    146. Why Isn't Everyone Dancing Their Feelings? with Sah D’Simone
    Sep 29 2026
    What if ninety seconds on a dance floor could do what ten years of therapy couldn't? In this episode, Emily Fletcher sits down with Sah D'Simone, a spiritual teacher, humanitarian, and bestselling author whose approach to healing was forged through over 300 days of silent meditation, clinical spiritual care training at Cedars-Sinai Hospital, and years of direct service in the margins. Sah is the creator of the Somatic Activated Healing (SAH) Method and founder of the Somatic Dance Institute, and his work has drawn collaborations with Harvard, Columbia, and the UN. They trace Sah's path from meditation teacher to dance mystic: the night in Bali when a trance on the dance floor cracked him open into a full-body recognition of strangers dancing beside him, the year his mother died and everything he'd built around joy fell apart, and why he believes talking about trauma can trap you in a cycle of blame while dancing it moves the charge all the way through. They also get into how Christian missionaries turned the god of dance into the devil, the nuanced difference between chasing pleasure and finding it inside whatever is true, and why no feeling, however big, is the one that finally breaks you. In this episode, Sah explores: Why talking about your trauma can trap you in a cycle of blame, while dancing it moves the charge all the way through The night in Bali when a trance on the dance floor cracked him open into a full-body recognition of strangers he'd apparently known before How Christian missionaries turned Pan, the god of dance and revelry, into the image of the devil The difference between chasing pleasure as an escape and finding the ecstasy inside whatever is true, even rage or grief What his mother's death taught him about prayer, pain, and the limits of visualization A Vipassana retreat gone sideways, and the wave of full-body release that followed once he stopped resisting Opening for a DJ with five minutes' notice, and the closest he has come to a physical experience of the divine on a stage Why no feeling is too big to survive, and what actually makes people exhausted Key Moments: 00:00 – Emily's introduction: from meditation teacher to dance mystic, and why Harvard and Columbia came calling 03:02 – Why the most prestigious universities on the planet are studying his work 05:10 – His mother's death, and the six months of "sanctioned insanity" that followed 07:48 – The Osho line: why a woman dancing is closer to God than a man meditating 08:40 – Why talking about your trauma can trap you in a cycle of blame and victimhood 14:11 – How Christian missionaries turned Pan, the god of dance, into the devil 19:40 – The night in Bali when dance cracked him open into a past-life recognition on the floor 27:06 – 2020, and the moment "the goddess" rewired his entire career overnight 28:00 – "Part rave, part ritual": why the fastest, most industrial beats create the safest place to disappear 30:47 – His pushback on spiritual bypassing in ceremony culture, and Emily's response 40:34 – What his mother's death taught him about pain, prayer, and the edges of joy 42:27 – A Vipassana retreat, "princess and the pea," and the full-body release that followed 44:23 – The Iceland eclipse festival, and opening for a DJ with five minutes' notice 49:31 – The first-ever multi-day festival at the pyramids, and the Egypt eclipse he's building toward in 2027 51:16 – What he'd say to the exhausted parent of three who says they don't have time to dance 54:05 – His one request: dance to a single song, eyes closed 58:04 – A Lakota elder's line: all the suffering on the planet traces back to uncried tears About Sah D'Simone Sah D'Simone is a spiritual teacher, humanitarian, and bestselling author of Spiritually Sassy and Spiritually, We.

    145. Why Isn't Everyone Priestessing Themselves? with Elayne Kalila
    Sep 22 2026
    What if the word apocalypse was never about the end of the world, but about what gets revealed once the veils come down? In this episode, Emily Fletcher sits down with Elayne Kalila, a psychotherapist turned priestess and the founder of the Priestess Presence Mystery School, for a conversation that travels 30,000 years back to trace the deliberate erasure of feminine spiritual authority. Elayne walks through the Venus of Willendorf, the moment agriculture and land ownership gave rise to patriarchy, and why the women burned as witches were so often the post-menopausal landowners, healers, and midwives, not young women at all. They also get into Freud's diagnosis of hysteria and its roots in the idea of a wandering womb, why 43 million American women between 45 and 65 are entering their power rather than their decline, and Elayne's own confronting practice for holding the men causing harm on an altar of healing instead of hatred. This is a conversation about rage as initiation, aging as beauty, and what it means to priestess yourself and everyone around you through change. In this episode, Elayne explores: Why the witch burnings targeted post-menopausal landowners, healers, and midwives, not young women How agriculture and land ownership seeded patriarchy 10,000 years ago Why "apocalypse" actually means the lifting of the veils Her altar practice: naming powerful men who've caused harm and calling them into their hearts Freud's diagnosis of hysteria and its roots in the idea of a wandering womb Why 43 million American women between 45 and 65 are entering their power, not their decline Isis and her twin sister Nephthys, and Inanna's seven gates as the oldest map for this transition Why rage in perimenopause is information, not dysfunction Key Moments: 00:00 – Emily's tribute to Elayne, and welcome to Why Isn't Everyone Priestessing Themselves 01:20 – Introducing Elayne Kalila: psychotherapist turned priestess 04:50 – Going back 30,000 years: the Venus of Willendorf and the first evidence of goddess worship 05:42 – How agriculture and land ownership seeded patriarchy 10,000 years ago 06:56 – The witch burnings: who was really targeted, and why 09:59 – The apocalypse, meaning the lifting of the veils 13:34 – The case for the feminine, made directly to the man who thinks this isn't for him 21:48 – Elayne's altar practice: naming powerful men who've caused harm and calling them home 35:42 – What it means to priestess yourself: navigating the unknown without a map 47:54 – Isis and her twin sister Nephthys, and the echo of Inanna and Ereshkigal 50:53 – Hysteria: how a wandering womb became a medical diagnosis for a woman's power 53:04 – 43 million American women are entering perimenopause, and why that's power, not decline 58:05 – Premenstrual rage as information, not dysfunction 1:00:45 – Inanna's seven gates as the oldest map we have for this transition 1:01:54 – Aging as beauty: the story of her partner and her white hair About Elayne Kalila Elayne Kalila Doughty, MA, MFT, is a psychotherapist turned priestess and the founder of the Priestess Presence Mystery School, where she has spent over a decade ordaining women into the Divine Feminine mysteries.

    144. Why Isn't Everyone Using Pleasure to Reclaim Their Power? with Regena Tomashauer
    Sep 15 2026
    What if the darkest season of your life isn't a punishment, but an initiation? In this episode, Emily Fletcher sits down with her friend and former roommate Regena Thomashauer, known around the world as Mama Gena, for a conversation about her new book, On Our Knees. Regena is the New York Times bestselling author of Pussy: A Reclamation and the founder of the School of Womanly Arts, and this book was written by hand, one card and one page at a time, over years of 5am mornings. Regena walks through the myth of Inanna's descent into the underworld, why she believes hell is a patriarchal invention built to keep women small while the underworld exists to make them whole, and what it costs a woman to keep playing “fine” instead of the full range of who she is. She also shares her own story: a goddess who visited her bedside at five years old, an acting class that told her she had no sensuality, and the years at what she calls “the Vatican of orgasm” that taught her pleasure is a biological miracle, not a luxury. The conversation closes with Regena reading live from the book's chapter on Kali, the goddess who arrives precisely when a life has grown too small to hold who you're becoming.
