Intimateconversationspodcast's Podcast

I can totally tell when someone is talking to talk but hasn't walked the walk. Gabrielle Stone is the real thing. She's fucking hysterical, totally gorgeous (even though I totally get she feels like a whale so far along in her pregnancy-been there xox) AND this woman has done the work and continues to.  She's a delicious blend of grounded practical reality meets woo woo and magic.  And I'm completely convinced she's married to such a great man because he's an external reflection of her internal healthy intimate relationship with herself.    In this exquisite conversation we also discussed...   How, after her first book Eat, Pray, #FML, her readers demanded more even though she was still a work in progress writing the sequel, The Ridiculous Misadventures of a Single Girl.    How the wound of finding her father dead at age 7 created the belief, When I love someone, they die... and how she healed that wound, found wholeness and attracted healthy love    How finding out about her ex-husband's affair and then fall

What an instant heartfelt reconnection with this amazing woman after being a guest on her acclaimed Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast. Karen is so bravely transparent about how angry and confused she was dealing with an exhausting toxic relationship. Then after a 3-year contentious divorce and starting over as a single mom, she put in tremendous effort to find herself. Faith is now her North Star and her kids have grown into emotionally intelligent successful adults. She and her Journey Beyond Divorce coaches have the blessing of taking men and women in high conflict or toxic relationships from a life of pain to possibility.    In this deeply connected conversation we also discussed… -How she shifted her people pleasing, codependence and perfectionism into not letting other's 'bad' behaviors cause her own. -How inner child work is more than shifting thoughts from 'you f'ing idiot' to 'I'm here for you'... true self compassion is about feelings in the body.  -How she knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that her idea

I believe breakups, divorces and infidelity nightmares come down to a lack of intimacy in relationships, which of course comes down to a lack of intimacy with ourselves. We're all doing our best, yet when any of us get close to the core vein of pain, that childhood wound, that traumatic nervous system response… our survival mechanisms of blame, stonewalling or disassociation often take over. Life has always given me clues to follow the path of healing. From my first wealthy husband to coaching Lisa Gibbons through Dancing with the Stars, to hosting sex education videos for the Sinclair Institute, to being interviewed by David de Angelo for Double your Dating... everything has helped me grow personally and become an even better facilitator of healing to my VIP clients. I certainly teach what I'm here to learn! Vulnerability meets credibility as we all ascend together. In this solo episode I also discussed... -My second marriage and divorce, coupled with my mom's death and a lengthy custody battle... and how th

I thought I'd been through a lot of challenges in my life. Not compared to the extraordinary Lauri.  She's my inspiration, she's our community's inspiration and I know she'll expand your point of view of what's possible. From the early years of addiction to the loss of her friend, a devastating rock-climbing accident, the loss of her daughter and now raising a three and a six-year-old, this woman was ready for retirement, and everything has changed. She is the embodiment of bravery itself. The process I've had the honor of taking her through and the extraordinary support of the coaching community, have created nothing short of miraculous transformations, deep effective conversations, and the awakening of an unbreakable spirit of magic and wonder in this modern-day goddess. In this vulnerable tearjerker of an inspiring conversation, we also discussed... -How getting clear on your deal breakers allows for your partner to be honored with clear direction and step up effectively -What it feels like to truly surren

What's a Sex & Intimacy Surrogate Partner?    Court is brave. He gets asked really stupid questions, interrogating, insensitive questions... and still his heart is huge, his integrity impeccable and his authenticity refreshing.  I love how we started talking about sex based on how our moms raised us! It was fascinating to discover the arc of the relationship of a certified surrogate partner with their client. Court and I have a similar superpower to see a client's blind spot. We also agree on the exponential results possible in immersive structures rather than a one off session here and there. His retreats are sold out, he adores the work he does and continues to expand his impact to support people's erotic freedom, embodiment and somatic wellness.  We also discussed... -What exactly his sex and intimacy surrogate partner relationships look like and what kind of clients are an ideal fit -How he works with a team of therapists, advisors and mentors for a holistic approach and support system for the client

On the other side of death is truth… that quote is literally tattooed on Azrya's arm. Indeed the only way through is through. This couple's story of their relationship and how they are willing to feel everything from devastation to rapture... is breathtaking. Talking about anxiety and how that fear paralyzes intimacy, this couple has the ugly cries. Yet they're willing to lean in and take ownership to the point of being curious even about conflict, such that they never fight although they might disagree.  They even went through two death portals during their relationship where they thought it would literally end, yet their willingness to never hinder each other's fullest self-expression or block who they were designed to be…. gave them the courage to fully let go into the unknown... and unexpected miracles unfolded each time.  Completely delicious... and a reminder when we become the one and find the one, we need to still keep beQoming.    In this glorious conversation we also discussed…   -What Ayahuasca is

In this solo episode I dissected How anxiety, fear, activated emotions and unresolved past traumas can get in the way of delicious intimacy, deep connection and soul shaking love. I transparently share my own journey of relationships from my 1st boyfriend, husband's and recent relationship.  I do my best to make a safe place for those smart successful people in this world who still haven't found healthy intimacy and keep attracting dysfunctional partners... There is more than hope, there are proven solutions. There is a path to cultivating healthy nourishing intimate relationships where both people are literally better together.  And the feeling of fulfillment, gratitude and Victory given how hard you work to get here feels like nothing short of bliss, grace… sacred rapture, oneness. Because you no longer hope that the universe has your back, you no longer think it, you actually know in your soul.  In this episode I also discussed... -How I believe our relationship pattern mirror Joseph Campbell's Hero's Jour

It's amazing when you start an intimate, connected, committed journey with someone… where it will go. I've had the honor of coaching Carla for 5 years and watch her life literally transform professionally, personally, romantically, parentally... Now I'm blessed to have Carla narrate my 6 books and my 10 Allana Pratt Method Processes as a deeply talented voice over artist. Soon l will surrender to her as she trains to be an Allana Pratt Method coach and processes my sh*t!  I love this woman and you will too...     In this delicious conversation we also discussed…   How being so much more in her body allowed her to release judgment and mediocrity and go for her dreams (and succeed!)   What she did the morning of the pre record when her car wouldn't start...    What she initially resisted for a year has turned out to catapult her capacity for brave vulnerability and deep heart connection  --------------------------------- p.s.

I can't tell you how delicious it is when I meet somebody who speaks the same language. TJ gets it. Lives it... teaches it. There's so much value in presence, in feeling our feelings, in integrating our activated emotions, so that we can cultivate deeper more meaningful relationships. We CAN become that trusted person that our lover or friends turn to because they know we're not going to fix them. TJ and I spoke of the importance and the gift of having someone on the healing journey who we can be deeply vulnerable with as we heal in their safe, non-judgmental presence.   In this discussion around shame and recovery, we also discussed...   How even after TJ was sober, he felt suicidal because the unresolved emotions were beginning to surface.   How true presence takes decades to cultivate and yet allows for pure joy to emerge as our very essence.    How to specifically talk to and be with ourselves when emotions are activated in a way that integrates them into wholeness rather than resist, deny or avoid them. 

'Never again' she said after a several decade relationship ended in a 20 minute conversation. This led to a profound 6 year soul searching journey where she discovered how she had been shrink-fitting herself to find love. Turns out the magic was not only in her Ex, she discovered it was in herself. And we had a complete melding of the minds to understand that the body, mind, heart and soul are unique aspects with unique jobs. And when we follow our Bliss we must follow our soul. And when I ask her what is the single most powerful tool in her evolution… well you're going to have to listen to the episode to hear her answer! I was completely delighted!    In this stunning conversation we also discussed…   -The power of purging your 'smoot' (a spiritual technical term xox)   -Why spiritual practices are not one and done, they require consistency   -How her family was a safe place to land, even when she came out with her sexual orientation    --------------------------------- p.s.

A Dose of Positivity, the name of Mike's latest book, is a massive understatement. This man, his book and his message is a dose of life altering, heart expanding, embodied potent grounded Bliss.  Mike shared his own personal journey of addiction, lack of mentors or guidance from for his athletic abilities... Yet his willingness to consistently do the right thing even though it was hard, has created nothing short of miracles in his life.    His story of what I will call self-ownership, humility and nobility healed a place inside my heart. There are great men on this planet. Not perfect men. But brave men who do the right thing when no one's looking. I believe Mike is one of these men. What an honor to share his essence with you :)    In this epic conversation we discussed... -Practical tools to move through trauma into presence and action  -What it really means to slow down, feel, know your intuitive truth and align your actions in integrity with your soul -The sacred discipline of honoring your body, stretchi

In this vulnerable did-I-really-say-that episode, I reveal my own journey with shame. It started at church as a little girl, then made wrong for apparently almost killing my sister, wrong for being a Little Bo Peep, wrong for dancing like a Sufi dancer to Jesus Christ Superstar in the living room. And then I reveal the Monster in the closet of my psychedelic somatic integration protocol journey… that there must be something fundamentally wrong with me... only to discover I am an innocent child of God doing her best, like all of us. Only to discover when you lean into that pile of shame-shit, you discover there's a pony in there somewhere!  Only to discover we are not bad after all.    In this transparent episode I also discussed...   How my clients deal with shame about wanting money, wanting to be pursued, wanting a thinner body.   How the wound of my 1st boyfriend after a year and a 1/2, losing losing his virginity at a party... with someone else.    How the death of my best friend/brother-figure cracked th

Everyone evolves at their own pace, their soul has its unique journey and yet holy shit Sean is waking up. Fast!  I remember when he joined the community it was a 50th birthday present to himself to invest in his evolution after being blind sided by a painful divorce. He's bravely felt his feelings, taken ownership of his growth opportunities, he does the work and values his open heart more than ever before. Facilitating his journey of 'becoming the one' heals me too because he helps me believe in men, that there are men committed to doing the inner work. I can't wait to see the delight on his face when he meets his ideal partner and shares his big beautiful heart with her.  She will be a lucky woman :) We also discussed...   -How it was hard to hear why his ex wife wanted a divorce -How challenging it's been to drop out of his head and into his heart yet oh, so worth it! -How choosing to focus on 'becoming the one' is setting up his sons for a healthy relationship future    ---------------------------------

I love talking to return guests to see how they've evolved over the years. Aaron is thriving leading retreats all over the world and even more deeply grounded than I remember. He was waking up in Bali drinking his coconut water as I was ending my day in Wyoming with a glass of wine :-) We shared about the masculine and feminine energy within us all, and do our inner masculine and feminine get along? Honor each other? Express their truth?  How do we stay more embodied with breath,  movement and sound? How do the men he works with move through loneliness, depression and blame into embodied awakened masculinity? We also discussed... -How Aaron hears from men that they feel blamed or shamed by their partners for expressing their emotions -How he honors his own inner feminine and inner masculine when it comes to relationship desires -How hes thrilled to be living his purpose traveling 9 months a year leading retreats all over the globe while replenishing in Bali --------------------------------- p.s.

Talk about a rich, juicy, vulnerable, connected, authentic call with a brother from another mother on the other side of the globe. What a blessing, honor and privilege to receive Blake's transparent share of his recent reconfiguration and rebirth. What a reminder of the importance of surrounding ourselves with non judgmental beings who see us and give us a sense of warmth. What a statement of the evolution of humanity talking about the gifts that psychedelics can bring our growth and embodiment. And what a poignant conversation about the new paradigm of conscious transparent leadership as coaches. I think you'll listen to this one a few times over, I know I will :-) We also discussed...   -The desires to go into the shadows with our clients and our lovers  -How to honor the cocoon our body, mind and spirit requires when we go through rebirthing transformations  -How plant medicines used with intention can be such powerful appreciated allies  --------------------------------- p.s.

As I research about loneliness, blame and depression, so much of our human need for connection goes wonky when we put our singular focus on getting that connection from others, without balancing that out with inner connection.  Some of the research I found I completely agreed with and yet others I feel perpetuate the problem of loneliness by over focusing on secondary consciousness, our thoughts, beliefs and stories… and under focuses on our primary consciousness where the majority of our unresolved subconscious wounds lie. I also discussed... -  The deeper connection and trust I have with my body the more easily loneliness dissolves into communion -  How many of my Allana Pratt Method processes allow for the healthy expression and effective integration of anger into fierce love -  How I'd been ashamed to be lonely given I've done so much 'work', and that it's OK to be human, in fact human is what we came here to be. --------------------------------- p.s.

Oh, how I love this woman! I love how she explained her desire for evolution and being sacredly challenged to keep discovering more of who she is and what's possible. I so appreciate her bravery to feel and to let it be OK that she navigates death in her own unique brilliant way. I love how being on Team Allana and doing my coaching processes with my coaches has contributed to her integrating trauma to speak up, let go, and literally manifest an epic relationship and move to a new State. The way she guides and inspires the team is nothing short of breathtaking.  We all feel so held and supported by her. Everyone is upleveling their contribution because of her leadership. I love how quickly she courageously drops into truth. I'm the luckiest woman alive that she has my back.  We also discussed...   -  How operating on top of unprocessed emotions doesn't work   -  How sitting in the fire and being patient with her man gave her everything she desired and more   -  How being on a team where everyone is safe to b

God, I love these two. They do the work. They take ownership. They know we'll never get there or be perfect. They know how to repair a rupture; they acknowledge how the other brings out the best in them. They're living their purpose and facing their fears and integrating their traumas. They have such compassion for one another's body's programs of trauma that get triggered from time to time. They've absolutely committed that they're not going anywhere in the face of anything, ever. And as such, they catapult into a reality of partnership, co-creation and contribution that I've rarely seen.  --------------------------------- p.s. Take our FREE Assessment.

This was basically like interviewing sacred psychedelic superstars... my amazing practitioner Annie and her teacher Saj.  While everything I've done for the past 20 years on my personal growth path has been supportive, nothing until PSI had cracked the code on why I kept attracting abusive romantic relationships and professional situations.  The profound sense of self forgiveness is beyond words, the wellbeing I've never known possible is becoming more common. This conversation explains the science of our bodies and psychedelics, as well as the heartfelt experience of being at rest, heart open, trusting our bodies and honoring their capacity to bring us home into wholeness. I am thrilled beyond measure to bring this possibility of life beyond trauma home to you and your body... for it's the deepest key to intimacy. We also discussed: -The 'iceberg and why talk therapy isn't enough -The potency of surrendering to the body's wisdom -Understanding dissociation and our body's inner 'pharmacy' -The importance of

What a treat after interviewing over 850 in my life… to have you all to myself in my first solo episode! I talked to you about what trauma means, how it happens and what it looks like in an adult. I shared my experience of my own unresolved trauma and how I’m healing it with the help of the PSI protocol. This journey has shown me how life is ALWAYS for us and how trusting our BODY is key. I’ve over relied on my mind, yet it's been my sweet body’s wisdom that has taken me back to still point and rest in a way that makes me more receptive, relaxed, open and expansive than ever before…   I also discussed: -What it took for me to heal from childhood trauma -The power of psychedelic medicine and somatic work -Integrating shame, building resilience and experiencing exquisite stillness within --------------------------------- p.s.
