Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hi, I'm Sabrina Soto.
I believe the bestconversations are with friends
who are really able to openthemselves up and share their
lives, both the good parts andthe bad.
You're going to be listening tosome of those candid
conversations and hopefullygaining some insight to help you
redesign your life from theinside out.
Welcome to a solo episode ofRedesigning Life.
(00:25):
I haven't done one of these ina long time and I really enjoy
them because I feel like I'mhaving a like.
I'm talking to you directly.
Well, cause, I am like, but Ifeel like I'm having a
conversation, even though it'sone-sided.
I wanted to do this episode bymyself, to share an experience
that I had a few months ago in asweat lodge, which was
(00:48):
mind-blowing.
But first, before I get to that, I want to thank everyone so
much for the well-wishes on theengagement.
Oh my gosh.
First of all, everyone's sosweet.
Thank you for all your kindwords.
The engagement was sounexpected.
It was such a surprise.
It was so funny and romanticand thoughtful.
So maybe Nate will be on thepodcast and we can talk about
(01:11):
how he did it.
It was awesome, and I'm soexcited about wedding planning.
I keep going back and forthlike let's do it here.
No, let's do this, and so we'rejust starting the planning, but
it's all so exciting and I justyeah, I'm very, very happy,
obviously, and so thank you forall of that.
(01:32):
I also want to share a newproject that I'm working with.
Um, after I talked to you aboutthis, what lodge experience?
Um, so stay at the end so I cantell you all about the new show
that I'm working on.
Stay at the end so I can tellyou all about the new show that
I'm working on.
But the whole purpose of thisepisode is to talk to you about
the sweat lodge that Iexperienced a few months ago and
(01:52):
what I took from it and what Ilearned from this experience,
which I was not expecting.
So a few months ago, right aftermy birthday, right before the
new year, nate and I went toSayulita, mexico, which is about
an hour away from PuertoVallarta, and I signed us up for
this sweat lodge.
(02:12):
It's called Temazcal and, thankGod, nate is just such a
trooper.
He will basically try anythingwith me, which I'm so grateful
for, because sometimes I havesome pretty kooky ideas, but
he's such a good sport and so Isigned us up, thinking, okay, I
could do a sweat lodge, like Ilove being warm and I love
saunas and I love the seatheater in my car, I love hot
(02:38):
showers.
Let me tell you something.
This was something else.
So we get to this sort of placethat has this igloo it looks
like a stone igloo in the cornernext to this cold plunge pool,
and there's a shaman there andhe greets us and there's people
(03:00):
trickling in.
There's probably about 12 of usat the end who are in this
Tamaskal, which really does looklike an igloo, and before that
the shaman who's in charge has aset intentions.
Now this is like an ancientritual.
They've been doing this forhundreds and hundreds of years
(03:21):
and I decided to do it.
I was just very curious.
But people do it for healing,they do it for self-discovery.
I just was curious to trysomething new and to sort of
push my boundary.
Now, I didn't realize how muchI was going to push.
I really did not realize howdifficult this was going to be,
but it just was intense.
(03:42):
The intensity of the heat andjust the entire, just
uncomfortableness pushed me tothe edge.
So we walk, we do the intentions, everybody sort of prays and
meditates for a little bit, weget saged and then, one by one,
(04:04):
while we're doing this, they'reheating up these stones and so
they start piling it into themiddle of the room in the igloo
inside and we get in and it'shot, I mean, I'm uncomfortable,
but it wasn't that bad.
And once everybody gets piledin and they put up in all the
rocks and you, you know it'svery, it's very serious.
(04:25):
It's every time a rock comesyou sort of give it a prayer and
thank it.
And then I know that they weregoing to close the opening with
this blanket.
But I'm thinking, okay, it's ablanket, so I'll be able to just
like see the sun through it.
As soon as they closed thatblanket, it was so thick, it was
completely pitch black in there.
I couldn't see anything, whichI started panicking just with
(04:48):
that alone.
Forget about the heat.
I was just.
It was pitch pitch black and itwas hot, it was humid in there
and you know I've meditated, soI started just calming my brain
down low.
You know, deep breaths, slowbreaths, and I calmed myself to
calm myself down.
Now I didn't realize howintense the heat was going to
(05:10):
get.
Again, I've done hot yogabefore in 110 degree rooms.
This was nothing like that.
The heat was so intense that Ithink goodness had a like a
cotton shirt that I brought inthere wrapped around my waist.
I put it over my face because Ifelt like it was burning and it
(05:33):
was just intense and that youdo four rounds At least we did
at this experience.
You did four rounds and it wasabout 10 minutes each.
So after the first round I feltlike I had already pushed myself
to the limit and I kind of gaveNate a look like I don't know
if I could do this three moretimes and he kind of gave me
this nod.
We didn't talk at all.
And then, after the secondround, I just started really
(05:58):
getting emotional and I think Iwas just holding grief in from
losing Harper.
I was just holding grief infrom losing Harper, which I'm
still dealing with and I juststarted crying.
Really I was just letting go ofall this emotion.
And again, it was hot.
I was crying but I just didn'tum worry about anybody else in
(06:19):
that room because they werechanting during this time and
they had drums in there, so Idon't even think anybody could
hear me crying, not that I evencared because I was so hot.
But after that after that secondtime they kind of open up the
blanket to let some air in andfor you to reset before they do
it the second and third time.
And Nate looked at me like youknow we could leave now.
(06:42):
But I gave him the look, thelook like no, we're going to get
through this.
And we did, and I couldn'tbelieve it.
Especially at the last sort ofround.
I really, really feltuncomfortable, like really
uncomfortable, like I don'tthink I could do this.
But what happened was I,secretly, was hoping somebody
(07:05):
else gave up, because I wasthinking to myself if somebody
else gets up and leaves, thenthat gives me the permission to
get up and leave too.
And nobody did, no one in thatroom.
And everybody in that room wasfrom different walks of the
earth, like older, younger inthat room, was from different
walks of the earth, like older,younger, and everybody had their
(07:27):
own intention of going in there.
But no one gave up At the end.
And I'm telling you it wasreally uncomfortable.
I thought I was going to getsick, I thought I may vomit, I
thought I was going to maybepass out and the heat was just
so uncomfortable.
But I just had my mindset on ifnobody else gives up on this,
I'm not going to give up on this.
And when we all kind of cameout, we all gave each other this
(07:51):
weird nod of congratulationsand acknowledged each other's
strengths.
Again, I didn't know any ofthese people.
We were in the cold plunge.
Everybody got out, we weredrinking really nutritious teas
and juices and they hadwatermelon for us.
Everybody was sort of sharingtheir experience.
But what I took out of it wasthe importance of community.
(08:14):
And this is coming fromsomebody who's ultra independent
.
I don't have a problem going todinner by myself, going to the
movies by myself.
I have vacationed alone.
Some of my friends think I'mcrazy because of it, but no, I
just came out of that realizingcommunity is so important
(08:35):
because and the company that youkeep in your life is so
important, because if anyoneelse would have given up on that
sweat lodge and that experience, I would have given up on
myself.
And I started thinking howimportant it is to surround
myself with people that arelike-minded, who are
(08:55):
goal-oriented or at least wantto up-level their life, because
if you surround yourself withstagnant people who just want to
stay the same and not grow inany category of their life
chances are.
It's going to become contagiousto you.
And if people don't grow andyou're not around people who are
pushing you to grow too and bethe best version of yourself,
(09:18):
you're not going to because it'sharder, it's very difficult to
do it if you don't have acommunity pushing you.
And I realized none of thosepeople gave up on themselves,
which gave me the courage to notgive up on myself.
And who knows, maybe if I wouldhave walked out, somebody else
would have walked out too.
I don't know, because we allstayed in there together.
But the group inside it wasthis sort of shared space of
(09:41):
vulnerability and endurance andthat really impacted my mindset
and I wonder how often do wepush ourselves further when we
see others doing the same?
The group energy sort ofamplifies this resilience and it
shifted from this individualstruggle that I was going
(10:02):
through to this sort ofcollective and that reflects in
my real life.
I didn't realize until then Iknow that sounds silly, but even
Nate agreed that had somebodygiven up I think it was little
by little people would havetrickled out, and that's the
(10:22):
idea that we tend to match theenergy of those around us and if
we surround ourselves withpeople who are stagnant, we may
stay stagnant ourselves.
So it's important to choose tobe in the rooms where people are
pushing themselves, they'reevolving, they're doing hard
things and in doing that hardthing, in that sweat lodge that
day, I realized that beingreally uncomfortable it's for
(10:43):
the most part not always, butfor the most part it's just
temporary and getting out ofthat and pushing through it
that's where the growth happens.
And I'm somebody who loves tobe comfortable.
I try to keep my housecomfortable and I realize it's
in those uncomfortable timeswhere I grow the most and I want
(11:05):
to continue to do that in mylife.
I just wonder have you ever heldyourself back because of the
company that you keep to, toreally assess your inner circle,
to do inventory?
Are the people around you?
Are they inspiring you to douncomfortable things or go to
the next level?
Are they draining you or arethey just keeping you in the
same spot?
Sometimes people around you,even if you want to evolve into
(11:29):
a new person, they want you tostay the same because it feels
comfortable to them or they lovethat version of you.
But if you've outgrown who thatis, it's okay to outgrow people,
it's okay to move on.
And by outgrowing people.
It doesn't mean you have tocompletely push them out of your
life, but really surroundingyourself with people that are
(11:52):
supporting you being the bestversion of yourself.
And it's okay to fear thatoutgrowing of people, but it's
okay to move on from certainrelationships, friendships, even
coworkers, whatever.
It's okay to move to the nextlevel.
And in order for you to do that, is to get yourself into a
(12:19):
mindset to attract people whoinspire growth, whether that be
mentorships, communities,retreats, doing experiences like
this.
And it doesn't have to be yougoing to a sweat lodge in Mexico
.
It could be something simplethat maybe you've wanted to do
that but maybe you're shy oryou're kind of scared to do
something by yourself.
(12:40):
I promise you it's getting, youknow, pushing through that
uncomfortableness where you'regoing to make big strides in
your life.
Because when I walked out ofthere and Nate and I were kind
of on a high, it was just weirdand he took a different.
He got a lot out of it too andhe also was pretty emotional and
everybody was actually when wegot out of there.
(13:02):
And again, I didn't know.
These were all strangers, butthey became fast friends just
with that shared experience, butit was just all pushing
yourself to a level you didn'tthink you could go.
I was so proud of myself.
I was so proud of myself fornot giving up, not just on
myself.
I was proud that I didn't giveup for the community that was in
that sweat lodge as well.
(13:23):
And strength comes fromenduring, not avoiding,
challenges.
The discomfort is temporary,but the transformation that
happened that day was lastingfor me and I realized that the
community is just.
It's a catalyst.
When we grow together, we growstronger.
And I I want you to just figureout in your life how is your
(13:50):
community pushing you in yourown life or keeping you stagnant
?
And I challenge you to pushyourself out of your own comfort
zone.
Light at the end of that tunnel, for you to be proud of
yourself and I know this issounds pretty corny, but since
(14:16):
then I've done other things thathave pushed me to the edge of
being uncomfortable, but I'vegotten to the other side of it
things at work, thingsphysically and I say to myself
now, like I'm so proud of youI'll sometimes I say it out loud
and I know that sounds cornybut I am proud of myself now
more and more and the creatingof that community, of making
sure that I'm around people thatare like high quality mindset,
(14:40):
not gossiping, not complainingall the time, you know, really
sharing ideas and supportingeach other.
It's just more important to menow more than ever.
So I wanted to tell you aboutthat amazing experience.
I highly recommend you dosomething to come out of your
comfort zone and also to justtake a look at your circle and
(15:01):
if you don't have a good circle,start making one.
It's never too late.
It is never too late foranything in your life.
I mean, look at me now talkingabout engagement.
I'm in my late forties and I amso excited to get married and I
feel like this is such like,for the first time, the
healthiest, most beautifulrelationship I've been in.
(15:22):
So never give up on anything inyour life.
And speaking of giving up theproject that I wanted to talk to
you guys about, this show it'sactually my dream Talk show.

First of all, everyone's sosweet.
Thank you for all your kindwords.
The engagement was sounexpected.
It was such a surprise.
It was so funny and romanticand thoughtful.
So maybe Nate will be on thepodcast and we can talk about
(01:11):
how he did it.
It was awesome, and I'm soexcited about wedding planning.
I keep going back and forthlike let's do it here.
No, let's do this, and so we'rejust starting the planning, but
it's all so exciting and I justyeah, I'm very, very happy,
obviously, and so thank you forall of that.
(01:32):
I also want to share a newproject that I'm working with.
Um, after I talked to you aboutthis, what lodge experience?
Um, so stay at the end so I cantell you all about the new show
that I'm working on.
Stay at the end so I can tellyou all about the new show that
I'm working on.
But the whole purpose of thisepisode is to talk to you about
the sweat lodge that Iexperienced a few months ago and
(01:52):
what I took from it and what Ilearned from this experience,
which I was not expecting.
So a few months ago, right aftermy birthday, right before the
new year, nate and I went toSayulita, mexico, which is about
an hour away from PuertoVallarta, and I signed us up for
this sweat lodge.
(02:12):
It's called Temazcal and, thankGod, nate is just such a
trooper.
He will basically try anythingwith me, which I'm so grateful
for, because sometimes I havesome pretty kooky ideas, but
he's such a good sport and so Isigned us up, thinking, okay, I
could do a sweat lodge, like Ilove being warm and I love
saunas and I love the seatheater in my car, I love hot
(02:38):
showers.
Let me tell you something.
This was something else.
So we get to this sort of placethat has this igloo it looks
like a stone igloo in the cornernext to this cold plunge pool,
and there's a shaman there andhe greets us and there's people
(03:00):
trickling in.
There's probably about 12 of usat the end who are in this
Tamaskal, which really does looklike an igloo, and before that
the shaman who's in charge has aset intentions.
Now this is like an ancientritual.
They've been doing this forhundreds and hundreds of years
(03:21):
and I decided to do it.
I was just very curious.
But people do it for healing,they do it for self-discovery.
I just was curious to trysomething new and to sort of
push my boundary.
Now, I didn't realize how muchI was going to push.
I really did not realize howdifficult this was going to be,
but it just was intense.
(03:42):
The intensity of the heat andjust the entire, just
uncomfortableness pushed me tothe edge.
So we walk, we do the intentions, everybody sort of prays and
meditates for a little bit, weget saged and then, one by one,
(04:04):
while we're doing this, they'reheating up these stones and so
they start piling it into themiddle of the room in the igloo
inside and we get in and it'shot, I mean, I'm uncomfortable,
but it wasn't that bad.
And once everybody gets piledin and they put up in all the
rocks and you, you know it'svery, it's very serious.
(04:25):
It's every time a rock comesyou sort of give it a prayer and
thank it.
And then I know that they weregoing to close the opening with
this blanket.
But I'm thinking, okay, it's ablanket, so I'll be able to just
like see the sun through it.
As soon as they closed thatblanket, it was so thick, it was
completely pitch black in there.
I couldn't see anything, whichI started panicking just with
(04:48):
that alone.
Forget about the heat.
I was just.
It was pitch pitch black and itwas hot, it was humid in there
and you know I've meditated, soI started just calming my brain
down low.
You know, deep breaths, slowbreaths, and I calmed myself to
calm myself down.
Now I didn't realize howintense the heat was going to
(05:10):
get.
Again, I've done hot yogabefore in 110 degree rooms.
This was nothing like that.
The heat was so intense that Ithink goodness had a like a
cotton shirt that I brought inthere wrapped around my waist.
I put it over my face because Ifelt like it was burning and it
(05:33):
was just intense and that youdo four rounds At least we did
at this experience.
You did four rounds and it wasabout 10 minutes each.
So after the first round I feltlike I had already pushed myself
to the limit and I kind of gaveNate a look like I don't know
if I could do this three moretimes and he kind of gave me
this nod.
We didn't talk at all.
And then, after the secondround, I just started really
(05:58):
getting emotional and I think Iwas just holding grief in from
losing Harper.
I was just holding grief infrom losing Harper, which I'm
still dealing with and I juststarted crying.
Really I was just letting go ofall this emotion.
And again, it was hot.
I was crying but I just didn'tum worry about anybody else in
(06:19):
that room because they werechanting during this time and
they had drums in there, so Idon't even think anybody could
hear me crying, not that I evencared because I was so hot.
But after that after that secondtime they kind of open up the
blanket to let some air in andfor you to reset before they do
it the second and third time.
And Nate looked at me like youknow we could leave now.
(06:42):
But I gave him the look, thelook like no, we're going to get
through this.
And we did, and I couldn'tbelieve it.
Especially at the last sort ofround.
I really, really feltuncomfortable, like really
uncomfortable, like I don'tthink I could do this.
But what happened was I,secretly, was hoping somebody
(07:05):
else gave up, because I wasthinking to myself if somebody
else gets up and leaves, thenthat gives me the permission to
get up and leave too.
And nobody did, no one in thatroom.
And everybody in that room wasfrom different walks of the
earth, like older, younger inthat room, was from different
walks of the earth, like older,younger, and everybody had their
(07:27):
own intention of going in there.
But no one gave up At the end.
And I'm telling you it wasreally uncomfortable.
I thought I was going to getsick, I thought I may vomit, I
thought I was going to maybepass out and the heat was just
so uncomfortable.
But I just had my mindset on ifnobody else gives up on this,
I'm not going to give up on this.
And when we all kind of cameout, we all gave each other this
(07:51):
weird nod of congratulationsand acknowledged each other's
strengths.
Again, I didn't know any ofthese people.
We were in the cold plunge.
Everybody got out, we weredrinking really nutritious teas
and juices and they hadwatermelon for us.
Everybody was sort of sharingtheir experience.
But what I took out of it wasthe importance of community.
(08:14):
And this is coming fromsomebody who's ultra independent
.
I don't have a problem going todinner by myself, going to the
movies by myself.
I have vacationed alone.
Some of my friends think I'mcrazy because of it, but no, I
just came out of that realizingcommunity is so important
(08:35):
because and the company that youkeep in your life is so
important, because if anyoneelse would have given up on that
sweat lodge and that experience, I would have given up on
myself.
And I started thinking howimportant it is to surround
myself with people that arelike-minded, who are
(08:55):
goal-oriented or at least wantto up-level their life, because
if you surround yourself withstagnant people who just want to
stay the same and not grow inany category of their life
chances are.
It's going to become contagiousto you.
And if people don't grow andyou're not around people who are
pushing you to grow too and bethe best version of yourself,
(09:18):
you're not going to because it'sharder, it's very difficult to
do it if you don't have acommunity pushing you.
And I realized none of thosepeople gave up on themselves,
which gave me the courage to notgive up on myself.
And who knows, maybe if I wouldhave walked out, somebody else
would have walked out too.
I don't know, because we allstayed in there together.
But the group inside it wasthis sort of shared space of
(09:41):
vulnerability and endurance andthat really impacted my mindset
and I wonder how often do wepush ourselves further when we
see others doing the same?
The group energy sort ofamplifies this resilience and it
shifted from this individualstruggle that I was going
(10:02):
through to this sort ofcollective and that reflects in
my real life.
I didn't realize until then Iknow that sounds silly, but even
Nate agreed that had somebodygiven up I think it was little
by little people would havetrickled out, and that's the
(10:22):
idea that we tend to match theenergy of those around us and if
we surround ourselves withpeople who are stagnant, we may
stay stagnant ourselves.
So it's important to choose tobe in the rooms where people are
pushing themselves, they'reevolving, they're doing hard
things and in doing that hardthing, in that sweat lodge that
day, I realized that beingreally uncomfortable it's for
(10:43):
the most part not always, butfor the most part it's just
temporary and getting out ofthat and pushing through it
that's where the growth happens.
And I'm somebody who loves tobe comfortable.
I try to keep my housecomfortable and I realize it's
in those uncomfortable timeswhere I grow the most and I want
(11:05):
to continue to do that in mylife.
I just wonder have you ever heldyourself back because of the
company that you keep to, toreally assess your inner circle,
to do inventory?
Are the people around you?
Are they inspiring you to douncomfortable things or go to
the next level?
Are they draining you or arethey just keeping you in the
same spot?
Sometimes people around you,even if you want to evolve into
(11:29):
a new person, they want you tostay the same because it feels
comfortable to them or they lovethat version of you.
But if you've outgrown who thatis, it's okay to outgrow people,
it's okay to move on.
And by outgrowing people.
It doesn't mean you have tocompletely push them out of your
life, but really surroundingyourself with people that are
(11:52):
supporting you being the bestversion of yourself.
And it's okay to fear thatoutgrowing of people, but it's
okay to move on from certainrelationships, friendships, even
coworkers, whatever.
It's okay to move to the nextlevel.
And in order for you to do that, is to get yourself into a
(12:19):
mindset to attract people whoinspire growth, whether that be
mentorships, communities,retreats, doing experiences like
this.
And it doesn't have to be yougoing to a sweat lodge in Mexico
.
It could be something simplethat maybe you've wanted to do
that but maybe you're shy oryou're kind of scared to do
something by yourself.
(12:40):
I promise you it's getting, youknow, pushing through that
uncomfortableness where you'regoing to make big strides in
your life.
Because when I walked out ofthere and Nate and I were kind
of on a high, it was just weirdand he took a different.
He got a lot out of it too andhe also was pretty emotional and
everybody was actually when wegot out of there.
(13:02):
And again, I didn't know.
These were all strangers, butthey became fast friends just
with that shared experience, butit was just all pushing
yourself to a level you didn'tthink you could go.
I was so proud of myself.
I was so proud of myself fornot giving up, not just on
myself.
I was proud that I didn't giveup for the community that was in
that sweat lodge as well.
(13:23):
And strength comes fromenduring, not avoiding,
challenges.
The discomfort is temporary,but the transformation that
happened that day was lastingfor me and I realized that the
community is just.
It's a catalyst.
When we grow together, we growstronger.
And I I want you to just figureout in your life how is your
(13:50):
community pushing you in yourown life or keeping you stagnant
?
And I challenge you to pushyourself out of your own comfort
zone.
Light at the end of that tunnel, for you to be proud of
yourself and I know this issounds pretty corny, but since
(14:16):
then I've done other things thathave pushed me to the edge of
being uncomfortable, but I'vegotten to the other side of it
things at work, thingsphysically and I say to myself
now, like I'm so proud of youI'll sometimes I say it out loud
and I know that sounds cornybut I am proud of myself now
more and more and the creatingof that community, of making
sure that I'm around people thatare like high quality mindset,
(14:40):
not gossiping, not complainingall the time, you know, really
sharing ideas and supportingeach other.
It's just more important to menow more than ever.
So I wanted to tell you aboutthat amazing experience.
I highly recommend you dosomething to come out of your
comfort zone and also to justtake a look at your circle and
(15:01):
if you don't have a good circle,start making one.
It's never too late.
It is never too late foranything in your life.
I mean, look at me now talkingabout engagement.
I'm in my late forties and I amso excited to get married and I
feel like this is such like,for the first time, the
healthiest, most beautifulrelationship I've been in.
(15:22):
So never give up on anything inyour life.
And speaking of giving up theproject that I wanted to talk to
you guys about, this show it'sactually my dream Talk show.
It's called the sabrina sotoshow.
I've been pitching this ideafor 10 plus years.
I never gave up on the ideabecause it has always been a
(15:42):
dream of mine.
But it has evolved, this idea,and I found the perfect partner.
The design network came andallowed me to really create the
show that I wanted to watch.
So this show is everything I'mpassionate about Home obviously,
organizing, cleaning.
We have chefs coming on,amazing recipes, skincare,
(16:06):
spirituality, care, spirituality, parenting, fitness.
It was all the experts that Ilook up to and are friends of
mine, and I got everyonetogether.
There were 30 guests.
There are 10 shows, threeguests per show, and I promised
you that when you watch thisshow, there's not going to be
one episode that you're notgoing to take something away
from, whether it be a newmodality that you've never tried
(16:28):
before that you might integrateinto your life, or a new recipe
or a new skincare routine.
You are going to love the show.
I have a smile on my face whileI'm editing, in edit and I'm
