Creating Meaningful Connections with Sah D'Simone | EP 32

As a society, we're not taught how to process and be with uncomfortable emotions. This is such a vital skill that, honestly, should be required learning in grade school. Instead, most of us do everything in our power to avoid discomfort by diving into our phones, using alcohol, shopping, [insert distraction of choice here].

These are simply the ways we've learned to cope throughout our lives but they present huge barriers to connection with others.

In this episode, Alyssa speaks with Sah D'Simone, a spiritual revolutionary, filmmaker, and bestselling author, about practical wisdom for processing uncomfortable emotions somatically so we can create deeper, more meaningful connections.

In this episode, learn how you can combat loneliness within yourself (something two out of five adults say they struggle with). Because, as humans, we're literally wired for connection - it's as basic a need as food and shelter.

Sah's energy + passion make for an incredible discussion you won't want to miss. Tune in now to learn how to foster deeper relationships + intimacy.
