In this episode of Conscious Conversations, I sit down with Danny Morel, spiritual guide, entrepreneur, author, speaker, and founder of a global awakening community of over 3.5 million people.

Together, we discuss the global awakening happening right now on planet Earth — and why millions of people are starting to ask deeper questions about the lives they’ve built, the beliefs they inherited, the success they chased, the relationships they accepted, and the versions of themselves they were told they had to become.

But awakening is not always light, easy, or glamorous.

Sometimes the search for healing can become another place to lose yourself.

Danny and I explore how to wake up without getting lost in the sauce. How to learn from teachers without putting them on pedestals. How to explore spirituality, plant medicine, God, religion, nature, and transformation without outsourcing your power. And how to move from simply knowing the language of healing into actually embodying it.

Danny also shares his own awakening story, including the loss of his mother, questioning religion, leaving behind external validation, facing his ego, and the moments that forced him to choose truth over the life he had been programmed to live.

We also get into the guru complex, spiritual discernment, the rise and fall of spiritual teachers, the shift we are seeing from plant medicine spaces back toward religion, Danny’s perspective on Jesus and God, personal truth, universal truth, and the commercialization of spirituality.

My hope is that this episode invites you deeper into your own truth as you navigate the world of spirituality, healing, religion, awakening, and transformation.

But above all, I hope it invites you to keep asking deeper questions.

In this episode of Conscious Conversations, Lana sits down with Amanda Baudier, an integrated spiritual teacher, entrepreneur mentor, and former managing partner at Tao Group, to explore the journey from New York nightlife, celebrity access, and high-achievement burnout into spiritual integration, embodiment, and purpose.

Amanda shares how she went from a working-class childhood in Maryland to Columbia University, then into the center of New York nightlife — planning parties for names like Beyoncé, Prince, and Leonardo DiCaprio. From the outside, it looked like the dream life: Tao, Lavo, Marquee, Beauty & Essex, celebrities, private planes, and access. But underneath the glamour was overwork, clout addiction, and a deeper question of worth, belonging, and identity.

At 28, Amanda’s body forced her to stop when a routine checkup revealed a severe, life-threatening heart arrhythmia that required an ablation. What she later understood as not just a physical injury, but a “soul injury,” became the beginning of her deeper healing path — one that led her into Reiki, yoga, meditation, somatic work, shamanic practice, and ultimately her work helping others integrate spirituality into real life.

Together, Lana and Amanda talk about the shadow side of success, the cost of chasing access and status, why the glitter isnt always gold, what it means to live a “double life” between ambition and spirituality, and why becoming who you really are does not always follow a clean, linear path.

This conversation is for anyone who has ever built a life that looked good from the outside, but started to feel misaligned on the inside.

Topics covered

New York nightlife, Tao Group, celebrity culture, burnout, heart surgery, spiritual awakening, soul loss, nervous system healing, somatic work, ambition, purpose, reinvention, late blooming, integration, and becoming.
