Yarixa Ferrao| Founder of Embody Architects + Unleash!

@envisionfestival this year was AMAZING! Last year was hardest year of my life and I’m so grateful that for the first time in 42 years I feel like I actually am finally truly opening to receive. I was able to fully Be. I didn’t have an agenda. I didn’t have @unleashmovement lined up. I had a friend ask me if I was going to Envision and I responded “I intend to and I’m waiting for a miracle” and a few days later she gets back to me saying “I think I got your miracle” - I was gifted a luxury stay, ViP ticket, and also Cabana and was surrounded by some of the most magical human beings on planet earth. I’m a manifesting generator, so my MO is making things happen. I’ve done a pretty good job at that. I can bring a concept into reality like creating an entire movement without any prior experience with great success. Although, this year I was simply forced into receiving, cause that’s the more challenging Unleashing for me. And so I’m doing it. Opening my heart to receive. It’s the balance of the Yin to my Yang. Thank you to everyone that has assisted my journey of setting myself free, remembering I already am. I love you. Trusting the unfolding of what’s next and the fullness of my contribution as I fill my cup this year. Outpouring without a balance in receiving is not sustainable. If you find yourself depleted, I encourage you to ask yourself how you can receive yourself more. #freedom #personaldevelopment #growth #unleash

If you are experiencing some stagnancy in your life, dissatisfaction with where you are, inability to break through negative cycles or keep repeating same mistakes over and over that you would like to put an end to and shift into how you really desire to live your life- now is the time to hit me up. One thing I am really good at is helping people breakthrough and uncover some of the most coveted and protected beliefs ( protected to keep you in same loop and story so you stay “safe”) or hidden little creepers that hold your psyche hostage and for that matter what holds you back from living your dream life. I have a way of listening for subtleties for whats really going on. It’s an art and a skill I’ve developed over the years of working with people as a transformational coach since the age of 19 that began with physical coaching for the body, that led to spiritual & mindset coaching and mentoring. This is paired with the wisdom for breaking through the scariest things and living my own personal dream life, creating an entire movement called @unleashmovement for the liberation of humanity for the sake of creating a harmonious world rooted in love. As I pause in the gestation period of the Unleash! Experience, I am so excited and delighted to help people, possibly you, once again in one on one coaching. DM me and give me some details of what you need help breaking through. This may be a session and it also may be something longer term. Either way , I can help. My sessions and packages at the moment are almost 50 % off their regular price. This is because I am rebuilding and my highest excitement is to help as many people. So take advantage as this is not forever. ❤️🙏🏽it’s a win win 🏆 #personaldevelopment #coaching #growth #breakthrough #oneononecoaching

1/11/46 - 5/8/2026 John Gorut, the Dad that raised me. A true warrior. A man with a big heart, an amazing sense of humor, the life of the party. A loyal devoted husband to my Mother, a dedicated Dad to my little brother. He had at least 28 lives, way more than a cat. A Vietnam War veteran from Barranquilla, Colombia who came to the US at the age of 15. His mother murdered at 9. Went on to become a nuclear plant engineer, had 2 previous marriages and 3 children. As militant as he was with me while growing up, he was also a protector and provider. He only wanted for me to do well and wanted the best for me. He certainly modeled what it was like to be fearless, to be confident, to take action, to value family, and to most importantly have FUN, put some music on and dance, and to turn the volume up to life…Little did he know how loud I could turn it up :) I’ve been out here with my family since I got the call over a week ago, he was in critical condition at the hospital. I saw him daily for 6 days as he was having trouble breathing due to his heart condition he has had since 30 years ago and reached a pint of only 10 % of his heart working. Survived lung cancer, diabetes, he fought so hard to be here for as long as he could- afraid to leave my little brother who is 100 % unable to care for himself alone. He was 17 full minutes flat lined his last cardiac arrest, doctors gave up, and somehow came back into his body once they had given up. And somehow did not have bleeding in his brain. He was intubated, and only way of communicating was nodding his head. What was sweet at least is that my immediate family, one of his older sons and wife, came together to support every step of the way. We were all there surrounding him as he took his last breaths. He will be 100% missed and remembered. I was also able to take my family today through a breathwork that allowed for emotions to be released and more peace in their bodies. This has united us in ways that I could not have predicted and have my fam try new things. This will take some time for me to process. His burial will be next week Thursday May 21, so he can truly rest. Love you Johnny. (Dad) ❤️

I have a premonition that Yari’s UNLEASH! at REVEL is going to bring the house down. Friday eve. Sunset. I see sweat. I see wild smiles. I see bodies shaking. I see limiting beliefs evaporating.

ENTER: @coachyari and her @unleashmovement UNLEASH! x Dance Meets Tantra is going to be special. Come play with this one. 🔥 #dancemeetstantra #unleash #dancefestival #colorado

Darlings!

🔥IGNITE YOUR PURPOSE 🔥 In 2022, my last Big Unleash! was called “Lyfe Reinvented.”
And did life ever take that literally. 😝 Since then, I’ve moved through what felt like a thousand deaths.
Each one stripped me closer to the truest, realest, most authentic version of me. 
I once again, alchemized pain into power. I let God and guidance lead instead of fear. Then came last year—the Year of the Snake—and OMG, it tested everything! 
If you’re anything like me, you had to let go of something sacred. Something that felt impossible to release. I held on tight… until I couldn’t anymore. When I finally surrendered, everything changed. At one point, I had about $50 to my name, living full cocoon mode in an Airstream (still cute though, and honestly, part of me loved it 🩵).
That season forged me open. Through deep foundational work—God work, money work, nervous‑system work—I went from scraping by to experiencing more overflow than I’d ever imagined, in a matter of weeks. 
I became the frequency of bounteousness—open‑handed generosity that is in overflow. Fast‑forward: I now get to lead transformational work inside corporate culture (yes, corporate), restoring the foundation of leaders with my company, Embody Architects.
I have four incredible coaches on my team now, plus our new Partnerships Director starts next week and together we’re supporting 50+ leaders in expanding their capacity to lead with harmony, coherence, and love. It is an absolute dream for EVERYTHING to feel so aligned - CONGRUENT! 🐍 Every painful experience was an initiation.
Every layer you shed made space for something profound to emerge. And here we are—entering the Year of the Fire Horse 🔥—a year of movement, passion, and courageous action.
 That’s why I’m so honored to be speaking at IGNITE YOUR PURPOSE—a FREE 9‑day Purpose & Prosperity Activation starting March 30, 2026.
I’ll be live on April 1st at 1:45 PST / 4:45 EST, and trust me, you’ll want to be there for this. Register at link in bio! With fierce love, Yarixa First Pic was from this years Wellness Panel during SXSW @awkn.ranch and @coherenceretreats

Sharing a little time capsule release gem from this last eclipse season — a conversation I had with the brilliant Yarixa Ferrao about her own unleashing story throughout her life leading up to her creation of a movement. Back when we recorded in this conversation, I was really *in it* and as I was hearing her speak I felt a lot of what I was focused on wash away, and this other sense of vastness opened up, like life could be sooo much more than what I was letting it be in that moment. She was unleashing me 🧞‍♀️ I left the conversation inspired to let go into something bigger. Her transmission has a magical quality and touched a spark in me that continued to ripple and grow larger since we spoke. For my astrology people who love the fixed signs riffs around here, Yarixa is a Scorpio Sun / Leo Moon / Aquarius rising and you will feel her embodiment of profound creative freedom that comes from meeting herself and her desire so intimately and making art with it all. Listen where you tune into podcasts and share your thoughts in the comments. ✨

A LEGENDARY Halloween. Like BEST ever party in all my life of this holiday. The theme was “Ethereal Creatures” with a very curated group of friends and community of the most magical, expressed, multi talented creators, healers, facilitators imaginable. Where every conversation was quality, free of inhibition, raw, deep,real, funny AF… feeling so blessed to have this kind of community in my life… and I knew just who to call for my costume. @lilybluecouture an EPIC designer and dear friend I met in LA years ago whom has also designed pieces for my @unleashmovement outfits. I wanted to go all out this year and truly feel like myself. So ofcourse I dressed up as the “ocean floor” - it’s as deep as it goes. And also a bold statement while simultaneously alchemizing the garbage to become art, turning pain into beauty. I recall many people just looking at me at a glance and loving this piece and then I’d ask them to take a deeper look. And reactions were really thought provoking from “WOW” to “ooohhhh” So fun for me to show up as the full spectrum of beauty and pain, and the transformation that happens in between. I also got to Unleash a very vulnerable part of me that took me being leashed and being caged, the other side of what I usually demonstrate which is fierceness, boldness, rawness, rage, anger, pain , grief, sorrow, and I have so much empathy / compassion for all of that- that’s easy for me—- but pleasure on the other hand has been a much much more difficult emotion to embody - and so with the facilitation of two amazing facilitators I was able to unlock and begin to unfurl a really precious part of me… I can feel the integrity of what embodying Unleash in its wholeness is meant to be. In true Scorpionic fashion the transformation has begun. Shoutout to @move_with_ivy and @funday_kay for putting together the absolute extraordinary celebration and transformation portal of the year. ❤️❤️❤️
