In episode 27, host Ariana Cleo sits down with Alison Sinatra, a spiritual teacher, ritualist, and guide who has spent over two decades exploring ancient healing traditions, sacred plant medicine, and the transformative power of ritual and prayer.

Alison shares her extraordinary journey Into the Woo, beginning at age 31 when a series of spiritual experiences—including a silent meditation retreat, a prophetic lucid dream, and her first plant medicine ceremonies—completely transformed her life. What began as a search for something deeper ultimately led her to her husband, motherhood, and a life dedicated to helping others reconnect with the Divine.

In this episode, we dive into:

• Plant Medicine & Sacred Ceremony:** Alison shares her decades of experience working with plant medicine, her role as a ceremonial guardian, and why integrating spiritual experiences into everyday life is more important than the ceremony itself.
• Birth Imprints & Inner-Child Healing:** Could the circumstances of our birth shape the way we experience the world? Alison explores prenatal and birth imprints, early childhood conditioning, and how revisiting these experiences can offer a new perspective on emotional patterns and healing.
• Spirit Guides & Divine Connection:** From ancestral guardians and angels to sacred elements, Alison and Ariana share their personal experiences connecting with spiritual guides and unseen sources of wisdom.
• The Power of Prayer & Ritual:** Alison reframes prayer as an elevated thought rather than a religious obligation, sharing how gratitude, intention, and a simple daily water ritual can help us reconnect with ourselves and the natural world.
• Sacred Motherhood & Feminine Healing:** How movement, breathwork, compassionate inquiry, and ritual can support women through motherhood, emotional transformation, and reclaiming their inner wisdom.
• Whether you're curious about plant medicine, exploring your own spiritual awakening, or looking for a deeper connection to yourself, this conversation reminds us that healing doesn't always require an extraordinary experience. Sometimes, it begins with a moment of stillness, a glass of water, and a simple prayer.

In episode 26, host Ariana Cleo sits down with Mayssa Chehata, founder and CEO of Behave Candy and host of the Rock Bottom Podcast, to explore what happens when the life you're trying to manifest has to fall apart before something new can take its place.

Mayssa began her journey as a true Woo skeptic. But after leaving her corporate career to build Behave, she entered a period that challenged nearly every part of her identity—from divorce and family struggles to the pressures of building an investor-backed company and eventually hitting what she describes as her rock bottom. Along the way, spirituality went from something she actively resisted to an essential part of how she healed.

In this episode, we dive into:

• Manifestation & the Life Blow-Up: Why calling in a radically different life can force us to confront the beliefs, relationships, and patterns that no longer align with who we're becoming.

• Rock Bottom & Reinvention: Mayssa opens up about navigating divorce, family addiction, entrepreneurship, financial pressure, and the period that ultimately forced her to turn inward.

• Mushrooms & the Journey Into the Woo: How her first mushroom experience gave her a new reference point for love, acceptance, connection, and what might exist beyond the life she could see.

• Inner-Child Healing: How a manifestation program unexpectedly led Mayssa into deeper inner-child work and helped her begin understanding the wounds and subconscious patterns shaping her adult life.

• Prayer, Signs & Breath-work: From asking the universe for signs and seeing white butterflies and repeating numbers to discovering prayer and breath-work, Mayssa shares the practices that helped her move out of fight-or-flight and reconnect with herself.

• Whether you're navigating your own rock bottom, questioning the life you've built, or wondering why everything seems to be falling apart just as you're trying to call in something new, this conversation is a reminder that sometimes transformation begins with disruption.

In Episode 25, host Ariana Cleo sits down with Dr. Shefali—clinical psychologist, New York Times best-selling author, and the visionary leader of the conscious parenting movement. Together, they explore why conscious parenting is super important and how parenting serves as one of our greatest spiritual opportunities to dissolve our egos, heal ourselves, and break generational patterns.

Dr. Shefali challenges us to look in the mirror, unpack our unhealed triggers, and move away from rigid cultural conditioning to arrive at our most authentic self.

In this episode, we discuss:
-The Importance of Conscious Parenting: Why raising our own consciousness is the most crucial work a parent can do, far transcending gentle parenting behavioral strategies.
-Healing Generational Trauma: How breaking old generational patterns and trauma allows us to step into our most authentic selves.
-Confronting the Ego & Triggers: Understanding how our children act as mirrors for our unhealed inner child, offering us a profound invitation to grow.
-Becoming Your Own Parent: Why true liberation begins when we stop looking for external validation and learn to soothe, love, and parent ourselves.
-The "Asshole" Manifestation Theory: A refreshing take on why difficult people will always cross our paths, but keeping them in our lives is entirely our choice.
-Speed Round Fun: Dr. Shefali shares her Cancer sun sign, her boundaries on extreme woo-woo modalities, and the one survival product she must have on a desert island.
