How to Heal from Within: Nervous System Healing and Holistic Wellness Nov 20, 2025

This week we sit down with Christine Ruch, a holistic transformation guide who’s navigated two decades of MS without pharmaceutical intervention, to explore how inner safety, emotional capacity, and co-regulation can reshape the body’s story. She pivoted from celebrated chef and restaurateur to transformation guide after a series of life changing pivots - intentional business closures, a divorce, and a year and a half in Costa Rica working closely with healers. That journey revealed that external protocols matter, but real change roots in the nervous system.
We break down MS in plain language and examine why inflammation is only part of the picture. Christine explains the nervous system as a full‑body interface—felt through fascia, sensation, and energy—rather than a thought in the head. She shares how to build safety from within, stop turning emotions into identity, and use co-regulation and limbic resonance to return to your natural baseline. The difference between change and transformation becomes clear: change is linear and reversible; transformation follows the pace of nature. Her nine-month process mirrors gestation, allowing the body to lead while the mind learns to trust.
You’ll get simple, field-tested practices: a quiet morning ritual that precedes screens, an evening pause to release the day, and five-minute micro resets for busy lives. We also talk seasons of life—why freedom and rootedness can both be true, and how to recognize when it’s time to pivot. If you’re navigating MS, chronic stress, or just the weight of modern life, this conversation offers grounded hope and practical steps to reclaim calm without perfectionism.
Christine's Book recommendation:

The Great Work of Your Life by Stephen Cope

More about Christine:

Christine Ruch holds the space for you to walk your path to more authentic health. After spending 20 years healing her own MS naturally through whole food nutrition, nervous system restoration, spiritual practice, plant medicine, deep self-inquiry and many other Eastern and Western modalities, Christine now guides others on their own transformative healing path. Her work bridges science and soul—offering tools to move beyond symptom management and into lasting inner healing. She’s here to share insight, hope, and grounded practices for listeners ready to reclaim their health from the inside out.

Finding Hormone Health After 40: Why Finding the Right Doctor Matters Nov 13, 2025

This week we are talking about a subject that impacts all women: hormone health! Danielle Stanton joined the show to share how a decade of confusion surrounding her mental and physical health turned into clarity. Through symptom tracking, better labs, and a trusted doctor, she uncovered that she wasn't depressed, her hormones were low! From there, the story widens into practical steps any woman can use: a simple 90–10 approach to food, strength training as therapy, and a sleep ritual built on magnesium, lemon balm, and consistency.
The conversation goes beyond HRT myths to the art of adjustment—why labs every six months matter, how switching from testosterone cream to injections reignited energy and muscle, and how gut health, sleep quality, and endocrine disruptors shape results. Danielle is candid about the long game: she set a five‑year horizon for weight loss, chose lifestyle over “quick fixes,” and learned to treat self‑care as part of the job, not a luxury. The payoff isn’t only physical; it’s mental clarity, stable mood, and a life that feels aligned.
Then comes the purpose piece. Danielle and her RN husband have built Fuel 4 Ever, a clean‑label brand that invites middle and high school students into every step—flavor design, taste tests, packaging, and label rules. Kids pick winning flavors, and a portion of proceeds funds school projects like gardens, murals, and scholarships. It’s hands‑on access to entrepreneurship and nutrition that turns healthy snacking into pride and community impact.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed, rushed, or overwhelmed by shifting symptoms, this episode offers a plan you can start today.

Midlife isn’t the end of anything—it’s a redesign powered by data, patience, and purpose. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a review to help more women find the support they deserve.

Danielle's book recommendation: "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell

More about Danielle:

About eleven years ago, I hit rock bottom. I was dealing with depression and anxiety after my divorce, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) that landed me in the hospital, sleep problems that led to a dependency on Ambien, thyroid issues, and unwanted weight gain. Doctor visits only led to more prescriptions, and I knew there had to be a better way.

My journey toward holistic wellness, bioidentical hormones, and organic, farm-to-table living transformed not only my health but my life.

As CEO of Fuel 4 Ever, I’m focused on creating products that make a real difference—supporting sleep, longevity, and healthy snacking. We’re committed to purpose-driven products that nourish your body while giving back to communities and helping people live better lives.
Wellness is a way of life, not a quick fix. My mission is to help you find balance, longevity, and the kind of energy that makes you feel alive every day.

The 9 Enneagram Types Explained: A Framework for Personal Growth Nov 06, 2025

This week we dig into the Enneagram with coach and podcaster Jennifer Stanley to trace behavior back to core motivation, revealing how nine types, three centers of intelligence, and one core need organize the choices we make—often without noticing. That clarity opens a door: once you see the engine driving your habits, you can steer toward a life that feels aligned rather than reactive.
Jennifer breaks down the differences between surface behavior and inner motive, showing how a room-reading Type Three and a power-protecting Type Eight can look similar from the outside but live from very different “whys.” We talk blind spots—like a Two’s pride in being needed or an Eight’s pull toward intensity—and how naming them turns autopilot into awareness. From there we get practical: why online tests can only narrow your type, how to spot your center of intelligence (head, heart, or gut), and simple questions that create space between urge and action.
Midlife takes center stage as Jennifer shares Intermission, her cohort that blends deeper Enneagram work, retreat, purpose statements, and private coaching to help women co-author Act Two. We honor Act One for what it taught, make peace with changing relationships, and set boundaries that let us care for aging parents without losing ourselves. Wellness stays grounded in real life—seasonal, personal, and type-aware—whether that means CrossFit, yoga, long walks, or protecting unstructured weekends. If you’re craving a clearer map, kinder relationships, and a next chapter that fits, this conversation offers both language and tools to start now.
Jennifer's Book Recommendation: “The Road Back to You" by Suzanne Stabile

More about Jennifer:

Jennifer Stanley is a life coach and Enneagram expert who helps people see the hidden patterns shaping their lives and relationships. Drawing on years of experience guiding teams and individuals, she brings fresh insights and practical tools that spark “aha” moments and lasting growth.
Whether in private coaching, leading a workshop, cohort, or keynote, Jennifer weaves wisdom and story to inspire authentic leadership, connection, and change. As a former theater performer turned coach, she loves helping others step into their own second act with clarity and confidence.
Jennifer lives in Indiana with her husband and has two grown children. She enjoys skiing, travel, long dinner conversations with friends, community theatre, and volunteerism — always bringing creativity and connection into every part of her life.

Dermatology Trends 2025: Skin Microbiome, Immune Health, and the Future of Skincare Oct 30, 2025

Precision dermatology is rewriting the skin health playbook—and we dig into what that means for you. We sit down with Dr. Elle de Moll, a board-certified dermatologist and entrepreneur, to unpack why the skin is best understood as an immune organ, how biologics target disease without blanket suppression, and where wellness fits as research on the skin and gut microbiome accelerates. The conversation blends rigorous science with real life: female pattern hair loss in perimenopause, evidence-based treatments like spironolactone and low-dose oral minoxidil, and the emotional weight hair carries for identity and confidence.
We go deep on sun safety and expect straight forward answers on SPF 30, UV index, mineral vs chemical filters, UPF clothing, vitamin D supplementation, and why prevention beats a future Mohs scar on your lip or nose. For parents, you’ll hear practical hacks to make sunscreen kid-friendly—think brush applicators, texture choices for eczema-prone skin, and knowing when low UV days let you relax the rules. We also clarify medical dermatology versus aesthetics, why access matters, and how to find a board-certified dermatologist through the American Academy of Dermatology or your insurance network.
Finally, we talk entrepreneurship and motherhood: deciding to build a medical practice that prioritizes access and continuity, choosing what “glass balls” never drop, and letting the rubber ones bounce. The thread through it all is agency—choosing precision over perfection, asking for help, and making small, consistent choices that compound into healthier skin and a saner life.
If this conversation helped you rethink your routine or your care plan, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend. Your support helps us empower more women to live all in—and it takes less than a minute to make a big difference.

Elle's Book Recommendation: Wild by Cheryl Strayed

The Ambition Trap: How to Stop Chasing and Start Living Oct 23, 2025

What if ambition isn’t the villain—just misunderstood? We sit down with Amina AlTai, author of The Ambition Trap, to rewire how we think about drive, success, and self-worth. Amina opens up about the health crisis that forced her to step off the treadmill, how core wounds like rejection or betrayal can fuel “painful ambition,” and the shift to a values-led practice that actually restores energy instead of draining it.
Together, we draw a clear line between passion and purpose—one meant to change, the other a steadier constellation that guides choices over time. Amina introduces the Three E’s framework—Exceptional, Excellent, Eh—to help you spot your zone of genius, release the work your brain wasn’t built for, and design a role or business that compounds your best contribution. We also explore the “ambition penalty” facing women and marginalized leaders, why culture rewards the wrong signals, and what it looks like to build teams and careers that honor well-being and impact.
The heart of our conversation pairs ambition with contentment, defined as unconditional wholeness—the knowledge of enough. Rather than dulling drive, contentment steadies it, letting you move through seasons of growth, rest, and renewal without burning out. Amina shares the messy realities of publishing, the power of integrity in promotion, and the moments of community that made the work feel alive. If you’re navigating career change, leadership growth, or entrepreneurship, this one delivers practical tools and a kinder map for sustainable success.

Amina's Book recommendation: Amber Rae book Loveable

Angel Numbers 101 with Numerology Expert Remington Donovan Oct 16, 2025

Ever notice how certain numbers won’t leave you alone? We sat down with author and teacher Remington Donovan to decode why patterns like 111, 333, and even the infamous 666 keep showing up—and how to turn those moments into practical steps forward. Remington grew up immersed in spiritual practice and later fused numerology, tarot, astrology, and mystical Qabalah into a grounded approach you can use today. Instead of cryptic jargon, he translates ancient correspondences into clear, actionable guidance that fits real life.
We get specific. 111 carries the lightness of new beginnings and the trust of the Fool—permission to start. 333 lands with Saturn’s tone: finish what you’ve started, edit, resolve, ship. And 666? Not a curse, but a mirror for excellence with humility, a reminder to keep ego aligned with something larger. Along the way, we talk about why triple digits hit harder, how to read numbers the way you naturally say them, and when to stop forcing “signs” and simply act.
If you’re curious, skeptical, or somewhere in between, this conversation gives you a practical way to work with the synchronicity of numbers often referred to as angel numbers.
More about Remington:

Remington Donovan is an author, esotericist and teacher trained in the spiritual wisdom of the ancients.
He was quite literally born into the traditions of mysticism, spirituality and meditation, which naturally evolved into his now over 30 years of experience practicing with tarot and numerology. Along with performing thousands of private readings, Remington teaches and speaks all over the world. He hosts "The Mystical Artists" podcast with his wife, Jeana, and leads The Mystical Arts Mystery School.
Remington Donovan is the author of Numerology - A Beginner's Guide to the Spiritual Meaning of Numbers and Prosperity Practices: Harnessing the Power of Positive Thinking to Get the Life You Want and Angel Numbers published by Penguin. Remington lives in Vermont with his wife and two children, where he unironically believes in the infinite possibilities of the universe.

Eating Lessons: Transform Your Body & Mind Oct 09, 2025

What if cravings were clues instead of failures? We sit down with personal trainer, nutritionist, and author Justine Bassani to decode what the body is really asking for—and how to answer without guilt or gimmicks. From growing up on a family garden to coaching patrons from behind a bar, Justine brings an uncommon blend of street-level practicality and deep nutritional insight that makes change feel doable.
We start with water—how hydration quality shapes energy, skin, and digestion—and why moving away from microplastics and toward mineral-rich sources can make a daily difference. Then we explore the hopeful science of taste: your taste buds regenerate every two weeks, which means you can retrain your palate faster than you think. That unlocks mindful eating tactics that focus on awareness, not willpower, plus a simple “eat the rainbow” framework to cover crucial micronutrients without complicated tracking. Justine shares how cravings map to nutrient gaps, and offers swaps that satisfy the signal—from magnesium-rich options when chocolate calls to smarter approaches when pizza is the siren song. She also previews her Crave Well app, a craving-to-nutrients tool that turns “I want…” into better choices you can act on today.
We also tackle alcohol with clear, kind realism: how it stalls fat burning for hours, disrupts sleep, and compounds cravings the next day. If quitting isn’t your next step, better timing and fermented options can help. Rounding things out, we demystify supplements and cooking fats—why spirulina, chlorella, and liquid chlorophyll can be more effective than a generic multivitamin; when to use avocado or grapeseed oil for heat; and why olive oil shines as a finishing touch. Whether you’re vegan, veg-curious, or simply aiming for fewer ultraprocessed meals, you’ll walk away with grounded strategies to fuel better, feel better, and enjoy the process.
Justine's Book: Eating Lessons

More about Justine:

Justine Bassani is the founder of All Glowed Up LLC, a wellness brand rooted in empowerment, emotional intelligence, and nutrition logic. She’s the author of Eating Lessons, a best-selling anti-diet wellness book that blends science-backed insights with real-life food philosophy—and she’s currently developing the CRAVExWELL app, a smart craving-based wellness platform backed by affiliate grocery and meal delivery partnerships.
Justine is a NASM-certified personal trainer and nutrition coach, known for her honest, practical approach to healing your relationship with food. Her brand includes companion shadow-work journals (Notes to Self Vol. 1 & 2), glow-up tools, and lifestyle merch designed to support real people through transformation—from emotional eating to embodied self-love.
Whether she’s teaching people how to decode cravings, swapping stories with wellness pros, or building AI features that track glow streaks and smart grocery choices, Justine brings humor, compassion, and deep know-how to every conversation.

Why Women's Wellness Needs a Revolution with MyStart Health CEO Oct 02, 2025

Rethinking about your hard. What if the small hard thing you choose today could spare you from the bigger pain you fear most? This week, we sit down with entrepreneur-turned-wellness-builder Matt Stern to trace the arc from a 300 sq ft pool house to $300M+ in business outcomes—and why he pivoted to women’s health with a new mission grounded in family, freedom, and real results. The story moves fast: early startup lessons in growth, the power of purpose over pure hustle, and the moment he saw GLP‑1 meds not as shortcuts, but as lifelines that help people finally build sustainable habits.
We go deep on the hormone health gap. Matt shares his wife’s frustrating journey to find a clinician who would listen, his mother’s preventable osteoporosis, and how decades-old fear has kept too many women suffering in perimenopause and menopause. We talk about what needs to change: access, evidence-based education, and personalization that meets each woman’s biology and goals. From brain fog and sleep to bone health and even female hair loss, the conversation connects dots that mainstream care often misses—and outlines how a for-women, by-women telehealth approach can center expertise and dignity.
Along the way, we get tactical. A daily walk paired with a positive podcast. Breathwork that doubles as meditation and a nervous system reset. Consistency over intensity. By the end, “choose your hard” sounds less like grit and more like self-respect—a way to make tomorrow lighter by taking a compassionate step today.
If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a boost, and leave a quick review so more people can find these tools. Your support helps us move closer to empowering one million women to live all in.

Matt's book recommendation: Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday

More about Matt:

Matt Stern is more than just a growth marketing expert, he’s a self-made entrepreneur, father, and story-driven leader who went from being homeless to generating over $300M in collective business revenue. As the CEO of The Stern Group and MyStart Health, Matt has helped build and scale multiple brands, but his real mission lies in helping others balance business success with life’s deeper challenges.
Whether he's discussing high-impact marketing, the raw truths of fatherhood and resilience, or how a single round of golf can reveal everything about a person, Matt brings authenticity, strategy, and lived experience to every conversation.

The Divorce Glow Up: Retiring at 40 and Finding Freedom in Bali After Divorce Sep 25, 2025

What if the end of your marriage could become the beginning of your most authentic life? That's exactly what happened for Clover Lam, who transformed her devastating divorce into a complete life reinvention—retiring at 40, moving to Bali, and creating a business that helps other women navigate their own post-divorce journeys.
Clover's story begins with a shocking moment of clarity. While living in Hong Kong with her husband, a voice inside whispered: "You don't love him, you're only here for security." Though she initially ignored this intuition, two months later her marriage ended anyway, leaving her emotionally shattered and questioning everything. Rather than staying stuck in victimhood, Clover embraced vulnerability and began the deep work of peeling back layers of societal conditioning to rediscover her authentic self.
This radical self-examination led her to travel solo to 47 countries, discover financial independence, and ultimately retire from her 20-year flight attendant career to become a post-divorce wellness coach.
One of the most powerful insights Clover shares challenges our cultural assumptions about women's happiness. Statistics reveal that never-married, child-free women are actually the happiest demographic group—contrary to societal narratives that tie women's worth to marriage and motherhood. This freedom from conventional expectations allows women to design lives that truly align with their authentic desires.
Now living as a digital nomad in Bali, Clover embodies the transformation she teaches. She's surrounded by entrepreneurs and wellness practitioners who understand that inner wellness directly translates to outer success. Through her coaching practice and content creation, she's turning her pain into purpose, helping other women discover that divorce isn't the end of their story—it might just be the beginning of their most radiant chapter.
Ready to transform your own heartbreak? Connect with Clover to learn about her upcoming Bali retreat and discover how your greatest pain might become your greatest purpose.

Clover's Book Recommendation: Many Lives, Many Masters" by Dr. Brian Weiss

More about Clover:

Clover Lam is a post-divorce wellness coach, viral content creator, and the founder of The Divorce Glow-Up — a transformational method helping millennial, child-free women rebuild their lives from the inside out after heartbreak.
Divorced at 30, retired early by 40, Clover turned her own healing journey into a powerful framework that fuses mindset reframe, emotional healing, and financial empowerment. She built a $500K+ net worth on a $60K salary, quit her 20-year career, and moved to Bali solo — not to escape life, but to fully claim it.
Now, she guides women through a holistic 8-pillar process rooted in embodiment, identity, money, and self-worth — teaching them how to rewrite their story, reclaim their power, and glow from a place of authenticity.

From Burn Your Shit to Big Deck Energy: Tarot Lori's Journey to Spiritual Entrepreneurship Sep 18, 2025

Discover how a deck of 78 cards holds the key to deeper self-awareness with this week's guest, Tarot Lori Dyan. She says the cards are not about fortune-telling; they are a mirror reflecting your inner wisdom back to you.
Returning to the House of JerMar podcast, Lori brings her signature blend of grounded wisdom and playful insight as she unpacks the true power of tarot. "I always say a tarot reading, at least with me, is a conversation with your soul," she explains. "I'm the interpreter, but you can have this conversation yourself." This refreshing perspective strips away the mystical intimidation that often surrounds tarot practice.
Lori's journey from communications director to full-time tarot reader wasn't immediate – it evolved over 35 years, beginning with lessons from a witch named Erica in Calgary, Alberta. The transformation accelerated after 50, when Lori finally decided to "plant her freak flag and let it fly." This courage led to a two-book deal with HarperCollins, with her latest release, "Big Deck Energy," demystifying tarot for modern readers.
Beyond dispelling myths about "scary" cards like Death and the Devil (which actually represent transformation and limiting beliefs), Lori dives deep into tarot ethics. She explains why questions should focus inward rather than prying into others' energies, and why everyone has the intuitive ability to interpret cards for themselves. Her practice has expanded beyond individual readings to corporate events, women's retreats, and even strategic planning sessions with businesses.
The episode culminates with Lori pulling the Star card for listeners – revealing it as one of the luckiest in the deck while offering profound wisdom about destiny, free will, and walking your own path. As she reminds us, "The magic is in you" – tarot simply helps us access what we already know deep within.
Ready to start your own conversation with your soul? Grab Lori's book Big Deck Energy, follow her on Instagram @TarotLori, or simply pull a card and see what messages find you when you need them most.

More about Lori Dyan:

Lori Dyan is a 2X HarperCollins bestselling author, tarot expert, and ritual guide with 35+ years of experience inspiring audiences worldwide. Known for her signature blend of humor and insight, Lori has been featured in Vogue and at luxury events from Beverly Hills to Bali.
Whether she’s captivating leaders at Google and Chanel or leading transformational retreats at Canyon Ranch, Lori creates unforgettable experiences that help guests release what no longer serves them—and step boldly into what’s next.
Her bestselling debut, Burn Your Sh*t, cracked open the power of ritual. Her latest bestseller, Big Deck Energy, launched into the self-help top 10 alongside Mel Robbins and Glennon Doyle, bringing tarot into the mainstream.
Mentored by a crystal-ball-gazing witch and deeply connected to her Indigenous lineage, Lori’s work weaves ancient wisdom with modern clarity to create uniquely empowering experiences.

What Is a Recovery Coach? Inside the Growing Wellness Movement Sep 11, 2025

In honor of September being National Recovery Month, we are exploring what exactly a recovery coach is, and why you might want one, even if you don't identify as having an addiction. In this illuminating conversation, Stephanie Hazard—a recovery coach with 25 years of personal sobriety—redefines our understanding of recovery support beyond traditional treatment models.
"A recovery coach is someone who has lived experience plus professional training, to support an individual who is either curious or struggling with substances," explains Stephanie. Whether you're questioning your relationship with alcohol, exploring sobriety, or maintaining long-term recovery, coaches serve as bridges to help you navigate from where you are to where you want to be. Unlike therapists or sponsors, recovery coaches work shoulder-to-shoulder with clients, providing structured support while developing personalized wellness strategies.
The conversation delves into fascinating territory around changing societal attitudes toward alcohol. From the evolution of non-alcoholic beverage descriptions (from "non-alcoholic" to "spirit-free") to the World Health Organization's statement that no amount of alcohol is safe, we're witnessing a profound shift in how people approach substances. More individuals—particularly those in their 50s and 60s—are choosing alcohol-free lifestyles not because they identify as having problems, but for overall health and longevity.
Perhaps most compelling is Stephanie's methodology for helping clients build both internal and external "recovery capital." Through practical tools like the Recovery Capital Scale, coaches help identify areas for growth while developing alternative coping mechanisms and celebration rituals. The goal isn't just symptom management but creating sustainable wellness across all life dimensions. As Stephanie poignantly shares, "My job as a coach is to put myself out of the job" by empowering clients with the skills and confidence to navigate life's challenges independently.
Ready to explore your relationship with substances or enhance your wellness journey? This episode offers transformative insights whether you're in recovery, sober-curious, or simply interested in optimizing your health. Listen now and discover how recovery coaching might be the missing piece in your wellness puzzle.

Stephanie's book recommendation: "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz.

More about Stephanie:

Stephanie Hazard is a sought-after recovery coach who works with individuals and families across the country. In recovery for twenty-five years, her experiential knowledge, expertise, and professional training empower her to help others achieve and sustain recovery and wellness. Stephanie launched her private coaching practice, A Path Toward Recovery in 2021, and co-founded Capstone Wellness Coaching which offers support services to young adults and adolescents. Her book about recovery coaching will be released next year and distributed by Simon and Schuster.

When Jessica Lowry found herself facing financial struggles in 2018 with three young children and a husband battling health issues, she never imagined a simple kitchen experiment would transform her family's future. Desperate for a natural immune support remedy as cold and flu season approached, Jessica crafted her own elderberry syrup—a formula her children would actually enjoy. After sharing her creation on social media, something unexpected happened: friends began asking if they could purchase her homemade remedy.
That moment of realization—that her kitchen creation could help others while supporting her family—felt like divine intervention. Jessica and her husband began making batches late into the night after tucking their children into bed, meeting customers in parking lots and playgrounds. What started as a simple solution to a personal challenge quickly blossomed into something much larger, as word spread about their pure, potent elderberry syrup.
While Jessica knew elderberry was excellent for immune support, she was astonished to discover people experiencing relief from joint pain, inflammation, allergies, and sleep issues. The European black elderberry (Sambucus nigra), combined with organic ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and raw honey, was creating a synergistic effect that addressed multiple health concerns simultaneously. Unlike commercial alternatives loaded with additives, The Power of Elderberries products contain no preservatives, added sugars, or artificial ingredients—a commitment Jessica maintains despite opportunities to cut costs.
Today, The Power of Elderberries offers both their signature refrigerated syrup and convenient "Elderberry Syrup Bites" for on-the-go wellness, with pet formulations coming soon. Jessica's journey from teacher to reluctant entrepreneur to passionate wellness advocate reminds us that sometimes our greatest purpose finds us when we least expect it.

How to Build Confidence After Losing Everything Aug 28, 2025

What happens when you lose everything and have nowhere to go but up? Louise Colyer knows that journey intimately. In this profound conversation, Louise reveals how she transformed her life after simultaneously losing her family, home, businesses, and health.
The turning point wasn't dramatic – it began with simply brushing her teeth after months of depression. This small act of self-care sparked a journey that would see Louise lose 52kg, reverse her eating disorders, and build a thriving coaching business helping others develop genuine confidence.
Louise's approach to transformation is refreshingly honest and practical. Rather than focusing on external goals or validation, she guides clients to develop self-love and intuition about what truly makes them feel good. "I get people to literally love themselves and want to do it for themselves, not just for what they look like," she explains. Her holistic method examines spiritual journeys, exercise routines, nutrition, emotional intelligence, and thought patterns to create lasting change.
What makes this episode particularly powerful is Louise's vulnerability about her own struggles. From being bullied as a mixed-race child to feeling like the "black sheep" throughout her life, she shares how these experiences informed her understanding of confidence. Her insights on handling fear by questioning negative thoughts with evidence-based reality checks offer listeners practical tools they can apply immediately.
Louise's story is living proof that transformation doesn't require dramatic interventions or perfect circumstances. It requires consistent small steps, self-compassion, and the courage to listen to your intuition even when it goes against the crowd. Whether you're facing your own rock bottom or simply wanting to build more authentic confidence, this conversation offers both inspiration and actionable wisdom for your journey.

Louise's book recommendation: "You Are A Magnet" by Amber Lyons

More about Louise:

Louise has a powerful passion for helping people regain their confidence and love for themselves—because she’s lived through the journey herself.
After experiencing deep personal trauma and adversity, she rebuilt her life from the inside out. Through fitness, mindset shifts, and emotional mastery, Louise transformed her pain into purpose.

Today, she empowers others to rise from their own struggles, guiding them to rediscover their self-worth, rebuild their confidence, and truly love who they are—mentally, emotionally, and physically.

In this heartfelt conversation, mindset coach Lindsay Potter reveals how she's helping young athletes do exactly that.
Lindsay shares her remarkable journey from beverage industry marketing executive to mental performance coach for teenagers. After being laid off just before COVID hit, she embarked on an entrepreneurial path that eventually led her to combine her 25 years of coaching experience with her passion for mental wellness. Through meditation, breathwork training, and her own athletic background as a collegiate lacrosse player, Lindsay discovered her true calling: empowering teen athletes to build confidence, resilience, and mental toughness.
What makes this conversation particularly compelling is Lindsay's honest approach to fear and confidence-building. She explains that confidence isn't something we simply have or don't have—it's a skill developed through consistent practice and habit-building. With teenage athletes facing unprecedented pressure in today's competitive landscape, Lindsay's work teaches them practical tools like box breathing, visualization, and emotional regulation that serve them both on and off the field.
The episode also explores Lindsay's personal wellness practices, from her morning meditation routine to her five-minute gratitude journal, showing how she embodies the mindset she teaches. Her inspiring story of coaching her own children through a challenging Grand Canyon hike illustrates her philosophy perfectly: don't focus on the distant summit; just make it to the next patch of shade. This "one step at a time" approach applies equally to athletic performance, entrepreneurship, and any meaningful challenge we face.

The Bold Pivot: From Burnout to Breakthrough Aug 14, 2025

What happens when you abandon the corporate career you've spent decades building—with no backup plan? Leigh Burgess knows this territory intimately. After twenty years climbing the healthcare administration ladder at prestigious institutions like Duke and Dartmouth, she found herself sleeping just two hours a night, physically deteriorating, and completely disconnected from her authentic self.
In this raw and revealing conversation, Leigh shares the moment she realized the strategy that had always worked—taking on more responsibility—was now destroying her health and happiness. Her bold decision to quit without a plan led to co-founding a company with her daughter and creating the BOLD framework (Believe, Own, Learn, Design) that now guides individuals and organizations through meaningful transformation.
Leigh offers powerful insights about identity beyond title, challenging the stories we tell ourselves, and redefining success on deeply personal terms. "Your values are really the things that are the filter for your actions and, ultimately, your beliefs," she explains, pinpointing how misalignment in these areas inevitably leads to burnout.
The discussion explores practical exercises for discovering your true "why," techniques for silencing imposter syndrome, and why fear should be viewed as a signal rather than a stop sign. Leigh's vulnerability about her own journey—including how her brother's death when she was six shaped her need to make everyone happy—creates profound connection points for anyone questioning their current path.
Whether you're contemplating a career pivot, recovering from burnout, or simply seeking greater alignment between your values and daily life, this episode delivers both inspiration and tactical frameworks for taking that first bold step. As Leigh wisely notes, "You don't have to have it all figured out—you just need to know the next ten steps."
Ready to discover how choosing yourself might be the boldest and most rewarding move you'll ever make? Listen now and begin reimagining what's possible in your own life.

Unlearning the Past to Find Your Purpose Aug 07, 2025

We all know that success doesn't always lead to happiness. Sometimes, the life you've carefully constructed is built on someone else's blueprint.
This week's podcast guest, Eli Bowman, has a story that is precisely that. A successful entrepreneur traveling the country in an RV with his wife and five homeschooled children sounds like the perfect life, right? Yet beneath this picture-perfect exterior lurked what he describes as "quiet desperation." Despite checking all the boxes society told him would lead to happiness, Eli found himself questioning everything during what became a full-blown midlife crisis on wheels.
"I was checking all the boxes, doing all the things I was told I should do that lead to happiness. But the fruit on the tree was bitter, and I was confused," Eli shares candidly. This profound disconnect between external success and internal fulfillment led him to question every foundational pillar of his life—from his spiritual beliefs to his career choices and even his marriage.
The turning point came unexpectedly when Eli stumbled into a neuro-linguistic programming certification event. Now a master practitioner in NLP, he's dedicated his life to helping others recognize and break free from unconscious programming that keeps them stuck. His forthcoming book "Rewrite the Program" outlines the transformational journey from conformity to authentic self-expression.
Whether you're feeling that inexplicable disconnect between your achievements and happiness, or simply curious about how your unconscious mind might be running the show, this conversation will leave you questioning what programming might be holding you back from living your most authentic life.

Eli's book recommendation: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle

More about Eli:

Eli Bowman is a top-selling author, entrepreneur, and expert in human transformation who has dedicated his life to helping people break free from the mental programming that keeps them stuck. After experiencing his own rock bottom through self-destructive patterns driven by limiting beliefs, Eli discovered the power of identifying and rewriting the unconscious programs that govern our behavior. This personal transformation led him to bootstrap a startup to a multi-million dollar valuation with over 40 employees, but more importantly, it revealed his true calling: guiding others to remove the invisible barriers blocking their path to fulfillment.
As a Master Practitioner in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) certified by the American Board of NLP, Eli specializes in revealing the fascinating connections between our unconscious mind and daily experiences. Eli's mission is simple: to help people rewrite their internal programming so they can discover and live their true purpose.

Wellness Warriors: Two Female Entrepreneurs Share Mindset Tools for Life Transformation Jul 31, 2025

What if creating a wellness practice was less about following someone else's routine and more about discovering what truly resonates with you? In this soul-nourishing conversation, Jeanne Collins welcomes returning guest Sue Saller for an intimate exploration of how we can cultivate genuine wellness by honoring our unique needs.
Sue, author and host of the "Small Steps, Big Wins" podcast, shares her journey through post-traumatic growth and how she's learned to quiet the constant noise of modern life. Together, Jeanne and Sue unpack the powerful yet simple practices that have transformed their wellbeing—journaling to anchor themselves, breathwork to open new possibilities, and nature walks to restore perspective. What's most refreshing is their emphasis on grace and permission; wellness isn't about perfection but consistency in whatever form serves you best.
The conversation takes a fascinating turn when they distinguish between intuition-based and fear-based decisions. Sue offers a brilliant insight: intuition often comes when opportunities find you rather than when you force circumstances. This perspective shift alone could transform how we navigate life's crossroads. They also challenge the outdated notion that we must find one purpose and stick with it for decades. Instead, they suggest embracing how our purpose naturally evolves through different life seasons—a liberating concept for anyone feeling stuck or uncertain about their path.
Whether you're overwhelmed by wellness trends, questioning your direction, or simply seeking more peace in your daily experience, this conversation offers gentle wisdom and practical steps forward. Tune in to discover how small, intentional practices can lead to profound inner change, and why your evolving purpose might be the greatest gift you give yourself.

Let's Manifest Jul 24, 2025

Ever wondered if you could design your life with the same intention you design your home? In this special episode, I share one of my most powerful teachings from my Empowerment Fundamentals Course—the exact four-step manifestation process that transformed my career and life.
What makes my approach different is the crucial step that many overlook: embodiment. Before taking action toward your desires, you must first become the version of yourself who has already achieved them. Through vivid storytelling, I reveal how I manifested myself out of a successful interior design career and into my true calling as a coach, speaker, and course creator by consistently embodying the energy of my future self.
You'll discover practical techniques for raising your vibration through journaling, meditation, and mindset shifts that align you with your desires. I share vulnerable personal examples, including how I visualized myself on a stage speaking to thousands long before opportunities arose, and how I recognized divine timing when a client unexpectedly released me from an interior design project—providing both the confirmation and financial runway I needed to pivot.
The manifestation process isn't just about getting what you want—it's about becoming who you're meant to be. Through breathwork exercises, embodiment practices, and trust-building techniques, you'll learn how to co-create with the universe while surrendering to perfect timing. Whether you're seeking career transformation, relationship fulfillment, or simply a parking spot at the grocery store, these principles work at every level when applied consistently.
Ready to become a conscious creator of your reality? This episode offers a taste of the transformational work available in my complete Empowerment Fundamentals course. The universe has your back—are you ready to meet it halfway?

It Is Never Too Late to Change Your Life Story Jul 17, 2025

Ever wondered why you keep repeating the same patterns or finding yourself in similar situations despite your best efforts? The answer may lie in your personal narrative—the story you've been telling yourself since childhood.
Clinical social worker Ellen Arcamone takes us on a journey into how our personal narratives form, often when we're too young to accurately interpret the world around us. "We come up with the story and take bits and pieces of the movie of our life," Ellen explains. "The problem is we start creating that story when we are very little kids, and it's impossible for us to make sense of what's happening around us."
These narratives aren't merely stories—they're the filters through which we experience everything. They determine how we communicate, form relationships, process emotions, and respond to stress. Most importantly, they're not always based in fact, even though we cling to them as absolute truths.
Through her practice combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Ellen offers powerful frameworks for recognizing and reshaping our self-limiting beliefs. One particularly valuable skill she shares is "check the facts"—a simple yet transformative approach to distinguishing between our powerful emotions and objective reality.
The conversation delves into radical acceptance, the balance between judgment and curiosity, and how our thoughts directly influence our feelings and behaviors. "Mindset is everything," Ellen states. "Everything starts with a thought. The thoughts are where everything is born, because our thoughts are going to lead directly to a feeling that matches that thought."
What makes this discussion truly special is Ellen's authenticity about her own journey—changing careers at 50 and finding her true calling in helping others discover their authentic selves. Her insights remind us that we're all multidimensional beings capable of growth at any age.
Ready to rewrite your story? Listen now and discover how changing your personal narrative might just be the key to transforming your entire life. Share your thoughts with us and subscribe for more conversations that empower you to live authentically.

More about Ellen:

Ellen has extensive experience treating addiction, grief, anxiety, depression, adjustment, as well as personality disorders, with a special focus on women’s issues and uses a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectal Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Psychodynamic modalities.

A mother's worst nightmare became the catalyst for profound healing and transformation when Brigitte Apostolakos' six-year-old daughter suffered a catastrophic brain bleed during COVID lockdown. With 90% of her daughter's left cerebellum compromised, medical professionals offered little hope for recovery. Yet through desperate research and intuitive understanding, Bridget discovered the remarkable power of neuroplasticity and began whispering intricate visualization meditations to her daughter that literally rewired her brain.

Whether you're navigating a personal health crisis, struggling with chronic stress, or simply seeking to optimize your well-being, this episode offers practical wisdom and inspiring hope.

Raising Your Vibration: Gene Keys, DNA Activation & Spiritual Awakening Jul 03, 2025

Rebecca Parris had checked all the boxes of success—prestigious career, 27-year marriage, president of the garden club, tennis association, and multiple foundations. Her life looked perfect from the outside. Then something shifted. During a simple dog walk, a conversation with her daughter about coincidences cracked open her perception of reality, launching her on a profound spiritual journey.
With remarkable courage during the pandemic, Rebecca walked away from everything familiar. "To fully start new, you have to close all the doors so new ones can open," she explains with the calm assurance of someone who has faced the void and found something extraordinary on the other side. Now residing in the mountains near Asheville, she helps others navigate their own spiritual awakenings.
The conversation takes us deep into consciousness expansion—from the Gene Keys system that provides a blueprint of your unique purpose to the science of dormant DNA activation. Rebecca bridges spiritual concepts with scientific understanding, making esoteric knowledge accessible. She explains how our reality functions like radio frequencies, where we can tune into different stations ranging from fear and shame to love and enlightenment using Dr. David Hawkins' scale of consciousness.
What stands out most is Rebecca's holistic approach to spiritual growth. She emphasizes that true transformation requires balancing masculine and feminine energies, honoring both doing and being. Her daily practices—intention setting, meditation, journaling, and connecting with nature—offer practical tools for listeners seeking their own spiritual path. Rebecca's story reminds us that at any age, we can choose sovereignty over victimhood and consciously create a life aligned with our soul's purpose.
Ready to raise your vibration? This conversation might just be the catalyst you need to tune into a higher frequency and discover what's possible when you trust your inner guidance completely.

The Truth About Vein Health: Why 1 in 4 People Suffer from Vein Disease" Jun 26, 2025

Ever wondered why those spider veins appear or why your legs feel heavy at the end of the day? Dr. Afshar of the Vein Institute takes us on a fascinating journey through our circulatory system, explaining how veins work using a tree analogy that makes complex medical concepts accessible to everyone.
"Think of veins like a tree," Dr. Afshar explains. "Spider veins are the very top branches, while varicose veins are the deeper branches that become congested when valves don't close properly." This simple yet powerful metaphor helps us understand why one in four people suffer from vein disease and how it impacts our daily comfort and mobility.
The conversation reveals surprising connections between vein health and conditions you might not expect—like restless leg syndrome, which can be caused by either low iron or vein disease. For those concerned about treatment, there's good news: modern vein procedures are virtually painless, can be done during a lunch hour, and most are covered by insurance, including Medicare and Medicaid, when symptoms are present.
Dr. Afshar also shares practical advice for maintaining vein health, explaining why walking is particularly beneficial (your calf muscles are your "second heart" for circulation!) and how compression stockings work to promote proper blood flow. These simple lifestyle adjustments can both prevent new vein issues and complement medical treatments.
Whether you're dealing with visible spider veins, uncomfortable varicose veins, or unexplained leg discomfort, this episode offers valuable insights into treatment options and preventive measures.

Dr. Alex Afshar is a highly experienced medical doctor with nearly 20 years of expertise in vascular diseases. Previously, he worked at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), focusing on immunotherapy and cancer vaccines, particularly for melanoma. He has contributed to several publications in his field, demonstrating his dedication to advancing medical research and patient care.

Interior Design Meets Wellness: Creating Spaces That Nurture Mind and Body Jun 19, 2025

This week, we're talking Interior Design! Award-winning designer Dane Austin offers a refreshingly authentic approach to creating spaces that truly reflect their inhabitants.
Dane beautifully articulates what sets his work apart - rather than imposing a signature style, he designs spaces that embody each client's unique definition of beauty and luxury. When pressed to describe his aesthetic, he offers a compelling blend: "Tom Ford meets Wes Anderson with Billie Holiday" - combining refined tailoring with playful whimsy and soulful imperfection.
This deeply personalized approach requires going beyond surface preferences. "We're in parts of people's homes that some people never see," Dane explains. "We're lining your underwear drawer and have to know how you organize all of your belongings." This intimate understanding allows him to create environments that feel genuinely aligned with how clients live.
Behind Dane's artistic vision lies sophisticated business savvy. He's built a nimble team that combines local creative talent with remote specialists, allowing his firm to scale up or down based on project demands. This flexibility reflects lessons learned from years of experience and multiple business coaches who helped him develop systems that support both creativity and profitability.
Perhaps most compelling is Dane's perspective on wellness as essential to both design excellence and entrepreneurial success. Despite his impressive achievements and growing industry recognition, he's intentionally simplifying his professional commitments to prioritize health and personal connections. "If you're not filling up your cup, then how are you expected to fill up the cups of others?"
Ready to create spaces that truly reflect who you are while supporting how you want to feel? Listen now to discover how thoughtful design can transform not just your home, but your entire sense of wellbeing.

More about Dane:

Dane Austin is recognized as one of New England’s most influential interior designers. His elevated yet deeply personal approach to design has cultivated a loyal and discerning following. He believes that if we live in homes that are beautifully designed and in alignment with our definition of comfort and wellness, our lives feel complete. This philosophy is the foundation of his design firm, Dane Austin Design.

Based in Boston, Dane Austin Design is a full-service interior design firm specializing in luxury residential interiors throughout New England, Washington, D.C., and North America.

Women in C-Suite: Thriving in Male-Dominated Industries with Heart-Centered Leadership Jun 12, 2025

Have you ever felt that subtle nudge from your intuition telling you to completely change direction? That's exactly what happened to Adele DiMarco when she realized her carefully planned medical career wasn't aligned with her true purpose.
Adele shares the pivotal moment when, while reading a book by Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh, she experienced full-body clarity that medical school wasn't her path. "I literally felt like I set myself free," she reveals, describing the physical sensation of liberation that came with honoring her intuition. This moment launched her on an unexpected journey toward becoming a "mastery level facilitator" and founder of Yinovate Consulting and Coaching.
What makes Adele's approach unique is her ability to integrate seemingly separate domains - strategic planning, culture strengthening, team building, and leadership development - into one cohesive process she calls a "whole systems up level." Working primarily with C-suite executives, particularly women in male-dominated industries, she creates spaces where authentic leadership can flourish.
Perhaps most compelling is Adele's perspective on the workplace as "this highly underutilized learning community for personal transformation." Rather than compartmentalizing professional development and personal growth, she sees our careers as powerful vehicles for evolving as whole human beings.

From Cult Survivor to Empowerment Coach: Learning to Reprogram your Brain Jun 05, 2025

Lydia Knight opens her conversation with a stark admission: "I grew up in a cult." Her grandmother was the cult leader, and young Lydia lived with the constant fear that Satan worshippers secretly ruled the world and were hunting her family. When she complained of back pain as a child, her mother explained it was because these Satan worshippers had kidnapped her, repeatedly broken her spine, and inserted needles into her eyes. This distorted reality shaped her entire world until adulthood.
The turning point came through education. While attending university, Lydia discovered psychology and neuroscience principles that helped her understand false memories and how the brain works. She developed a systematic approach to reprogramming her own neural pathways, allowing her to escape the cult mentality that had imprisoned her for decades. Later, she successfully applied these same principles to overcome a life-threatening eating disorder.
This personal transformation led to the founding of The She Center, where Lydia and her team have helped over a thousand women end eating disorders and reclaim their lives. What began as a specific solution expanded into executive coaching as clients recognized these neuroscience principles could transform every area of their lives.

She has conducted leadership and communication trainings for the U.S. Army, Forbes 50 Over 50, Disney, Adobe, and National Geographic.

When Trauma Changes Everything: Inside The Phenom's Wife Journey of Healing and Rediscovery May 22, 2025

What happens when the perfect American dream life is shattered in an instant? For Jenna Ann Miller, a traumatic cycling accident that left her husband Steve with a severe brain injury didn't just upend her family's reality—it transformed her understanding of what life truly is.
In this profound conversation, Jenna shares the extraordinary spiritual awakening that accompanied her darkest moment. "It was as if someone opened up the top of my head and just poured love into my whole body," she explains, describing the paradoxical experience of finding overwhelming love and connection in the midst of devastation. As her husband lay in a 59-day coma and faced the arduous journey of literal rebirth—relearning everything from breathing to walking—Jenna discovered dimensions of love, community, and purpose she never knew existed.
Through her CaringBridge blog that eventually became her memoir "The Phenom's Wife," Jenna created something magical: a field of collective energy where thousands of readers (many complete strangers) participated in what can only be described as synchronistic support. From Alaska-caught salmon appearing on her doorstep to executive-level insurance intervention happening exactly when needed, the "coincidences" defied explanation. This community carried her through the dual challenges of Steve's brain injury and later cancer diagnosis, showing her what's possible when vulnerability meets collective compassion.
Perhaps most compelling is Jenna's central question: How can we access this profound sense of presence, connection and clarity without experiencing catastrophic trauma? "The person I was before was just gunning, running, achieving her to-do list," she reflects. "Life is not the to-do list, life is not the accolades and the bank account. Trauma unfortunately shows us what it really is." Her journey invites us all to reconsider what truly matters before crisis forces the lesson upon us.

Jenna's Book Recommendation: The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer

More about Jenna: Jenna’s life changed forever in 2017 when her husband, Steve, suffered a traumatic brain injury in a cycling accident.

Before that, she had built what felt like a storybook life—a loving marriage, two wonderful kids, and a fulfilling career as an interior designer. But when tragedy struck, Jenna was thrust into the dual roles of caregiver and single parent. Determined to bring Steve back to life, she chronicled her journey in a public diary on CaringBridge, which eventually became The Phenom’s Wife.

Decoding Numerology with Remington Donovan: How Numbers Reveal Your Soul's Purpose May 15, 2025

In this captivating conversation with numerology expert Remington Donovan, we journey into the mystical world of numbers and discover how they can reveal profound truths about ourselves. What if the numbers that keep appearing in your life are actually messages from the universe? What if your birthdate holds the key to understanding your soul's purpose?
Remington shares his extraordinary upbringing in an ashram founded by Swami Satchidananda, where he was immersed in spiritual teachings from childhood. This unique background led him to explore Western hermetic mysticism and ultimately develop his expertise in numerology. With disarming humility and clarity, he breaks down complex concepts into practical wisdom anyone can apply.
Discover how your birthday creates a personal numerology chart that reveals your soul number, karma, gifts, and life path. Learn why those with soul number 10 possess "star power" that thrives when expressed outwardly, and why those with life path 8 carry abundant healing energy. Remington explains what it means to be in a "nine year" in 2025 – a time of subtlety, refinement, and mastery that calls for a deeper, more sensitive awareness in everything we do.
The conversation takes fascinating turns as Remington shares the story of unexpectedly delivering his daughter and previews his upcoming book on angel numbers – those mysterious repeating sequences like 333 or 777 that appear in our lives with uncanny timing. He emphasizes that numerology isn't about predicting the future but providing a framework for self-discovery: "Know thyself. The numbers help you do that."
Whether you're a numerology enthusiast or completely new to the concept, this episode will transform how you think about the numbers in your life and open your eyes to the subtle messages the universe might be sending your way.

Journey Into Your Subconscious: How Breathwork Opens Pathways to Clarity and Healing May 08, 2025

Could the key to emotional freedom, mental clarity, and personal transformation be hiding in something as fundamental as your breath? In this eye-opening conversation, breathwork facilitator Jenn Warwick reveals how conscious breathing techniques can unlock doors within us that logical thinking cannot open.
When we first hear about breathwork, many of us think of simple relaxation exercises or meditation support. But as Jenn explains, transformational breathwork journeys go much deeper – creating an altered state where the logical mind quiets and the subconscious becomes accessible. Through specific breathing patterns guided by a skilled facilitator, we can open energetic, emotional, and physical channels that may have been blocked for years. Host Jeanne Collins shares her personal experience with breathwork, describing how just one journey session helped her recognize and release protective armor she'd been carrying since childhood.
What makes breathwork so revolutionary is its accessibility. Unlike many wellness practices that require special equipment or extensive training, breathing is something we all do constantly. Jenn demonstrates how even three conscious breaths can shift our nervous system from stress to calm, and how different techniques can be used throughout the day – from energizing morning practices to sleep-inducing evening routines. For busy parents or professionals struggling to find "me time," Jenn offers practical suggestions for incorporating breathwork into even the most hectic schedules.
The science behind breathwork continues to validate what ancient healing traditions have known for centuries. Conscious diaphragmatic breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, signaling safety to the body and creating a cascade of positive physiological responses. Meanwhile, more active breathwork techniques can help clear stagnant energy, increase focus, and access the creative problem-solving capabilities of the subconscious mind. Ready to discover how something as simple as your breath could transform your life? Listen now and take your first step toward breathing with intention.

Jenn's book recommendation: Just Breathe - Dan Brule

More about Jenn:

Jenn has been in the fitness and wellness industry for over 20 years and is passionate about practices that place a large emphasis on mind-body awareness and optimizing vitality and personal growth.

As a Breathwork Coach, Jenn believes that breathwork is one of the most important pillars of health because of its ability to regulate our body’s nervous system, which effects all systems in the body: pulmonary, lymphatic, digestive, respiratory, immune, endocrine, and more. The better and more efficiently we breathe, the more optimally these systems work together to heal and elevate the body. The skillful coaching tools and insights that Jenn imparts are proof that breath is the portal that opens channels for release, personal growth and transformation.

How Everyday Words Shape Our Inner Life: A Conversation with a Poetic Author May 01, 2025

Words shape our reality in profound ways we rarely notice. When was the last time you paused to consider what "identity" truly means to you? Or how your understanding of "surrender" affects your daily choices?
Author Rhiah Krista Kujat invites us into a transformative relationship with language in this soul-stirring conversation about her book "Life's Poetic Glossary." With stunning vulnerability, Rhiah shares how her path from environmental advisor to actor to somatic practitioner ultimately led to creating this unique meditation on the humanity behind our vocabulary. After selling her successful retreat business during the pandemic, she embarked on a two-year journey of exploration around the world—a radical experiment in freedom that birthed her creative vision.
"I've always written with metaphor," Rhiah explains, "because I could express sentiments that weren't available to me in the English language." This limitation became her inspiration. Words like "passion," "joy," and "calling" become diluted through casual use, losing their depth and personal resonance. Through poetic definitions paired with breathtaking x-ray flower photography, Rhiah reclaims these words, giving voice to their subtle nuances and transformational power.
The book functions beautifully as a daily oracle—open to any page for inspiration or a word to contemplate throughout your day. As Rhiah reads her definitions of "identity" and "surrender," we experience how poetry can capture the paradoxes of human experience in ways conventional language cannot. Identity both defines us and limits us; surrender both releases control and expands possibilities.
Whether you're looking to deepen your journaling practice, enhance your mindfulness, or simply surround yourself with beauty that speaks to the soul, this conversation offers fresh perspective on how the words we use create the lives we lead.

Rhiah's book recommendation:

The Power of Enough - Elizabeth Husserl

More about Rhiah:

Rhiah’s work spans from educating and mentoring others through healing and relational dynamics within family systems, as well as supporting women in cultivating their connection to their sensuality. Her passion for embodiment is expressed through dance, which has led her to pole-dance in New York, salsa in Cuba, and tango in Argentina. Though born and raised in Calgary, Canada, she has since lived around the world and now resides in Los Angeles, where she just released her debut collection of poetry called Life’s Poetic Glossary.

Mindset Coaching and Business Growth: Building Success After Overcoming Addiction Apr 24, 2025

Rock bottom has a way of becoming solid ground when you're ready to rebuild. In this powerful conversation, Austin Linney shares his extraordinary transformation from methamphetamine addiction and alcoholism to becoming a thriving entrepreneur, business owner, and mindset coach.
Austin doesn't hold back as he recounts the moment everything changed - staying awake for eight days straight on meth, seeing hallucinations, and finally receiving the wake-up call that prompted him to walk away from hard drugs forever. While his journey to total sobriety took years, his raw honesty about the process illuminates how our darkest moments can become our greatest teachers.
What makes Austin's coaching approach particularly effective is his commitment to authenticity. "One of my first mentors said it's very easy to be a coach if you're authentic to who you are... You only coach what you've been through," Austin explains. This philosophy allows him to connect deeply with clients facing similar struggles, whether addiction, divorce, or major life transitions.
The conversation explores fascinating territory beyond recovery, diving into why successful business people often have damaged personal lives, how we wear masks to please others, and why most people need permission to become who they've always meant to be. Austin shares intimate insights about his spiritual growth journey, working through childhood trauma, and preparing himself to break generational patterns as he looks toward fatherhood.

Preserving Memories: How to Archive Your Family’s Photos and Stories Apr 17, 2025

Do you have boxes of family photos you've been meaning to organize but have never gotten around to it? Or what about the photos saved onto a backup hard drive or thumb stick? Haleh Shoa, founder of Picturli, shares how they preserve our most precious memories in ways that go far beyond simple scanning.
Drawing from her personal experience archiving her own family's photos after they fled the Iranian revolution with just three suitcases of memories, Haleh reveals how proper photo archiving preserves not just images but the crucial context that makes them meaningful.
The conversation takes us behind the scenes of professional photo organization, from creating family timelines to properly organizing decades of memories. Haleh offers practical tips anyone can use to begin tackling their own photo collections: group similar media types, start with albums rather than loose photos, and understand that a typical shoebox holds approximately 1,000 photos while albums contain 300-500 images.
Beyond the technical aspects, we explore the entrepreneurial journey and wellness practices that sustain Haleh through the challenges of business ownership. She shares how gratitude, redefining success beyond financial metrics, and recognizing the value of personal wellness create a foundation for meaningful work. For anyone with boxes of memories waiting to be preserved or entrepreneurs seeking balance, this conversation offers both practical wisdom and inspiration to take action before it's too late.

Creating Aligned Abundance: Emma Mumford’s Secrets to Manifesting Success Apr 10, 2025

Have you ever wondered how someone becomes an internationally recognized spiritual guide? Emma Mumford's journey from "Queen of Coupons" to "Queen of Spirituality" delivers powerful proof that rock bottom can become the foundation for extraordinary transformation.
Emma shares her remarkable story—from taking on £7,000 of someone else's debt at age 18 to building a couponing empire with half a million followers, before experiencing a profound spiritual awakening during her darkest moments. Her candid account of suicidal thoughts turning into spiritual discovery offers hope for anyone struggling with their own challenges.
What makes Emma's approach to manifestation unique is her ability to simplify complex spiritual concepts into practical steps anyone can follow. In her latest book, "Aligned Abundance", she expands the traditional manifestation formula (ask, believe, receive) into five essential steps: ask, believe, trust, let go, and receive—addressing the critical gap between believing and receiving that trips up so many manifestation practitioners.
The conversation delves into embodiment—a crucial yet often misunderstood aspect of manifestation. Emma clarifies that it's not about "spending as if" you already have what you desire, but rather "feeling as if" and integrating the energy of your desires. This subtle but powerful distinction changes everything about how manifestation works in real life.
Perhaps most enlightening is Emma's perspective on what we're really manifesting: "It's never the money that we want. It's a feeling or experience that the money can bring us." By focusing on the emotional essence behind our desires rather than the physical form, we open ourselves to infinite possibilities for fulfillment.
Emma's new book "Aligned Abundance" explores nervous system regulation, embodiment, and alignment—three elements rarely discussed in manifestation literature but essential for sustainable results. If you've tried manifesting without success or feel stuck in patterns that block abundance, this conversation offers fresh insights to transform your practice.
Emma's Book recommendations: The Universe Has Your Back by Gabby Bernstein and Let Them by Mel Robbins

More about Emma:

Emma Mumford is the UK's leading Law of Attraction expert. She is an award-winning life coach, 3x bestselling author of her books Positively Wealthy and Hurt, Healing, Healed, Law of Attraction YouTuber, speaker and podcast host of the #1 Spirituality podcast on iTunes 'Spiritual Queen's Badass Podcast'.

The Power of Energy Healing: How Reiki Can Change Your Life Apr 03, 2025

For Lisa Labozzo, a devastating car accident transformed her from a rising corporate executive in the fashion industry to a gifted Reiki master and intuitive healer. Her story isn't just about survival—it's about discovering profound spiritual gifts amid life's darkest moments.
Lisa shares the raw details of her near-fatal accident that left her with a broken neck, severe head trauma, and on life support. Doctors performed last rites, uncertain she would survive the night. Against all odds, she did—but the journey back was arduous. Learning to walk again, swallow food, and rebuild her identity became her new reality. What emerged during this recovery period, however, was unexpected: Lisa began sensing angels, receiving intuitive messages, and developing healing abilities that couldn't be explained by conventional medicine.
The transition from corporate America to energy healing wasn't immediate or straightforward. Lisa initially questioned the intuitive experiences, wondering if they stemmed from her head injury. But as these gifts persisted and strengthened, she slowly embraced a new calling. Her Reiki practice now combines traditional energy healing with remarkable intuitive abilities—she receives guidance about emotional blockages, connects with deceased loved ones, and channels messages that provide profound clarity for clients seeking healing.
What makes Lisa's story so compelling is how she transferred her corporate drive and work ethic into building her healing practice, proving that core strengths can find expression in entirely new domains. Through her sessions, clients experience not just physical relief but emotional and spiritual breakthroughs that often seem miraculous.
Curious about energy healing or facing your own life transitions? Lisa's journey offers hope that sometimes our greatest challenges reveal our true purpose. Ready to explore the possibilities? Lisa offers both in-person and Zoom sessions, making this transformative healing available wherever you are.

For listeners of the podcast, if you mention you heard about Lisa from the podcast, you can receive a 10% discount on a Reiki session. Good until 6/1/2025

Lisa's Book Recommendation:

Signs by Laura Lynne Jackson

More about Lisa:

This is about my journey with a near-death experience, my transformation, and the new life that awaited me. I went from being a Sales Manager in the Wholesale women's shoe business to an intuitive Energy Healer with an independent practice.

Near Death to New Life: How Two NDEs Transformed a Skeptic into a Psychic Medium & Spiritual Healer Mar 27, 2025

Dr. Lotte Valentin's journey from skeptical atheist to medical medium started with two life-changing near-death experiences. After hemorrhaging during childbirth in 1992, her blood pressure crashed to 50/15, and she was pulled from her physical body while maintaining complete awareness. "You leave your body, but you're still you," she explains, comparing it to stepping out of a car—you remain the same person, just outside your vehicle.
The second NDE revealed a profound spiritual reality she hadn't previously believed in. Despite having no prior spiritual framework, Dr. Valentin witnessed angels in brilliant white light and a connecting grid around Earth (what she would later discover parallels the Buddhist concept of "Indra's Net"). This experience showed her how everyone and everything on our planet is fundamentally interconnected—knowledge that would eventually inform her unique healing approach.
These experiences ultimately guided her to pursue medical school at age 54, following clear spiritual guidance: "You have to become a naturopathic doctor, and you need the degree for the work you're here to do." Completing this challenging education in her 50s, Dr. Valentin now combines conventional medical knowledge with remarkable intuitive abilities, often receiving specific medical diagnoses from the spirit world for patients who haven't found answers through traditional healthcare.
Her work spans medical intuition, mediumship, and ancestral healing—helping people understand that many physical conditions have emotional or ancestral roots. "We are all part of Source," she explains. "We carry this light within us. We are all part of this magnificent, incredible divine source. When we are in our bodies, we have the feeling that we are separate, which is just really an illusion."
Discover how Dr. Valentin's extraordinary path might help you understand your own spiritual connections and unexplained health mysteries. Visit her website to learn about sessions, courses, and her unique approach to healing that bridges science and spirituality.

Not So Fast: A Smarter Approach to Intermittent Fasting Benefits That Last Mar 20, 2025

Imagine being free to skip meals without feeling hangry, irritable, or exhausted. What if your brain could actually function better when you're not constantly digesting food? In this eye-opening conversation with Marisa Moon, National Board Certified Health Coach and #1 ranked Intermittent Fasting Coach since 2018, we explore how fasting works as a "hormetic stressor" - similar to exercise - that triggers beneficial cellular adaptations.
Marisa shares her personal journey from struggling with undiagnosed IBS and ADHD to discovering how intermittent fasting dramatically improved her brain function. "I was like, okay, my brain needs all this blood flow, oxygen and resources and it's very demanding when I'm working. But if I'm digesting food, all this blood flow and oxygen and resources going into my GI tract and my stomach, and so no wonder, after I eat I'm checked out." This insight led her to develop the RESET method outlined in her bestselling book "Not So Fast."
Rather than diving into extreme fasting protocols that lead to misery and eventual abandonment, Marisa advocates a gradual, flexible approach that trains your body to become "metabolically flexible" instead of remaining a "sugar burner" dependent on constant carbohydrate intake. We explore how sleep quality, stress management, and dietary variety are crucial components of successful fasting, along with practical advice on what you can consume during fasting windows (hint: your coffee options are more varied than you might think).
Whether you're interested in weight management, mental clarity, or simply breaking free from constant food obsession, this conversation offers a refreshing, science-based perspective that puts you in control. As Marisa explains, "You're going to start living healthier and making healthier choices and because you get healthier, you're going to lose weight." Discover how to make intermittent fasting a sustainable, rewarding part of your lifestyle without suffering or deprivation.

Marisa's book recommendation: Beyond Mars and Venus by John Gray

Harnessing AI: A Small Business Owner's Guide Mar 13, 2025

Jackie Green, founder of Behind the Design, takes us on a fascinating discussion through the intersection of interior design, entrepreneurship, and the transformative power of AI for small businesses.
Jackie's background uniquely positions her as a guide for creative entrepreneurs – with degrees in both journalism/marketing and interior design, plus experience teaching at design school, she discovered a critical gap in business education for designers. This realization sparked her company's mission: helping design professionals build successful businesses through strategic marketing and now, AI implementation.
What makes Jackie's approach refreshingly practical is her decision-making framework. She evaluates every business opportunity through three lenses: revenue generation, visibility, and client work. This system allows entrepreneurs to filter their constant stream of "brilliant ideas" against established priorities rather than chasing every shiny object.
The heart of our conversation explores how AI is revolutionizing small business operations. Jackie candidly shares her initial "cheater's guilt" when using AI tools, before recognizing them as productivity multipliers. From QuickBooks AI auto-populating invoices to Otter AI handling meeting notes and follow-ups, these tools don't replace human creativity – they enhance it by freeing entrepreneurs from administrative burdens.
We also tackle the vulnerabilities of social media marketing. When Jackie's business got hacked on Facebook, resulting in the complete loss of her company page, group, and personal profile, it highlighted why email marketing remains the true "gold mine" for small businesses. Unlike social platforms, your email list is an asset you actually own.
For interior designers specifically, Jackie offers invaluable insights on creating lead magnets that address client pain points (like surviving a kitchen renovation) without falling into the scarcity mindset trap. As she brilliantly illustrates with the story of a plumber whose tutorial videos actually grew his business: sharing knowledge doesn't diminish your value – it establishes expertise and builds trust.
Learn more about Jackie below.

Jackie's Book Recommendation for Listeners: Worthy by Jamie Kern Lima
