What if your biggest detour was the doorway to a truer life? That’s the pulse of our conversation with Arlene Cohen Miller, who traded a steady legal career for a practice rooted in coaching, mentoring, and meditation. We unpack how a mother’s quest to support a neurodivergent child can become a mirror for her own nervous system, values, and boundaries—and how the tools that help our kids often end up healing us.

Arlene takes us from a scrappy storefront law office and new motherhood to building a community that replaced competition with generosity. She shares the messy middle: navigating two divorces, hearing “put him on meds” from every direction, trying nutrition and alternative care, and sitting with the guilt when expert plans went sideways. 

We get tactical about life at work. Arlene now helps executive women and founders negotiate from the heart, bringing confidence and calm into daily conversations where stakes feel high. Think love-based negotiation, practical boundaries, and the mantra “practice makes permanent” to strengthen new habits and neural pathways. By the end, you’ll have a blueprint: curate your tribe, let nature recalibrate you, visualize better responses, and return—gently and often—to the purpose you’re building.

If this story resonates, tap follow, share it with a friend who’s at a crossroads, and leave a quick review to help others find the show. Your words help us reach more people who are ready to trade pressure for presence and build a life that feels like them.
