In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of embodiment, focusing on how dance serves as a profound and sophisticated technology for being fully present in our bodies. Carly shares her personal journey of discovering the power of embodiment through dance, especially ecstatic dance, and how it's been a vital practice for releasing stagnant energy and emotions. With modern life bombarding us with overwhelming information, Carly explores how practices like dance, breathwork, shaking and movement help regulate our nervous systems and move energy that might otherwise build up and cause stress or emotional blowups. She also reflects on the importance of creating space in our daily lives for these embodiment practices to help us process trauma, maintain emotional balance, and reclaim a sense of trust and power in our bodies.

In this episode, I dive into my journey with creativity and the practice of Dharma Sprints. After reading Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act, I felt inspired to explore my own creative process, only to discover how little I actually knew. I reflect on the ebbs and flows of creativity and how showing up daily has been a lesson in devotion.
I also introduce you to the concept of Dharma Sprints, created by Eric Godsey, which are 90-minute focused sessions designed to cultivate attention and focus, especially in the age of distractions. Through these sprints, I've learned how powerful it is to create for the sake of creating—without attachment to the outcome or urgency.
From moments of resistance to breakthroughs, I share the emotional rollercoaster of honoring my artistic path and making art simply for the joy of it. This episode is full of reflections on the tension between control and surrender, the magic of manifestation, and how staying flexible is key to creative devotion.
If you're ready to dive deeper into your own artistic expression, this episode will inspire you to lean in, create, and make space for the muse.
Tune in for a heartfelt exploration of what it means to show up for your creative self and trust the process, no matter where it leads.

Together, we explore the emotional complexity of navigating religious trauma, personal identity, and what it means to reclaim your spiritual path. Amanda speaks candidly about how she gave herself permission to redefine her relationship with faith and God, ultimately creating a more authentic connection.
