 Episode OverviewIn this raw, hilarious, and deeply transformative episode, Hannah sits down with Gavin Aberatyne—co-creator of Integral Alchemy—to revisit the bold promises they made just months ago and reflect on everything that's unfolded since.

From somatic healing in boardrooms to emotional regulation in high-stakes leadership, this episode bridges the worlds of spirituality, science, and high performance like never before. Together, they dive deep into the myths that keep high achievers stuck in burnout and explore how direct somatic experience—not just strategy—is the key to lasting change.

This isn't about slowing down to do less... it's about learning to move from a different source entirely.

What You'll Learn

• How to bring science and spirituality into leadership without sounding like a monk
• What happens when high performers actually feel their feelings (spoiler: they get more powerful)
• The hidden shadow of overworking, and why feeling good isn’t a luxury—it’s a strategy
• A behind-the-scenes look at the Integral Alchemy method, how it’s evolving, and what’s coming next
