What does it really take to find your voice, build something that matters, and stay well while you do it? Hannah sits down with entrepreneur and podcaster Sarah Barnes-Humphrey to trace a vivid arc from family-run logistics to leading two shows and a nonprofit that funds diverse voices on global stages. Along the way, we get honest about the messy middle—rebranding under pressure, learning new skills overnight, and letting imperfect audio ship because intention beats polish.

The heart of this conversation is self-worth as a living practice. Sarah shares how using your voice, creating safe spaces, and staying curious can turn setbacks into leverage. We explore human design as a lens for honoring differences without shame, and we reframe productivity through cycles, seasons, and capacity. Instead of chasing perfect, we celebrate progress: 40 percent today, 60 percent tomorrow, and permission to call both a win. That shift lowers burnout risk for creators, founders, and leaders who want sustainable growth.

Join us, then tell a friend who needs the nudge. If this resonated, follow the show, leave a review, and share the episode with a leader who’s ready to trade perfection for progress. Your voice, used consistently, is the strategy.

Your body already knows what season it is—and it’s asking for warmth, steadiness, and a gentler rhythm. We sit down with breath worker and Ayurvedic counselor Brett Aldrich to unpack how the five elements and three doshas can guide everyday choices as we move from winter’s dry winds to spring’s heavier, wetter mood. Instead of chasing trends or rigid plans, we dig into why agni (your digestive fire) is the quiet engine behind energy, mood, and immunity—and how warm water, cooked food, and the right spices can keep it strong.

We move from first principles to the plate: brothy soups that hydrate, mineral-rich vegetable stock with seaweed, tender root vegetables, and the smart addition of bitter greens as days lengthen. Brett breaks down the pungent taste—ginger, black pepper, mustard seed, and a careful pinch of cayenne—to lift kapha heaviness without overwhelming pitta heat. We talk practical swaps like trading iced drinks for spiced tea, choosing a larger midday meal when digestion peaks, and using cardamom or cinnamon in warm milk for evening calm. If you’ve wondered whether online dosha quizzes are helpful, we compare quick checks to working with a practitioner and share how to listen for your body’s real-time signals either way.

This conversation is grounded, kind, and immediately usable. Whether you’re feeling wired and cold or heavy and foggy, you’ll leave with a short list of foods, spices, and movement ideas that meet you where you are. We also explore mindful eating—starting digestion before the first bite through smell, touch, and pace—and simple rituals to come back to yourself when life turns loud. If seasonal living, nervous system care, and better digestion sound good, hit play, try one change this week, and tell us what shifts for you. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs soup season, and leave a review to help others find the show.

What if leadership had nothing to do with your title and everything to do with how you show up? We sit down with leadership coach and author Bill Goodwin to reframe leadership as influence. Bill’s story of a near-death experience catalyzed his framework, Priority Living, and his practical take on purpose: give the best of what you have to help others.

We dig into the building blocks of purpose—your natural advantage, acquired skills, pull passions, and origin strengths—and why clarity precedes peace and success. Bill explains how purpose doesn’t flip, it evolves, shifting audiences and vehicles as your capacity grows. We connect that evolution to mindset and the body, from breathwork that widens your window of tolerance to small reps that expand what you believe is possible. Expect vivid stories: holding your breath longer than your mind thinks you can, breaking a board by aligning belief and form, and the power of simple phrases like “I believe in you” and “I’m proud of you.”

By the end, you’ll have a felt sense of alignment as calm, steady motion—not stillness—and a set of tools to lead yourself first: choose priorities, schedule around them, grow your lid, and serve others with your best. If you’re looking for leadership development, personal growth strategies, purpose clarity, and capacity-building practices you can apply today, this conversation delivers.

Loss doesn’t only arrive as a funeral—sometimes it looks like the life you planned but didn’t live, a dream that quietly expired, or a version of yourself that never showed up. With author and grief coach Marcia Earhart, we open a wider door to grief and talk about how to move through pain without letting it swallow your future. Marcia shares the story behind her book, Gripping Grace In The Garden Of Grief, and the practices that helped her feel deeply, release safely, and still choose joy.

We dig into the difference between grieving with hope and being consumed by despair, and the subtle signs that grief is starting to define your choices. Marcia breaks down practical tools: crying and vocal release without causing harm, journaling to God, movement as medicine, and thought hygiene that supports the nervous system.

Marcia also introduces the Sterling Rose Sanctuary, a nonprofit serving clients online across the U.S. and abroad, integrating heart-healing, trauma-informed coaching, and brain health strategies. From parts work to art and music therapy to nutrition that calms inflammation, the focus is whole-person care that helps you return to joy more steadily. If you’ve ever felt “lonely” but not alone, or worried that feeling emotion would break you, this conversation offers grounded hope, language for your experience, and next steps you can take today.

If this resonated, share it with someone who needs it, subscribe for new episodes, and leave a review to help others find the show. Your story matters—and you can breathe, create, and live again.

Menstruation should feel safe, informed, and comfortable—not confusing or compromised. That’s why we sit down with entrepreneur Arielle Loupos to unpack the journey behind Flower Girl, the period underwear brand she built after years of discomfort with disposables and frustration with flimsy materials. What starts as a personal story opens into a bigger conversation about research gaps, harmful chemicals, and how our culture learned to treat periods like a problem to hide rather than a cycle to honor.

We dig into how period underwear is engineered: a breathable top layer that keeps you feeling dry, an absorbent core that manages real flow, and a waterproof base to prevent leaks. Arielle explains how she sourced PFAS-free fabrics, tested durability for hundreds of washes, and designed coverage that’s protective without bulk. We contrast underwear with pads and cups, talk about silicone safety, and explore why many products on the market still miss the mark. The kicker? A 2024 study found heavy metals—including lead and arsenic—in multiple tampon brands, both organic and non-organic, underscoring the need for better standards and transparency.

There’s also a mindset shift here: your period is a monthly report card. Color, flow, and consistency offer real health clues—insights you can actually see when you’re not plugging or hiding the process. We talk about simple care routines (rinsing in the shower is a game changer), eco-friendly habits, and the small rituals that transform shame into respect. From the history of tampon marketing to the power of slowing down during menstruation, this conversation blends science, design, and a fuller understanding of cyclical living.

If you’re ready to rethink menstrual care with safer materials, lower waste, and more body literacy, you’ll leave with practical steps and a fresh perspective. Subscribe for more grounded conversations, share this episode with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help others find the show.

Ready to trade brittle resolutions for change that actually sticks? We sat down with Dr. Karen Parker to unpack human design as an instruction manual for life—one that teaches you how you are, not what you are. Instead of forcing habits on January 1, we explore timing, identity, and the human design new year as a better container for intention and growth.

We dig into strategy and authority in plain language. Dr Karen shows how asking what you truly want—and why—exposes band-aid goals that drain you and brings the real dream into view. From there, identity work becomes the engine: becoming the person with enough self-worth, capacity, and trust to hold the vision while the how unfolds through aligned opportunities.

We go beyond the chart to include ancestry, epigenetics, and lived experience, revealing how inherited patterns and unmet needs shape the story you tell yourself. Dr Karen shares her research demonstrating that disempowering narratives lower IgA—an immune marker—while creatively rewriting the same story restores immune function toward baseline. Language matters. The throat center’s role in manifestation reminds us that words structure reality, retrain the nervous system, and prime the brain to notice the next right step.

If you’re curious about human design for parenting, creativity, or sustainable wellness—or you’ve felt boxed in by labels—this conversation will catalyze a more fluid, body-led approach to decisions, goals, and change. Listen, subscribe, and leave a review with the one choice you’re ready to test today.

Your period is not a riddle—it’s a roadmap. We sit down with acupuncturist and holistic educator Nicole Lange to decode what your cycle is saying about hormones, stress, and whole‑body health. Nicole blends evidence‑based Chinese medicine, modern science, and trauma‑informed care to show how nervous system safety is the foundation for steady cycles and better fertility outcomes.

We start with the basics most people never learn: what a healthy luteal phase looks like, why a single progesterone number can mislead, and how color, clots, and flooding point to stagnation, infection, or inflammation. From there, we dig into the stress connection. Cortisol and sex hormones share the same raw materials and receptors, so when your body is stuck in threat mode, cycles go off‑track and treatments struggle to land. Nicole offers a humane reset: build felt safety first, then add targeted testing and interventions only if needed.

This is not about quick hacks or supplement stacks. It’s about unsexy habits that compound—sleep scaffolding, predictable meals, boundaries that hold, micro‑practices that downshift your system. We explore gentle acupuncture for those who respond, alternatives for those who don’t, and a redefining of “adrenal fatigue” as a narrative that misses the real fix. Nicole also shares how perimenopause can shift ovulation timing and why that matters for IVF, IUI, and cycle planning. Her framework helps you advocate for your body with data you can feel: timing, flow quality, and stress load.

If you’re craving clarity without overwhelm, this conversation gives you a method to read your cycle, regulate your nervous system, and make smarter choices about testing, treatment, and timing. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs cycle validation, and leave a review to tell us one insight you’ll apply this month.

Forget the swinging watch. We go straight into the lived reality of burnout, broken sleep, and the quiet tug-of-war between what you want and what your body will allow. Garrett Wood—clinical hypnotherapist, board certified health and wellness coach, and founder of Gnosis Therapy—joins us to unpack how hypnotherapy restores the nervous system, reshapes memory, and turns grit from a struggle into a side effect of safety.

We explore why the most effective therapies leverage memory reconsolidation, how hypnosis differs from stage tricks, and what actually changes when you revisit a charged memory in a regulated state. The payoff is practical: fewer triggers, steadier energy, and decisions that feel easy because they match who you are becoming.

We also zoom out to the environment. Sensory thresholds—light, sound, scent, texture—can make or break executive function. If your world overwhelms your system, self-control drains fast. Garrett reframes “self-sabotage” as a protective part guarding immediate safety, not a flaw to fix. Through hypnotic work and tools like cognitive belief inventories, we surface hidden beliefs (I’m not enough, I’m not safe) and pair them with real, embodied evidence of worth and capability. That’s where identity-level change happens: not “I should be calm,” but “I am calm and confident.”

If you’re curious about hypnotherapy for sleep, stress, trauma, or that stubborn gap between goals and behavior, this conversation offers clear explanations, real stories, and next steps you can use. Listen, share it with someone who needs steady ground, and subscribe to get more grounded, practical conversations each week. If it resonated, leave a review—what belief are you ready to update?
