Have you ever been held back by the fear of failure?

Today on The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, I'm bringing you one of my most popular solo episodes that's transformed the way so many of you view failure… And we all face it, but the secret is in how we respond to it.

In this episode, my husband interviews me, and I get real about my own struggles with failure. I share the raw truth of how I turned challenges into opportunities, like almost losing $500,000 in a launch, standing up to 30 bullies + building a 7-figure business with a learning disability. And I'll show you how you can too.

With over 20 years of doing this work, I've witnessed it time and time again: failure is inevitable, but it doesn't define you. In fact, when you have the right tools to embrace it, failure becomes one of the most powerful catalysts for success + ultimately a pathway to freedom.

If you've ever felt stuck or questioned your next step, this episode is for you.

What if the future of humanity's evolution is intertwined with extraterrestrial contact, and it all begins with your vibration?

In this episode of The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, I welcome back Darryl Anka, who has been channeling an extraterrestrial being, Bashar, for over 40 years. Together, we discuss Bashar's predictions of the upcoming global exposure of extraterrestrials and how, while they have always been here, they will soon be recognized as a key part of humanity's evolution. They offer us the chance to evolve in ways we've never imagined, but it's up to us to decide whether to embrace this opportunity.

We explore how raising your vibration can prepare you for this shift, making you more open to contact with extraterrestrials, spirit guides, and other higher-dimensional beings. Darryl shares valuable insights on following your excitement, staying positive through life's changes, and letting go of limiting beliefs.

This episode offers practical steps to help you align with your highest potential and stay open to the guidance and opportunities unfolding as we move toward a new era of open extraterrestrial contact.

What if the life you're trying so hard to create is actually waiting for you to surrender? If you've been forcing, hustling, or gripping tightly to the way you think things should look – this conversation will set you free.

In today's episode of Healing + Human Potential, we explore one of the most unexpected paradoxes on the spiritual path: that true manifestation doesn't come from control, effort, or perfect visualization, but from surrender. We dive into what surrender really means: not giving up, not shrinking, not becoming passive, but aligning with the deeper intelligence that's already guiding your life.

We're joined by inspirational speaker and bestselling author Kute Blackson, who breaks down how true surrender opens the door to a level of love, abundance, clarity, and freedom the ego could never create on its own. Together, we explore the dance between creating and allowing, the fear that arises when we release control, and how to trust the flow that's always been there.

Kute's wisdom will invite you to question everything you've ever believed about manifestation – especially the idea that you need to "make things happen."

What if just ten minutes a day could completely shift your brain from stress to peace, from scarcity to abundance?

In this special guided meditation, you're invited to come back home to yourself, no matter how busy or overwhelming life feels. Through intentional breathing, somatic awareness, and a full-body gratitude scan, you'll release the pressure and expectations you've been carrying and reconnect with the stillness that's always been within you.

This practice gently activates the neural pathways that support greater clarity, emotional balance, and an expanded sense of possibility. And when you return to it each morning, it becomes a powerful anchor for rewiring your nervous system and creating a new way of being.

Let this gratitude meditation become a Create a New Nervous System Blueprint: that rewires your nervous system to feel safe at a new level of expansion, peace, and emotional balance.

Practice this for 30 days and watch how your life transforms from the inside out ✨

What if the parts of you you've been quieting are actually the keys to your next chapter?

In today's episode of The Healing + Human Potential Podcast, we're exploring what happens when your soul starts nudging you toward a truer, more authentic version of yourself – even when the world expects you to stay the same. If you've ever felt the tension between who you used to be and who you're becoming, this conversation will give you the tools and the courage to take your next step.

We dive into the subconscious blocks that keep you repeating old patterns, how to recognize when a cycle has expired, and what it really takes to break generational conditioning so you can live a life that feels aligned, creative, and true. You'll learn how to reparent the parts of you that were never modeled self-trust, how to turn rock bottom moments into initiations, and how to actually listen to the wisdom inside your body so you can move toward the life you're meant to create.

Joining us is Olivia Amitrano – whose work bridges music, wellness, and storytelling – and whose journey will remind you that you're allowed to evolve, to shift paths, to let go of old identities, and to become someone both old and brand new. Episode Chapters:

What if you could have everything you've ever dreamed of – more impact, more income, more freedom – by actually working less?

In this inspiring episode of the "How They Did It" series on The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, we're diving into a powerful real-life story with someone who went from playing small and doubting her worth – to building a six-figure business working just 12 hours a month, all while raising two young kids and living a life filled with spaciousness, love, and purpose.

For years, she felt the call to something greater but didn't know how to bridge the gap between her vision and reality. Through deep inner work, mentorship, and learning to take messy, imperfect action, she transformed not just her business, but who she was being at her core.

Today, she embodies what it looks like to create success without burnout, hustle, or sacrificing what matters most.

We'll explore:

✨ How perfectionism and self-doubt can actually point you to your purpose

✨ The inner healing that made outer success inevitable

✨ How to begin to allow your higher self to lead your life

✨ What it really means to build a business from your essence, not your ego ✨ How to reframe sales as service and build a business WITHOUT social media

✨ & so much more.

If you've ever felt like you're meant for something more but haven't been sure how to get there, this conversation will remind you that alignment isn't found through pushing harder – it's found through love, trust, and honoring the call of your heart.

What if healing isn't about becoming more, it's about remembering who you already are?

In today's episode of The Healing + Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Martha Beck for one of the most profound and heart-opening conversations I've had about healing, awakening, and living in truth.

Dr. Beck opens up about the out-of-body psychic experience during surgery that became her doorway from trauma and anxiety into joy, peace, and wholeness. She reveals the messages she received from the light of consciousness and so much more. With three degrees from Harvard, she reminds us that true wisdom lives where science meets spirit – in the lived experience of awakening.

Together, we explore what it really means to awaken while staying grounded in the body – how to find safety in spirituality after trauma, and why awakening isn't about striving but about releasing what isn't true. We also dive into gentle, trauma-informed entry points to meditation, her framework for dissolving anxiety, the importance of shadow integration, and joy as a spiritual strength.

I can't wait to hear how this episode resonates & what opens up for you.

What if the moment you felt most lost could lead you to your truth, your alignment, and your abundance?

In this inspiring episode of the 'How They Did It' series on The Healing + Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with Career & Mindset Coach Kristy Ishii, who went from being laid off abroad and losing her visa during the pandemic – to creating a purpose-driven coaching business serving clients across the globe.

After being uprooted from her life in Japan, Kristy found herself questioning everything – her career, her identity, her next steps. What started as a rock bottom moment became the catalyst for a deep transformation. In this conversation, Kristy will give you the blueprint for how she learned to release old conditioning, trust her intuition, and turn her experience into impact.

Today, she's a thriving coach and speaker helping globally minded professionals design careers that align with their values and international lifestyles.

We'll dive into:

• How losing "everything" led Kristy to discover her true purpose
• The internal shifts that helped her move from fear to faith in herself
• How she grew from her first few clients to serving 300+ people worldwide
• How you can grow at any age - even when the ego tries to convince you that you're either too young or too old
• Why following your intuition (even when you're scared) will lead you to your alignment and abundance

Whether you're navigating a transition, feeling stuck, or wondering how to create a life that feels like you, Kristy's story will remind you that your challenges are not setbacks – they're initiations.

If you've ever felt frozen by imposter syndrome, stuck in insecurity, or overwhelmed by the critical voice in your head, this episode is for you.

In this solo episode of The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, I'm sharing the exact 4 step process that has helped me and so many of my clients move from self-doubt into authentic confidence. Not the kind that depends on what others think, or on what you achieve, but the kind that's rooted in your truth.

This isn't about faking it till you make it or reciting positive affirmations. It's about uncovering the confidence that's already within you, the kind that can't be taken away because it's who you truly are. When you tap into this authentic confidence, you'll stop chasing + start to magnetize the life you truly desire.

Together, we'll explore why most confidence advice actually backfires, how to release insecurity from your body, and how to re-parent the parts of you that are still waiting to be validated by others.

Do you struggle with feeling like your happiness lives 'out there' in the future – in the next partner, the next job, the next milestone?

In this episode of the Healing + Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Judith Joseph, a renowned psychiatrist and researcher, to explore the difference between the happiness we chase and the joy we cultivate. Together, we unpack why so many high performers confuse burnout with depression — and how to rediscover a grounded, internally sourced sense of aliveness.

Dr. Joseph shares the subtle signs of high-functioning depression, how unprocessed trauma can hide beneath busyness, and practical ways to reconnect with yourself. You'll learn her Five V's framework — Validate, Vent, Values, Vitals, and Vision — plus the 5-4-3-2-1 sensory practice to return to the present moment and healthy ways to release emotion without "trauma dumping."

We also dive into her latest research on joy in the digital age — including why two weeks without a smartphone can lift mood as powerfully as an antidepressant. You'll walk away with simple, science-backed tools to reset your nervous system, protect your mental health, and design your own blueprint for lasting joy and wellbeing.

0:00 – 1:20 Setting the frame: Why we chase happiness externally and how science tallies "points of joy."

1:20 – 3:40 Joy vs. happiness: cultivating an internal resource for resilience (presence over postponement).

3:40 – 6:20 Burnout or depression? The stigma, the "always on" brain, and signs of high-functioning depression.

6:20 – 8:05 Inner restlessness, anhedonia, and why "I can't relax" persists even away from stressors.

8:05 – 10:15 The 5-4-3-2-1 practice: a sensory ritual to reclaim presence (mindful eating, savoring, connection).

10:15 – 12:05 Make it routine: how predictability settles your nervous system (Dr. Judith's coffee ritual).

12:05 – 14:30 "Pathologically productive:" succeeding on paper, suffering in silence — a 2020 wake-up call.

14:30 – 16:35 Why prevention matters: studying high-functioning depression before a full breakdown.

16:35 – 18:30 Not all trauma is "capital-T": neglect, scarcity, and the invisible experiences that shape us.

18:30 – 21:05 Scarcity trauma vs. scarcity mindset: epigenetics, inherited behaviors, and overworking on autopilot.

21:05 – 23:00 Distinguishing love of learning from fear-driven achievement; checking the operating system.

23:00 – 25:10 The Five V's (part 1): Validate (name what's true) and Vent (without trauma dumping).

25:10 – 27:00 Healthy venting: emotional consent, reciprocity, journaling, prayer, and crying (90-second waves).

27:00 – 28:40 The Five V's (part 2): Values—prioritizing the priceless over the performative.

28:40 – 30:35 Collective & vicarious trauma: protecting your brain in a 24/7 news cycle.

30:35 – 32:10 RESET method: Realize, Educate, Strategy, Expectations, Thoughtfulness (boundaries with tech).

32:10 – 34:10 Smartphones & joy: why a "flip-phone fortnight" can feel like an antidepressant (more sleep, nature, connection).

34:10 – 35:10 The self-scrutiny trap: always seeing our own face, rising criticism, and lost social joy.

35:10 – 36:30 Digital age sanity: sleep hygiene, light exposure, and device boundaries that restore your brain.

36:30 – 37:35 "Understand the science of your happiness": mapping your bio-psycho-social fingerprint.

37:35 – 39:00 The Five V's (part 3): Vision—plan your joy and celebrate small wins daily.

39:00 – 40:00 Closing: Joy heals communities; permission to feel good now + where to connect with Dr. Judith.
