About this listen

Short episodes with grounded wisdom for healing, growth, and reconnecting to your true self.


Roots of the Rise is for the spiritually curious soul who’s already begun their inner work — but still feels like something deeper is calling. Maybe you’ve read the books, tried therapy, or dabbled in meditation, yet the same patterns keep circling back. You know there’s more to life than constant self-improvement, but you’re not sure how to live from that deeper truth you keep glimpsing.


Hosted by Sarah Hope — Ayurvedic health practitioner, spiritual mentor, meditation teacher, biodynamic craniosacral therapist, and energy healer — this podcast offers grounded wisdom for authentic alignment and the courage to rise into your truest self. Drawing from thousands of hours of client work, group facilitation, and her own journey through childhood trauma, grief, and the profound rediscovery of love and joy, Sarah offers a grounded, heart-led space for inner transformation.


Each short episode (10–20 minutes) offers honest reflections, spiritual insight, and simple practices to help you bridge the gap between knowing about growth and actually living it. You’ll leave feeling more centered, hopeful, and self-trusting — reminded that the path isn’t about striving to become someone new, but remembering who you’ve always been.

    Re- Release: Episode 22 - Communicate Without Conflict: Non Violent Communication Basics for Everyday Life
    Apr 20 2026

    This week’s episode is a re-release from the early days of the podcast—and one that feels especially relevant right now.

    After the recent passing of my grandfather, I’m giving myself the space to grieve and be with family. And with so many new listeners joining lately, this felt like the perfect time to bring this foundational conversation back front and center.

    In this episode, we explore the basics of Nonviolent Communication (NVC)—a powerful framework developed by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg to help us communicate with more clarity, compassion, and connection.

    If you’ve ever:

    • Felt misunderstood in conflict
    • Struggled to express what you’re really feeling or needing
    • Reacted in ways that didn’t reflect your true intentions
    • Wanted a more grounded, effective way to communicate

    …this episode will give you a practical starting point.

    You’ll learn the four core components of Nonviolent Communication:

    • How to observe without judgment
    • How to identify and express your feelings
    • How to connect those feelings to your underlying needs
    • How to make clear, actionable requests (not demands)

    This work is deeply connected to themes I’ve been teaching recently in my chakra retreat and gratitude classes, because at its core, NVC is about creating authentic connection—with yourself and with others.

    Bonus: I’ve added extra resources over on Patreon, including a feelings and needs list to help you start practicing this framework in your everyday life.

    If you’re ready to communicate more honestly, reduce conflict, and build stronger relationships, keep listening to learn why this framework is so powerful.

    137.Thought Bubbles: Ideas to Reflect On About Ourselves and Others

  • 135. When Manifestation Doesn’t Work: Stop Self-Blame & Align Your Energy

    135. When Manifestation Doesn’t Work: Stop Self-Blame & Align Your Energy
    Mar 30 2026

    Have you been trying to manifest your dream life — a new job, financial freedom, or the perfect relationship — and feel like it’s just not working? In this episode of Roots of the Rise, I explore why manifestation sometimes fails, why self-blame and spiritual bypassing can sneak in, and how to realign your energy without judgment.

    Listen to a personal story about my own manifestation journey, where intentions didn’t unfold as I expected, and hear reflections on old patterns, alignment, and self-compassion. You’ll learn how to recognize the traps of over-crediting mindset, under-crediting circumstance, and survivor bias — and why manifestation is more than just thinking positively.

    This episode is for anyone struggling with the law of attraction, feeling stuck in their manifestation journey, or wanting to approach spiritual growth with honesty and compassion. You’ll leave with practical insights and a new perspective on how to listen to the energy behind your desires — and how to act from a place of alignment, not force.
