Sarah
Welcome to the new experience podcast! This listening experience is designed and curated to explore what it looks and feels like to do new things. We often land in our comfort zones and forget that growth happens when we practice new experiences, face new challenges, and have interesting conversations to integrate them. My commitment is to put myself out there and do new things in the name of growth and fun, and am excited to share with you all what the new experience was like and what the takeaways were. It will be a fun listen and might even inspire you to try something new :)
We're talking again about the journey from new age spirituality into a life of following Jesus, as well as updates about our careers and life in general!
This week's guest is Paul Weishapl. Him, along with his brothers, are dear friends of mine from childhood until today. We discuss his history of violence, addiction, and time in prison, up until the past few years of sobriety, service work, and the mentors and people who helped him along his journey. It's fascinating, redemptive, and an overall very interesting conversation. There will likely be a Pt. 2 of this...enjoy!

The future integration of technology vs. returning to the natural world...it's our decision on how it unfolds. Establishing healthy boundaries with technology, building ourselves in the image of God, and intentionally creating our future are a few of the key talking points of today's episode. Enjoy!
We're back with another solo-cast discussing courage and magnanimity, and encouraging listeners to pursue that which God has placed on their hearts. Bonus excerpt from a book I'm reading called "Velvet Elvis" by Rob Bell. Enjoy!
On this episode we discuss faith and fellowship, as well as our transition from new age spirituality into following Jesus.
This episode is a life update from my husband Dylan and I.
So many new experiences, from getting a job working for the liver king at ancestral supplements, wrapping up our time in Alabama, the process of buying a home, and becoming Texan residents. Dylan is such a wise soul and its so satisfying listening to him speak.
We hope you enjoy!!

Would you agree to fly to Las Vegas, with a week's notice, to go to Aubrey Marcus' music festival Arkadia? That's what Jess did. In this episode, we chat about all our favorite parts of meow wolfs interactive art exhibit, what the festival was really like, and what inspired Jess to say YES to the invite. These types of experiences are what I live for and make my soul's cup fill up! My intention is to inspire you to say yes to more experiences in life, because you never know how profound it might be.
Thanks for your patience with me. More regular content to come :)
If you're reading this, THANK YOU! I LOVE YOU!!!!!! You are awesome!

Hi friends! In this episode, booboo (Allison) and I lean into fun new experiences that have organically come together.
As next door neighbors, we share the story of a family cold plunge, on a snowy Alabama afternoon. How the practice of cold affects creativity and mindset + the deliberate use of the cold as a tool.
Which guides us into our own individual journey creating and writing children’s books. What stage we are at in the process and how the ideas came to be.
I had a blast with this conversation and hope you enjoy too!

welcome to the new experience podcast! happy 2022!
this episode is a very special one for me. our family spent Christmas in Mexico together, to celebrate the holidays and end out the year. this episode offers all different perspectives, you hear voices of 3 year-olds to grandparents and everyone in between. we share favorite moments and messages to one another. its heartfelt and playful and real. you might need to turn the audio up or down throughout, but it's a beautiful piece of art nonetheless.
thank you for sharing your time by tuning in. thank you family for contributing. thank you for a new year of joy, love, wealth and health ahead. lots of love.
welcome to SEASON 2 of the new experience podcast! ! ! ! !
Kicking off the new season with a bang, we're joined by the lovely @alexsasavage! Have you ever thought about secretly traveling to Vegas to elope with your partner?? Alexsa shares her big + fresh life event of doing just that. She shares what led her & her partner to that decision, what feelings were felt & what the reality of getting married in Las Vegas is actually like.
In the second half of the episode, Sarah shares her new experience of micro-dosing psilocybin mushrooms. As promised in the episode, here are some fascinating thoughts on mushrooms to ponder:
"Fungi have ancient origins. The earliest known species dates back to over a billion years ago with the discovery of Ourasphaira giraldae, a fossil species uncovered by Palaeobiologist Corentin Loron."
"Growing freely in a range of climates, psilocybin has been used for over 10,000 years and possibly longer. Some evidence suggests shrooms have had us in their wavy consciousness-enhancing orbit since 10,000 B.C.E."
"Some ethnobotanists — most famously, Terence Mckenna — theorize that shrooms may have even expedited human evolution. In a nutshell, the theory claims that what enabled Homo erectus (our ancestors from approximately 1.8 million years ago) to evolve into Homo sapiens (you and me now) was the heightened consciousness achieved from encounters with mushrooms containing psychedelic compounds."

A big reason we started THE NEW EXPERIENCE was to keep us individually learning, growing, and gaining more understanding out of life. By practicing new experiences, we encourage our brain to create new neural pathways.
A simple way to keeping our brains flexible, in a hectic world, is s l o w i n g down.
This weeks episode, that’s exactly what we practiced, as our new experience was witnessing the sunrise and the sunset.
Dive in with us as we debrief this experience. We hope this sparks inspiration, creativity and joy, for you.

From wildfires closing down the canyon access, to torrential rain, our wedding experience didn't quite unfold as planned. This week we are joined by a special guest, Dylan Huerter (husband to Sarah). The three of us speak on our own take and outlook of the whole experience. Cara's first experience attending a wedding, Sarah and Dylans first time getting married. We explore the highs and lows and give a realistic and honest look at what this wedding turned out to be.
Follow along on this journey as we grow, connect and transform.
