What if one of the most important skills for living a meaningful life was never actually taught?
In this episode, I continue the conversation from Episode 10 and share the deeper vision behind Heal Your Part. This isn’t simply a podcast about healing. It’s a movement to change the way we think about being human.
For too long, healing has been relegated to therapy, crisis, self-help, or dismissed as “woo.” But what if healing is simply part of being alive?
I explore why understanding ourselves, our emotions, our nervous systems, our beliefs, and our patterns should be as fundamental as learning to read or taking care of our physical health. I also share why I believe healing belongs in everyday conversations, education, leadership, parenting, and community, and why this has become the work I know I am here to do.
If you’ve ever wondered why we weren’t given a better understanding of ourselves, this conversation is for you.
What You’ll LearnHealing is part of being human.
Every person experiences loss, fear, disappointment, change, and adaptation. Healing isn’t evidence that something is wrong with you. It’s part of caring for your humanity.
The better you understand yourself, the more freedom you create.
Understanding your emotions, beliefs, nervous system, patterns, and inner world creates greater self-leadership, confidence, and choice.
Healing belongs in everyday life.
It shouldn’t live only inside therapy offices or self-help books. Imagine a world where learning about ourselves was considered an essential life skill from childhood onward.

Final NoteHeal Your Part isn’t asking anyone to become someone new. It’s an invitation to become more aware, more compassionate, and more fully yourself.
Because when we heal our part, every relationship, every family, every workplace, and every community has the opportunity to change.
This one is unedited. No script, no scaffolding, no second version. I sat down on a powerful day and made a declaration out loud, because I know what happens when you say the true thing in public.
Heal Your Part is not my podcast. The podcast is one arm of it. Heal Your Part is a movement, and I was sent to bring it. I've spent years building other people's visions and keeping my own like secret babies, waiting for the right time, the partner, the seed money, the cleaner version. I'm done waiting. This is me claiming it.
I also name the second thing I'm building: The Real Wealth Room, a community for women ready to get serious about their inner wealth and their financial wealth, from the inside out.
If you've been holding a vision and waiting to be ready, this is your invitation too.

In this conversation, I sit down with Rachel Hulstein-Lowe, a licensed therapist, gender diversity expert, and parent coach whose work supports gender-diverse youth and the families learning how to walk alongside them.
Rachel brings both clinical depth and lived experience into this conversation. We explore what it means for a child to express who they are, and what that moment asks of a parent, not just intellectually, but emotionally.
We talk about gender identity in grounded, accessible language, the difference between understanding and acceptance, and the reality that every child’s journey is personal. Rachel shares how her work has evolved over the last decade, and how her own experience as a parent deepened her perspective in ways she couldn’t have anticipated.
This conversation is thoughtful, human, and at times deeply moving. It invites us to slow down, examine what we think we know, and consider what it really means to see and believe someone for who they say they are.
What You’ll LearnThree Core Insights
1. When authenticity is met, relationship deepens
For many parents, there can be an initial sense of loss, of the life or identity they thought they understood. But what Rachel speaks to is something more expansive. When a child is met in their truth, the relationship often becomes more honest, more intimate, and more real than before. Not a performed connection, but one rooted in who they actually are.
2. Self-awareness emerges when we are willing to question what’s given
What stood out to me is how deeply self-aware many of these kids are. Not because they were taught to be, but because they’ve had to reflect, question, and define themselves in ways most people never do. When you step outside of inherited norms, whether that’s about identity or anything else, you are invited into a deeper relationship with yourself. And from that, a different kind of clarity becomes available.
3. Identity is personal, and closer than we think
There is no single way to understand identity. Each person’s experience is their own. And as Rachel shares, many people believe they don’t know anyone who is gender diverse, but they likely do. What often sits underneath that belief is distance, not reality. When we allow ourselves to become more curious and less certain, what once felt unfamiliar becomes more human, and more connected to all of us.

In this conversation, I sit down with Odell Mitchell III, attorney, keynote speaker, and founder of Third In Line Consulting, a man whose life's work is helping people become better humans, in the workplace and beyond.
Odell brings a rare combination: a legal career in entertainment, deep roots in corporate learning and development, and an arts background that shapes the nuanced, human-centered way he moves through the world. He is also a single father of two daughters, and he'll tell you that parenthood has been one of his greatest laboratories for the very work he teaches.
We explore the Three Kindnesses framework he built - Safety, Empathy, and Diversity - and why pulling one lever doesn't automatically open the others. We talk about what it really means to know your values (not just the what, but the why), how self-awareness without depth only gets you so far, and what it looks like to lead people in a way that helps them stretch toward their potential rather than retreat into protection.
This conversation is rich, grounding, and full of the kind of nuance that reminds you why this work is both simple and profound. Odell doesn't make it complicated, he makes it human.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
THREE CORE INSIGHTS
1. Self-awareness has two layers. Knowing what you do is the first step. Understanding why you do it, what drives it, what wound or value sits beneath it, is where real change becomes possible.
2. Safety is not passive. Psychological and emotional safety is the foundation that allows people to take risks, learn, and grow. Without it, people retreat into whatever patterns make them feel protected. Creating it, for yourself and for others, is an active, intentional practice.
3. Diversity is a journey, not a destination. Organizations that treat diversity as a problem to be solved will always feel behind. Those that commit to it as a continuous practice, measuring progress by movement, not arrival, are the ones that build something lasting.

In this conversation, I sit down with Anahiz Correa, a first-generation Mexican American leader whose path in healthcare began at age five when her aunt in Mexico let her listen to a heartbeat through a stethoscope.
Anahiz grew from ICU bedside nurse to charge nurse to ICU manager, and today serves as Senior Director for Critical Care Services at Martin Luther King Jr. Community Hospital. We talk about what leading through the pandemic actually demanded, why “resilience” felt like a throwaway word, and how grit, vulnerability, and true psychological safety helped teams keep caring when everything hurt.
She also reflects on how cultural roots, self-awareness, and the courage to be vulnerable reshaped her leadership, and her life. This episode is an honest look at what sustains healers, and how leaders can hold both the human and the work.

In this short and powerful reflection, I share a teaching that continues to shape how I live and lead: we are always creating, promoting, or allowing everything that shows up in our lives.
I talk about how this idea came back to me at my church’s annual conference, and how it can completely shift the way we experience responsibility, not as a burden, but as liberation. When we recognize our role in what’s unfolding, we also reclaim our power to change it.
If you’ve been feeling reactive, stuck, or disconnected from your sense of agency, this episode is your invitation to pause, reflect, and remember, you are a co-creator of your lived experience.

This short solo episode came through on the heels of a powerful conversation with my mentor, Kirk Souder, and a spontaneous moment of reflection. I talk about the kinds of thoughts and beliefs we take for granted, those quiet, inherited “truths” we never stop to question. What if they’re outdated? What if they’re no longer serving who you’re becoming?
I invite you into a moment of inquiry: What are the beliefs you’re still holding that feel like fact, but are actually just old agreements? What if this moment in your life is happening for you, not to you?

In this conversation, I sit down with Kirk Souder—a creative industry veteran turned purpose-driven executive coach. Kirk’s path is a testament to what it means to truly walk the talk.
We talk about the moments that changed everything for him: facing a cancer diagnosis that forced him to confront the finiteness of his life, feeling real dread in a career that on paper was wildly successful, and discovering spiritual psychology as a “before and after” moment that redefined how he leads, works, and lives.
He shares candidly about the polarities of joy and duty, the experience of failure as life-giving, and the lessons learned from coaching leaders who shape some of the world’s most influential companies. This episode is an invitation to consider how our most challenging moments can deepen our leadership, our purpose, and our capacity to create meaningful impact.
What You’ll LearnKirk coaches high-impact leaders to find their greatest possibility in authentic leadership, purpose, and impact. He has been featured in Forbes, and he speaks globally on the power of mindset and inner purpose to harness the power of business. Kirk is a pioneer in purpose mindset workshop design, co-designing and facilitating the personal impact accelerator, Soul Purpose, and its custom iterations for brands like Mattel, Uber, and Google.
Kirk’s background is distinct from most executive coaches in his vast business-building experience prior to graduate-level education and training in leadership coaching. Prior to starting his coaching consultancy, Kirk was co-founder and lead coach of Enso, creating initiatives with visionary brands and coaching visionary leaders toward positive impact at scale. Kirk’s own business and entrepreneurial leadership span 30 years of successful enterprises, with roles as Founder, Chief Creative Officer, Partner, and President/CEO of large companies and vanguard creative shops recognized globally from Cannes to Hong Kong. He’s built award-winning creative cultures in New York, Washington DC, Los Angeles, and Shanghai, serving clients like Nike, Disney, Virgin, Uber, Visa, Google, Lyft, and The White House.
Kirk went to grad school in 2004 to earn a Master’s Degree in Spiritual Psychology and then added extensive professional training in coaching technologies like Three Principles, Soul-Centered Leadership, and Success Intelligence. Kirk is a certified graduate of the University of Santa Monica’s Soul-Centered Coaching Program.
This combination of real-world business experience and graduate-level coaching education creates an integrated skill set rare in today’s executive coaches and was designed for 21st-century enterprise. Kirk is a regular lecturer on leadership in business at USC’s Haas School of Business, UCLA’s Anderson School of Management, and the University of Adelaide in Australia. Kirk has spoken and led workshops on unlocking inner purpose and positive impact from Hong Kong to Copenhagen to Miami to Portland. He is on the Board of an anti-recidivism mindset organization called Freedom to Choose, and as a Burning Man participant since 1995, is currently contributing to a University of Adelaide research project on how Burning Man is influencing today’s most progressive business cultures. His own creative endeavors have earned Cannes Lions, the Sundance Official Selection, and Emmys. He lives with his wife and the love of his life, Patricia, and his sons, McKinley and Kevin, in Topanga, California. From whom he continues to learn every day.

Welcome to the Heal Your Part podcast where personal healing becomes a collective act.
In this heartfelt and vulnerable conversation, I sit down with Amanda Dykann, a yoga teacher and retreat leader who truly lives what she teaches. Amanda shares openly about her early sense of inner knowing, the path that took her from teaching yoga to facilitating luxury retreats around the world, and the profound personal evolution she’s experienced through motherhood, healing, and leaving a relationship that no longer served her well-being.
We talk about embodiment, emotional honesty, the energy we carry, and what it means to really trust the unfolding of life. If you’ve ever felt stuck between your desire for peace and the patterns you keep repeating, Amanda’s story is such a beautiful reminder that healing isn’t linear, and that our power often lies in softening rather than pushing.
What You’ll LearnAmanda Dykann is a yoga teacher, retreat facilitator, and spiritual guide with over 15 years of experience supporting others through movement, mindfulness, and soul-centered transformation. With a master’s degree in Spiritual Psychology and extensive training in multiple yoga styles from Bikram to Yin, Amanda brings both depth and lightness to her work.
She has led luxury yoga retreats around the world, designing deeply nourishing experiences that invite reflection, renewal, and self-discovery. Whether guiding students through breathwork, quiet integration, or vibrant group practices, Amanda holds space with grounded presence and intuitive grace.
Amanda now lives on the island of Maui with her young son, continuing to follow what feels most alive and helping others do the same. Her teaching is rooted in resonance, surrender, and trust in life’s unfolding.

Welcome to the Heal Your Part podcast where personal healing becomes a collective act.
In this episode, I define and demystify one of the most important tools for healing and transformation: inner work. I share how your personality and belief systems are formed often without your awareness and how to begin seeing the stories and patterns that are running you. I talk about the courage it takes to face ourselves honestly, the power of reflection, and how healing at the personal level can ripple outward to our relationships, leadership, and society at large.
If you've ever wondered where your reactions come from, why certain challenges keep repeating, or how to start feeling more peace and alignment from the inside out, this one’s for you.
