Last year, I received an unsolicited email from Alex Sanfillippo, the Founder of PodMatch. Now, Listener, I am naturally skeptical of unsolicited emails, but at the time I was co/hosting a different podcast and thought I’d check out this invitation to join a community for podcasters.

And boy did I need that!PodMatch also offers a matching service where guests can match to shows/hosts to share their message. Think dating service but for guests and hosts.

It’s amazing. AHHHH MAYYYYY ZINGGGGGI meet the most incredible people and have the honor of learning from them and then get to share it all with you!

And now here I am, sitting down with the man behind it all, Alex Sanfillippo, to learn about and from his journey with the power of the pivot for redirection when discovering your mission and purpose.

You don’t need to host a podcast to learn from and be inspired to follow your own dream…so have a listen to these words of wisdom!

TRIGGER WARNING: discussion about equity vs equality

Who knew I would receive a lesson on equity and equality in healthcare when I sat down to learn from Dr. Marissa Heisel!

And yet…here we are!

In this powerful discussion, we get real about how the public health and medical system often prioritizes profit over genuine care, creating perfect consumers from birth to death. We explore the deep connection between our mental health and the pervasive consumerism within the healthcare industry, emphasizing that the US healthcare system is designed to keep people reliant on medicine. This video highlights the importance of recognizing how hospitals and insurance companies contribute to this cycle, preventing individuals from achieving vibrant health. Stop living your life unconsciously!I love hearing all perspectives and hope you do too!

About MARISSA HEISEL

Dr. Marissa is a passionate advocate for women's and children's transformational health. For over 26 years, she's delved into the intricate tapestry of natural healing modalities, blending the wisdom of holistic chiropractic care with insights from her background in midwifery and child development.

Wow...flow sure can be a twisty turny ride!

Our speaker

Join me along with my guest, Stacey Kulongowski, as we reflect on Stacey's corporate job with Google, to breast cancer, to leaving her job to start her own coaching business, to breast cancer round 2, to writing and publishing her book, to...TUNE IN TO HEAR EVEN MORE!

If you ever needed motivation to reassess your life to make massive changes that make you joyful...this is it!

About STACEY KULONGOWSKI

Stacey Kulongowski knows what it means to rebuild yourself — more than once. A two-time cancer survivor, bestselling author, and the voice behind the Bring Your Big Energy Podcast, Stacey has turned some of life’s hardest intensity points into a mission: helping people rise with clarity, courage, and purpose.

Before becoming a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and the Founder & CEO of The BND Group, Stacey spent nearly 30 years in corporate America, including 13 years as a Director at Google and 15 years in advertising. But behind the impressive titles was a truth she could no longer ignore: she was burning out in a career that no longer aligned with her values.

A mental health leave from Google became the turning point — the moment she realized that success without well-being isn’t success at all. That wake-up call eventually led her to walk away from corporate America entirely and rebuild her life and work from a place of authenticity, intention, and energy.

Stacey brings that lived wisdom into her coaching, where she has guided hundreds of leaders — from emerging talent to C-suite executives — through reinvention, burnout recovery, confidence building, and the brave work of becoming who they were meant to be. Her approach blends strategic clarity with deep emotional intelligence, creating a space where transformation feels not just possible, but inevitable.

A graduate of Michigan State University and a certified coach through The Hudson Institute, Stacey now writes, speaks, and teaches about leadership, energy, and personal transformation. She also creates immersive learning experiences designed to help people get unstuck and step into the biggest version of themselves.

She lives in Michigan with her husband of 21 years, their three daughters, and one very loved mini goldendoodle.

Her mission is simple:

Be the catalyst that helps people regain their energy, rewrite their story, and achieve the goals they never believed were available to them.

If you’re on the Nagare Life mailing list, then you know we’ve been working on the SKILL of manifestation since November 2025.

Oh, did I capitalize SKILL? Yup! You’re damn right I did!

Manifestation is NOT wishful thinking. It’s not dreaming and hoping that a magical fairy comes and grants you a wish.

It’s a skill…louder for those in the backIT’S A SKILL

And today’s guest is here to teach the science behind manifestation! There are steps we can follow to create the life we’re dreaming of.

Grab a pen and paper; take copious notes; stop, rewind, and watch again; then get to work as we step into the best versions of ourselves (and lives) yet!!

Learn the truth about manifestation and how it can transform your life. Many people believe that manifesting is just about wishing for something, but it's actually just neuroscience...and we can all learn it! By understanding the principles of how our brains work, we can attract abundance, love, and even financial freedom into our lives.

Tina Levinson shares her insights on how to manifest money, abundance, and love, and even how to completely change your life...maybe even win the lottery! With the right mindset and techniques, you can find your flow and start manifesting your dreams into reality. Whether you're looking to improve your relationships, increase your wealth, or simply live a more fulfilling life, this video will show you that manifesting isn't just about wishing - it's about creating a life of purpose and abundance.

About TINA LEVINSON

Tina is a certified neuroscience coach who teaches manifestation through the lens of the brain and nervous system. Her work focuses on awareness, regulation, and repetition — helping people rewire subconscious patterns so real change actually sticks, empowering them to rewrite their story and step into the driver’s seat of their life.

My family and I were walking through the Black Forest in Germany one summer day and happened upon a natural spring plunge pool. It wasn’t very big, so maybe pool is the wrong word to describe it. It was about 6 feet wide and maybe 20 feet long and about 5 feet deep. There were steps that went down into seriously cold water and we were meant to swim/walk to the other side to exit on another set of stairs. Our daughter swam across, squealing and elated. Our son swam in silence and came out shivering. My husband walked across, completely invigorated.

And then it was my turn…I descended the stairs and the water hit just above my waist - around my sternum (solar plexus chakra!) and that’s when I felt a squeeze that shuddered through my entire body. When my chest squeezed, I felt my heart pounding and a panic awoke that made me cry out for help. My hand flew to my chest, I gasped for air. My husband pulled me out immediately.

I have no heart conditions. I have no circulatory conditions. So what in the hell was that?!?

I’m sitting down with Kris Rice to learn more about the sacred practice (and yes, I do mean sacred) of the cold plunge. I want to know everything, and I want to learn right alongside you!

In this conversation, Kris shares her journey into cold plunging, a practice she initially resisted but eventually embraced as a means of personal growth and self-care. The discussion highlights the challenges of overcoming judgment from others and the importance of trying new things for mental well-being.

About KRIS RICE

Kris Rice is the Founder & CEO of ChillPod, a luxury cold immersion system designed to elevate cold therapy into a ritual of renewal. While fully focused on advocating for her daughter’s mental wellness, she discovered cold plunging—and in just two minutes a day, everything changed. What started as a personal experiment turned into a mission to help others reset their nervous system, build resilience, and transform their energy through simple, science-backed practices that actually fit into real life.

“Don't call it a comeback, I been here for years”…thank you, LL Cool J

Whenever I hear the words, “midlife crisis” they are always followed up by that song singing in my head. I have no idea why. And the whole scene makes me giggle.

Midlife is filled with challenges…and they don’t need to be a crisis. We’re not making a comeback, we’ve been here for years…and we have so much knowledge and experience to help us navigate the rest of our lives!

You are going to LOVE Deb Foster just as much as me. I met Deb when I was a guest on her podcast, Gen X Juggler. The connection was IMMEDIATE. She is so incredibly kind, caring, and authentic! And boy isn’t that what we all need as we navigate our life journeys?

Deb speaks to all of us Gen Xers and if you’re close to my age, Listener, (eh hem…53 and proud of it!) then you’re probably going through some major life changes.

For me, we have 2 adult children. Our daughter is 25, launching into her career and we are here to support her. Our son is 22, entering into his last year of undergraduate and exploring the world to discover who he is and what he wants to create with his life.

Our parents are independent, but aging. Our bodies are changing. Our daily schedules are changing.

Hell, what isn’t changing?!?

Well, let’s get through this TOGETHER!

Join me as I marvel at Deb’s story of wake up calls, growth, challenges, and triumphs.

About DEB FOSTER

Deb Foster is the creator and host of the Gen X Juggler Podcast, a podcast that dives into the beautifully messy realities of midlife. In her mid-forties, Deb realized that life had not slowed down as her children grew up and began to leave the nest, the way she once imagined it would. Life actually became much more demanding–with aging parents to care for, one child still at home, becoming a grandparent, and the emotional rollercoaster of her older children leaving home to start their own adult lives. And, of course, making time to care for herself mentally, physically, and spiritually had taken a backseat to all of it.

After making some bold changes in her own life, Deb felt called to help others juggle the joys and challenges of midlife and rediscover who they are in this new chapter. Through honest conversations, humor, and heartfelt insight, Deb intends for the Gen X Juggler Podcast to create space for midlifers to feel seen, heard, and a little less alone…because midlife is better when we juggle it together!

There’s a new paradigm for soul aligned businesses and I am sitting down with Cassandra Rosa to talk all about it!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…I never considered myself a business owner. I never even imagined myself as an “entrepreneur”. I considered and still consider myself in the business of empowering others to heal their bodies, minds, souls, and spaces. I’m in the business of INSPIRING others to LIVE INTENTIONALLY.

I think I’m not alone in thinking that “business” is the practice of making money and I also think I’m not alone in thinking that those of us in the holistic space aren’t in it because we want to make money.

But here’s the thing…if you build an authentic business that speaks from your soul to ignite change in others…you’re going to make money!

So, let’s stop chasing money and instead, learn what it takes to build a business that truly begins with us!

About CASSANDRA ROSA

Cassandra Rosa is a certified coach & healer and intuitive business coach. Her mission is to help spiritual entrepreneurs go deep within on their journey to find clarity, conquer their fears and create impactful businesses. She loves to help her clients transform holistically on all levels; the mental, physical and spiritual as that is what helps them create long-lasting results.

I often reflect on how lucky I am to have the husband I have, the children we have raised, and the life we get to live.

SO FREAKING LUCKY

But what if…

What if I hadn’t been late to that class in 1993?

What if the only seat left hadn’t been right in front of who would turn out to be my husband?

What if I hadn’t been ready to leap into my future with faith and knowing that I had just met my divine match?

What if I had allowed the last boyfriend I had had before meeting Kevin to be my story of how men treat women?

What if…

I AM SO FREAKING LUCKY I didn’t succumb to my fears and leapt.

My guest, Lena Ehrenberg is the coach for you if you have ever found yourself jaded by love, let down in dating, or scared you’ll never find “the one”.

Take a leap with me…let’s learn more from Lena!

More on LENA EHRENBERG

Lena's evolution began in tears, sitting on the curb of a traffic circle somewhere in the South of France. She was meant to be on a weeklong hiking trip but couldn't even find the trailhead to begin. As cars raced around her, she realized she had a choice. She could keep crying, admit defeat, go home, and tell that story, or figure it out and let that be her story. She gave herself 10 seconds to decide.

It was the eve of her 40th birthday and the first time in her life she was aware that she had the power to choose how her story would turn out.

She joined a coaching program that taught her how to communicate better with men, and then a program which focused on relationships. She wanted all her relationships to be better, including the one she had with herself.

Lena started coaching clients in all areas of their lives, then earned her certification. Now she helps women who want to get married and have children figure out who to date.

If you know anything about me, it’s that I love learning new ways to grow. I love exploring who I am and how I can continuously expand into a higher expression of my best self.

So, when I was introduced to Jim Marshall and he told me about Septemics, I thought, hell yeah, I’d like to have a conversation about that!

A system to get to know who I am and how I function?

Based in mathematics and science?

Yeah…I geeked out 😂

So, please join us as Jim discusses his philosophical system called Septemics, which analyzes human behavior through a series of seven-level scales. He explains how understanding these scales can lead to personal growth, better relationships, and a deeper comprehension of societal patterns. He shares his journey of discovering Septemics, the predictive power it holds, and how it can be applied in everyday life to enhance communication and understanding among individuals.

If you’re like me and would like to explore becoming an even better human…let’s go! Have a listen!!

ABOUT Jim Marshall

Mr. Marshall has devoted over 50,000 hours to the study and practice of multiple dimensions of human potential and development. He received a classical education at a Jesuit Military Prep School, was accepted into engineering school while still a junior in prep school, and attended college on academic scholarship. He graduated college with a Bachelor of Science cum laude. While still an undergraduate, he began the study of “alternative” Arts and Sciences which today would be described as Transformational and Holistic. After 28 years of formal education, he had a long career as a Human Development Engineer. He has successfully treated and/or trained hundreds of clients, and is the inventor of Septemics and several consciousness-expanding systems. His areas of expertise include psychology, philosophy, theology, parapsychology, science, engineering, mathematics, law, literature, history, music, organization, metaphysics, military science, human potential, political science, physical culture and education.
