Can't Be Contained

Recently, I immersed myself in the transformative experience of our Advanced Energetics retreat. Picture a room filled with remarkable women, each letting go of their fears and stepping into their potential. It was a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we come together.   Standing by the pool at the retreat center, watching everyone connect and support each other, really drove home how impactful the Pause Breathwork community has become. We're doing more than just healing; we're discovering freedom and potential through somatic practices.   Alongside these reflections, I delve into the evolution of coaching in the age of AI. While driving to a dance class, I tested ChatGPT with a business decision, and I was surprised by the insight it provided. Still, it reaffirmed for me that human connection and the body's wisdom are irreplaceable, especially in somatic coaching where genuine change happens.   This is also a last call for anyone interested in the 2025 Somatic Coaching certification—a six-month journey of becoming a certified coach while deeply understanding and harnessing your gifts. It’s about making an impact in ways that truly matter.   In this episode, I explore: ➤ The essential role of human connection and intuition in coaching ➤ Why somatic coaching is crucial for lasting transformation ➤ Adapting to the future of coaching with AI advancements   Join me as we explore why "AI cannot replace human connection" and how integrating somatic tools can elevate your coaching practice. Whether you’re a coach, passionate about personal growth, or just curious about where coaching is headed, this episode is definitely worth a listen.

Hey love, I just dropped a new episode of Can’t Be Contained and ooooof — this one hit deep. I’m diving into something I haven’t shared quite like this before: how to actually heal and regulate your nervous system without just looping in trauma talk or mindset work (because let’s be real, that only gets us so far). If you’ve been doing all the “right” things — journaling, affirmations, therapy — but still feel stuck, numb, or disconnected... this one’s for you. In this episode, I’m getting super real about my own journey from feeling flatlined in life to tapping into deep, electric aliveness again. We jam on: ➤ How to clear the blocks that choke out your life force ➤ Why emotional and mental patterns keep us from feeling good (even if we "know better") ➤ How breathwork became my bridge back to me — and how it can be yours too And yep, I’m also breaking down something brand new: the Aliveness Quadrant. It’s a tool I created to help you tune into your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual energy — and figure out where you’re leaking power. You’ll also hear why I believe somatic healing is the future of coaching and why it’s time we start leading with the body, not just the mind. And hey — if you’re a coach, healer, or facilitator who feels this call in your bones… just a heads up: the doors to our Somatic Coaching Certification are closing real soon. If this path is for you, now’s the time to trust that pull. You can snag your spot right here: pausebreathwork.com/somatic Let’s breathe life back into our bodies, our work, and this wild, beautiful human experience — together. 💫 All my love, Sam About Can’t Be Contained Can’t Be Contained’ is the unscripted, unedited – fully uncontained journal entries & real-life experiences of those who follow their bliss & intuitive hits, the freedom seekers, the sacred rebels – the ones who are here to disrupt what preceded us & create what is ahead of us.

Welcome back everyone to this week’s thought-provoking episode of Can’t Be Contained! Today, I’m honoured to be joined by a master at navigating the intricate dance of human relationships—--relationship coach Annie Lalla!    Annie shares with me her philosophy that TRUE intimacy comes from working through challenges as opposed to avoiding them. It’s a lens through which she likens relationship tensions to an opportunity for growth—--much like the way going to the gym strengthens muscles through resistance.    Annie and I cover a complex range of topics, including:  ➤ The Art Of Fighting! 💪(Ok, Hear Us Out!)  ➤ Communicating Needs & Desires (Communication is sexy! 👅) ➤ Perspectives on Non-Monogamy (Yes, it can work!)   Together, we go over the difference between toxic and healthy fighting (Some fighting CAN BE HEALTHY!), and we discuss how partners can elevate disagreements to build STRONGER connections! She touches on common pitfalls in love—and sheds light on just how important autonomy is in creating healthy dynamics. (YOU’RE STRONG & INDEPENDENT Y’ALL!)    Finally, Annie reveals techniques that can be used for more effective communication (and who doesn’t love an effective communicator, am I right?), that can in turn inspire partners towards mutual growth without blame or coercion. So whether you’re in a relationship or just find yourself confused by the complexities of love, this conversation with Annie is TRULY transformative!    So settle in, and let’s get a little intimate.    With love,  Samantha Links: Website: https://www.annielalla.com/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/lallabird/?hl=en  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/annielallacoaching/  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/annielalla  About Can’t Be Contained Can’t Be Contained’ is the unscripted, unedited – fully uncontained journal entries & real-life experiences of those who follow their bliss & intuitive hits, the freedom seekers, the sacred rebels – the ones who are here to disrupt what preceded us & create what is ahead of us.

Friends, I'm still buzzing from this week's episode of Can’t Be Contained! I had the INCREDIBLE honor of sitting down with Neale Donald Walsch, author of "Conversations with God" and someone whose work has deeply impacted my own spiritual journey. This conversation touched my heart in so many ways, and we explored everything from: ➤ How to recognize when God is speaking to us (Neale's perspective on this is fascinating!) ➤ The surprising spiritual potential of AI ➤ Understanding time as an illusion (Mind = BLOWN) ➤ Making JOY our JOB   What really moved me was Neale's core message about our lives not being about us, but about everyone whose life we touch. As someone who's spent years working with people through breathwork and personal development, this resonated so deeply with me. And you know we’ve got a BONUS for you, babes — Neale is offering all of you FREE access to his digital manuscript "The God Solution". This is such a gift, and I know you'll find it as valuable as I have. Find it HERE! Alright lovelies, if you're looking to deepen your spiritual connection, ready to challenge traditional religious perspectives or seeking a more authentic relationship with DIVINE WISDOM — this episode is for you!
