This week on Radically Loved we are bringing you a (re)cast from the Highest Self Podcast. Sahara hosts her bestie, Rosie Acosta (they just did an epic episode all about the science of attraction last month!) to dive into WHAT they both would have done differently on their spiritual journeys. They are sharing ALL the greatest downloads and realizations they have accumulated over the years, and Sahara is curious how many of you feel similarly about the different topics they dive into in this episode. Rosie and Sahara are always doing micro-podcasts in their day-to-day convos so it only feels right to share some of the wisdom with YOU!

Rosie and Sahara love to take big concepts and apply them to their lives with the intention of how they can make us better humans and have more of the things that we desire and that’s exactly what this episode is all about! They dive into spiritual bypass, shadow work, lessons of ayahuasca/plant medicine, controlling your internal environment, resistance being your biggest teacher, surrender/non-attachment, the power of discernment on your spiritual path, and so so much more!

Whether you’re just beginning your spiritual journey or you’ve been in it for a while, this episode will leave you with lots of juicy downloads and inspo to integrate into your life/spiritual practices. Come share on my Instagram post about this episode some of the things you would have done differently on your spiritual journey!
