    Ep 12: Samara Kasai - Exploring self-agency Manifesting while cancelling millennial hustle culture

    Today we’re so excited to welcome Samara Kasai to the show — a non-binary writer, intuitive counselor, and trauma-informed coach who helps people rethink what it means to love their lives instead of just surviving them. Through their work at Kasai Thrive, Samara blends deep emotional insight, nervous system awareness, and anti-oppression values to help folks move past burnout, reclaim creative energy, and live with intention and presence. Their perspective feels especially urgent for people who’ve spent years hustling, numbing, or holding themselves together on instinct rather than joy.
