Today’s conversation is so freaking good. Emma Dunwoody is with us, and her story is just so inspiring; from her struggle with mental health and depression, to her journey with meditation + neuroscience, and finally discovering her purpose within Human Design.
Emma Dunwoody is a qualified Master Coach and Human Behavioral Specialist who wakes people up to the power within them using her unique method of Transformational Human Design(TM), a system of self-knowledge and guidance unlike anything else that exists. Her vision is to take Human Design mainstream so it becomes more widely accepted than any other global profiling, behavioral or healing system — she believes it will transform personal development, education, and business forever. Emma wants to inspire everyone to unlock their inner wisdom, take their power back and feel deeply confident in the decisions they make. This will create a population that values themselves and courageously lives their truth, which will deliver us to a new paradigm of peace, joy, and abundance.
So all we have to do is run our experiment, be in alignment with our design, and then all of a sudden we get permission to really step into our greatness, to be who we're here to be, and imagine a world that we're all doing that Imagine a world where we're all just stepping into our greatness. - Emma Dunwoody
What we talk about:
How Emma discovered + mastered her true calling through Transformational Human DesignTapping into your strategy, authority, gates, and core wounds to unlock your potentialUsing your human design to grow + expand your businessBreaking the cycle of anxiety and depression using these tools

Because at the end of the day, what we focus on is what we get. That's the way our brain works. It's how our energy works. We have to master our focus. Breathwork Meditation. Why do you think they're so powerful? Because it's helping us master our focus. And what transformation of human design does. - Emma Dunwoody

Today’s conversation is with AOB alum, Angelene Parker. After being in the mortgage business for over 20 years, Angelene stepped into her true calling of becoming a healer. Using yoga, meditation, Breathwork, and energy movement, Angelene works with her clients to heal and help regulate the nervous system, allow clients to settle in and embody themselves, and experience all the magic healing work that happens.
The truth is, breathwork and meditation is not a one size fits all healing modality. Everyone can utilize different practices and techniques depending on what season of life they’re in or what emotion you’re moving through at the moment. But one thing is for sure. Bringing breathwork and meditation into your daily life will allow for powerful healing and growth of emotional intelligence within you.
And I just feel like the breathwork and meditation has just given me the missing component because I still want to share healing with the world. And I felt like yoga was always part of it, but it just felt like I was missing more. I wanted to offer more, like for me to share the healing experience I want to offer. - Angelene ParkerWhat we talk about:
The journey of using yoga, breathwork, and meditation for healingProcessing uncomfortable emotions during meditationDifferent types of meditation, and that meditation is not one-size-fits-allWhy Angelene was attracted to AOBAngelene’s top takeaways from and favorite parts of AOB

I know so many people that just don't know how to feel in their body. You know, they can feel the emotions of the emotion, but they can't feel their body. They can't feel into their body. And it's really that's the power and magic of these practices is you just realize the magic that already is in us when we just allow ourselves to sit and listen. - Angelene Parker

Today’s guest is someone who has reminded me of the magic of leading from your heart, connecting to something greater and trusting in yourself. Introducing Sarah Elora, the visionary Founder of The Elora Empress, a divine sanctuary where cellular activation and the guidance of celestial design intertwine. As a mentor of enlightened illumination, Sarah's mission is to empower women to ignite their inner spark and unleash their highest potential. At the heart of her work lies a transformative signature program, immersing the beautiful souls in an intuitive journey that leads to the unlocking of their true power and greatness. The modalities utilized in Sarah's mentorship go beyond the traditional coaching realm, delving deep into the cellular level to understand our physical being and its impact on our lives. 
It's truly an honor to have this conversation be one of the last on The Alchemized Life podcast. In this conversation you’ll hear about the near death experience that led Sarah to understand and connect with her true purpose on earth, and the wisdom she’s gained through the trauma and suffering in her life. She’s not only an example of strength and resilience, but of the beauty and magic of carving your own path, being a service to others, and leading from the heart.
She understands that the way we can truly impact the world is through recognizing the light within us, and is a perfect example of how doing the work to heal and loving yourself can have ripple effects through the entire world. I adore Sarah, am so excited to share this conversation with you and hope it feels like a big hug.
In a world where it's hustle and bustle and just big achievements and big goals, we forget that we really just need to slow down and listen and breathe. Those micro breaths, that micro moment, that's how we come home to self.  - Sarah EloraWhat we talk about:
How Sarah has navigated her own traumaGetting her start in the holistic healing coaching space Sarah’s near death experienceHealing childhood trauma in the bodyHow to address suffering in order to ascendThe link between disease and traumaInsights from the Aquarian full moonRecognizing what’s authentic to you & leading with your heartLearning to soften the mind & understand the egoAva’s practice of coming home to self following her divorceExploring patterns and attachmentsThe number 1 takeaway from her work with clients

I believe that love is being in service and in action to each other, and when we are in service to each other, we're in service to all of humanity. But all of that starts with coming home to self. All of it starts with doing the work and healing our hearts, our whole self, our souls.  - Sarah Elora

This is a bittersweet episode. I have been reflecting on what’s truly lighting me up in my business and providing the most impact and value for this community. I’m truly so excited about the new products I’m launching to create more connections and meaningful conversations for this community, but in order to fully focus on what’s next for the Academy of Breath and my coaching business, I have decided to retire the Alchemized Life Podcast. In this episode, I share more about why I’ve made this difficult decision, how I’ve worked through it and confronted the truth about why I’ve kept it around, and what doors will be opening as this one closes.
Thank you for being a part of this journey and community. I hope to connect with you inside of the Mindful Masters app and community space, and look forward to sharing more content and insight for you there!
We don't have to have a tight grip on things. The knowing that we have inside of us we can trust, and when things are no longer in alignment, it's safe for you to let that go. Because when you do, another door opens. - Ava JohannaWhat I talk about:

Today’s conversation is with AOB alum, Sophie Vaessen. Sophie, who is based in Berlin, Germany, helps employees & leaders create more confidence & well-being in their career through mindset & breath work. As someone who struggled with overwhelm and anxiety while working in a corporate setting, I intimately know how having breathwork as a tool would have made all the difference in my experience. It is so freaking important to not just keep these practices in the world of wellness or spirituality, but to extend the reach of mindfulness practices, like breathwork and meditation, into spaces that really desperately need practices to support becoming more present, releasing the overwhelm of stress, and feeling more connected. 
The reality is not everyone is built to be an entrepreneur. Not everybody wants to be an entrepreneur. There are plenty of positions and careers and life paths that don't include working for yourself. My goal and my intention bringing Sophie on the podcast is to show that there is a way to bring fulfillment into those spaces. In this conversation we talk about what inspired Sophie to bring breathwork into corporate spaces, the results she’s seen with her clients and her tip for easily incorporating mindfulness into your morning routine.
People don't give themselves the space to ask themselves, 'what do I need in this moment?' A short breath work practice, a short meditation practice or even just sitting in the sun and taking a few conscious breaths is just so helpful because it sets you up for what is coming next. - Sophie Vaessen
What we talk about:
How to easily fit mindfulness into a morning routineRecognizing how breathwork helps you respond versus reactBenefits of bringing breathwork and meditation into the corporate spaceWhy Sophie was attracted to AOBSophie’s top takeaways from and favorite parts of AOB

When you're talking about the workspace, the body probably doesn't need that extra cup of coffee, right? The body probably needs a break. And it's only when we listen that we will know. I think many times we can give that to ourselves without relying on external substances. - Sophie Vaessen
