On the Live The Width of Your Life podcast, we explore what it means to not only live the length of our life but instead the breadth, depth, and purpose of each day.

She shares her personal story of creating balance in her life by aligning her daily choices to life values, strategies to redefine success, and creating space for a bit of magic and synchronicity.

It's never too late to change! We don't need to have it all figured out to begin; we can take action daily, show up imperfectly, and be amazed and inspired by how beautiful life can be.

Transformation often begins with a whisper—a subtle nudge from within that calls us to slow down, listen, and remember who we truly are. For high-achieving professionals caught in the endless cycle of doing, this whisper often gets drowned out by deadlines, expectations, and the relentless pursuit of more. In today's episode, I have the absolute joy of speaking with the luminous Siri Baruc Thornton, a Reiki Master of Masters, Akashic Records teacher, transformational breathwork facilitator, and founder of Sage + Blush Wellness.

With over 26 years of experience, Siri is a gifted space holder who guides women, creatives, and soul-led leaders in deepening their spiritual gifts and reconnecting with their truth. Her retreats, certifications, and podcast The Authentic Creative have reached hearts across the globe—and her energy is as grounding as it is expansive.

In our conversation, Siri shares:

The power of Reiki as a vibrational and energetic healing tool
How breathwork becomes a conduit for deep emotional release and reconnection
Why retreats are sacred portals for transformation
What it means to hold space for others while honoring your own growth
Her journey from childhood in a yoga ashram to Hollywood to leading spiritual retreats

Siri also speaks beautifully about creating "a blanket of love" through intentional healing, and the magic that unfolds when women gather in nature to set down their roles and reconnect with their souls.

If you've ever felt the pull to explore energy work, deepen your healing gifts, or simply receive nurturing support—you'll want to listen in.
