Hustle For Happiness

What if your hardest moments were the very things that shaped your power? In this raw and energizing conversation, Courtney sits down with Lauren Fields to unpack what it means to lead with resilience. From surviving a traumatic brain injury at 14 to rewriting the narrative around self-worth, Lauren shares how belief, discipline, and discomfort became her greatest teachers. If you’ve ever been told “you can’t,” this episode is your reminder that you absolutely can.

Lauren Fields is the Founder and CEO of Fieldswell, a wellness leader, TEDx speaker, and podcast host driven by a deep passion for human potential. Her journey began after a traumatic brain injury, which reshaped her understanding of resilience, growth, and what it means to truly feel alive. With a background in hospitality, psychology, and wellness, Lauren helps others break out of autopilot, confront limiting beliefs, and design lives rooted in intention. Her mission is simple: guide others from surviving to thriving—because life’s too short to live disconnected.

Healing doesn’t just happen with time—and ignoring the pain won’t make it go away. In this powerful episode, Courtney and Dr. Colleen Lindstrom unpack what real healing requires. It requires connecting with your nervous system, inner child, and the energetic patterns that keep you stuck. Dr. Colleen shares how transformation begins when you stop identifying with your pain and start reclaiming your role as the creator of your life. It’s about taking full ownership, facing what’s no longer working, and choosing something new. Listen now and take the first step back to yourself.

Dr. Colleen Lindstrom began her healing journey in 1999 after discovering the power of chiropractic care and has since built a 20+ year practice rooted in physical, emotional, and energetic transformation. A Doctor of Chiropractic and certified Energy Medicine Practitioner, she combines chiropractic, craniosacral therapy, sacred anatomy, and spiritual psychology in a fully integrative healing approach. She's helped hundreds of families with everything from infant care to trauma recovery, and has been voted Best Chiropractor in Marin three years running. Dr. Lindstrom currently runs two California-based practices, is completing her Doctor of Divinity, and writing her book, 'Live Life Aligned.' Her mission is to help people self-heal by reclaiming their power, realigning their energy, and witnessing the miracles that follow.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––

In today's episode, we cover the following:

• Guided grounding meditation
• How trauma distorts our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health
• The power of craniosacral therapy, energy work, and chiropractic care (and how Dr. Colleen blends all 3)
• Introduction to Sacred Anatomy Energy Medicine
• Rewiring limiting beliefs and releasing stuck energy through body-based healing
• Boundaries vs. truth-telling—and why the difference matters
• How to break free from victim mentality and reclaim your identity as the creator
• How to find your own healing
• What depression and anxiety might really be telling you
• The soul-level reason you wake up in the middle of the night (hint: it’s not insomnia)
