The most important part of your surgery isn't plugged in, mounted, or calibrated. It's the person standing beside you. Have you ever dreaded walking into a beautiful practice with lovely patients — purely because of who you share the surgery with? What do you actually do, in the moment, when your assistant rolls their eyes at a request for rubber dam? And should you be friends with your assistant at all — or does that cross a line you'll regret? This is an Interference Cast — a non-clinical but deeply practical episode — with Dr. Sarah Braun, a dentist in Australia and a fellow Protrusive Guidance member who DM'd to suggest this very topic. No course, no book, nothing to sell: just two clinicians comparing notes (and the odd scar) on the one relationship that quietly shapes your whole working life. It sits inside this month's theme of the relationships that support your career. https://youtu.be/OyztRyPpcHM Watch IC075 on YouTube What You'll Take From This Episode The full breakdown is in the Premium Notes; here's the shape of the thinking that runs through the episode: Engagement is the whole game — the assistant relationship sets the mood of the room, the patient's experience, and whether good people stay. Speak their language — appreciation only lands if it's delivered in the form that particular person actually values. Appreciation is a verb — specific, named praise lands far harder than a vague “good job.” Let them, let me — you don't control how someone reacts in the moment; you only control your response to it. Lead the room — dentistry is a performance, and the room takes its emotional cue from whoever is leading it.

Radleigh Valentine is back, and he came with a prayer, a story about a dog he absolutely did not want, and more wisdom than any episode should be legally allowed to hold. Radleigh is an angel whisperer, oracle deck creator, and Hay House author who has spent decades helping people understand that angels are not fluffy sideline characters but active partners in this very human life. He and co-author Heather Hildebrand wrote their new angel prayer book in eight weeks on deadline, and somehow that constraint cracked something wide open. In this conversation, Radleigh walks Sarah and Jane through his own complicated history with prayer, how he walked away from it entirely when he left organized religion, and how he quietly found his way back to it without even realizing he was doing so. He talks about the book's structure as a divination tool organized by topic, the surprising teaching that came from co-writing with someone whose prayer style is completely opposite to his, and why he believes prayer at its core is an act of self-worth. The episode moves through law of attraction, the concept of rockets of desire borrowed from Esther Hicks, and Radleigh's genuinely original take on why humans keep wanting more. His idea is that we are not broken or greedy but simply trying to recreate the feeling of being on the other side, where connection, communication, and abundance were instant and effortless. He also opens up about his divorce, his move back to Denver, and how the hardest years of his personal life became the exact material that led to this book. KEY TAKEAWAYS Prayer does not belong to any one tradition. If you left organized religion and stopped praying, you likely just renamed it. Radleigh called his "meditations" for years before he let himself have the word back. Reclaiming the practice on your own terms is a valid and worthwhile spiritual move. There is no single right way to pray. Radleigh and his co-author Heather Hildebrand have completely opposite styles. She writes long, layered, comprehensive prayers. He writes short, direct ones. Both are legitimate. The lesson from their collaboration is that you are an artist of prayer, and finding your own style matters more than doing it "correctly." Prayer as self-compassion reframes the whole practice. Asking for what you need is not demanding or greedy. It is an act of tenderness toward yourself, and at its root it is a declaration that you believe you are worthy of being heard. The desire you feel for more is not a flaw, it is the design. Radleigh draws on Esther Hicks and Neale Donald Walsch to make the case that we are "wanting machines" by intention, always firing rockets of desire because we are wired to keep creating and moving toward joy. You cannot get it wrong because you cannot get it done. Human striving may be a memory of the other side. Radleigh's take is that cell phones, airplanes, and money are all attempts to recreate what was effortless in the spirit realm: instant connection, instant travel, instant abundance. We are not chasing external things so much as we are trying to feel what we already know. The angels are in everything, including the algorithm. From a Facebook puppy post to a radio DJ saying "Three Dog Night" at exactly the right moment, Radleigh's stories illustrate that divine guidance does not wait for sacred spaces. It will use whatever is available, including your social media feed. Worthiness and prayer are inseparable. The reason so many people struggle to ask for what they want, whether in prayer or in life, comes back to a deep belief that they do not deserve it. Radleigh's point is that having angels assigned to you by the divine is itself evidence of your worth. DIRECT QUOTES "When I left organized religion, I threw the baby out with the bathwater. I was just like, not praying, thanks. And threw it out." "Prayer in its very essence is a desire to feel worthy. We are trying to be in a place where we feel worthy enough to ask for this, to therefore be worthy enough to receive it." "We are wanting machines. Right? We are. We're wanting machines. But by design. I mean, it's the design." "We are trying to find joy. We are trying to find happiness because we are used to it on the other side." "We have jet airplanes because we are used to being able to be anywhere we want to be instantaneously. We want money because we are used to being able to acquire anything we want instantaneously. Human life in so many ways is trying to recreate our life on the other side."

It Has Been Decided: How Steffani LeFevour Rewrote Her Story and Manifested a Dream Book Deal Steffani LeFevour has built a life and a career around happiness, but she is the first to tell you she did not start there. She grew up without her father, an alcoholic who left the family, and she was only eleven when her eighteen-year-old sister died in a car accident. For years she assumed everyone carried that kind of weight, and for a long stretch she handled it the only way she had ever seen modelled: drinking, partying, and quietly sabotaging her own life. What makes her story land is her honesty about how slow the turn really was. There was no single lightning bolt. There was Oprah on the television every day, a Wayne Dyer book, and Marianne Williamson's A Return to Love, which introduced her to a word nobody had ever taught her: forgiveness. As a young woman she carried a rock from a wild party down to a river, poured all her fear and trauma into it, read a Maya Angelou poem, and threw it into the water. She is quick to puncture the fantasy that this fixed everything. It did not. She sabotaged her life for another decade, because the old path, as she puts it, is so worn and so comfortable that we keep returning to it. The shift came from a question she kept asking. The beliefs she had carried since childhood sounded like this: I'm broken, I'm unlovable, nothing good can happen for me. Then a door opened. What if all of it was happening for her? What if there were gifts in it, and she could consciously create from there? Human eyes versus soul eyes Steffani, now the founder of the Soul Happy Movement, teaches her clients to ask two questions of any situation: what do my human eyes see, and what does my soul see. Her human eyes might see a struggling child or a difficult marriage. Her soul sees something whole, chosen, and exactly where it is meant to be. She is careful, though, not to let this slide into spiritual bypassing. Radical acceptance has to sit alongside real boundaries, and she reframes boundaries beautifully. They are not about controlling someone else. They are about governing your own behaviour. The episode's most memorable test case is wonderfully ordinary. At her daughter's fifteenth birthday party, older boys turned up and threw eggs into the back garden. Steffani chose to love every second of it. Her line lands like a thesis for the whole conversation: it is not the world's job not to trigger her, it is her job not to be triggered. Nothing, she says, has meaning until we give it meaning. The practical architecture From there she lays out the tools. There is the STAR formula, where State, Thoughts and Actions create your Reality, with the crucial twist that most of us try to change our actions while ignoring the state we prime ourselves into each morning. There is her debt to Byron Katie's questioning of limiting beliefs, which she still practises thirty years in and describes as weeding the garden and watering the seeds of worthiness. And there is the achievement list she gives the teen athletes she coaches, a file of evidence to return to after a bad game. It all builds towards the story that gives the episode its emotional peak. After a decision statement in late 2025, an early call with Hay House, and an eight-week wait that ended in a no, Steffani felt relief rather than disappointment, trusting something more aligned was coming. She kept identifying as the author she wanted to be, declined contracts that felt close but not quite right, and through a chance lunch was reconnected to a new Hay House editor. By then her platform had exploded, and within a week the contract was hers. She calls it identity-first manifesting, framed around focusing on the end result, asking for guidance rather than the thing itself, taking inspired action, and being genuinely okay no matter what. She closes with three golden nuggets: you get to decide how your life will be and then make it that way; your state, thoughts and actions are one hundred per cent in your control; and we shape our stories, and our stories shape our lives.

Dr. Shivani Gupta returns to the podcast to share what she has learned since writing her new Hay House book, The Inflammation Code. In this conversation we explore why inflammation is rising so dramatically in modern life and how that plays into fertility, hormone balance, and overall vitality. Dr. Shivani breaks down the three doshas in Ayurveda, which she calls Elemental Design, and explains how understanding your own makeup of air, fire, and earth can help you choose the foods, rhythms, and rituals that actually nourish your body. We also talk about Mental Inflammation, circadian living, the healing power of nature, and why modern life keeps so many women stuck in survival mode. Dr. Shivani shares the science behind turmeric, why absorption matters, and when to use it and when to pause it during IVF and transfer windows. This is a grounded, practical conversation about returning to ancient wisdom in a way that feels doable in real life.   Key Takeaways: Inflammation is rising because of environmental toxins, processed foods, chronic stress, and constant mental stimulation. The body is living in survival mode rather than thriving. Ayurveda teaches that each of us has a unique Elemental Design made of air, fire, and earth. Knowing your primary and secondary doshas helps you choose foods, rhythms, and rituals that bring you back into balance. Mental Inflammation is a real physiological state created by constant phone use, email, and sympathetic activation. It feeds physical inflammation, and physical inflammation feeds it back. Living in rhythm with nature's circadian clock is one of the most powerful and free tools we have. Walking outside, eating seasonally, and sleeping from 10 to 2 supports lymphatic clearance and reduces inflammation. Preparing the body for conception through gentle detoxification, nourishment, and tissue health is the same work that supports vibrancy through perimenopause. A vibrant body is a fertile body. Turmeric is one of the most powerful natural anti-inflammatories we have, but absorption matters. Black pepper and healthy fats increase bioavailability significantly. Turmeric can support fertility conditions linked to inflammation such as endometriosis, PCOS, and recurrent implantation challenges, but it should be paused during IVF cycles and transfer windows because it thins the blood and can thin the uterine lining. Supplementation should be phased with the guidance of a practitioner. Every season of the body calls for a different protocol. About the guest: Dr. Shivani Gupta is an Ayurvedic practitioner, turmeric researcher, and speaker who blends classical Ayurveda with functional medicine to help women calm inflammation, balance hormones, and restore energy. With a Master's in Ayurvedic Sciences and a PhD focused on turmeric, she translates ancient wisdom into simple daily rituals, including Elemental Design personalization, Mental Inflammation resets, gut and estrobolome support, and spice-based micro-habits. Her new book, The Inflammation Code (Hay House, February 2026), is a practical, non-diet system for cooling chronic inflammation to improve brain fog, bloat, pain, sleep, and mood. Dr. Shivani is the host of the Fusionary Health Podcast and creator of the Emmy-nominated TV show Vibrant Health with Dr. Shivani Gupta.

Joe Polish sits down with Strategic Coach Founder Dan Sullivan and The CEO of CEG Worldwide John Bowen to explore the research-backed framework behind their new book, The Greater Game — a 100x blueprint that reveals why only 5.4% of Entrepreneurs are playing a completely different game than everyone else. Together they unpack the shift from Founder-dependent businesses to scalable ecosystems, the finite-vs-infinite game divide, and why AI is less a technological revolution and more a cognitive one. Here's a glance at what you'll discover in this episode: The number that reveals whether you're winning or losing the only game that matters... and why 94.6% of Entrepreneurs are optimizing a game that's already coming to an end (you've probably already done 10x without calling it that — what you do next is the whole point) Dan Sullivan's quiet observation after 52 years and 7,000+ Entrepreneurs... the exact moment a successful person stops growing isn't failure — it's something far more seductive, and almost no one catches it in themselves (the first exercise he runs at Strategic Coach is designed to show you you've already crossed the line once) Joe typed a question into AI and got back the most brutal case study in modern business history... Blockbuster, Kodak, Borders, Toys "R" Us — and the one invisible shift every company on that list missed before it was too late (this isn't a technology story — it's a thinking story) Why John Bowen started three new companies on his 70th birthday... and the dashboard he and Dan built for roughly $2,000 that a top vendor quoted them $50,000 a year to provide (his tech team called after the first meeting and said "we'll just build it and give it to you tomorrow") The four-hour version of something that used to take Dan Sullivan four weeks... and what it reveals about the only AI upgrade that actually changes your trajectory (this isn't about using AI more — it's about using it in the right direction entirely) What Joe Polish teaches Genius Youth Members that no business school has ever covered... and why writing handwritten postcards in an age of AI might be the single highest-leverage thing you do this week (the killer app of 2026 is not what anyone is selling you) If you'd like to join world-renowned Entrepreneurs at the next Genius Network Event or want to learn more about Genius Network, go to www.GeniusNetwork.com. Show Notes: The Book: The Greater Game and the 5.4% Dan and John's new book — published by Hay House and instantly a #1 Amazon bestseller — grew out of a 25-year research partnership to study what separates the highest-performing Entrepreneurs from everyone else. Their research across 7,000+ Entrepreneurs found that 94.6% are still optimizing the game they're in — while only 5.4% are architecting a completely different one. The book maps out exactly what those 5.4% are doing. The book's central premise: "Every system that got you here is optimized for a game that's coming to an end." From 10x to 100x: Dan's Framework Dan has been coaching Entrepreneurs to 10x since the 1990s — starting with an exercise where he had Clients identify when they were one-tenth of where they are today. Everyone in his program had already done 10x without labeling it that way. When he challenged a Client who said they couldn't go 10x in three years, the Client responded they could do it in 15 — and then voluntarily suggested doing it again. That's when the 100x idea crystallized. Dan's thesis: give yourself a long enough time horizon, use AI as a genuine collaborator, and constant growth becomes the natural state — not the exception. The Four Levels of The Greater Game Level 1 — Foundation for Freedom: Vision, security, and financial confidence. Getting off the couch. Level 2 — Energy for Expansion: Motivation and IP development. Dan has built an extraordinary amount of intellectual property; John and Joe have too. Level 3 — Platform / Ecosystem: Moving from Founder-dependent to a scalable system. John's own company grew 58% while writing the book — by walking the talk of this level. Level 4 — Agency: Creating markets. Courage, commitment, and building an ecosystem where you're generating the category itself. Finite vs. Infinite: What the Game Shift Really Means Finite game: competing for market share, managing dependencies, staying indispensable personally, reacting to market pressure. Business value: 3–5x EBITDA. Infinite game: designing an ecosystem, multiplying unique genius through others, engineering your own absence, redefining the market. Business value: multiples that reflect systems, not the Founder. Joe's examples (finite → infinite): Blockbuster → Netflix, Kodak → Apple, Borders → Amazon, taxi companies → Uber, Toys "R" Us → Lego. The pattern: finite players optimize the current game; infinite players keep changing what the game is. Dan's real-world example: Paul Van Dyne came to Strategic Coach planning to retire at 65. He went on to take his engineering firm from #40 to #1 nationally in nine years through M&A — and now plans to build his gourmet coffee shop inside one of his medical centers. AI as a Cognitive Revolution Dan's framing: AI isn't a technological revolution — it's a cognitive revolution. He compares its impact to the introduction of zero in mathematics, which made economics, double-entry bookkeeping, and science possible. Practical example: Dan used to need four weeks to structure a new book. With AI, the same work takes four hours. He now writes a new book every quarter. John's vibe-coding story: his Team built the entire Greater Game Dashboard for roughly $2,000–3,000 using Lovable — after being quoted $50,000/year from a top vendor. They own the code and iterate freely. Joe's counterpoint: the killer app today is being fully human — knowing how to bond, connect, and think for yourself. "Write with your hands, think with your brain."  The Greater Game Dashboard John built this free interactive tool at TheGreaterGameDashboard.com to put the book's framework into action. The 15-minute assessment shows you exactly where you stand relative to peers and the 10 Greater Multipliers. The dashboard automatically calculates what your company is worth to a buyer today — and shows how each improvement raises that number. Dan calls it the greatest tool he's seen in 52 years of coaching Entrepreneurs. Monthly updates include an Entrepreneur Pulse confidence index. Useful whether you ever intend to sell or not — knowing your number changes how you invest in your business. Building Great Teams: Cast, Don't Hire Dan's principle: Strategic Coach treats itself as a theater company — with backstage and front-stage roles. They don't hire for jobs, they cast for roles. Every new hire is there to free up someone already in the company. Babs Smith built the Strategic Coach Team around Dan from the start — several Team members have now been with the company 20–30+ years. Beware the Founder-as-salesperson trap: if you're great at selling, you'll hire the wrong people — you'll confuse their excitement for the role with fit for the role. John, Joe, and Dan all find talent primarily through communities — mastermind groups, Genius Network, Strategic Coach — rather than ads. Great people seek out great people. Dan's upcoming book (Hay House): Casting Not Hiring. IP as a Strategic Asset Dan has had 82 thinking tools patented by the US Patent Bureau (none rejected), with 75 more pending. Each patent is a borrowable asset — you can borrow up to half the appraised value, creating a private intellectual property bank. Joe Polish's company operates as an ESOP — all Team members become equity owners after a vesting period, creating a true ownership culture without requiring employees to buy in upfront. Genius Youth and the Human Connection Advantage Joe's Genius Youth program focuses on skills AI can't replicate: human connection, handwritten notes, cold plunges, cooking and hospitality, ethical influence.

What really happens to the people who hurt you when they die? The narcissist. The abuser. The one who broke you and never once looked back. Is there justice waiting for them on the other side, or something far more surprising, far more humbling, and far more healing than anything a courtroom could ever deliver?  Michael welcomes back Suzanne Giesemann, former naval commander, one of the world's most respected evidential mediums, and the author of seventeen books, including her stunning new release Always Connected, for a conversation that covers the full spectrum of what it means to be human, to be hurt, and to finally understand why none of it, not one moment, was ever wasted. From two back-to-back readings with men she can only describe as monsters, to the missing boy found after three years through a dead crow and an X on a log, to the two words - here, open, that pulled her back from the edge of overwhelm, Suzanne delivers the kind of evidence-based, soul-level reassurance that only comes from someone who speaks to the other side every single day. This isn't about psychics getting it wrong. This is about what actually happens when the nervous system drops away, and every soul, without exception, is met by the one thing it never expected: love. Key Topics: What happens to truly evil people the moment they cross the veil, and why being met by unconditional love is, for them, the most shocking and disorienting experience imaginable. The two back-to-back readings that changed everything: the man who said "I was a monster," the man who wasn't yet allowed to speak, and the angelic escorts that functioned, with total love and zero tolerance, like cosmic MPs.  Why hell is not a place but a state of consciousness, and what the life review actually feels like for those who caused the most harm (hint: they feel every single thing they made others feel, in full).  The Sylvia Browne lesson: why even gifted psychics can get it catastrophically wrong, and the sacred triangle of coherence that separates genuine evidential mediumship from dangerous guesswork.  The missing boy, Jack Canton: the dead crow, the rushing river, the painted X on the log, the cairn, and how Suzanne's conversation with a boy in spirit led searchers to bone fragments three years after the Montecito mudslide took him.  Why empaths and sensitive souls keep attracting swizzle straws, and the fear-based belief buried beneath every relationship where you couldn't stop caring for someone who was hurting you.  The nervous system as filter: why narcissists genuinely cannot feel the pain they cause in a body, and why that filter vanishes the instant they cross the veil, making every wound they ever inflicted instantly, viscerally, undeniably real to them.  Hey, Spirit - the napkin that became a book deal over brunch: how Siri, a missing P and T, and a conversation with the VP of Hay House turned into Suzanne's most profound work yet.  Returning to base: the two-word practice - here, open, that instantly drops you out of overwhelm and back into pure awareness, no matter how many transparencies have piled up on the overhead projector.  What to do when someone you love has Alzheimer's and has gone non-communicative, and why soul-to-soul conversation in meditation may be the most healing gift you can offer them, and yourself. Spirit has never once told Suzanne, "I'm not fine" from the other side. Not once. Not the grief-stricken, not the traumatized, not even the ones who were cocooned and couldn't speak yet. Every single soul, without exception, is held, guided, and moving forward. That includes yours. That includes everyone you've lost. And the moment you stop hoping that's true and start knowing it, the way Suzanne does, is the moment everything changes. Join the Inspire Nation Soul Family!

 Do you feel like you need to make a change? Do you feel like something is holding you back?  Are you ready for something new but aren't quite sure where to start?  Today's guest is author Nancy Levin who discusses her new book "Jump and Your Life Will Appear."  Nancy will help you understand how to negotiate the fears, set the boundaries, and give you the information on how to gracefully land on your feet after taking your leap. Do you sometimes seek external approval? Nancy explains that it starts by looking within first. She realized that she wanted people to think she was living a perfect life. She believed that that was more important than living a happy life. She shares the intimate story of her younger brother passing away and how that affected her. She sought external validation and recognized she was a people-pleaser. She realized that we draw to us people who reflect us. We disown qualities of ourselves and project them on others. This is part of our shadow. Often the people closest to us activate us the most. We will keep being tested by being triggered. We can ask ourselves, "What are you unwilling to change?" She talks about 10 steps to making a major change. Our bodies know the truth. She invites us to ask ourselves, "What are you hiding?" It comes down to making choices.  We can set boundaries. She explains how we can find our voice and become empowered. Nancy explains that suffering comes from our unwillingness to accept things as they are. If we are present and can fully choose, we can make different choices. Nancy is the bestselling author of "Jump … And Your Life Will Appear" and "Writing For My Life." She is a Certified Integrative Coach through The Ford Institute For Transformational Training. For more than a decade, she worked as the Event Director at Hay House, Inc. producing events and conferences focusing on self-empowerment, health, and spirituality, while weaving in her own story and poems to connect with audiences around the world.  Info: www.nancylevin.com.

In 1976, Merck's CEO told Fortune magazine his dream was to make drugs for healthy people and sell them to everyone. Fifty years later, that dream is the air we breathe.In this solo episode, Dr. Roger McFillin traces how a generation was taught that being human is a disease. He walks through the 1994 inflection point, the Zoloft commercial that rewrote a culture, the academics and journals and sales reps who built the influence machine, and the school-to-pediatrician-to-customer-for-life pipeline that captured childhood itself.He reflects on the recent HHS mental health summit, what it gets right, and what the bureaucrats are still unwilling to say out loud. He names what was lost in the trade. The wisdom passed down through generations. The understanding that emotions are a guidance system, not a malfunction.The mental health industrial complex is not a healthcare system. It's a control system. The drugs are weapons. The diagnoses are chains.This is how you walk out of the cage.

What if the aches, fatigue, and brain fog you've been writing off as "just getting older" are actually signs of chronic inflammation — and completely reversible? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Shivani Gupta, founder of Fusionary Formulas, Hay House author of The Inflammation Code, and a woman who literally got her PhD in turmeric. She shares her remarkable journey from a sick kid growing up between Houston and India, to studying at the feet of Ayurvedic gurus, to building a nutraceutical company that hundreds of doctors now recommend to their patients.Whether you're an entrepreneur pushing hard toward a big goal or someone who's just tired of feeling tired, this conversation will shift the way you think about your health.

Sarah and Jane sit down with Dr. Linda Howe, widely considered the leading international expert on the Akashic Records. If you've heard the term and still gotten a blank stare when you mention it to someone, this episode is your answer.  Linda starts from the ground up, explaining the records as a vibrational archive of every soul and its journey as a human being. No robed figures, no mystical gatekeeping. Just a profound and surprisingly accessible energetic field that anyone with a sincere desire to know themselves can enter. Linda walks us through the origin story of the Pathway Prayer Process, channeled at her kitchen table in 2001, the Saturday before 9/11 — and what it felt like to receive it. She talks about writing her original book, How to Read the Akashic Records, getting rejected by Hay House, telling the universe somebody else was going to have to call her, and then getting the call from Sounds True a year and a half later. That book has now been in the publisher's top 15 bestsellers since 2009, and Linda has just released a fully revised and expanded edition through Macmillan; 100 new pages and a glossary of terms developed through decades of teaching around the world. The conversation looks at what the records can actually offer: emotional safety, honest self-reflection, and the radical idea that our ultimate soul purpose is learning to love ourselves,  imperfection and all. Linda also shares what the records have to say about the current moment in the world, and why she believes real collective change has to start with the individual turning inward. Jane shares the story of the orange book basically chasing her around a crystal shop until she put it in her basket. We believe her. Key Takeaways: You cannot be removed from the record, and neither can anyone else. Every soul is part of the Akashic field. This isn't just a spiritual nicety — it's the architecture of why the records carry no judgment and hold space for every version of who we've been. The pathway prayer works by creating emotional safety, and emotional safety is what makes honest self-reflection possible. Linda's point is simple and worth sitting with: without that safety, growth isn't really growth. The records create the conditions for the kind of honesty we can't manufacture on our own. Most of us don't have one soul purpose — we have many. And underneath all of them is the same fundamental question: how do I learn to love myself, even now, even imperfect, even mid-mistake? The records orient us toward that question whether we come in asking for it or not. Real change in the world has to start inside each person. Linda's reading of the current moment through the records is that every institution people have looked to for change — political, religious, economic — has limits, and that a soul-led life is both the path and the point. Following the path that's truly yours often looks like not following the plan. Linda didn't set out to be the world's foremost Akashic Records teacher. She kept going because every time she thought she was done, the field revealed more. That orientation — staying open to what keeps unfolding — is something the records model and also teach.

You are the LIGHT!✨ Direct Quotes: "The Akashic Record is a vibrational archive of every soul and its journey as human." "The change must come as a result of the transformation within each person. The more I am aware of who I am, of my soul — that can only bring us the change we seek." "The ultimate purpose for everyone is: how do I love myself? Even though I'm not perfect, even though I just made a mistake." "Anyone who wants to — anyone with a sincere desire to know their own soul more — can through the Akashic Record."

The Buddha taught a path of awakened living, but how does that manifest in today's world of constant connectivity and widespread suffering? How do we keep our hearts open without being defined or hardened by the pain that surrounds us, whether personal, collective, or historical? How do we navigate the paradox of holding both pain and joy, without mistaking suffering for punishment or personal failure? Can we infuse our compassion with wisdom and perspective to find the agency to take meaningful action in our communities? In her new series, Engaged Compassion, Sharon delves into these questions and more, engaging in candid conversations with a diverse group of teachers, activists, and changemakers. For the third episode in the series, Sharon speaks with Anu Gupta, marking his fourth appearance on the Metta Hour.

Caroline Alan spent years in serious ill health — flattened adrenals, gut inflammation, chronic insomnia, recurring sinus infections, and a compromised immune system — before a single discovery changed everything: plant-based humic and fulvic mineral complexes. Without changing anything else, every symptom resolved over eight months. That curiosity sent her deep into the science of minerals, eventually leading to the founding of Be Minerals and now her debut book The Mineral Reset, published by Hay House. In this return episode, Caroline and Freddie unpack why minerals are the most overlooked foundation in all of health — not just electrolytes, but the full spectrum of 18 to 22 essential minerals your body needs in balanced ratios to run every biosynthesis process: hormone production, adrenal function, gut enzyme activity, cognition, detoxification, and energy generation at the mitochondrial level. Her campfire analogy is one of the clearest explanations of cellular energy you'll ever hear — and it will make you rethink every supplement in your cabinet. The second half of this conversation goes deep on the practical: why serum blood testing for minerals tells you almost nothing, why the OligoScan (spectrophotometry) is Caroline's preferred intercellular mineral test, why you can take magnesium every day and still test deficient, and how parasites, heavy metals, and candida all compete for your mineral receptor sites. Caroline and Freddie also explore the paradigm shift at the core of her book — stop treating your body like a car and start relating to it like a forest ecosystem — and why mineral balance is more important than mineral quantity. Plus: the surprising truth about hydration, why empty filtered water may pass straight through your cells without being absorbed, and how humic and fulvic minerals change the way water crosses your cell membrane.

This episode started with a dinner at my mom's house and a sentence I never expected to hear: "Oh yeah — I know Louise." I'd been talking about Louise Hay's inner child healing meditation, assuming my mom had never heard of her. What I didn't know was that back in 2009, when my dad left my mom after 34 years of marriage, a friend recommended she call a woman named Louise for support. That woman was Louise Hay — founder of Hay House, one of the biggest self-help publishers in the world. They started as client and coach. They became friends. And eventually, my mom paid for my dad to have his own sessions with Louise — sessions that helped him understand his pattern of sabotage and where it was rooted. I found Louise Hay independently in 2011. I'd been hiding it from my mom because I thought she'd think it was too "out there" for her Christian faith. Turns out she already knew her personally. That's not a coincidence. That's a thread. And this episode is about learning to see those threads for what they are — divine alignment, working quietly in the background, waiting for you to be ready to receive it. "My mom didn't find Louise in the good times. She found her because of the storm. The storm wasn't the punishment — the storm was the door." THE 4R FRAMEWORK Restriction Staying steady when nothing seems to be happening externally. The lighthouse season. Your restriction is never wasted. Rootedness Doing the inner work, holding the feminine, not chasing. God doesn't align you when you're running — He aligns you when you're rooted. Receiving Divine alignment sends you the right people, teachers, and mirrors — right on time. When the student is ready, the teacher appears. Ripple What you heal doesn't just change you — it changes everyone in your orbit. Your community is downstream of who you're becoming. THE LIGHTHOUSE AND THE SHIP The masculine is the ship — it goes out to sea, it pursues, it captures. The feminine is the lighthouse — she stays stationed, she holds the light, she makes it safe to return. A lighthouse that chases the ship is no longer a lighthouse. My grandparents just celebrated their 78th anniversary. My grandpa turns 100 in just days. That kind of staying power requires both people to know their role. My dad was the visionary — the ship. My mom was the structure — the lighthouse. When he sailed away and never came back, I believe something in him couldn't survive that separation from his purpose. The ship that stops returning to harbour eventually gets lost at sea. I'm still sitting with that realization. I share it not as a universal rule, but as something I've been quietly unwrapping — and as a reminder that God's alignment is never random. QUESTIONS TO SIT WITH What if the storm you're in right now isn't breaking you — what if it's the door? Are you trying to be the ship AND the lighthouse at the same time? What would it look like to stop chasing and start shining instead? Where has God already sent you the right person — and did you recognize it? Is your brand being built from the ship or the lighthouse right now? JOIN US THIS MONTH I Made It May A 30-day sales challenge with my mentor Bridget. 17 women in — goal is 100. $33 to join.

In this illuminating and refreshingly honest conversation, Anna sits down with Richelle Fredson, Book Proposal Coach, publishing aficionado, and former Director of Publicity & Book Marketing at Hay House. With 20+ years of industry experience — including roles in acquisitions, author development, and major launches — Richelle has helped thousands of authors turn their ideas into compelling proposals and land publishing deals.Richelle has worked with powerhouse authors like Farnoosh Torabi, Chrissy King, Jennifer Racioppi, Terri Cole, Jen Winston, and more. But what makes her so unique is her commitment to transparency. She lifts the veil on an industry that often feels opaque, intimidating, and gatekept — and replaces fear with clarity and empowerment.This conversation goes far beyond book deals. It's about visibility, identity, confidence, and what happens inside someone when they decide to put their voice into the world in print.In this episode, we explore:• Why Richelle believes we need more books — especially from mission-driven leaders, creatives, and underrepresented voices• Why the idea that “there are already enough books” is a myth that keeps people silent• The most common fears aspiring authors face (imposter syndrome, pressure to have a perfect platform, fear of rejection) and how she helps them move through it• How the publishing industry actually works — and what most people misunderstand about it• Why a strong book proposal is not just a business document, but a clarity document• The deeper emotional and identity transformation authors experience during the proposal and writing process• How visibility wounds show up when someone starts writing a book — and what it takes to move through them with compassion• Why writing a book is as much about personal evolution as it is about craft, platform, or salesWhether you're already writing, secretly dreaming, or just curious about the world of publishing, this episode gives you both the strategy and the soul of what it takes to bring a book to life.

Do you feel it? There's a weight in the world right now. You hear it in conversations, see it in the news, and feel it in the tension people carry in their bodies. And if you're sensitive or intuitive, it doesn't just pass by, you feel it deeply.In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau puts words to something many people are feeling but can't quite explain, the emotional weight of living in a world that feels constantly unsettled. This conversation speaks directly to those who don't just notice what's happening, but absorb it.Susan gently walks through why our nervous systems aren't designed to hold a constant stream of global pain and uncertainty, and what starts to happen when we stay in that heightened state for too long. She also breaks down the difference between judgment and discernment, how one creates separation, while the other allows you to stay aware without losing your grounding.There's also a deeper reminder here, you're not going through this alone. The spirit world, and the loved ones who have crossed over, remain present, offering guidance, support, and perspective in quiet, often unseen ways.At its core, this episode is an invitation to come back to yourself. Through compassion, regulation, and presence, it shows how to stay steady without shutting down.Tune in to reconnect with your calm, protect your energy, and stay grounded in the middle of it all.In This Episode:[00:00] Introduction [00:32] The emotional weight of the world[01:13] How we hold the weight of the world without breaking[02:28] Energetic influence and emotional contagion[06:00] Compassion vs. judgment and discernment[07:09] Spirit world's perspective on humanity[08:19] Life review and compassion after death[10:20] Carrying a grace card[14:02] Spiritual strength and groundedness[14:50] The power of compassion[15:16] Navigating anger and confusion[18:30] Understanding and discernment in conflict[19:44] Emotional and spiritual maturity[23:13] Choosing wisdom over reaction[23:50] Story of anger and compassionate correction[25:21] Guided centering and nervous system exercise[27:58] Closing reflection and call to compassionNotable Quotes[01:57] "Judgment separates.

In this episode, we go behind the scenes and explore what it really takes to bring a mystical deck to life.We talk about what happened when Hay House first approached her to illustrate a deck focused on the Dark Moon and divine feminine archetypes, especially since her personal work tends to focus on oneness, integration and the merging of light and shadow.You'll hear:How Lindsay approaches creating an oracle card deckWorking with shadow work and Dark Moon energyThe card she found most challenging to illustrateWhy Nyx became one of her favouritesWhat it's really like to receive feedback from multiple editors and art directorsThe balance between creativity, motherhood and commercial deadlinesHow meditation, walking in nature and stepping away from the canvas are essential parts of her processThe difference between commissions and licensing for artistsWhy she rarely gives faces to the women in her personal artworkHer perspective on oracle cards as a tool for guidance rather than predictionWe also talk about astrology, lunar living, the pull of the Dark Moon, and how working on this deck deepened her own understanding of Goddess energy.Lindsay shares insights into:Living between Nova Scotia and MoroccoHow place influences artistic expressionCreating as meditationTrusting intuition over external validationMaking a living as a modern artistIf you've ever wondered how an oracle deck is actually created, or if you're an artist yourself dreaming of bringing your own deck into the world, this conversation is full of wisdom and practical insight.And if you already have the Dark Moon Oracle Cards, this episode will help you connect even more deeply with the energy behind the images.Connect with LindsayInstagram: @infinite_mantraWebsite: infinitemantra.caResources MentionedThe Dark Moon Oracle CardsAvailable www.darkmooncards.com and wherever oracle decks are soldIf you loved this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs a little Dark Moon magic in their life.And as always, stay in tune with the Moon.Join the Mainly Moonology inner circle: https://moonmessages.com/magical––Follow Yasmin on socials:✨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yasminbolandmoonology✨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moonologydotcom/––Mainly Moonology is a podcast for people looking to manifest their dream life leveraging the power of the moon.

In this episode, we go behind the scenes and explore what it really takes to bring a mystical deck to life.We talk about what happened when Hay House first approached her to illustrate a deck focused on the Dark Moon and divine feminine archetypes, especially since her personal work tends to focus on oneness, integration and the merging of light and shadow.You'll hear:How Lindsay approaches creating an oracle card deckWorking with shadow work and Dark Moon energyThe card she found most challenging to illustrateWhy Nyx became one of her favouritesWhat it's really like to receive feedback from multiple editors and art directorsThe balance between creativity, motherhood and commercial deadlinesHow meditation, walking in nature and stepping away from the canvas are essential parts of her processThe difference between commissions and licensing for artistsWhy she rarely gives faces to the women in her personal artworkHer perspective on oracle cards as a tool for guidance rather than predictionWe also talk about astrology, lunar living, the pull of the Dark Moon, and how working on this deck deepened her own understanding of Goddess energy.Lindsay shares insights into:Living between Nova Scotia and MoroccoHow place influences artistic expressionCreating as meditationTrusting intuition over external validationMaking a living as a modern artistIf you've ever wondered how an oracle deck is actually created, or if you're an artist yourself dreaming of bringing your own deck into the world, this conversation is full of wisdom and practical insight.And if you already have the Dark Moon Oracle Cards, this episode will help you connect even more deeply with the energy behind the images.Connect with LindsayInstagram: @infinite_mantraWebsite: infinitemantra.caResources MentionedThe Dark Moon Oracle CardsAvailable www.darkmooncards.com and wherever oracle decks are soldIf you loved this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs a little Dark Moon magic in their life.And as always, stay in tune with the Moon.Join the Mainly Moonology inner circle: https://moonmessages.com/magical––Follow Yasmin on socials:✨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yasminbolandmoonology✨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moonologydotcom/––Mainly Moonology is a podcast for people looking to manifest their dream life leveraging the power of the moon.

Did you know that some of the emotions you carry today may not have started with you? That deep anxiety you can't explain. The guilt, the fear, the heaviness that seems older than your current life circumstances. What if those feelings didn't begin in your story, but were passed down to you?In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau explores the powerful and often unseen reality of emotional inheritance, the patterns, fears, survival responses, and unprocessed grief passed down through families and generations.She explains how we don't just inherit physical traits or beliefs, but emotional environments. As children, we absorb tension, silence, expectations, and coping strategies long before we have language for them. Over time, these patterns can feel like identity, even when they are adaptations.Susan introduces a powerful metaphor, the “invisible suitcase”, the emotional weight we carry that was never consciously chosen. Inside it can be inherited fear, shame, hypervigilance, people pleasing, or the belief that love must be earned.This episode goes beyond awareness into healing. Susan shows how these inherited patterns live in the nervous system, shape our relationships, and influence how we see ourselves. She reframes these responses not as flaws, but as intelligent survival strategies that once protected us.Most importantly, she offers a compassionate path forward, one rooted in awareness, self responsibility, and choice. Healing doesn't mean blaming the past. It means recognizing what was passed down, and deciding what you no longer want to carry. Tune in to understand your emotional patterns and begin breaking the cycle.In This Episode:[00:00] Welcome and episode introduction[00:52] Introduction to emotional inheritance[02:29] What emotional inheritance really means[03:40] How children absorb the emotional atmosphere before words[05:20] The invisible suitcase we carry[08:03] Everyday signs and emotional triggers[11:49] Nervous system and sense of safety[15:15] Inherited roles within the family[19:35] Grief that gets passed down[26:32] Loyalty to pain and suffering[29:56] How healing shifts the system[30:25] Losing yourself in family roles[31:22] Boundaries and family backlash[31:56] Healing without emotional reaction[32:30] Dread and inherited fear patterns[34:36] Moving from blame to choice[35:21] Soul contracts and family lineage[37:12] Sensitivity of cycle breakers[40:10] Compassion while holding boundaries[43:37] Signs you carry inherited patterns[45:56] Awareness instead of blame[48:54] Noticing patterns and practicing change[54:08] Practical tools for healing[57:17] Parenting as a mirror and shifting the lineage[59:58] Cycle breakers: The loneliness and the liberation[01:02:23] Shame: protective strategies[01:03:19] Reframing how you see your own behaviors[01:04:13] Closing remarksNotable Quotes[14:11] "Healing, emotional inheritance, it has to involve compassion because you can't shame your nervous system into safety."[46:05] "Blame says you did this to me and now I stay stuck. Awareness says this affected me and I'm allowed to understand it so I can heal."[53:44] "You're not betraying your family by becoming whole."[58:23] “You don't have to perfectly parent to interrupt emotional inheritance.

Intention is generally viewed as a pit-bull kind of determination, propelling one to succeed at all costs by never giving up on an inner picture. In this view, an attitude that combines hard work with an indefatigable drive toward excellence is the way to succeed. Dr. Dyer views intention differently and explains it as a force in the universe, and everything and everyone is connected to this invisible force that allows the act of creation to take place.One of Larry's favorite books is The Power of Intention by Dr. Wayne Dyer. Listen as he shares some wisdom thoughts from Wayne Dyer about wholeness and abundance. (The Power of Intention by Wayne W.

Have you ever felt like you're doing everything “right,” yet still feel off, disconnected, or overwhelmed? In this deeply insightful episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau takes us on an extraordinary journey through the concept of soul healing, exploring the profound truth that your soul is never broken. Healing doesn't come from fixing your soul; rather, it is about allowing your soul to recalibrate your human experience.Susan reveals how painful disruptions in life, from grief to rejection, serve as moments of recalibration and the soul's powerful call to re-align with truth. With compassion, Susan offers a gentle yet firm approach to letting go of false identities, shedding the narratives that hold us back, and embracing the clarity that comes from honoring our soul's wisdom. It's time to stop running from pain and start integrating it, allowing the soul to guide you toward true healing and steady inner peace.In this episode, Susan highlights the importance of not only emotional regulation but embodying personal truths and creating boundaries. By integrating shadow work, recognizing the true source of wounds, and releasing what no longer serves us, we allow the soul's clarity to shine through. This is not just about surviving, it's about thriving and growing, even when life feels uncertain or out of control.In This Episode:[00:00] Introduction[01:30] Understanding the Soul's True Nature[03:05] Recalibrating the Human Experience[05:00] Releasing False Identities[07:10] Grief and Emotional Healing[09:00] Radical Honesty with Yourself[11:40] Regulating Your Nervous System[13:00] Shadow Work: Integrating the Wounds[16:25] The Importance of Boundaries[18:30] Releasing Control[21:10] Moving Through Disruptions[23:00] Aligning with Your Soul's Truth[25:00] Living with Grace[27:00] Practical Tools for Recalibration[30:00] ConclusionNotable Quotes[12:00] "The wound is not what happened, but the moment you left yourself to survive what happened."[14:00] "Boundaries aren't about changing others, they're about how you choose to respond when others' behavior challenges you."[16:30] "Grief comes to clear distortion, and when it does, your soul will lead you to healing."[20:00] "When life feels like it's falling apart, it's often the soul's way of reorganizing what no longer serves you."[22:50] "Pain doesn't punish; it illuminates. It shows you where the misalignment is, so you can heal it."[25:15] "Integration is not about fixing yourself; it's about embracing every part of you with compassion and truth."Susan GrauSusan Grau is an internationally celebrated intuitive life coach, a key opinion leader, author, medium and speaker, who discovered her ability to communicate with the spirit world after a near-death experience at age four.

In this episode, Detective Ev sat down with Dr. Shivani Gupta, a leading voice in holistic health and chronic disease prevention, whose work bridges 5,000 years of Ayurvedic wisdom with modern functional medicine. Dr. Shivani's journey into wellness began with her own battle with chronic illness—an experience that led her to Ayurveda and ultimately transformed her life. Inspired to help others heal, she went on to earn a Master's in Ayurvedic Sciences and a Ph.D. focused on Turmeric, studying under renowned Ayurvedic experts in both India and the United States. At the heart of her work is The Inflammation Solution Program, a practical, integrative approach designed to help people—especially women—address chronic issues such as joint pain, weight gain, autoimmune symptoms, fatigue, and hormone imbalance. By blending traditional Ayurvedic principles with evidence-based functional medicine, Dr. Shivani empowers individuals to understand their bodies and restore balance from the inside out. We also dive into her new Hay House debut book, The Inflammation Code, where she reveals how hidden inflammation drives brain fog, metabolic dysfunction, accelerated aging, and more.     Want to watch this episode on YouTube? Click here. Subscribe if you'd like to catch all new episodes live and participate with our guests directly.   Want to learn more about becoming an FDN? Go to fdntraining.com/resources to get our best free workshops and mini-courses!

Have you been feeling an unexplained anxiety, a low-grade tension, or a sadness with no clear source? Do you feel perpetually “on alert,” emotionally raw, or disconnected from joy even when your personal life seems stable? You are not broken, and you are not alone.In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau addresses the palpable yet often nameless weight so many are carrying. This isn't about politics or prediction. It's a compassionate exploration of what it means to be a sensitive, perceptive human when the collective consciousness itself feels dysregulated.Susan explains how widespread grief, fear, and unresolved trauma create an atmosphere of “ambient suffering” that our nervous systems, especially those of empaths, healers, and caregivers, cannot help but absorb. This leads to symptoms like chronic anxiety, irritability, emotional numbness, brain fog, and exhausting mental loops as our systems search for closure and safety that the external world cannot provide.Moving beyond spiritual bypassing, Susan offers a practical and somatic path back to yourself. She reframes anxiety not as a thought problem, but as a nervous system signal. She redefines confusion not as incompetence, but as the necessary “space between stories” when old maps no longer fit. The core of healing, she reveals, lies in one vital shift, moving from the question “Is this story true?” to “Is this story regulating my nervous system?”This episode is a gentle, firm guide to empowerment through inner authority. It's about learning to discern what energy is yours to carry and what belongs to the collective, and how to release the latter without guilt. Susan provides actionable anchors, like pausing your internal narrative, regulating your body, and shrinking your timeframe to the present moment, to help you reclaim your grounding, your peace, and your power.In This Episode:[00:00] Introduction [01:24] Collective emotional overwhelm[02:38] Dysregulation and self-regulation[03:38] Ambient suffering and emotional reactivity[06:12] Nervous system and collective stress[07:27] Symptoms of overload and disconnection[08:24] Anxiety: body vs. mind[10:30] Confusion as a developmental stage[12:40] The stories we tell ourselves[14:50] Survival stories and letting go[16:58] Regulating the nervous system[19:01] Empowerment without bypassing[20:17] Personal vs. collective anxiety[22:36] Grounding and sensation of safety[24:06] Returning to self: practical solutions[25:42] The limits of control and self-relationship[28:55] ConclusionNotable Quotes[01:19] "Nothing's wrong with you. And I don't mean that in a motivational way. I mean it in a psychological way. In an emotional way."[02:59] "We don't need to bury our heads in the sand... But how do we self-regulate so that we can handle what's going on?"[08:19] "Our nervous system needs closure, and when it doesn't have it, it plays a loop in our brains."[11:21] "Confusion is the space between the stories."[11:38] "The old map no longer fits, but the new map hasn't been drawn yet."[16:27] "A thought can feel absolutely true and still not be truth."[21:38] "You are not meant to metabolize the entire world. You are allowed to release what does not belong to you."[22:43] "Safety is not an idea. It's a sensation."[19:01] "Empowerment doesn't have to be loud.."[29:02] "The only control you have is over you. And that is the scariest comment, isn't it?"[30:08] "Don't run from fear. Shake hands with it, face it and look it in the eye."Susan GrauSusan Grau is an internationally celebrated intuitive life coach, a key opinion leader, author, medium and speaker, who discovered her ability to communicate with the spirit world after a near-death experience at age four.

Welcome to the SYNC Your Life podcast episode #349! On this podcast, we will be diving into all things women's hormones to help you learn how to live in alignment with your female physiology. Too many women are living with their check engine lights flashing. You know you feel "off" but no matter what you do, you can't seem to have the energy, or lose the weight, or feel your best. This podcast exists to shed light on the important topic of healthy hormones and cycle syncing, to help you gain maximum energy in your life.  In today's episode, I interview BEAM Minerals founder Caroline Alan on the topic of minerals and the role they play in our health. Caroline is a mineral researcher, educator, and author of the upcoming Hay House book The Mineral Reset: The Essential Guide to Replenishing Your Body and Restoring Your Health (April 2026, with foreword by Dr. Mindy Pelz). Caroline is on a mission to make mineral replenishment foundational to women's health and midlife vitality. Her research shows that many of the most frustrating symptoms in perimenopause and beyond—joint pain, fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, anxiety, and poor sleep—are rooted in widespread mineral depletion that accelerates with age and hormonal shifts.

In this mini-episode of The Afterlight Podcast with Lauren Grace, Pamela Chen offers a simple but powerful way to know if you're following your intuition—or just listening to fear. She shares the question she always asks herself before making decisions, and explains how to recognize when you're acting from excitement and alignment versus from lack and self-doubt. This conversation is a reminder that intuition is gentle, expansive, and rooted in trust, while fear often comes from old conditioning that keeps us small.

Did you know that gaslighting doesn't only happen in romantic relationships, but can show up in families, friendships, workplaces, spiritual spaces, and even inside your own mind long after the other person is gone?In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau talks honestly about gaslighting, not as a buzzword, but as something that slowly teaches you to doubt yourself. Your memory. Your feelings. Your intuition. Drawing from her own experience and the work she's done with clients, Susan explains how gaslighting can leave you disconnected from your body, unsure of your truth, and constantly questioning whether you were right or wrong.She shares why the impact of gaslighting often continues long after the relationship or situation has ended, and why that ongoing self-doubt isn't a flaw. It's a survival response. Susan also talks about what healing really looks like, and it's not dramatic or confrontational. It's quiet and reparative. Learning to believe in yourself again. Reducing contact with invalidating energy. Setting clearer boundaries. Letting yourself rest, pause, and be silent without guilt.This episode is a gentle reminder that if you were gaslit, you were not weak. You were trusting, open, and human. Healing begins when you stop looking to others for closure and start choosing yourself, even when it feels uncomfortable.In This Episode:[00:00] Introduction [01:30] Gaslighting beyond romantic relationships[02:46] Defining gaslighting and its effects[04:02] Common phrases and accountability avoidance[05:22] Impact on intuition and self-trust[06:44] Personal experience and disconnection[08:57] Overriding intuition and survival response[10:10] Self-abandonment and explaining pain[11:12] Avoiding invalidating people and relearning self-care[12:18] Reparative self-care and trusting yourself[13:33] Physical responses and recognizing gaslighting[14:37] Slowing down and silence without guilt[15:49] Setting boundaries and reducing exposure[17:46] Distance as protection, not punishment[18:42] Self-love as loyalty and choosing peace[19:47] Why people stay and the role of hope[22:02] Healing feels quieter and rooted[23:13] Freedom from needing admission[24:34] The loop: replaying conversations[25:33] Closure comes from within[26:40] Breaking the loop and nervous system repair[27:47] Longer gaps and present-moment healing[28:53] Self-love means releasing the need for clarity[29:30] Conclusion Notable Quotes[03:26] “You stop asking, ‘Is this okay?' And start asking, ‘Am I okay for feeling this?'”[04:58] “Most gaslighting comes from people who cannot tolerate accountability.”[08:45] “Gaslighting separates you from your inner knowing.”[11:22] “You weren't too much. You were too aware for someone who needed control.”[12:09] “Self-care isn't a bubble bath. It's relearning how to listen to yourself without apology.”[13:24] “Your experience is valid because you lived it.”[19:15] “I choose peace over being right.”[21:18] “Staying doesn't mean you were weak. It means you were human.”[21:39] “Leaving is not a failure. It's wisdom arriving.”[25:53] “The same person who distorted your reality cannot be the one who restores it.”[27:47] “Some chapters do not end with understanding. They end with self-respect.”[28:42] “My peace does not require permission.”Susan GrauSusan Grau is an internationally celebrated intuitive life coach, a key opinion leader, author, medium and speaker, who discovered her ability to communicate with the spirit world after a near-death experience at age four.

What if your spirit guides have been with you your entire life, quietly guiding, protecting, and nudging you forward long before you ever knew what to call them? In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau explores who spirit guides truly are, how they communicate, and why so many people feel disconnected from their guidance even when it has been there all along.Susan clears up common myths, including the idea that guidance should be loud, dramatic, or urgent. True guidance, she explains, is subtle, calm, and grounded in clarity, not fear. She breaks down the ways guides communicate: through body sensations, repetition, timing, silence, curiosity, emotional resonance, and even exhaustion, especially during grief, trauma, or periods of spiritual awakening.Importantly, Susan reminds us that guides do not override free will, demand obedience, or remove pain. Their role is to help us reconnect with integrity, truth, and self-trust. This episode is not about becoming psychic or chasing signs. It is about remembering what your soul already knows and learning to listen to the quiet wisdom that has been guiding you all along.In This Episode:[00:00] Introduction[00:46] Understanding spirit guides[02:00] Myths and truths about spirit guides[03:28] How spirit guides communicate[11:52] Recognizing guidance through the body[15:08] The role of silence in guidance[16:48] Guidance during grief and trauma[19:03] The purpose of guides[20:43] Guidance and life's momentum[21:08] Understanding guidance and integrity[22:00] Recognizing and trusting your inner voice[22:16] The role of fear in blocking guidance[22:40] The mind vs. the soul[23:46] Guidance through erosion and discomfort[25:18] The importance of timing and boundaries[26:40] Emotional reactions and recognition[27:24] Disruption of habits and growth[29:17] Dreams as a communication tool[29:58] Curiosity and exploration[30:42] Exhaustion and alignment[31:25] Guides and the truth of your path[32:50] Integration and embodiment of guidance[34:00] The role of spirit guides in your life[40:48] Final thoughtsNotable Quotes[03:08] “Guides don't shout, they signal.”[05:06] “Your guides don't leave during grief. They move closer.”[10:58] “Guidance is efficient. It's not theatrical.”[15:41] “Silence usually means integration is required… It shifts authority from external reassurance to internal stability.”[16:53] “In grief, communication often becomes more physical and emotional rather than verbal.”[19:58] “Fear is never the voice of a guide. Urgency, shame, pressure, these are not guidance.”[22:00] “Most people are already hearing their guides and calling it something else: intuition, gut instinct, coincidence, luck.”[31:33] “Guides do not communicate to make your life easier. They communicate to make it truer.”[33:29] “Guides communicate until you no longer need to be convinced that you are guided.”[40:51] “Spirit guides are not here to tell you who to be. They're here to remind you who you already are.”Susan GrauSusan Grau is an internationally celebrated intuitive life coach, a key opinion leader, author, medium and speaker, who discovered her ability to communicate with the spirit world after a near-death experience at age four.

Battling chronic inflammation, gut chaos, or sleep sabotage as an autistic/AuDHD/ADHD young adult?

Overwhelmed by nervous system overload, teeth-grinding stress, or masking as an autistic/AuDHD/ADHD young adult?

Original airdate: March 21, 2023 We're all born with individual rhythms that go beyond the influence of our genes and upbringing. The Five Elements is one of the systems that we can use to understand our rhythms. The system originated in ancient Chinese medicine 2,000 years ago–when scholars theorized that the universe is composed of five forces: water, wood, fire, earth, and metal.  Our guest Dondi Dahlin will help us understand the five elements better and how we can use it to transform ourselves. Dondi Dahlin is an award-winning public speaker and has been seen on Hay House, Shift Network, OMEGA Institute, Mindvalley, and ACEP. She is also a popular teacher spreading Eden Energy Medicine and the Five Elements through international workshops. She co-authored The Little Book of Energy Medicine and her book The Five Elements became a best-seller when it was released in 2016. Dondi is also an internationally-acclaimed dancer, actress, and teacher in television, film, and stage for over 30 years.  In this interview, Dondi explains the personality types represented by the five elements of water, wood, fire, earth, and metal and how we can use them to stay in balance physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. She also talks about how we can use it to improve our relationships with others.

What actually happens inside your body when you don't eat for 72 hours? Fasting for three days has become one of the most talked-about healing tools — but it's also one of the most misunderstood. Some people believe it's dangerous. Others think it's a quick fix. The truth lives somewhere in between. In this solo episode, I walk you step-by-step through what happens in the body during a 72-hour fast, from blood sugar shifts and ketone production to autophagy, inflammation reduction, immune system renewal, and brain healing. This episode is designed to educate, not pressure. We'll talk about who should and should not attempt a longer fast, why preparation matters, how women should approach fasting differently than men, and how to use fasting as a powerful reset. This episode also serves as a foundational resource for our upcoming FREE 3-Day Water Fast with Hay House, starting January 5, 2026.
