This is an important teaching and exploration of the dance between ‘survival doing’, ‘being’, and ‘authentic doing’ energies. I explore unraveling from the worldly matrix of worth, well-being, success and safety that has conditioned all of us, and embarking on the path to living in greater heart-alignment, energy, and sustainability with your true essence.

Topics explored include:
• being as the base state before action
• 'survival doing' versus 'authentic doing'
• childhood and lineage patterns that shape a sense of urgency within
• body signals of burnout, and how to attune to them as guidance
• small daily attunements to rewire safety
• rebuilding trust through gentle, honest steps
• letting grief open a portal to true movement

In this episode I explore how to live the path of surrender without abandoning desire or Self, moving from upended expectations to a grounded practice of connecting with and honoring our deeper truth, while also processing emotions, thoughts and bodily sensations that are arising in the process. I share how a pregnancy twist reopened old grief for me, and how cultivating continuous connection with ourselves restores trust, presence, and agency in the unknown.

Other nuggets we explore:

• Redefining surrender as inclusion, not bypass
• Living in the dance between human will and Divine will
• Allowing in support and mentorship to clear charge
• Holding peace and greater knowing at the center while feeling everything
• Resisting false reassurance and staying with the unknown
• Honoring different timelines and processes in healing

This episode has been years in the making and is an honor to share with you. Pilar has been one of my mentors for the last 6 years, and soon after I found out that she is also pregnant, I knew we had to sit down together to explore:

• How the spirit of her baby waited for her to release the energy of working herself to death before dropping in
• The medicine of the bare minimum and how pregnancy has forced a complete reorganization of our lives
• How the physical limitations of early pregnancy revealed inauthentic doing energies that were ready to be transformed
• Experiencing divine creation happening internally while facing very human challenges of not feeling well externally
• Pilar's mother's death and how her pregnancy has created new understanding and healing
• Altering our relationship to social media and creation
• Pilar's father's recent death and the relief she felt in his release
• The power of having the opportunity to face our greatest fears through losing our parents, and find more aliveness than ever on the other side.

Exclusive ways to work with me before I take Maternity Leave:

• I have very limited spaces open for 1:1 work in September and October. Explore more + apply here!

More about Pilar Lesko:

Pilar has been immersed in a world of mysticism her entire life. The death of her Mother at age two and subsequent karma-laden childhood cracked open her intuitive gifts, connection to the Great Mystery, and a trust that couldn’t be broken.

She has spent the last 15 years studying and training in energy work, psychic development, trauma integration – and anything that helps her become more human.

She bridges 15+ years in the healing arts with 10+ years of experience in entrepreneurship to teach business, leadership, and money differently. She is passionate about offering this work to those here to steward a new era of life-giving success and generative commerce.

Pilar is the founder and steward of The Hive, a virtual membership to train your energy and build your business, and The Hivemind, an invitation-only mastermind for female business owners.

She also offers occasional masterclasses, courses, and private mentorship for conscious leaders.

She makes but one promise with her work: to develop a deeper intimacy with Life itself.

Join me in this episode as I chat with my dear friend Melina Charis, as we share our personal stories of losing our mothers and the profound impact it has had on our lives. Together, we created Sacred Ground, a virtual community event featuring a guided tea ceremony and embodied movement practice, designed to provide a sacred space for reflection, healing, and connection.

Grief isn't a neatly organized series of steps; it is a deeply personal, non-linear experience. In our conversation, we challenge societal misconceptions about grief and explore its unpredictable nature. By sharing our own experiences, we highlight the importance of allowing emotions to flow naturally, embracing the full spectrum of feelings from joy to sadness. Through rituals like tea ceremonies, we can create intentional spaces to honor these emotions, providing a sanctuary for self-awareness and growth. Listen as we discuss how these sacred spaces can guide us toward a richer understanding of life and help us stay connected to our true selves.

In this heartfelt episode, we invite you to explore the depth of your own grief journey, recognizing it as a sacred part of life. Through personal anecdotes and insightful discussions, we emphasize the transformative power of being truly present with your emotions. Whether through Sacred Ground or other supportive environments, we encourage you to find the courage to embrace the sacred space of grief, honoring its role in your life and allowing it to guide you toward healing and new beginnings.

Sign Up for Sacred Grief: A Ceremony for Grief + Growth happening on November 17th. $33 to join.

Grief is a powerful teacher, and understanding our deepest needs can transform this journey into one of personal growth and healing. This episode invites you to contemplate the profound connection between grief and your human needs, exploring how recognizing and voicing our needs can lead to living more authentically and embracing the unknown with courage.

I guide you through a reflective process, encouraging you to identify your needs and understand the physical and emotional expressions of unmet needs. By considering whether these needs can be fulfilled independently or require external support, we cultivate acceptance and compassion for ourselves. This exploration opens up a dialogue with a larger spiritual or universal presence, inviting peace and understanding beyond our immediate human experience. The process is both empowering and humbling, acknowledging that some needs may remain unmet, and that’s okay.

Throughout the epsidoe, we’ll explore the art of surrendering to the unknown, creating a sacred space for transformation and inviting loved ones into this dialogue.

Unlock the transformative power of grief with me as we journey through the three major energies that shape our healing process after profound loss. This episode of Transformed by Grief guides you in rebuilding a vibrant and joyful life, even after being shattered by pain. You'll gain insights into embracing life's inevitable voids and transitions, fostering a loving relationship with yourself and your grief, and finding your footing amid uncertainty. Experience the shift from release to rejuvenation, and discover how to embrace new beginnings with consciousness and intention.

On this episode, I explore:

This bonus episode shares the audio from a recent IG live I led on presence, how it is our gateway to life, its connection with the heart and its role in moving through seasons filled with deep emotion, the reasons the mind/intellect can keep us distracted instead of present, and how to begin to work with yourself to invite presence in.

The first 15 minutes are a short teaching and exploration, and the meditation begins at 16:20 minutes.
