blayne, Talks Mental Health and Tackles Night Sweats With Chic Pajamas
Today, Aly sits down with Arielle Cole, founder of Arid Blayne.
Arielle’s story begins with a deeply personal women’s health issue that is rarely talked about openly: severe night sweats after starting an SSRI. What
started as a frustrating personal experience quickly revealed a much larger gap in the market. Women dealing with hormonal shifts, medication side effects, pregnancy, postpartum changes, perimenopause, and menopause are often left without products truly designed for what their bodies are going through.
Coming from a major fashion house and with insider access to advanced cooling fabric technologies typically reserved for performance apparel, Arielle saw an opportunity to create a solution that treated this as more than
just a comfort issue. After two years of intensive R&D, she launched Arid Blayne, a sleepwear brand built around proprietary cooling textiles engineered to wick moisture, accelerate evaporation, and help regulate skin temperature, while still feeling elevated and fashion-forward.

June 10 Banafsheh Sayyad, Founder of Dance of Oneness Discusses Sacred Dance and Embodiment
On today’s episode Aly sits down with Banafsheh Sayyad. She is a master sacred dancer, spiritual teacher and founder of "Dance of Oneness." Born in Iran, Banafsheh comes from a lineage of pioneering performing artists. She boldly forged a career in dance despite resistance from her family and a patriarchal culture that considered dance shameful. Her spiritual quest began at a young age leading her around the world where she received her MFA in dance and choreography from UCLA. She is internationally known for her groundbreaking choreography, where she invokes the ancient roots of dance as devotion, prayer, and adoration. An innovator of Sufi dance previously only performed by men, she represents the timeless Divine Feminine inside a contemporary gypsy darvish, beckoning us to live with passion, wildness, and reverence.
Today, she and Aly discuss her work and how dance can be an act of liberation and celebration. If you’d like to experience Banafsheh’s work she has an upcoming 7 week online course via the Shift Network. You can find out more information via www.danceofoneness.org.
Banafsheh is hosting a Free Intro Event called Dancing the Sacred Geometry of the Rose during which I introduce the course. This airs Saturday, June 13th at 10am PT, and the replay is on Tuesday, June 16th at 12pm PT. https://shiftnetwork.isrefer.com/go/dsgrBS/banafsheh1/
