In this episode of the breath of Liberation, I am joined by Guest Speaker Leila Dylla. Leila shares about her path of liberation, the beautiful touchstones of her journey and how yoga, as a young woman, was the entry point to a more deeply connected life. She talks about how God's love filled her and this became her foundation as a seeker and lover of God. The ways she has learned to be in right relationship with others. How Grief has been much like a medicine journey for her these past 2 years and how the truth of "I am Good & I am Loved" anchored into her through the lessons of Grief.

Leila is a facilitator of LOVE. She is devoted to helping women restore their Holy nature by returning to their Wholeness, Reclaiming their Power, and awakening their unique relationship with Grace.

She specializes in helping women heal within the context of relationships, by restoring authenticity, somatic safety, and honest embodiment. She is devoted to helping women step into their fullness and freedom, and sanctify their lives. She stands as an anchor to the sacred through life's initiations and helps facilitate spiritual maturity and the evolution and expansion of the human heart. Leila is devoted to being the embodiment of Love that our world needs now and inspiring other leaders to live in a devotional way.

Leila is the founder of The Heart Space and is a powerful facilitator. She is truly a devotee of love.

The way she loves and supports, has inspired me for years. She was one of my first coaches and has helped me to become the embodiment of love and has helped me to live a full embodied life.

I am so excited for you to listen to this episode of The Breath of Liberation.

In episode 6, Guest Rebecca Tendrich shares about Freedom, Devotion to Cacao, Sitting with Kava, Preparing for Pilgrimage, Living a Ceremonial Life & Her Legacy of Love.

Rebecca is a Cacao Ceremonialist, Author, Mentor, & Intuititive Singer. Her mission is to support you in cultivating secure self-leadership in your internal world and become a master of frequency while embodying your feminine truth, power, and authority.She's here to help lead you back to

Rebecca is a passionate woman. She lives her life in a ceremonial way. She is devoted to cacao and living from the heart. She is the embodiment of freedom. Rebecca's confidence inspires me so much. She is one of my very best friends.

Rebecca and I met in Jen and Lydia's Breathwork and Human Design Program, The Playground, over 2 years ago. We became accountability partners almost 2 years ago on the Spring Equinox, meeting weekly on zoom. Our friendship has evolved and grown stronger by being in connection in this way.

In this episode, Rebecca speaks on nature as the most tangible form of God. About Plants and the many iterations of God. How sitting with Kava is being with the essence of Peace, and sitting with Cacao is being with the essence of Love. How her apprenticeship with Kava was a process of non-attachment and how going through a death contemplation lead her to embark on a Pilgrimage and step into her Legacy of Love.

She shares about the many pivotal moments in her life that have happened on her journey. About the modalities and guides that have been allies to her and how nature and body based living have supported her.

How weekly breathwork really helped her to clear out what wasn't in alignment, how she came to trust her intuition and learned to be a skillful listener.

It is my honor to have Rebecca as a guest on The Breath of Liberation. I invite you to tune in to this episode with a cup of cacao and a walk in nature, and receive the codes she shares.

As always, thank you for listening to The Breath of Liberation.

In episode 4, I speak with guest Lydia McClain on the power of choice, devotion to love, the impact breathwork has had on her life and her story of Liberation. 

Lydia is a Somatic Breathwork Facilitator & a Trauma Resolution Guide. She is a mentor and a teacher. She is an integral woman, a devotee of love, a wise sage and a powerful space holder.

Lydia follows the path of the heart, the path of liberation. She is in service to following the path and honoring the calling of her soul. This is her vision for others too. She is in service to freedom and liberation. Of coming back home to your heart. Remembering you are already whole and you have everything you need already within you, to heal and rise into the leader you are meant to be. She refers to herself as a Liberatrix. 

Lydia has been my mentor for almost 4 years and I am so excited for you to listen to this episode of The Breath of Liberation. 

In this episode she shares about her path of healing, trauma resolution and how the phrase “I am not the stories I’m telling myself” really supported her. 

She shares about how she found breathwork and the life changing impact it has had on her life. She speaks on root level healing for resolve. How Somatic practices and Somatic experiencing helped her learn the language of the body. How important it is to feel our feelings and how she gained emotional intelligence. How she developed inner safety and how that has had a ripple effect on her life. How her relationship with breathwork has evolved and that partnering with your breath is partnering with life. 

Lydia speaks on choice and self agency. Asking herself and her clients, what is the next most doable choice. How these micro changes add up and the impact they can have on our lives. 

She shares about the importance of integration and resourcing ourselves when doing these transformational practices. How integration helps us digest our experiences. That integration in our life is the ceremony. It helps us to stabilize and deepen the experience. So that we can process it in a way that allows us to have continual growth over time. 

Lydia shares about her recent divorce and how love has guided her. That surrender has been a powerful teacher and learning to submit and see “God as her Dom” has helped her make love with life. She experiences life with the knowledge that we are the vessel , life is the muse and to allow spirit to create through us. Really partnering with spirit and how that has deepened her soul led life. Living with devotion to love. Asking what would love do has been the guiding force of her life.

We discuss community and how supportive community can be on this healing journey.

She shares about resourcing via the plant world. Her relationship with Rose as an integrative ally for her medicine journeys. How rose has supported her on a feminine reset and coming into right relationship with love. Rose has helped her to romanticize life and shown her that her body is her home no matter where she goes. 

We dive into relationships, talking about masculine and feminine energetics and devoting ourselves to partnership. Coming into right relationship with the masculine and feminine and experiencing sacred union.

In this episode guest speaker Jen Rambala speaks about her Journey and how Deconditioning and Breathwork has really supported her in life and in business.

Jen is an expert in Human Design, a business alignment coach and a Trauma Informed Breathwork Facilitator. She has a deep understanding of what it takes to grow a purpose-driven business while embracing the journey of self-healing.

She shares about how success doesn't mean happiness or fulfillment in business and how she has found that it is so impactful to do business in alignment with your energy.

She speaks about breathwork and how it transformed her life by committing to herself, really learning who she is and how to lead herself by listening to the intelligence of the body and quieting the mind.

She shares about the death of her father and how that had her asking deep questions that catapulted her life, her work and her healing. Allowing herself to go on a re parenting journey.

She noticed as she started doing breathwork weekly and saw the transformations happening in her life, she realized that breathwork was missing in her business with her clients.

She has found that doing business differently and finding her own way through human design, deconditioning and breathwork has inspired her to create a Human Design & Breathwork Membership called The Decondition Academy. Bringing Human Design, Business, Mindset, Strategy, Energetics and Breathwork together in a powerful way to support spiritual entrepreneurs to thrive without choosing between business growth and personal healing. To empower you to build your business with ease, clarity, and alignment.

In today's episode I share about Breathwork and Resistance and why I keep showing up to this Breathing Practice.

I also share about Devotion and Dedication. How it has redefined love in my life and how I weave with life in a devotional way. Deep diving into devotion and the importance of showing up for something that is supportive and continues to show up for me. Devotion to the person I am becoming. Embodying that person daily. 

I touch on what I find supportive in times of resistance and really tuning into the body. Leaning into the resistance with inquiry.
