Today, I'm SO excited to invite Susan Roderick, photographer, filmmaker, podcaster, international retreat and tour guide, and much more, to the show!

Our free-flowing conversation delves into how pain can inspire abundance, meditating in sensory deprivation tanks, and being raised with past lives in mind. Is "the formula" of capitalism the answer to happiness? What happens if we try to work that formula if it doesn't line up with our soul purpose? Does freedom require discipline? We explore these questions and much more in this delightfully unpredictable conversation!

Further research:

• @susanroderick — Susan's excellent and travel-tastic IG account
• Becoming Nobody documentary that I keep mentioning, hah
• Susan's website — where you can see her photos, films
• Susan's retreat website — Also learn about her amazing retreats! I'm particularly excited about the one later this year in Bali!
• Andrew's TikTok with the best of ASCENDANT and his travel adventures — I mention this in the outro, and we're having a lot of fun over there 😂

Mahalo & Thank you for supporting this one-of-a-kind podcast! And in the aftershow, Susan shares a possibly the WILDEST story yet for an aftershow, about an ET encounter when she was just 6 years old. I don't want to over-exaggerate, but that story is worth joining the Patreon in and of itself, IMHO. And then after, she shares a pretty trippy story about being with her father as he passed away, truly witnessing his soul drop that physical vehicle in a very palpable way. She describes it so beautifully.
