The Ananda Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

We’re so excited to be back! There’s a lot to catch up on...

In this first episode back, Sammi and Dylan sit down for an honest conversation about the real journey behind creating Ananda Elixirs, and the moments that shifted the direction of their business and lives.

They open up about the emotional side of entrepreneurship — the pressure, the uncertainty, the tough decisions, and what it’s like building a company while navigating family, finances, and mindset shifts in real time. From nearly losing everything to redefining what success actually means, this episode is a raw look at resilience, perspective, and learning to let go of control and making space before the New Year.

This conversation is for anyone who’s building something meaningful, questioning their next move, or trying to create a life they don’t just endure, but genuinely enjoy.

Join us on the journey to finding your bliss. ✨

In this episode, Dylan and Sammi sit down with Ian Blessing, co-founder of All The Bitter, a non-alcoholic bitters company making serious waves in the NA beverage world. Ian shares the real, unfiltered story of how he and his wife Carly started their brand — from Googling "how to make bitters" in their kitchen to now being stocked in over 100 Total Wine stores and opening their own tasting room.

We talk about the messy, imperfect path of entrepreneurship, the power of relentless connection over big ad budgets, why trusting your gut is your best business strategy, and why you don't need a fancy degree (or millions of dollars) to start something incredible.

If you've ever felt like you had to "have it all figured out" before starting your dream — this episode will change your mind. Full of honest stories, practical advice, and plenty of laughs, it's a must-listen for anyone building a brand from the ground up.

After almost a year, the podcast is back! With a new name, a new vibe, an new mission, because hey, it's good to re-invent yourself when you've grown and changed. And that really what we've been so busy doing! In this Episode Sammi will share more about the shifts and changes and new beginnings that last year has brought and some of those stand out life lessons along the way! We're happy to be back, let's Grow! 

Money wants to flow to those who grow it, expand it, impact more people and help the planet. There is an illusion of money giving us security and safety when oftentimes we sabotage our true beings for this illusion. Tap into your true self and be free to align with your being which is always abundant.
