DARE TO FEEL

On today’s episode, Alexandra speaks with Melissa Stangl, who is a Founding Partner and the Chief Operating Officer of the Soltara Healing Center in Costa Rica.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Discussion on listening to your inner voice, even when it’s telling you to completely alter the course of your life, and ideas on how to navigate that for yourself.
• The different reasons people come to Soltara to sit with the medicine of ayahuasca, and how it can sometimes stem from desires to heal, to grow, to transform, and/or to seek answers on your life path, or where to go next in life.
• Ideas on the process of integrating what comes through in a plant medicine ceremony, and how that process can differ for each person, and can often be a very non-linear integration process.
• How doing deep transformational shadow work is actually very uncomfortable, more often than not, and how so much is gained through sitting with it and moving through those shadowy blocks and places.
• Ideas on getting tired of your old patterns holding you back, and how that can often be the catalyst to enter the deep transformational work and make a different choice for yourself.
• And more!

For today’s episode, Alexandra sat down with one of her besties, Sah D’Simone, in her house in Colorado for an in-depth conversation where they discuss some things Sah has never discussed publicly before!

If you don’t yet know our guest, Sah D’Simone is a spiritual guide, meditation teacher, international transformational speaker, best-selling author, and creator of The Sah Method, who has dedicated his life to helping others to live in alignment and achieve their highest potential. He is pioneering a Spiritually Sassy, heart-based healing movement rooted in science-backed, tried-and-true techniques, in which joy and authenticity illuminate the path to enlightenment. 

His infectious enthusiasm for healing is grounded in a masterful and revolutionary synthesis of ancient Tantric Buddhism, modern contemplative psychotherapy, meditation, breathwork, and integrative nutrition... all delivered in his own radiant, approachable, and playful style. His teachings have helped enrich the lives of millions of people, and inspire a new generation of change-makers. Deepak Chopra called Sah a "radical spiritual guide, igniting connections among his generation." 

Sah has worked with Google, MoMa, Havas, Unicef, and American Express among others, and is a TEDx speaker. He has been featured on BuzzFeed, Vice, USA Today, and Refinery29, to name a few. His first book, 5-Minute Daily Meditations, was called “a yearlong personal retreat of daily meditations” by Sharon Salzberg; and his second book, Spiritually Sassy: 8 Radical Steps to Activate Your Innate Superpowers is out now. Check out his top-rated podcast, The Spiritually Sassy Show. Find Sah on Instagram and TikTok: @SahDSimone

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Sah’s journey and transformation from “serious spiritual teacher” to allowing himself to explore and share his teachings through a more artful, joyful, and authentic expression.
• Some of Sah and Alexandra’s experiences of being rejected in spiritual spaces, and how Sah was able to transform through his anger in those moments and alchemize anger into forgiveness.
• Ideas on our society’s cancel culture around social media, and how it really may be around our inability to accept that humans change and grow throughout their lifetime.
• The process of working with trauma and some ideas on ‘trauma worship’ and how we can sometimes get stuck in certain parts of the healing process.
• Sah’s current curriculum of moving away from workaholism and how that process requires grieving the old ways of contributing to the world, and also opening up the space for new contributions and art in the world.
• And more!

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How ‘building the confidence’ to work with women in the transformational space was really around monetizing working with women, and how that took courage and introspection… and still does to this day!

• How to get to the root of your why behind anything you are doing and putting out into the world.
