Revolutionary Mental Health Ep. 3: Healing After Heartbreak with Stephanie Lytle
Debbie Nelson sits down with Stephanie Lytle, founder of HighVibe Collective, in the sound healing dome of Stephanie's sanctuary property outside Sedona. Stephanie shares her journey from a mental health crisis at 23—a manic episode that led to involuntary hospitalization and a medication regimen she was told would be lifelong—to her intentional, years-long path of healing and weaning off pharmaceuticals with proper support. She recounts the devastating loss of her son during labor, a grief that nearly broke her, and how the practitioners and modalities she had already begun gathering through HighVibe became the very tools that saved her life. The conversation moves through the creation of HighVibe's private retreat space: a farm-to-table, off-grid sanctuary where guests disconnect entirely (no cell service, just stars and silence) and work one-on-one with curated healers. Stephanie describes breathwork, shamanic journeys, transformational bodywork, the wood-fired sauna, cold plunge, saltwater hot tub under the night sky, and the land itself as medicine. Whether someone is navigating divorce, burnout, loss, or simply seeking to maintain wellness before crisis hits, the space offers what Stephanie calls "the collective of all of us"—a reminder that healing is both deeply personal and held by community.
