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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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.
