Today, we are joined by Sara Kassem – a healer, therapist, and dear friend, for a vulnerable conversation on humility and self-forgiveness in a spiritual healing journey. Sara opens up about her challenges with relinquishing control while accepting the healing process and shares how she shifted from a self-blaming and self-reliant paradigm to one of self-acceptance and welcoming love and support from others.

Throughout the episode, we explore the relationship between a spiritual connection and accessing humility, how to release your shame, the difference between intention and impact, and why it’s important to embrace mistakes to learn from them. Sara highlights the role of forgiveness and seeking truth in humanity and offers advice for reclaiming your authentic energy – regardless of what those around you may think.

Welcome to the final part of my “40 Lessons in 40 Years” series. Today, we wrap up with lessons 31 to 40, exploring topics like patience, healing, and body love and reverence.

I believe in being with life wherever it is at this moment, but also chipping away at things to get to the other side. Many of these lessons reflect how we can honor each of our individual paths while also using discernment and compassion to help us make choices toward continual (and collective) growth.

I believe there are infinite amounts of resources existing within us, waiting to be remembered and reactivated. If any of the lessons in the series helped you at all, I’d love to hear from you!

As I approach my 40th birthday next week, I’ve been reflecting on the experiences that shape the foundation of my value system and understanding of the world around me. In this episode, I delve into lessons 21 to 30 of my “40 Lessons in 40 Years” series, exploring topics like reciprocity, embodiment, and identity.

When it comes to my relationships, health, career – honestly, everything in my life – I’m committed to trusting my embodied awareness. I’m all about meeting people where they are, but I’ve also realized that I need to be okay with where I am and let my inner-knowing guide the way. I hope this series sparks something in you to think about your innate wisdom and what lessons you’ve picked up along the way. If anything resonates with you (or doesn’t), I’d love to hear from you!

We’re officially in the birthday portal, people! Over the next four episodes, I’ll be sharing 40 Lessons in 40 Years. This week’s episode covers the first 10 along with some stories and insights as always.

To celebrate my 40th birthday and 10 years of the School of Sacred Embodiment I’m releasing two new offerings in September – the CHERISH retreat happening in Spain, Fall of 2024 and a Body Love and Reverence course. Stay tuned for both!

Enjoy this first installment of 40 Lessons in 40 Years and be sure to tune in next week for Part II.
