In this powerful and intimate episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a transformational practice that changed my life, my business, and my relationships: (I share the type of plant medicine in the episode) Ceremonies
Two years ago, I sat in my first heart-opening plant medicine journey with my husband… and what unfolded was a complete energetic initiation. Since then, this medicine has helped me:
💡 Receive million-dollar business downloads
🧠 Release imposter syndrome and rewrite limiting beliefs
💞 Deepen my connection and communication with my husband
👯♀️ Create soul-aligned friendships rooted in truth and sisterhood
🪞 Heal parts of myself I didn’t even know were running the show
This isn’t just about plant medicine. It’s about remembrance. Returning to your heart. Reclaiming your power.
And now, I’m answering the call to facilitate this work, by holding space for other women to experience the same level of healing, clarity, and embodiment that changed my world.
If your soul feels called, I invite you into The Activated Woman Retreat — a 3-day immersive experience for women ready to rise through sacred ceremony, nervous system healing, and full-body feminine activation.

Welcome to the Money, Mindset, and Manicures podcast, the
ultimate guide to building a life you're obsessed with.
I'm Samantha Kazuch, and I'm here to empower women just like
you to script your dreams into reality and create the life
you've always dreamed of. Get ready to be inspired,
motivated, and empowered as we elevate our lives together.
(00:39):
Hello, hello Queen. Welcome back to another episode
of Money, Mindset and Manicures.Today's episode is a little
different and honestly deeply sacred and super close to my
heart. I'm going to be opening up about
something that I've never recorded a podcast episode
before. I may have dropped little tiny
(00:59):
Nuggets that I do this maybe in previous episodes, but not to
this point of me really sharing and opening up about it.
And I wanted to do this episode because it is time, because this
is something that has completelytransformed my life.
And I it's it's like, you know, when you just know about
(01:21):
something, it gets to a point where it is selfish to not share
the information with others. And you might listen to this
episode and be like, whoa, Sam is fucking crazy.
Or Oh my gosh, this is way too out there for me.
Or you're going to be like, wow,what is this?
I want in and I really want to try it and experience it.
(01:45):
So we're going to be talking about a transformational healing
tool that completely rewired my inner world.
It has helped me unlock $1,000,000 ideas and I'm not
even exaggerating. It has cracked my heart wide
open. And this is the medicine that
led me here. To the version of me who I am
today. To the business that I have that
(02:07):
has grown and it is evolving. To the love that I have with my
husband and to the abundant lifethat we live.
And the medicine is, well, just listen to the episode.
We're going to dive right in. Let me rewind 2 years ago when I
was invited to go to do this quote UN quote plant medicine
ceremony. Mind you, I've never done
(02:30):
anything outside of psilocybin, which is magic mushrooms for
those of you that don't know what psilocybin is.
And honestly, I was kind of not scared, but just kind of like,
oh, like, what is this is weird?Like, what are we doing?
And one of my best girlfriends brought this experience to me
and invited me to come do it. I'm not going to name names.
(02:52):
I know she talks about it on herpodcast, but I'm just going to
keep this kind of anonymous for the sense of I didn't ask her to
use her name in this. We were invited to go do this.
And she told me probably like two or three months ahead of
time. And at the time I was just kind
of like, oh, like I feel like I shouldn't be doing this.
I'm intrigued, but I don't know.I had already felt very called
(03:15):
to go do Ayahuasca, but I hadn'tlike found the experience or the
journey or ceremony space that Iwanted to go experience that in.
And we had also just moved to Austin, TX.
There was a lot going on in my lives.
And I know to go even just like sit with ayahuasca, like that's
like there's a, there's a lot that goes into it pre ayahuasca
(03:36):
ceremony after. And I wanted to make sure I had
the space to experience that. That's my experience with Planet
Innocent. I have none apart from
mushrooms. We were invited and I sat with
it for a couple months and one part of this was my husband.
He is sober so he doesn't drink,do drugs, do nothing.
(03:56):
I was kind of curious about doing this, but at the same time
he was like no, like he's just not going to do it.
Anyways, Fast forward this, the experience comes up, our friends
come into town because they weredoing this in Austin, TX and we
just go meet up with them for dinner because they were they're
in town to do this ceremony and we wanted to meet up with them
(04:18):
prior even though we weren't committed to partaking in this.
But when we got to dinner and wewere having these deep
conversations about it all, we learned more about it and
everything. And my husband looks at me and
he's all like, I think I want todo this.
And I'm like immediately it was a fuck yes for me.
Because at the same time, I knowthat these types of journeys and
ceremonies, they can be so transformational.
(04:40):
My husband and I have now been on this spiritual growth journey
for many years together. I didn't want to go experience
something without him and come back and feel like I had gotten
ahead or left him behind becauseI have already experienced that
in the past with me just hostingmy Sedona Rise retreat, which is
formerly known as the Sedona Goddess retreat.
(05:01):
And Sedona, I'll go on these retreats, have these incredible
experiences, not with plant medicine, just life, just
experience with that retreat. And I would come back and I
would feel shifts in me. I just want us to have these
different experiences together so we both can, for example,
talk about it, integrate together, learn from it, that
kind of the stuff. So when he said when we were
(05:22):
leaving that night, he's like, Ithink I want to do this.
I was like, OK, we're in, we're doing it.
We go through this experience and I can say without a doubt
that this was one of the most spiritually activating, identity
shifting things I have ever donein my life.
And what started as this curiosity and maybe like
(05:43):
hesitancy with it, it became a complete initiation.
And in the ceremony, and I'm going to tell you the plant
medicine, but the last thing I want you to do right now is just
go Google it because one, our government is going to put
things on websites and put things to the forefront.
So people do not tap into this medicine because it will
literally change your effing life.
(06:04):
It will change you. And of course, when things
change you, right, what happens?You elevate, you open up your
consciousness, you heal, right? And I'm sorry, but if you don't
agree with this part, then maybethis podcast isn't for you.
But if you do not believe that our government and things that
are legal or illegal, they're not trying to just dumb us down
all the time, then this might benot be the podcast for you.
But I feel like if you've been on this journey with me
(06:25):
listening to episodes, you know that a lot of things that are
illegal are because they are actually really good for us.
And it can help us unlock new levels of ourselves, of our
minds, of our consciousness thatjust make us be the most
incredible humans. In this ceremony, we used
(06:46):
sassafras, which is also known as MDMA.
If you have done drugs before, right, that could be known as
like Molly. But sassafras is the actual
plant and MDMA is actually the chemical man made version of
that plant. What happens is in these
ceremonies the mind quiets but the heart speaks and that's why
(07:09):
this medicine is known as a heart opener.
If you are ever researching or learning about plant medicine
ceremonies, they will kind of tell you what type of medicine
it is. Sassafras is a heart openers and
what I heard, what I saw and what I felt was the version of
me that had always been waiting.It helped me download the
(07:31):
Clearest Visions for my business.
It helped me tap into this womanthat I had been envisioning like
that higher self woman. I was able to feel her, meet
her, help her heal. And I'm going to get into all
the different aspects of what this medicine because at this
point, we have now sat with Sassafras multiple times over
(07:54):
the last two years because we have just been growing and
expanding at such fast levels. And when you do these
ceremonies, you then integrate and then you go into them again
when you feel called and ready. It is just been insane.
Different things have come out of this with healing, with ideas
that have gone on to help me generate hundreds of thousands
of dollars in my business. And a lot of things that came to
(08:17):
the forefront in these ceremonies is that they weren't
forced, they were channeled. It has helped me face imposter
syndrome by not fighting it, butby meeting it with love.
It has helped me to see root patterns, even if I didn't know
they were running my life. And more than anything, it
brought me into deep presence with myself and the people that
(08:43):
I love. So I want to first touch base on
what it did for my marriage. Are you tired of copying and
pasting the same picture on yourvision board over and over and
over again every time you make anew one and you're frustrated
and you're wondering why the heck it hasn't manifested yet?
(09:05):
Well, I want to introduce you tothe LTA Academy.
This is the Academy that I created.
It's not just another program orcourse.
It is a exclusive platform for people who are ready to manifest
real results inside. It is your step by step guide to
transforming your mindset, your money, and your future.
I want you to think about it like the Netflix for
manifestation. It is packed with so many
(09:28):
different videos, tutorials, guided meditations, EFT tapping,
guided sessions with me and members inside over the last few
months have used it to attract and manifest thousands of
dollars in their businesses and their lives, job promotions
they've used to manifest their dream partners, to manifest
weight loss, and so much more. So if you are looking to really
(09:51):

notes and I'm offering you with the link in the show notes, a
free three day trial. I want you to join me because I
want to help you manifest the success that you deserve this
(10:12):
year. I'll see you there.
So I want to first touch base onwhat it did for my marriage.
Mark and I, obviously we just got married in February, so we
were already engaged and we havebeen together now for almost 6
years. One of the most unexpected and
most beautiful things that we experienced throughout these
(10:32):
different journeys together. We call them journeys or
ceremonies. I call them journeys.
It's the same thing intermixed when I say it.
The shifts that it did for our relationship were just holy
crap. When you sit in ceremony with
someone, this can be a partner or even a friend or you know,
just other people in the group. You see each other's souls.
(10:54):
You meet in the space beyond theego.
There's no performance, there's no filter, there's no
pretending. We start with basically a
meditation and it's silence and you quote UN quote drop in.
When you drop into the medicine,when you allowed to like I guess
you would say like when it hits you, you know, you start to feel
it and then you come out of thatand that's when you can start
(11:15):
either having conversations or just like thinking and being in
solitude by yourself. Basically when you are doing it
with the intention to connect, you speak from the heart.
And again, This is why it's called a heart opening medicine.
You cry from the heart, you lovefrom the heart.
The ego is put completely to theside.
And that's why I say there's no performance, there's no filter,
(11:36):
there's no pretending. Everything is just in love.
You love from the heart. For Mark and I, it has
completely deepened our communication.
It's helped us heal wounds. Not that we personally had
wounds with each other, but it'shelped us heal wounds from parts
of ourselves, from maybe previous relationships.
(11:56):
What's been really great with Mark and I is like from day one,
we've had this beautiful, honest, open communication, but
we've also facilitated for couples where, you know, they've
had certain maybe issues come upin their marriage or their
relationship and it's helped allof these things come up to be
able to be healed. And it is so fucking beautiful.
(12:20):
And I just can't even explain the magic, the just the
frequency, the energy that happens in these things.
But it just brings this beautiful softness, this
intimacy, the truth. And for us, it's brought even
more play into our relationship,if that's even possible.
But it really does. It just creates this incredible,
(12:40):
unfiltered, raw bond that also carries over into real life.
Like it's not something that youjust experienced in medicine.
And then you wake up the next day and it's gone.
It fully just fucking becomes a part of you.
So it makes you just a better human.
It makes you better in the relationship.
It is just so, so beautiful. We weren't just married in this,
but we were remembering each other at a soul, soul level.
(13:04):
It was, it's, it's just such a beautiful thing that we get to
experience as a couple. And then we've also done dirty
ceremonies where the other one either isn't there, like maybe
I've done it with like a group of girls or he's gone and done a
journey with like some guys, stuff like that, which you can
use these ceremonies to process different things.
And that's why you start each one, which I guess I missed is
(13:26):
you start it with an intention like usually come to the, to the
journey with something. It doesn't mean that's exactly
and all that you focus on because when you come into this
journey space, like whatever is supposed to come up does and it
is just so freaking amazing. There's been journeys where
they've just been so fun and exciting and happy.
(13:47):
There's been journeys and ceremonies where I've cried and
like go and healed. And it is just such a freaking
beautiful place when it comes tosassafras and doing these
climate ascent journeys. It's not about escaping.
If you're going to take MDMA or Molly or cocaine or whatever,
right? And you're going to go out and
party, like, what are you doing?Like most people's intentions is
(14:09):
they're fucking escaping. They're escaping reality.
When you do this with intention,it's about returning.
You're not escaping reality, youare actually fucking diving
right into it. It's about returning to the
version of you that already knows, that already trusts, that
already feels whole. And this medicine helped me
(14:29):
dissolve the beliefs that we're blocking my next level.
When you're just in it and goingthrough it, you just don't even
think about the future. As far as the like, reflecting
back on it, there's some journalentries that I have.
It's not just the obvious ones, it's the sneaky ones that I got
to uncover through this medicinework.
Like stuff that was blocking my next level.
(14:51):
Stuff that I didn't even know was there.
The belief that I had to earn rest or the belief that I had
that success had to come throughstruggle, or the belief that I
had that I had to do it all alone.
Or that belief of like that impostor syndrome and who was I
to go do and launch a company ora brand or get more followers on
(15:14):
Instagram or do this thing in the other?
Like all of these things startedcoming up and I just had so much
clarity. Like through this ceremony, I
got to see truth, truth that I already am enough, truth that I
am so fucking powerful, truth that I already am safe to hold
more. And from that space, the
(15:35):
clarity, the strategy, the business ideas, all of that that
flow through, Oh my gosh, I became even more aligned with my
purpose. And it all just like literally
like those, those a time where Iwas in journey and ceremony and
towards the end of it, all of this stuff, I've done some
(15:57):
healing work around myself and like some inner childhood and
this stuff just comes up naturally.
There's no like guide, there's no script, there's no questions
that you go through. It is literally just like
flooding through you. Like when I say you're a open
channel, like flowing from source through your heart and
the things that just pop up, it's incredible.
But I ended up writing out a whole entire program in one of
(16:21):
the ceremonies that the next dayI had locked myself in my office
for like a three days straight. No joke.
I was like filming videos for like 12 hours.
It's actually what became the LTA Academy.
That's what it was, which we arecurrently rebranding and
renaming. So if you're listening to this,
it might be called something else.
Most likely it's going to be called elevator, formerly known
(16:42):
as LTE Academy. I did all of that thanks to a
plant medicine ceremony. It came up, came through because
I was struggling with all the content that I'd put out in the
manuscripting sisterhood community.
And even though that wasn't my intended for the ceremony, it
had come up where I'm like all of this content that I'm
filming, all these master classes, they're just kind of
going into the abyss. Like what do I do with all of
(17:02):
this stuff? And it just like came through to
do that. And I literally like for three
days straight just wrote and filmed all of the videos and we
launched it. And now that's that's a six
figure business. It's insane.
That's literally just came from the from that ceremony.
And I had never had those ideas before to create that.
(17:23):
It just all happened. It's really just beautiful for
just expanding your mind and like having the space for these
things to come through the alignment, it becomes so
natural. It's incredible, the personal
healing and sisterhood that comes from this because
sassafras is heart medicine and unlike other plant medicines
that can feel more intense or cerebral, this one softens you
(17:47):
into your feminine. It brings awareness into the
body and into sensation, into intuition, into channeling and
into feeling. And it really opens you up to
love, especially self love. So in ceremony, because as I've
kind of already expressed, we've, I've done this just with
(18:08):
my husband, I've done this in groups, I've done this with just
women, I've done it with men andwomen.
It's a space where I've seen women or men cry for the first
time in years. I've witnessed breakthroughs
around mother wounds, including my own, also around self worth,
body image, burnout. Oh my gosh, just all of it.
(18:30):
And I felt the collective exhaleof sisterhood, especially when
I've sat in this medicine with women where they get to remember
that they don't have to carry itall anymore.
And that's actually the biggest reason why I created the
activated woman Retreat to bringwomen into the sacred space, not
(18:51):
just to heal. Because with the activated
woman, like this isn't just about healing.
Of course they'll be parts that might pop up where it is healing
related, but it's more about to remember who the fuck you are
because we are so blocked thanksto our society environment,
being told what to do, who to be, all of that.
Like what I love about this medicine is it just fucking
(19:13):
releases all of that. The ego is put to the side.
Not saying we got to kill the ego, we love the ego, but a lot
of times it's the thing that holds us back now really after
after two years of working with this medicine and facilitating
for small groups of friends and this is like been unsolicited.
It's not like we're promoting doing this in the past.
(19:33):
It just happened naturally because people started coming to
us and asking us what are you guys doing because your life is
just fucking looks amazing. It's expanding.
You guys are just going for likewhat is going on?
So that's why we have slowly been been doing that already
over the last year. Why is this Sassafras different?
I want to talk about this part specifically because not
(19:56):
everyone listening like you, youprobably have not even heard of
it before. The heart opening medicine.
It's also known as a form of MDMA, but it's far more sacred.
Than the label suggests it doesn't take you out of yourself
it's not like alcohol and this is by the way, since that first
journey two years ago that was when I stopped drinking alcohol
(20:20):
because after that journey I wasin just such an incredible
expanded opened up cracked open new level of consciousness
activated space. It was a couple weeks before the
4th of July and I was in this beautiful space of just not
drinking. I just wanted to just be in this
bliss of not taking me out of it.
And then I went out on the 4th of July.
(20:42):
It was like the day after and I had some drinks and I got drunk
and after that I was all like fuck this, this is terrible.
This just dumped me the fuck down.
Like this is not how I want to feel.
This is not how I want to treat my body.
This like literally like it was just gross to me.
So after that I was all like, you know what, I want to go back
(21:03):
to that space of how I felt after my first ceremony journey
and I'm like, I'm just not goingto drink the rest of the month.
So I've had all of July. I didn't drink was this hard
totally because I was there was a lot of social events over the
summer and it was hard. I then was like, on this thing
of like, OK, we went out to dinner and of course, what do
you, what did I do at dinner? I would have some drinks and I
(21:25):
was at a dinner and I was like, oh, this isn't worth breaking my
streak of no alcohol. I want to keep going.
And then I just kept doing that over and over and over.
And then all of a sudden now here I am two years, haven't had
a sip of alcohol, haven't cravedit, haven't even wanted it.
If anything, I have such an aversion to it because I'm just
like, you want to know why that shit is legal and stuff like
(21:48):
sassafras is not? Because what does alcohol do?
It dumbs us the fuck down. It makes us so disconnected from
our bodies. It's a poison to your body.
It's escapism. When do we drink alcohol, right?
Oh, we want it to relax after a long day.
Why? Why?
So you don't have to worry aboutthings.
I you completely lose connectionfrom yourself.
(22:09):
What I really love about this medicine is it doesn't take you
out of yourself. You're not escaping reality.
You're like literally facing reality straight on.
It brings you back in and it helps you access this clarity,
this connection, this love and truth without the overwhelm or
intensity that some other plant medicines carrying.
(22:30):
For example, ayahuasca is like kind of like the top, top of
like plant medicine world. Like that is deep.
That is tough. That's why I haven't even fully
felt called to do it because I've had so much deep, beautiful
work that's happened and transformed in my life with this
medicine that I don't feel called yet.
And I truly believe you go do like ayahuasca are some of the
other plant medicines when you feel called and ready and she
(22:52):
will call you to do it. And not just ever since I
started working with Sassafras, I haven't felt the call to go do
that. Do you know that I host in
person retreats? I'm calling all babes who are
ready to experience Sedona with me.
Are you dreaming of a fun girls trip filled with adventure?
(23:15):
How about exploring Sedona? Powerful vortex energy?
Or maybe you're feeling the poleto step out of your comfort zone
and embrace something completelylife changing.
At my Manuscript and Goddess Retreat, you'll spend 5 magical
days in Sedona with me and sevenother women, connecting with
nature, soul healing and transformative workshops and
connecting with like minded women who are on the same
(23:37):
journey as you. From hiking vortexes to
stargazing and realigning with your purpose, this retreat has
everything you need to start manifesting your dream life.
Spots are limited. Reserve yours today by applying
and have the opportunity to get $500 off your trip while the
offer lasts. The link is located down in the
show notes. I hope you join me with SAS.
(24:03):
It's, it's emotional, it's sensual, it's deeply embodied.
If you haven't been able to likereally grasp the effects of
this, it just gives you this massive clarity and intuitive
downloads. It helps your nervous system
relax and it gives you a space to emotionally release without
the ego. How many times have you judged
yourself for being upset or crying or holding yourself back
(24:26):
on things, right? All that's doing is just burying
those emotions deep down inside and eventually that's going to
catch up with you eventually. That's what leads to depression.
That's what leads to panic attacks.
That's what leads to anxiety because we're deeply pushing
down the shit that we're not willing to face or to feel.
And maybe it's because of our ego, you know, we're women, we
(24:48):
shouldn't cry or oh, you know, you should just let that go.
That just affects us on such a deeper level.
And it's going to stunt your growth and evolution as a human.
And it gives you this connectionto your higher self envision
like, Oh my gosh, the the just what I see on this medicine.
And by the way, sassafras is nota psychedelic.
(25:09):
So you do not see things. It's not like magic mushrooms
where you have, you know, a visual experience.
It is, is nothing like that. But the visuals you do see are
from like your own brain, like you feel it, you see it.
You go into these meditative skates, like the way that Mark
and I now use it together when we do journeys together, right?
We'll have a meditation and throughout the evening we'll
(25:31):
like talk about different things, whatever's coming up for
us. And then maybe like an hour or
two and we'll put on another guided meditation and take
ourselves back inwards. And it is just the vision that
you get to see for yourself without judgment is so freaking
beautiful. And it also obviously deepens
love in your relationships, whether they're romantic,
(25:54):
platonic. Like I said, I've journeyed with
friends, I've journeyed with my husband.
And even when it's with friends,it is so fucking beautiful
because for me, I am a natural space holder and I absolutely
love to do that, right? So being able to like sit with
some of your best friends and gothrough this journey, experience
and talk about deep shit and hold space for them or just even
(26:16):
just like talk things openly. Like whether it's giving them
advice or giving them a space totalk, maybe because they
couldn't talk about it with their husband or whatever.
Like it is just so freaking cool.
And the subconscious healing that comes from this without
needing to relive their trauma because you are in your heart
space. It is so freaking good.
(26:40):
It's the medicine for women or even men like, but mostly I
think 99% of women listen to this podcast.
That's what I'm saying women here, but it's for men too.
I think it's even more powerful for men as well to be for them
to be able to tap into this. And This is why my husband and I
both both obviously do this. And most of the ceremonies that
we do do if the if the couple isin a relationship, it is with
(27:02):
husband and wife or boyfriend and girlfriend together because
it is so powerful. But this medicine, it's for the
man or woman who is ready to feel more, to love more, to
receive more, to expand more to like you're just ready to just
take on that freaking world more.
It's amazing over this last yearsomething inside me shifted
(27:23):
again. While working with this
medicine, I started feeling called to not just receive in
ceremony, but to hold it for others.
Now I just want to preface all of this with I am not a shaman.
I want to be very fucking clear about that.
I don't ever want to claim to be1.
I don't aspire to be 1 and this is one of the reasons why I was
(27:47):
so hesitant to even 1. Want to talk about this to
launch the activated woman retreat is because I never ever
ever want to be even put in the same realm as shamans.
That is a fucking gift. Higher level way beyond me.
What I can tell you what I'm very good at is space holding,
(28:09):
being a guide and being a woman who has walked this path and
knows how to create the safest, most loving and most
energetically clean space for others to rise.
And I know I'm great at this, even if we just take a look at
my experience as a retreat host.I've held over 10 non plant
(28:31):
medicine retreats, but over the last four years I've held space
for over 70 women with really transformational weekends
without medicine. And it's something that I
absolutely love to do. And my husband even just like
low key jokes with me every single time I come back from a
retreat that I've hosted, even though I know he's actually
being serious. He's like, this is this should
(28:53):
be something that you lean into and do full time as your career
because he sees how much I not only love curating these types
of spaces and these expensive spaces full in, but how much
like I just, I just love doing it and the transformations they
provide. Even though we've never offered
this type of plant medicine retreat to my community, my
(29:13):
husband and I have been curatingthese sassafras ceremonies for
our closest friends and really helping facilitate experiences
that have helped them uncover truths, heal parts of
themselves. They didn't even realize that
we're holding them back and havewalked away completely changed.
And a lot of them, like they tell us over and over, like how
much they are so grateful that we introduce them to this
(29:36):
medicine and how much it is really changed their lives.
And This is why I'm doing this because as I kind of started
this episode with is like, you know, when you get to a point
where you're just doing something for your life and it's
like kind of like a secret. And not that it's a dirty
speaking. It gets to a point where it is
selfish to not share how transformational this can be
(29:56):
with others. And I guess that's why I'm
really sharing this is because we've been doing this for two
years now and it has just been the most life changing
experience. If you can't already tell from
what you've heard in this episode.
But this medicine, this experience, this container
changed everything for me. And I know it's meant to do the
same for the women who are ready.
(30:19):
If your soul, if your gut, if your intuition as you're
listening to this episode, you're just like, holy shit,
Maybe that was a lot for you to hear.
But you're just like, Oh my gosh, like I am super curious.
I feel the pull. Maybe you were like me when I
first heard about it and you're like, oh, that's weird.
That's why should I do this? I don't know, I want you to sit
(30:42):
with this episode and just like really tap into your soul.
Maybe it will whisper to you. If you know you're ready to rise
to this next level expansion to meet that next level of your
purpose, your heart and your power.
This is your invitation. I am formally inviting you to
the activated woman retreat and to apply for it.
(31:03):
It is a three day immersion where we combine the sacred
plant medicine with this nervoussystem healing, this energetic
recalibration and sisterhood to awaken the woman you already
are. That's the most beautiful thing
about this is like, you're not like coming to this to like turn
into someone. No, we're fucking activating the
woman that is dying to get out from within you that you know
(31:27):
you are meant to be, but you have just been holding back.
Whether it's because of your belief system, maybe it's the
ego, maybe it's just not having the space to be able to tap into
her. This retreat will be a beautiful
safe space container. You will be fully supported.
(31:47):
It is LED with integrity. This is a container that I've
created where breakthroughs willhappen effortlessly and your
life will transform from the inside out.
The application process is open for the activated Woman retreat,
which I take very, very seriously.
Like you are going to fill out an application, you will 100%
having a phone call with me. I just really want to make sure
(32:11):
that each woman that comes into this container is ready for this
experience and this space is intentionally limited to the
number of people because I want to keep this container intimate.
If this episode sparked something in you, I want you to
trust it. Reach out.
If you have questions about it and you want to send me Adm and
ask me about it, please do so. You can apply by clicking the
(32:34):
link down in the show notes and let's have a conversation about
it. I'll be fully honest with you if
you're ready for it or not. Like I'm telling you, this isn't
something where I'm just going to let and actually majority of
my spaces in containers. Like I'm not going to allow you
to come into a container that I know you are not ready for.
And I've had plenty of experience now around this
medicine when I know somebody who's ready for it or not.
(32:54):
I know you're next level is already waiting and I cannot
wait to meet you there. So I hope you enjoyed this
episode. I am low key nervous and excited
to actually hit publish on it because you know that this is a,
this is a big part of me. But I hope and I know my
intention behind it is that it'sintroducing you to something
(33:18):
that has the potential to completely transform your life
in the most beautiful way. So I thank you for listening.
I love you and have a beautiful rest of your day.
Welcome to the Money, Mindset, and Manicures podcast, the
ultimate guide to building a life you're obsessed with.
I'm Samantha Kazuch, and I'm here to empower women just like
you to script your dreams into reality and create the life
you've always dreamed of. Get ready to be inspired,
motivated, and empowered as we elevate our lives together.
(00:39):
Hello, hello Queen. Welcome back to another episode
of Money, Mindset and Manicures.Today's episode is a little
different and honestly deeply sacred and super close to my
heart. I'm going to be opening up about
something that I've never recorded a podcast episode
before. I may have dropped little tiny
(00:59):
Nuggets that I do this maybe in previous episodes, but not to
this point of me really sharing and opening up about it.
And I wanted to do this episode because it is time, because this
is something that has completelytransformed my life.
And I it's it's like, you know, when you just know about
(01:21):
something, it gets to a point where it is selfish to not share
the information with others. And you might listen to this
episode and be like, whoa, Sam is fucking crazy.
Or Oh my gosh, this is way too out there for me.
Or you're going to be like, wow,what is this?
I want in and I really want to try it and experience it.
(01:45):
So we're going to be talking about a transformational healing
tool that completely rewired my inner world.
It has helped me unlock $1,000,000 ideas and I'm not
even exaggerating. It has cracked my heart wide
open. And this is the medicine that
led me here. To the version of me who I am
today. To the business that I have that
(02:07):
has grown and it is evolving. To the love that I have with my
husband and to the abundant lifethat we live.
And the medicine is, well, just listen to the episode.
We're going to dive right in. Let me rewind 2 years ago when I
was invited to go to do this quote UN quote plant medicine
ceremony. Mind you, I've never done
(02:30):
anything outside of psilocybin, which is magic mushrooms for
those of you that don't know what psilocybin is.
And honestly, I was kind of not scared, but just kind of like,
oh, like, what is this is weird?Like, what are we doing?
And one of my best girlfriends brought this experience to me
and invited me to come do it. I'm not going to name names.
(02:52):
I know she talks about it on herpodcast, but I'm just going to
keep this kind of anonymous for the sense of I didn't ask her to
use her name in this. We were invited to go do this.
And she told me probably like two or three months ahead of
time. And at the time I was just kind
of like, oh, like I feel like I shouldn't be doing this.
I'm intrigued, but I don't know.I had already felt very called
(03:15):
to go do Ayahuasca, but I hadn'tlike found the experience or the
journey or ceremony space that Iwanted to go experience that in.
And we had also just moved to Austin, TX.
There was a lot going on in my lives.
And I know to go even just like sit with ayahuasca, like that's
like there's a, there's a lot that goes into it pre ayahuasca
(03:36):
ceremony after. And I wanted to make sure I had
the space to experience that. That's my experience with Planet
Innocent. I have none apart from
mushrooms. We were invited and I sat with
it for a couple months and one part of this was my husband.
He is sober so he doesn't drink,do drugs, do nothing.
(03:56):
I was kind of curious about doing this, but at the same time
he was like no, like he's just not going to do it.
Anyways, Fast forward this, the experience comes up, our friends
come into town because they weredoing this in Austin, TX and we
just go meet up with them for dinner because they were they're
in town to do this ceremony and we wanted to meet up with them
(04:18):
prior even though we weren't committed to partaking in this.
But when we got to dinner and wewere having these deep
conversations about it all, we learned more about it and
everything. And my husband looks at me and
he's all like, I think I want todo this.
And I'm like immediately it was a fuck yes for me.
Because at the same time, I knowthat these types of journeys and
ceremonies, they can be so transformational.
(04:40):
My husband and I have now been on this spiritual growth journey
for many years together. I didn't want to go experience
something without him and come back and feel like I had gotten
ahead or left him behind becauseI have already experienced that
in the past with me just hostingmy Sedona Rise retreat, which is
formerly known as the Sedona Goddess retreat.
(05:01):
And Sedona, I'll go on these retreats, have these incredible
experiences, not with plant medicine, just life, just
experience with that retreat. And I would come back and I
would feel shifts in me. I just want us to have these
different experiences together so we both can, for example,
talk about it, integrate together, learn from it, that
kind of the stuff. So when he said when we were
(05:22):
leaving that night, he's like, Ithink I want to do this.
I was like, OK, we're in, we're doing it.
We go through this experience and I can say without a doubt
that this was one of the most spiritually activating, identity
shifting things I have ever donein my life.
And what started as this curiosity and maybe like
(05:43):
hesitancy with it, it became a complete initiation.
And in the ceremony, and I'm going to tell you the plant
medicine, but the last thing I want you to do right now is just
go Google it because one, our government is going to put
things on websites and put things to the forefront.
So people do not tap into this medicine because it will
literally change your effing life.
(06:04):
It will change you. And of course, when things
change you, right, what happens?You elevate, you open up your
consciousness, you heal, right? And I'm sorry, but if you don't
agree with this part, then maybethis podcast isn't for you.
But if you do not believe that our government and things that
are legal or illegal, they're not trying to just dumb us down
all the time, then this might benot be the podcast for you.
But I feel like if you've been on this journey with me
(06:25):
listening to episodes, you know that a lot of things that are
illegal are because they are actually really good for us.
And it can help us unlock new levels of ourselves, of our
minds, of our consciousness thatjust make us be the most
incredible humans. In this ceremony, we used
(06:46):
sassafras, which is also known as MDMA.
If you have done drugs before, right, that could be known as
like Molly. But sassafras is the actual
plant and MDMA is actually the chemical man made version of
that plant. What happens is in these
ceremonies the mind quiets but the heart speaks and that's why
(07:09):
this medicine is known as a heart opener.
If you are ever researching or learning about plant medicine
ceremonies, they will kind of tell you what type of medicine
it is. Sassafras is a heart openers and
what I heard, what I saw and what I felt was the version of
me that had always been waiting.It helped me download the
(07:31):
Clearest Visions for my business.
It helped me tap into this womanthat I had been envisioning like
that higher self woman. I was able to feel her, meet
her, help her heal. And I'm going to get into all
the different aspects of what this medicine because at this
point, we have now sat with Sassafras multiple times over
(07:54):
the last two years because we have just been growing and
expanding at such fast levels. And when you do these
ceremonies, you then integrate and then you go into them again
when you feel called and ready. It is just been insane.
Different things have come out of this with healing, with ideas
that have gone on to help me generate hundreds of thousands
of dollars in my business. And a lot of things that came to
(08:17):
the forefront in these ceremonies is that they weren't
forced, they were channeled. It has helped me face imposter
syndrome by not fighting it, butby meeting it with love.
It has helped me to see root patterns, even if I didn't know
they were running my life. And more than anything, it
brought me into deep presence with myself and the people that
(08:43):
I love. So I want to first touch base on
what it did for my marriage. Are you tired of copying and
pasting the same picture on yourvision board over and over and
over again every time you make anew one and you're frustrated
and you're wondering why the heck it hasn't manifested yet?
(09:05):
Well, I want to introduce you tothe LTA Academy.
This is the Academy that I created.
It's not just another program orcourse.
It is a exclusive platform for people who are ready to manifest
real results inside. It is your step by step guide to
transforming your mindset, your money, and your future.
I want you to think about it like the Netflix for
manifestation. It is packed with so many
(09:28):
different videos, tutorials, guided meditations, EFT tapping,
guided sessions with me and members inside over the last few
months have used it to attract and manifest thousands of
dollars in their businesses and their lives, job promotions
they've used to manifest their dream partners, to manifest
weight loss, and so much more. So if you are looking to really
(09:51):
transform your 2025 and actuallymanifest the things that are on
your vision board, go to livetransformationaccelerator.com
right now. Link down below in the show
notes and I'm offering you with the link in the show notes, a
free three day trial. I want you to join me because I
want to help you manifest the success that you deserve this
(10:12):
year. I'll see you there.
So I want to first touch base onwhat it did for my marriage.
Mark and I, obviously we just got married in February, so we
were already engaged and we havebeen together now for almost 6
years. One of the most unexpected and
most beautiful things that we experienced throughout these
(10:32):
different journeys together. We call them journeys or
ceremonies. I call them journeys.
It's the same thing intermixed when I say it.
The shifts that it did for our relationship were just holy
crap. When you sit in ceremony with
someone, this can be a partner or even a friend or you know,
just other people in the group. You see each other's souls.
(10:54):
You meet in the space beyond theego.
There's no performance, there's no filter, there's no
pretending. We start with basically a
meditation and it's silence and you quote UN quote drop in.
When you drop into the medicine,when you allowed to like I guess
you would say like when it hits you, you know, you start to feel
it and then you come out of thatand that's when you can start
(11:15):
either having conversations or just like thinking and being in
solitude by yourself. Basically when you are doing it
with the intention to connect, you speak from the heart.
And again, This is why it's called a heart opening medicine.
You cry from the heart, you lovefrom the heart.
The ego is put completely to theside.
And that's why I say there's no performance, there's no filter,
(11:36):
there's no pretending. Everything is just in love.
You love from the heart. For Mark and I, it has
completely deepened our communication.
It's helped us heal wounds. Not that we personally had
wounds with each other, but it'shelped us heal wounds from parts
of ourselves, from maybe previous relationships.
(11:56):
What's been really great with Mark and I is like from day one,
we've had this beautiful, honest, open communication, but
we've also facilitated for couples where, you know, they've
had certain maybe issues come upin their marriage or their
relationship and it's helped allof these things come up to be
able to be healed. And it is so fucking beautiful.
(12:20):
And I just can't even explain the magic, the just the
frequency, the energy that happens in these things.
But it just brings this beautiful softness, this
intimacy, the truth. And for us, it's brought even
more play into our relationship,if that's even possible.
But it really does. It just creates this incredible,
(12:40):
unfiltered, raw bond that also carries over into real life.
Like it's not something that youjust experienced in medicine.
And then you wake up the next day and it's gone.
It fully just fucking becomes a part of you.
So it makes you just a better human.
It makes you better in the relationship.
It is just so, so beautiful. We weren't just married in this,
but we were remembering each other at a soul, soul level.
(13:04):
It was, it's, it's just such a beautiful thing that we get to
experience as a couple. And then we've also done dirty
ceremonies where the other one either isn't there, like maybe
I've done it with like a group of girls or he's gone and done a
journey with like some guys, stuff like that, which you can
use these ceremonies to process different things.
And that's why you start each one, which I guess I missed is
(13:26):
you start it with an intention like usually come to the, to the
journey with something. It doesn't mean that's exactly
and all that you focus on because when you come into this
journey space, like whatever is supposed to come up does and it
is just so freaking amazing. There's been journeys where
they've just been so fun and exciting and happy.
(13:47):
There's been journeys and ceremonies where I've cried and
like go and healed. And it is just such a freaking
beautiful place when it comes tosassafras and doing these
climate ascent journeys. It's not about escaping.
If you're going to take MDMA or Molly or cocaine or whatever,
right? And you're going to go out and
party, like, what are you doing?Like most people's intentions is
(14:09):
they're fucking escaping. They're escaping reality.
When you do this with intention,it's about returning.
You're not escaping reality, youare actually fucking diving
right into it. It's about returning to the
version of you that already knows, that already trusts, that
already feels whole. And this medicine helped me
(14:29):
dissolve the beliefs that we're blocking my next level.
When you're just in it and goingthrough it, you just don't even
think about the future. As far as the like, reflecting
back on it, there's some journalentries that I have.
It's not just the obvious ones, it's the sneaky ones that I got
to uncover through this medicinework.
Like stuff that was blocking my next level.
(14:51):
Stuff that I didn't even know was there.
The belief that I had to earn rest or the belief that I had
that success had to come throughstruggle, or the belief that I
had that I had to do it all alone.
Or that belief of like that impostor syndrome and who was I
to go do and launch a company ora brand or get more followers on
(15:14):
Instagram or do this thing in the other?
Like all of these things startedcoming up and I just had so much
clarity. Like through this ceremony, I
got to see truth, truth that I already am enough, truth that I
am so fucking powerful, truth that I already am safe to hold
more. And from that space, the
(15:35):
clarity, the strategy, the business ideas, all of that that
flow through, Oh my gosh, I became even more aligned with my
purpose. And it all just like literally
like those, those a time where Iwas in journey and ceremony and
towards the end of it, all of this stuff, I've done some
(15:57):
healing work around myself and like some inner childhood and
this stuff just comes up naturally.
There's no like guide, there's no script, there's no questions
that you go through. It is literally just like
flooding through you. Like when I say you're a open
channel, like flowing from source through your heart and
the things that just pop up, it's incredible.
But I ended up writing out a whole entire program in one of
(16:21):
the ceremonies that the next dayI had locked myself in my office
for like a three days straight. No joke.
I was like filming videos for like 12 hours.
It's actually what became the LTA Academy.
That's what it was, which we arecurrently rebranding and
renaming. So if you're listening to this,
it might be called something else.
Most likely it's going to be called elevator, formerly known
(16:42):
as LTE Academy. I did all of that thanks to a
plant medicine ceremony. It came up, came through because
I was struggling with all the content that I'd put out in the
manuscripting sisterhood community.
And even though that wasn't my intended for the ceremony, it
had come up where I'm like all of this content that I'm
filming, all these master classes, they're just kind of
going into the abyss. Like what do I do with all of
(17:02):
this stuff? And it just like came through to
do that. And I literally like for three
days straight just wrote and filmed all of the videos and we
launched it. And now that's that's a six
figure business. It's insane.
That's literally just came from the from that ceremony.
And I had never had those ideas before to create that.
(17:23):
It just all happened. It's really just beautiful for
just expanding your mind and like having the space for these
things to come through the alignment, it becomes so
natural. It's incredible, the personal
healing and sisterhood that comes from this because
sassafras is heart medicine and unlike other plant medicines
that can feel more intense or cerebral, this one softens you
(17:47):
into your feminine. It brings awareness into the
body and into sensation, into intuition, into channeling and
into feeling. And it really opens you up to
love, especially self love. So in ceremony, because as I've
kind of already expressed, we've, I've done this just with
(18:08):
my husband, I've done this in groups, I've done this with just
women, I've done it with men andwomen.
It's a space where I've seen women or men cry for the first
time in years. I've witnessed breakthroughs
around mother wounds, including my own, also around self worth,
body image, burnout. Oh my gosh, just all of it.
(18:30):
And I felt the collective exhaleof sisterhood, especially when
I've sat in this medicine with women where they get to remember
that they don't have to carry itall anymore.
And that's actually the biggest reason why I created the
activated woman Retreat to bringwomen into the sacred space, not
(18:51):
just to heal. Because with the activated
woman, like this isn't just about healing.
Of course they'll be parts that might pop up where it is healing
related, but it's more about to remember who the fuck you are
because we are so blocked thanksto our society environment,
being told what to do, who to be, all of that.
Like what I love about this medicine is it just fucking
(19:13):
releases all of that. The ego is put to the side.
Not saying we got to kill the ego, we love the ego, but a lot
of times it's the thing that holds us back now really after
after two years of working with this medicine and facilitating
for small groups of friends and this is like been unsolicited.
It's not like we're promoting doing this in the past.
(19:33):
It just happened naturally because people started coming to
us and asking us what are you guys doing because your life is
just fucking looks amazing. It's expanding.
You guys are just going for likewhat is going on?
So that's why we have slowly been been doing that already
over the last year. Why is this Sassafras different?
I want to talk about this part specifically because not
(19:56):
everyone listening like you, youprobably have not even heard of
it before. The heart opening medicine.
It's also known as a form of MDMA, but it's far more sacred.
Than the label suggests it doesn't take you out of yourself
it's not like alcohol and this is by the way, since that first
journey two years ago that was when I stopped drinking alcohol
(20:20):
because after that journey I wasin just such an incredible
expanded opened up cracked open new level of consciousness
activated space. It was a couple weeks before the
4th of July and I was in this beautiful space of just not
drinking. I just wanted to just be in this
bliss of not taking me out of it.
And then I went out on the 4th of July.
(20:42):
It was like the day after and I had some drinks and I got drunk
and after that I was all like fuck this, this is terrible.
This just dumped me the fuck down.
Like this is not how I want to feel.
This is not how I want to treat my body.
This like literally like it was just gross to me.
So after that I was all like, you know what, I want to go back
(21:03):
to that space of how I felt after my first ceremony journey
and I'm like, I'm just not goingto drink the rest of the month.
So I've had all of July. I didn't drink was this hard
totally because I was there was a lot of social events over the
summer and it was hard. I then was like, on this thing
of like, OK, we went out to dinner and of course, what do
you, what did I do at dinner? I would have some drinks and I
(21:25):
was at a dinner and I was like, oh, this isn't worth breaking my
streak of no alcohol. I want to keep going.
And then I just kept doing that over and over and over.
And then all of a sudden now here I am two years, haven't had
a sip of alcohol, haven't cravedit, haven't even wanted it.
If anything, I have such an aversion to it because I'm just
like, you want to know why that shit is legal and stuff like
(21:48):
sassafras is not? Because what does alcohol do?
It dumbs us the fuck down. It makes us so disconnected from
our bodies. It's a poison to your body.
It's escapism. When do we drink alcohol, right?
Oh, we want it to relax after a long day.
Why? Why?
So you don't have to worry aboutthings.
I you completely lose connectionfrom yourself.
(22:09):
What I really love about this medicine is it doesn't take you
out of yourself. You're not escaping reality.
You're like literally facing reality straight on.
It brings you back in and it helps you access this clarity,
this connection, this love and truth without the overwhelm or
intensity that some other plant medicines carrying.
(22:30):
For example, ayahuasca is like kind of like the top, top of
like plant medicine world. Like that is deep.
That is tough. That's why I haven't even fully
felt called to do it because I've had so much deep, beautiful
work that's happened and transformed in my life with this
medicine that I don't feel called yet.
And I truly believe you go do like ayahuasca are some of the
other plant medicines when you feel called and ready and she
(22:52):
will call you to do it. And not just ever since I
started working with Sassafras, I haven't felt the call to go do
that. Do you know that I host in
person retreats? I'm calling all babes who are

(24:03):
It's, it's emotional, it's sensual, it's deeply embodied.
If you haven't been able to likereally grasp the effects of
this, it just gives you this massive clarity and intuitive
downloads. It helps your nervous system
relax and it gives you a space to emotionally release without
the ego. How many times have you judged
yourself for being upset or crying or holding yourself back
(24:26):
on things, right? All that's doing is just burying
those emotions deep down inside and eventually that's going to
catch up with you eventually. That's what leads to depression.
That's what leads to panic attacks.
That's what leads to anxiety because we're deeply pushing
down the shit that we're not willing to face or to feel.
And maybe it's because of our ego, you know, we're women, we
(24:48):
shouldn't cry or oh, you know, you should just let that go.
That just affects us on such a deeper level.
And it's going to stunt your growth and evolution as a human.
And it gives you this connectionto your higher self envision
like, Oh my gosh, the the just what I see on this medicine.
And by the way, sassafras is nota psychedelic.
(25:09):
So you do not see things. It's not like magic mushrooms
where you have, you know, a visual experience.
It is, is nothing like that. But the visuals you do see are
from like your own brain, like you feel it, you see it.
You go into these meditative skates, like the way that Mark
and I now use it together when we do journeys together, right?
We'll have a meditation and throughout the evening we'll
(25:31):
like talk about different things, whatever's coming up for
us. And then maybe like an hour or
two and we'll put on another guided meditation and take
ourselves back inwards. And it is just the vision that
you get to see for yourself without judgment is so freaking
beautiful. And it also obviously deepens
love in your relationships, whether they're romantic,
(25:54):
platonic. Like I said, I've journeyed with
friends, I've journeyed with my husband.
And even when it's with friends,it is so fucking beautiful
because for me, I am a natural space holder and I absolutely
love to do that, right? So being able to like sit with
some of your best friends and gothrough this journey, experience
and talk about deep shit and hold space for them or just even
(26:16):
just like talk things openly. Like whether it's giving them
advice or giving them a space totalk, maybe because they
couldn't talk about it with their husband or whatever.
Like it is just so freaking cool.
And the subconscious healing that comes from this without
needing to relive their trauma because you are in your heart
space. It is so freaking good.
(26:40):
It's the medicine for women or even men like, but mostly I
think 99% of women listen to this podcast.
That's what I'm saying women here, but it's for men too.
I think it's even more powerful for men as well to be for them
to be able to tap into this. And This is why my husband and I
both both obviously do this. And most of the ceremonies that
we do do if the if the couple isin a relationship, it is with
(27:02):
husband and wife or boyfriend and girlfriend together because
it is so powerful. But this medicine, it's for the
man or woman who is ready to feel more, to love more, to
receive more, to expand more to like you're just ready to just
take on that freaking world more.
It's amazing over this last yearsomething inside me shifted
(27:23):
again. While working with this
medicine, I started feeling called to not just receive in
ceremony, but to hold it for others.
Now I just want to preface all of this with I am not a shaman.
I want to be very fucking clear about that.
I don't ever want to claim to be1.
I don't aspire to be 1 and this is one of the reasons why I was
(27:47):
so hesitant to even 1. Want to talk about this to
launch the activated woman retreat is because I never ever
ever want to be even put in the same realm as shamans.
That is a fucking gift. Higher level way beyond me.
What I can tell you what I'm very good at is space holding,
(28:09):
being a guide and being a woman who has walked this path and
knows how to create the safest, most loving and most
energetically clean space for others to rise.
And I know I'm great at this, even if we just take a look at
my experience as a retreat host.I've held over 10 non plant
(28:31):
medicine retreats, but over the last four years I've held space
for over 70 women with really transformational weekends
without medicine. And it's something that I
absolutely love to do. And my husband even just like
low key jokes with me every single time I come back from a
retreat that I've hosted, even though I know he's actually
being serious. He's like, this is this should
(28:53):
be something that you lean into and do full time as your career
because he sees how much I not only love curating these types
of spaces and these expensive spaces full in, but how much
like I just, I just love doing it and the transformations they
provide. Even though we've never offered
this type of plant medicine retreat to my community, my
(29:13):
husband and I have been curatingthese sassafras ceremonies for
our closest friends and really helping facilitate experiences
that have helped them uncover truths, heal parts of
themselves. They didn't even realize that
we're holding them back and havewalked away completely changed.
And a lot of them, like they tell us over and over, like how
much they are so grateful that we introduce them to this
(29:36):
medicine and how much it is really changed their lives.
And This is why I'm doing this because as I kind of started
this episode with is like, you know, when you get to a point
where you're just doing something for your life and it's
like kind of like a secret. And not that it's a dirty
speaking. It gets to a point where it is
selfish to not share how transformational this can be
(29:56):
with others. And I guess that's why I'm
really sharing this is because we've been doing this for two
years now and it has just been the most life changing
experience. If you can't already tell from
what you've heard in this episode.
But this medicine, this experience, this container
changed everything for me. And I know it's meant to do the
same for the women who are ready.
(30:19):
If your soul, if your gut, if your intuition as you're
listening to this episode, you're just like, holy shit,
Maybe that was a lot for you to hear.
But you're just like, Oh my gosh, like I am super curious.
I feel the pull. Maybe you were like me when I
first heard about it and you're like, oh, that's weird.
That's why should I do this? I don't know, I want you to sit
(30:42):
with this episode and just like really tap into your soul.
Maybe it will whisper to you. If you know you're ready to rise
to this next level expansion to meet that next level of your
purpose, your heart and your power.
This is your invitation. I am formally inviting you to
the activated woman retreat and to apply for it.
(31:03):
It is a three day immersion where we combine the sacred
plant medicine with this nervoussystem healing, this energetic
recalibration and sisterhood to awaken the woman you already
are. That's the most beautiful thing
about this is like, you're not like coming to this to like turn
into someone. No, we're fucking activating the
woman that is dying to get out from within you that you know
(31:27):
you are meant to be, but you have just been holding back.
Whether it's because of your belief system, maybe it's the
ego, maybe it's just not having the space to be able to tap into
her. This retreat will be a beautiful
safe space container. You will be fully supported.
(31:47):
It is LED with integrity. This is a container that I've
created where breakthroughs willhappen effortlessly and your
life will transform from the inside out.
The application process is open for the activated Woman retreat,
which I take very, very seriously.
Like you are going to fill out an application, you will 100%
having a phone call with me. I just really want to make sure
(32:11):
that each woman that comes into this container is ready for this
experience and this space is intentionally limited to the
number of people because I want to keep this container intimate.
If this episode sparked something in you, I want you to
trust it. Reach out.
If you have questions about it and you want to send me Adm and
ask me about it, please do so. You can apply by clicking the
(32:34):
link down in the show notes and let's have a conversation about
it. I'll be fully honest with you if
you're ready for it or not. Like I'm telling you, this isn't
something where I'm just going to let and actually majority of
my spaces in containers. Like I'm not going to allow you
to come into a container that I know you are not ready for.
And I've had plenty of experience now around this
medicine when I know somebody who's ready for it or not.
(32:54):
I know you're next level is already waiting and I cannot
wait to meet you there. So I hope you enjoyed this
episode. I am low key nervous and excited
to actually hit publish on it because you know that this is a,
this is a big part of me. But I hope and I know my
intention behind it is that it'sintroducing you to something
(33:18):
that has the potential to completely transform your life
in the most beautiful way. So I thank you for listening.
I love you and have a beautiful rest of your day.
