  • Grief Is Not Something to Get Over: A Compassionate Conversation with Meghan Jarvis
    Dec 29 2025

    Send us a text

    In this tender and honest conversation, we sit down with grief expert Meghan Jarvis to explore what it really means to live alongside grief — not fix it, rush it, or push it away. Together, we normalize grief as a lifelong process and speak openly about the ways it weaves itself into our bodies, relationships, and sense of self.

    Meghan shares gentle, natural supports for navigating grief, the importance of allowing space for both healing and hurt, and why community connection is often one of the most overlooked forms of medicine. This episode is an invitation to soften, to be held, and to remember that you don’t have to walk through grief alone.

    If you’re longing for deeper connection, shared healing, and space to tend to what has been tender, we also share a heartfelt invitation to our upcoming ONE LIFE. LIVE IT.® Bali Women’s Retreat this September — a place where grief, joy, and becoming are all welcome.

    ONE LIFE. LIVE IT. invites you to join our next transformational retreat in the breathtaking Galápagos Islands, April 11–18, 2026. We’ve reserved the entire luxurious Semilla Verde Boutique Hotel, where ancient tortoises roam freely and the magic of nature surrounds you.

  • Following the Call: Sacred Pauses, Healing Spaces & the Vision Behind Mary’s Place by the Sea 🙏 🐚 🛏️

    What happens when you say yes to a dream that’s bigger than you?

    In this powerful and heart-expanding episode, we speak with Michelle Gannon, Executive Director and Founder of Mary’s Place by the Sea—a sanctuary for women with cancer in Ocean Grove, New Jersey. Michelle shares how a vivid dream of Mary set her on a path to create a healing refuge rooted in holistic care, nourishment, rest, and unconditional love.

    Together, we explore the sacred power of slowing down, the ripple effects of community-supported healing, and what it truly means to answer a calling. Michelle's story is a beautiful reminder that when you listen deeply, trust the process, and surround yourself with people who believe in something greater—you can change lives.

    Since its founding, Mary’s Place has served over 16,000 women and continues to expand its reach—all made possible through donations and community generosity.

    ✨ This conversation is a breath of fresh air. A call to stillness. A reminder that you are not alone.

You welcome women during one of the most vulnerable times of their lives—with open hearts, healing hands, and unwavering compassion.

  • Being With What Makes Us Human: 4 Existential Stressors & How we COPE with Maggie Bittman
    Jul 2 2025

    Send us a text

    What if the things that stress us most are also what connect us as human beings?

    In this powerful episode, we sit down with seasoned psychotherapist and wise guide Maggie Bittman, who brings over four decades of clinical expertise to help us explore four universal stressors—those deep, existential questions we all face but rarely name. Together, we unpack how to be with themes like uncertainty, loss, choice, and isolation… and how facing them with honesty and compassion can lead to more meaningful lives.

    Maggie reminds us that even in the messiness, we all have the right to choose. That connection is essential. That our search for meaning matters. And maybe—just maybe—our best is good enough.

    This is not just a conversation. It’s a return to what matters most. Join us for a tender, wise, and deeply human dialogue.
