In this episode, host Hannah sits down with Dana Shalit—entrepreneur, impact consultant, philanthropist, and founder of House of Impact. Dana shares her powerful journey from running a fast-paced event production company in Toronto to moving to the jungles of Costa Rica and stepping into her authentic purpose.

Dana dives deep into how past life regression therapy (PLRT) expanded her self-awareness, why "selfishness" is a critical step on the path to healing, and the core framework behind her upcoming book, Pathways to Self: The Path to Purpose through the Nine Steps of Self-Realization.

🔑 Key Takeaways

• Connecting the Dots Backward: How your underlying purpose is often present long before you can consciously name or see it.
• Understanding Past Life Regression Therapy (PLRT): Debunking the myths around PLRT, the difference between reliving vs. reviewing past experiences, and how accessing the subconscious creates profound emotional relief.
• Small T vs. Big T Trauma: Why minor "falls from grace" early in life can shape our subconscious patterns just as deeply as major life events.
• Reframing "Selfishness": Reclaiming the word to protect your capacity, set healthy boundaries, and prepare yourself for life's hard seasons and grief.
• Building Micro-Habits with Joy: Why long-term self-discipline relies on finding consistency in small daily routines that bring genuine joy rather than rigid obligations.
• The 9 Steps of Self-Realization: An overview of Dana’s transformative roadmap—from initial self-awareness to ultimate self-confidence and unapologetic self-love.
