Many live their lives through a background of unhappiness. While they feel okay in most moments, there’s also a general feeling of discontentment, resentment, irritation, and other negative emotions as they go about their daily lives.

While most of these feelings are subconscious thoughts that sound like, “I need or want this to happen before I can be happy or fulfilled,” or “Life is always so hard,” the stories that you tell yourself significantly impacts those background feelings and slowly become the factors that destroy your inner peace until you choose to leave the stories behind.

Today we are taking a one-on-one deep dive into what inner peace is, what many must let go of to gain it—and it’s probably deeper and different than what you think, and then we’ll take on how to know when you’ve begun to accept inner peace as your baseline center fully.

As we usher in February, many will begin to focus on the heart, on love. As you may have heard me say, love is an experience that is meant to drive us forward and help increase our overall well-being. What’s below that experience is living a heart-centered life. So, what is a heart-centered life?

It’s a life where we live our daily experiences in true alignment with our values, purpose, inner morality, personal experiences, intuition, and connecting with everything that works for us. Doing so requires that we understand some basic principles.  

That’s why I sat down with Cardiologist and Heart-Centered Living Expert Dr. Madalina Petrescu to help us understand how to live through the heart-center, how to get into coherence, and why we must allow intuitive directives to guide us; we even chat about overall health that impacts the heart, and end with the connections each of us needs to live a healthy, grounded, spiritually connected life.

We all have ups and downs, and it’s no secret that life throws hard things into our path. After all, why do you think the saying, “Bad things happen to good people,” exists? Yet, when those hard things occur, how we connect to them and how we fix our mindset plays a significant role in the moment and our overall life satisfaction. It also impacts one other major element in our lives. Can you guess what it is?

If you guessed inner peace, you are right.

So, let’s take a one-on-one deep dive into our mindsets and whether or not you play the victim in your daily life. This is an extensive conversation about identifying the small daily behaviors and habits that create the biggest divide between feeling empowered and feeling negatively impacted, I’m handing over the signs that you are living in full victim mode, and of course, we’ll be talking about how to change course from victim to victor.

Relationships are tricky, but with the right tools, any couple can thrive! You’ve likely heard of The Gottman Institute and the pioneering work of therapist John Gottman, one of the world’s leading experts on relationships, teaching therapists and couples how to best show up. With relationships adding or distracting from our own self-love and inner peace, I sat down with Gottman-trained couple’s therapist, author, and expert on love advice, Laura Silverstein, about being vulnerable, communication, the rules of engagement that every couple should know, how to fight fair, and what do if you find yourself parenting your partner!

Our conversation is full of small shifts you can put into practice today to help your relationship grow and be as healthy as possible.

we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into why the brain is always on the lookout for trouble, how to stop being hijacked in hopes of providing a false sense of safety, and we’ll breakdown how to disentangle ourselves from our earliest patterns, wiring, and our triggers.

This big conversation will shed light on why you may be causing yourself more issues than you realize!

As we focus our attention on resolutions and kicking this year’s tail, I sat down with Britt Frank, the Psychotherapist who literally wrote the book on being stuck in your life to help us see ourselves in a new light. In an open and honest conversation about triggers, feeling emotional stuck, Britt Franks shares the deep lessons she learned from her own “stuckness” from past trauma.

If you want to make this year the best year yet, you first have to identify where you are, what you want, and how you are willing to process it. This conversation kicks off the new year in a way that shows each of us anything is possible once we know where we are.

This episode is not suitable for children.

This week we’re talking about purpose, the power of social media, and what it means to be a parent with Laura from @Foster.Parenting.

If you have logged onto Tik Tok or Instagram in the last year, you’ve likely stumbled across one of Laura’s videos where she offers resources to parents around the globe, especially those who are foster parents. What started as a way to fill the gap of resources during the pandemic has turned into a global advocate platform for foster children, parents no matter birth, adopted, or fostering, a place for teachers to learn about trauma outside of the classroom, as well as ways to show up for the children in our communities and homes.

For the first time, a face and voice that millions have watched, fallen in love with, and followed shares her personal story, her why, and her deep desires for the children in her personal care and yours.

Do you struggle with procrastination? What about the lack of motivation? So many do and even identify as procrastinators. This belief can overrun our lives! It can even cause higher levels of stress, anxiety, fear, and a host of other negative feelings. This week we are taking a different approach to procrastination as we examine what these habits are at their roots and how our mindset and thinking patterns are the true culprits. From there, we’re brain hacking our way out of our full stops and onto the path of true motivation in this week’s one-on-one deep dive.

We’ve reached the end of 2022. It’s been a year of MANY things. A year of growth and loss. A year of seeking and change. A year of revolution and finding ourselves to the point where many now ask: what next?

What is next? What would your ideal life look like if you could envision come this time next year? Have you ever taken a moment to clarify what you truly want? Have you taken a moment to break down the five pillars of your life and write a vision list?

From intentionality to a life mission statement to deep diving into what you want to create in the next twelve months, we are setting ourselves up for the most tremendous success possible, which always leads us to deeper self-love and inner peace.

With two weeks left in the year, most of us lean into a natural thought process of evaluation—what went right this year, what didn’t, how we can do better, and what we want for the new incoming year. And while this focus is so prevalent, often something stops us from genuinely diving into this much-needed thought process. What is it? It’s the unwelcome holiday guests that go by the names stress, anxiety, and depression.

As we continue our series to wrap up the year, we are taking on how to prevent the end-of-the-year stress and depression this week, and then next week, we’ll uncover the correct way to write your 2023 vision as it is broken down into the fundamental areas of life.

Each of us has a set of basic human needs that must be fulfilled for us to thrive in our humanness—feeling safe is second in our primal needs on the need hierarchy. So, if I ask you what it means to be safe, most people give me an answer based on physical safety. Yet, what most people do not understand is that safety also expands into our mental, emotional, physical, and even financial pillars of life, which means that safety must be present for the well-being of our minds and emotional bodies.

As we continue our building series to close out the year, we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into what it takes to feel emotionally safe, why it’s so important to create emotional safety, and, as always, we’ll talk about how to start the process of building emotional security with a few daily practices.

True self-love and inner peace are only possible when we have the ability to see ourselves and own our experiences without deep diving into a spiral of negativity, self-doubt, and emotional dysregulation. After all, self-validation is the ability to accept our internal experiences, thoughts, and feelings.

As we continue our building series through the end of the year, we started with loneliness last week, and today, we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into self-validation. Being unable to validate our emotions, thoughts, and feelings keeps us from living an emotionally stable life, holds us in a state of perceived unworthiness, and keeps us from our emotional best.

This week we are breaking down and trashing the barriers that keep us from validating ourselves, our emotions, and our thoughts.

With the holidays here, there’s often an uptick in depression and loneliness.

So, this week we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into what loneliness is, how it smothers our self-love, the difference between being alone and feeling lonely, and how to make small shifts to release feeling this negative emotion. Sometimes it’s as simple as realizing we are not as lonely as we think.

As many as 31 million people worldwide are dealing with some form of addiction, whether it’s drugs and alcohol, food or shopping, gambling, and a host of other behaviors that disrupt their lives and change their behavior. While addiction costs many emotional, mental, physical, financial, and spiritual well-being, the impact on the caretakers is not often accounted for.

The toll is tremendous and undoubtedly works to dim our spirit and often costs us our self-love. That’s why I sat down with Dana Golden, who wrote the book on the Road to Recovery, not only the addicted but also the caretaker. We chat about everything from the emotional cost to how to take care of yourself.

There comes a time where each of us seeks true motivation to heal—a time where we work to release the baggage, the upset, the hard experiences of our lives, and reignite our inner spark. Yet, when that time comes, many of us ask how. How do I even begin to heal? This week we are taking a one-on-one deep dive into YOUR personal story, into YOUR life revolution through a process and path many of us are seeking right now—the process of emotional healing. So, sit back, grab a pen, and let’s take a mending journey together as we discover what true emotional healing is, the benefits, uncover a major “a-ha” moment, whether or not you are in need of walking through this process, and why we must get uncomfortable to thrive. Getting out of own way is necessary if we want to create the life revolution that inevitably amounts to freedom.

Can you honestly say you use your voice and live a life of yeses? Many women struggle with allowing their lives to be what they desire and deem most important.

This week I sat down with Jill Hollander, a resiliency coach who teaches women to find and use their voice. Her unique story of heart failure, a heart transplant, and surviving cancer will move and inspire you as she explains where our voice is first developed, how to be our own advocate, find our unshakable courage, and what it feels like to live a life of yes!

Are you the boss of your emotions, or are they the boss of you? The ability to experience and express your feelings is far more critical than you may realize. Learning how to develop emotional understanding and control is a fundamental part of getting your life together, practicing self-love, and it’s the only authentic way to find a steady stream of inner and outer peace. This week we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into the impact of your emotions, and then I’ll hand over a simple practice that will stop an emotional reaction in its track every single time.

What would you say if I asked you to name five things you’ve learned during your self-love journey? Could you do it?

It’s a huge question that makes most women stop and reflect. Self-love is an ongoing lifelong journey, but there are definite lessons to reflect upon because loving yourself is not something that only happens in your heart and mind; it’s also found in your actions, beliefs, and the way you show up to your mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and financial well-being and health.

This week we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into fairly universal lessons that loving yourself teaches you and how to recognize that you may love yourself a bit more than you’ve given yourself credit.

This week we continue the conversation with Emotion & Body Code Expert Jennifer Bradford in Part 2 of our dive deep into how emotions influence our daily lives. We’re taking you on a journey through understanding the subconscious and its power to release what may be trapped and what you may be broadcasting into your experiences without even realizing it. Jennifer even hands over a powerful practice that you can try today.
