- 1 hour 7 minutesTabitha Brown: What Happens When You Finally Stop Pretending
Tabitha Brown reveals the prayer that changed everything: "God, if you heal me, you can have me."
After battling chronic illness for a year and seven months, she made a choice that terrified her, to stop pretending and start living as her authentic self. The transformation didn't just heal her body. It cost her friendships, tested her marriage, and forced her to walk away from the version of herself she'd spent decades creating.
On the other side of that bathroom prayer, she found something more valuable than any acting role or endorsement deal: freedom. Her journey from conforming in corporate America and Hollywood to building a multimedia empire on authenticity proves that when you finally stop performing for approval, abundance finds you. The path forward starts with one question you need to ask yourself today: What mask are you wearing, and what would happen if you took it off?
Tabitha’s books:
- Cooking from the Spirit
- Feeding the Soul (Because It's My Business)
- Seen, Loved and Heard: A Guided Journal for Feeding the Soul
- I Did a New Thing
- Hello There, Sunshine
In this episode you will:
- Learn the signs of confirmation that keep appearing in your life and what they're trying to tell you about your purpose
- Break through the fear of losing relationships when you step into your truth and understand why some people can't come with you
- Discover why habitual prayer kept you stuck and how to shift into true connection that transforms your reality
- Uncover the difference between dreams deposited inside you and goals you create, and why only one will let you rest
- Master the practice of obedience over sacrifice and why choosing the harder path now creates the easier life later

23 January 2026, 8:00 am - 50 minutes 5 seconds9 Things You Rarely Do For Yourself (But Should Do Every Day)
A neuroscientist and brain surgeon told Lewis that emotional regulation is the single most important skill every human being should master, yet most of us were never taught how to do it.
You know that feeling of waking up already exhausted, scrolling your phone before your feet hit the floor, and saying yes to things that drain you just to avoid conflict. Most people are burned out not because they are doing too much, but because they are doing too much of what does not actually matter to them and too little of what brings them joy.
These nine practices are not about overhauling your life overnight. They are small, stackable habits like protecting your first ten minutes each morning, naming your emotions without judgment, and creating mental closure before bed so tomorrow gets the best version of you.

21 January 2026, 8:00 am - 1 hour 30 minutesDoctor Explains: Healing Your Gut Won't Work Until You Heal This
Dr. Will Bulsiewicz reveals a profound connection between your gut and your total well-being: 70% of your immune system resides in your gut lining.
The quiet enemy? Chronic inflammation, which is silently eroding your energy, focus, and long-term health. You aren't just drained from a busy life; you're inflamed because your gut microbiome is compromised. This inflammation triggers a cascade of symptoms that many have come to view as "normal."
What sets this conversation apart is Dr. Will's deeply personal journey. He shares how unresolved trauma, including a decade-long estrangement from his father, sabotaged his health even with a perfect diet.
You will discover the specific foods that fortify your gut barrier and calm the immune system. Crucially, you'll also learn why spiritual healing and processing past wounds might be the critical missing link in your health equation.
This is much more than a guide to better digestion—it's a path to finally feeling truly alive again.
The Greatness Playbook: The Gut Health Edition
Dr. Will’s books:
In this episode you will:
- Uncover the surprising connection between your gut microbiome and emotional resilience, and why healing past wounds is as important as changing your diet
- Discover why 70% of your immune system lives in your gut and how a weak gut barrier creates chronic inflammation that affects everything from brain fog to joint pain
- Transform your energy and focus by eating the four "workhorse" nutrients that repair your gut lining and calm your immune system naturally
- Break through the cycle of fatigue by understanding how unhealed trauma keeps your body in perpetual fight-or-flight mode, weakening your gut
- Master simple breath techniques that activate your parasympathetic nervous system and immediately shift your body from stress mode to healing mode

19 January 2026, 8:00 am - 58 minutes 39 secondsBrené Brown: How to Stop Betraying Yourself to Be Accepted
Brené Brown reveals that the opposite of belonging is actually fitting in, and why that distinction matters more than you think.
She opens up about still feeling lonely despite speaking to thousands, and explains how belonging to yourself is both the hardest and most essential work you'll ever do.
You'll learn why every act of courage requires vulnerability, why shame thrives in silence, and how speaking your truth deflates its power. This isn't about becoming fearless, it's about choosing courage over comfort even when your voice shakes, and finally writing the ending to your own story instead of letting it write you.
Brené’s books:
- I Thought It Was Just Me (But It Isn't)
- Daring Greatly
- Rising Strong
- Braving the Wilderness
- Dare to Lead
- You Are Your Best Thing: Vulnerability, Shame Resilience, and the Black Experience

- The Gifts of Imperfection
- Strong Ground
In this episode you will:
- Master the practice of belonging to yourself first, so you can show up authentically everywhere without betraying who you really are.
- Understand the direct relationship between vulnerability and courage, and why you cannot be brave without being willing to face uncertainty and risk.
- Discover why fitting in is the opposite of belonging and how changing yourself to be accepted actually destroys your chance at true connection.
- Learn the proven process for dealing with shame when it shows up, including why speaking it out loud is the only way to strip away its power.
- Break through the myth that vulnerability is weakness and recognize it as the birthplace of every meaningful achievement in your life.

9 January 2026, 8:00 am - 31 minutes 34 secondsWhy Your Goals Fail By February (And How to Fix It)
Lewis opens with a hard truth: goals don't fail because your dreams are too big, they fail because your system is too weak.
He shares the exact framework he's used for 13 years to show up consistently for his podcast, master public speaking from a place of crippling fear, and build multiple streams of success. Through personal stories of sleeping on his sister's couch while dreaming of speaking on big stages, Lewis proves that massive transformation starts with micro actions you take today.
He breaks down how writing your goals increases success by 43%, why accountability kept Mr. Beast and his mastermind partners locked in for 1,000 consecutive days, and how celebrating progress instead of chasing perfection will change your relationship with achievement forever. This isn't about motivation that fades by February, this is about building systems that work when life gets hard.

Guy Winch reveals that when you're stressed at work, your partner at home can actually start developing symptoms of burnout themselves, even if they don't work. The most surprising truth?

He exposes why relaxation alone won't recharge you after mental exhaustion and shares the counterintuitive actions that actually restore your energy. This isn't just about surviving your job. It's about reclaiming the parts of yourself you've been amputating one by one while everyone around you suffers the spillover.

Dr. Caroline Leaf reveals that depression and anxiety aren't diseases; they're messengers trying to tell you something important.

You'll learn the exact five-step neurocycle process she's used with everyone from traumatic brain injury survivors to Navy SEALs to help them reclaim control of their thoughts and emotions. This isn't about positive thinking or pretending everything's fine, it's about embracing your pain, processing it systematically, and reconceptualizing your past so it stops controlling your future.
Dr. Leaf’s books:
- Switch on Your Brain
- Think & Eat Yourself Smart
- The Perfect You
