Summary
Ep 117. Statistically, there are 15 core people in our lives who will show up when sh$# hits the fan – our mother’s funeral, a cancer diagnosis – they’re on the next plane. What if instead of filling our schedules working towards buying more things, we spent time nurturing the relationships that are truly all we have? In a modern day loneliness epidemic, lack of connection is becoming a disease, but our generation can turn it around. Sah D’Simone is here to say that even though relationships are hard, families are messy, and conflict is scary, this is the only path back to love and longevity. Sah is a spiritual leader, hospital chaplain who supports those at the end of life, and international best-selling author of Spiritually We. In this episode, he breaks down how to increase our capacity so that we can hold space for our people and right our relationships.
HERE’S THE JUICE:
-
Why human connection is a basic biological need (and how we’ve gotten so far away)
-
Why pop psychology is doing us a disservice by teaching us to cut off relationships with conflict instead of learning to face it
-
The difference between how easy it is to be spiritual alone in meditation vs. at the family dinner table when triggers come up
-
How to nurture true connection over complain culture and trauma-bonding relationships
-
Why your closest relationships are often the most triggering
-
How to live with integrity and what a lack of integrity looks like in your closest bonds
-
Why “conflict is your lovers” how to resolve conflict in a healthy way
-
Why time away from your parents may be necessary to grow and heal, but the goal is to always bring it back around
-
Why intellectualizing your feelings and making meaning keeps you from feeling your feelings
-
How to support someone in grief and the magnitude of holding space for loss

| 0:00.0 | Hello podcast family. I figured I would just chat with you guys for a second before today's |
| 0:08.8 | episode because I've just been reflecting a lot on the podcast lately and how much I'm really starting |
| 0:16.7 | to just deeply enjoy this season and how it's growing and evolving in real time as I get a chance |
| 0:24.4 | to talk to these incredible people and share them with you. I'll be honest, you know, when I started |
| 0:30.9 | season five, I was not prepared. I didn't feel ready on a spiritual level. I didn't feel ready on like a human capacity |
| 0:39.9 | level. I was jumping into doing it on my own for the first time like I told you guys. And I knew that |
| 0:47.2 | I had to do that because I knew that the podcast was asking to become something different. It kind of like needed a new life and it wanted to |
| 0:57.5 | move into a different form. And I think that's the thing that's really fascinating about projects. |
| 1:02.5 | Like projects have their own living, breathing energy. They are kind of like their own entities in a way. |
| 1:09.0 | And sometimes a project, whether it's an art piece, |
| 1:12.3 | a book that you're writing, whatever it is that you're working on, sometimes it asks you |
| 1:19.2 | if you could help it to become something different, if you could kind of facilitate its birth |
| 1:24.6 | of a new iteration. And you can feel when it's time. I feel like that with my business, |
| 1:28.8 | my business in general, organic Olivia, my tinctures. It's also asking me for a bit of a different |
| 1:35.3 | iteration. And I didn't know what that was going to look like. And that's the hardest part of |
| 1:41.3 | jumping into anything that you have to do in life before you |
| 1:44.7 | feel ready, which is the reality of most situations and how we grow as humans. You just don't know |
| 1:51.4 | what it's going to look like. You feel like you're walking into the unknown, but you know that you have to |
| 1:54.9 | walk anyway. And, you know, I flew to California early this year in February and just reach out to a bunch of people and booked all these random studios and started doing all this on my own. |
| 2:06.1 | I went headfirst in. I wasn't necessarily feeling as connected or even enjoying it in like a spiritual way in the beginning. |
| 2:15.5 | I was loving the science piece of it and we had some |
| 2:18.3 | really special guests on like Zach Bush that started to ignite that fire in me of like, |
