Have you ever wondered what sparks a person to turn their passion of helping others into a movement? Are you curious about what a giving circle is and how collaborative giving can make a larger impact on marginalized communities?

Well, wait no longer. Today’s episode might change the way you think about giving back to your community and there’s no better time to think about this topic than during the biggest giving season of the year!! 

Today, I sit down with Mindy Freedman, the inspirational founder of The SAM Initiative. Mindy was also recently named a 2023 Leader of Influence: Nonprofit & Philanthropy by the LA Business Journal. 

Mindy’s journey is not just inspiring; it's filled with invaluable lessons that could change the way you view philanthropy.

In our conversation, you'll discover:

• How Mindy’s small idea turned into the creation of a giving circle that has given over $3mil in grants over the last 12 years.
• How the work Mindy did in her 20s is now shaping a new way of giving.
• What trust based giving is.
• What impact investing is and how it could revolutionize our approach to helping others.
• What it means to give through a lens of social change and impact investing.
• An inside look at The SAM Initiative’s giving cycle.
• How a giver like Mindy can get gived out and what she does to balance being a philanthropist, mother, wife, and daughter and human being

And wait until the end when Mindy shares the one thing that really helps shift her mindset everyday!! 

You won’t want to miss this episode that’s not just a conversation, but a journey into the heart of what it means to give with impact and meaning.

Is there a part of you that is dreading this holiday season? Or do you already feel exhausted just thinking about all that needs to get done?

That used to be me, but I’ve shifted the way I approach the holidays and now find them more joyful, and do I dare I say…relaxing?

As we approach the shimmering lights of this holiday season, I want to offer a different approach for your upcoming holiday season. 

In this solo episode, I'll share:

• A gift that came out of a dark and lonely Thanksgiving after my divorce. (It has a happy ending.)
• Why trying to create the perfect holiday season doesn’t leave you fulfilled. 
• How shifting your focus toward how you'd like to feel can bring you more happiness. 
• A 10-minute exercise that can create a happier holiday season.

So pop in those earbuds and take a listen as I help you view your holidays from a different perspective and how shifting just ONE thing can change the way you approach every holiday season from here on out!

 You may never look at the holidays the same way again!!

Laurie

How do you move on after the most difficult loss one can experience?  How do you get up every day and move forward?  And how do you make meaning of what happened and find purpose again?  

None of us get to midlife without experiencing some type of loss, but today’s guest has some inspiring words for us all! 

Andrea Sonnenburg is a lawyer, mental health advocate, and mother with a powerful tale of resilience. After the tragic loss of her son, Bradley, Andrea found a path to healing and is now on a mission to help others who are touched by mental illness. 


She shares her journey, the early days of coping with the insurmountable grief, and how she slowly put the pieces of herself back together again.

You will learn about:

• What the early signs of mental illness look like.
• The ONE thing everyone who is struggling with anything needs to do.
• The two books that empowered Andrea's post-traumatic growth.
• How Andrea keeps Bradley in her heart through the advocacy work.
• The healing power of community and how alternative healing modalities helped. 
• Andrea’s love of literacy and how it helped her write educational children's books on anxiety and mental health issues. 
• 3 ways to manage the holidays after a loss.

And wait for Andrea's confession at the end!!

Her story is not just a narrative of loss but a beacon of hope for anyone seeking strength in the darkest of times. 

With warmth and courage,

Laurie

Did you know that between 1945 and 1973, four (4) million US mothers put their children up for adoption?

As an adoptee and in honor of National Adoption Month, I wanted to bring light to the false narrative around adoption. Adoption is more than just a legal process; it's a life-altering journey that can deeply, influence our sense of identity, the way we perceive belonging, and how we connect or don't connect with others.

These are issues I've struggled with and so have my two guests today, Sarah and Louise. Adoption is complex and there are ripple effects it has on adoptees, and their families, and can change lives directly and indirectly. 

In today's episode, I speak with Sarah Reinhardt and Louise Browne, hosts of “Adoption: The Making of Me” podcast. One of the top-rated podcasts on adoption!!

We dive deep and discuss:

• What is the Baby Scoop Era?
• Sarah and Louise’s intimate adoption stories and how it has affected them.  
• The effects adoption has on self-worth and feelings of guilt. 
• The trauma of being separated at birth from your birthmother and how it shows up in adult relationships.
• The challenges of being adopted and how it can increase your chances of having anxiety, addiction, mental health issues, or being incarcerated.
• Why adoptees need open and honest conversations. 
• How having the right support group or community can impact an adoptee.

Sarah and Louise also share their invaluable insights and reflections from their 4 seasons of “Adoption: The Making of Me” podcast. Including the importance of the industry and its multidimensional impact on our society.

Have you ever felt guilty for doing something that brings you pure happiness just because?  Or do you feel guilty because you feel like you should be doing something productive instead?

Permitting myself to do what I desire has been a personal challenge, but I know the benefits outweigh the consequences. There are many reasons why we don’t permit ourselves, but this is your opportunity to reexamine that, so you can begin to prioritize your happiness and connect to what feeds your soul. 

I’m sharing this episode because I had to learn the hard way and I don’t want you to experience what I did!!! In addition, with all that’s going on in the world YOU need to honor what you need now more than ever!!

Today I’ll talk about:

• The consequences I faced when I didn’t give myself permission and how you can learn from my mistakes. 
• The 3 main reasons why we don’t give ourselves permission to do the things we want or desire. 
• Examples of small and big permissions. This can include a variety of things and is very individual. 
• The 5 benefits of giving yourself a permission slip. Hint: Doing so can bring you more happiness and joy.
• Wait until the end for a 10-minute exercise that includes a body scan so you can tap into your wants and desires, and reveal any hidden barriers holding you back.

This is your permission slip to change your relationship with yourself so you can find more happiness and joy because it’s what we all need right now.

So give yourself permission to grab some tea, pop in those earbuds, and get cozy so you can tap into your wants and desires and learn how to do more of what lights you up and feeds your soul. 

I’m with you!

Have you ever caught yourself wondering why your mind and body are out of sync? Or do you let your thoughts control your decisions instead of tuning into your body and listening to what it’s communicating to you? 

Our society has taught us to think our way through life instead of tuning into our body's senses. My episode on “Your Body’s Wisdom and How You Can Improve Your Well-Being Today” is an introduction to this episode, so if you haven’t listened, you may want to start there. 

In today’s episode, we dive deeper into the body’s wisdom, aiming to untangle the mystery to help you develop a more harmonious relationship between your mind and body.

Today we are joined by Laurie Angress, a certified yoga therapist and also an iRest meditation mindfulness facilitator.

Laurie breaks things down into bite-sized pieces. She shows us the simple yet powerful ways yoga can deepen our mind-body connection, ideally leading us to feel a sense of balance and freedom within.

We’ll dig into:

• The 8 limbs of yoga and how they can help restore our natural state of being. 
• Why it’s important to listen to our bodies.
• How our thoughts impact our nervous system.
• Why it’s important to attune to your body and how to practice introspection.
• How to listen to our body's messages.
• What to do when we are feeling triggered.
• What does it mean to feel secure within our bodies and how to cultivate our inner sanctuary?
• 4 simple practices to become more mindful.

Pop in those earbuds and let’s explore the wisdom of your body so you can begin to feel more inner freedom.

Laurie

Do you find yourself in the challenging position of caring for aging parents or loved ones? Maybe you have siblings that do see eye to eye with how to manage all that needs to be done and you feel alone. 

The emotional rollercoaster and overwhelming responsibilities can take its toll on your well-being. 

I know because I’ve been there. I oversaw my parents care for 14 ½ years, raised my four girls, while my marriage crumbled in front of me. It wasn’t easy and I struggled through those years. That’s why I’m having this conversation with Tamara McClintock Greenberg, PsyD, MS and author of multiple books including, The Complex PTSD Coping Skills Workbook and When Someone You Love Has A Chronic Illness. 

In this episode, we discuss:

• The layered challenges of caregiving for our loved ones.
• Why you should seek emotional support and ask for help from family members or friends when caring for aging parents or those with a chronic illness.
• 5 ways to ease your load if you are part of the generation that wasn’t raised to ask for help.
• Why sleep and exercise are more important when you are the caregiver. 
• How to find more balance while caregiving.
• The importance of planning for the future, both yours and your loved ones.
• The complexities of sibling relationships while caregiving and why this isn’t the time to ask for what you didn’t receive emotionally when you were a child.
• Why clear communication and boundaries are more important than ever.

If you’re taking care of loved ones right now, please stick around because this awesome episode is for you!

Have you ever paused to listen to the wisdom of your body? If not, you should because it’s sending you messages constantly.

I have to confess, I haven’t always been attuned to the wisdom of my body and I had to learn the hard way. I was stressed and I knew it, but I didn’t know how to back out of all my commitments, but my body did. It shut down and I ended up in the hospital, not once, but twice. 

That’s why I’m sharing today’s episode…so you can begin to listen to your body or deepen your existing relationship with it. 

If you think this is woo-woo, stay with me because this is science-backed. Neurologists and therapists are also chiming in with research on the wisdom of our bodies.

It's a different way of thinking about self-care and healing. It’s also a dialect we often overlook until we pay the price emotionally, physically, or both.

What you’ll learn today:

• My personal story of not listening to my body, the price I paid, and what I changed in my life.
• Why you should listen to the wisdom of your body.
• Who is Martha Beck? And why she created “The Body Compass.”
• How yoga was the gateway for me to get in touch with my body and how research shows it can help with regulating the nervous system and developing more self-awareness.
• My introduction to somatic-based therapies and how they helped me fully recover from my freaky illness, regulate my nervous system, and heal my past trauma. 
• How I decided to become a somatic healer. 

So pop in those earbuds and get comfortable, so you can learn how the body's wisdom can become your guide toward a more balanced, healthy, and happy life from the inside out! You deserve this!

And take a listen to the added exercises so you can get more in touch with your body's wisdom too!
