In this special mother-daughter episode, Dr. Elizabeth Cook sits down with her 14-year-old daughter, Maggie, to talk about identity, self-acceptance, peer pressure, and the power of being a present parent. Together, they share personal stories, reflections, and insights on what it means to truly know yourself—at any age.

Most people don't live intentionally. They live in reaction, running on autopilot and calling it normal. They wake up tired, scroll before breathing, and spend their day chasing urgency instead of protecting purpose. Intentional living doesn't happen by accident. It happens when you slow down long enough to choose what matters and cut what doesn't. It starts with clarity: knowing your values, defining your standards, and letting those things guide your time, energy, and decisions. Without intention, your emotions lead, your patterns repeat, and your potential stays buried under distractions. Every yes you say out of guilt, every habit you follow out of fear, every time you stay silent when you should speak that's unintentional living. But when you train yourself to pause, to think, to act from identity instead of insecurity, you start building a life you're proud of. You don't need to be perfect. You just need to stop abandoning yourself. Because every moment you move on purpose, speak with clarity, and follow through with integrity, you prove to yourself that you're no longer available for chaos. You're available for alignment. And that's where everything starts to change.   Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

What does it really mean to live a meaningful life—and how do you know if you're doing it? In this episode, we're cutting through the noise, pressure, and Pinterest-perfection to get to the heart of it. Because purpose doesn't have to be loud to be life-changing. It doesn't have to trend to be true. Meaning is found in the relationships we build, the values we live, and the courage it takes to make choices that align with who we actually are—not who the world told us to be. So let's talk about how we build a life that, at the end of it—whenever that may be—we know it mattered. Our guest today is Marni Battista—entrepreneur, author, and transformational coach who helps women, especially in midlife, stop chasing the “have it all” myth and start living with radical alignment. Her new book, Your Radical Living Challenge: 7 Questions for a Meaningful Life, offers a framework to help you stop performing and start mattering, on your own terms. Whether your life's impact is massive or modest, visible or quiet, it still counts. And it's never too late to ask better questions—and start living more meaningful answers.

Do you have space in your life? Not time, but space. Space to think, reflect, imagine. After almost burning out in his 30s, Daniel Sih experienced a needed wake-up call, which saw him become a productivity expert and a ‘spacemaker’, advocating for creating meaningful space in our lives. Daniel is a firm believer that the best leaders and assets in any community and corporate environment are those that take the time to think, rather than those that book back-to-back meetings, and are fast responders to emails. Living an intentional life starts with making space, and Daniel is here to share his insights to help you get started.

Most people think a fully booked calendar is stressful—but in reality, it can be the most freeing tool you'll ever use. In this episode, Nick walks through exactly how he uses his calendar to organize his health, relationships, business, travel, and downtime so he can show up every week with clarity and intention.

In this opening episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on something I see every day—not just in my clients' lives, but in my own journey too.This episode is for the founder, leader, or high-achieving woman who's asking: “Why am I still exhausted—even when I'm doing the ‘right' things?”What I've come to realize—and what I share with you here—is this: Sometimes we're trying to build a life or scale a business from a place of healing… But we're still making decisions from survival. Still operating inside systems created by our trauma. Still trying to perform and achieve our way into safety.In this conversation, I walk you through:What it really means to define your Owner's Intent—and why this clarity is the foundation of everythingHow to discern whether you're truly running a profit-focused or growth-focused business (even if you think you know)Why strategy alone won't sustain you—and insight without infrastructure will collapse under pressureThe way trauma and emotional patterning show up in leadership, decision-making, and business designHow I restructured my entire business to align with my peace, my priorities, and my purpose—and why you can tooI also share deeply personal stories I've never told publicly about the decisions, pivots, and clarity that got me here.This isn't surface-level “build your dream life” talk. This is about reclaiming authorship—rewriting the operating system beneath your business and leadership so it's no longer driven by the need to prove, perform, or outrun burnout.By the end of this episode, you'll see your journey with new eyes—and walk away with the language and clarity to begin building from a healed, integrated, and intentional place.

In this episode, Shira Gill, author of Lifestyle: Your Guide to a More Organized and Intentional Life, joins the show to discuss her approach to minimalism and intentional living. Shira, a professional organizer, shares how she applies the principles of minimalism not just to physical possessions but to all aspects of life—helping to create space for what truly matters. In this conversation, we explore: The Meaning of Minimalism: Shira discusses how minimalism is not just about owning less but being radically intentional with your time, energy, and resources, and how it helps to clarify your values and priorities. The Power of Volume, Systems, and Habits: We dive into Shira's toolkit for simplifying life, which includes managing the volume of commitments, setting up simple systems, and creating sustainable habits that align with your goals.

Creating Simple Systems for Busy Lives: We discuss how simple, intuitive systems (like Shira's easy filing method) can save time, reduce friction, and maintain order without overwhelming yourself with complexity. The Importance of Saying No: Shira emphasizes the importance of recognizing when to say no to commitments, distractions, and activities that don't align with your core values, which is critical for maintaining clarity and energy. Shira's insights provide practical strategies to help you simplify your home, work, and life, creating the space and time needed for what really matters.

How do you create a business that SUPPORTS the life you want to live? For e.g. if you love to travel, or you love spontaneity, or you love working only in the afternoons and a few evenings per week - how do you create a business that allows for this lifestyle? If you're going through a rough season in life and have less energy to give to your business - how do you support yourself to give yourself and your life the attention it needs while continuing to move forward on your business? Today I‘m SO excited to be introducing you to one of the most important (and FAVOURITE) concepts I teach my clients in order to achieve this: it's called Intentional Life Design (“IDL”) and it's for you if you're a woman in business or a woman working in the coaching & personal development industry. IDL is a concept that allows you to create a world class business doing what you love while also LIVING the life you most need & desire in order to THRIVE. It's a personal development concept I teach that you can use whether you're a business owner or not, and it's fundamental to my World Class framework and Holistic approach to business. In this episode, you'll learn: 1. The 3 things you need to be attuned to at all times in order to THRIVE in life 2. The 3 steps which make up Intentional Life Design (aka HOW you create a business that SUPPORTS your desired life - no matter what phase of business you're in right now) 3. Powerful coaching prompts to get you started. Walk away from today's episode knowing that you truly can create anything and feeling pumped for your future (and probably slightly relieved)! Understand that your unique desires, needs and purpose are showing you what is possible for you, and feeling crystal clear on what you need to focus your attention on in order to create this. After all, your business and work in the world should be in support & HARMONY with your most beautiful life - that's the entire point! (Or, at least it is around here).

Creating Intentional Life Focus   In this episode of Richer Soul, Dave Lubelczyk, also known for the "The Focus Turbine," joined us to discuss how to align your actions with your deeper motivations to create a life of fulfillment and success. Drawing from his expertise in leveraging the brain's focus systems, Dave shared invaluable insights on living authentically and intentionally while balancing achievement with personal happiness.   Key Takeaways:  The Power of Focus: Dave emphasizes that what you focus on becomes your reality. He encourages listeners to concentrate on what matters most to craft a life that aligns with their true desires​. Fulfillment vs. Achievement: He highlights the importance of balancing fulfillment with achievement, likening it to a scale that requires constant counterbalancing rather than perfect harmony. The Blend, Not Balance: Dave prefers the term "blend" over "balance," suggesting that fulfillment and achievement coexist dynamically rather than existing as perfectly balanced entities​. Redefining Success: Success, according to Dave, is not just about financial growth but also involves designing a life that aligns with one's personal values and sense of purpose​​. Money Learning: Dave's relationship with money was influenced by his father, who prioritized fulfillment over financial gain. This upbringing shaped his understanding of the importance of aligning financial decisions with personal values rather than pursuing wealth for its own sake​.   About Dave Lubelczyk: Dave Lubelczyk, "The Focus Turbine," is a coach dedicated to helping individuals live with intention and authenticity. By leveraging the natural systems of the brain, he assists clients in achieving clarity and designing their lives around their deepest motivations. Learn more about Dave at TheFocusTurbine.com​.   Key Discussion Points:  Growing Up and Money: Dave shared how his upbringing shaped his financial psychology. His father's decision to leave a corporate job for a fulfilling career as a craftsman demonstrated that happiness often outweighs financial rewards​. Fulfillment First: Dave admits that placing fulfillment above financial stability in his early years was a challenge. It wasn't until he worked on counterbalancing the two that he found personal and professional success​. Work-Life Blend: Instead of striving for balance, Dave promotes a blend where different priorities come to the forefront at different times. He believes that true success lies in understanding when to emphasize fulfillment and when to focus on achievement.   Conclusion: Dave Lubelczyk's message is a reminder to focus intentionally on what truly matters in life. By aligning actions with core values and maintaining a dynamic blend between fulfillment and achievement, we can design a life that not only meets our needs but also inspires joy and purpose. His insights serve as a guide for anyone looking to harmonize success with personal happiness.   Links: www.TheFocusTurbine.com   Watch the full episode on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

Many of us have a picture of the kind of person we want to be but struggle to know how to get there. Living the life we want takes intentionality. A new year provides a natural beginning to set goals, kick poor habits, and pursue passions. It can feel overwhelming and therefore seem easier to quit two weeks in. As we step into 2025 and look to the year ahead, we want to help you put your best foot forward. Instead of new year resolutions, try new rhythms.In this week's episode we get practical in providing resources designed to help you live a more intentional life. We breakdown two resources: a Growth Plan and an Ideal Week. We share how these tools have helped us not just reach goals but implement sustainable rhythms. Here are the steps to develop a Growth Plan:Identify the Buckets in Your LifeEx: finances, spiritual health, friendships, work, school, etc.Write Your Current RealityWhat does your life look like in this area today?Identify your 2-3 Focus Areas for This SeasonYou can't make big strides in every area.

In Shira Gill's new book LifeStyled: Your Guide to a More Organized & Intentional Life, she provides a holistic view about how to reduce volume, create systems, and implement habits across a variety of life domains.
