Today on Can’t Be Contained, I am so excited to sit down with the incredible Natalia Benson! Natalia is a powerhouse - spiritual mentor, astrologer, entrepreneur, and soulful storyteller. In this deeply candid episode, we go everywhere: from the healing journey through intense grief and the raw realities of divorce, to navigating big transitions with courage, resilience, and unwavering trust in yourself and your path.

Natalia opens up about the sudden loss of her father and the impact it had on her perspective, maturity, and spiritual connection. We unpack how grief can be a powerful teacher—one that brings us to our knees while opening us to new levels of presence and meaning. Our conversation travels through astrology (yes, expect some moon talk!), relationship dynamics, and the permission to rewrite old patterns so we can choose healthier love, both with ourselves and others.

Inside this transformative episode, we explore:

➤ The soul’s journey through loss, grief, and rebirth

➤ Trusting your intuition and living your truth (even when it’s scary)

➤ Real talk on personal boundaries, non-negotiables, and claiming worthiness

➤ Navigating love, partnership patterns, and letting go so new growth can emerge

Whether you’re in the messy middle of a life change, questioning what truly serves you, or just need to feel seen and supported—this conversation will meet you right where you are. Natalia’s honesty, wisdom, and spiritual insight make this a must-listen for anyone seeking depth, healing, and a reminder that you are never alone on your journey.

So join us as we break open the myths of “having it all figured out,” talk the power of saying YES to your soul, and find the freedom that comes from living with radical truth.

Today on Can’t Be Contained, I am beyond thrilled to welcome the legendary Paul Chek! Paul is the founder of the CHEK Institute, a pioneer in holistic health, a walking encyclopedia of esoteric wisdom, and a true embodiment of living freely, mind, body, and spirit. In this episode, we dive deep into what it actually means to live an integrated, purpose-driven life, spirit gym included!

Paul unpacks his wild and winding journey from dropping out of school in the ninth grade to leading the US Army boxing team, to building a transformative, global institution with over 63,000 students. We talk everything from unsuspecting small-town connections and his so-called “spiritual Disneyland” home, to the profound intersection of emotional, physical, and spiritual health.

Paul shares his unique philosophy on mind-body connection, weaving together wisdom from numerology, tarot, shamanism, and holistic psychology. He drops absolute gold on transmuting trauma, heart-centered spiritual practices, the dance between ego and soul, and why having a dream bigger than yourself is everything. We’ll also chat about his new Spirit Gym, his years working with leaders like Tony Robbins, and how to avoid the pitfalls of average living.

Within Paul’s infinite wisdom, you’ll hear:

➤ How to alchemize pain and trauma into power

➤ The role of breathwork, movement, and spiritual discipline in healing

➤ Mindset tools for dissolving self-doubt, perfectionism, and “watchdogs” within

➤ What it really takes to lead a world-changing movement, and why spiritual courage is non-negotiable

➤ The dangers of staying average, and the art of choosing levity, growth, and light

If you’re ready to explore the heart-led path of true holistic wellness, personal sovereignty, and unleashing your limitless potential—this episode delivers. Whether you’re a seeker, a leader, or simply ready to break out of the constraints holding you back, Paul’s no-BS approach to soul, science, and success absolutely can’t be contained.

Join us for a conversation that will ignite your spirit, challenge your limits, and get you thinking bigger—about yourself, your dreams, and the world around you.

Today on Can’t Be Contained, host Sam Skelly invites you to drop into the wild and unscripted—no plan, no script, just pure, channelled wisdom. In this solo episode, Sam goes full improv mode, trusting the magic in uncertainty and the power of being present. If you love those deep, real talk downloads that only come when you surrender to the moment, this episode is for you!

Sam shares how allowing white space in your life isn’t just liberating, it’s where the true alchemy happens. She recalls the transformational event “Untangled,” created without a single slide or script, and the pure magic that emerged when she simply showed up and trusted the arising. Sam explores why our addiction to certainty suffocates creativity—and how you can invite more play, flow, and authentic creation into your own world.

We go deep on:

➤ Letting go of old stories, identities, relationships, and material stuff that no longer fit

➤ Building an unshakeable trust that you are always supported (yes, even when the plan falls apart)

➤ Rewriting your scarcity narrative around money, self-worth, and success

➤ The transformative power of pausing, breathwork, and embracing uncertainty

➤ How to renegotiate and energize relationships so you stop overgiving and attract equal partnerships

Plus, Sam gives the inside scoop on the upcoming Women and Wealth event in San Diego—a gathering designed to help you heal, awaken, and step into your highest, most magnetic self. This is your open invitation to dance with life, trust the pauses, and lean into the mystery.

Whether you’re navigating business, change, or just craving deeper soul alignment, Sam’s insights will encourage you to stop clinging to the familiar and start collaborating with life itself.

Tune in for an episode that’s all heart, all truth, and all you—because the most potent magic can’t be contained.
