What does it mean to return to yourself when life has gotten loud, heavy, and disconnected?

In this episode of Hold My Purse, Rho sits down with Susan Kacvinsky and Devon Cunningham, her partners in the upcoming The Awakening: Return to Self Retreat, for a powerful conversation about healing, truth, grief, sound healing, silence, and the journey back to yourself.

Together, they talk about what it looks like to sleepwalk through life shaped by survival mode, trauma, overgiving, and constant noise... and what it takes to wake up and come back home to who you really are.

This conversation explores:

How old stories and conditioning can keep us disconnected
Why healing happens in both the mind and the body
How sound healing can support peace, release, and nervous system regulation
Why silence and self-inquiry can reveal deeper truth
How grief, sobriety, and awakening can become part of your transformation
Why community matters when the world feels overwhelming
