In this episode of the Rough Draft Podcast, Sabrina sits down with long-time friend, impact consultant, and author Dana Shalit to celebrate the release of her highly anticipated book, Pathways to Self: The Path to Purpose Through the Nine Steps of Self-Realization (available August 18th).

Dana demystifies hypnotherapy, explains how she went from being a rigid, logical thinker to embracing the power of the subconscious, and shares why reclaiming "selfishness" is actually the ultimate act of self-preservation. Whether you are feeling burnt out, disconnected from your intuition, or ready to step into your most authentic self, this conversation is a beautiful guide to coming home to who you truly are.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

• Demystifying Hypnotherapy: How accessing the theta brain wave allows us to bypass the conscious mind and rewrite limiting beliefs.
• The Spielberg Method for Creativity: Giving yourself full permission to "make it up" to unlock deep subconscious wisdom.
• The 9 Steps of Self-Realization: A look inside Dana’s framework, focusing heavily on self-awareness, building unbreakable self-trust, and consistency over intensity (self-discipline).
• The Case for Selfishness: Why women are conditioned to self-abandon, and how to start giving from your overflow instead of your empty cup.
• Navigating the Dark Night of the Soul: How solidifying these inner practices prepares you for when "life starts life-ing."
