Have you spent years doing everything “right”? Building your career, caring for others, keeping things together and still feel like something is off? 

Maybe it’s a quiet ache you can’t shake. 

That pull between might not be burnout at all. It might be a kind of betrayal you didn’t know you were carrying.

In this episode, I sit down with Lora Cheadle, author, speaker, and betrayal recovery coach. Lora’s story began with infidelity but led her deeper into the world of nervous system regulation, and the rebuilding of her self-worth. Lora brings a lived understanding of how our bodies often speak the truth before we can put them into words.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How societal expectations and perfectionism can cause emotional exhaustion and disconnection, especially in high-achieving women.
• What happens to your nervous system when you live in survival mode for too long and how self-betrayal becomes a coping mechanism.
• How to tell when your burnout symptoms are signs of deeper misalignment
• What your body is communicating through tension, fatigue, and restlessness.
• How expectation management can shift long-standing relationship dynamics
• Simple somatic tools to support nervous system balance and recovery.
• Ways to rebuild trust with yourself through internal validation instead of outside approval

This conversation is a gentle invitation to pause, breathe, and remember that you’re not broken. You’re human and you’re learning, healing, and coming home to yourself, one sensation at a time.

Here’s to honoring what your body already knows,

Laurie

You might’ve grown up believing you weren’t the “creative type.”

Maybe someone told you your art wasn’t good enough, or life pulled you toward what felt practical. After years of raising kids, caregiving, working, or just keeping things afloat, your creative side may have faded into the background.

But creativity never left — it’s simply waiting for you to notice it again.

In this episode, I sit down with Kevin Murphy, master illustrator, portrait artist, and founder of Evolve Artist, whose work has appeared in National Geographic and Rolling Stone. From freezing construction jobs to stay-at-home dad life and a thriving art career, Kevin’s self-discovery journey is both real and inspiring.

What makes his story powerful isn’t just his success — it’s his belief that creativity isn’t about talent. It’s about process, attention, and learning to see differently.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why the creative mindset is something you can build at any stage
• How creativity myths keep us disconnected from our full selves
• Why painting for beginners is about trust, not talent
• A grounded way to move through creative blocks
• How artistic confidence grows from structure, not pressure
• The link between somatic healing and creative practice
• How to use art as hands-on learning and inner quiet
• First steps to begin learning to draw, even if you never have before

If you’ve been craving stillness, a new outlet, or a way to reconnect with the part of you that used to love creating — this is your gentle reminder: you were always creative. You just forgot to call it that.

Here’s to creating what calls to you,
Laurie

Dating in midlife isn’t for the faint of heart. Maybe your marriage or a long-term relationship ended, you’ve healed, and now you’re ready to date again—only to ride a rollercoaster of hope, disappointment, or those “fetal position on your bed” moments we don’t always admit. 

But what if dating wasn’t about forcing it or giving up—what if it was about trusting yourself, slowing down, and staying rooted in your worth? 

In this episode, I’m joined by Heidi Friedman—an accomplished attorney, writer, and debut author of Love Lessons. After surviving 104 dates (yes, you read that right), Heidi found her “do-over”—a healthy relationship built on mutual respect, care, and real connection. Her journey from single mom to thriving in love is both relatable and inspiring.

We dive into the emotional reality of dating in midlife—what it takes to stay intentional, hold clear relationship expectations, why “don’t settle” isn’t just a slogan, and how to hold onto hope when you’re a single mom dating. 

You’ll learn:

• If the 104 dates were worth it
• Why “don’t settle” isn’t just a catchphrase and how to embody it
• How to approach dating as a path to growth, not just a goal
• The mindset shift that kept Heidi open to love
• What intentional dating looks like in practice
• The emotional toll dating can have and how to return to yourself
• What emotional self-care looks like when dating feels discouraging
• How self-work strengthens you for your future partner

If you’ve ever wondered whether love is still possible for you, this conversation proves that it is—and that it can feel better, deeper, and more aligned than ever. 

Whether you’re hopeful, healing, or exhausted by dating, this episode will remind you: you deserve love that feels like home. 

Cheers to finding love,
Laurie

Have you ever sent a text to your teen or college-aged kid and immediately wondered if they rolled their eyes when they read it? Maybe you’re trying to stay connected as they move across the country—or even just across the house. 

If you’ve ever longed for a deeper bond with your child, this episode is for you.
I’m joined by Tammy Cohen—speaker, author, founder of Women Beyond the Table, and mom of three sons. Tammy is also the author of Text Messages to My Sons, a heartfelt book born from her own journey of healing, reconnection, and reimagining what parenting looks like in the digital age.

Tammy shares how she transformed her phone habits—from quick reminders and reprimands into intentional messages of love, gratitude, and presence. What began as a one-way practice during the pandemic grew into something much bigger: a pathway to emotional growth, mutual respect, and meaningful family communication.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Three simple parenting strategies to build daily digital connection with your kids—at any age
• How intentional texting fosters emotional intelligence parenting and deeper family communication
• Why parenting with empathy and vulnerability can support generational healing and transform the mother and son relationship
• How your own personal growth can shift your family dynamic, even if you weren’t a perfect parent

This episode is a reminder that every message is more than just words on a screen when it comes to connecting with teens or older children in today’s digital world. 

Cheers to a deeper connection with your loved ones,
Laurie

Ever feel like you’re drawn to the wrong people—repeatedly? That pull isn’t random. It’s often old patterns and unhealed wounds running the show, not true safety or connection.

If dating has left you feeling confused, overwhelmed, or ready to give up, you’re not imagining it—and you’re not alone.

In this episode, I sit down with Bernardo Mendez, relationship coach and creator of one of YouTube’s top dating advice channels, for a grounded look at what’s really happening beneath the surface—especially in dating in midlife. Using a neuroscience-based approach, Bern has helped hundreds of women move past subconscious patterns into healthier, more conscious connections.

We talk about how unhealed wounds and nervous system triggers shape your choices in love. Bern shares what he’s learned from guiding women through heartbreak, healing, and aligned relationships. If you’ve ever felt like you’re “too much,” “not enough,” or just tired of the same dating challenges, this one’s for you.

You’ll learn:

• Why nervous system regulation is key to attraction and lasting emotional connection
• The difference between chemistry, fireworks, and trauma bonds
• Why giving someone three dates can shift everything
• What grounded dating expectations really look like
• How to spot aligned relationship dynamics early
• Why curiosity builds more safety than checklist energy
• How to shift from surface traits to values that support personal growth

Dating doesn’t have to feel like a loop of disappointment. If you’re ready to show up differently—and choose differently—this episode offers insight, tools, and hope for what’s ahead.

Cheers to finding love,

Laurie

When a relationship ends, how do you really move through the grief—body, mind, and heart?

In this solo episode, I share my own recent breakup story and how I used somatic practices to walk through the grief process. Because here’s the thing: heartbreak isn’t just emotional—it’s physical too. Our bodies feel the loss, and somatic healing tools can help us soften, ground, and gently move through it.

As a somatic practitioner, I walk you through seven intentional steps that helped me stay present with my feelings and sensations using somatic healing practices and nervous system regulation, so I could process the loss with more awareness, compassion, and even a little ease.

In this conversation, you’ll learn:

• Why feeling your emotions in small, digestible doses makes heartbreak healing manageable.
• Simple ways to create a safe environment that soothes both body and mind during relationship healing.
• The choices that helped me build emotional resilience through somatic awareness
• How a steady routine helps regulate the nervous system.
• The value of working with a trusted somatic practitioner to ease rumination.
• How to protect your energy and set boundaries as you begin dating after a breakup.
• Finding the sweet spot between solitude and connection so you don’t spiral into isolation.
• The secure attachment signs to notice when forming new relationships.
• What it looks like to truly process grief so you can welcome healthier connections.
  
  
  

If you’re moving through the end of a relationship—or still carrying the echoes of one—this episode is your reminder: healing is not only possible, it can feel lighter and more embodied with the right tools and support.

Much love,

Laurie

Have you ever reached for a drink—not because you genuinely wanted it—but because you were trying to soothe stress, numb emotions, or simply make it through the day?

This week’s episode features Colleen Freeland Kachmann, an intuitive drinking coach and host of It’s Not About the Alcohol podcast. Colleen shares her powerful personal transformation and offers a radically different approach to navigating alcohol use disorder through emotional regulation, somatic healing, and self-awareness.

What makes Colleen’s work different? She doesn’t teach you to just quit drinking—she teaches you how to change your relationship with it.

In this eye-opening conversation, we explore:

• Why mindful drinking can be more sustainable than strict sobriety
• How nervous system regulation and somatic practices can reduce the urge to drink.
• The link between emotional triggers, stress, and drinking habits
• How alcohol impacts hormonal health, especially during menopause
• The role of cognitive reframing in transforming your mindset around alcohol.
• The importance of understanding the emotional and physiological factors behind your drinking habits. 
• Why emotional triggers and stress often lead to your drinking habits.
• What it means to practice emotional sobriety—and why it's more powerful than white-knuckling abstinence.
• Why focusing on emotional regulation and self-compassion can lead to more sustainable, positive changes that last.
• What the Mindful Drinking Experiment is and how it can help you heal without giving up alcohol entirely.
• How the “Delay, Don’t Deny” method supports more intentional choices.

If you’re feeling stuck in a cycle of drinking for relief or unsure how to create a healthier relationship with alcohol, this episode is your invitation to begin again—with compassion, curiosity, and clarity.

You don’t have to go all-or-nothing. And change is absolutely possible.

Much love,

Laurie

Do you want to make sure you’re not just alive… but truly living? My guest this week suggests, starting by contemplating your own death.

In this transformative episode, I’m joined by Karen Salmansohn, bestselling author and behavioral change expert known for blending humor, heart, and science to make life’s most meaningful lessons accessible. We dive into her latest book, Your To Die For Life, and explore how embracing mortality awareness can be the catalyst for deep, lasting transformation. Her gentle but powerful tools will help you shift from a near-life experience into an intentionally well-lived one. 

Karen shares a fresh perspective on how contemplating death isn’t morbid—it’s motivating. Through research-backed tools and creative exercises, she shows us how to shift from a “near-life experience” to a purpose-filled, fully engaged existence.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why writing your own personal eulogy might be the best place to begin
• How to reconnect to the present moment when life feels like it’s speeding past you.
• What Aristotle had to say about living a well-lived life (and why it still matters)
• The connection between your core values and creating a more meaningful life.
• Why mortality awareness isn’t morbid, it’s motivating. 
• What “death awareness” actually means—and how it helps you plan for your future
• How contemplative practices (like a marble mortality jar!) can shift you to intentional living.
• Why a legacy mindset shapes how you show up in the world
• The role of identity-based habits in living intentionally. 
  How mindset shifts, nervous system regulation, and somatic healing support a grounded, joyful life.

This is your invitation to pause and reflect—not with pressure, but with compassion. Whether you're navigating midlife or simply craving a deeper sense of purpose, this conversation offers practical wisdom for creating a more purpose-driven life.  

Much love,

Laurie

Have you ever felt as though the ground has suddenly dropped out from under you after someone you trusted deeply betrayed you?

Betrayal can manifest physically and emotionally, preventing you from achieving what you truly desire.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Debi Silber, PhD, the founder of The Post Betrayal Transformation Institute and an international bestselling author. She shares three key insights from her personal experiences with betrayal trauma, as well as her research findings.

Debi explains why betrayal trauma is uniquely different and requires a different healing approach. She also describes what relationship recovery entails and walks you through the five stages of healing from betrayal. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How trauma responses can create discomfort and physical issues in the body, manifesting as exhaustion, gut problems, chest tightness, disrupted sleep, and difficulty loving again.
• The three discoveries Debi made while researching betrayal trauma, and why it differs from other types of emotional trauma.
• The importance of nervous system regulation and somatic healing in overcoming betrayal trauma. 
• The five stages you need to navigate in order to heal from betrayal.
• Why stage three is often referred to as the "muddy middle" and is the most challenging phase to get through.
• The crucial role of emotional resilience in progressing through all five stages. 
• How trauma responses like people-pleasing, emotional eating, or emotional shutdown may indicate a need for further healing from your betrayal trauma.
• Why forgiveness is more about your personal journey than the actions of the other person.
• How setting emotional boundaries can help you move forward with clarity and self-trust. 
• The #1 indicator that will determine your ability to recover from your betrayal. 

If you’re still holding on to a past betrayal and are ready to rebuild your self-trust, this conversation is for you! Remember, you don’t have to go through this process alone.

Much love,

Laurie

Is your body changing in ways that feel unfamiliar or unexpected? 

Perhaps your midlife body has gained a few pounds without any changes to your eating habits. Or maybe you’ve always struggled with body image and are searching for ways to accept yourself with more ease.

This week, I’m joined by Elizabeth Dall, a certified women’s wellness coach who focuses on nutrition for women, behavior change, and body acceptance. Elizabeth brings a grounded and thoughtful approach to midlife wellness, shaped by both her expertise and personal experiences.

We explore how food freedom, self-compassion, and nervous system regulation work together to support lasting change. And what does it really mean to develop health habits that are sustainable through perimenopause, menopause, and beyond? 

This conversation isn’t about rigid plans or strict routines that often lead to disappointment. Instead, it’s about listening to your body, acknowledging your needs, and redefining what lifestyle changes can look like as you age. Aging gracefully doesn’t mean shrinking yourself; it means coming home to who you truly are.

You’ll learn:

• Why comparing yourself to others is the worst thing you can do. 
• What sustainable nutrition habits can look like during perimenopause and menopause.
• The importance of hormonal balance for midlife wellness, emotional health, and body image issues.
• How to stop chasing perfection so you can build supportive health habits.
• The role of strength training for women in preventing muscle loss as you age and how it can enhance body confidence.
• How functional movement supports energy, ease and can help you maintain a connection to your body in midlife and beyond.

Your body is changing, and it deserves support that meets you where you are and encourages you to move forward with compassion.

Much love,

Laurie
