And when we have traumatic situations or little traumas, it doesn't have to be what we think of as traumas.” -Lisa (8:46) Uncover techniques for managing emotional triggers and practicing self-compassion to release stored emotional pain. “When we have these triggers happen, the tendency is to tense up either our physical bodies or just our energetic body.

So then it's just relaxing your whole physical body when you have the ability to do this in the moment.” - Lisa (10:07) Discover from Lisa how adding mindfulness and meditation into your everyday routine can help you see things differently and experience general emotional development.  “It's giving yourself compassion around your anxiety.

We have to be able to quiet that to hear the little bit more sensitive, delicate voice behind it.” - Lisa (20:30) Learn self-compassion techniques. Be gentle with yourself. Recognize and release negative thoughts, and practice self-compassion to overcome past conditioning and emotional pain. “Hear the voice in your head, take some distance to, to watch the thoughts that are going by.

Kelsey bravely shares her journey of overcoming depression and embracing her intuition - and then guides you to do the same.   "And I was just going through a lot of grieving and somehow, like, processing all those really heavy emotions just shed so much energetic density from my body that I opened myself up to all these psychic and intuitive gifts that I had no idea that I had."    – Kelsey, (2:17). “I basically just made an ultimatum with the universe, and I was like, God, universe, whoever is out there, what's a girl gotta do to get help?” – Kelsey, (4:09).   Reignite your passions as Kelsey teaches powerful self-compassion techniques, providing a unique perspective on manifesting for your highest good.   "So every emotion, no matter how icky or heavy it feels, has a positive message for you. But you can only access that if you're willing to go there, which is uncomfortable." –  Kelsey, (16:00).   Get inspired as Kelsey shares her approach to mindfulness, gratitude, and finding the courage to pursue your dreams.    “If I can get myself out of a suicidal state, then anything is possible with this information, and it needs to be more accessible.” – Kelsey, (5:34).   With Kelsey's refreshing insights and empowering vision, you're in for an episode that will leave you feeling reinvigorated, hopeful, and ready to embrace your best self.   "So, yeah, those were the two biggest moments that shaped me into the teacher, writer, and author that I am. And it shows that, like, your best manifestations always start in contrast. Because when you're experiencing that thing that's so uncomfortable that you hate, it's giving you so much clarity, and it's shaping you into the person who can have the thing that you're asking for. There's beauty in it even though it definitely sucks when you're going through it." – Kelsey, - (13:05).    “The best place to start is “I am” affirmations. I think those are very powerful and simple.” – Kelsey, - (7:04).   Get dialed in, focused, and ready to listen to Kelsey and her incredibly inspiring journey as she gives you simple yet powerful tools to set you on a path toward renewed success and happiness!   "Not in the same way where you go to therapy and they try to fix you or diagnose you or make you feel better, but it was more just like, okay, we're just gonna be curious about this feeling. We're gonna let it happen in the body. We're gonna observe it just from the compassionate witness standpoint. We're not gonna get lost in it. We're just gonna watch it happen in the body and see what comes from that." – Kelsey, (14:50). “Your best manifestations always start in the contrast.”  - Kelsey, (13:14).   In this episode: (1:52) – Battling with depression.

Franco discusses finding the beauty and value in friendship, how to cultivate your platonic relationships, the positivity that can come from developing a community, and how she found healing when she began to look beyond romantic relationships and instead started to prioritize friendship. “When we're vulnerable, we underestimate how positively people perceive us. And it's also true with affection. When we share affection toward people, we underestimate how much they like it, overestimate how awkward it is.” - Marisa, (07:04) As Lauren and Marisa unpack the science of connection, Marisa touches on the art of nurturing deeper connections and how to work through the fear that can often come when you open yourself up to others. She believes the connections you build support everything – your health, your motivation, your work, and your sense of who you are – and wants to equip you with the tools to move past that initial discomfort.  “When we say ‘no' to someone, we overestimate how negatively they'll respond to it. So you know, across the board we see that generally, the world is safer than our brain is telling us and that our brain tends to remember all these negative experiences and ignore all of the positives.” - Marisa (07:21) You have the capacity to develop intimate and steadfast friendships that enrich the quality of your life, and Marisa is here today to support you on that journey! “For friendship to happen, someone has to be brave, so be brave!” - Marisa (21:08) In this episode: (01:04) - Making friends as an adult (03:53) - Examining the expectations around romantic love and friendship (05:40) - The Liking Gap and fear of rejection (09:34) - How your friendships shift in different seasons of life (12:57) - Vulnerability as a strength, not a burden (14:48) - “Shared vulnerability” and developing familiarity (18:02) - The role of social igniters (20:02) - The science of loneliness and how to combat isolation (21:02) - Marisa's message of hope (21:39) - Overcoming covert avoidance Resources & Links 52 Weeks of Hope https://www.52weeksofhope.com  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyLA7Rb6E0PtKBhPGu1vcjA  https://www.facebook.com/52weeksofhope  https://www.instagram.com/52weeksofhope  https://www.twitter.com/52weeksofhope  Marisa G.

You can manifest a life of connection and greatness - sometimes, you just need a guide to help you on your journey.   This week, author, Ayurvedic teacher, and manifestation coach Latha Jay is that guide, teaching you the steps to manifest your life of greatness. She shows you how to align with your deepest desires as well as the importance of confronting the root cause of your limiting beliefs through shadow work and how you attune to and speak to your best self. As Lauren and Latha discuss the steps of manifesting, Latha touches on the key to powerful affirmations, the impact of being specific with your visualizations, and the importance of being attuned to your feelings and emotions.

And it's really important to address those limiting beliefs so that you can easily manifest them. Manifesting everything that you ever want is already yours. The thing that's in the way is you and your beliefs on what you can and cannot have.” - (15:47), Latha Everyone has the capacity to manifest and create their dream life of alignment and greatness. “I think that really anybody can manifest anything they want.
