Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of suicide, PTSD, and trauma. Please listen with care and step away if needed.

Today, I'm sitting down with someone I've known for years and whose story moved me deeply. Mike Zeller joins me for a powerful, raw, and eye opening conversation about trauma, healing, nervous system regulation, and the life changing breakthroughs that helped save his wife, his marriage, and his family.

Mike opens up about the traumatic season that began when his daughter was born. His wife, a three time suicide survivor with complex childhood trauma, spiraled into severe PTSD and depression triggered by pregnancy and early motherhood. For nearly two years, Mike lived in constant fight or flight trying to support her while feeling completely lost about how to help.

This episode takes you inside their journey, the tools that finally created real change, and the multimodal healing approach Mike now uses to support others through trauma, depression, and burnout.

In this episode, we explore:

• Mike and his wife's powerful story and what was really happening beneath the surface

• How trauma hijacks the nervous system and why traditional tools weren't enough

• What Mike learned about somatic therapy, PTSD, and the subconscious mind

• How NAD therapy works and why so many people are deficient without realizing it

• The role psychedelics played in opening the nervous system for deep healing

• The importance of integration and nervous system support after a therapeutic journey

Today, I'm diving into a topic that has touched so many of you and continues to show up in my own life in the most surprising, beautiful ways. We're exploring the signs, synchronicities, and gentle nudges from the universe that remind us we're never walking this path alone. From repeating numbers to feathers, birds, coins, and even unexpected phrases from strangers, signs are everywhere when we slow down enough to notice them.

Whether you've been seeing 11:11 on the clock, finding pennies in random places, or simply sensing that something bigger is guiding you, this episode will help you understand how your angels, guides, and loved ones communicate with you and how to trust the messages already showing up around you.

In this episode, I share:

• How to recognize the signs that your angels and guides are sending you

• Why nothing in your life is random and why coincidences don't really exist

• What the "illuminated path" is and how to know your very next step

• How to ask for your own personal, specific sign (and what happens when you do!)

• A simple way to discern whether a sign is meant for you

Listener Discretion: This conversation includes a brief mention of suicidal thoughts as part of one guest's journey toward healing and awakening.

In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Neale Donald Walsch, author of the Conversations with God series, for a deeply moving conversation about awakening, consciousness, and remembering who we truly are.

Neale shares how a single moment of despair led to a life-changing dialogue with God - one that continues to inspire millions around the world. Our conversation dives into love, unity, and how to live from awareness instead of fear.

Together, we explore how to:

• See challenges as opportunities for soul growth and remembrance

• Shift from separation to connection and from fear to love

• Move beyond "doing" spirituality to being it

• Recognize your soul's purpose in everyday moments

• Build your own personal, authentic relationship with the Divine
  
  

This conversation is a beautiful reminder that life isn't happening to us — it's happening through us. Every experience, even the difficult ones, is guiding us back home to love.

If you've ever caught yourself wondering, "Am I good enough? Lovable enough? Worthy enough?"... this episode is for you.

Today, I'm diving into the powerful difference between external and internal validation, and how learning to validate yourself is the key to breaking free from codependency, people-pleasing, and enmeshment.

When we rely on others to tell us who we are, we lose touch with our true selves. But when we start building that validation from within, everything changes: our confidence, our sense of worth, and the way we move through the world.

In this episode, I share:

• How codependency develops when we seek our worth outside of ourselves

• Simple ways to practice self-validation every day

• Why internal validation becomes even more essential as we age

• How celebrating your small wins rewires your brain and boosts self-worth

This episode is all about bringing it home. Finding your value from within and learning to celebrate the beautifully unique human you already are.
