Episode Description

In this powerful episode of Natalie Saves the World, I sit down with David Gilbert — executive coach, author of The Alchemical Journey: The Ultimate Quest for Inner Transformation, and a guide for high performers seeking something deeper than success.

We explore how to transmute pain, fear, and self-doubt into creative power and purpose, and what it means to go beyond high performance into true transformation. David shares his own journey — from loss and burnout to spiritual alchemy — and how you can turn your own struggles into “soul gold.”

✨ The three phases of alchemy: black, white, and red — and what they reveal about your growth

🔥 How pain and discomfort are portals to purpose

💫 Why uncertainty is the path to freedom

🌹 How to integrate your masculine and feminine energies to become whole

🪶 The transformative power of breathwork and self-awareness

🎧 Listen, reflect, and discover how your greatest challenges might just be your greatest gifts.
