What if your deepest triggers were the doorway to your deepest turn-on?
In this raw and revelatory episode, Ala sits down with trauma-informed tantra guide Danni Lovefox to explore the sacred intersection of nervous system healing, shadow integration, and conscious intimacy. Together, they dive into the somatic roots of connection, the myths and misuses of modern tantra, and how unprocessed grief, rage, and desire can be alchemized into deeper presence and pleasure.
You’ll hear:
Why spiritual bypassing often disconnects us from the root chakra
How to build safety in the body before diving into intimacy
The power of conscious kink and Dark Eros when guided with love
How anger and grief can become portals to passion, truth, and healing
Whether you're navigating relationship dynamics or walking your own healing spiral, this conversation invites you to return home to your body, reclaim your sovereignty, and meet yourself more honestly — one breath, one trigger, one truth at a time.

What if your anxiety, resistance, or self-doubt was just a misunderstood part of you, longing to be seen?
In this tender and truth-filled conversation with trauma psychotherapist Paula Romero, we explore Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic healing, and rebirthing breathwork as pathways to meet the parts within — and return home to the divine Self.
You'll hear Paula’s personal journey through dissociation and rediscovery, how IFS offers a new language of self-compassion, and how somatics anchors healing in the body. Together, we unpack spiritual bypassing, nervous system wisdom, and what it really means to hold space for your shadows with love.

What if your next evolution isn’t about becoming someone new —
but shedding everything you never truly were?
In this soul-deep conversation, Jocelyn Vance — certified life and success coach, intuitive business mentor, and founder of The Conscious Woman — invites us into the sacred unraveling that transformed her from an overachieving teacher into a lighthouse for women reclaiming their truth.
From the ache of divorce to the freedom of identity death, Jocelyn shares the raw moments that catalyzed her spiritual awakening. Together, we explore the somatic path of unbecoming — not as a breakdown, but as a conscious shedding of roles, masks, and outdated programming.
We explore:
Releasing co-dependent leadership dynamics and people-pleasing patterns
Navigating death cycles, pivots, and spiritual identity rebirths
How somatics bridge awareness and true embodiment
Why magnetism grows when we lead from truth, not performance
This episode is for the woman who’s ready to stop shapeshifting and start soul-shining. It’s a mirror, an invitation, and a transmission of what becomes possible when you stop performing for love — and choose to live in devotion to your highest Self.

What if the real journey isn’t about the destination…
but about who you become when you dare to connect?
In this intimate solo episode, I explore how travel — when approached with intention — becomes a sacred path of awakening. Moving across cities, cultures, and continents for over five years has taught me that connection, not sightseeing, is what truly transforms us.
I share personal stories of language barriers, culture shock, and the quiet moments of isolation that became doorways to deep remembrance. From childhood trauma around self-expression to the healing power of soulful connection with strangers, this episode unpacks the deeper layers of what it means to travel consciously.
We’ll journey through:
The ego-shattering gift of being a beginner again
How language shapes our thoughts, personality, and worldview
The hidden wounds around being seen, heard, and understood
The sacred magic of connecting heart-to-heart across cultures
Whether you’re a chronic traveller like myself or simply dreaming of a new experience, this is your invitation to travel with presence — to let every encounter become a mirror, a lesson, a portal into your most expanded, awake, and blissfully aware self.

What do you do when your soul feels flatlined and your body won’t get out of bed?
In this intimate solo episode, Alicja Zwardoń shares a raw behind-the-scenes account of a week spent in the shadows—depressed, lethargic, uninspired—and the slow, sacred climb back to baseline.

This isn’t a morning routine. It’s a reclamation of life force—one breath, one cry, one yoga pose at a time.
If you’ve ever felt like you're drowning in stillness or spiraling in your own thoughts, this episode is your rope back up.
✨ Come for:
— Somatic tools for emotional inertia
— A soulful breakdown of body awareness vs. mental story

What does it actually take to live in a bliss state—not just in fleeting moments, but as a baseline vibration?
In this episode, Ala sits down with Jacqui, founder of Upleveling Bliss, to explore how emotional sovereignty is forged—not through perfection, but through presence. They dive into the sneaky ways the ego protects us from love, how to shift from reactivity to resilience, and why laughter might be your most underestimated spiritual tool.
Jacqui shares the story of her transformation—from post-surgery reactivity to nervous system mastery—and how group intention work became her sacred path. Together, they explore how meditation, shadow work, and even scooter falls become training grounds for embodied joy.
This one’s for the woman ready to drop the armor, laugh at the ego, and stretch into the kind of bliss that holds you when nothing else does.

What if the version of you that seems “strong”... is just your most polished protection?
And what if the real path to freedom... is stripping it all off?
In this raw solo kickoff, your host Ala Zwardon takes you into the essence of what it means to be Bare and Aware. From emotional reactivity to spiritual awakening, from heartbreak to unconditional love, she shares her own story of shedding the layers of protection, perfection, and performance that kept her disconnected from her truth.
This episode is a love letter to your heart—the wild, tender, untamed heart that knows how to heal once you stop pretending and start feeling. Expect real talk on vulnerability, ego, somatic healing, and how to unlock the portal to divine bliss… no matter what life throws your way.
Let this be the beginning of your journey inward. The truth is: it’s safe to feel. And even safer to be.
We explore:
Why your “cool girl” persona might be blocking your healing
The hidden difference between true inner peace and the I-don’t-give-a-fuck masked emotional suppression
How to recognize when you’re fueling a mental story instead of feeling your truth
The practice that helped me shift my emotional reactivity and dissolve ego in real time
Why vulnerability is the first portal to spiritual liberation
You’ll also hear the untold backstory of this podcast—and how a wild child, ex-stripper, and bliss-loving mystic found her truth in the heart of chaos.
