We recently had the chance to connect with Alejandro Salomone and have shared our conversation below.
Alejandro, really appreciate you sharing your stories and insights with us. The world would have so much more understanding and empathy if we all were a bit more open about our stories and how they have helped shaped our journey and worldview. Let’s jump in with a fun one: What are you being called to do now, that you may have been afraid of before?
What I’m being called to do now more boldly and unapologetically than ever is to fully step into visibility as a spiritual leader, guide, and voice for healing. For a long time, I felt a subtle fear around being truly seen in my depth especially in the realms of spirituality, indigenous wisdom, plant medicine, and emotional vulnerability. There was a part of me that wanted to protect that sacred space and another part that feared judgment or misunderstanding.
But now, I feel a clear calling to lead from the front. To speak more publicly, to host larger gatherings and retreats, and to share my message in a way that reaches more people—especially those in need of deep transformation and reconnection. I’m no longer hiding behind the fear of “too muchness” or not fitting into traditional systems. I’m being called to own all of it—my voice, my vision, my lineage, and the mission that’s been placed on my heart.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Alejandro, and I’m the founder of Bravery Living LLC, a coaching and transformational education brand devoted to helping individuals break cycles, heal the nervous system, and reconnect with their true inner power. Through breathwork, embodiment, emotional mastery, and spiritual integration, I support people in remembering who they are beneath the conditioning, the trauma, and the noise of the world.
What makes my work unique is that it blends science and spirit, mindset and mysticism, healing and action. My path has led me to study with Indigenous tribes in the Amazon, and I’m actively involved in reforestation and cultural-preservation initiatives—work that continues to shape my values and approach. I believe transformation isn’t just personal; it’s collective. When we heal ourselves, we naturally help heal our communities and the Earth.
Today, I offer 1:1 coaching, group experiences, and speaking events that help people cultivate courage, emotional freedom, and a life rooted in clarity, alignment, and purpose. My mission is simple: to awaken the leader, healer, and creator that lives within each of us, and to support humanity in building a more conscious and compassionate world.
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
There was a period in my life when, on the outside, I looked “put together,” but inside, I was at war with myself. I didn’t realize how much of my identity had been built on proving, performing, and trying to be what I thought others wanted me to be. The voice in my head told me I wasn’t enough, and I carried an invisible pressure to earn love, worthiness, and significance through achievement and image.
That illusion eventually collapsed. I hit a point where the life I had built no longer felt like me—and the weight of pretending became heavier than the fear of being seen. In that unraveling, I was forced to face a truth that changed everything: the real prison was never the world’s expectations, it was my own self-judgment.
When I stripped away the titles, the roles, the masks, and the identities I clung to, I met myself for the first time—not the version I had performed, but the one I had abandoned. That moment reshaped my worldview. I realized that real freedom doesn’t come from becoming someone—it comes from remembering who you already are.
Today, my work is rooted in that truth: when we heal the beliefs that distort our worth, we stop living in survival and start living in alignment, purpose, and self-honoring truth.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering taught me what success never could: how to see clearly.
Success can feed the ego, but suffering humbles it. Success can add to your life, but suffering strips away everything that isn’t real. In my most challenging moments, when identity, control, and certainty all fell apart, I was forced to face the parts of myself I had been running from. It was suffering that revealed the truth: peace doesn’t come from what you achieve — it comes from what you surrender.
Suffering taught me presence. It taught me compassion. It taught me how to sit with pain instead of escaping it, and how to listen beneath the noise of the mind. It showed me that breaking is not the end — it’s often the beginning. When everything I clung to dissolved, I discovered a deeper intelligence holding me, guiding me, and shaping me into who I was meant to become.
Success can inspire the mind, but suffering initiates the soul. It is the discomfort, not the moment of applause, that expands our capacity to love, to serve, and to awaken.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. What’s a belief or project you’re committed to, no matter how long it takes?
I am committed to creating self-sustained, eco-friendly retreat spaces around the world that serve as hubs for healing, community, and cultural remembrance. I envision regenerative sanctuaries built in harmony with the land—spaces that honor Indigenous wisdom, protect the Earth, and reconnect people to nature, to each other, and to themselves.
This is a lifelong mission for me. I’ve been deeply influenced by my time with Indigenous tribes in the Amazon, witnessing firsthand what it means to live in reciprocity with the Earth. Their stewardship, their reverence, and their understanding of community reshaped my definition of “sustainability.” It’s not just about solar panels or clean water systems—it’s about relationship, responsibility, and remembering that we belong to the land, not the other way around.
These future retreat centers will be self-sustaining ecosystems—growing their own food, regenerating soil, conserving water, running on clean energy, and serving as gathering places for retreats, education, ceremony, and conscious leadership. They will be places where healing isn’t just personal, but communal and environmental.
Whether it takes ten years or fifty, I’m committed to this vision. Because I believe that healing the world requires more than conversation—it requires land, community, and living examples of what’s possible when humanity returns to alignment with the Earth.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
If I knew I had ten years left, I would stop waiting—waiting for the perfect moment, the perfect alignment, the perfect timeline. I would stop giving energy to anything rooted in fear, self-betrayal, or hesitation. I would no longer dim my voice, negotiate my intuition, or entertain environments, relationships, or habits that pull me away from presence, purpose, and love.
Life is far too short to live on delay. I would choose more moments on the land, more conversations that matter, more “I love you’s,” more creativity, more service, and more courage. I would prioritize what is real: connection over performance, impact over image, and embodiment over expectation. I would fully live the mission in my heart—not as a future goal, but as a daily expression.
I believe our time is our most sacred currency. If ten years were all I had, I would only invest in what expands life, elevates humanity, and deepens love. Everything else—I’d release without apology.
