Welcome to Angel’s Authentic Action Podcast, Sensual by Design series, brought to you by FunFast Productions and GAL Media, and supporting the Authentic Action School online. I’m your host, Gabrielle Angel Lilly, and I am here to wake you up, shake you up, maybe even break you up a little bit; by challenging your beliefs, examining our social constructs and biases, and offering diverse perspectives on living a good life.On this show, I will be interviewing and conversing with outstanding creators—artists, activists, actors, authors, poets, performers, musicians, movers, shakers, builders, teachers, preachers, healers, entrepreneurs, explorers, seekers, and speakers, who are deliberately designing lives they love, or at least, mostly love, with the intention of bringing you motivation, information, and inspiration to help you design a life you can love. I hope you will find sparks here which will expand your personal awareness and understanding of different perspectives; and fan the flames of your own unique desires.I like to dive in deep to uncover what motivates us, what scares us, what we love; and why and how we do the things we do.I believe we are ultimately all one, and also, each of us is a unique, tiny shiny ever-evolving spark of this Great Universe. I think we owe it to ourselves, and to each other, to explore and expand what we want to become, and to do what we can to become it. When any one of us builds a better life, it uplifts us all towards a better life. Especially when we share with one another.The Authentic Action School is an online school, specializing in empowerment, self-discovery, and helping you create a life you love.

    Festivus For The Rest Of Us and The Shadow Mandala

    Send us a text Holidays aren’t one-size-fits-all, and pretending they are can drain our spark. We lean into Festivus as a fresh frame for honesty—airing real grievances, naming the masks we wear to fit in, and choosing a small, brave reset when life feels stuck in the middle. I share why I’m running a 10-day personal reset anchored by a shadow mandala, a simple visual practice for meeting the parts of ourselves we’ve exiled as “too much” or “not enough,” and how that work helps chronic dis-ease shift toward coherence. We explore the hard truth about motivation: sometimes the stick works better than the carrot. Remembering the cost of inaction can push us to reclaim sleep, clear clutter, and protect the conditions for healing. From there, we get practical with The SHIFT framework from my book The Shift: Own Your Emotions, Own Your Life—turning emotions into usable data, creating a safe space to investigate patterns, feeling what we avoid, and alchemizing it into action. This is emotional fitness: the everyday reps that build freedom, resilience, and better choices. There’s also a new take on dragons. Instead of slaying what scares us, we wake it up and make it an ally. Shadow work, breath, posture, and voice become portals to the subconscious where symbols carry more weight than words. We practice coherence so we can stay calm when things get chaotic—and help others co-regulate back to center. You’ll leave with one prompt: choose a single, slightly uncomfortable shift today. Change a word in your story, retire one stale grievance, or put pen to paper and draw a circle around what you feel. If you’re ready for seasonal resets, community support, and tools that actually fit real life, hit play, subscribe, and share this with someone who could use a little shine. Then tell us: what’s the one shift you’ll make now?We use Festivus as an honest mirror for the holidays, unpacking shadow work, chronic dis-ease, and the courage it takes to reset when life feels mid and messy. A 10-day reset, a shadow mandala, and the SHIFT framework anchor a practical path toward emotional fitness and calm coherence. • honoring non-traditional holidays and personal rituals • 10-day reset structure and shadow mandala practice • chronic dis-ease, clutter, and self-healing strategies • hero’s journey resistance and the “too much” mask • airing grievances with self to release shame • dragons as hidden strengths within the shadow • carrot vs stick motivation and avoiding complacency • the SHIFT framework for emotional fitness • coherence, co-regulation, and calm under stress • one small brave shift to build momentum Sponsors and CTAs: go over to sleepingdragonsco.com You can find The Shift on Amazon now Come practice with me and get stronger So I really hope that you will join me and at least try If you join my human reboot dojo over on the school platform, you can ask me for a digital copy of that book anytime Support the show

    Are We Forgetting How To Be Together?

    Send us a text We explore why connection feels harder during the holidays and how nervous system overload, shifting roles, and quick-hit technology drain our capacity to gather. We offer small, practical tools to rebuild trust, start with self-regulation, and create new rituals that fit real life. • naming the loneliness trend and loss of trust • stories of risk, travel, and why trust grows with shared effort • catering vs cooking and the shame loop around time and money • tech distraction, dissolving roles, and invisible labor burnout • dopamine vs oxytocin and why slow talk feels hard now • interoception as the bridge from self to others • micro-practices to regulate before, during, and after gatherings • device baskets, one shared dish, and better gratitude rituals • new third spaces and a monthly three-day reset offer I hope you'll join me for my monthly three-day resets in the Human Reboot Dojo.

    Lying Hurts Liars, Let's talk about the spectrum of honesty... Sensual by Design

    Send us a text Welcome to Sensual by Design. This episode is about Honesty.  Most of us think or say we value honesty, but then why do we lie so much? In my experience we all lie, to ourselves and each other, at least to some degree.  I have long been curious and confused about why intention seems to matter so much when it comes to how dishonesty makes me feel.  We lie by omission, accident, by being misinformed, and lack of memory or cognition. We are not always even aware we are lying, and certainly not always malicious. There seems to be a spectrum of lying...and also in any given moment, from any given perspective,, we know if WE are lying (at least intentionally). I think we actually know when we are lying even if we are not aware of it, and that it causes systemic incoherence and ultimately inflammation and disease. It FEELS bad to lie, so even if the person we lie to never finds out, it still hurts us. Add to that, that we are all interconnected on some level, and it is easy to see that lying is at least as harmful to the liar as it is to the person being lied to. What do you think about that?

    What's That Smell Mean To You? The Fragrant link to our memories and moods...

    Send us a text Did you know that your sense of smell has more impact on your emotions than any of your other senses? As far as we know, this is because the olfactory bulbs are actually directly connected to the limbic system of our brains. Your limbic system includes the amydala--thought to be the seat of our emotions, and the hippocampus, though to be the center of associated learning.  So, that is why certain odors can trigger specific memories and the emotions associated with them AND why scents and fragrances can be used to trigger certain emotions and memories. Did you know smart marketers incorporate scent into their logo design? Both products and department store brands use scientifically formulated and patented scents to help identify themselves in our minds.  Did you know humans can identify over 10,000 distinct smells? We are more influenced by smell than you might think. Smells cross the blood brain barrier and are even more influential than sight or sound when it comes to our emotions.  Check out www.sleepingdragonsco.com for all your fragrance needs!
