Detaching From the External with Samantha Dreiling
About this episode
Samantha is an entrepreneur, wife, and mother of 2, and co-founder of Ananda Elixirs, a wellness brand that delivers functional mushrooms in a delicious elixir that tastes like your favorite childhood soda. She is also the author of I, Dea: Awaken Your Inner Goddess.
In this episode we talk about what it really looks like to follow your bliss after everything falls apart. Samantha shares about nearly dying in childbirth, losing her father, watching a long time business and their investments collapse, and how that dark chapter led to the birth of Ananda Elixirs and a completely new season of life.
We also explore
• How business has always been a form of creativity and art for her
• The origin story and mission behind Ananda Elixirs
• What functional mushrooms can support in the brain, body, and nervous system
• Motherhood, money, and raising kids who see entrepreneurship up close
• Letting go of external definitions of success and choosing trust, play, and pleasure
Samantha and I talk about how expanding her own capacity has meant holding life more lightly, pivoting when doors close, and allowing herself to enjoy life again.
