Liana Shanti Truths
Former Student

Dana Chalamet

How did years of calling Liana’s work “life-changing” end with a $30 price increase, a severed relationship—and Dana joining the people she once called “evil”?

The history behind the reversal

For years, Dana did not merely praise Liana’s work—she called it life-changing, said Liana’s voice felt like “medicine,” and fiercely defended her against the people trying to discredit her. Then came a disagreement over Illuminations increasing from $20 to $50.

After Dana said the price change felt like “losing a best friend,” Liana ended the customer relationship. What followed was not simply a former customer moving on. It was a striking reversal: Dana later aligned herself with the same kind of attackers she had once called “evil,” “sick,” and “pathetic.”

Stage 01

Years of gratitude

  • Dana wrote to Liana across years about Illuminations, Candida, Lifepath, Mother Wound, meditations, prayers, health information, and other teachings.
  • She repeatedly described herself as grateful, called Liana’s work a “MASTERCLASS,” said Liana’s voice felt like “medicine,” and wrote that she could not imagine life without Liana’s teachings.
  • She publicly defended Liana against people trying to “discredit” her and praised her for standing firm.
Stage 02

Access beyond a purchase

  • Liana answered Dana’s questions directly and interacted with her well beyond the material Dana purchased.
  • Dana and her wife, Stacey Aaronson, were both members of Liana’s community.
  • When Stacey needed professional work, Liana made a referral. Stacey thanked her for being “so kind and generous.”
Stage 03

Two disagreements

  • Dana repeatedly asked Liana to place warnings before images involving animal cruelty. Dana later retracted the phrase “subjected, without my permission,” acknowledged that it was Liana’s account, and apologized.
  • Liana gave Dana a lengthy response explaining why she would continue posting the material and said she understood if Dana needed to unfollow.
  • Later, when Illuminations moved from $20 to $50, Dana questioned why the former price had not continued indefinitely and said she felt as though she had “lost a best friend.”
Stage 04

The boundary and what followed

  • Liana replied that anyone who did not see $50 in value in her work was not someone she wanted as a listener.
  • After the exchange, Liana removed Dana from Liana Life and ended the customer relationship.
  • In her later Substack account, Liana said Dana subsequently followed an account associated with the person Liana identifies as her abuser and made hostile comments about Liana—after years of messages showing praise, trust, support, and defense.
  • One community member’s blunt public response to Dana’s “lost a best friend” claim closes this record. Read it in full at the end of the page.

Here is the documented sequence in Dana’s and Liana’s own words.

Chapter 01 · Years of gratitude

Her words were unequivocal

Dana’s messages do not show a brief or distant encounter. They show years of repeated engagement with Liana’s programs, prayers, meditations, health guidance, public posts, and Illuminations.

Across that record, Dana described Liana’s work as empowering, life-altering, soothing, spiritually important, and invaluable.

“I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Illuminations”

Dana repeatedly wrote after listening—often saying she planned to listen again.

Support when Liana was under attack

Before the relationship ended, Dana rejected efforts to discredit Liana and praised her for speaking what Dana called truth.

Programs, health, prayer, and everyday guidance

These messages show the breadth and frequency of Dana’s engagement across Liana’s work.

Chapter 02 · Beyond the purchase

The relationship included personal attention and practical help

Liana’s later account says she answered many of Dana’s questions personally without charging for her time. The surviving messages show that Dana and Stacey both had access to Liana’s community.

When Stacey was seeking professional work, Liana referred her to someone who needed creative and editing support. That referral appears in the Substack record but was not in Dana’s Dropbox folder.

“Dana Chalamet · Stacey Aaronson.”

“Thank you for being so kind and generous.”

Chapter 03 · Dana’s own reflections

She had already named anger, stubbornness, and resistance in her own life

In September 2023, Dana described an incident she connected to anger, ego, and not mastering her energy. In the same exchange, she wrote about a 38-year friendship she had known for a long time was no longer aligned—but continued holding onto because of their history.

This sequence is included as context for what Dana herself said before her later rupture with Liana. It does not require the broader psychological teaching from the Substack article to be understood.

Chapter 04 · The Instagram conversation

Dana asked Liana to change how she posted animal-cruelty content

Dana said images of animal suffering affected her profoundly and repeatedly asked Liana to provide warnings. At one point she wrote that she had been “subjected, without my permission” to the material.

Dana then retracted that phrase, acknowledged that it was Liana’s Instagram account, and apologized. Liana responded at length: she said she understood Dana’s reaction, explained why she would continue sharing the material, and said she understood if Dana chose to unfollow.

Chapter 05 · The pricing exchange and boundary

“Just very sad as I’m feeling I lost a best friend.”

Illuminations had been offered for years at $20. When it moved into Liana’s new app and the price became $50, Dana asked why the original price had not continued indefinitely and said she did not value the added community features enough to justify the increase.

There was nothing unusual about declining a new price. The turning point in the exchange was relational: Dana described the loss of the former subscription as feeling like the loss of a best friend. Liana answered that Dana was not someone she wanted as a listener and then removed her from the community.

What the screenshot record establishes

Before the boundary: years of direct praise, gratitude, questions, program use, public defense, and repeated statements that Liana’s guidance was central to Dana’s life.

At the boundary: a dispute about a price change, Dana’s statement that she felt she had lost a best friend, Liana’s decision to end the customer relationship, and the administrative removal from Liana Life.

After the boundary: Liana later wrote that Dana aligned with people attacking her. That later conduct is identified here as Liana’s account; the displayed message record establishes the history leading up to the break and the break itself.

Chapter 06 · The reversal

From calling Liana’s attackers “evil” to joining them

Before the boundary, Dana’s language about people attacking Liana was unequivocal. She called them “sick,” “evil,” “pathetic,” “deluded,” and “lunatic.” She wrote that efforts to “discredit” Liana would not work and praised Liana for standing firm.

Liana’s later account says that after the pricing exchange and removal, Dana followed an account associated with the person Liana identifies as her abuser and began making hostile comments about Liana. The contrast is the point documented here: Dana’s own earlier messages show how fully she had defended Liana and condemned the same kind of attacks before their relationship ended.

Before

Defense in Dana’s own words

The screenshots above record Dana describing Liana’s critics as dark, sick, pathetic, deluded, and irrational—and insisting that attempts to discredit Liana would fail.

After

The later conduct Liana describes

Liana says Dana then followed an account associated with the accused abuser and made hostile comments about her. That claim is attributed to Liana here; it is not presented as a conclusion supplied by the earlier screenshots.

Chapter 07 · Community response

“You chose $30 instead of your supposedly best friend.”

Carla Romanato responded publicly to Dana’s statement that the Illuminations price change felt like “losing a best friend.” Her response is included as a community reaction—not as Liana’s words and not as independent evidence about Dana’s later conduct.
