✨ Learn Integral Alchemy: Integral Alchemy Starter Kit

Welcome back to Recovery Unleashed — the space where healing, high performance, and purpose collide.

In this episode, I sit down with Amanda Baker — a licensed clinical social worker, yoga psychology practitioner, poet, and one of the most soulful voices I’ve met in the therapy space. Amanda blends somatic body-based practices with traditional therapy and yoga psychology to help people break free from cycles of trauma, burnout, and overachieving

Amanda is a licensed clinical social worker and 500-hour yoga psychology teacher based in Maryland, USA. She integrates therapy, yoga, and somatics in her community Alchemize, supporting people to reclaim their authenticity and step out of the loop of survival patterns..

Together, we dive into:

⭐ The trauma behind overachievement — why so many high performers are actually running on old wounds.

⭐ How burnout isn’t about doing too much, but about doing it for the wrong reasons.

⭐ Why therapy can sometimes reinforce performance and perfectionism — and how somatics can change that.

⭐ The role of the nervous system in driving patterns of striving, productivity, and survival.

⭐ The addiction of achievement — and how to shift into purpose-driven energy that fuels rather than drains you.

⭐ Our shared belief that healing isn’t about hierarchy — it’s about creating safety, regulation, and trust so people can access their own wisdom.

This conversation is raw, funny, deeply human, and full of truth. If you’ve ever felt trapped in the cycle of striving, performing, and burning out — this one is for you. I have had so much fun with Amanda, we’re now diving deeper into work together so you can be sure there will be a follow up podcast from this. (Make sure you subscribe)

If you’re an overachiever running on empty, this episode will change the way you see yourself.

Episode Overview

What happens when your purpose gets so big…

you no longer need a break from your life?

In this honest, reflective, and deeply resonant conversation, Hannah sits down once again with Sophia Houridis—mind coach, remedial therapist, and one of the most soul-attuned humans walking this planet.

Recorded eight months ago, this episode captures Hannah in a pivotal moment: coming off the back of a massive personal and professional expansion, integrating what it means to live, love, and lead from a nervous system that finally feels safe in the bigness of her purpose.

Together, Hannah and Sophia explore:

Why burnout has nothing to do with how much you do—and everything to do with what you’re doing it for

The subtle shift from working to escape → working from devotion

What happens when there’s no longer a gap between your body and your mission

How to hold duality: ambition and rest, purpose and partnership, impact and inner peace

The spiritual discipline of not running away when things get good

And why "feeling safe in expansion" is a whole initiation in itself

This conversation is for the visionaries, healers, leaders, and high performers who are doing the inner work while building the thing—and refusing to abandon themselves in the process.

Scott shares his journey from chaos to clarity—growing up fast after being caught in the trauma of the Bali bombings, living through years of escapism and partying, and eventually finding purpose through movement, discipline, and a relentless commitment to helping others reclaim their bodies and lives.

Now a high-level strength coach and a core part of our Recovery Jungle team, Scott has helped countless...
