Natalia Rachel is the founder of Iluma Health and author of “Why am I Like This?” As a therapist, she believes that the root of healing the world begins with healing our own trauma.  

Natalia spills:

- The impact trauma has on our relationships and how we take in the world 

- Why trauma isn’t about what happened but rather how it’s left “unmetabolized” by our bodies

- Missed symptoms of having “less easy to spot” trauma

- Her unpopular opinion of why knowing your personality type can be a danger to your evolution

- The dangers of allowing a diagnosis to become your identity

- Trauma Bonding: what is it and how does it impact intimacy

- Why we often feel repulsed by people who are “good” for us but attracted to those who are “bad” for us

- Why we can’t rush embodiment and why “healing” for too long can be harmful

- How popular self-help advice can perpetuate shame and be more harmful than helpful 

- and more….

Lisa is back from hosting her first retreat- aka, the METREAT. She brought 20+ people to Guatemala for a once in a lifetime experience– no lie! In the first hour a volcano erupted causing an emergency evacuation and “plan b” to go into effect. Just like that, her 50 page “run of show” handbook went up in flames and the direction of the METREAT was out of her control. But, somehow, it all worked out magically!  

Lisa spills:

• Why Lisa created the METREAT
• How to plan a retreat with absolutely no experience 
• Why the obstacles and not going the easy route made it incredibly special
• ALLLL the things that went wrong and how we chose resilience in the face of potential ruin
• Her FAVORITE most stand out parts 
• The importance of JOY when healing
• And the major life lessons she learned in just a few short days.

Charlotte Watts is one of Lisa’s favorite people to learn from. She’s currently learning yoga somatics with her.

Self Touch! It’s been there all along as a FREE and easy way to find mind-body connection when it otherwise goes out the window.  In this episode, Charlotte and Leonie share the science behind why self touch helps us connect to self – and other– in a way words simply cannot.

Lisa is sharing one of her favorite podcasts and podcast episodes, hosted by the people that have made the biggest impact on her this past year: Colleen Saidman and Rodney Yee. While these two are “yoga celebs” to many people in the world, they’re just  “yoga mom and dad” to Lisa. Their humility and ability to translate life into spoken word has massively impacted Lisa on every level. In this episode, the husband and wife duo get into it and explore the intersect of Sex, Love, and Spirituality.

In honor of this episode airing a year ago, we decided to replay this for those who missed it!

In this second part, we learn about DOS, the sex cult within NXIUM. how it came to be, and the manipulating ways Sylvie got roped in. We learn how she met her husband, and Keith’s “rules” she had to follow, what her family thought, and how it eventually all fell apart. 

Content warning: Sexual abuse 

Sylvie Lloyd is now a mother to a beautiful baby girl. From ages 18-32, she was a member of NXIUM + DOS, described as “an American cult that engaged in sex trafficking, forced labor and racketeering.”  Her brain was molded by the teachings of the convicted Keith Reineire, and she was the first witness in the federal case. She is a powerful woman we can expect A LOT from in our lifetime.

Hi everyone. Lisa here introducing this episode with a personal life update. Thank you for your continued support and understanding that sometimes surrendering over pushing through is the only way out. big hugs!  xx, Lisa

In this first part of Surviving a Sex Cult ft. Sylvie Lloyd, we learn about the “cult” called NXIUM: how Sylvie got involved, her first introduction to Keith, and how her reality was warped by his “teachings”. Sylvie was the first witness to testify against Keith: she shares the humiliating story behind the trial and why she’s stayed away from the media since.  She also shares why she’s sharing her story with us and has a message for all victims.
