When spiritual teacher Biet Simkin and I created "sober curious" event series Club SÖDA NYC, our goal was to extend the invitation of sobriety beyond 12-step or recovery circles to anybody questioning their relationship to booze. Three years later, these events have played a pivotal role in helping shift thinking about drinking—as noted in a 2019 write-up in the NY Times on "The New Sobriety"! Now nearly 11 years clean from alcohol, cocaine, and heroin abuse, in this episode Biet shares the story of the "awakening" that led to her getting sober, as well as some signature rock 'n' roll teachings and insights from her new book, Don't Just Sit There! In this conversation, which contains STRONG language and a few trigger warnings (beware!) we also discuss: -The lies we are telling ourselves when we're numbing with drugs & alcohol -Why not drinking is a shocking and rebellious act -Why tragedy and loss can be calls to a personal awakening -Why it is impossible to shut down the "negative" parts of being human, and how to accept them -Why doing cocaine off toilets with celebrities is NOT a sign that you have "made it" Discover more about Biet Simkin and her work HERE, follow her on Instagram, and get a copy of her book HERE. You can also check out a video playback from our last Club SÖDA NYC event, titled Psychedelics & Sobriety, HERE. This episode was created in partnership with DRY Sparkling.

Listen & Subscribe on iTunes   Biet Simkin Glass wasn't always a spiritual thought leader and meditation teacher. After being signed by Sony and living the rock and roll lifestyle, she (in her own words) 'fell apart' as a heroin addict. But after a series of life-altering and eye-opening events (such as the death of her first child and her first), she started on the path of sobriety and discovering her best self.   Today, she uses lessons she's learned from loss and love to helping others find their best selves through meditation and coaching, including Mark, who she helped get through a downer-day by sharing a breathing exercise and sharing her infectious positive spirit.   To hear how Biet continues to develop and pursue an enlightened life despite all the challenges she's faced, check out Episode 217 of Are You Being Real!     Connect with Mark: Instagram | Facebook | Twitter Connect with Biet: Instagram | Facebook | Twitter BietSimkin.com   Show Notes: -How the loss of her first child helped her the best version of herself. -What gave her hope through tragedy. -What authenticity means to Biet and how pain and suffering play into it. -The importance of remembering who you are. -Biet's daily ritual for honoring herself. -What we can expect from her new book "Don't Just Sit There." -Biet's opinion on drugs. -Why she is curious about experiencing death.     Things to Check Out:• Book: "Don't Just Sit There" by Biet Simkin

"Don't Just Sit There!"

Water Walker (Part 3: Don't Just Sit There) by Fellowship Church

This week we have a total rockstar guest for you: Biet Simkin! Biet has an incredible story of trauma, discovery and growth and we totally bonded during this interview. I felt like we’d been lifelong friends, and hopefully you will too. Please note that there is some adult language and content in the episode, so please put headphones on if there are sensitive ears nearby. Also, Biet leads us in a gorgeous meditation (complete with her original music) towards the end of the recording. If you’re listening while driving or operating machinery, you must pause the interview at that point and only participate in the meditation when you are in a safe place. About Biet Biet Simkin is the Founder of Center of the Cyclone, an immersive experience that weaves meditation, self inquiry, art, music and fashion, offering an explosive experience. She is inspired by the rare and almost impossible task of entering into the present moment and creates this experience globally. After 30 years of study in the field Biet’s feeling was that the world of the intellect, fashion and art needed spirituality, and the world of spirituality was often missing the mark and needed some vanity and fire. Colliding these two worlds, Biet has created events with MoMA, Lululemon, SoulCycle, Summit Series, Vice, Free People, Sundance Film Festival, Bonnaroo Festival, Soho House, Mind Body Green, 1 Hotels, Neuehouse, Wanderlust Festival, Adidas, Samsung, Sony and more. Currently Biet has a book about the laws of meditation entitled "Don't Just Sit There!" to be released in Spring of 2019 with Simon & Schuster. She is the resident and in-house Meditation Leader at all 1 Hotels with in-room content across all properties. Biet is also the voice of Expectful, a meditation app for pregnant expecting mothers. Meditation with Biet is different in that it is more emotional, her work takes you through the emotional, intellectual, instinctive and moving centers to get to a place of equanimity and joy. Through private one on ones, corporate groups, parties, speaking engagements and pop-ups in museums and art galleries, Biet is bringing this big work into the world and helping raise consciousness from the outside in. Her work is also unique as it is bringing the sound of her music into the meditation experiences and giving music a new venue. Her latest album ‘The Lunar’ debuted September 2015. Her work has been featured in Harper’s Bazaar, ELLE, Vogue, The Observer, TIME Magazine, Forbes, The London Times and more! My favorite moments and takeaways from our conversation: Biet grew up unconventionally - a child of Russian Jews who fled their communist country, Biet was their “freedom child” Biet’s father was a spiritual teacher so spirituality was something Biet grew up around Biet went on to live an unconventional life as well when she pursued a music career - it was very much sex, drugs, rock and roll for Biet During her time as a musician, Biet used alcohol and later harder drugs to get into a spiritual space, as her life actually felt very empty The deaths of family members, and particularly her father, escalated a life change for Biet that made her re-evaluate her path Biet felt that the universe was asking her to continue her father’s work as a spiritual teacher….and so she did In the beginning, Biet was working random side jobs for cash while she asked friends if anyone wanted to be coached/guided by her and to just “pay what they want to pay her” as a means to start her work as a spiritual teacher Eventually, Biet was hosting spiritual events at well known places like Art Basel, Sundance Film Festival, Soul Cycle, and with brands like Adidas, Sony, Samsung Biet recently had a baby girl, which brought with it its own challenges, but she is loving motherhood so far Biet’s has a new book, “Don’t Just Sit There!” is to be released this spring Biet is also seeking new coaching clients Connect with Biet: Instagram: @guidedbybiet bietsimkin.com Biet’s Book Here’s to Getting Unstuck, Cynthia Sponsor Love: Today’s episode is brought to you by Russ Hickman Photography.
