What happens when the life we built on the outside no longer reflects what our heart truly needs? In this powerful conversation, Desislava shares her transformative journey from feeling anxious, unfulfilled, and disconnected to discovering peace, gratitude, and her deeper purpose after a life-changing near-death experience. Desislava reveals how healing limiting beliefs, reconnecting with our inner child, and learning to trust our own inner wisdom can open the door to joy, authenticity, and a more meaningful life. Together, we explore meditation, the healing energy of nature, the subconscious beliefs that shape our choices, and the courage it takes to follow the voice of the soul. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that love is not something we have to search for outside ourselves. It is the healing force that has always been within us.

In this powerful episode, Amy sits down with Ani Anderson, mindset and motivation expert, bestselling author of Manifestation For Dummies, and CEO of the Somatic Coaching Academy.

Together, they explore a fresh perspective on manifestation, one rooted not in positive thinking alone, but in the wisdom of the body. Ani shares how sensation-based manifestation helps people move beyond mental strategies and reconnect with their nervous system, intuition, and innate capacity for healing.

The conversation covers somatic coaching, present-moment awareness, embodiment practices, self-reference, and the three levels of manifestation. Ani also explains why personal growth requires practice and patience, and how simple tools like movement, breathwork, self-massage, and body awareness can help us create meaningful change.

If you've ever felt disconnected from your intuition or frustrated by traditional manifestation approaches, this episode offers a compassionate and practical path back to yourself.

In this inspiring conversation, Amy sits down with educator, counselor, and integrative mental health practitioner Dr. Cristine Hull to explore a revolutionary approach to mental wellness and healing. Drawing from decades of experience as a substance abuse counselor, school psychologist, and wellness educator, Cristine shares her personal journey through childhood mental health challenges and the path that led her to develop the Frequency School Program, a seven-level framework designed to help people uncover hidden strengths, release energetic blockages, and raise their overall quality of life. Together, we discuss the powerful connection between emotions, energy, and physical health, and how modalities such as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), EMDR, hypnotherapy, and heart-centered practices can create profound shifts in emotional regulation and healing. Cristine introduces her innovative Zero Point Meridian Technique, a method designed to help people process difficult emotions while keeping the heart open and connected. The conversation also dives into the science of brain chemistry, exploring how neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, GABA, and endorphins influence mood, behavior, and addiction patterns. Dr. Cristine shares practical insights into nutritional neurochemistry, amino acid therapy, and the impact of MTHFR genetic mutations on mental and physical well-being. At the heart of this episode is a powerful reminder: true healing happens when we address the whole person: mind, body, heart, and spirit. Through heart coherence, self-awareness, and compassionate healing practices, we can reconnect with our innate capacity to become healthy, healed, and whole.

In this deeply human conversation, I sit down with Michele, author of The Stories We Almost Don’t Tell, to explore a journey rooted in resilience, reinvention, and radical honesty. From prosecutor to leadership coach and Chief People Officer, Michele shares how every chapter of her life has centered on helping others navigate hard moments and find their voice.

We touch on the powerful stories behind her book, both joyful and heartbreaking, and the strength that comes from vulnerability. Michele opens up about parenting, letting go of control, and embracing a new season of life as she approaches empty nesting.

Together, we explore how women can move through transitions with intention—owning their impact, asking for what they need, and releasing the idea that they have to earn their voice.

This episode is an invitation to reflect on your own story, the one you tell, and the one you almost don’t.
