    Your Nervous System Decides How Much Success You Can Hold | Daniela Arango

    Nervous system regulation and money — why your capacity to hold success, visibility and income is built in the body, not the strategy. What if the thing blocking your growth is not your strategy, but your nervous system? Daniela Arango, a business mentor for women entrepreneurs, shares the near-death experience that rewired her life, the psychic awakening that changed everything in Bali, and the reason she now believes success only expands when you do. Daniela unpacks why doing more can actually keep you stuck, and how nervous system regulation shapes your ability to hold money, visibility, and success without spiralling into overwork or fear. Daniela also reveals how she built a business from intuition, created her program From Force to Resonance, and learned to trust what she sees without needing external validation. In this episode you will discover: - How a near-death experience turned into a wake-up call for a completely different life - How Bali opened Daniela's psychic abilities and changed how she sees people - The hidden way your body can sabotage income, visibility, and growth - How to tell when you are operating from fear, pressure, or your mind - Why intuition and action have to work together to create real momentum - How to hold boundaries when you can see deeper than other people can Daniela also shares the real impact of seeing so much in others, how that changed her relationships, and why she now believes your mission is not just something you do, it is who you are. If you have ever felt stuck between knowing what you want and actually moving toward it, this conversation will meet you right there. For entrepreneurs, healers, and anyone who knows they are meant for more but keeps hitting an invisible wall. ---------------------------------------- CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction 01:12 The Near-Death Experience That Changed Everything 08:23 Bali and Psychic Awakening 18:10 Building a Life and Business in Sweden 20:20 The Call to Quit 22:07 Stepping Back to Build What's Next 24:47 Intuition, Fear, and Trusting the Unknown 29:40 Relationships, Boundaries, and Seeing Deeply 33:58 How Her Work Evolved 38:40 Communicating with Higher Beings 43:01 The Nervous System, Money, and Success 50:05 Creating a Business in Alignment 57:01 Purpose, Mission, and Support 01:03:31 Closing the Gap Between Knowing and Doing ---------------------------------------- CONNECT WITH DANIELA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamdanielaarango/ Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6cvxuwrjAErfabY0FdyC2m?si=51877c41ab01473e CONNECT WITH SHERINE Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sherinesalem_/ Work with Sherine: https://www.sherine-salem.com/ CONNECT WITH SEEK WITHIN Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seekwithinwithsherine/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/42CrhW8JUaEmYhVTMqOL43?si=49dbe6ca266042c4 #nervoussystemregulation #moneymindset #womenentrepreneurs #neardeathexperience #intuition #spiritualawakening #seekwithin

    From Dissociation to Alignment | Saskia Farr

    Redefining success as alignment instead of achievement — and what happens when the next goal never changes how you feel. What if success is not the next goal, but moving from alignment? Saskia Farr grew up between Botswana and South Africa, went to boarding school at twelve, and moved to the Netherlands alone three years ago. She shares how home, purpose, yoga and self-trust all start to make sense when you stop outsourcing the answers. Sherine and Saskia unpack what it means to build a life far from where you grew up, why home can be a feeling more than a place, and how the pressure to keep achieving quietly pulls you out of yourself. Saskia also opens up about the turning points that led her from numbing out during lockdown to yoga and meditation. In this episode you will discover: - Why success can be defined by alignment, not outcomes - What it really looks like to make yourself your own friend - How a dopamine menu helps you regulate in real life, alongside journaling and meditation - How Saskia approaches tarot as a study - A yoga retreat in Botswana that is all about nature, memory, and returning to where Saskia feels most herself If you’ve ever felt split between who you are, where you are, and who you’re becoming, this conversation will meet you there. Perfect for anyone craving clarity, a calmer relationship with ambition, and a reminder that the answers are usually closer than you think. --- Chapters 00:00 Introduction 00:40 Saskia’s Roots and the Meaning of Home 08:03 Success, Alignment and Purpose 17:59 Finding Yoga and Building a Meaningful Life 24:16 Bringing the Retreat Home to Botswana 30:05 Meditation, Emotions and Self-Regulation 35:49 Tarot, Spirituality and Synchronicity 47:16 Daily Rituals, Reading and Imposter Syndrome 56:53 Happiness, Attachment and Awareness 01:07:01 Closing Reflection: Alignment --- CONNECT WITH SASKIA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saskiafarr/ Retreat: https://www.wetravel.com/i/6a0af771ea996abc1ad360e5#8-day-yoga-safari-retreat Website: http://subtlesessions.squarespace.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@SubtleSesssions CONNECT WITH SHERINE Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sherinesalem_/ Work 1:1 with Sherine: https://www.sherine-salem.com/ CONNECT WITH SEEK WITHIN Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seekwithinwithsherine/ Youtube: https://youtube.com/@seekwithinwithsherine?si=3c3xatvqZN1e4jkz Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/42CrhW8JUaEmYhVTMqOL43?si=49dbe6ca266042c4 Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/seek-within/id6799130857 #alignment #redefiningsuccess #yogateacher #tarot #meditation #expatlife #botswana #seekwithin

    Breathwork and somatic healing for overthinkers — how to stop analysing yourself and start actually changing. What if the overthinking you call protection is keeping you from the change you need most? Amelie Chretien, a breathwork and somatic healing facilitator, shares the session that cracked something open, why that primal scream became a turning point, and how to break the loop of understanding yourself without changing anything. Sherine and Amelie break down what breathwork and somatic healing actually are, from functional breathing and pranayama to conscious connected breathwork, yoga nidra, and body-based practices that bring you out of your head and back into your body.

    Heal Your Inner Child | Guided Meditation

    This meditation was created through inspiration from the people I work with and the journeys they are moving through.
