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.

That said, she hopes it inspires you to grow, heal and seek the support you need to thrive.

    • radical acceptance as presence, not resignation
    • the trap of fixing, teaching and rescuing
    • “let them” as a daily practice for peace
    • compassion versus enabling in close relationships
    • using boundaries to protect dignity and safety
    • relationships, health and the cost of bitterness
    • growth as invitation and silent leadership
