Intimate Conversations

I thought I'd been through a lot of challenges in my life. Not compared to the extraordinary Lauri.  She's my inspiration, she's our community's inspiration and I know she'll expand your point of view of what's possible. From the early years of addiction to the loss of her friend, a devastating rock-climbing accident, the loss of her daughter and now raising a three and a six-year-old, this woman...

What's a Sex & Intimacy Surrogate Partner?    Court is brave. He gets asked really stupid questions, interrogating, insensitive questions... and still his heart is huge, his integrity impeccable and his authenticity refreshing.  I love how we started talking about sex based on how our moms raised us! It was fascinating to discover the arc of the relationship of a certified surrogate partner with t...

On the other side of death is truth… that quote is literally tattooed on Azrya's arm. Indeed the only way through is through. This couple's story of their relationship and how they are willing to feel everything from devastation to rapture... is breathtaking. Talking about anxiety and how that fear paralyzes intimacy, this couple has the ugly cries. Yet they're willing to lean in and take ownershi...

In this solo episode I dissected How anxiety, fear, activated emotions and unresolved past traumas can get in the way of delicious intimacy, deep connection and soul shaking love. I transparently share my own journey of relationships from my 1st boyfriend, husband's and recent relationship.  I do my best to make a safe place for those smart successful people in this world who still haven't found h...

It's amazing when you start an intimate, connected, committed journey with someone… where it will go. I've had the honor of coaching Carla for 5 years and watch her life literally transform professionally, personally, romantically, parentally... Now I'm blessed to have Carla narrate my 6 books and my 10 Allana Pratt Method Processes as a deeply talented voice over artist. Soon l will surrender to...

I can't tell you how delicious it is when I meet somebody who speaks the same language. TJ gets it. Lives it... teaches it. There's so much value in presence, in feeling our feelings, in integrating our activated emotions, so that we can cultivate deeper more meaningful relationships. We CAN become that trusted person that our lover or friends turn to because they know we're not going to fix them....

'Never again' she said after a several decade relationship ended in a 20 minute conversation. This led to a profound 6 year soul searching journey where she discovered how she had been shrink-fitting herself to find love. Turns out the magic was not only in her Ex, she discovered it was in herself. And we had a complete melding of the minds to understand that the body, mind, heart and soul are uni...

A Dose of Positivity, the name of  Mike 's latest book, is a massive understatement. This man, his book and his message is a dose of life altering, heart expanding, embodied potent grounded Bliss.  Mike  shared his own personal journey of addiction, lack of mentors or guidance from for his athletic abilities... Yet his willingness to consistently do the right thing even though it was hard, has cre...

In this vulnerable did-I-really-say-that episode, I reveal my own journey with shame. It started at church as a little girl, then made wrong for apparently almost killing my sister, wrong for being a Little Bo Peep, wrong for dancing like a Sufi dancer to Jesus Christ Superstar in the living room. And then I reveal the Monster in the closet of my psychedelic somatic integration protocol journey… t...

Everyone evolves at their own pace, their soul has its unique journey and yet holy shit Sean is waking up. Fast!  I remember when he joined the community it was a 50th birthday present to himself to invest in his evolution after being blind sided by a painful divorce. He's bravely felt his feelings, taken ownership of his growth opportunities, he does the work and values his open heart more than e...

I love talking to return guests to see how they've evolved over the years. Aaron is thriving leading retreats all over the world and even more deeply grounded than I remember. He was waking up in Bali drinking his coconut water as I was ending my day in Wyoming with a glass of wine :-) We shared about the masculine and feminine energy within us all, and do our inner masculine and feminine get alon...

Talk about a rich, juicy, vulnerable, connected, authentic call with a brother from another mother on the other side of the globe. What a blessing, honor and privilege to receive  Blake 's transparent share of his recent reconfiguration and rebirth. What a reminder of the importance of surrounding ourselves with non judgmental beings who see us and give us a sense of warmth. What a statement of th...

As I research about loneliness, blame and depression, so much of our human need for connection goes wonky when we put our singular focus on getting that connection from others, without balancing that out with inner connection.  Some of the research I found I completely agreed with and yet others I feel perpetuate the problem of loneliness by over focusing on secondary consciousness, our thoughts,...

Oh, how I love this woman! I love how she explained her desire for evolution and being sacredly challenged to keep discovering more of who she is and what's possible. I so appreciate her bravery to feel and to let it be OK that she navigates death in her own unique brilliant way. I love how being on Team Allana and doing my coaching processes with my coaches has contributed to her integrating trau...

God, I love these two. They do the work. They take ownership. They know we'll never get there or be perfect. They know how to repair a rupture; they acknowledge how the other brings out the best in them. They're living their purpose and facing their fears and integrating their traumas. They have such compassion for one another's body's programs of trauma that get triggered from time to time. They'...

This was basically like interviewing sacred psychedelic superstars... my amazing practitioner Annie and her teacher Saj.  While everything I've done for the past 20 years on my personal growth path has been supportive, nothing until PSI had cracked the code on why I kept attracting abusive romantic relationships and professional situations.  The profound sense of self forgiveness is beyond words,...

What a treat after interviewing over 850 in my life… to have you all to myself in my first  solo   episode ! I talked to you about what trauma means, how it happens and what it looks like in an adult. I shared my experience of my own unresolved trauma and how I'm healing it with the help of the PSI protocol. This journey has shown me how life is ALWAYS for us and how trusting our BODY is key. I've...

What a great interview with return guest Kristina with the prelaunch of her next book becoming flawsome.  We began with the myth that if I love myself unconditionally I won't become better. Yet by the end of the interview she mentioned how the Dali Lama told her you can't help anyone unless you're happy.  Happiness and success are different according to Kristina.  She had it all but wasn't happy,...

Oh my God I love this woman! We had so much fun! Emma's story of becoming a human design expert will inspire anyone looking to live their true sacred purpose and let go of fears of being your fullest potential. She had an extraordinary way of expressing to me how I'm wired and designed... 'Hacks' as she calls them to support me in feeling the uniqueness and specialness that I am. One particular dy...

Jessie is so real. Something from when I first met her on an IG Live stuck with me. She said… I like me.  We went deeper into what that really looks like day to day, what to do when we don't feel that way. How coming back to our values matter. How being fulfilled and satisfied might be more nourishing and healthy than being successful. How her book Heartsick normalizes and welcomes what it is to b...

I like talking to Natalie Pace about money because I believe she has a healthy intimate relationship with money. We spoke of her thrive budget, her spiritual practices regarding money, the scientifically proven then education, the importance of tithing and gratitude, and that there are always solutions yet they may require brave choices, intuition, education, and even endorphins! In the end, she w...

It had been a while since I was on Lilli's Podcast and I forgot how much we get on like a house on fire! We're so aligned in what it takes to truly heal emotional trauma and stop abandoning ourselves and our soul. She was so vulnerable about what it took to start speaking up and standing up rather than choosing someone else over her. We spoke of not only the skill of intuition and discernment but...

I'm not sure I've ever taken so many notes during an interview! It was nugget after nugget, bumper sticker after bumper sticker!  Susie is literally the embodiment of the heroines journey, the extraordinary breathtaking evolution of a self loving woman. You will love listening to the details of her "guy pie"!  She will inspire you not only to never give up on love, but to even more deeply come hom...

What a delicious couple. Talk about complimentary energies of 1 + 1= infinity… Elsbeth and Freddy and I talked about Sexual Enlightenment, also the name of their book and audio book on Amazon.  As co-founders of the Tantra Nova institute in Chicago they shared about how sexuality can bring us to an alternative state of consciousness... our breath, body, awareness and use of intentionality can be h...
