Thirteen is Lana's lucky number. Maybe this is also her lucky year coming up: 2023 💦 as  some  wild revelations came through in the shower and are now unraveling in the present as we move through this last month of 2022. Annalisa also had an incredible realization about Voldemort. Perhaps our exes never change? Or do they? Do we? We'd love to hear your thoughts. 

This episode has been hidden for entire year and the plan was for it to be a bonus for patreon.com subscribers. We decided to release it to our wider audience acknowledging that the current reality makes this episode even juicer, but you'll have to wait for the next episode to learn exactly what that means ;) 

 Have you ever heard of or been to Burning Man? If not, we’ll tell you this: It’s a place the “burners” to lovingly call “Home.” Its Nevada’s third largest city for one week, toward the end of the summer each year. 80k people from all over the globe travel to this dry lake bed to gather and share an experience unlike any other. We attend burning man to heal, learn, grow, connect and expand our minds and our hearts to more fully embrace every aspect of the human experience. Some people fall in love, some marry — right there on the “playa” during the week long event. Some come to find love from another or love from oneself and rediscover parts of themselves lost in a challenging dynamic, or divorce. We were fortunate enough to capture the post burn essence of Isabelle Gray, a sought after hypnotherapist & energy worker based in Southern Los Angeles, originally from Belgium. She’s on her heroic journey after divorce, and burning man was — without a doubt, medicine for her soul. Please enjoy this first re-lauch episode of season 2. We hope that it inspires you to seek new experiences like Burning Man on your post-divorce path.

We go into Annalisa's immigrant story in this episode. Her move at 3 years old from Guyana to New Jersey and how her "abandonment issues" came to be.  Lana and Annalisa talk about how time is cyclical, and how all of the "looking back" can fu@K with your neck! The importance of leading life with an open heart despite all of the pain and what form of therapy was the most effective for both Lana and Annalisa. Lana references her Tantra teachers and the 10+ years of training she's done with them as well as yet another Tony Robbins name drop. Yep. Again. Every episode folks! Enjoy!

Did you know that divorce is not failure? It's success! We'll tell you why. It's movement, it's growth, it's evolution. All relationships are an opportunity to learn. They don't need to be for life. What a concept, right? Some relationships are lessons. It's just a fact. This episode is a full-on kitchen table conversation with a dear friend of Annalisa's - Stephanie Bishop, about divorce, parenting and what it means to just put yourself first!

Alright ladies and gents! This is a very very special episode. We brought on an incredible guest for "getting to the roots;" getting to the depth of pain and trauma. 

*Deepest apologies for the audio quality.* It's a learning experience! 

"What Kyle does is a unique healing art form, most closely related to ancient Hawaiian Lomi Lomi. HAPA LOMI is long form (6-10 hrs), ancient Hawaiian Lomi Lomi. He approaches each person as a unique, complex, multilayered, individual.  His goal in a session is to push people physically, psychologically, emotionally and spiritually to create an environment where they reach their limit and push past it and as they return, the whole can come back to balance and begin to heal itself. Most importantly, it comes from the heart as the only thing he has ever found that helps is Love. It is an intense practice for those desiring lasting and deep change."  
- Gil Penchina

"Iboga of bodywork" is the way that Kyle describe his work, for people who are familiar with plant medicine. Divorce is about evolution. It's healing process. This is why we brought Kyle on - to speak about healing and open the conversation around moving forward.

Moments:

10:05  What is dissociation?

15:50    You can't separate the mind from the body.

17:35    We think that when a feeling passes it completely goes away.

19:05    Psychedelics and Kyle's experience with Iboga.

26:13    What is offered through touch?

30:50    That body's capacity for storage is greater than the mind.

36:40    Why we replay patterns: Choosing dysfunction over uncertainty.

52:40    Orgasms happen when you feel safe.

54:35    Fight, flight, or freeze; explained.

1:01:45  A man's deepest fear.

1:02:05  A woman's deepest fear.

1:09:30  Let's make space for ANGER.

1:13:35  The stupid shit people say when you are ANgRy.

1:18:20  You can't "think" your way past this shit.

1:19:50 How to honor the physical mechanism.

Lana's going through it. Again. Rebound lover has a new chick and Lana isn't feeling it. Annalisa plays Lana's therapist in this episode where Lana confronts her need to keep going back to what isn't good for her, and exposing her crutches.
