Tune in, learn to remove societal expectations, and embrace your unique calling.
"What lights you up? Not what do other people expect of you. What lights you up? What makes you happy? What brings you meaning?" - Lauren (09:55).
Lauren passionately highlights the significance of self-fulfillment through a thought-provoking question: “What lights you up?” Forget about societal pressures and live on your own terms.
By embracing the things that genuinely bring you happiness and a sense of purpose, you can liberate yourself from external demands and create a life that reflects your authentic self.
"If you're somebody who doesn't wanna start until you could do it perfect, just know you could never do anything perfectly. It's a fact of nature that you can't. And so just do it. Like, this is your time right now." - Lauren (13:32).

"Wishing you live a life true to yourself instead of the life others expected of you, wishing you didn't work so hard. Nobody ever died. I mean, nobody on their deathbed ever wished they worked harder or made more money. Can't take it with you." - Lauren (19:47)
Reflecting on the most significant regrets people have on their deathbed, Lauren underscores the vital significance of living a life that aligns with their true selves rather than being shaped by others' expectations. Prioritizing personal fulfillment, relationships, and experiences can lead to a more meaningful and gratifying life.

Uncover techniques for managing emotional triggers and practicing self-compassion to release stored emotional pain.
“When we have these triggers happen, the tendency is to tense up either our physical bodies or just our energetic body. And usually, you can feel somewhere in your physical body got tense, whether your brow is furrowed or your shoulders. So then it's just relaxing your whole physical body when you have the ability to do this in the moment.” - Lisa (10:07)
Discover from Lisa how adding mindfulness and meditation into your everyday routine can help you see things differently and experience general emotional development.
“It's giving yourself compassion around your anxiety. We compound everything. We feel anxiety, and then we get mad at ourselves for feeling anxiety, or we feel, you know, like annoyed or stressed. And then it's like, what do you have to be stressed about? You should be so good. You know, it's like we compound it by judging ourselves for our negative emotions.” - Lisa (13:19)

This guidance is a game-changer for anyone feeling unfulfilled, despite ticking off all the metaphorical boxes of success. Lisa passionately emphasizes aligning your actions with what genuinely brings you fulfillment.
“It's really just, again, getting some discernment between the voices in our head like that super loud voice of our inner critic and that ticker tape that's constantly going by. We have to be able to quiet that to hear the little bit more sensitive, delicate voice behind it.” - Lisa (20:30)
Learn self-compassion techniques. Be gentle with yourself. Recognize and release negative thoughts, and practice self-compassion to overcome past conditioning and emotional pain.
“Hear the voice in your head, take some distance to, to watch the thoughts that are going by. We bring so much additional interior muck into our worlds with that voice in our heads, which goes on to create all these problems that we have out here. The whole game of whack a mole could basically be avoided if we would learn to be more compassionate with ourselves and not let our thoughts take us down all these dark roads.” - Lisa (27:55)

How does Becky help people get unstuck? She empowers them to realize that they don't need external validation to make a change. Many of us feel disempowered, lacking the agency to make our own choices. Learn how to reclaim your power and create a life that resonates with your true desires.
"I help them see that they don't need anybody else's permission to make a change " – Becky (11:12).
As a yoga teacher, Becky experienced firsthand the transformative power of this ancient practice. Yoga was her sanctuary during a tumultuous time, offering not just physical and mental benefits but also a spiritual awakening. It taught her to control her body, breath, and mind, leading to a deeper self-understanding and a realization of her potential.
"There was something about [yoga] that I couldn't quite name, but it was quiet, and I liked that enough that I was willing to sit through the discomfort of not knowing what the hell I was doing to try to do that again." – Becky, (14:46)
Tune in and discover why Becky's personal and professional experiences are a beacon of hope for many. Her insights on making guided choices from the soul rather than the ego, and the role of yoga and self-reflection in her transformation, are invaluable lessons for us all.
Remember, you are not stuck. You have the power to transform fear into freedom and to make choices that align with your soul's purpose.
“Maybe we have been doing what we're supposed to be doing for that period of time and maybe it's just time to do something different.” – Becky, (2:48).

"You have to start with getting better sleep. You have to start with drinking more water in the day. You have to start with exercising, moving the body, moving the energy." - Mike (31:31)
Hear actionable insights on how to elevate your daily routine, invigorate your mental health, and truly connect with your highest authentic truth.
Patience and self-love are not merely feel-good terms; they are the stepping stones towards your personal evolution. Mike emphasizes why embracing these virtues is crucial in overcoming life's hurdles and how they empower you to make those small, pivotal steps toward your transformation.
“And this society we live in is, it's a long journey, and it takes time, and you have to have patience, and you have to love yourself, like, more than anything because, again, people will shame themselves. Why can't I figure it out? And that's just gonna block you more. You have to love every part of yourself for wherever it is you're at and know that where you're at is perfectly timed. Everybody's exactly where they're supposed to be at this moment." - Mike (32:24)

Are you ready for a shift and to access the universe’s limitless energy? To achieve what you know you're called here to be? It’s time to ditch the self-doubt, step off the hamster wheel, and ignite your inner power.
Join Lauren Abrams as she speaks with Kelsey Aida, coach, self-love, and meditation expert. Kelsey bravely shares her journey of overcoming depression and embracing her intuition - and then guides you to do the same.
"And I was just going through a lot of grieving and somehow, like, processing all those really heavy emotions just shed so much energetic density from my body that I opened myself up to all these psychic and intuitive gifts that I had no idea that I had." – Kelsey, (2:17).
“I basically just made an ultimatum with the universe, and I was like, God, universe, whoever is out there, what’s a girl gotta do to get help?” – Kelsey, (4:09).
Reignite your passions as Kelsey teaches powerful self-compassion techniques, providing a unique perspective on manifesting for your highest good.
"So every emotion, no matter how icky or heavy it feels, has a positive message for you. But you can only access that if you're willing to go there, which is uncomfortable." – Kelsey, (16:00).
Get inspired as Kelsey shares her approach to mindfulness, gratitude, and finding the courage to pursue your dreams.
“If I can get myself out of a suicidal state, then anything is possible with this information, and it needs to be more accessible.” – Kelsey, (5:34).
With Kelsey's refreshing insights and empowering vision, you're in for an episode that will leave you feeling reinvigorated, hopeful, and ready to embrace your best self.
"So, yeah, those were the two biggest moments that shaped me into the teacher, writer, and author that I am. And it shows that, like, your best manifestations always start in contrast. Because when you're experiencing that thing that's so uncomfortable that you hate, it's giving you so much clarity, and it's shaping you into the person who can have the thing that you're asking for. There's beauty in it even though it definitely sucks when you're going through it." – Kelsey, - (13:05).
“The best place to start is “I am” affirmations. I think those are very powerful and simple.” – Kelsey, - (7:04).
Get dialed in, focused, and ready to listen to Kelsey and her incredibly inspiring journey as she gives you simple yet powerful tools to set you on a path toward renewed success and happiness!
"Not in the same way where you go to therapy and they try to fix you or diagnose you or make you feel better, but it was more just like, okay, we're just gonna be curious about this feeling. We're gonna let it happen in the body. We're gonna observe it just from the compassionate witness standpoint. We're not gonna get lost in it. We're just gonna watch it happen in the body and see what comes from that." – Kelsey, (14:50).

“Every human being on this planet is dealing with some aspect of traumatic childhoods.” – Scott, (3:54)
Listen and learn how to love and accept yourself fully and give yourself the kindness and grace you deserve. Self-love is a skill, and you get to develop that skill. Uncover the secrets of detaching from your negative thoughts and insert some curiosity and humor into your internal dialogue.
“All of us; every single human being on the planet longs to give love and receive love.” – Scott, (6:20)
"I was constantly shaming myself because I wasn't this enlightened soul instead of bringing love and grace to where I was and am. And for me, that's the essence of enough as you are." – Scott, (10:21)
You're in for a treat hearing from author Scott Stabile, suggesting practical techniques like heart-centered communications, self-love journaling, and heartfelt letter writing to different facets of yourself.
He shares vulnerable moments of his life, including the loss of his parents and leaving a spiritual community, and opens up about his path toward healing and self-acceptance. He now makes it his mission to help you reach your highest authentic truth and share your gifts without being in a constant judgy state.
“I’ve never shamed myself into healing, but have loved myself into a much more healed space.” – Scott, (13:40)

That is a war I would lose time and again my mind is adept at fighting, but I am interested in challenging my mind when it's telling me a bunch of nonsense about myself or other people, when it's trying to take me out of love for myself and other people." – Scott, (16:17)

“Tony Robbins famously says, you don't get the life you want. You get the life you're willing to tolerate. What are you no longer willing to tolerate? So if you're saying, I'm not willing to tolerate that, but it's actually in your life, you're tolerating it.” (16:57) Deborah
You also get to learn why multitasking sucks, and how to stop tolerating the intolerable. Empower yourself with this episode!

Do you pay attention to your inner voice? Do you know how to listen to that intuitive thought and what it means? Is it holding you back from becoming the incredible person you are meant to be?
Listen as Meredyth Willits helps you interpret your inner voice and shows you how to use it to unlock doors and step into the energy of creating your best life.
“Eventually our bodies become affected by those negative, trapped emotions.” – Meredyth (4:55)
You can’t hold that stuff in; it’s so bad for you. But sometimes you don't know what’s holding you back. As Meredyth explains, the universe will show you:
“I would say that there's literally nothing that's holding you back but the belief that whatever you're experiencing right now is all that there is. That you're stuck. Because when I stood in that kitchen, lonely and sad . . . not sure where my life was headed, everything changed. Everything changed in that instance when I just said, “Is this all there is?” And then the universe said, oh, let me show you, let me show you what is coming for you!” – Meredyth (16:04)
Learn how to open yourself up to possibilities in this remarkable episode. We are the people we surround ourselves with.

“I was being held back by my thoughts based on other people’s behavior.” – Meredyth (9:16)
You get to live your life to the fullest. Let your faith be your guide, and Meredyth is here helping you get the ball rolling!
“It’s difficult to make huge transitions in your life inside of the same setting.” – Meredyth (9:58)
Sometimes you have to step back to see the full picture.

Take a guess on what’s holding you back: Fear of failure? Age? Finances? These are the usual suspects, but what if you’re wrong? What if your obstacle that’s keeping the incredible person living inside from coming out… was in your home. Today, Feng Shui expert Alejandra Brady will help you understand that the things around you could be what’s stopping you from being the best version of yourself.
“I started my spiritual journey at 50 and this is what I want everyone to take home more than anything else is that it (spiritual journey) doesn’t have to happen when you’re really young and you’re never too old to pivot”. - Alejandra 2:18
Part of this process is understanding that no two journeys are alike, and, in most cases, they don’t start at the same point. Alejandra offers encouragement to be bold, own your starting place, and passionately pursue your journey; whenever, wherever, and however it reveals itself.
“When the student is ready, the teacher appears”. – Alejandra 10:10
Fulfilling your purpose has no timeline, clock, or calendar. But even though it has none of these
things, it’s there all the same. You want to be ready, receptive, and willing to move into it whenever your time comes. Listen as this episode gives tools and specific examples of how you get to align with your path.
“The path might not always be a straight path; it can be a very winding road to get to your end goal. You don’t need to know what’s at the endpoint you just need to know what your next step is”. – Alejandra 21:00
Trusting the process is a key principle of your journey. It’s yours, so commit yourself to be bold enough to trust the place it’s leading you and follow it one step at a time!

How to Awaken Your Psychic Abilities and Manifest Your Dreams with Bill Philipps
Are you ready to wake up your psychic senses and connect to the realm of Spirit? Listen as Bill Philipps teaches you how to tap into your innate intuitive abilities, trust in your higher self, and develop the skills you need to align with the life that you deserve.
“I wanted people to know their true power source, what their truth was, how to access what was in their belief system, their imagination, their intuitive nature, their connection to it all. Because as we keep moving along, we're going to need these techniques.” – Bill (16:20)
You’ll now know when you get that feeling that something is “off” that it’s an internal signal, and how to pay attention. You’re going to get to use these signals as a guidance system to manifest what you most want in your life. You will know what’s right for you. Not what someone else told you you should be doing (woohoo!).
“I would encourage them literally to sit in prayer, to sit in meditation, even if it's just sitting in visualizing the white light around you. As simple as that may seem trivial, but what it's doing is it's allowing you to sort of vibrate out into the fabric of the universe, the fabric of your ever-knowing nature.” – Bill (18:23)
Listen as Bill helps you find your superpower. He also helps you to make a change when you are afraid of taking the leap.
Walk away from this episode fully empowered knowing the universe has your back and your innate skills are activated.
“There's more good in this world than bad. And there are more people wanting to help than not. We are all connected to that grid of love and to that grid of energy. And when we're able to vibrate with that intention of giving and of being of service, we will attract that energy back to us.” – Bill (19:23)
In This Episode:
- (01:44) – When he began tapping into his spirit.
- (04:11) – Why intention setting matters.

You can manifest a life of connection and greatness - sometimes, you just need a guide to help you on your journey.
This week, author, Ayurvedic teacher, and manifestation coach Latha Jay is that guide, teaching you the steps to manifest your life of greatness. She shows you how to align with your deepest desires as well as the importance of confronting the root cause of your limiting beliefs through shadow work and how you attune to and speak to your best self.
As Lauren and Latha discuss the steps of manifesting, Latha touches on the key to powerful affirmations, the impact of being specific with your visualizations, and the importance of being attuned to your feelings and emotions.

Everyone has the capacity to manifest and create their dream life of alignment and greatness.
“And I think that really anybody can manifest anything they want. And one of the reasons I wrote this journal was so that people can understand that manifesting is innate. Everybody can do it. Anyone can do it. Everybody can do it. And I want to encourage people and empower them to do it.”

Listen as author and wellness coach, Naz Beheshti helps you process decisions, get clarity, and take that leap of faith to what you really want. As former assistant to Steve Jobs, she witnessed firsthand how to live your passion and your truth.
Naz opens up about her collaboration with Jobs, how he came to her in a dream and became the inspiration behind her book; and how her 11-month-old continues to be her daily teacher.
“Think about one thing you haven’t done that you want to do or something you have never done. Like my client who wanted to start guitar lessons. Just start doing it. Start small; don’t commit to a huge thing. Start small; see how you like it and just build from there.”
She talks about how the recent pandemic brought about a change in the attitude and perception that companies had towards their employees.
“Leaders were asking how do I connect with my employees better? We all are going through a hard time. The pandemic brought people together in a very special way. Because of all the hardships and emotional instability and unknowns that the pandemic brought. But we are all experiencing it together. We are all in a similar situation and circumstance.”
Naz reflects on her career as a wellness coach, speaker, and author to provide practical and very insightful advice on how to tackle obstacles; how her first boss and mentor Steve Jobs taught her to be the CEO of her well-being and how you can do the same.
“Steve being my first boss and my first mentor, he was the first person to show me, up close and personally, just being in contact with him daily and working in his office, what it truly meant to live your best life and live a life with passion and purpose. He truly embodied what later I trademarked, Become the CEO of your well-being.”

If you struggle connecting with people, or feel you don’t live life to the fullest because you lack confidence, or you’re afraid of getting hurt or failing, then this Confidence and Boost session is for you!
In this week’s session, I sit down with Christy, as she opens up about her struggles with being active, connecting with people, and finding a suitable partner. The Covid pandemic severely restricted her social life so much that she considers herself a roadblock or obstacle to achieving her goals.
“Once you start to walk through all your fear (because the fear is going to come); it’s just a part of the human condition. But once you walk through all that, that’s when you get fully into that 2nd phase where you start feeling better about yourself.” Lauren – (15:23)
During this episode, you’ll hear many tips and proven strategies to make sure Christy takes the right steps increasing her confidence and empowering her along the way.
“I also think having an accountability partner is really important. Somebody else that keeps you on track. I always have an accountability partner. The universe sort of always lines me up with the perfect person” - Lauren – (05:58)
When it comes to leading a fun filled life, half the battle is making up your mind and coming to terms with the fact that something needs to change. With a little determination and hard work, one would find that help comes from the most unexpected of places; something that Christy says herself, “God does meet you when you make decisions and when you push yourself forward.”
“When we want to do something, and we start taking action towards that thing, the universe rises up to meet us. I don’t know how, it just does.” Lauren – (14:35)
Listen in as me and Christy list down several key action steps that anyone can take up to get reinspired, gain clarity, boost confidence, and lead a fun filled life.
In this episode:
(00:37) – Describing a fabulous life, 6 months from now.

- Arielle Ford’s Feelingizations
You’ll hear many victims of trauma and abuse, but this one captures your heart and attention and has millions; Listen and you’ll quickly get why.
Survivors of abuse often talk about how they managed to run away or escape their abuser to save themselves. Terra Newell didn’t do that. She fought back when attacked, and managed to subsequently kill her attacker, her stepfather, in self-defense and freed her family from his reign of terror. Her case gained widespread media attention and became the basis for the Netflix TV series, “Dirty John”.
This week on 52 Weeks of Hope, Terra opens up about her road to recovery, her past relationships, how she is making an impact on people’s lives and how she copes with people continuously asking her about that incident.
“As a human, we’re actually a pack. We’re pack mentality. So it’s really important to have people in our pack. And that’s a part of survival because the more people that we have in our pack gives us greater defense against other people, and predators. That’s our natural instinct and so it’s so important to have some base lines of our natural cave man days.”.
You will hear her first-hand account of how she manages living with the last name of her attacker and her explanation about this. You will also hear her talk about healing and gaining the confidence to be free. Terra talks about her relationship with her mother and her siblings and how she resets her body to drain the negative energy and revitalizes herself to get through the day.
She gives you tools to deal with trauma as well as action steps to realize your dreams.
“Start with a plan. Getting a plan down. What is your dream? What are your desires? Really pinpointing it and then talking to other people that have those dreams, desires or maybe already established those dreams and desires. I think it’s so important to talk to others and see what it’s like.”
Further into the conversation with Terra, she provides practical and very insightful advice on how to be free and concludes with her message of hope which essentially entails that whatever trauma you are going through as a person, it will pass.
“I say, whatever trauma is happening in your life, you can always move past it. You can live with it and you can turn it around and make it a beautiful thing.”
In this episode:
- (02:18) – On being attached forever with her attacker’s name.
- (04:07) – Talking about repeating the patterns of her mother.
- (07:27) – On living in fight/flight mode all the time.

In this week’s Confidence and Clarity Boost Sessions, I’m sitting down with Christine as she opens up about her struggles with self-doubt, fear of failure, limiting beliefs, and dealing with that voice in her head from the woman she calls the Tiny Titan.

Our darkest moments often bring about the biggest growth within us.Today’s special guest understands this all too well. He is an accomplished author, and a former dancer on Broadway. Join us as we learn how you can follow your creative passion to the fullest and to turn a breakdown into a breakthrough.
This week, Lauren talks with Movement Master, Author, and Recovery Advocate, Steven Washington. Over the years, Steven has helped countless individuals navigate towards a happier, healthier life and he shares a plethora of tools to help you right now.
“There is a part of me that has this idea that once you make a decision to do something, that you have to follow through and do it. There is no such thing as changing your mind. That’s such a limiting belief and such a limiting idea that you create a prison for yourself and so I struggled with that.”
As we continued our discussion, Steven offers many useful insights and shares his own personal struggles with acknowledging and moving through shame.
“Shame needs three things to survive. Secrecy, silence and judgment. So sharing it with someone; allowing them to hear your shame, and not judge you for it hopefully will give you energy that will help you to not judge yourself so harshly.”
The conversation moves ahead with Steven explaining the ancient Chinese healthcare system called Qigong, and sharing his self-care routines and ultimately concludes with a positive message of hope that is sure to inspire anyone.
“My message of hope is to just know that you are enough. Because sometimes we feel like we are not enough because something is missing. If only we had that thing that we think is missing, then we would be enough. But actually, just as you are, broken pieces and all, you are enough.”
In this episode:
- (01:26) – How to transition from one passion to another.
- (07:06) – How to open up and ask for help and why it’s important.
- (12:30) – The importance of self care and how it boosts your body, mind and spiritual health.

- (23:37) – Talking about shame and working through it.
- (25:50) – How Steven starts his day and his self-care routine.

Ever feel like old family stuff is holding you back but you are not even sure how? Do you get the sense that there is something working against you? You are about to find out how that’s even possible and learn how to fix those negative patterns.
Listen as author and speaker, Marine Selenee explains Family Constellation therapy and how people who are hurting can use it to heal old wounds, eliminate pain and successfully move on with their lives.
“The best way to know that you are entangled with your family system is when after working on yourself week after week, month and years, you are still stuck in the same pattern. You are still repeating the same situations, and involved in the same relationship. That’s why 90% of the time, look at your story; look at your family story because that is where your answers are waiting for you. That's when you know your family is between you and your own life.”
During this healthy interaction with Lauren, Marine offers many useful insights and shares her own personal struggles of coping with loss of her best friend. At the end, she reminds us that the pain phase is not permanent and offers a message of hope.
“Whatever you are going through right now, it never lasts. We think it’s going to last forever but that’s not true at all. Everything shall pass at some point. So just trust the process.”

Welcome to the confidence and clarity boost session! This is where we figure out where you’re at in this life journey, and I make sure that you keep moving in the right direction with clarity, confidence and of course, clear action steps specifically designed for you by me.
Today, I sit down with Kyleen who has already taken crucial steps towards being confident.

For those of you new here, I’ve been offering these Confidence & Clarity Boost Sessions over the last few weeks, and needless to say, I’m enjoying these short and meaningful conversations where we push each other toward growth, balance, and healing while navigating the challenges life throws at us.
In this new Confidence & Clarity Boost Session, I’m sitting down with Gia to discuss the struggles of challenging limiting beliefs to pursue a path to show up in life with intention and purpose. Together, Gia and I visualize what she wants to see in her future and how she can begin the journey to manifest that vision.
“What you wrote is that you want a love life and to build your career…you said one of your largest obstacles is a lack of confidence and people believing in you and giving you a chance and the lack of faith that comes and goes. It sounds like you have a lot of limiting beliefs. I have a list of questions for you that when you answer them and be able to say, “Oh yeah. This is an old idea I can get rid of. This isn’t true. This is something stopping me in my path.”
- Lauren (6:19)
We break down a series of actionable steps to move through phases of growth, from combating negative self-talk to prioritizing quiet time in your day with journaling, meditating, and affirmations, to help you find your positive momentum when you’ve fallen into a negative pattern that you know you have to change to get back on the path of purposeful passion.
“Anything that follows the words “I am” is what you’re going to do. So if you say, “I am tired,” you’re going to be tired. Or, if you say, “I am so full of so much energy even though it’s 11 o’clock at night…”
Be really conscious…You have to notice that you have negative self-talk happening.” – Lauren 9:00)
In this episode:
- (0:33) What does your ideal future look like and feel like six months from now?
- (3:04) What are your biggest roadblocks to your ideal future?
- (8:00) The 3 phases to kickstarting the journey to pursuing goals with purposeful passion
- (11:08) What fills you up?
- (12:33) Here are some actionable steps to pursue a life of purposeful passion

We also talk about the power of reframing our perspective and how anything is possible if we can just take that first step forward!

“Many times our plans and dreams and aspirations are based upon things that were told to us, ‘Oh, you should do that. Or you should do this.’ But if you actually follow your heart and you do things in your life that reflect your authentic self, you'll be much, much more successful. I'm actually following my authentic self in becoming a trainer and helping people on a massive scale. I don't feel like I go to work in the morning. I feel like I'm on a mission that's much larger than myself. If you wanna follow your passions and get paid for it, be your authentic self, follow your dreams and listen to your heart. Not just to your head.” – Eric (09:56)
In this episode, Eric talks about of what got him into the gym for the first time; the important role sleep plays in our overall well-being, the value of protein-based diets, and why the gym is a magical place:
“The gym, in my opinion, is one of the last magical places in society. It's where someone can come in who's feeling diminished, disenfranchised, either upset because they feel like they're too small or upset because they feel like they're too big, and they can go through a physical transformation using the science of change, which is exercise, diet, and sleep. And through that transformation, they can emerge as a hero. They can go from normal to extraordinary right there in the gym.” – Eric (06:24)
Eric also shares his unique message of hope and why he’s optimistic about the world's future:
“The future is a very, very bright place. [The world] is very, very polarized right now, but it's prime time for someone to come along and join people together and lead them to a better place. So I have a lot of hope for the future, both in America and the world itself. … I'm very excited about the future.” – Eric (24:36)

In this week’s Confidence & Clarity Boost Session, I’m sitting down with Nalinie to discuss the obstacles that are keeping her from her dreams of travel, career clarity, friendship, and more, as well as some action steps to help her get where she dreams to be. We explore the practical importance of affirmations a few minutes a day and how to adjust how we view time with others based on what works for our lives.

– Lauren (8:03)
As a successful woman in her field, she feels immense gratitude for what has already come to her. Still, we talk about the importance of grounding yourself through journaling, meditation, affirmations, and more each day to combat the occasional imposter syndrome. Everything is possible in your life if you put in the work to manifest it. Abundance, joy, love, etc., are all around the corner once you find what lights you up!
“Think about what just lights up your insides. You’re talented in so many areas. It’s a feeling of what lights you up more than everything else.” – Lauren (22:15)

Adversity is something we all face at some point in our lives. How we respond to that adversity can crush our spirit or give us hope for a better tomorrow.
This week, author, writer, and humorist Jon Patrick Hatcher joins us to discuss how different genders handle adverse events, how to cultivate a perspective of hope when all seems lost, the benefits of connection and having a support system, and how he turned adversity in his own life into a survival manual for others who need a guiding light toward hope.
As Lauren and Jon unpack the science of anxiety, Jon touches on how perspective and connection shape how we respond to an adverse event. He believes that while everyone will face adversity, we all have the capacity to respond in a way that shifts our perspective from fear and anxiety to one of hope and balance.
“I think perspective is a beautiful thing. Having perspective - we don’t all get it. But when you have it, you’ve got to cherish that and say, “look, I’ve got this, and I’ve seen the other side. I know how things can get. I’ve got to live completely differently.”
Everyone has the capacity to shift from hopelessness to hope; you just need the right guiding light.
“Life’s unfair for all of us, which is what makes it fair for any of us.”
In this episode:
- (01:40) - Jon discusses how his book is different from other textbooks on anxiety
- (03:47) - Women vs. men: dealing with adverse events
- (05:41) - How humor can blast through anxiety and shift your perspective toward hope
- (06:40) - Jon’s journey from broken-hearted to humorous anxiety guru
- (10:27) - What are some tools we can use to deal with anxiety at the moment?
- (21:45) - Things that can trigger anxiety and quick tips for dealing with triggers
- (24:37) - Anxiety, isolation, and the struggles of staying connected in today’s world
- (30:24) - Jon talks about his hardest challenge and how he got through it
- (36:40) - Find your “why” because people need your contribution
- (39:08) - Jon’s message of hope
Guest
Author, writer, and humorist Jon Patrick Hatcher has helped hundreds of people all over the world by sharing his knowledge and research about anxiety and the different strategies we can incorporate to handle the adverse events that trigger anxiety as they arise.

We break down a series of tips, from combating negative self-talk to prioritizing quiet time in your day, to help you find your positive momentum when you’ve fallen into a pattern that you know you have to change.
“When you’re feeling any feelings, all those feelings, put your hand on your heart and say, ‘This belongs.’ It doesn’t matter what you’re feeling. It’s a really good tool for self-compassion.” – Lauren (11:56)

Today’s guest, Dr. Amanda Barrientez– AKA “The Money Healer” – joins Lauren on this week’s episode to offer you tips and tricks to begin manifesting a new sense of abundance in your life. Her beliefs about money stem from this philosophy:

“At every new level of yourself, you reach and learn new subconscious layers of your mind, and so the journey never ends. And so, for me, you know, it started with, ‘Oh, I own my power as a woman in the world, and it’s OK to be a breadwinner. It’s OK to be a money maker. It’s OK to be a powerhouse woman.’” (12:17)

Is the subliminal messaging fed to you through the media making you feel like you’re not good enough, like your skin just isn’t glowy, dewy, tight, clear, etc. enough?
The skincare market often spins a narrative that the products they sell are the key to anti-aging, hydration, a glossy appearance, etc. But the truth is that these products have little to do with what our bodies actually need. In this episode of 52 Weeks of Hope, dermatologist and author of The Skincare Hoax, Dr. Fayne Frey, joins me to break down how to know what your body requires, understanding these cues, and how consumers can approach the variety of products that are available.
“What do consumers do? They’ve gotta get educated. They’ve gotta understand these little nuances. It will totally change the way they purchase products.” (8:21)
We also talk about the importance of applying sunscreen every day because protection is key! As long as your skin is moisturized and protected, you’re doing your body a huge favor and simultaneously slowing the aging process. Lastly, she discusses the process of writing her recent book and the message she wants to send individuals across the globe.
“I always tell women to look in the mirror and say these four little words, ‘Dear me, I’m awesome.’” (23:40)
In this episode:
- (1:34) The catalyst that fueled Dr. Frey’s recent book
- (5:13) How to become an informed consumer
- (8:30) Understanding what your body needs

Dr. Fayne Frey is a New York-based dermatologist that has been practicing for over 30 years. Her mission is to serve others, specifically women, in her area on their mission to give their body what it actually needs. After writing her book, The Skincare Hoax, she’s also trying to help others understand the skincare market and why marketing may be keeping you stuck in the cycle of buying products that won’t have the results you’re ultimately looking for.

How do we remain open and available to the possibilities that life has to offer us?
It’s a question that we all fight to understand and unravel for our growth and transformation at one point or another. In today's episode, inspirational speaker, bestselling author, and self-help coach Kute Blackson is here to share how he embodies this vulnerability and openness.
"When we dare to follow our soul, when we follow our soul without compromise, I really believe that we will always end up in the right place and we’ll always be guided in the right path even though the route that we take may not be the one we most expect…” (7:22)
When Kute was growing up in Ghana, he was surrounded by the power of spirituality through his father’s role as the head of a collection of churches across the area; by the time he turned 14, he was ordained as a minister and on track to take over his father’s position. Although he has a huge heart for helping and supporting others, he knew his purpose was calling him away from Ghana and from the world he had always known.
“These great people, they all at some point, they surrendered themselves. They surrendered themselves to life. They surrendered themselves to a purpose bigger than themselves… In that surrender, they transcended their own human limitations… and they tap into another dimension of true potentiality, and life was able to use them…” (17:57)
Today, he discusses his journey to Los Angeles, writing his famous book The Magic of Surrender, how we can encourage our growth and transformation, and how he supports others on their unique journeys.
“Each and everyone of us has the power and the control to change ourselves.” (42:05)
In This Episode:
- (1:16) Kute shares his upbringing and journey to Los Angeles
- (11:23) How The Magic of Surrender came to be and what “surrender” means
- (24:03) How we can encourage growth and transformation in ourselves
- (31:21) The practice of creating time for yourself
- (32:29) Kute shares how he moved through his greatest challenges
- (38:43) Kute Blackson’s message of hope

- You Are The One
How do you align your energy when things are feeling a bit off in your home, your relationships, and maybe your life as a whole?
Mother/daughter duo Pamela Abbott-Mouchou and Lauren Bragg, founders of The Feng Shui Collective, know how common this sentiment is, and that’s why they built a business to help people realign and refine the energy in their space.
“Feng shui is all about change. It’s about creating the change that you want to see in your life, and what we like to say is, ‘It’s a tool where you can be the architect of change in your life as opposed to always being the victim of circumstances.” – Lauren Bragg (3:52)
Through the art and science of feng shui, Pamela and Lauren encourage others to shake things up and shift perspectives by moving furniture, decluttering spaces, removing things that hold negative energy, and more. Everything has an energy, and they believe in paying attention to the influence material things have on us.
“Your spaces not only reflect you; they affect you.” – Pamela (6:28)
Their mission is one of an outward and inward nature, and they are embarking on an expedition to equip everyone with the tool that is feng shui.
“Feng shui is for everybody.” – Pamela (39:03)

We all lead busy lives. With careers to think about, kids to raise, bills to pay, friends to spend time with, and more on our plates, we sometimes forget to practice gratitude.
But today’s episode is all about offering you tips to make practicing gratitude a part of your everyday life and how a tiny shift can enact big change!
“When you are grateful, it raises not just your vibrational frequency, it raises the dopamine in your brain, and it’s tied to a greater happiness.”
A huge part of cultivating gratitude is pouring into the people we love, celebrating their accomplishments, and showing up when they need a helping hand or an understanding ear. When we play an active role in the lives of others, our sense of gratitude is magnified. If you listened to the episode about friendship a few weeks back, you know that being in relationship with others is truly one of the most human things we can do.
“People want to feel known and seen. That’s what you really want… And in order to do that, you have to have relationships with people. You have to be vulnerable. And when you have that, that’s when gratitude comes about.”
Whether you want to exchange gratitude lists with friends, speak out your gratitude throughout the day, or write a letter of gratitude to yourself, it is certainly something to be shared with others. Speak it into existence, celebrate every joy, and always remember that your unique existence has the potential to bring immense good to the world.
“Let your gratitude be known. Don’t hold it in. Share your gratitude, or at least write yourself a gratitude letter. Do something to share the gratitude…”
In This Episode:
- (0:35) Diving into gratitude
- (2:27) The proven benefits of gratitude
- (3:25) How you can practice being grateful
- (8:55) Flexing that social muscle
- (13:58) Step outside your comfort zone, give yourself grace, and enjoy the journey
- (16:04) Celebrate the people in your circle and live out your unique life

Creativity and curiosity go hand in hand, and today’s guest lives out this philosophy in his personal life as well as his business endeavors.
Speaker, creator, host of How to Human podcast, and single father Sam Lamott is no stranger to the depths and challenges that come with addiction, mental health struggles, and loneliness. After spending ten years addicted to meth and then emerging from that addiction with a lot to learn about life in his early 20’s, he has built a big and beautiful life for himself, and he’s on today’s episode to share some of his journey.
“I’ve worked really hard to acknowledge the pain and hardship that I’ve been through and also not let it become some ‘Get Out of Jail Free’ card that I carry around with me anytime I’m not behaving as my spirit would want me to behave, that the highest version of myself dreams for me.”
As we dive into discussing some of what Sam learned from the darker seasons of his life and the challenges that he faced, he also shares some of his personal and professional victories and accomplishments that have come in the last few years. His journey ultimately tells a story of community, discipline, perseverance, and an adherence to the belief that we are humans with valuable things to offer the world.
“I think our feelings are clues, and your job is to be a detective. And really what your job is is to figure out how you can be the most you you can be. So my job everyday is to be the most Sam I can be and really to try and capture and honor my Sam-ness and express that in the world.”
Sam truly believes in the practice of gratitude and the gift of curiosity. Life can be tragic, but it can also be beautiful, rich, and full.
“Gratitude is a great practice. It definitely helps to focus on what’s going right.”
In This Episode:
- (1:02) Introduction to Sam
- (1:39) Why no one is more curious about being a human being than Sam
- (5:54) Sam’s podcast and significant episodes

- (19:42) The struggle against negative self-talk
- (23:17) Structure, routine, and journaling
- (24:01) The importance of community

Guest
Sam Lamott is a speaker, single dad, college drop-out, entrepreneur, and ex-meth addict who came out of a ten-year bender at the age of twenty-two with severe clinical depression, a two-year-old, and a lot of life skills to learn. Sam lives his life by the philosophy that there is nobody more genuinely curious about how to be a human being than him and that gratitude will take you a long way.

Strangers are just friends waiting to happen, and building connections is the most natural thing we can do as humans.
This week, New York Times bestselling author, professor, and psychologist Marisa G. Franco joins us to discuss finding the beauty and value in friendship, how to cultivate these platonic relationships, the positivity that can come from developing a community, and how she found healing when she began to look beyond romantic relationships and instead started to prioritize friendship.
As Lauren and Marisa unpack the science of connection, Marisa touches on the art of nurturing deeper connections and how to work through the fear that can often come when we open ourselves up to others. She believes the connections we build support everything – our health, our motivation, our work, and our sense of who we are – and wants to equip individuals with the tools to move past that initial discomfort.
“When we're vulnerable, we underestimate how positively people perceive us. And it's also true with affection. When we share affection toward people, we underestimate how much they like it, overestimate how awkward it is. When we reach out to a friend to reconnect, we underestimate just how much they'll value it. When we say ‘no’ to someone, we overestimate how negatively they'll respond to it. So you know, across the board we see that generally the world is safer than our brain is telling us and that our brain tends to remember all these negative experiences and ignore all of the positives.”
Everyone has the capacity to develop intimate and steadfast friendships that enrich the quality of our lives, and Marisa is here today to support you on that journey!
“For friendship to happen, someone has to be brave, so be brave!”
In this episode:
- (01:04) - Making friends as an adult
- (04:30) - Examining the expectations around romantic love and friendship
- (06:26) - The Liking Gap and fear of rejection
- (09:47) - How your friendships shift in different seasons of life

Guest
Professor and speaker Dr. Marisa G. Franco has helped dozens of people all over the world by sharing her knowledge and research about friendship and the different relationships we build in our lifetime. As the New York Times bestselling author of the book Platonic, she carefully digests the science of connection and brings platonic relationships to the foreground by leveling the hierarchy between romantic love and the friendships that we form. Her works have been featured in major outlets like Psychology Today, Scientific American, and The New York Times.

Trauma is an emotional response to a negative event. The effects of trauma can be overwhelming and difficult to understand and heal from. Oftentimes, coping from trauma can be difficult. But coming to realize that you need healing is the first step in recovery.
Today’s guest, Elena Breese, survived the Boston Marathon terror attack. As someone who has been through such a traumatic event, Elena learned and discovered that healing does arrive–it just takes time.
“Oh, it took time. I think the most important part of it was just being open-minded enough to be willing to try. Although it didn't feel fast when I was going through it because I just, I've tried everything and I continue to try things and I'm so grateful that I live right now when so much money and research and dedication is going into mental health.”
In this episode, Elena talks about letting go of the things that are holding you back, the joy in “looking up”, and learning that life has so much more to offer despite the chaos.
“Ok. Well I think, I think it's important to have many different things that you can reach for, because anyone who has anxiety, depression or PTSD knows that a tool will work for a while and then it won't be as effective anymore.”

- (1:07) - The trauma of the Boston Marathon terror attack
- (2:46) - The beginning of healing
- (6:02) - Learning about your triggers

Losing creative momentum happens even to the best of us. We start a project and stow it under the table, we say we’d work on it later and before we know it, we've altogether lost the energy to get back to it.
Today’s guest, Jacob Nordby, has been on that same creative quicksand. As someone who has struggled in finding their footing, Jacob found a way to emerge from that trap. He shares with us that being creative is very much the same as being alive, and that to live is to create.
“Creativity is the life force that's within each of us. And if we look at it that way, it's meant to run through every part of our life. Just like blood runs through all of our veins, or sap runs through every branch and twig of a tree. And when we start to see it that way, we can begin to take back the power of creating artful lives. You know?”
In this episode, Jacob shares with us how to live our dreams and find that creative spark again. He also teaches us to embody our unique creative identity and to always be hopeful for the future.
“What is very rarely asked is, what is true inside of me? Who am I? And so, if you think about a caterpillar that turns into a butterfly or an egg that eventually becomes an eagle or something, a caterpillar never transforms into an eagle. A caterpillar only becomes what is already in its design.”
In this episode:
- (1:16) - Overcoming life’s challenges
- (7:24) - How to be your unique creative self
- (11:10) - Jacob’s three-step creative process
- (12:39) - Understanding the creative transformation
- (16:58) - Creating the life you want to live
- (19:39) - The hardest challenge Jacob has overcome
- (22:08) - Learning how to listen to ourselves
- (25:21) - The importance of slowing down
- (27:01) - Focusing on consistency over energy
- (32:52) - Jacob’s unique message of hope

They say “a jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.” This rings true for this week’s guest, Jennie O’Connor. Oftentimes, we’re told to focus on one thing only, but Jennie challenges that by being ‘multi-passionate’.
Jennie O’Connor, self-confessed creative fairy godmother, helps leaders and squirrel-brained entrepreneurs in clarifying their million-dollar ideas. She joins us in this episode to teach us the importance of being intentional with our goals and how we spend our energy.
“It's about being intentional. I think that especially women in today's society have this belief that we have to be nice. Like that's the number one thing that everybody expects of us. And that means saying yes to too many things. Elizabeth Gilbert brings up a really good point. She says it's not about saying no to the things that you don't wanna do, it's actually about saying no to a lot of things that you do want to do because what you most want to do is most important.”
In this episode, Jennie also talks about shutting down our inner critics and refining our creative voices. She emphasizes the power we hold within ourselves and the value of finding an effective system that works for you.
“What I have found that works best for me, and I agree that the reason I've had to try out all these other systems to see if they work is because everyone sort of needs their own unique system. And I do work with people to help them create the one that works for them.”
In this episode:
- (01:11) - Defining “multi-passionate”
- (03:28) - Honing in on your superpower
- (5:42) - How to create time
- (11:17) - Taking that leap of faith
- (14:48) - Silencing your inner critic
- (16:03) - Mastering time management
- (16:46) - Jennie’s 5 Priorities System
- (18:33) - Overcoming fear and insecurity
- (23:02) - Emerging stronger from life’s challenges
- (27:02) - Jennie’s unique message of hope

Are your dreams just sitting within your perceived realm of possibility, or are you expanding it? Oftentimes, we are held back from our full potential because we feel we aren’t capable or great enough to pursue our goals.
Former Tesla executive turned podcasting CEO, Billy Saleebey, joins us today to tell you that you have everything it takes to achieve greatness by simply putting one foot in front of the other.
“So step number one could be a micro step, the smallest step you could possibly imagine. And that's okay. And then the third thing I would say is get someone in your life. Who's going to hold you accountable to doing those steps. You share your vision with them as detailed as possible. And by the way, the vision, you keep adding more details. You keep adding more, making it more real in your mind, making each step something that you can actually visualize yourself doing.”
In this episode, Billy also talks about co-founding Podify – a podcasting company that helps podcast shows scale and reach their respective goals; leading with purpose and empathy, and the importance of believing in yourself.
“Connection is the window to happiness. Yeah. If we don't connect and I mean really connect with other people, it's gonna be hard to find happiness. There's so many things that happen in our lives, obstacles, challenges, valleys, and also the high points. And if we don't have people to experience all of those things with, life becomes lonely and life becomes very challenging. I look at my life and I think to myself, how fortunate I am to have grown up with parents who taught me the power of connection.”

- (01:00) - How Billy leaped from being a Tesla exec to podcasting

What do you do when you feel yourself slowing down – not just mentally, but physically? How can women over 35 set themselves up for a lifetime of good health? And what should gym newbies know about working out?
Today’s guest, known as “Eric the Trainer,” is Eric Fleishman – fitness guru and personal trainer to some of Hollywood’s biggest names. He’s been instrumental in the physical transformations of celebs like Ethan Suplee and Kirstie Alley – and he joins us today to share his story of hard work, gratitude and service.
“Many times our plans and dreams and aspirations are based upon things that were told to us, ‘Oh, you should do that. Or you should do this.’ But if you actually follow your heart and you do things in your life that reflect your authentic self, you'll be much, much more successful. I'm actually following my authentic self in becoming a trainer and helping people on a massive scale. I don't feel like I go to work in the morning. I feel like I'm on a mission that's much larger than myself. If you wanna follow your passions and get paid for it, be your authentic self, follow your dreams and listen to your heart. Not just to your head.” – Eric (09:56)
In this episode, Eric talks about how being a late bloomer nicknamed “Squeaky” got him into the gym for the first time, the important role sleep plays in our overall wellbeing, the value of protein-based diets, and why the gym is a magical place:
“The gym in my opinion is one of the last magical places in society. It's where someone can come in who's feeling diminished, disenfranchised, either upset because they feel like they're too small or upset because they feel like they're too big and they can go through a physical transformation using the science of change, which is exercise, diet, and sleep. And through that transformation, they can emerge a hero. They can go from normal to extraordinary right there in the gym.” – Eric (06:24)
Eric also shares his unique message of hope, and why he’s optimistic about the future:
“The future is a very, very bright place. [The world] is very, very polarized right now, but it's prime time for someone to come along and join people together and lead them to a better place. So I have a lot of hope for the future, both in America and the world itself. … I'm very excited about the future.” – Eric (24:36)

Over our first 100 episodes, we’ve heard so many stories of perseverance, tenacity, compassion and faith. Guests like David Romanelli, Emily Thiroux Threatt, Melissa Hughes, Karen Gamba and more have shared such inspiring stories and powerful messages of hope.

Ever wish you could quit your job and sell your house to live on a boat and run your dream business?
For most of us, it’s just a fantasy – but for coach, mentor and video marketer Jim Palmer, it’s real life.
In 2016, following a termination at work and a cancer diagnosis, Jim, his wife and their four kids decided to follow their dreams – by selling their home in Philadelphia and moving onto a house boat.
Living his dream lifestyle and running his dream business, Jim now teaches others how to do the same.
Today, Jim joins me to talk about saying yes to your dreams, why working with a coach can be invaluable, strategies for success he provides to his clients, and why perfectionism holds you back.
“There's an expression: Perfectionism or perfectionist is a label you wear. So it doesn't have to be your fault. In other words, what holds most people back from kind of pulling the trigger, launching, writing, publishing, whatever is, ‘I'm afraid of what people will say if it's not perfect.’ People become worried. … Make a decision as an entrepreneur, author, coach, speaker, whatever, just choose that you wanna be judged on the information that you share and not the imperfect way in which you share it. I've told so many of my clients that, and they're like, wow, that really works.” – Jim (08:47)
Jim also shares his techniques for overcoming challenges, and talks about how he helps other small business owners and entrepreneurs create their own dream lives.
“I believe that everybody is here for a reason. I believe we're here to serve each other. I think everybody has a God-given skill or talent. So you can either just use that in your private life, or if you happen to use that skill or talent and make it a business, become a small business owner. That's good too, because when you fully take control of your life – and that's what I mean by the dream business dream lifestyle – the best way you can control your own life and destiny is to actually create it yourself, create your own economy, create your own future.” – Jim (27:47)

When our path is no longer spiritually fulfilling, we must pivot to something that is.
Today’s guest is former bodybuilding champion Dani Reardon, whose intense spiritual journey is the result of pivoting from professional bodybuilding to yoga, energy work and starting her own company, Conscious Champion.
“My nickname was Little Monster Star. People didn't even know me by Dani. They just knew me by like my tagline and through Instagram and stuff. They're like, I didn't even know your name. And so I didn't even know how much my identity was fully in the bodybuilding world until I left. And I was just like this scared, naked out in the world, ‘who am I’ kind of person?” – Dani (09:20)
In this episode, Dani shares how competitive bodybuilding eventually led her to a new path towards spirituality, the dark night of the soul she endured to find her true identity, and how our perspective shapes the way we perceive dark and light in the universe.
“One of my favorite quotes by Albert Einstein is , ‘Do you believe you live in a friendly or a hostile universe?’ And I believe I live in a friendly universe, even if hostile things happen to me. It's a lesson, it's here to teach me and help me grow and evolve. It's my school at that moment. And so I think it's about our perspective.” – Dani (16:18)
Dani also shares the message of hope she learned during her journey to find herself, and discusses why we are more than our physical forms:
“For people out there who are maybe struggling with body image issues, or even the voices in their head, you're not either of those things. You're not the body. You're not the mind. And I know because I've achieved greatness with both of those and it still wasn't me, still wasn't who I was. Who you are is so much more vast and so much more infinite and energetic and connected to everything.” – Dani (25:49)

Today’s guest Karen Gamba has endured challenges most of us can’t even imagine. Growing up in South Africa during apartheid, Karen eventually came to the U.S. and built a successful career in corporate America.
But when she realized a corporate career didn’t feed her soul, she took on another challenge: leaving the security of her longtime 9 to 5 to start not one but two companies – PR agency ExV Agency and nonprofit Women Building Women.
In this episode, Karen shares how she found the strength to follow her true calling, the ways in which apartheid shaped her desire to help marginalized women through Women Building Women, and how she found her joy.
“So often we just stay in a life and a lane that just doesn't fuel us. I often speak about the fact that I know so many people whose bank accounts might be running over, but their souls are empty and they just feel so depleted and sad and finding that happy medium of, you know, of course you want success. You want to put bread on the table. You want to support your family and live a comfortable life. But if you are not there in body, mind and soul to be a part of that journey because you're so depleted from a job or a career that doesn't fuel you, then what is the point?” – Karen (01:41)
Karen also talks about the role of vulnerability in pursuing your dreams, how to start listening to that little voice of change, and shares her unique message of hope.
“You just keep going. And the universe starts meeting you and everything starts showing up to match what it is you wanna do. And it all just starts showing up. It just does. Everything is happening for your highest good. The future is friendly.” – Karen (29:19)

Today’s guest Dominic Zenden has a unique ability – to see a person’s aura. He’s been doing it since childhood and has used his gift in every aspect of his life, from working in the prison system to helping people find their best match based on looking at color photographs.
“I think that we can all do it. It can be a new thing for the world to be able to understand that we all have this AIC field, this energy, this frequency, this vibration that is working with us and we can all do it. So why aren't we aware of it? It's something that as soon as we become aware of it, it becomes real. And there's nothing better than personal experience to make something come real. And that's really what I'm about.”
In today’s episode, Dominic talks about how he discovered his gifts as a child, how he works from photographs, how you can use energy and consciousness to manifest your best life, what time is and isn’t, and more.
“I think that everyone should live with the gratitude for everything that they have in their life, whatever it is because everything that we go through is there designed to help us understand something, whether it's a good situation or whether it's a difficult situation, it's there for us to actually grow and develop and realize the gratitude of life should be your hope. Watching the birds sing in the morning should be your hope. Looking at your children, grow and become amazing. Adults should be your hope. There's so much there that shows you that life is about hope. And so if you want to feel hope, just look around you.”

Do you really, truly, deeply feel your emotions? Or do you try to stuff them down and ignore them?
Today’s guest, certified IM Trainer and lifelong educator Michelle Windmueller, tried therapy and medication, but didn’t fully experience her emotions until after retirement, when she began meditating for the first time.
“I was so grateful to my first meditation teacher just for saying to me that every emotion is okay, even rage is okay. It's just okay. Feel it as an emotion. What did I learn is it would last, what 90 seconds, if I didn't feed it with a story. And so I stopped feeding my emotions with stories and I just felt them. And they dissipated what emerged was a sense of peace that I had never, ever experienced in my entire life. And that's what I teach people today. I want people to feel that sense of peace without running a marathon, ‘cuz I know the endorphins will happen, but meditation can give you that same kind of high, that same sense of serenity.”
In this episode, Michelle shares how discovering meditation helped her cope with trauma, infertility, strengthened her marriage, and helped her feel a new sense of peace.
She also discusses her journey to becoming a certified IM Trainer, her work as a mindfulness teacher, the power of intuition and the importance of allowing yourself to feel your emotions.

Nobody knows you better than you know yourself. In Qigong, a holistic classical Chinese approach to health and wellness, this idea is known as “the superior doctor” – and today’s guest, healer and teacher Chris Shelton, tells us how we can each become our own superior doctor.
“We have a saying that the superior doctor is one that could prevent disease before disease sets in. The great thing about Qigong is that it creates an awareness within yourself to where you become your own superior doctor. So our big mission is self-empowerment.”
Chris found Qigong after a difficult childhood, multiple heart attacks and a painful back injury that left him feeling hopeless. In this episode, he shares how classical Chinese medicine changed his mind, his outlook, and his life – and how it could change yours, too.
“The style of Qigong that I teach is for your mental, emotional wellness, because according to classical Chinese medicine, the leading cause of death and disease besides poor diet is emotional trauma. And what's amazing is that when I see a patient in clinic, I have so many tools to diagnose or assess the situation. I could take their pulse. I could look at their tongue just like the acupuncturists, but one of the favorite things I like to do is look at a person's face. And every feature on a person's face tells me a story of how the person thinks – what kind of trauma that they've been through, their personality.”
Chris also shares his journey as a healer, how he’s seen people change their lives with Qigong and tai chi, where the body stores trauma and his message of hope.
“Even in the darkest hour, always hold onto that little glimmer of light because the light will always outshine the darkness. Don't get caught up into the negativity, look at the light and you be that beacon of light because in order to create change, you have to change yourself. And how do you change yourself? You change your paradigm for which you think. So in order for you to be that beacon and light, yes, educate yourself. Be aware of what's going on in the world, but be that beacon of light and be mindful over what you think.”
In This Episode
- (01:05) What Qigong and tai chi are
- (03:31) Chris’ story, his journey as a healer and how he became a tai chi master
- (08:20) Reducing stress and pain by tapping into your chi
- (12:31) Breathing through stored trauma

Nobody gets through life unscathed, especially these days. What we need to get through the darkness is the promise of light.
So I interviewed a huge variety of very different people, all from unique backgrounds and beliefs – from rabbis to doctors to storytellers and everyone in between – and asked them what they’d gleaned from just living life.
I noticed their messages had certain things in common – overarching messages of hope that I’ve compiled into what I call The Meaning of Life.
In these messages you’ll hear people talk about their deepest struggles, self-doubt, despair – but you’ll also hear them share about what got them through those times. Self-compassion. Gratitude. Resilience.
And above all, hope.
So join me in this episode as we discover The Meaning of Life together.

How can we find the strength to persevere through darkness? Is holding on through adversity worth the struggle? How can we find our purpose when times are hard and faith is low?
Today’s guest, entrepreneur, influencer and business coach Melissa Hughes, inspires us with her story of finding purpose and establishing a wildly successful career after losing her job, postpartum depression, struggling through the pandemic with two small children and living overseas.
“I felt like my faith was really like being restored in the sense of knowing like, we go through hard things,” Melissa says. “It really kind of showed me that just because you go through a valley season doesn't mean that, you know, you're a bad person or you failed or anything like that. It just means that you're living a very profound life, you know? And being able to go through something hard and come out through it is a profound life.”
In this episode, Melissa shares how her faith fueled her journey to success, the importance of hope, and how you can find your purpose even – and especially – in darkness.
“The thing that carried me is the hope, you know, even when I was in the middle of questioning my faith and everything like that,” Melissa tells us. “There was still that hope that I know that somehow all of this is not gonna be wasted, but it's gonna be used for something always, always. [My story] encourages people that if you're really, truly in a dark, truly dark place, that hope is not lost.”
