In this episode of High On Life, Melissa sits down with transformational coach, consultant, writer, and co-author of The Way of the Initiate: Stories of Remembering, Awakening and Becoming the New Human, Sarah Farina, for a conversation about what happens when the life you built falls apart.When significant areas of Sarah's personal life collapsed — and at a point when she could barely walk without a cane — she booked a trip and set out alone to walk the Camino de Santiago, the longest route, the Via de la Plata. What began as a physical challenge became a pilgrimage: a stripping away of the roles, rules and credentials she had used to define herself, and a slow remembering of who she was underneath all of it.Together, Melissa and Sarah explore surrender, resilience, shadow work, creativity as a healing path, and what it actually means to flourish after everything familiar falls away.In This Episode We Explore:- Why Sarah walked the Camino at the exact moment in her life when walking had become nearly impossible- The energy of a path walked by pilgrims for thousands of years — and how she felt it even while walking alone in remote country- Finisterre, "the end of the earth," and her obsession with what lies past the edge of your own imagination- The meaning crisis: doing everything right, following all the rules, and waking up asking "what was it all for?"- The day she collapsed in the rain, waited 45 minutes for the inflammation to drop, and realized it was never about whether her leg would bend- Why the biggest lesson of the Camino turned out to be fun — and why that felt irresponsible before it felt like freedom- Coming home to water and writing: open water swimming, Word Garden writing prompts, and the memoir that came out of it- Walking the Camino a second time, on the page — how writing the story let her relive and finally integrate every lesson- What transformational coaching actually is, and why it's about supporting an energy shift rather than handing out advice- The difference between a successful life and a fulfilled life- Surrender: why two years of affirmations and rituals didn't get her there, and what finally did- The story of the Vietnamese refugees who swam versus the ones who floated- Melissa's Nepal lake story — snapping an oar in half and discovering surrender the hard way- Sarah's answer to what it means to be High on LifeOne of the Most Powerful Ideas from This EpisodeAcceptance isn't accepting the thing you don't want.As Sarah puts it, acceptance is accepting that life is far bigger than what you can see from where you're standing right now. That reframe matters, because most of us refuse to surrender out of a belief that letting go means saying the unbearable thing was okay. It doesn't. It means loosening the grip of control we hold onto for the sense of safety it gives us — and admitting that the skills, competencies and strategies that made us powerful in one context simply don't work in this one.Key TakeawayBe kind to yourself first.Sarah's first step for anyone in collapse isn't a technique — it's permission. Allow yourself to be exactly as you are, including angry, grieving, and unable to hold your own emotions. Then ask for help, out loud, especially if you're the capable one who has always been the helper. And find your own version of the journey: writing, dance, water, whatever lets you experience your life in a way that's meaningful to you. You don't have to walk 1,000 kilometres in Spain to walk yourself home.A Favorite Quote from the Episode - "I fell in love with who I was on the path — not at the end of the path."Connect with Sarah FarinaLearn about Sarah's transformational coaching practice, Flourish, subscribe to her email healing series, and join the waitlist for her Camino memoir, The Other Side of My Smile:https://sarahfarina.co/Find her writing and reflections on Substack and Instagram: @thesarahfarinaThe Way of the InitiateSarah is one of the co-authors of The Way of the Initiate: Stories of Remembering, Awakening and Becoming the New Human, out this September.
