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.

In this episode, Sammi dives deep into the transformative journey from 3D to 5D consciousness. We explore the idea that Earth is splitting into two timelines—one rooted in the familiar chaos and division, and another blossoming into a harmonious utopia where humanity, nature, and the cosmos exist in perfect alignment.

Imagine an Earth woven with harmony, where countries, communities, and ecosystems thrive together, co-creating a reality based on love, unity, and higher awareness. Sammi unpacks what it means to shift into this elevated state of being, how to recognize the signs within and around you, and the practical steps we can all take to embody 5D living.

If you've felt the call to believe in a new reality—and be an active part of its creation—this conversation will inspire, awaken, and empower you.

This episode features a heartfelt and insightful conversation between host Samantha Dreiling and guest Samantha Piercynski, a clinical therapist with over 25 years of experience specializing in trauma, grief, and narcissistic abuse recovery. The discussion focuses on understanding the complexities of grief, which can be more than just the loss of a loved one, encompassing life transitions like moving, career changes, or relationship endings.

Key Points:

• Grief isn't limited to death; it includes any significant change, and the healing journey is nonlinear.
• The five stages of grief—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—are more like fluctuating emotions rather than a sequence.
• Healing from grief involves talking openly, finding supportive people, and using practices like movement and somatic therapies to process emotions.
• Samantha shares insights on dealing with narcissistic relationships, highlighting the patterns of love bombing, devaluation, and hoovering, while emphasizing the importance of self-love and strong boundaries.
