Navigating Change: Ayahuasca, Ego, And Adventure With Sara Roccisano
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Host April DeMille interviews Sarah Roccisano, a world-traveling author, motivational speaker, and founder of Emboldened Adventures, about her shift from a 20+ year New York City corporate career (investment banking through the 2008 crisis, renewable energy, government work, $30B in transactions, and three layoffs including a two-and-a-half-year unemployment period) to a transformation-driven life after hitting a “brick wall” in 2022. Sarah previews her three-part true-story book series covering 2019–2026, beginning with “Stone Temple Passport: Awake and Radiate with Mama Ayahuasca,” and explains ayahuasca, its indigenous ceremonial context, and the role of shamans and integration. They discuss intuition vs anxiety, ego’s role and reciprocity, sovereignty amid societal shifts, daily nature-based rituals, outgrowing “not enough,” and shedding her former identity.
Sara Roccisano is a world-traveling author, international speaker, a wayshower, and the founder of Embolden AdventuresTM LLC. From the depths of the oceans to the heights of the mountains, to the ancient megalithic and everywhere else in between, Sara’s adventures are as expansive and colorful as the cultures she has encountered throughout the world.
Even though Sara has explored over 43 countries and more than half of the states of the United States, what makes her story truly remarkable is her deep, two-decade spiritual awakening and quest for self-discovery achieved by working with wisdom keepers, connecting with the natural world, and answering the call to adventure.
Sara’s purpose is to inspire personal, professional, and spiritual development through these extraordinary times of change and transformation.
Driven by adventure and curiosity, she brings a unique mix of optimism, effective communication, and a strong sense of connectedness, enabling Sara to wonderfully motivate individuals and groups.
