Intimate Conversations

For someone who I've known for two decades, it's amazing that I've only interviewed her and her husband once. This was the first time to interview Nada individually and what a profound treat it was! It's been breathtaking to watch her evolution as she balances her superpowers of mind and heart. So many of our childhood wounds turn into coping mechanisms that allow us to thrive vocationally. She is an extraordinary litigator and has a masterful capacity to not be triggered, see both sides of a situation and communicate in a way so that everyone feels heard. She brilliantly sees a way through where others hit a wall. However these coping mechanisms from our childhood wounds rarely turn into capacities that invite deeper intimacy. They are rooted in validated fears, disappointments, feeling devalued or unseen. I so respect her bravery, consistency and willingness to feel her feelings and integrate these wounds into deeper intimacy with herself, her husband and her children. And honestly with me :-) These intimacy skills have allowed our friendship to deepen over the past 20 years. We have an ability to have tough conversations in a way where we both feel safe enough to tell the truth. We share a certainty that we will always get to the other side. And be closer and better for it. And we also have a bloody good time being alive together :-) She has seen me through several legal moments and ferociously had my back with calm elegance and unwavering clarity. She has witnessed my heartache with my 13 yr custody battle. She stood by me for 18 months to ensure the domestically violent ex-boyfriend pleaded guilty for criminal assault. And she stood by me when the entrepreneurial community in which we were members, terminated me without cause but kept the criminal. To have her as a valued, cherished and consistent member of our Inner Circle coaching community and supporting facilitator at our annual Intimacy Retreats warms my heart to no end. She can always be counted on to dive deep into her heart and speak with integrity of her Soul's truth. In this podcast you will learn invaluable information about what it takes to navigate unworkable situations in a marriage without threatening, instead with fierce love, feminine invitation and brave surrender. This is exactly the energy a noble man requires to take full ownership and awaken dormant evolutionary powers for his greatest good and the thriving of the marriage and family. Supporting them with a tool called Dyads that are provided monthly in the Heart Centered Foundation's tier of our Patreon exclusive membership, has literally been a lifesaver and game changer for their marriage. Even though I have the honor of being their coach, in all transparency they have taught me about conscious partnership and soul shaking intimacy. While they are human and perfectly imperfect like the rest of us, they are also an inspiring example for all of us singles in my coaching community to keep doing the inner work and to show up for love, because a marriage that gets better over time is totally possible. Because the work works. Lastly, she is officially the only podcast guest where we've danced in a public park enlisting a stranger to shoot the video for us! You will not want to miss After the Show on Patreon and hear her heartfelt answers to the 3 questions I ask every guest. In fact I ran into the 'cameraman' at lunch later that day (OMG!) and he asked if he could be interviewed because Nada's answers had stayed with him and opened his heart. ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content!

There are some conversations that stay with you forever because they crack you open and remind you of what's truly possible when we lean into vulnerability, truth AND cherished sisterhood. What a gift to circle back with my bestie Nada Shamonki, who has witnessed my journey for the past 20 years as we explore the depths of emotional capacity and sacred repair together. In this delicious and soul-stirring conversation we explored… - How I shifted from survival-based relationships, either damsel in distress or hyper-independent 'boss woman,' into wholeness, where love, work and collaboration become spaces for awakening and growth. - A powerful story from one of my women's retreats where a rupture in co-leadership became holy ground for healing. By leaning into raw vulnerability and shared responsibility, we modeled what true repair looks like, healing not only ourselves but also the collective wound among women around power, sisterhood, and 'Triality' (win win win) collaboration. - The sacred practice of building capacity to sit with discomfort, anger, grief, and truth without projection or disconnection, by cultivating the capacity to connect with the 'Little You' inside and welcoming rupture as an opportunity for transformation. - How Psychedelic Somatic Integration (PSI) work transformed my life after a physically abusive relationship- a challenging, humbling yet ultimately empowering gift allowing me to finally feel safe in my body, integrate pre-verbal trauma, and embody healthier boundaries, nervous system regulation, and deep wisdom. - Why PSI reaches places talk therapy cannot, and how I uniquely support clients after each journey with personalized reports, coaching, and community to anchor lasting change during the crucial limited window of neuroplasticity. - Nada's reflections on how she has witnessed me grow: stronger boundaries, greater capacity, less hypervigilance, more embodiment, more trust, humility and radiance. We closed by celebrating our sacred sisterhood, and my devotion to walking this path of self-mastery and divine leadership, not just for myself but as a Lighthouse for humanity. I encourage you to lean into the places that feel uncomfortable, because rupture truly is holy ground. And if PSI or this deeper work calls to you, know that you don't have to do it alone. Healing is here, waiting for you. ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content!

This extended and deeply personal episode turns the tables as Allana Pratt, usually the host, is interviewed by her long-time friend, client, and legal counsel, Nada Shamonki. Their 20-year friendship lays the foundation for an open, vulnerable, and intimate conversation about Allana's personal, professional and spiritual evolution. -Allana reflects on becoming a single mother and building her coaching career from scratch, including her initial niche as the "Sexy Mom Expert." She shares early milestones, including working with Leeza Gibbons and navigating motherhood without her own mother. -Allana's transformation from a performance-based, people-pleasing mindset to deeply embodied, spirit-led facilitation has been the outcome of years of trauma integration and somatic healing which helped her access a new level of presence and intuition in her coaching. -Nada speaks to Allana's unique energetic quality—her ability to make others feel truly safe, seen, and unjudged, enabling profound connection, healing, emotional release and lasting breakthroughs in her clients. -Allana shares several powerful stories of spiritual awakening, including the traumatic death of her teenage friend James, which served as a choice point: to close her broken heart or keep it splayed wise open to life. Her father, unexpectedly, was the one to awaken her to the reality of life beyond death. -Allana discusses her journey with psychedelics, first Ayahuasca close to 20 years ago and more recently, cutting edge use of MAPS trials low dose psychedelics one-on=one for somatic spiritual healing. Her experience is that it integrated level 4 trauma, opened her third eye and enhanced her multi-dimensional awareness. She explains how her facilitation now is more powerful than ever, integrating spirit, somatic cues, trauma release and deep intuition. -Through personal stories including a relationship where she let herself feel her authentic devastation instead of projecting her anger, when her partner sold her only Christmas gift, Allana reveals how she practices in-the-moment emotional integration, shifting from reactivity to allowance, compassion and ultimately forgiveness. -These two dear long term friends explores how authentic relationships must include a healthy capacity for repairing ruptures as an integral part of genuine intimacy. Allana teaches that moving through discomfort with self-ownership creates deeper trust and connection, and that we must stay in our bodies to do this… a script from the mind saying the right thing, doesn't feel real and true thus won't mend the heartbreak. -Allana traces her growth from a "damsel in distress" to a "badass boss" and now into an ever deepening 5D wholeness—where she sources love, safety, and worth from within. She aims to guide others into this space of self-sourced intimacy and relational consciousness. "I'm the doctor and the patient." "The more authentic you are, the more intimacy you can have." "I don't want to be a guru. I want to awaken the guru within all of us." "Your soul is guiding you, even through the worst of it." ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content!

This is phenomenal to interview Bob Grant after having been interviewed by him for his summit. I can see why women feel so safe being coached around dating and relationships by him. His energy is so present, safe, kind, and caring. He's void of judgment and committed to a proven path of fixing the problem. He provides clear points of view that open up new possibilities. And simultaneously, he's deep, he's not into quick fixes or surface solutions, he invites his clients to slow down and feel, discover the shadow underneath it all that's at the root of the problem. In this passionate-about-relationships conversation, we also discussed... -How our greatest fear is often the portal to our greatest asset, and he shares an incredible story about a woman who thought she was ugly -How being too quick to fall in love or get serious often leads to either boredom or an explosion, and he has a different approach for his clients -How slowing down his very bright clients who want to find the solution, and instead guiding them into feeling their feelings, is a game-changer -How he invites curiosity to people who apparently get bored in relationships, questioning if there's an addiction to drama or an aversion to deeper intimacy -How he quite enjoyed my explanation of dating myself and told me what I shared would make most healthy men say, yum :-) -How tremendously brave and vulnerable he was about his core wound as he answered one of the After the Show questions on Patreon -How he can't wait to show his sons his dance moves on the After the Show Patreon episode! ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content!

This deeply personal and emotional episode features Danielle, a cherished client of my coaching program. The conversation highlights her impressive growth through emotional healing, relationship transformation, and personal empowerment, especially after ending a toxic relationship. Danielle began coaching when she was in a manipulative and emotionally abusive relationship with a man who resented her financial success. Despite having wealth and a supportive family background, she struggled with self-worth, especially around romantic partners. Her patterns included "project men" – dating men she wanted to fix or help, often at the cost of her own needs, happiness, and boundaries. In this exquisitely vulnerable and honest conversation, we also discussed... -How she has truly healed through coaching with me and has begun to see how her childhood dynamics and subconscious beliefs were driving her relationship patterns. -Her new, conscious relationship. She is now in a healthier, emotionally aware relationship with someone from her past who has also begun personal growth work. -The Power of emotional integration and how deep emotional wounds from over a decade ago were still affecting her behavior until addressed in the PSI Immersions with Allana. -How integrating trauma stored in her body helped her shift from people-pleasing and silence to assertiveness and self-respect. -Her ability to feel emotions fully – joy, grief, and everything in between – is now something she values. -Danielle is a rock star. Her story is one of courage, deep inner work and the transformation to be expected when you do the deep PSI work. -Through Allana's coaching and her own determination, she reclaimed her voice, healed past trauma, and now lives with more integrity, self-love, and joy. ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content!

My Allana Pratt Method Coach, Kristina, has been speaking of Rebecca for years. I am super stoked I followed through and interviewed this brilliant, embodied, and inspiring woman! Rebecca gets Change! It's like she's another facet of the same Diamond I am, one that we shine a congruent, complementary light on embracing change and an aligned feeling of breathtaking honor to walk with someone through the cycle of change. She helped me turn some unconscious competences into competent competences. I'm so grateful! In this conversation that I would have been happy to have gone on for over 5 hours (which is definitely going to happen when I get my ass to Santa Fe and meet her), we also discussed... - How my superpower is definitely supporting people in what she calls the Liminal stage of change, when you step into the unknown and face uncertainty, when you feel uncomfortable and often avoid feelings, when you leave what's no longer working and take the leap - How she's helping us to redefine change not as something bad, but something that could even be joyous when we no longer resist this natural process we were born to embrace and designed to experience - How we both get the body is the key! To trust the body! Listen to the body! That God is our body! Oh my God, I literally come out of my skin into Oneness with all when we talk about this! And how we love to dance, it's a portal to such wisdom :-) - How our personal client stories are teaching moments of our own personal evolution and expansion of our Mastery over decades of on-court learning and discovery - How what she calls the 'I know' mind can block the wisdom of the body and the ability for the Divine to guide our way, that we all outgrow things, be it a job, a relationship, and even our thoughts - How deeply we love and honor our clients, understanding their cynicism or blame is really a protection on top of deep fear and hopelessness, that they just can't stand the possibility of being hurt or let down again - How her book explains not just the process of change but questions you can ask at each section and acknowledgments you can make, revealing the beauty and necessity of each stage to not stay stuck, bypass, or keep looping - Her outstanding ability to go into triggered situations, not take things personally, hear Spirit pouring through her, and be the safe space for a client, company or organization to evolve - Her wisdom to watch the energy of a space that, once they've gone through the intense stages of change, as they relax, laughter erupts, joy can be effervescent, and that we can all make it through change, especially when we do it together Please get her book, Thresholds of Change: The Way through Transformational Times. https://www.rebeccaborlandreynolds.com/thresholds-of-change1 The audiobook of Thresholds of Change: https://tinyurl.com/mrmahf5v You will find yourself in the pages and be able to embrace the changes in your life more elegantly, potently, and authentically to embrace the next amazing version of you. ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content!

While Dr. Kevin is known for his whole body approach called Head to Toe Healing, I would say from Head to Heart. We instantly dove into a spiritual conversation about all the Divine orchestrations and experiences of his evolution. It explains so much of the depth of presence that I experienced with him when I interviewed him on Instagram and teased him that he's the Sexy Care Bear :-) There's a resonance in his voice that is sourced someplace quite deep, and learning more of his story revealed what I intuited. And even though we eventually talked about health and well-being and the phenomenal results his followers receive, we also dove into the unexpected beauty of his current romantic relationship. In this authentic conversation that brought tears to my eyes, we also discussed... - How the timing of our podcast pre-record was so Divine for me, bringing me to tears when he shared his Dark Night of the Soul and what I'm currently navigating - How depression is different than a Dark Night of the Soul, and how a Dark Night of the Soul is a good thing to be welcomed as a sacred excavation of subconscious wounds, as challenging as that can be to embrace - How he mentioned that if he went to an ashram now, it would be quite an experience, alluding to enlightenment, yet he's choosing to keep his boots on deck and be a Warrior of the light with a business and serving Humanity - How nothing prepares you for a conscious relationship, that it unearths subconscious programming and core wounds from this life or others, yet it's one of the richest places of growth and evolution - How if you weren't born with a disease or condition, it's not yours, and that he knows how to heal it, yet first we need to be awakened to a whole new perspective on healing, stop trusting the medical Monopoly so we can choose inner peace over pain, and eliminate chronic conditions - How I believe it's his energetic transmission, taking the reins of the 'Blue Antelope', that entrains people to his frequency, supports their integration of limiting subconscious beliefs, and supports their healing journey - How he truly bumped into fear of intimacy when getting to know his current beloved, took a pause before engaging more fully, and how it brings him great fulfillment to be a provider, protector and make her happy, even though there was friction in the beginning... That if you're ready to awaken to a new point of view about your health and well-being, to read his books, join his membership, and Savor your Birthright of well-being. ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content! About Dr. Kevin Reese: Dr. Kevin Reese has helped thousands of people around the world reclaim their health since 2010. He has the most healing results ever captured on video. While he has a PhD in nutrition and a ton of certifications in other modalities, it's actually his self-study that made him different from everyone else. One day, Dr. Reese had an epiphany that the reason people aren't healing is that schools teach individual parts of the body. After this epiphany, he went on to study the brain, the spine, the pelvis, the gut, the blood, the lymph, the eyes, the feet etc. Learning how it all connected with each other, he made the entire body his specialty and created a new type of healthcare called, HEAD TO TOE HEALING. This new approach to health is showcased in his book, PEACE OVER PAIN, which has been sold all over the world. Once he applied HEAD TO TOE HEALING to his clients, the results came pouring in! While most social media influencers are good talkers, Dr. Reese and his team actually captured it all on camera, which verifies that his system works. His success in healing others is a major reason that he's attacked on and off social media. Dr. Reese has been canceled from social media platforms, shut down at banks, and receives numerous threats from strangers. He is often called a charlatan, a quack, and a grifter. Through all the controversy and drama, Dr. Reese has become beloved all around the world with half a million followers on social media and dedicated fans who travel long distances to meet him during his annual seminar. Due to all the attacks, he has retired from taking clients and now operates a subscription-based membership that educates people on HEAD TO TOE HEALING.

After a botchy IG Live when I couldn't SEE Esin, this was delicious to LOOK into her beautiful eyes and connect heart to heart. Erin is a Holistic Psychologist, LCSW, Addiction Professional, and Relationship Expert. We dove right into our shared experiences of Female Friendship & Betrayal. While many think breaking up with a boyfriend or husband is intense… we both agreed that the heartbreak of female friendship betrayals and the pain of sisterhood ruptures can be even more intense… perhaps because you don't see them coming. We both opened up about how early family roles and codependent tendencies and how that has shaped our adult relationships, and how needing constant reassurance or connection with others can lead to losing a sense of self. It was so nourishing to connect with Esin about the complexities of therapeutic relationships, how deeply intimate and soul-connected they can become, and the struggle to maintain healthy boundaries without losing authenticity or care. We both have historically over-given to clients at the cost of our own well-being. I shared how my mentors have taught me self-first care vs. selfless care, and how time off and new practices like a month's sabbatical in Spain, flamenco dancing is helping me reclaim joy and balance. As two single women, we highlighted the importance of building friendships and romantic relationships outside of work and stop over-relying on our careers for fulfillment. We lovingly challenged each other to actively create more space for personal relationships and fun. I shared a playfully structured approach with ways I'm reparenting my inner self—including having "dinner" with her inner masculine and feminine, and putting a cardboard Jason Mamoa in my home to prompt sensual self-practices! (Decided on the poster, not the full-size cardboard after all xox) Our conversation was deeply personal, with both of us modeling vulnerability, acknowledging our wounds, and laughing through the shared journey of learning to love and care for ourselves more fully. Some bumper sticker takeaways include..."If I avoid love, I avoid pain. But if I avoid pain, I also avoid love." "We don't want to dismantle codependency in a way where we demonize it—we just want to harness it differently." "The source of my wholeness needs to come from inside-out, not outside-in." This episode is a beautiful, raw, and deeply human exploration of the messy, courageous journey of reclaiming self-worth, intimacy, and joy—especially for those, like Esin and I, who help others for a living. It's a reminder that even the most evolved coaches and therapists are still growing, too. ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content!

I loved interviewing longtime friend, Bryan Reeves—a former Air Force captain turned relationship coach, author, and speaker—about deep themes of love, grief, surrender, and conscious partnership. Bryan shared his and his wife's experience of enduring 18 major life challenges in five years, many of these were ambiguous losses—grief over things never fully materialized. We've both been Inspired by Michael Singer's Surrender Experiment and Bryan reflected on surrendering to life's challenges without giving up, choosing instead to fully engage with each moment, seeing surrender as the ultimate form of freedom. I love learning about the complex dynamics of partnership with his wife, Silvy—balancing personal truths, holding space for differences, and learning how to share power in a relationship rather than dominate or withdraw. In this deeply connected reunion of sorts in person in Austin, we also discussed... - How much Bryan loves Silva! I asked him to describe qualities he appreciates about her—he lit up! He spoke of her warmth, humor, depth, and emotional availability—and three things that turn him on, from her sensuality to her emotional support. - How Bryan openly owns his shortcomings—like struggling to offer the depth of emotional connection Silvy craves—and apologizes for past choices that unintentionally hurt her, including the decision to leave LA. - How we both emphasized that true love and partnership are not about perfection, but about willingness to stay present in the messiness. We explored how real intimacy requires patience, compassion, and truth-telling. - How Bryan's guiding principle in his partnership with his wife is serving love, rather than ego. - How I vulnerably opened up about my own struggles with being single, practicing self-care, and asking my staff for loving accountability—showing that intimacy begins with ourselves. - This nearly yearly podcast swap between old friends ends with mutual appreciation, humor, and heartfelt acknowledgment of the growth they've witnessed in each other over 15 years. - I'm so grateful for the depth and realness of our shared journey and we invite listeners to reflect and take meaningful action in their own lives… tiny hinges swing big door… you'd be amazed what consistent aligned action will create for your intimate relationships. ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content!

Completely new universes and deeper awarenesses can arise when we gather in sacred intimate conversations. That's why this podcast is in its 13th season! I knew how grateful I am for Marina's videography and photography at my last 4-5 retreats. I'm aware of how inspired I am at the personal, parental, spiritual and professional evolution I've witnessed coaching her and the gift of her vulnerability to our coaching community. I'm grateful for the contribution of her mastery in the realm of water rituals for my clients at retreats. However it wasn't until we sat down for this podcast that we really felt the massive impact of all these years working together, the impact on our friendship, sisterhood, professional relationship, personal and collective evolution. It's so good to reflect! Without reflection, the profound impact of these experiences stay concealed, like a hidden ripe fruit that we never got to sink our teeth into! Sinking our teeth into our glorious journey together, we also discussed... -How the first time I hired her, a client had made unconscious comment that pierced Marina's heart and I made sure to address it, integrate it and include her in the group's transformation- she felt safe and seen. -How exquisite it was to have her lead a couples water ritual in Costa Rica utilizing underwater photography and community to further bond and celebrate sacred partnership (setting the stage for a secret engagement proposal!) -How a client also in the film industry, publicly honored all the work Marina had done, the work of 7 to 10 people, and how extraordinary she is flowing in and out of her masculine and feminine energies -How our trust has grown over the years such that she stepped into support a client during a process where I was helping someone else. We felt each other having each other's back in combined service to my community- what a gift. -How we are no different than any other relationship, having a rupture that we repaired that led to the deepest bonding we ever shared as if we were two goddesses in a temple, downloading wisdom from the cosmos sitting beside the infinity pool on the beach in Isla Mujeres. -How my mentorship as an entrepreneur, a woman several decades older than her, yet also a woman of great vulnerability, transparency and honesty, has been a safe place for her to continue to grow over time, ending an old pattern of leaving if things got uncomfortable. -How her commitment to stay year after year coaching in my community has supported her sitting in the fire in her current romantic relationship while deepening her own relationship with herself in the face of anything, so inspiring! ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content!
