We talk about intimacy, commitment, yoga, sexuality, tantra, physiology, psychology, and more! She is a powerful force and you're going to get it as soon as you listen. So let's sit back, relax, and get INformation....

Choosing Life & Love with Scott Kaufman
01:10:08||Season 1Scott Kaufman is like a wizard for the heart. He has a way of getting down to the nitty-gritty really quickly, and in a way that feels true, and approachable. As a coach, he offers practical and tangible tools that can be implemented immediately and shares authentically every time we connect. Which, lucky for me, is pretty often. I am so stoked to share his story and his wisdom with you today.In today's episode, we dive deep into some of our psychedelic experiences, together and separately. He shares about his ego deaths that were utterly life-altering in every way imaginable. We talk about polarity, couple's work, and men's work. He coaches me on some old stories that I hadn't fully released, and so much more.Let's get to it.www.thebridge.la@scott_thebridgewww.alexasilvaggio.com@alexasilvaggioPS.

21:17|If you're on a path of growth, there is no doubt that moments of uncertainty, and a desire to regress will percolate. In today's solo episode, I invite you to shift your relationship to the liminal from one of dismay to one of reverence, acceptance, and maybe even welcome. If you're in transition, which, who isn't? Today's episode is for you. Walking beside you my loves. Let's get Atlared. - Alexa17. Do You Love Your Body
22:47||Season 1, Ep. 17We have been conditioned to believe our worth is based on a number on the scale. On what our body can do. How it performs. On what it looks like. Even on how it feels. For many, our insecurity is all encompassing—and it’s fed daily by an economy that proliferates and prospers off of us feeling like shit about ourselves. And in that constant, fear-gripped state of reactivity, we lash out and seek to control the thing society tells us contains our total worth: Our bodies. It’s a pretty nasty tactic, but I gotta say, it’s working. In the United States alone, 20 million women and 10 million men suffer from clinically diagnosed eating disorders. And that 30 million doesn’t include those of us who are simply crippled by body shame, dysmorphia, or fall prey to our reactive, traumatic culture around looks. This is why loving yourself is a radical act. Because the odds are not in your favor here. In today's solo episode, I dive deep into how to cultivate a more loving relationship to your body. I share a bit about my experience, and offer some reframes and tools that I hope can serve. If this episode resonated, share it, post it, leave a 5-star review... this will help get the podcast in more ears. And we want that, we want more souls getting Altared. Let's go! - Alexa15.

Connect to our beloved Sylvester, and learn more about him, below. @sylvestermcnutt www.sylvestermcnutt.netI believe the best decision I ever made was to commit to a lifetime of healing, presence, and joy.During the 1980s my parents brought me into this world at the end of August. Growing up with four seasons in the Chicago-land area gave me access to year-round activity and engagement. I fell in love quickly with sports, the arts, and expressing myself as a human being. There was pain & addiction in my family system that I had to overcome. When I was younger I wished I had the skills, knowledge, and energy to keep my parents together, to keep my family unit together. This thirst for an understanding of psychology, communication, and spirituality became my life’s dharma. Now, I’m 10+ years into my career as an author, speaker, podcast host, and I also am certified yoga teacher. I became the adult that I needed as a kid. I believe the best decision I ever made was to commit to healing, presence, and joy.Namaste,Sylvester
