  • 28. Don’t Wait for a Health Crisis to Start Living Your Best Life with Drew Stockton
    In this episode, Sam interviews health and life coach, Drew Stockton.
    Five years ago, Drew was diagnosed with cancer, and it changed his life. Following his cancer diagnosis, Drew radically shifted his life. He recognized that prior to this diagnoses, he wasn’t showing up as his authentic self and wasn’t feeling very fulfilled in his life. Cancer woke him up. He left his corporate finance job, began to travel internationally, dove into meditation, embraced a plant based diet, and started exploring spirituality. He moved to Spain and leaned into yoga. And he began to explore and express his authentic self, living in a way that felt fulfilling and true.
    In our episode together, Drew shares about his journey and his message. He speaks about the challenges in leaving his career, in sharing his voice, and pursuing his passions. He shares about the power of community support, the value of being seen, and the liberation that comes from pursuing what feels fulfilling.
    Drew is a talented coach. If you are interested in working with him, check out his website https://www.bemashealth.com and Instagram @dr_ewstockton

    Mentioned in this episode: Drew was on the podcast "Limitless with Emma" twice, in episode 2 and 82, speaking about his story, his experience with Ayahuasca, and his challenges with owning his cancer story.

  • 26. Redefining Purpose & Examining the Role of Human Design with Alex Cantone

    In this episode, Sam interviews Alex Cantone, a thoughtful and intuitive human design reader and teacher. Alex is also a 6/2 Self-Projected Projector.

    Together, Sam and Alex talk about:

    • Looking to Human Design as a tool to connect them to their bodies
    • Examples of when they gave their power and agency away to Human Design
    • The importance of different viewpoints in the Human Design space
    • What it means to find your purpose and what that can really look like
    • This is such an interesting and nuanced conversation about how easy it can be to give our agency up to external systems or ways of being, and the importance of reconnecting with your body and your own innate wisdom to guide you through life. Alex shares what it means to her to find her purpose, and how purpose can exist around us all the time - we don’t have to wait for it to happen. Sam and Alex also talk about self-worth, dating, turning 30, and self-expression.

      You can connect with Alex on her Instagram @alexcantone, listen to her content through the Spacious App (@getspacious), and check out here website here: https://www.alexcantone.com

    • 24. Quitting My Lawyer Job in BigLaw: The 10 Mindset Shifts That Allowed Me to Choose Joy Part 1

      In this two-part series, I am sharing my career story. I share about what led my to law school, what brought me to Big Law in NYC (aka a large, corporate law firm), what it was like to work in a rigorous, fast-paced, sophisticated environment, and what led me to leave to create a whole new career.

      I didn’t have the confidence to make this sort of dramatic leap when I started. I needed to develop some mindset shifts and learn about myself and my desires to have the confidence to make. In this episode, I outline those mindset shift and learnings that allowed me to make choose myself, my joy, and my wellbeing, such as:

      • Realizing that my career shouldn’t make me feel drained, miserable, or deadened. It is possible to feel fulfilled and excited by my work.
      • To be really successful, loving your work matters.
      • I was relying heavily on weekends and trips to bring me joy.
      • I had to work very hard to stay grateful and positive.
      • There are many ways to define success.
      • There are many ways to make money and establish financial abundance.
      • I don’t have to have everything figure out. I just need to have the next step figured out.
      • My identity is not the same as my work.
      • Grieving the loss of the vision I once I had for my career.
      • Realizing my joy was up to me.
      • I have a lot to say (and I share a lot of personal context), so this story will be split in two parts. In Part 2, I will discuss what circumstances prompted me to actually leave, the practical considerations (aka career reputation, money and finance), and what came next.

        If you would benefit from support as you are making a career shift, I would love to welcome you into my coaching program, Sunbeam. Consider setting up a connection call to feel into whether we are a good fit.

      • 23. Human Design Authorities Part 2: Ego Authority, Self-Projected Authority, Mental Projector, Lunar Authority

        In this episode, Sam and Nadia Last discuss some of the human design authorities. According to Human Design, each person has an inner authority, which is the specific way that you may aligned decisions and connect with your intuition.

        There are 8 authorities in Human Design. We covered the three most common authorities - emotional, sacral, and splenic authorities - in Part 1 (see the last episode). In this episode, we cover the ego-projected and ego-manifested authority, self-projected projectors, mental projectors, and the lunar authority. We also discuss de-conditioning strategies.

        We also talk about our Human Design Training, a 14-week comprehensive human design training, led in community, which will begin September 7. You can learn more about that here: https://www.wildriver.live/human-design-training

      • 21. The Chakra System: Exploring Safety, Slowness, and Sacred Connection with Luna Brooke

        In this episode, I interview my friend Luna Brooke to discuss the chakra system. Luna explains what the chakra system is and why it is a valuable tool for inner inquiry, reflection, and healing.

        In this episode, we especially focus on the lower three chakras: the root, the sacral, and the solar plexus. We discuss how experiences of trauma can impact the root chakra, and how that can manifest in your life, particularly in feeling unsafe in the body, feeling unsafe in the world, feeling the need to rush and hurry, or feeling like you always need to achieve.

        Luna is such an incredible resource and has so much to share about the chakra system. If you liked this episode, send us a DM on instagram and tell us about what resonated or caught your attention. We’d love to hear from you!

      • 20. Short Meditation to Connect with Earth and Ground in Your Body

        Connecting with Earth consciousness in meditation has been a very powerful tool for me in cultivating peace and presence in the moment, grounding, managing fear and anxiety, and strengthening my intuition.  I created these meditations on the Wild River Podcast (a 30 minute episode, a 16 minute meditation, and a 6 minute meditation) to support you in your every day life, as often as you want.

        I learned this meditation style from Rachel Pfotenhauer at Vast Earth. Rachel is an extremely gifted Earth channel, meaning she channels the consciousness and energy of Mother Earth, for readings and healings. I have attended dozens of group healings led by Rachel, where she leads us in a meditation to connect with Earth and then amplifies Earth energy in each of our energetic bodies. These experiences were instrumental in me leaving my job as a full-time lawyer and pursuing a career and lifestyle that felt authentic and expansive to me because Earth helped me to clear fear and connect with my body’s wisdom. I highly recommend her work - particularly her Wednesday healings, her retreats, and her readings.
