Sherine sits down with Ayana Malua, a trauma-informed somatic therapist, nervous system specialist, artist and nomad. After ending a long-term relationship and leaving her corporate job, Ayana travelled through Mexico and Guatemala, and eventually spent three months on a traditional diet in the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. In this conversation she shares what plant medicine, nervous system regulation and radical self-honesty taught her about identity, self-trust, and coming home to her own body.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL DISCOVER:

• Why she left her 9-5 and what finally made the loop unbearable
• Cacao as a sacred medicine — and what gets lost when the West adopts it
• Her first experiences with kambo, peyote and the medicines of the Amazon
• How stress, hair loss and self-abandonment are connected
• The shadow side of the spiritual community and spiritual bypassing
• The power of women coming together

Sherine and Saskia unpack what it means to build a life far from where you grew up, why “home” can be a feeling more than a place, and how the pressure to keep achieving can quietly pull you out of yourself.

In this episode you’ll discover:

• Why success can be defined by alignment, not outcomes
• What it really looks like to make yourself your own friend
• Why journaling, meditation, and a “dopamine menu” can help you regulate in real life
• How Saskia approaches tarot as a study
• A yoga retreat in Botswana that is all about nature, memory, and returning to where Saskia feels most herself
  

If you’ve ever felt split between who you are, where you are, and who you’re becoming, this conversation will meet you there. Perfect for anyone craving clarity, a calmer relationship with ambition, and a reminder that the answers are usually closer than you think.

Through a gentle rotation of consciousness, I will guide your attention away from the constant activity of the mind and back into the body.

A space to slow down, reconnect, and experience silence without needing to force stillness or silence the mind.

In this 20-minute guided meditation you will release the old patterns, beliefs, and stories that have been quietly running your life, and step fully into the version of yourself that feels free, certain, and completely at home in who you are.

All you need is a quiet space, a pair of headphones, and a willingness to go within.

This meditation was created as part of the Identity Shift & Alignment Masterclass. If you attended the masterclass, welcome back. Come here whenever you need to return to the feeling you found that day.
