In this episode, Krista sits down with Dr. Tara Swart, PhD neuroscientist and Oxford-trained medical doctor, to explore the healing magic of ancient wisdom + the neuroscience behind manifestation. Plus, Dr. Tara gets super candid about surviving profound grief + reclaiming joy.  Ahead, Dr. Tara shares insights from her new book The Signs: The New Science of How to Trust Your Instincts, revealing how to unlock the hidden powers of your senses, creativity, and sacred rituals. Think synchronicities, intuitive nudges, and how heartbreak can sharpen your instincts.  In this rare and moving conversation, Dr. Tara also opens up about grieving the loss of her husband. She talks about falling apart, the essential role of community support, and the deep permission she gave herself to heal—rather than rushing back to “normal.”  We also talk about: Why surrendering actually works for manifestation How Tara healed after losing her husband Ancient practices, psychedelics, and creativity for mental health Magical signs, angel numbers, and synchronicities explained Grief, resilience, and moving forward (without spiritual bypassing) Connecting with your tribe + cultivating art, beauty, and joy The mind-blowing power of neuroaesthetics for happiness Healing trauma in the body vs. talk therapy alone Expanding your intuitive senses  Resources: Instagram: @drtaraswart Website: https://taraswart.com Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: Ka’Chava | Go to https://kachava.com and use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your next order.
