Some episodes are for you and I alone. They are teachings, transmissions, miracles unfolding in real time I want to share with you.  In this deeply personal solo episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light, I share what happened when a dream I had carried for over six and a half years finally came true... and why receiving it was far more profound than I could have imagined. After years of estrangement from my son, Mother's Day arrived with the familiar ache of longing and uncertainty. As the evening wore on and I still hadn't heard from him, I found myself surrendering in a way I hadn't before. Instead of trying to manifest, heal, fix, or focus on a future breakthrough, I allowed myself to fully accept the heartbreak exactly as it was. And then... he called ;-) I take you behind the scenes of the phone call, the last-minute flight to California, and the sacred reunion that followed. For hours, I simply listened as my son shared his life, his dreams, his disappointments, his relationships, and his heart. Rather than trying to be a coach, a teacher, or even a mother with answers, I discovered the healing power of presence, receiving, and unconditional love. I explore what it means to stop resisting reality, trust in divine timing, and allow life to unfold in ways we could never orchestrate ourselves. I share the lessons this reunion revealed about purpose, parenting, communication, nervous system healing, and the difference between living from competence versus living from genius. I also talk about: -Healing after six and a half years of estrangement -Why dreams coming true are not always what we expect -The power of surrender versus control -Deep listening as an act of love -Parenting adult children with grace and trust -Following your heart even when there are no guarantees -Divine timing and unexpected miracles -Emotional resilience and nervous system healing -Living your genius instead of settling for competence -The beauty of being fully seen, heard, and received -Why suffering grows when we resist what is -Creating intimacy through presence, not fixing -The evolution of The Intimate World and my upcoming Docuseries -Trusting that life is happening for you, not against you This episode is a love letter to every parent carrying a broken heart, every person waiting for a miracle, and every soul learning

Step into a deeply feminine, embodied, and soul-stirring sisterhood conversation with Francesca Barone, co-founder of Anam Kara Healing Retreats, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Francesca is devoted to preserving indigenous shamanic wisdom and guiding people into safe, transformative plant medicine ceremonies rooted in embodiment, ritual, and reverence for the Earth. Francesca shares her journey from survival-based resilience into radical softness, revealing how years of trauma, addiction, and pushing through life shaped her nervous system, leadership, and relationships. She opens up about building her ayahuasca retreat center from a place of endurance rather than ease, and the deep reckoning that came when she realized she had everything she thought she wanted, yet still did not feel safe, held, or at home in her body. We explore the terror and courage of surrender, especially for women who have been rewarded for strength and resilience. Francesca speaks vulnerably about releasing control in love, business, and spirituality. She shares how reconnecting to the Divine Mother, the womb, and the Earth became the doorway to true healing, pleasure, and trust in life. Together, we dive into embodiment as the medicine, the intelligence of the body's ability to disconnect for protection, and the slow, sacred work of returning home. Francesca offers profound insight into why healing does not come from constant effort or expansion, but from creating space for spaciousness, allowing grief, stillness, and the fertile darkness to restore wholeness. We also talk about: -Returning to the Divine Mother and feminine safety -Surrender versus survival-based resilience -The body's wisdom to disconnect and reconnect -Embodiment, pleasure, and grounded aliveness -Grief as the gateway to softness and trust -Plant medicine as ally, not escape -Creating space, stillness, and integration -Healing sexual and developmental trauma -Trusting divine timing in love, motherhood, and life This episode is an invitation to slow down, soften, and descend. It reminds us that creation is born from the fertile darkness, that surrender is an act of profound courage, and that the body holds the memory of safety, pleasure, and belonging when we allow ourselves to listen.

Step into a raw, powerful, and deeply embodied conversation about what works… with Grant Dziak, human performance and nervous system strategist, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Grant is the founder of The Forged Method, helping high-functioning individuals stop white-knuckling life and start leading from a regulated, embodied, and deeply self-aware state. His work bridges neuroscience, behavioral change, somatics, and emotional integration with a grounded, no-BS approach to healing and transformation. Grant shares the painful experiences that shaped his path, including growing up with an abusive alcoholic father, being surrounded by strong women he longed to protect, and carrying deep childhood wounds around safety, responsibility, and self-worth. He opens up about the moment he discovered his sister had been assaulted as a child only feet away from him, and how that trauma quietly shaped his nervous system, identity, and relationship with masculinity for years. We explore how his journey began through fitness coaching, but quickly evolved into something far deeper. Grant realized that discipline alone could never override nervous system dysregulation. Some clients followed every protocol yet remained stuck in cycles of stress, sabotage, inflammation, and emotional collapse, while others who felt safer and more connected began transforming effortlessly. That realization became the foundation of his life's work. The conversation moves into intuition, emotional intelligence, and the profound ability to hear what people are not saying. Grant shares how years of understanding his own pain opened an extraordinary capacity to feel others deeply, often sensing hidden truths, suppressed emotions, and unconscious patterns before they were ever spoken aloud.  Together, we explore the sacred responsibility of holding space for people to finally tell the truth their body has been carrying. We also dive deeply into nervous system regulation, trauma integration, and the difference between reacting from survival versus responding from presence. Grant explains how regulation is not about suppressing emotion, but about creating enough internal safety to actually feel, process, and integrate what has been stored in the body for years. Together, we unpack how healing requires both self-regulation and safe relationships where the nervous system can finally exhale. We also talk about: -Ch

Step into a raw, delicious and love-affirming conversation with Jenn Pinkerton, psychotherapist, certified sex therapist, relationship expert, and host of the Red Head Reveal Podcast, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Jenn's work centers around one powerful truth: we are wired for connection, yet so many people are living in profound disconnection from themselves, their relationships, and their deepest desires. I agree! Jenn shares her personal journey through grief, abandonment, and identity after losing her father at a young age. She vulnerably opens up about becoming a "chameleon" in her early life, shaping herself to fit the needs of others while losing connection to her authentic self. That wound eventually became the doorway into her life's work: helping people return to who they truly are beneath the coping strategies, fear, shame, and survival patterns. We explore the four core wounds that shape so many relationships, including abandonment, not feeling good enough, not belonging, and not feeling worthy. Jenn beautifully explains how these wounds influence intimacy, communication, defensiveness, sexuality, perfectionism, avoidance, and even the kinds of relationships we choose. Rather than blaming the past, she invites us into deeper self-awareness, compassion, and responsibility for how these wounds show up in our present-day lives. Jenn also shares her groundbreaking work helping couples heal after infidelity, revealing that affairs are often less about another person and more about the longing to feel alive, connected, desired, and emotionally seen. We discuss how betrayal can either become the ending of a relationship or the catalyst to build an entirely new one rooted in honesty, vulnerability, emotional safety, and genuine connection. We also talk about: -Why connection is our birthright -Emotional safety as the foundation of intimacy and desire -Healing abandonment wounds and relationship insecurity -The difference between physical arousal and true desire -Why vulnerability is essential for intimacy -Infidelity, betrayal, and rebuilding trust -Overcoming defensiveness and learning repair -Desire mismatch, shame, and purity culture -The importance of curiosity, creativity, and novelty in relationships -"Groundhog Day" marriages and how couples lose connection -Empty nesting and redi

Step into a blow-me-away, deeply illuminating conversation with Dr. Richard Blake, psychologist, researcher, breathwork practitioner, and author of the upcoming book The Anxiety Industry. Richard shares his powerful journey through anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, binge eating, and compulsive behaviours, and how true transformation came when he moved beyond talk therapy into breathwork, nervous system regulation, and groundbreaking research. Together, we explore why mental illness rates keep rising despite more therapy and awareness than ever before, the hidden ways therapy culture can reinforce suffering, and how breathwork, neuroplasticity, and courageous nervous system work can open the door to real healing. This is an honest, edgy, and liberating conversation about moving beyond victimhood, building resilience, and meeting life with more courage, truth, and freedom. We also talk about: Therapy culture, "trauma inflation," and the unintended consequences of therapeutic language Family estrangement, emotional validation, and the difference between healing and reinforcing suffering Breathwork, psychedelics, neuroplasticity, and nervous system regulation Exposure therapy, stress resilience, and learning to stay present through discomfort Social media, comfort culture, lifestyle habits, and the collapse of meaning Community, purpose, movement, sleep, embodiment, and the practices that build true emotional capacity This friggin' fantastic, aligned, and enlivening episode invites us to question what we've inherited about healing, trauma, and mental health. Real growth is not about avoiding discomfort, but learning to stay present with greater capacity, awareness, and self-responsibility. Dr. Blake's work calls us back into the body, back into truth, and back into our profound ability to adapt, heal, and evolve. I could have talked with this great man for hours!   About Richard: Dr. Richard Blake holds a PhD in psychology and is known for challenging how mental health is discussed and treated today. His research focuses on anxiety, breathwork, and nervous system regulation, including the largest randomized controlled trial on conscious connected breathwork to date. With over 113,000 followers on Instagram, his evidence-based work critiques therapy culture, trauma inflation, mental-health misinformation, and t

Step into a raw, profoundly inspiring conversation with Ted Ryce, celebrity trainer, health expert, and host of the Legendary Life Podcast, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Ted brings decades of experience working with high achievers, blending fitness, nervous system health, and real-life transformation into a practical and powerful approach to well-being. Take a deep breath as Ted shares the pivotal moment that shaped his entire path. At 19 years old, his 9-year-old brother was kidnapped and murdered, a traumatic event that shattered his world. It forced him to confront grief, stress, and the collapse of everything he thought his life would be. In the aftermath, he struggled to function, eventually dropping out of school and feeling lost in the weight of it all. We explore how his healing didn't begin with mindset work or therapy, but through something deceptively simple… movement. Returning to exercise became the first thread of regulation, helping him feel better emotionally, sleep more deeply, and slowly rebuild a sense of stability in his body. That experience became the foundation of his life's work, showing him that physical health is not separate from emotional healing, but deeply intertwined. I agree! Ted introduces a grounded truth about the nervous system and aging. As we get older, the body naturally shifts toward a more activated, stressed state if we do nothing to counterbalance it. The sympathetic nervous system, our fight-or-flight response, becomes more dominant, which impacts energy, recovery, and overall well-being. The antidote is not extreme effort, but consistent, intentional movement that supports regulation. We also talk about: -Why fitness is the foundation for emotional resilience and long-term healing -The role of exercise in regulating stress, sleep, and mood -The difference between looking fit and being truly healthy -Why aging requires more intention, not less, when it comes to movement -The importance of aerobic exercise for nervous system balance -How strength training protects muscle, bone density, and longevity -The truth about "age is just a number" and where that belief falls short -Why consistency matters more than intensity for sustainable results -How daily habits like walking and step count impact long-term health -The connection between body fat, stress, and metabolic health This conve

Step into a fiery, embodied, and deeply human conversation with Danielle Gertner, speaker, MC, and embodiment-based leadership coach, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Known for her raw truth, infectious presence, and unapologetic devotion to ownering one's sh*t, Danielle helps high-performing leaders stop outsourcing their power and start leading their lives from the body, not just the mind. Danielle shares her journey of stepping off the "conveyor belt" of doing what was expected, blowing up a life that looked good on paper, and choosing radical self-responsibility instead of blame. What began as fitness coaching evolved into deep self-mastery work when she realized that confidence built on appearance alone never touches the soul. We explore how true embodiment became the foundation of her leadership, relationships, and work. Danielle speaks vulnerably about anger, shame, inherited family patterns, and learning to trust her body's signals, especially in love. She shares how listening to a felt pull or push, even when logic disagreed, taught her a new level of self-trust and integrity. The conversation moves into love, boundaries, and conscious uncoupling. Danielle reflects on ending a long-term partnership with honesty and reverence, allowing love to evolve rather than die, and redefining boundaries as the distance where she can love herself and another unconditionally. Her devotion to truth over performance is palpable. We also talk about: -Radical self-ownership as the gateway to freedom -Embodiment as the root of real confidence -Listening to the body over logic or conditioning -Mirror work, self-forgiveness, and self-trust rituals -Grief, loss, and allowing joy to coexist with pain -Outrageous joy and rapturous glory as lived practices -Leading crowds through presence rather than hype -Feminine leadership, slowing down, and letting yourself be supported The episode comes full circle weaving in the painful yet beautiful lessons of losing her brother. Danielle gifts us with a powerful conversation and reminder that confidence is not something you perform. It is something you inhabit. Danielle's story invites us to slow down, feel what is alive, trust the body's wisdom, and choose a life led from truth, courage, and devotion to self.

Step into a deeply honest, embodied, and paradigm-shifting conversation with Luis Mojica, somatic practitioner, trauma-informed nutritionist, and founder of Holistic Life Navigation, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Luis brings a rare integration of nervous system work, food health, and trauma healing, inviting us to understand the body not as a problem to fix, but as a language to listen to. Luis shares his personal journey of growing up in an intersex body, navigating confusion, bullying, shame, and deep isolation. Without an empathic witness, he internalized his pain, leading to anxiety, panic, insomnia, and PTSD symptoms that he coped with through food.  We explore how his path into healing began with picking up a guitar, learning to be 'held' through the guitar against his torso, allowing sounds, then singing to begin healing his trauma. Then through nutrition, witnessing firsthand how food could radically shift mental health, over time, his work evolved beyond "what to eat" into a much deeper question: Why does the body reach for certain foods in the first place? How are those patterns rooted in nervous system regulation, not lack of discipline? Luis introduces a powerful reframe of trauma and stress through the lens of resonance with the body. Stress can resolve, but trauma keeps the system braced, locked in chronic fight-or-flight. He explains how certain foods can either stimulate, depress, or balance the nervous system, sometimes triggering the same physiological responses as emotional shock or danger. We also talk about: -Trauma as the absence of an empathic witness -The connection between food habits and nervous system states -Chronic adrenaline and living in a braced body -Why coping mechanisms are intelligent, not wrong -Food as a regulator of anxiety, panic, and overwhelm -Moving beyond "healthy vs unhealthy" into body awareness -Somatic experiencing and self-inquiry as healing tools -Shame, secrecy, and the body's protective adaptations -Relearning safety and compassion from the inside out -Creating a relationship with the body rooted in curiosity and kindness In real time, Luis' capacity as a trauma facilitator was revealed as I had an insight into my desire for a glass of wine at the end of the day. He was elegant in holding space for my tears, guiding my somatic awareness, being with my emotions that tr

Redefine success, legacy, and leadership from the inside out in this powerful episode of Intimate Conversations with entrepreneur, father, and business growth coach Dan Sachkowsky. Dan joins me for a raw, real conversation about pressure, heartbreak, resilience, and what it actually takes to build a life that feels aligned, not just impressive on paper. Dan opens up about surviving a heart attack at forty and how that near-death moment became a wake-up call that shifted everything. From navigating divorce and parental alienation to rebuilding his relationship with his son, Dan shares how presence, patience, and emotional honesty changed the trajectory of his life, fatherhood, and business. We explore how grit does not mean suppressing emotions, but learning how to feel fully without collapsing. Dan breaks down the inner work that allowed him to move from chasing money to building legacy, and how letting go of control created more freedom, impact, and fulfillment than hustling ever did. To me that feels like an integration of internal Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine qualities, surrender and soul impact.  You'll also hear how nature, land, and animals became a powerful regulation tool for his nervous system, and why slowing down was the key to regaining clarity, connection, and trust in life. We also talk about: -The heart attack as a wake-up call and redefining success -Divorce, grief, and navigating parental alienation without giving up -How to stay emotionally available without forcing outcomes -The power of prayer, journaling, and feeling instead of numbing -Rebuilding trust and connection with an estranged child -Why presence creates safety in parenting and relationships -Legacy vs chasing money and external validation -How businesses trap owners and what true entrepreneurship looks like -Releasing control, building systems, and reclaiming time and freedom -Why grit rooted in compassion is more powerful than force This episode is a reminder that healing does not come from doing more, but from being more present with what is true. It is an invitation to soften, stay, and trust that alignment creates impact naturally as a soulful entrepreneur, father and man.  Learn more about Dan and his work at https://dansachkowsky.com/ and follow him on Instagram for grounded insights on leadership, fatherhood, and living with purpose.   ➡️ Go ch

Step into a raw, courageous, and heart-opening conversation with Sean Clayton and Sophia Powe, partners in life, love, and deep inner work, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Together, they share a lived journey of trauma, healing, accountability, and the sacred devotion required to move from soulmates shaped by wounds into a wholemate partnership rooted in truth. Sophia, an award-winning Storyteller and former CMO, and Sean, a Miracle Code Abundance Architect, open the conversation vulnerably about their nonlinear love story, including betrayal, separation, profound personal reckoning, and the choice to stop bypassing pain and finally feel what had been avoided for decades. Their relationship became the crucible that forced each of them to confront inner child wounds, people-pleasing, shame, guilt, and the survival strategies that once kept them safe, but no longer served. We explore how real intimacy is built not through chemistry or spiritual language, but through nervous system regulation, embodied presence, and the willingness to stay with discomfort rather than manipulate outcomes. Sean shares how learning to feel sadness, anger, and fear in his body freed him from performance and strategy. Sophia reflects on reclaiming self-worth, being willing to be seen, and choosing herself without abandoning love. We also talk about: -Moving from rolemate and soulmate patterns into wholemate partnership -Trauma bonding versus conscious, embodied intimacy -Inner child healing and staying present with difficult emotions -Ending spiritual bypassing and integrating shadows -Boundaries, self-responsibility, and asking for help -Nervous system regulation in relationship conflict -Choosing love without abandoning the self -Marriage as a sacred container for growth, not avoidance This episode is an extraordinarily powerful reminder that the work works.

Through powerful client stories, she shares how evidential readings bring comfort, validation, and healing to those navigating grief, offering undeniable moments that loved ones are still present, guiding, and connected. She shares the deeper layers of spirit communication, including signs, visitations, energetic sensitivity, and the importance of surrendering control. Barbra emphasizes that spirit does not come to impress, but to heal, guiding us back into life, joy, and connection rather than keeping us stuck in loss.

Aleks shares his journey from immigrating to the United States as a Ukrainian refugee to navigating insecurity, weight struggles, and identity through sport, movement, and eventually holistic health. His curiosity led him to question authority, follow what made sense in his body, and ultimately study under Paul Chek, where decades of neurosomatic, nutritional, and spiritual training shaped his life's work. We explore how embodiment, integrity, and nervous system regulation show up not just in health, but in marriage, fatherhood, leadership, and business. Aleks opens up about meeting his wife Sarah, stepping into instant fatherhood, earning trust through consistency, and becoming a man who does the right thing even when no one is watching.  The conversation moves into conscious business through the creation of Berski, a nutrient-dense, grass-fed, pasture-raised meat snack born from practicality, ethics, and a devotion to supporting farmers, land stewardship, and real nourishment.

Entertainment Television, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. From growing up in Coney Island to helping build one of the most influential media networks in the world, Larry shares the unlikely path that shaped his life, leadership, and legacy. Larry reflects on his early years as a scrappy Brooklyn kid, rising through the ranks of the cable industry by curiosity, confidence, and a refusal to follow the expected path. What began as a temporary summer job underground splicing cables turned into a meteoric rise, eventually leading him to Los Angeles and the bold vision that became E! Entertainment. We explore how E! was built not with massive funding or prestige, but with creativity, interns, borrowed equipment, and a willingness to ignore the rules of Hollywood. Larry shares the stories behind groundbreaking moments, sneaking onto red carpets, launching shows like Talk Soup, and recognizing that people wanted entertainment that felt real, playful, and unscripted. The conversation deepens as Larry opens up about the most transformative moment of his life– when his teenage son was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor and given months to live, everything shifted. Against all odds, his son survived and has now been cancer-free for over twenty years. That experience redefined Larry's priorities, teaching him that success means presence, perspective, and finding joy in the moment beyond achievement.

Larry's story shows that the greatest achievements mean little without love, presence, and the courage to live and love fully. ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt

Ann Marie shares her journey from being the "good woman" who did everything right on the outside, while feeling disconnected and suffocated within, to bravely listening to her body's wisdom when it began speaking through illness, inflammation, and exhaustion.

It is an invitation to reclaim your voice, your intuition, and your right to live your best life guided from within.   ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content!

Step into a breathtaking story of redemption, devotion, and soul-level partnership in this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light with Frank and Kat Parisi. Married for over thirty years, parents to their son Sonny, Frank and Kat share what it truly means to navigate addiction, trauma, near death, and profound awakening together, without ever abandoning true love. Frank opens up about growing up in extreme juxtaposition of familial wealth and unspeakable trauma, then decades of addiction, and finally a moment of pristine clarity that led him into recovery in 2011. He shares how sobriety became a doorway into service, faith, and purpose, and how a life-saving heart transplant in 2023, receiving the heart of a nineteen-year-old young woman, deepened his devotion to healing generational trauma and living for something greater than himself. Kat shares with remarkable honesty what it was like to love and stay with Frank through addiction, chaos, and recovery. She speaks about loyalty, exhaustion, faith, and the quiet strength it took to rebuild trust, communicate honestly, and do her own healing alongside his. Together, they reflect on how recovery is not just about getting sober, but about repairing intimacy, rebuilding respect, and learning how to truly see and hear one another's deepest Truth. We explore how trauma lives in the nervous system, how faith and spirituality became anchors during Frank's hospital stay, and how their son Sunny became the living "why" that called Frank back to life.

We also talk about: -Addiction, shame, and the cycle of trauma -Recovery as nervous system healing and spiritual practice -Staying committed through chaos and rebuilding trust -Heart transplant as awakening and generational healing -Marriage as devotion, communication, and accountability -Parenting through trauma and modeling resilience -Love that deepens through vulnerability rather than perfection This episode is a reminder that healing is possible, marriages can be reborn, and love can become stronger after everything falls apart.

Witnessing the darkest expressions of unhealed humanity forced him to confront his own shadows and led him into deep psychedelic somatic healing that transformed how he lives, loves, and leads. Vanessa shares her path as an empath and mother, navigating disconnection, numbing, and the search for safety before sacred medicine brought her home to her body, presence, and love without armor. Together, they tell the extraordinary story of finding each other through inner alignment rather than fantasy, a reminder that love responds to frequency, not force. We explore what conscious partnership truly requires. Presence. Playfulness. The willingness to sit still together without distraction. Paul and Vanessa reveal how slowing down, feeling fully, and choosing devotion over performance creates intimacy that can withstand the darkest nights. We also talk about: -Transforming trauma without bypassing it -"Hell" as lack of awareness vs radical self responsibility -Psychedelic somatic healing and nervous system safety -Conscious partnership rooted in presence and devotion -Love as frequency rather than pursuit -Humor, joy, and play as spiritual practices -Healing the heart as a path to healing the world We had a good laugh that one of my 6 books is called Finding The One is BS, Becoming the One is Brilliant and Beautiful… they are walking emanations of this teaching! AND ironically, it's the key to finding the depth of love they share.  This episode is an invitation to stop outsourcing love, worth, and salvation to the outside world, and to go all the way in. It reminds us that intimacy begins within, that presence is the doorway to everything, and that healed hearts truly do heal the world. ➡️ Go check out pat

Welcome to a deeply moving love story of redemption, faith, and partnership in this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light with Dylan Gemelli and his wife, Queennie. A God-first couple united by humility, devotion, and teamwork, they join me for an honest conversation about healing the past, choosing integrity, and building a marriage rooted in truth… and humor.  Dylan shares his journey from prison, addiction, and self-destruction to faith, service, and purpose, and how meeting Queennie during the lowest chapter of his life became a turning point. Queennie reflects on seeing his heart beyond his past, receiving his truth with compassion, and choosing love without judgment. Together, they open up about what it means to place God first in marriage, not as religion, but as daily practice. Prayer, honesty, forgiveness, and humility became the foundation that allowed trust, safety, and joy to grow. Their relationship is a living example of how two imperfect people can evolve together when pride softens, responsibility leads and hearts open.  We also explore how complementary differences strengthen a relationship, how playfulness and laughter coexist with devotion, and how a healthy partnership fuels purpose, leadership, and service in the world. We also talk about: -Redemption, responsibility, and owning your past without shame -Choosing honesty early and letting truth build trust -God-first marriage as daily practice, not performance -Forgiveness, humility, and resolving conflict quickly -Complementary differences as gifts for growth -Play, laughter, and joy as spiritual practices -How love and partnership fuel purpose and leadership This episode is a reminder that your past does not disqualify you, ever. And that faith can be lived through love, and that when two people choose truth, humility, and God first, something deeply beautiful becomes possible.  Be sure to watch Dylan's Podcast, #1 in health and fitness and alternative health, The Dylan Gemelli Podcast, where I will also be featured as a Guest this year! https://dylangemelli.com/ ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content!
