Today on Can't Be Contained, I'm joined by my dear friend, the incredible Mandy Ferdman! Mandy is not just the creative mastermind behind Bath Haus (yes, the newly patented filtered bathtub spout you'll soon be obsessed with!), but she's also a meditation prodigy, energy alignment enthusiast, and one of the most intuitive, truth-telling women I know. In this episode, Mandy and I crack open a raw, hilarious, and deeply real conversation about intuition, feminine leadership, and the pursuit of radical alignment in life and business. Mandy shares how intuition and energetic alignment have guided everything from crafting a viral maid-of-honor speech to launching a game-changing wellness company all while balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship (and, spoiler alert: she's got zero tolerance left for people-pleasing!). We get into the nitty gritty of: ➤ The art of attuning to subtlety and learning from intuition vs. chaos ➤ The power and pain of radical honesty (even when it risks relationships) ➤ How rejecting societal “shoulds” and embracing the path of least resistance can supercharge your business, creative projects, and family life ➤ Practical, real-talk strategies for moving through triggers and emotional contractions—without letting them explode your life ➤ Navigating the new era of women in business, discerning alignment in team and partners, and how to trust your body's wisdom (even when everyone else says otherwise) ➤ How motherhood unlocked her deepest creative flow and helped her build a mission-driven business from love (not hustle) We also share some of our own stories about growing (up, together, and as women in business), learning to hold strong boundaries, and owning our wild, creative spirits—plus a behind-the-scenes look at Mandy's journey with Bathhouse and what's next for this revolutionary wellness brand. If you're ready for an episode that's packed with gut-level honesty, big laughs, practical magic, and wisdom for building a life and business that feels truly aligned, this one's for you!

Today, on Can't Be Contained, I'm so excited to be joined by the incredible Heidi Stevens! Heidi is a powerhouse coach, speaker, and entrepreneur known for helping women embrace their full potential—with careers, families, and all the nuance in between. In this episode, Heidi and I go deep into the realities of female entrepreneurship, motherhood, and the art of living a life that's totally aligned and energetically rich. We get real about the ultimate initiation into motherhood—what's joyful, what's overwhelming, and how our identities shift when we step into new roles. Heidi opens up about her own “dark night of the soul,” how moving from L.A. to a San Diego ranch transformed her life, and why sometimes the bravest move is to slow down, simplify, and confront everything that's out of alignment. We talk about the messy truth behind building a business “like a man,” why it doesn't work for every woman, and how the new wave of feminine leadership is actually about nurturing empires, not just building and scaling them. Heidi shares intimate stories about trusting your intuition, surviving burnout, and the power of rest over relentless hustle. In this episode, we unpack: ➤ The spiritual and practical sides of motherhood—and how to make space for new energies (and kiddos!) ➤ Why sometimes success means burning it down or taking a long pause—and how to know which is right for you ➤ The journey from achievement-driven to energy-driven—creating a business model that's rooted in alignment rather than overwhelm ➤ Rituals and practices for rest, nervous system nourishment, and coming home to self—plus why gardening, breathwork, and even microdosing mushrooms can be part of the path ➤ The vision for a new paradigm of feminine business, collective dreams, and leading from devotion instead of just consistency Whether you're a high-energy go-getter, a mom in the weeds, or a woman forging your own trail in business, this conversation is all about radical honesty, deep permission, and the courage to create an authentic, wild, and totally uncontained life. Tune in to reclaim your energy, reconnect to your mission, and remember—you really can't be contained! Share this episode with a woman who inspires you and let's keep building our dream lives, together.

Today, on Can't Be Contained, I'm dropping into the FINAL chapter of our Burnout Series—and this one's a game-changer. We're talking all things Spiritual Burnout: what it is, how to spot it when it sneaks in, and the practical tools to find your way home to yourself and Source. I got real about my own experiences with that deep, soul-level exhaustion, and how “white-knuckling” your way through life isn't the vibe. In this episode, I'll be sharing my personal toolkit for navigating the ache of spiritual disconnection—think: breathwork, service, surrender, and actionable ways to reestablish your connection to something greater. We'll dig into the difference between living all grind, no grace versus actually letting yourself be held and guided. I'll unpack golden research from Dr. Lisa Miller, and answer the big question: how can we hold all of life, without letting it get heavy? Within today's conversation, you'll hear: ➤ How to recognize spiritual burnout (and why it hits hardest when life looks “fine” on the outside) ➤ The role of breathwork in coming back to Source ➤ Why service is spiritual, and how giving transforms you ➤ Letting go of doing it all, and allowing grace to move through your life If you've been feeling numb, lost, or just over carrying the weight of the world alone, this episode is for you. It's an invitation to drop what isn't yours, tune into your own divine guidance, and trust that you're never, ever alone. I'll also share my go-to practices (like the Pause Breathwork app) to help you reconnect anytime, anywhere. So take a breath, and join me as we get radically honest about burnout and reclaim your connection to Soul, Spirit, and true support. Whether you're deep in burnout or just looking for more meaning, you'll find tools and heart-centered wisdom you can't afford to miss.

Alright, my loves—today on Can't Be Contained, we're jumping right into a topic that so many of you are quietly wrestling with… burnout. I'm back on the mic and, let me tell you, I had a hilarious flashback to my Hungry for Happiness days. (Yes, I almost welcomed you back to the wrong podcast! Maybe Hungry for Happiness will make a comeback one day—who knows?) But listen, this episode is all about those sneaky signs of physical burnout. You know what I'm talking about: the irritation for no reason, blaming full moons and launches, overriding our nervous system with constant ambition. Whew. It's exhausting. And it's SO normalized in our culture to hustle ‘til it hurts, but honestly, it's time to flip the script. Here's what we're getting into: ➤ Why burnout is so silent and so easy to miss (until you're deep in it) ➤ The science behind physical burnout and how your mitochondria are begging for some TLC ➤ How something as simple as breathwork can actually boost your energy, turn on your body's healing, and even slow visible signs of aging (real talk: it took anti-aging research to finally get my mom on board!) ➤ The truth about slow productivity, doing less really well, and why your body needs you to rebel against hustle culture Plus, I share a client story that will blow your mind: 20 minutes of breathwork a day turned her chronic fatigue completely around. We're covering practical basics, too—food, water, sleep, all the stuff you already know, but probably aren't doing. (Let's be real.) So if you're feeling stuck, tired, or just “off,” this one is for you. Come hang with me, get rebellious, and let's start restoring your body and your energy from the inside out. Oh—and if you're not already on the Pause Breathwork app, grab your free 14-day trial. Trust me, you'll want that lifeline when you forget just how powerful you actually are.

Today on Can't Be Contained, I'm diving deep into one of the most misunderstood—and straight-up sneaky—challenges most of us face in our lives: burnout. If you're a go-getter, a high achiever, or just trying to keep up with all the demands of daily life, I see you, and I made this episode just for you! This is the kickoff to a brand new mini-series where I tackle all the different faces of burnout—mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. In this first episode, I'm zeroing in on mental burnout: what it looks like, why it's especially rampant for women (hello, invisible labor and social pressure!), and exactly how I've learned to outsmart it over the past 15 years. I'm sharing my own reflections, research, and honest stories about running on empty, plus the best tools I've discovered to reclaim my energy and sanity. I break down how burnout likes to hide—sometimes showing up as indecisiveness, mental fog, or just that “blah” feeling of losing yourself—and how you can actually batch, systemize, and delete so much of the mental overload that's weighing you down. I'll walk you through: ➤ The real signs of mental burnout—and why it's often overlooked ➤ How screen time and constant input fry our brains (and how I set boundaries with technology) ➤ The power of energy audits and making room for what truly nourishes you ➤ Why sometimes doing nothing is the most productive thing you can do ➤ How to stop wearing that Superwoman cape, ease up on the proving and performing, and actually feel freedom in your day-to-day I talk about digital detoxes, breathwork resets (including how I use the Pause Breathwork app—go check out the Midday Reset track!), and why setting outrageously firm boundaries with your time is the biggest gift you can give yourself. If you're ready to ditch the overwhelm and reclaim your clarity, creativity, and life force—this episode is for you. Whether you're a busy parent, in the midst of a big career, or just craving more space and ease, I hope these practices will support you in living a life that feels more free, connected, and completely uncontainable. If this resonated with you, it would mean the world if you subscribe, share, or leave a review—the more of us who break free from burnout, the better.

I know we've done solo episodes before, but this time I'm diving into something I use every single day—a powerful tool that I've never actually dedicated a whole episode to until now: The 30 Second Reset. Inspired by a heartfelt email from one of our listeners, Emily (thank you, love!), I'm sharing what to do when life feels overwhelming and emotions start to take over.

Whether you're in early stages of burnout, or feeling completely burnt out - I've got your back. In this episode, I'm getting super real about what true, soul-level burnout looks like—and trust me, it's more than just being tired. I'm talking about that deep, “I can't even send a text” kind of fatigue that seeps into your bones and makes you question everything. But it's not all doom and gloom! I'll take you through why our culture is so good at numbing out with quick fixes and why it's time to ditch the “band-aids on bullet wounds” and actually FEEL your emotions (spoiler: you are the drug, you hold your own antidote). You'll hear my rituals for reclaiming energy, how I use breathwork to regulate my nervous system, and why a simple identity shift is the real secret sauce for lasting change. Yep, I'll even guide you through my favorite 30-second breathwork reset right here on the show! Inside this episode, I'll walk you through: ➤ Why burnout isn't just physical exhaustion—it's emotional, mental, and spiritual ➤ My signature Sunday energy audit ritual for identifying your true drains (and what to do about them) ➤ How turning towards your pain and emotions becomes pure life force (seriously, you're that powerful) ➤ Simple, doable shifts—like breathwork, movement, and moments of stillness—that spark aliveness ➤ How to embody a new identity, so taking care of yourself becomes automatic rather than impossible If you're sick of white-knuckling your way through the day, ready to swap out overwhelm for inspiration, or just need a reminder that your energy and joy actually matter—this episode is for you.

Today on Can't Be Contained, I get to sit down with someone who is not only a dear friend, but one of the most honest, energizing voices I know—John Wang! John is a champion of Big Asian Energy (yes, he literally wrote the book on it!), an advocate for anyone who's fought to be seen, and a living, breathing example of what happens when you shatter the boxes the world puts you in. As I recorded this intro, I was literally packing for a Vegas keynote, thinking about how wild life gets when you set your intention and fully claim it. It's not magic—it's clarity. And clarity? That is where today's conversation begins. From there, John and I roll deep. Like, deep enough to laugh about our inner children, roasting each other about country music (Amy, we love you!), and unpacking what it actually took for both of us—after lifetimes of being the achievers, the pleasers, the strong ones—to let go of old scripts and let ourselves feel. Not just feel, but receive, expand, and own the space we're meant for. Listen in as John shares his journey growing up in a culture that taught him to silence his own greatness, how breakdown led to breakthrough (men's group, what?!), and how being honest about the messiness actually brought more love—and power—into every area of his life. Inside, we dig into: ➤ How a “burnout breakdown” became the catalyst for John's true calling ➤ Rewriting the story of worthiness—especially for high achievers and “model minorities” ➤ The step-by-step way to bring your inner child (and all your parts!) back online so you can lead and love from wholeness ➤ Real tools for couples wanting more emotional connection, even if your partner “doesn't get” inner work yet ➤ Why receiving—compliments, support, rest, JOY—matters just as much as being productive If you've ever felt unseen, like you're living below your potential, or trapped in patterns that just don't fit anymore—this episode is your permission slip to break free. We talk relationships, power dynamics, joy over productivity (yes, I quit an $11 million offer that drained my soul!), and why “having it all together” is so last season. This isn't just about Asians, or men, or entrepreneurs—it's about anyone who's ready to let their light all the way out, even if it gets a little awkward, a little messy, or a LOT real. Grab John's new book Big Asian Energy and my free 3-minute breathwork for imposter syndrome, because whether you're on the edge of a breakthrough or just searching for your voice—trust me, you are SO worthy. And the world needs exactly what only you can bring. Join us as we laugh, get raw, and remind ourselves (and you!) that your energy cannot—will not—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.

Friends, I'm still buzzing from this week's episode of Can't Be Contained!

Hey guys! Welcome back to Can't Be Contained! This week, I'm rolling solo and sharing my insights on a topic I believe is crucial for every entrepreneur—--somatic practices.

On this week's episode of Can't Be Contained, I'm rolling solo again and digging into personal development as seen through the lens of Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey. Although it's most well-known as a template for narrative stories, The Hero's Journey can be an incredibly powerful framework for initiating transformation and self-discovery.    As the quest for personal fulfillment can feel endless and full of hurdles, having the skills to identify and apply the various stages of The Hero's Journey to whatever stage of life you find yourself in is invaluable.    From the call to action, (the most overwhelming part of anyone's personal growth journey), the refusal, to the crossing of the threshold, Joseph Campbell's monomyth resembles the true-to-life stages of growth and applies to far more than just fictional narratives.    Throughout my dissection of the hero's journey, I'll get into:  ➤The cyclical nature of the hero's journey  ➤The role of momentum in personal and professional endeavors ➤Confronting self-doubt   Do you find yourself on the precipice of profound personal transformation? Then listen in—take the first step—-and embrace the HERO in you.    For full show notes, resources, and links: https://www.samanthaskelly.com/episode-297-personal-development-heros-journey-joseph-campbell 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.
