You Might Want to Sit Down for This
The "You Might Want to Sit Down for This" podcast, hosted by Laila Elbanna, dives into the mind, body, heart, and ultimately soul of our human experiences, unraveling pain, confusion, and fear, to reveal love, truth, and oneness. Whether it's elevated spiritual concepts, various healing modalities, or personal accounts of alchemy, as you listen, you will be activated into deeper loving awareness, feeling inspired, empowered, and connected. Through cultivating community and practical guidance, we serve the collective through heart-based consciousness, accessing our multidimensionality, and letting the content live up to the name.
