Dear Liv

I’m joined by Briana Borten, a spiritual mentor who guides visionary leaders to become spiritually-rooted stewards of wealth. In our conversation, we cover how to differentiate your ego from your intuition, and chat about the importance of energy attunement in your spiritual journey. We explore generational trauma and different healing modalities, which I covered a little bit with Dr. Sarah Schewitz on last week’s episode. Briana also has a really helpful analogy for explaining how past life memories and regression work, and I share how that’s shown up in my life as well. 

 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

Tools and resources for discovering inner-peace and connection 

Accepting that life is beautiful in it’s complexity and nuances 

Why Briana chooses to work with visionaries who are interested in purpose work 

Leaning into co-creation and universal mystical properties, especially as an entrepreneur 

Getting comfortable with stillness and silence

Infidelity is often a black-and-white situation, especially in the social media discourse. I’m joined by Dr. Sarah Schewitz, a psychologist specializing in couples therapy, to talk about the gray area and what it’s like to rebuild trust in a relationship after betrayal.

Dr. Sarah breaks down the steps to get back to a place of vulnerability and intimacy, and shares her top strategies for dealing with resentment. We discuss the factors that tend to support a couple’s success after infidelity and advice for anyone who is supporting a loved one through a tumultuous time in their relationship. We also touch on generational trauma and ways to treat unhealthy attachment styles.

Victoria Washington, founder of the global money membership The House of WE™, joins me on this episode to talk about her whole-person approach to building wealth, redefining what financial freedom looks like, and how to figure out your wealth archetype.

She breaks down the role that filing for bankruptcy played in her wealth journey and describes when her relationship with money truly started. Victoria also highlights powerful transformations that she’s witnessed within her community that left me with goosebumps. She explains the difference between wealth embodiment and money affirmations and emphasizes the importance of affirming the action it's going to take to pursue your dreams.

Viupl Bhesania is a writer, seeker of truth, and host of Soul Wisdom Stories podcast. In our conversation, Vipul describes what guided his recent soul-searching journey and illustrates what he learned from listening in to the quiet. He highlights his experience healing in community and breaks down how he supported himself in answering the question that so many of us grapple with: Who am I? We also talk about how your definition of God tends to evolve as you do more self-inquiry work and Vipul shares his advice for anybody who’s at the beginning of their soul-searching expedition right now.

Dr. Kate Truitt is a clinical psychologist and neuroscientist with a mind-body approach to trauma-informed healing. In our conversation, we dig into different Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) techniques and how we can heal ourselves using logical modalities. Dr. Kate highlights tools for noticing the micro-data points that we might never have learned to pay attention to, but are critical for our mind and body to be successful in the world around us. We also touch on how to course-correct automatic coping mechanisms and start facilitating social-emotional conversations with children.

I’m joined by author, speaker, and producer Sheri Salata. She’s the former executive producer of The Oprah Winfrey Show and co-president of Oprah Winfrey Network and Harpo Productions. Since leaving TV production, Sheri has become what she calls a “transformation doula” and provides support for people who are stepping into a new chapter of their life.

Sheri opens up about what it was like to switch careers in her 50s, the importance of being your own teacher, and the power of the little practices done consistently with reverence. She shares the most valuable thing that she learned from her time with Oprah and the healing process that she went through when she wrote her memoir. Plus, she dives into the work she’s doing today, particularly the course and support group that she leads.

Women spend 85% of the world's wealth, but we’re constantly being told to make unsustainable cuts to our budgets. I’m joined by Lisa Chastain, a personal finance coach with over 20 years of experience, to talk about her mission of embedding the human element into money and bringing personal finances from conceptual to conversational.

We discuss why budgets don’t really work, the most helpful thing you can do to create more financial freedom, and tools for rewiring your relationship with spending. We also get into how to tackle your student loans and what Lisa thinks about web3 trends like cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.

I’m joined by Faith Ashenden, a nervous system coach, to talk about the foundations of neuroplasticity and brain training. Faith is the founder of The Health Transformation Accelerator, creator and trainer behind The Self Healing Sanctuary Membership, as well as the instructor of her signature Healing Chronic Illness: The Foundations Program.

Faith shares her top three simple techniques for getting started with brain training and highlights common challenges that she sees her clients face in this arena. We also touch on why having an optimistic and open mindset is crucial for truly healing.

I’m joined by Dr. Sarah Schewitz, Licensed Clinical Psychologist and founder of Couples Learn, a online therapy company that focuses specifically on couples therapy and attachment wounding. We talk about working through toxic behaviors in a relationship, understanding your attachment style, and her recommendations for couples who are considering starting therapy. Dr. Sarah highlights ways to address your blindspots and get curious about your own behavioral patterns both inside and outside of therapy. We also dig into signs that relationships will fail or succeed and the biggest mistakes that she sees couples make when they go to therapy.

Manifestation seems to be the buzzword of 2022, but what does it actually mean? I’m joined by Dev Connell, aka @thesocialmanifesto, to discuss the science behind manifestation, common misconceptions about the practice, and how to start calling in your dream life.

Dev is a business coach who combines manifestation, mindset shifts, and business strategy to help women start and scale their businesses. In our conversation, she describes how she got out of her soul-crushing 9-to-5 and manifested her current career. We also chat about our meditation journeys, the power of practicing daily gratitude, and tangible ways to design your life.
