The Sacred Savage: Faith, Fire & the Freedom to Feel Everything

—with Sean Whalen, founder of Lions Not Sheep

What happens when power stops being loud… and starts being honest?

In this raw, unfiltered episode of Her Reign, Her Rules, Lo Mack sits down with Sean Whalen for a conversation that goes far beyond business, branding, or bravado. This is a deep dive into the internal wars we fight— the ones between control and surrender, chaos and peace, faith and fire.

Together, they unpack what it really means to be both sacred and savage:

•The difference between raw truth and performative authenticity

•How past relationships and trauma wire our nervous systems for conflict

•Why peace can feel more threatening than chaos

•What loving again looks like after the war

•How faith evolves when you’ve already built everything you once prayed for

This isn’t a polished interview, it’s a BIG conversation. Sharp. Playful. Psychological. A little dangerous. With moments of humor, tension, and honesty.

If you’ve ever felt too intense, too honest, too driven or caught between who you had to be to survive and who you’re becoming now— this episode is for you.

Because real power isn’t about domination.

It’s about regulation.

And freedom starts when you stop fighting battles you’ve already won.

You know those moments where life burns your carefully drawn map and hands you a mirror instead? This episode is that. We talk recovery, embracing old identities, being comfortable being alone with yourself, your purpose and so much more

What You’ll Hear:

• The unraveling that wakes you up

• The “Pivot Season” between who you were and who you’re becoming

• The mirror moment that forces brutal honesty

• Why peace doesn’t come after success—it comes after surrender

• The Soft or Savage Game: Calling out faux-healing, fake accountability, and the audacity of people who miss the “old you”

EP 003 - with Ania Schietzelt IS LIVE!

We’re calling out the chase, the settle, and the savage truths behind both while breaking down modern love, real communication, and the messy-beautiful balance of staying true to yourself while showing up for someone else.

From “how to communicate when life gets busy” to decoding red & green flags, to our Soft or Savage takes on love, lust, and grown-up boundaries—this one’s got all the tea and the truth bombs.

Because we don’t chase, we communicate, calibrate, and keep our crowns on straight.
