ILA Radio explores how we come to know through the soul, mind, body, and spirit.
Hosted by Laura Alyn, founder of the ILA Institute, each episode invites a guest to reflect on how they experience truth, connection, and growth across these four dimensions.
ILA Radio isn’t about right answers. It’s about knowing yourself in more dimensions.
45. TRUSTING THE PATTERNS: SAMANTHA MANDELL ON INTUITION, PODCASTING, AND HEALING
What if healing isn’t a single turning point—but a slow returning to yourself, moment by moment, breath by breath?
In this deeply intimate episode of ILA Radio, host Laura Alyn sits down with Samantha Mandel—producer, creator, and co-host of Skirts Up—to explore how illness, intuition, and creativity reshaped her sense of identity.
Samantha shares how functional seizures disrupted her life, how silence became its own teacher, and how the process of making a podcast with her best friend became a portal: a way to speak her truth, reclaim her agency, and meet herself anew.
