The Modern Sage Podcast
The Modern Sage Podcast offers no-nonsense sage advice to support your spiritual and emotional health. Beginning Season 4, Ep 1, Leah shares her personal story of living in a spirited, (haunted) house, and the deep transformation she underwent as a result of surrendering to the invitation to trust the darkness. She shares these stories as inspiration so the listener can relate to their own stories and inner darkness, and learn how to heal the ghosts of the past.
In the first 3 seasons, Leah interviews experts, authors, healers, musicians, entrepreneurs, celebrities and everyday heroes who know life's struggles, and sharing ways they've learned to be inspired and heal. The focus is on emotional healing and mental health with a good dose of secular spiritualism mixed in.
This series is hosted by author and intuitive spiritual teacher Leah Guy. Her aim is to make visible the reality of hope, to welcome change and transformation while acknowledging our humanity so that we can grow into whole, happy and satisfied people.

The Cure for Addiction
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Whatever the addiction, it has a similar root - pain.
And, the way through addiction, to the other side of recovery, is similar for all addictions.
Leah talks about emotional addiction, physical addiction, and substance addiction and more. The behavior that's driving addiction is coming from a place of trauma, pain, and repressed emotion.
Addiction is a symptom, a protective mechanism, against the pain that creates addictive behavior.
Leah speaks about the conversation between Andrew Huberman and Terry Real about the cure of addiction: connection and intimacy.
When we are disconnected, we feel isolation, loneliness, and separation which fuels the need to hide, quiet yourself, and seek alternate states or behaviors that fill a void.
What is intimacy? What is connection? Listen and find out!
