What if the life you keep chasing is already within reach—once you change the frequency you’re living on? We sit down with spiritual mentor and author Leanne Marie Lambert to uncover how energy, identity, and everyday choices determine what we attract, and how to upgrade all three without getting lost in woo or wishful thinking.

Leanne’s story starts with a double-decker bus and a near-death experience that cracked her open to a wider consciousness. Later, plant medicine revealed a state she calls the “God frequency,” but the real breakthrough came afterward: learning to access it without substances by dismantling mental programs, shedding shame, and rebuilding a self-concept that could hold more light. Together we break down why vision boards fail when embodiment is missing, how “fake it till you make it” keeps you stuck, and why action aligned with worthiness outperforms hustle born from lack.

We also explore the mirrors we ignore: social feeds that reveal our true vibration, music that programs our subconscious, and relationships that repeat patterns until we evolve. You’ll hear practical energy alchemy tools you can use today—like recalling a belly-laugh memory to reset your state, curating inputs that lift you, and using presence to shift from anxious checklisting to grounded clarity. If you’ve ever felt “stuck on repeat,” this conversation offers a compassionate, no-fluff path to a higher timeline: purge what dims you, practice what centers you, and choose the identity that matches the life you’re calling in.

If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who’s ready to shift, and leave a quick review so more people can find these conversations. Your frequency is your strategy—let’s raise it together.

A doctor’s warning can feel like a cliff edge. For Erica Muñoz, it was a turning point. As a California mom of three—including an older son with Down syndrome—she chose a different path: reverse diabetes, raise her energy, and build a life that matches her values. We unpack how she did it without cameras, crash diets, or perfect conditions—just clear goals, protein-forward meals, daily movement, and consistency that didn’t blink when life got loud.

We get real about the myths that stall progress. Ellipticals that flatter, not measure. Ab routines that won’t outwork a kitchen. The lure of shortcuts like Ozempic for blood sugar and why stepping off them takes skills, not willpower alone. Erica shares the practical playbook that works in a busy home: Greek yogurt and whey for fast 60g protein, applesauce in baking to cut oil, protein muffins for sweet cravings, lettuce-wrapped burgers when eating out, and a mindset that treats red velvet cake as a planned celebration, not a failure. We also talk fear—fear of the first gym visit, fear of posting a workout—and how good form, small wins, and genuine community shrink those shadows.

This story is bigger than weight loss. It’s about picking a why that’s strong enough to carry you—kids who need you, health you can feel, a standard you refuse to drop. We explore time honesty (yes, there’s room if you stop binging shows), gratitude journaling, and controlling the controllables so bad days don’t derail good weeks. Erica’s growth from hesitant gym-goer to coach shows what’s possible when you stack simple habits and surround yourself with positive people. If you’ve felt stuck, tired, or intimidated, consider this your nudge to start, to post the rep, and to choose fuel over feelings one meal at a time.

If this conversation moved you, follow and subscribe, share it with a friend who needs a push, and leave a quick review to help others find us. What’s your why, and what’s the one small change you’ll make today?

What if the story you’re living isn’t the one you have to keep repeating? That’s the spark behind this conversation with executive coach, author, and podcaster Mark Silverman—a man who went from living in his truck at 27 to leading complex, multimillion-dollar deals and guiding high achievers into healthy, effective leadership.

We go straight at the stuff most “success” stories skip. Mark talks openly about addiction, undiagnosed ADHD, and the moment a brain scan made decades of chaos make sense. He shares the lifeline of AA and a brother who pulled him into a room where healing started. Then we track the surprising pivot from hospitality to sales in his mid-30s—terrified, introverted, and learning that trust outperforms theatrics. The wins stack quickly, and then everything breaks again: marriage, health, career. That reckoning becomes the gateway to the work that lasts.

Across this episode, we unpack leadership without the myth. No charisma gene. No superhero cape. Just skills you can learn—clarity, agreements, empathy, decisive communication—and the inner work that lets those skills stick. We talk trauma-informed leadership, selling by serving, the cost of cheap dopamine, and why attention is the scarcest executive resource. Mark’s three questions—What do I need to leave behind? Where do I need to level up? Who do I need to be?—become a reliable operating system for growth at work and at home. And we offer a simple test for great leaders: they talk about the privilege of serving people and mission, not just their own wins.

If you’re building a career that looks impressive but feels thin—or you’re ready to lead without burning out—this conversation is a reset.

What if your best eulogy isn’t someday—it’s being written by the choices you make before dinner? That’s the provocative idea Rabbi Daniel Cohen brings as we explore how small acts of kindness, daily gratitude, and a clear sense of calling can turn a noisy, angry culture into a field of quiet, meaningful wins.

We start with the tension most of us feel: emotions leading the day and outrage filling the feed. Rabbi Cohen reframes it with a simple image—the body as the horse and the soul as the jockey—and asks who’s really in charge when the stakes rise. From there, he shares the moment that shaped his ministry: losing his mother at 21, and the wake-up question that followed—What will they say about you when you’re gone? Instead of morbidity, he offers a method: reverse-engineer your legacy through daily practice. One minute of prayer to ask for strength. One minute of gratitude with no repeats to train your eyes toward gifts. One minute of outreach to make another person’s day.

We also dig into Elijah moments—those times you realize you are the answer to someone’s prayer—and how they often hide in a lobby greeting, a text to a mentor, or an extra minute of eye contact that says “you matter.” Along the way, we talk about faith beyond labels, mining for gold instead of digging for dirt, and why attention is the most underrated form of love in our families. Rabbi Cohen’s stories—from hospital doors to city sidewalks—reveal how presence, humility, and service scale better than any life hack and last longer than any headline.

If you’re ready to swap cynicism for purpose and turn intention into action, this conversation gives you a clear next step you can try before the credits roll. Listen, share with a friend who needs hope, and tell us the one person you’ll lift up today. And if this resonated, follow the show, leave a review, and help us grow a community committed to living a life of legacy.

What transforms someone from sleeping in their car eating ketchup packets into the founder of international brands spanning 14 countries? Tim Rexius shares his remarkable journey with raw honesty and practical wisdom that cuts through typical entrepreneurial hype.

Tim's story illuminates how the same discipline required for fitness success directly translates to business achievement. After building successful nutrition stores and gyms, he stumbled into creating protein popcorn as a solution for his own family – six kids who wouldn't eat protein bars and aging parents who needed better nutrition despite their retirement lifestyle. What began as kitchen experimentation turned into Omaha Protein Popcorn, now experiencing explosive international growth after Tim made a crucial pivot: "I was marketing to meatheads like me, but I should have marketed to my wife."

This conversation explores how anger can become productive fuel rather than destructive emotion. When kicked out of a gym for selling supplements, Tim didn't complain – he built his own 38,000 square foot facility. When nutritional products disappointed him, he created better ones. Throughout each venture, Tim maintained his authenticity, refusing to compromise quality or become just another influencer chasing trends.

Most refreshingly, Tim dismisses the concept of work-life balance, instead advocating for integration – involving family in quarterly business meetings and viewing employees as potential business partners rather than temporary labor. His approach creates alignment and purpose that transcends typical workplace boundaries.

Whether you're an established entrepreneur or just beginning your journey, Tim's practical insights on scaling businesses, overcoming setbacks, and maintaining authenticity provide a blueprint for success that emphasizes substance over hype. As he puts it: "The struggle is the journey – that is the whole fricking point."

With refreshing honesty, he explains how this experience birthed his Garden of the Soul method—a brilliant metaphor comparing our minds to gardens that require regular weeding to prevent negativity from choking out our potential.

This conversation cuts through typical self-help platitudes to deliver genuine wisdom about transformation.

We dive deep into why today's youth struggle despite having unprecedented access to information and resources. Chuck unpacks how social media creates artificial comparison traps and explains his simple yet powerful technique of "changing the channel" on negative thoughts—a method that helped his daughter overcome nightmares and develop remarkable creative abilities.

Whether you're facing your own personal Everest or simply want to cultivate greater resilience, this episode delivers actionable insights from someone who's transformed life's deepest pain into purpose. Chuck's work with thousands of students, families, and athletes proves that mindset rewiring sticks when approached with the right tools—many of which he generously shares throughout our conversation.

Navigating the labyrinth of college financing has become one of the most daunting challenges facing families today. With prestigious universities now approaching $100,000 per year, how can parents provide educational opportunities without sacrificing their financial future?

Paul Campeau, CFP and founding partner of Bridgewise College Planning, pulls back the curtain on the hidden world of college financial aid. Since 2008, he's personally guided over 500 families to save an average of $40,000+ at top-tier schools while protecting their retirement savings. His insights reveal why many families unknowingly pay far more than necessary for higher education.

The conversation explores the stark reality that students sitting next to each other in the same classroom often pay dramatically different amounts. Some pay full price while others receive substantial discounts through strategic planning and understanding the financial aid system. Campeauo explains why private universities frequently offer better financial packages than public institutions, and why community colleges aren't always the budget-friendly option they appear to be.

We dive deep into the psychology behind college selection, examining how emotional decision-making leads families to overlook financial considerations. Campeau shares practical strategies for maximizing aid eligibility, including how to structure savings to avoid financial aid penalties and the critical timing of when to begin planning.

Perhaps most valuably, Campeau outlines his "CFO approach" to college planning – a systematic method for finding schools that provide the right academic and campus fit while remaining financially sustainable. His framework empowers parents to make informed decisions rather than succumbing to marketing pressure or emotional appeals.

Ready to discover how your family can pay less for college without compromising quality? Visit bridgewisecp.com for a College Readiness Breakthrough Session and take the first step toward a debt-free education for your children.

What happens when a former Marine becomes a monk for 20 years, then transforms into a pioneering financial advisor? Doug Lynam's extraordinary journey reveals profound truths about our relationship with money that most financial experts never discuss.

Growing up in an affluent but emotionally complicated home where his parents weaponized money during their divorce, Doug developed deep-seated negative beliefs about wealth. This led him to reject materialism entirely, first joining the Marines and then taking monastic vows to escape what he saw as a corrupt financial system. The universe had other plans. In a twist of cosmic irony, just three years into his monastic life, the entire monastery went bankrupt—and Doug found himself responsible for solving their financial crisis.

This unexpected responsibility became Doug's awakening to the powerful connection between psychology and finance. Over two decades as both monk and math teacher, he developed revolutionary insights about how our personality types shape our financial behaviors. His latest book, "Taming Your Money Monster," uses the Enneagram personality system to explain how each of us develops distinctive "money monsters" based on our core fears and desires.

Doug challenges the false choice between spiritual fulfillment and financial success. He argues that rejecting wealth can be just as ego-driven as hoarding it, and that money itself is simply a tool that amplifies who we already are. Most powerfully, he shows how unhealed trauma gets transmitted through our financial decisions, affecting not just ourselves but everyone around us.

Whether you're struggling with debt, building wealth, or somewhere in between, Doug's compassionate approach offers a path to healing your relationship with money by first healing your relationship with yourself. By understanding your unique "money monster," you can transform financial management from a source of stress into an expression of your highest purpose.
