  • 357 - Doing the Hard Thing First: How Breathwork Makes Life Easier
    Oct 15 2025

    Today on Can’t Be Contained, Samantha Skelly is flying solo in a raw, unfiltered episode that goes wherever her intuition leads! Tune in as Samantha shares what it truly means to live a life that “can’t be contained”—one that’s ruthlessly soul-led, even when it’s messy, uncertain, and downright uncomfortable.

    From her sunlit LA studio, Samantha opens up about breaking free from routine, stepping out of comfort zones, and her passion for all things breathwork. She dives deep into the magic of conscious breath, revealing how even just three minutes can shift you from brain fog and anxiety to clarity and connection with your soul. If you’ve ever wondered why following your truth feels so hard—and so essential—this episode is for you.

    Samantha explores the power of putting yourself in rooms full of heart-centered, mission-driven people, and the transformational energy found in events like Women & Wealth. She shares how facing your “pain teachers”—those tough emotions and doubts—can actually amplify your influence, purpose, and happiness. And she’s dropping major wisdom on the difference between choosing the “hard” now for an easier, more joyful life later.

    Within this episode’s juicy stream-of-consciousness, we’ll dive into:

    ➤ How intentional breathwork creates spiritual awakenings (without waiting for the hard stuff)

    ➤ The necessity of feeling your feelings to truly heal

    ➤ Why leaders and high achievers choose their “hard” up-front

    ➤ Embracing pain, doubt, and discomfort as allies on the path of self-growth

    Join Samantha for a heartfelt riff on alignment, resilience, and the electric joy of living congruent with your soul. Whether you’re seeking clarity, healing, or inspiration to leap into the unfamiliar, this episode will give you the tools to elevate your life—brain-gasms and heart-gasms included!

    Pause, breathe, and let’s roll—this soul-powered episode can’t be missed.

  • 356 - How Somatic Healing and Self-Trust Unlock True Wellness with Kelly Gores
    Oct 8 2025

    Today, on Can’t Be Contained, I’m absolutely thrilled to sit down with Kelly Gores, producer, director, and the powerhouse behind the HEAL documentary! Kelly is a fierce advocate for trusting our own bodies’ innate wisdom to heal physically, emotionally, and spiritually. In this episode, we get raw and real about the incredible healing potential we all hold within.

    Kelly and I dive deep into the ways our bodies can heal themselves, how emotions get stored and processed physically, and the importance of tuning inwards to reclaim our sovereignty and self-trust. From somatic healing practices and the mind-body connection, to navigating major life upheavals (including losing her home!), Kelly walks us through her journey of turning pain into power.

    We swap stories about breaking free from the cultural and familial narratives that keep us stuck especially when it comes to health, wealth, and self-worth. We talk about the pressures of perfection, the societal push to numb out with things like alcohol, and why so many people are ditching drinking in favor of a more connected, conscious life.

    Within this episode’s vulnerable, inspiring conversation, we dive into:

    ➤ The body’s wisdom as a healing tool - physically and emotionally
    ➤ Applying somatic tools to process emotions and clear old trauma
    ➤ Redefining health and success for the next generation
    ➤ Raising conscious kids and breaking inherited patterns
    ➤ Navigating spiritual initiations, deep growth, and channeling your purpose


    Join us for this energetic and uplifting episode as Kelly shares her powerful perspective on healing from the inside out. Whether you’re navigating your own healing journey, curious about somatic practices, or just ready to reclaim your power, Kelly’s story will absolutely light you up!

    So settle in, breathe deep, and get ready to explore what happens when you step into radical self-trust, body wisdom, and embodied freedom.

  • 355 - From Grief to Growth: Healing, Divorce, and Living Your Truth with Natalia Benson
    Oct 1 2025

    Today on Can’t Be Contained, I am so excited to sit down with the incredible Natalia Benson! Natalia is a powerhouse - spiritual mentor, astrologer, entrepreneur, and soulful storyteller. In this deeply candid episode, we go everywhere: from the healing journey through intense grief and the raw realities of divorce, to navigating big transitions with courage, resilience, and unwavering trust in yourself and your path.

    Natalia opens up about the sudden loss of her father and the impact it had on her perspective, maturity, and spiritual connection. We unpack how grief can be a powerful teacher—one that brings us to our knees while opening us to new levels of presence and meaning. Our conversation travels through astrology (yes, expect some moon talk!), relationship dynamics, and the permission to rewrite old patterns so we can choose healthier love, both with ourselves and others.

    Inside this transformative episode, we explore:

    ➤ The soul’s journey through loss, grief, and rebirth

    ➤ Trusting your intuition and living your truth (even when it’s scary)

    ➤ Real talk on personal boundaries, non-negotiables, and claiming worthiness

    ➤ Navigating love, partnership patterns, and letting go so new growth can emerge

    Whether you’re in the messy middle of a life change, questioning what truly serves you, or just need to feel seen and supported—this conversation will meet you right where you are. Natalia’s honesty, wisdom, and spiritual insight make this a must-listen for anyone seeking depth, healing, and a reminder that you are never alone on your journey.

    So join us as we break open the myths of “having it all figured out,” talk the power of saying YES to your soul, and find the freedom that comes from living with radical truth.

  • 354 - Transforming Pain into Purpose: Paul Chek’s Guide to Spiritual Resilience and Growth
    Sep 24 2025

    Today on Can’t Be Contained, I am beyond thrilled to welcome the legendary Paul Chek! Paul is the founder of the CHEK Institute, a pioneer in holistic health, a walking encyclopedia of esoteric wisdom, and a true embodiment of living freely, mind, body, and spirit. In this episode, we dive deep into what it actually means to live an integrated, purpose-driven life, spirit gym included!

    Paul unpacks his wild and winding journey from dropping out of school in the ninth grade to leading the US Army boxing team, to building a transformative, global institution with over 63,000 students. We talk everything from unsuspecting small-town connections and his so-called “spiritual Disneyland” home, to the profound intersection of emotional, physical, and spiritual health.

    Paul shares his unique philosophy on mind-body connection, weaving together wisdom from numerology, tarot, shamanism, and holistic psychology. He drops absolute gold on transmuting trauma, heart-centered spiritual practices, the dance between ego and soul, and why having a dream bigger than yourself is everything. We’ll also chat about his new Spirit Gym, his years working with leaders like Tony Robbins, and how to avoid the pitfalls of average living.

    Within Paul’s infinite wisdom, you’ll hear:

    ➤ How to alchemize pain and trauma into power

    ➤ The role of breathwork, movement, and spiritual discipline in healing

    ➤ Mindset tools for dissolving self-doubt, perfectionism, and “watchdogs” within

    ➤ What it really takes to lead a world-changing movement, and why spiritual courage is non-negotiable

    ➤ The dangers of staying average, and the art of choosing levity, growth, and light


    If you’re ready to explore the heart-led path of true holistic wellness, personal sovereignty, and unleashing your limitless potential—this episode delivers. Whether you’re a seeker, a leader, or simply ready to break out of the constraints holding you back, Paul’s no-BS approach to soul, science, and success absolutely can’t be contained.

    Join us for a conversation that will ignite your spirit, challenge your limits, and get you thinking bigger—about yourself, your dreams, and the world around you.

  • 353 - SOLO JAM: Releasing Old Identities to Step Into Your Highest Self
    Sep 17 2025

    Today on Can’t Be Contained, host Sam Skelly invites you to drop into the wild and unscripted—no plan, no script, just pure, channelled wisdom. In this solo episode, Sam goes full improv mode, trusting the magic in uncertainty and the power of being present. If you love those deep, real talk downloads that only come when you surrender to the moment, this episode is for you!


    Sam shares how allowing white space in your life isn’t just liberating, it’s where the true alchemy happens. She recalls the transformational event “Untangled,” created without a single slide or script, and the pure magic that emerged when she simply showed up and trusted the arising. Sam explores why our addiction to certainty suffocates creativity—and how you can invite more play, flow, and authentic creation into your own world.


    We go deep on:

    ➤ Letting go of old stories, identities, relationships, and material stuff that no longer fit

    ➤ Building an unshakeable trust that you are always supported (yes, even when the plan falls apart)

    ➤ Rewriting your scarcity narrative around money, self-worth, and success

    ➤ The transformative power of pausing, breathwork, and embracing uncertainty

    ➤ How to renegotiate and energize relationships so you stop overgiving and attract equal partnerships


    Plus, Sam gives the inside scoop on the upcoming Women and Wealth event in San Diego—a gathering designed to help you heal, awaken, and step into your highest, most magnetic self. This is your open invitation to dance with life, trust the pauses, and lean into the mystery.


    Whether you’re navigating business, change, or just craving deeper soul alignment, Sam’s insights will encourage you to stop clinging to the familiar and start collaborating with life itself.


    Tune in for an episode that’s all heart, all truth, and all you—because the most potent magic can’t be contained.

    If you loved this riff, share the episode with a friend or drop a review—it helps spread the love to more wild-hearted humans. We see you, we love you, and we can’t wait for you to join the party!

  • 352: Bridging Spirituality and Science: Cathy Heller’s Guide To Abundance and Living a Fulfilling Life
    Sep 3 2025

    Welcome back to another episode of Can’t Be Contained! Today, I’m thrilled to be joined by the ever-so-incredible Cathy Heller! Cathy is a teacher, podcaster, and author of the book, “Abundant Ever After”, and this week we dive deep into the profound intersections between spirituality, creativity, and personal growth. Cathy graciously shares with me her insights on the transformative power of spirituality over medication for anxiety, and the true nature of abundance.

    Hot on the tail of the release of her new book, “Abundant Ever After” (BLACK FRIDAY DEAL HERE!), Cathy and I discuss the value of individuality and creative expression in a society full of pressures that threaten to hinder our full potential. She shares truly inspiring stories of individuals who have taken unconventional paths to success, emphasizing the fact that real fulfillment comes from authenticity and embracing the qualities that make you unique.

    Together, we explore:

    ➤ Common Misconceptions On Abundance

    ➤ Authenticity Vs. Conformity

    ➤ Enhancing Spiritual Awareness

    Look, we all face personal challenges. But if you’re looking to face those challenges with resilience then Cathy’s powerful message just might be what you need to hear! She truly can’t be contained—---and by tuning in and embracing your power—---neither can you.

  • 351: No More Self-Abandonment: Terri Cole’s Boundary Boss Secrets to Reclaim Your Energy
    Aug 27 2025

    Today on Can’t Be Contained, I am beyond excited to welcome back one of my absolute favorite humans, Terri Cole. If you’ve been around this space, you already know she’s the OG boundary queen, psychotherapist, bestselling author, and a woman who has radically changed the way thousands of us show up in life and love.

    This conversation? It’s all about reclaiming yourself. We go deep into boundaries—not as some rigid rulebook, but as your sacred rules of engagement with the world. We talk about what it really takes to release resentment, stop self-abandoning, and create the kind of relationships that feel safe, alive, and deeply nourishing.

    Terri and I get real about:
    ✨ The difference between standing in your truth vs. getting hijacked by old triggers
    ✨ The sneaky ways high-achieving women (yes, us) fall into codependency—especially with our work
    ✨ How to clean up energetic leaks so you can reclaim your freedom + vitality
    ✨ Why empathy (not advice) is the medicine your relationships are craving
    ✨ Simple, doable steps to set and express boundaries—without drama, guilt, or shame

    And because Terri is pure magic, she shares her signature “three cues for clarity” that will shift the way you understand your reactions forever. We even explore what it looks like to have a codependent relationship with your own business (yep, it’s a thing) and the liberation that comes when you finally choose YOU.

    If you’re ready to call your energy back, stop doing it all, and step into more joy, more wealth, and more love—you don’t want to miss this one. Terri brings the wisdom, the heart, and the fire… and my prayer is that this episode feels like a giant permission slip to stop overgiving and start thriving.

    Check the show notes for Terri’s free toolkit, her incredible community, and all the details on what she’s creating next, you’ll want in.

  • 350: Feeling behind in life & career? Here is the remedy.
    Aug 20 2025

    Today on Can’t Be Contained, I’m dropping an episode that is straight from my heart to yours — especially if you’ve ever felt “behind” in life.

    If you’ve ever looked around and thought, “Everyone else is making bank, getting married, having babies… and I’m just not there yet,” this one’s for you, babe.

    I’m opening up about my own journey — the wild expectations I had for myself by 25 (spoiler: barefoot in the kitchen with three kids didn’t happen), the crushing weight of comparing my timeline to everyone else’s, and the moment everything shifted when I finally chose to live life on my terms.

    We’re diving deep into…
    ➤ Letting go of society’s timelines and trusting that divine timing is always working for you
    ➤ Releasing urgency so you stop chasing and start attracting what you want by embodying who you’re becoming
    ➤ The energetic difference between creating from love and alignment vs. fear and comparison
    ➤ My favorite real-world practices — the timeline detox, trusting the universe, and living “as if” it’s already done
    ➤ Why surrender isn’t giving up… it’s plugging into your ultimate power

    And… I’m sharing all the juicy details about my upcoming Women & Wealth live event in San Diego — two soul-stirring days to break free from money limitations, connect with women who get you, and step into your million-dollar life.

    If you’re tired of feeling like you’re not enough or running out of time, this episode is your permission slip to breathe, trust, and embrace the timing of your own becoming. You are not behind. You are right on time.

    Take a beat. Tune in. Let’s return to presence, power, and possibility… together.
    Your life is unfolding perfectly. And you, my love, cannot be contained.
