In this episode, I sit down with Jayme Alilaw — coach, opera singer, and founder of From the Core Coaching — for a conversation that moves through military discipline, nomadic surrender, and the slow work of rediscovering how to feel in a world that wants us to do everything but.

Jayme takes us through her path from enlisting in the Army to a decade of achievement-driven momentum, to the moment everything she'd built her success on stopped working. We talk about what it means to be led by intuition instead of forcing outcomes, why rest can feel like danger in a body shaped by capitalism and ancestral survival, and how grace — not more effort — is what actually carries you through the in-between.

We get into:

• Why "the path to peace is peace," and how chasing rest through hard work keeps you stuck in hard
• The difference between surviving (our comfort zone) and thriving (the real edge)
• Wisdom for the disorienting season between who you were and who you're becoming
• Why asking to be acknowledged for who you are, not what you produce, is advanced-level self-work
• Seeing your life — gutter and all — through the eyes of the divine

This one is tender, funny, and deeply honest. Grab your tea and settle in.
