She sees it as her life’s work to help people reconnect with nature and the medicine inherent to it.

    14. Finding Power in The Void with Alexia Kremer

    You left what you knew but don't know what's next. Now what? Alexia Kremer walked away from a thriving career in 3D art she once loved to build something aligned with her essence. Next came The Void, a period of ambiguity and dissolution that taught her lessons only earned from experience. Alexia and Saara dive into the liminal space so many of us find ourselves in today, exploring what it is, why it’s necessary, and how to connect with its medicine. They also discuss why embodiment isn’t just spiritual theory but a practical framework for sustainable success, the power of archetypes in understanding our patterns and potential, and the Empress Way: Alexia’s approach to building empires through partnership, not force.

    10. Why Integration is as Productive as Action

    In this episode of Rich Souls, we’re asking the tough question: when’s the last time you took time for yourself to integrate all that you’ve been moving through? We discuss the necessity of stillness and reflection, especially for self development junkies. Let this be your reminder to welcome extended periods of solitude as a vital part of your rising. Takeaways It's essential to take space to integrate experiences Integration requires time away from distractions Nature can be a powerful tool for reflection and integration We often inundate ourselves with data and experiences Taking breaks helps us align to a higher version of ourselves Stillness is a requirement, not a nice-to-have, for anyone trying to reach their potential 00:00 The Importance of Integration 06:59 Embracing Stillness and Reflection Resources Mentioned Being is Your Contribution: Why Doing Less Leads to MoreLife is an Experiment * Connect with Saara Twitter: ⁠https://x.com/saaralampwalla⁠ Threads: ⁠https://www.threads.com/@saaralampwalla⁠ Instagram: ⁠https://instagram.com/saaralampwalla⁠ TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@richsoulswithsaara⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/saaralampwalla/⁠ YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@RichSoulsPod⁠ Substack: ⁠https://richsouls.substack.com/

    9. On Sovereignty

    In this episode of Rich Souls, we’re exploring the role of sovereignty in self development. We talk about using discernment in a world filled with distractions and the significance of agency in navigating tests and triggers. I also share a personal experience that sheds light on a part of my journey of self discovery, how I approach feedback from loved ones, and how being messy has been liberating in my personal process. We also talk about how pain is a purifying force and I remind everyone about the value of energetic hygiene practices nowadays. Takeaways Sovereignty is self governance Discernment is crucial in filtering distractions and information Tests and triggers are milestones in our personal evolution Pain is purifying and leads to growth Messy processes are part of the human experience Feedback from others can help illuminate our blind spots We want to use our intuition to discern what is true for us Energetic hygiene practices help maintain sovereignty Living in alignment with our values fosters confidence Chapters 01:14 The Importance of Self Governance 03:38 Discernment and Agency 06:33 Vision and Resistance 08:16 Tests and Triggers as Milestones 14:30 Navigating Feedback and Projections 17:33 Embracing the Messiness of Life 20:21 Pain as Purification 23:59 Practicing Energetic Hygiene 25:13 Key Themes and Insights Resources Mentioned Learning to Swim DownstreamBeing Messy is Cool* Connect with Saara Twitter: https://x.com/saaralampwalla Threads: https://www.threads.com/@saaralampwalla Instagram: https://instagram.com/saaralampwalla TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@richsoulswithsaara LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/saaralampwalla/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RichSoulsPod Substack: https://richsouls.substack.com/
