  • Ayahuasca Paranoia: That Time I Nearly Died in the Amazon - Alisha Smith

    "People say that ayahuasca is a truth serum, but I think it's a fear venom. It drives its viney tendrils deep into the sludge of your soul. It has an arsenal of machinery ready to excavate the shittiest beliefs you hold about yourself. It can make you live your worst nightmares, often in the most creative of ways. And if you're lucky, it may even kill you."

    Alisha presents her ayahuasca experience. Alisha Smith is an adventure driven personality that creates classes to help you heal and transform. She's a notable meditation, movement and breathwork guide. Alisha creates transformational guided meditations, breathwork sessions, yoga classes and powerful energy healing techniques to help you on your journey.

  • Shedding Shame and Guilt through Strength and Resilience

    In letting go of the shame I felt about the person I was, I've been able to feel pride in the woman I'm becoming. This past fall, I wrote and released my memoir, "The Good Stripper: A Soccer Mom's Memoir of Lies, Loss and Lap Dances." With my book, I am teaching people that experiencing trauma and struggling to overcome them doesn't make us weak, it makes us human and oftentimes it's these experiences that connect us to each other.

  • Why You Might As Well Jump

    "I remembered to breathe, which gave me a second to assess the big picture of my life. It wasn't pretty. At the time, my day-to-day existence was an exercise in monotony. I had a job with no future, an outlook with no hope and a string of first dates who had no intention of calling me back. My life was this way for myriad reasons, but at the root of my stagnancy was an aversion to risk."

    Brent Stoller shares why you must take the jump despite the risks. Brent Stoller is a remarkably kind individual that has built a platform and community supporting parents grieving pregnancy lost. Brent has created community, art, and purpose from the adversity he faced.

  • The Pacific Crest Trail Saved My Life - Liane Herrick

    "The Pacific Crest Trail saved my life, but not in the way most people would expect. I wasn't healing from cancer or coping with the loss of a loved one. Rather, I was bored and that boredom manifested itself as depression. Feeding my depression was a fear that I had left no impact and had no meaningful legacy. I have met many fearless and amazing individuals and I admired their stories. I wondered, "How will people remember me?" Hear the rest of this very True story from Liane Herrick now.

  • The Road to 1,000 Followers Changed Everything

    "You're just writing all this to attract more followers. You're just doing this to inflate your ego...You're just doing it to put yourself on a higher ground than your friends...Soon they'll all find out you're nothing you claim to be."
