Kayla is a licensed massage therapist and spinal flow practitioner who specializes in helping people release trauma stored deep in their bodies. But her journey didn't start in the wellness space... it started as a lifeguard at the YMCA, teaching herself yoga, and eventually discovering that our bodies hold layers of trauma we don't even realize are there.

In this conversation, Kayla breaks down what spinal flow technique actually is and how it accesses the three types of blockages in our body: physical, chemical, and emotional. We talk about why our hips hold so much emotion, how the nervous system communicates through cerebrospinal fluid, and what it looks like when someone's body finally releases what it's been holding onto.

Kayla also shares a powerful story about doing a heart-opening spinal flow session, watching someone's body express and move in ways that helped them process years of stored emotion. This is about more than massage. It's about creating space for the body to heal itself.

We also dive into the shift from growing up in traditional religion to discovering Ayurveda, Buddhism, and the Vedas, and why these ancient practices feel like they're finally being validated by Western medicine.

Mark Shays built an empire in action sports. He co-founded the Pro Tour, hosted the X Games for 10 years, traveled the world producing events in Moscow, Shanghai, Paris. From the outside, it looked like the dream life.

But Mark wasn't present for any of it. He has almost no photos, few memories. People would share stories of deep, meaningful conversations they'd had with him, and he wouldn't even recognize their faces.

At 48, during Burning Man 2018, everything shifted. A friend asked if he was okay... and could tell there was something deeper going on. That moment led to a profound awakening that cracked open what had been unconsciously controlling his entire life.

In this conversation, Mark shares his journey from being a triple major in college to getting sponsored by Rollerblade, from creating action sports history to finally becoming present in his own existence. We talk about the difference between consuming and creating, raising your vibration to attract your people, and why being in the "receiving" changes everything.

This isn't surface-level. This is the deep conversation Mark asked for; about presence, awakening, and what it means to finally show up for your life.

What do you do when you realize the answers you're looking for exist outside the conventional system?

For Mia Lowry, growing up with a parent who has MS shaped her understanding of medicine and healing from an early age. But it wasn't until later that she discovered psychedelics, cannabis, and natural healing modality approaches that opened up entirely new possibilities for wellness.

As Mia dove deeper into this world, she recognized something crucial: there was nowhere in Central Pennsylvania for people to talk openly about these experiences. After asking around and connecting with others in her area, she realized there was a real need for this kind of community space. A place where people could come together and have honest conversations about psychedelics and plant medicine without fear or judgment.

So Mia decided to create it herself.

She founded the Central Pennsylvania Psychedelic Society, building the community her region was missing. A space where people can share experiences, find support, and explore these modalities together.

And in an unexpected turn, after Mia built this community and shared what she was doing, her own mother became interested in exploring different approaches and reconsidering her relationship with traditional MS medications.

This is what happens when you create space for open conversation, it ripples out in ways you never expected.

Sometimes you reach a point where you have to try something, anything, to break through. Nikos was there.

Searching for answers and open to trying something new, a random conversation in a bar changed everything. Someone mentioned Ayahuasca. That conversation set Nikos on a path that would transform not just his life, but create something for an entire community.

The transformation was everything he needed.

But coming back from that experience, Nikos faced an unexpected challenge: where were his people? Where was the community of others going through the same transformation? Where could he find support while integrating back into everyday life after experiencing something so profound?

He looked around and realized... it didn't exist. Not in the way it needed to.

So the founder of Violette did what needed to be done. He created a platform to bring seekers, healers, and guides together. A safe space for real connection. A place where people walking this path could finally find each other.

This is the story of Violette's beginning, born from transformation and the vision to create what he wished existed.
