Ep4: The Death & Rebirth of Self: Finding Authenticity Through Transformation

Written By Aimee Ames

In my very first interview on There She Is, I share an intimate and inspiring conversation with Sarah Knapik, a mother, spiritual coach, and Bufo priestess stewarding Oakland’s first 5-MeO-DMT church. Sarah vulnerably shares her powerful story of how walking away from a picture-perfect life led her home to her own divine love. 

In this episode we dive into:

  • How Sarah’s spiritual awakening began with a nervous breakdown that led to her greatest breakthrough

  • The journey of shedding old identities to step into true authenticity

  • The freedom of embracing the truth of “both/and”

  • How Bufo (5-MeO-DMT) became a pivotal tool for her healing and transformation

  • The role of psychedelics in reprogramming the subconscious mind and healing deep-seated wounds

  • The power of integration and how true embodiment is more than just a single experience

  • The invaluable gift of community and in one’s healing journey

Wherever you are on your journey back to your unique and magical Divine Self, I hope our conversation inspires and supports you. 

💫 Sarah is now accepting applications for her Devotion Program: The Path to Peace - a six-month immersive journey that combines deep inner healing, embodiment work, and a Bufo retreat to help women reclaim their power, connect with their higher self, and step into their soul’s purpose.
