In this episode of the Always Better Than Yesterday Podcast, Ryan Hartley sits down with author, facilitator and leadership guide Sydney Campos for a wide-ranging conversation on embodiment, healing, discernment, and the deeper meaning of ascension.

Sydney shares the lived path behind her work: a childhood shaped by trauma, anxiety, disassociation and addiction, followed by a hard-won journey through sobriety, nervous system healing, spiritual remembrance, and a growing devotion to truth. Rather than presenting awakening as something lofty or abstract, she describes it as a return to the body, a surrender of survival strategies, and a willingness to feel what was once too painful to feel alone.

Together, Ryan and Sydney explore anger, grief, reparenting, the God wound, the search for safety, and the courage it takes to stop performing and simply be. They also talk about discernment in modern spirituality, the risks of giving power away to gurus, the value of silence and nature, and why genuine transformation often looks less like escape and more like deeper embodiment.

At its heart, this episode is about remembering that who you are being is more than enough. It is an invitation to regulate, reconnect, and live from a steadier inner knowing - one that can shape relationships, leadership, business, and the way we build a more coherent world.

About "I’m Ascending, Now What?"

Sydney’s book reframes ascension as an inward journey rather than an escape "up and out." It offers an embodied path for people who are waking up, healing, and learning how to live with more authenticity, sovereignty, and connection.

The work explores nervous system repair, emotional release, reparenting, discernment, spiritual responsibility, and practical integration.

Its aim is to help people move beyond performance, survival and spiritual cosplay so they can trust themselves, feel more deeply, and create from a grounded connection to Source.

Those with ears, let them hear.

Always love,

Ryan
