What do ice baths, neuroscience, and ancient rituals have in common? According to Alanna Kit—everything.

In this episode of The Silly Little Girls Club, Samantha Cusick sits down with Alanna Kit, neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and founder of ARK—London’s cutting-edge wellness sanctuary that merges science, spirituality, and ritual into one transformational space.

From running psychedelic retreats to building a spa that caters to the nervous systems of bankers, Alanna’s journey is as mind-blowing as it is inspiring.

You’ll learn:

• 🧠 Why contrast therapy boosts neuroplasticity (and how it rewires your stress response)
• 💥 Why Alanna says burnout is a gift
• 🌱 How ancient rituals + neuroscience = the future of self-care
• ❄️ What really happens to your brain in an ice bath
• 💫 How to tap into peak experiences without tech or trends
• 🧬 Why she wants ARK to become a psychedelic clinical trial site

This is the episode to listen to if you're craving something deeper than your average wellness chat. Alanna's story will challenge what you think healing looks like—and give you tools to explore your own nervous system in the process.

If you’ve ever experienced burnout, disconnection, or felt like your nervous system is stuck in overdrive—this is for you.
