Summary
I came to Brazil for Carnival thinking I would stay for a week. That was a month ago. And I am still here.
What started as a "little carnival moment" turned into one of the most expansive, liberating and eye opening experiences of my life. And I had to share everything I learned with you.
Because here is what I know now: sexiness is not about your body. It is about how alive you are. And Carnival taught me that more than anything ever has.
In this episode I am sharing everything, the herstory of Carnival, the logistics, the culture, the kissing, the outfits, the safety tips for female solo travelers, and most importantly, the state of consciousness that Brazil lives in every single day that we have been missing in the Western world.
In this episode we explore:
🌺 The origin of Carnival and the god of chaos who started it all
💃 What the Brazil Carnival experience is actually like and how to navigate it
👄 The kissing culture in Brazil and what it taught me about flirting and feminine energy
✨ Why sexiness is a state of consciousness and has nothing to do with your body
🎭 The difference between Brazil and Trinidad Carnival and how to choose
🛍️ Everything you need to know about the outfits, the blocos and when to go
🌍 Safety tips for female solo travelers in Brazil
🎶 What Brazilian culture taught me about joy, friendship and the way we were meant to live
You are the carnival. You get to be in that vibration every single day.

| 0:05.5 | I'm too hairy. |
| 0:06.2 | I'm too this. |
| 0:06.7 | I'm too that. And what I love about Brazilians is it doesn't matter what size their body is. Like, they let it out. They shake it. And they're like, look at me. I'm so freaking hot. Just flows when to let go. Yeah. Just flows when I let go |
| 0:19.8 | I'm the one I've been waiting for |
| 0:22.2 | This flows and I let go |
| 0:24.5 | I'm the one I've been waiting for. |
| 0:22.5 | Welcome back to the highest health podcast. |
| 0:35.5 | My name is Sahara Rose on this podcast. |
| 0:54.7 | I love to talk about spirituality, the sacred feminine, but make it modern, fun, grounded and relatable. And should I say colorful now that I'm here recording to you live from Brazil. So I came here a month ago thinking I'm just going to do a little carnival moment. I heard so much about Rio Carnival and it's been a month and I still haven't left and I've decided I'm going to |
| 0:59.1 | stay for two more and maybe just the rest of my life. And I wanted to do an episode all about |
| 1:05.4 | the carnival state of consciousness and how we can embody that radiance, that colorfulness, that sexiness every single |
| 1:14.0 | day in our lives. |
| 1:15.1 | Because the truth is, you are the carnival. |
| 1:17.9 | You get to be in that vibration, that consciousness of celebration and joy, that the world |
| 1:23.3 | is so seeking that we as individuals are so looking for and often in these places that make us |
| 1:30.0 | feel more empty and void from the other side. So I wanted to share my experience, travel tips, |
| 1:36.6 | if you're interested in doing carnival, everything I've learned from this experience, the story, |
| 1:41.0 | the her story behind it and so much more. So keep in mind, I'm not a carnival |
| 1:46.4 | expert. I have been learning. I've been traveling with fellow Brazilian sisters who I just |
| 1:52.1 | adore so much. And so there's so much more to the history of this as well that I likely won't |
