    #20: Damian Schechter – How Plant Medicine & Emotional Accountability Transformed My Life

    In this episode of The Deeply Aligned, I’m joined by Damian Schechter, a fitness coach and entrepreneur who seemed to have it all—an enviable physique, a thriving business, and a picture-perfect life. But behind the scenes, Damien was battling the pressure to prove his worth, using external validation as a shield against unresolved pain. After a tough breakup forced him to choose between spiraling down or leveling up, Damien took the road less traveled. With the help of plant medicine, brutal self-examination, and a willingness to walk away from a life that no longer served him, Damien embarked on a profound journey of healing and growth. We dive into: Damien’s decision to leave a prestigious job and build his own coaching businessHow his pursuit of success led to personal and relational breakdownsThe transformative role of plant medicine in uncovering his authentic selfThe balance between ambition, self-care, and emotional accountabilityLessons in walking away, rebuilding, and finding purpose through painThis is not just a story about reinvention—it’s a raw, real exploration of what it means to stop performing for the world and start living authentically. 🔔 If this conversation sparks something in you, subscribe for more stories about alignment, purpose, and self-discovery. #DamienSchechter #DeeplyAlignedPodcast #FromBurnoutToBreakthrough #HealingJourney #SelfRediscovery #EntrepreneurshipLessons#PlantMedicineHealing #EmotionalAccountability #PurposeDrivenLife #SelfDevelopmentJourney #OvercomingPressure#AlignmentAndGrowth #AuthenticLiving #BreakupToBreakthrough #Inspiration Support the podcast: Share this episode with a friend 🙏Rate, review, and follow the podcastSubscribe to the YouTube channelFollow @deeplyalignedpodcast on Instagram★ Join the Deeply Aligned Newsletter – Ready to rethink "success" and design a deeply aligned life that lights you up?

    #19: From Burnout to Breakthrough: How Emily-Jane Saroff Found Alignment and Built a $100K Online Business

    Ever wonder what it takes to walk away from a life you’ve meticulously built and start fresh? In this episode of The Deeply Aligned, I’m joined by Emily Jane Saroff, a former architecture graduate who did the unthinkable: she left her nearly-completed degree and a stable career path to follow her heart into the unknown. At just 22 years old, Emily faced the daunting challenge of pivoting from a path she had invested years and thousands of dollars into, but in doing so, she found a life of fulfillment—and a $100,000 income in just eight months. Emily shares the raw, real moments of burnout, the fear of wasting her education, and the courage it took to listen to her gut when everyone around her doubted her choice. This is more than a story about leaving a career; it’s about learning to trust yourself, rewriting the rules, and finding alignment with your true purpose. We dive into: Emily’s journey from architecture to entrepreneurshipThe internal conflict of pursuing passion versus following societal expectationsHow she overcame fear, embraced opportunity costs, and built a new lifeLessons in self-trust, clarity, and making the boldest decisionsBalancing practicality with intuition to create a deeply aligned lifeThis inspiring conversation is a reminder that the hardest decisions often lead to the most rewarding transformations. 🔔 If this story resonates with you, make sure to subscribe for more deep dives into alignment, purpose, and self-discovery! #EmilyJaneSaroff #DeeplyAligned #TrustYourself #LifePivot #EntrepreneurshipJourney #OvercomingBurnout #SelfDiscovery #SunkCostFallacy #PurposeDrivenLife #OpportunityCost Support the podcast: Share this episode with a friend 🙏Rate, review, and follow the podcastSubscribe to the YouTube channelFollow @deeplyalignedpodcast on Instagram★ Join the Deeply Aligned Newsletter – Ready to rethink "success" and design a deeply aligned life that lights you up?
