305. Know You’re Here to Create Something Way Bigger Than You? Listen to this Story with Shannon Jamail, Founder of Retreat Ranch

Get ready for one of the JUICIEST conversations yet on Let's Get Weird! Sam is joined in Austin by the vibrant and brilliant naturopathic doctor and sex & intimacy coach, Dr. Jenny Buchner. They dive straight into the deep end, exploring Dr. Jenny's core philosophy: PLEASURE is your compass. This episode is a permission slip to reclaim your birthright to feel good, and to use that feeling as your guiding light for a more successful, aligned, and delicious life. From twerking as a sacred act to the power of "big p*ssy energy," this conversation is all about reconnecting to your body and your power.Sam and Dr. Jenny get vulnerable about their shared experiences with Catholic guilt, people-pleasing, and the journey of healing sexual shame. They unpack how this disconnection shows up physically (hello, hormonal issues, autoimmune disease, low libido) and how the path back to wholeness involves somatic work, breathwork, dance, and a whole lot of self-compassion. They also explore the powerful link between your sacral energy and your entrepreneurial creativity, the secrets hidden in your menstrual cycle, and why understanding your worthiness is the key to unlocking your ability to receive... in the bedroom, your bank account, and every other area of your life. If you're ready to stop living from the neck up and start living a life that feels amazing, this episode is a non-negotiable.💅 HERE’S THE DEETS 03:33 "Pleasure is the Compass": What This Guiding Philosophy Really Means04:39 Dr. Jenny on Her Journey with Catholic Guilt, Shame & Disconnection from Her Body06:42 How People-Pleasing & Lack of Pleasure Manifests in Relationships & Sex09:52 Tangible Tools for Healing Shame: Breathwork, Somatic Exercises & Dance12:05 The Physical Toll of Trauma: Autoimmune Disease & Feeling Unsafe in Your Body17:12 The Link Between Your Sacral Chakra, Creativity & Entrepreneurial Success19:48 Your Menstrual Cycle as Your Superpower: The 4 Seasons of Your Hormones💃 RESOURCES + LINKS🤠 Links Newsletter – Join 2600+ visionaries and own your magic, be seen and get paid to be youJoin the Green Room – A monthly brand building and visibility membership for the new wave of spiritual celebrities, visionaries, coaches, healers, entertainers... ready to SHED the masks, embody your FULLEST self, OWN your gifts, BE SEEN, rock the spotlight and build a MASSIVE LEGACY.

Get ready for an incredibly inspiring on-location episode as Sam sits down with the phenomenal Shannon Jamail – multi-passionate entrepreneur, therapist, mentor, best-selling author, podcast host, and the visionary founder of Retreat Ranch, a breathtaking 46-acre retreat center just outside Austin, Texas. Recorded in one of the barns at the ranch, this conversation is a deep dive into the power of trusting those micro-nudges from the universe, following your gut even when it makes zero logical sense, and how to bring those gigantic visions on your heart to life.Shannon shares the incredible journey of how Retreat Ranch came to be – from an initial vision and a property in California that didn't vibrate, to finding raw Texas land that did, and building it into a haven for connection, joy, and transformation, one step at a time (even through a pandemic!). This episode is a goldmine for anyone dreaming of creating something bigger than themselves. Sam and Shannon explore why in-person retreats are so powerful for clarity (Sam shares how a $15k retreat led to a massive vision expansion!), the importance of stepping into your "discomfort zone" for growth, and how clearing your energetic "gunk" unlocks your intuitive abilities. If you need a reminder that big dreams are built with messy first steps and unwavering trust, this one’s for you.💅 HERE’S THE DEETS 01:02 How Sam & Shannon Jamail Connected via a Mutual Friend01:39 Shannon Jamail's Initial Vision for The Retreat Ranch & 15+ Years of Hosting Retreats03:03 The California Property That Didn't Vibrate vs. The Texas Land That Did (Trusting Your Body's Yes!)05:22 Manifesting: Tie it to a Feeling, Not a Specific Image07:02 The Irreplaceable Power of In-Person Retreats for Connection & Transformation09:20 Divine Timing: How Their Cancelled Call Led to This In-Person Podcast12:03 Trusting Your Nudges: The Foundation of All Big Decisions13:01 Why Investing in Retreats (Even $15k Ones!)

Are YOU a trailblazer? A visionary, leader, coach, or healer here to create something the world has never seen? Then this episode of Let's Get Weird is your f*cking anthem. Sam dives deep into the raw, unfiltered truth about what it really means to forge your own path when there’s NO BLUEPRINT to follow. Forget 10-step formulas and looking outside yourself for answers; your unique strategy IS your energy, your excitement, and the shit that lights you up. Sam gets vulnerable, sharing how a "f*cked up" comment about her body became the catalyst for her entire entrepreneurial journey, proving that your life experiences, even the painful ones, are the curriculum for your greatest work.This episode is a masterclass in alchemizing your past, transcending victimhood, and stepping into your power as the leader you were born to be. Sam breaks down why "the thing you wish existed doesn't exist yet BECAUSE YOU ARE HERE TO CREATE IT," and why trying to follow someone else's path will always lead you astray. Plus, she drops some serious truth bombs about anxiety (it’s not what you think!), the power of listening to your soul’s nudges, and why surrounding yourself with other visionaries (hello, The Green Room!) is non-negotiable when you’re on a mission to change the game. If you're ready to stop looking for permission and start building what ONLY YOU can bring to life, hit play NOW.💅 HERE’S THE DEETS00:08 What it Means to Be a Trailblazer: Forging, Not Following02:31 "There is No F*cking Blueprint": Why Visionaries Can't Follow Formulas05:54 Your Strategy IS Your Energy & Excitement (How Sam Built a 7-Figure Brand)07:51 "The Thing You Wish Existed Doesn't Exist Yet BECAUSE YOU Are Here To Create It"08:57 Your Life Experience is Your Curriculum: Alchemize Pain into Your Greatest Gifts10:09 The "F*cked Up Comment" That Changed Sam's Life & Sparked Her Entire Journey17:08 Surrendering to Your Mission: The Soul Chooses, The Human Fights19:03 The Surprising Truth About Anxiety (It’s Often Unused Energy & Unmet Needs!)23:04 The Power Question: "What Am I Pretending Not to Know?"33:37 Trailblazer Energy IS Building What You Wish Existed (Like The Green Room!)36:13 Your Choice: Alchemize Your Soul Curriculum or Stay Stuck?💃 RESOURCES + LINKS🤠 Links Newsletter – Join 2600+ visionaries and own your magic, be seen and get paid to be youJoin the Green Room – A monthly membership for the new wave of spiritual celebrities, visionaries, coaches, healers, entertainers... ready to SHED the masks, embody your FULLEST self, OWN your gifts, BE SEEN, rock the spotlight and build a MASSIVE LEGACY.
