Navigating Change: Ayahuasca, Ego, And Adventure With Sara Roccisano

Host April DeMille interviews Sarah Roccisano, a world-traveling author, motivational speaker, and founder of Emboldened Adventures, about her shift from a 20+ year New York City corporate career (investment banking through the 2008 crisis, renewable energy, government work, $30B in transactions, and three layoffs including a two-and-a-half-year unemployment period) to a transformation-driven life after hitting a “brick wall” in 2022. Sarah previews her three-part true-story book series covering 2019–2026, beginning with “Stone Temple Passport: Awake and Radiate with Mama Ayahuasca,” and explains ayahuasca, its indigenous ceremonial context, and the role of shamans and integration. They discuss intuition vs anxiety, ego’s role and reciprocity, sovereignty amid societal shifts, daily nature-based rituals, outgrowing “not enough,” and shedding her former identity.Sara Roccisano is a world-traveling author, international speaker, a wayshower, and the founder of Embolden AdventuresTM LLC.
