   How Did We Know We "Loved" Each Other? | Awakening Podcast With Brian Yang

   In this intimate episode, we get very real and vulnerable with what it really meant to know that we loved each other. It's not what you would think from a typical Hollywood or Disney fairy tales. There is plenty of trauma, plenty of fear that can oftentimes be mistaken for love. And it wasn't obvious to each of us until we really began to heal, to really see the love that was there. Follow us on this journey. You'll learn more about us and perhaps catch some lessons in the process!

   Ayahuasca, Spiritual Awakening & Healing With Shellee Ray | Awakening Podcast (Brian & Hope Yang)

   In this episode, Brian and Hope sit down with spiritual guide, Reiki Master, and plant medicine facilitator Shellee Ray, who has been supporting people in their healing and awakening journeys since 1998. Together, they dive deep into the world of plant medicine, specifically Ayahuasca, and how it serves as a catalyst for profound transformation. Shellee shares her own powerful story of sobriety, her unexpected calling to Ayahuasca, and how she overcame the fears and stigma around working with this sacred medicine. She explains the origins of the brew, the importance of safe facilitation, and how the medicine meets each person exactly where they are — sometimes with gentleness, sometimes with fierce intensity. The conversation explores: The healing potential of Ayahuasca and how it differs from other plant medicines. Why safety and trauma-informed facilitation are crucial, especially in a field full of both authentic healers and unsafe, untrained guides. Integration as at least 50% of the work — how to carry the lessons into everyday life, relationships, and community. The role of music, ritual, and safe space in opening people to deep release and transformation. Who this medicine is for — and who it may not be safe for. Brian and Hope also share their own awakenings with Ayahuasca, including healing from addiction and shifting long-held survival patterns. Together with Shellee, they highlight how plant medicine can strip away old identities, trauma imprints, and protective masks, revealing deeper freedom, connection, and authenticity. This is a raw, honest, and heart-opening conversation about the challenges, risks, and profound gifts of walking the path with Ayahuasca — and how to discern safe spaces, honor the medicine, and commit to the lifelong integration process.

   How We Went From Toxic to Secure (Spiritual Partnership) | Awakening Podcast With Brian Yang

   Brian Yang and his wife, Hope, pull back the curtain on the messy, painful beginnings of their relationship — from addiction, codependency, and toxic fights to years of therapy, plant medicine, and somatic healing. What most people (and even therapists) would have called doomed, they transformed into a secure, spiritual partnership built on vulnerability, truth, and deep inner work. In this episode, they share the raw milestones of their journey: breaking destructive cycles, facing childhood trauma, discovering nervous system work, and learning how to hold space for each other instead of trying to fix. Now, as they prepare to welcome their first child, Brian and Hope reflect on the biggest lessons that carried them from near-collapse to deeper connection, and how any couple willing to face the pain can create real intimacy.
