Most people wait for burnout, conflict, or disaster before ending something that’s no longer in alignment.

We’ve both done that in the past, pushing forward because things were “still going well,” even when a quiet inner voice was saying it was time to move on.

But sometimes, the most life-giving move is to complete a chapter while there’s still joy, ease, and connection in it.

In this special final episode, we pull back the curtain on our decision to end the podcast, while it’s still thriving. We explore why completion can be the most creative act of all.

For us, it’s been about endings without drama, the art of listening to our “inner advisor,” and the unexpected magic that unfolds when you step into the unknown with clarity and curiosity.

We reflect on more than two years of deep, unfiltered dialogue, the guests who bared their hearts, and the body of work we’ve created together.

We discuss how this podcast has captured many of our most important conversations, and why it now feels like a beautiful exhale, making space for what’s next.

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

-Why we end things while they’re still thriving

What does it take to step away from something good, without fear, doubt, or regret—and trust that it’s time to move on?

-How to listen to your “inner advisor”

What’s the difference between a passing whim and the deep clarity that tells you to take a new path?

-The power of letting go before burnout

Why stopping while you’re energized can be the most generous, creative choice you make.

-Stepping into the unknown with wonder

How clarity, curiosity, and trust can make the next chapter even more vibrant than the last.

Most people are either rehashing the past or obsessing over the future - never living in the present moment.

The result? Walking around with major incompletions that keep us from connection, creativity, and wholeness. Carrying unfinished conversations, unspoken words, unresolved feelings, and unfelt experiences.

And that robs us of something precious…all the incredible things we could be creating right now!

Completion isn’t about perfection or checking every box. It’s the deep, often uncomfortable practice of letting go of past regrets, imagined futures, buried emotions, and the need to control what can’t be controlled.

When we learn how to complete and release, we create space for what’s trying to emerge right now, and that’s where the richest experience can be found.

Why is it so hard to live in the present moment? How do we detach from the past and the future?

In this episode, Gay Hendricks returns to talk about one of life’s most powerful skills: knowing how and when to let go. We discuss how to complete things and why that makes room for essence, energy, presence, and genius. 

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

-Why we stay in the past (or worry about the future)

What’s really behind our resistance to being in the present moment? Why are the past and future safe distractions from the wild creativity of now?

-The hidden cost of incompletions

How do unspoken feelings, unfinished business, and mental replays block our ability to manifest new ideas, deepen relationships, and feel fully alive?

-The 10-second sweaty conversation that changes everything

What’s the one unarguable sentence that can complete years of stuck emotion, tension, or confusion in a relationship, in just seconds?

We think our voices are just how we speak, how we communicate, how we’re understood, but they are so much more than that.

They are our own unique vocal fingerprint, our own frequency, and a way people identify us, but it goes even deeper.

Our voices are instruments that communicate our inner landscape, and they can be vehicles for aliveness, creativity, healing, and wellbeing.

What’s funny is that we talk all the time, but many of us have never really heard our own voices.

That’s because our true voices often get lost in society’s rules about what sounds wrong or right, or the polite way to communicate.

So, how can we start letting our real voices out, and why is that simple act such a powerful healing modality? With the right practices, we can unlock our inner instrument and even turn it into a powerful orchestra.

How do we release the need to sound perfect? How do we reconnect with the raw, honest sounds that live underneath the scripts we’ve been taught?

In this episode, we’re joined by singer, composer, vocal improviser, and vocal educator, Noga Rappaport-Varadi. She shares how to embrace our voice and use it as another expression of our essence, one that reconnects us not only to our creativity but to our sense of play, presence, and power.

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

-Why we silence ourselves How does cultural and childhood conditioning shut down our voice, and how does that play out in everything from business meetings to relationships? 

-What gibberish can teach us about healing How can non-verbal vocalizations like face-flapping and humming disrupt anxiety and regulate the nervous system?

-How to “conduct” your inner orchestra What happens when you stop suppressing your inner voices and start playing with them instead?

-The last socially acceptable taboo Free vocal expression (not singing, not speaking, just sounding) still terrifies us. How do we slowly, gently reclaim it? 

Guest Bio

Noga Rappaport-Varadi is a singer, composer, vocal improviser, and vocal educator who has spent decades helping people rediscover the power and presence of their own voices. As the founder of Catalyze, a Geneva-based center for creative expression, she’s developed transformative group experiences that blend vocal improvisation, movement, embodiment, and play.

Drawing from her own classical background and her journey of unlearning perfectionism, Noga invites people to meet the many voices within them and give each one a sound. Through her concept of the inner orchestra, she guides people to become the conductor of their own internal symphony. Her work bridges vocal freedom with emotional healing. She has toured internationally as a performing artist, collaborated across cultures and languages.

We live in a world that trains us to focus on negativity. A world that wants us to contract, to judge, and expect the worst from ourselves (and others). That’s why being self-critical is our default.

We absorb the script early: that we’re not good enough, not lovable enough, not deserving of ease or joy. Over time, that internal voice becomes automatic, so automatic that we don’t even hear it anymore. Then your inner landscape shifts into wholeness, and you start to notice it more.

How do we shift ourselves out of that default state of negativity?

Sometimes, it’s as simple as anchoring ourselves with something that reminds us that we are deserving of wonderful things. A beloved stuffed animal, a goofy rubber ducky, or a simple action that interrupts the spiral, these anchors remind us of what’s still possible: connection, curiosity, happiness, and love.

When we surround ourselves with reminders of our softness and our worth, we start to rewrite the default script.

In this playful and profound episode, we delve into how small, meaningful objects and seemingly simple rituals can evoke powerful emotional shifts.

From feeding a roadrunner named Angus to discovering the magic of face-flapping, we unpack the hidden brilliance behind anchoring practices that help us come home to ourselves. 

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

-Your inner critic is running on autopilot Most of us default to self-judgment. How do we gently interrupt that loop using physical movement, play, and sensory cues?

-A rubber duck can change your life Symbolic objects are a powerful way to remind ourselves of the magic of connection. How can a childhood toy or scented fabric anchor us to self-kindness and creativity when we feel stuck?

-Noticing the drift How do we develop the subtle but powerful witness muscle that helps us recognize when we’ve left our center? What’s the quickest way to come back?

For so many people, excess weight isn’t about laziness or lack of willpower — it’s about carrying unspoken stories. It’s about living in a body that holds the weight of feelings your voice never got to share.

Because when you can’t tell the truth — or even acknowledge what’s real — your body will speak for you.

But what if the path to healing and releasing the excess weight is actually about allowing yourself to feel what you’ve buried? When you finally let yourself feel the big feelings, you stop accumulating them. You don’t have to numb out.

You don’t need to overeat, overspend, scroll endlessly, or surround yourself with things you don’t need. You don’t have to create padding — emotional or physical — between you and the world.

The problem is, society doesn’t want you to feel your feelings. When you’re asleep to your own inner world, it’s easier to move you through a life that isn’t really yours.

But what if you did something different? What if you turned those long-buried truths into tears — and, ultimately, into wholeness and aliveness?

In this episode, Sophie shares her own journey through weight loss, and how it was really about releasing what she’d been suppressing. We also explore how to turn coping mechanisms you once needed to survive into tools for healing and coming home to yourself.

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

-The real reason you might be overeating What if your late-night binges aren’t about hunger at all — but about the feelings you’re afraid might break you open? How does food become a veil between us and the truth?

-From hypervigilance to intuition If you grew up needing to read the room for safety, how can you shift that survival skill into a superpower — and trust your inner knowing instead?

-How to hold structure and flow at the same time Is it possible to be both strategic and intuitive? Logical and creative? How can straddling both worlds transform your career and relationships? 

-Feeling as liberation Why is letting yourself fully feel sadness or anger one of the most radical acts of self-love — and how can it set you free?

Fear isn’t just a fleeting feeling that visits quietly. It hijacks your nervous system, clouds your judgment, and makes even the smallest decisions feel paralyzing.

It’s a fog that clouds your decisions, disconnects you from your body, and shuts down your creativity and sense of possibility.

Triggered by something unexpected, challenging, or painful, fear can make us feel stuck, but there is a way out.

There’s a surprisingly simple but profoundly transformational framework we can use to regain clarity, agency, and aliveness, even in moments of deep uncertainty.

FACT is a way to access creativity and possibility in the face of fear, and today, we’ll show you how it works in action!

The truth is, you can find steadiness not in fixing everything, but in facing what’s true, accepting your experience, choosing how you want to respond, and taking action. It’s a practice of reclaiming yourself moment by moment.

How do we engage with all the emotions that come up when we’re uncertain or afraid? What’s the easiest path to new possibilities and choices?

This episode is a guide to using FACT, a simple four-step framework that helps you stay connected to yourself, even when fear takes hold.

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

-“I’m fine” is a lie The default response to stress might keep you stuck. How do you listen to your body and create room for what you’re really experiencing? 

-How to accept the unacceptable Most people focus on finding solutions. Can feeling exactly what’s happening lead to more possibilities? 

-The truth about our fears Our fears are often based on operating under what other people say. How do we stop focusing on what’s “normal” and start honoring what’s real for us?

-Living from fear without realizing it How does fear show up as over-achieving, anger, numbness, or people-pleasing? How do we shift into agency, one tiny choice at a time?

Learn more about the FACT Framework.

What if the aches in your body aren’t entirely yours? The shoulder pain, the gut tension, or the sense of incompletion might not just be physical. It could be the echo of a secret held for decades, maybe even generations?

Because here’s the thing: families hold secrets, but those secrets have a way of leaking out or leaving breadcrumbs. And if you’re connected to your intuition, you can sense that there’s something that’s not being said.

Most of us were taught to look forward, to toughen up, to leave the past behind. But what if that very suppression is why we can’t move forward? What if freedom lives not in forgetting, but in remembering?

In this episode, we’re joined by spiritual strategist, energy healer, and psychic medium, Christina Trifero.

We unpack the heavy cost of secrecy and the methods we can use to bring the unknown and unspoken out into the open. We also discuss how to be a healer without hero-ing yourself or compromising your own essence. 

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

-Secrets live in the body Could physical pain or chronic tension be carrying an emotional secret? How does naming what was once unspeakable change your relationship with your body?

-Intuition vs. inheritance What’s the difference between your soul’s knowing and your family’s emotional programming? How can you tell what’s truly you and what’s been passed down?

-How not to be a vessel for other people’s pain If you’re deeply empathetic or energetically sensitive, how do you hold others without absorbing their suffering?

We all have secrets, painful experiences, and even childhood challenges that affect us to this day. What if keeping them is what’s keeping us unwell?

Our culture teaches us to bottle in our truth, mask our emotions, and manage our image. But the body keeps score, and over time, that suppression turns into stress, disconnection, and even illness.

What if healing is about processing these things through our bodies?

That’s the lens Katie brings, not just as a psychologist or embodiment teacher, but as someone who’s lived it. Katie grew up in an environment where expression wasn’t welcome. Where looking the part was rewarded, but speaking your truth came with consequences. 

And yet, through a deep commitment to curiosity and movement, she found her way to something radically different.

By tuning into her body's signals and honoring the impulses society taught her to ignore, Katie uncovered a deeper intelligence. One that didn’t just help her heal, it helped her become. It also helped her pioneer a whole new way of understanding ourselves. 

It’s what turned a shy, observant girl into a pioneer in body intelligence and relational honesty. It’s also what led her to her purpose: helping others reconnect to their truth, not just through talking, but through breath, sensation, and somatic expression.

In this episode, Katie shares how secrets manifest in the body and how unprocessed emotions distort our relationships. We also discuss how pivotal moments from childhood, when metabolized, can become the very path to our genius.

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

-Secrets make you sick

What’s the hidden cost of withholding your truth, and how does transparency heal more than therapy ever could?

-The body as a bridge

Most people are so switched off from their bodies that it makes healing hard. How does tuning into physical sensation give you access to clarity, freedom, and your deeper self?

-From pain to power

Do people who thrive have harder childhoods? How do they learn to transmute their wounds into wisdom?

-Sound encased in skin

Music isn’t just something we experience; it’s a part of us. How do we find our own internal rhythm?

Most people don’t think of themselves as creative. We say, “I’m not artistic,” or “I can’t perform,” and leave it at that. But the truth is, creativity isn’t reserved for the select few.

It lives in everyone.

It’s baked into how we think, feel, dream, and respond to the world.

The problem is that most of us were taught to shut it down. We were told to color inside the lines, follow the rules, and keep things appropriate.

Over time, we stopped expressing the weird, wonderful parts of ourselves and started believing that creativity belonged only to the professionals.

But performers like Jennifer Blaine know better.

Jennifer is a comedian, improviser, and creativity coach who doesn’t just entertain, she activates. Her shows invite people to stop watching and start engaging.

Through playful characters, spontaneous interaction, and real-time coaching, she helps people bypass their inner critic and access the creative voice that’s been waiting inside them all along.

Because when someone is bold enough to play in public, it sparks something in the room. It gives the rest of us permission to try, to improvise, to be ridiculous, expressive, and alive.

How do we use play and improv to pull out our true expression?

In this episode, Jennifer shares how performance becomes a portal, why creative energy is always running beneath the surface, and how just a little bit of play can bring people back to life.

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

-The gaze that frees How does simply being seen without judgment ignite your creativity and confidence?

-Performance as permission

Why does witnessing play unlock something in you, and how can performers create the safety for that to happen?

-Improvising with life We’re all improvisers. So, how can you get better at dancing with the unknown instead of fearing it?

-From grief to genius Can play be the most honest response to pain, transition, or loss, and how does it open doors to new expression?

In a world that worships productivity, we’ve traded our inner spark for efficiency and completely lost the creativity that’s vital to flow.

For many of us, this disconnection with our creativity goes back to childhood. This is where we were taught not to be weird. Where we were trained to do things in one specific way, and forced to correct ourselves when we didn’t.

For years, we’ve heard negative things that have shaped how we feel about our creativity, so no wonder we’ve suppressed it.

But without play, coloring outside the lines, and trusting the parts of ourselves that don’t “make sense,” we’re cut off from something important.

When we begin listening to that inner nudge, just for 10 minutes a day, something extraordinary starts to happen. We come alive, playfulness begins to emerge, and our inner landscape will match our outer expression.

If our creativity has been boxed in for ages, how do we find it again? How do we venture from our zone of excellence into our zone of genius?

In this episode, we’re joined by Laurie Shiers, a lifelong writer and creativity coach who once thrived in the fast-paced world of advertising, but eventually realized she was living someone else’s version of success.

We talk about the systems that trained us to shut creativity down, and how to let our creativity become our leader, especially in moments of grief, transition, or reinvention.

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

-The zone of genius vs. the trap of excellence Are you succeeding at something that no longer lights you up? How can you tell if you’re in your true genius, or just doing what you’re good at?

-Creativity as a relationship Creativity is the old friend you abandoned. How do you repair that bond and make space for joyful expression again?

-The healing power of play How does play help us process pain? And why is creativity often the most honest response to grief, loss, or emotional stuckness?

-Permission to color outside the lines Why do we fear being “too much”? And what changes when we stop trying to be acceptable and start being fully ourselves?

Guest Bio

Laurie Shiers is a creativity coach, a believer in the power of play, and someone who knows firsthand how transformative a blank page—or a fresh start—can be. After spending 15+ years in advertising as a copywriter and creative lead, Laurie felt burned out, disconnected from herself, and knew it was time to make a change. So, she did what she hadn’t done in years: she returned to the sandbox. She played and wrote. She made potions and paintings. Not for work or for anyone else; just for joy. Through that process, Laurie rediscovered that creativity isn’t just about making something beautiful; it’s a tool for transformation, a way to shift perspective, and a path back to ourselves. A new focus was born. Today, as an ICF-credentialed Professional Certified Coach with a degree in human development, Laurie helps others reconnect with their intuition and desires to unlock new possibilities in their lives and careers. Through expressive arts including writing, painting, and embodiment practices, she guides artists, entrepreneurs, and those in recovery to get out of their heads, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and tap into what matters most. Laurie is the co-author of the bestselling book Mindset Mondays with DTK, the creator of Creative Block, and the maker of a series of guided journals designed to make self-discovery both playful and actionable. When she’s not coaching, you’ll find her writing poetry, making a mess in her art studio, or uncovering new ways to transform “what if?” into “why not?.” Visit https://www.laurieshiers.com/ to learn more.
