The Sacred Savage: Faith, Fire & the Freedom to Feel Everything

—with Sean Whalen, founder of Lions Not Sheep

What happens when power stops being loud… and starts being honest?

In this raw, unfiltered episode of Her Reign, Her Rules, Lo Mack sits down with Sean Whalen for a conversation that goes far beyond business, branding, or bravado. This is a deep dive into the internal wars we fight— the ones between control and surrender, chaos and peace, faith and fire.

Together, they unpack what it really means to be both sacred and savage:

•The difference between raw truth and performative authenticity

•How past relationships and trauma wire our nervous systems for conflict

•Why peace can feel more threatening than chaos

•What loving again looks like after the war

•How faith evolves when you’ve already built everything you once prayed for

This isn’t a polished interview, it’s a BIG conversation. Sharp. Playful. Psychological. A little dangerous. With moments of humor, tension, and honesty.

If you’ve ever felt too intense, too honest, too driven or caught between who you had to be to survive and who you’re becoming now— this episode is for you.

Because real power isn’t about domination.

It’s about regulation.

And freedom starts when you stop fighting battles you’ve already won.

• The unraveling that wakes you up

• The “Pivot Season” between who you were and who you’re becoming

• Why peace doesn’t come after success—it comes after surrender

• The Soft or Savage Game: Calling out faux-healing, fake accountability, and the audacity of people who miss the “old you”

🎙️ Listen now—The Map & The Mirror: Finding Purpose After The Fall

EP 003 - with Ania Schietzelt IS LIVE!

We’re calling out the chase, the settle, and the savage truths behind both while breaking down modern love, real communication, and the messy-beautiful balance of staying true to yourself while showing up for someone else.

From “how to communicate when life gets busy” to decoding red & green flags, to our Soft or Savage takes on love, lust, and grown-up boundaries—this one’s got all the tea and the truth bombs.

Because we don’t chase, we communicate, calibrate, and keep our crowns on straight.

What happens when a relationship realist meets a business growth strategist?

Magic. Strategy. And a mic-drop masterclass in becoming the kind of person who scales their business and their self-worth—without burning out or backing down.

In this episode, I sit down with Dan Sachkowsky to talk about how personal branding is way more than logos. We’re diving into the messy middle of scaling your business, stepping into CEO energy, navigating partner pushback (“You work too much…” sound familiar?), and reclaiming your crown in every area of your life.

• How your personal identity affects your ability to grow your brand

• Scaling your business without scaling your burnout

• Why nervous system regulation is your new strategy

• The real meaning of CEO energy—how to embody it in your business, boundaries, and becoming

• Why building a business is the ultimate self-growth journey (and your brand is just the mirror)

Life will throw curveballs—breakups, breakdowns, and cosmic-level chaos… but queens don’t shatter. They reroute, rebuild, and somehow look good doing it.

In this episode, Lo and her guest, Justine, get real (and hilarious) about the messy middle of life’s plot twists. From crying into cute throw pillows to glow-up lessons learned the hard way, they share how to stay soft without losing your strength, why detours are divine redirections, and how to turn a dumpster fire into your comeback.
