About the Guest:

Samantha Jones Darling is a spiritual teacher, globe-trotting shamanic healer, and author of I Am Ready.

Key Takeaways:

Letting go is not just emotional—it’s physiological. Samantha teaches the Magic Breath technique, a grounding tool that regulates the nervous system in real time.
Her release practice “the hops” uses mini jumps and body shaking to dislodge grief and fear trapped in the chest—an easy, somatic way to reclaim calm.
Surrender is often misread as weakness. In truth, it is the moment we stop resisting life and open ourselves to possibility.
Healing doesn’t always look graceful—it’s crying on the bathroom floor, screaming in the car, and honoring the messy truth.
Samantha reframes letting go as “loving release”, helping clients see it's not about losing something, but making space for better alignment.
Inner child healing is central. Kids don’t hold onto what hurts—they move on quickly. We must relearn this innocence and truth.
Tools like water rituals, breathwork, and self-curiosity anchor the body in safety so the heart can release the past.
Her reminder: "Letting go isn't escape. It's the first act of coming home."
