What happens when you hold everything in?

In this solo episode, Blaine reflects on a personal story that reveals the hidden cost of “holding things in.” After her partner learns a close friend underwent major heart surgery without telling him, Blaine explores how suppressed emotions impact both relationships and health.

Drawing from Chinese Medicine, she looks at what starts to build when experiences go unexpressed, and how that can show up in the body over time. She also touches on how holding things in affects your energy and sense of connection, often long before you notice.

Through personal insight and practical wisdom, Blaine explains that opening up can restore energy flow, deepen connection, and support healing. If you’ve been carrying something silently, this episode offers a powerful reminder that healing begins when you bring it into the light. Now available wherever you get your podcasts!

In this Big Ideas episode, Lauren welcomes author and intuition teacher Hilary McCann Crowley for an expansive conversation about what intuition really is and how it relates to consciousness.

Hilary traces the word intuition back to its roots as an “inner tutor,” explaining that everyone has intuitive capacity, but each person experiences and relates to it differently. She also explores an important ethical principle in intuitive work: respecting another person’s inner authority rather than projecting fear, shame, or certainty onto them.

Along the way, she shares a memorable everyday example, reflects on ancestors, spirit, and the possibility of consciousness existing everywhere. Hilary offers a refreshing perspective on developing intuition which consists of not dissecting it, but instead, giving ourselves permission and unlearning what blocks it.

This episode is an invitation to reconsider intuition not as something mystical or exclusive, but as a natural part of being human that becomes clearer when we slow down, listen, and trust our inner guide. Now available wherever you get your podcasts!

After noticing “time blocking” highlighted in a popular time-management article, Lauren reflects on her ongoing struggle to protect open, unscheduled time. Blaine, who teaches time blocking to entrepreneurs inside the Conscious Business Builders Club, shares why she considers it a proven and surprisingly liberating method.

They have some fun discussing what time blocking really is: scheduling everything, including self-care, creative play, and even “free time” to reduce decision fatigue, close mental open loops, and increase focus and follow-through. Blaine explains how intentional structure can quiet the nervous system and support meaningful momentum.

But this isn’t a productivity pep talk. Lauren and Blaine explore the yin/yang dance between formless creativity and structured output. They dive into the tension between flow and discipline, the importance of protecting personal time, and how alone time fuels creative emergence. 

This episode offers a grounded, energetic lens on time, inviting you to experiment with flexible structure while honoring the sacred space where inspiration is born. Now available wherever you get your podcasts!

In this solo episode, Lauren shares the story behind the first “Field Trip” she hosted through WhatWouldLouDo.com. This is a special project born of grief over her beloved puppy, Lou. Inspired in part by The Telepathy Tapes podcast and her exploration of near-death experiences and post-death communication, she introduces “the Field.” She explains that the field is an interconnected energetic space where guidance and signs can be received when we’re quiet, grounded, and open.

Lauren explains how these community Field Trips help build a shared “morphic field” to strengthen intuitive awareness, often through symbols, sensations, and subtle signals rather than words. Now available wherever you get your podcasts!
