For decades, Stephanie James believed that if she just tried harder—achieved more, did more, was more—she would finally feel loved and enough.

Then, in a quiet room at a Sufi school, a spiritual teacher looked her in the eye and said the two words that changed everything…

Welcome back to the “Living in the Miracle Zone” podcast - where the everyday meets the miraculous…

In today’s episode, Stephanie, transformational coach and author of Your Big, Fat, Juicy Life, describes the power of these words as both the hardest thing for her to hear and the most liberating—because her whole life up to that point had been about striving to earn love and approval. Her story gave me chills!

Tune in and discover:

• The shocking childhood event that shattered Stephanie’s reality overnight—and how it became the seed of her transformation

• The exact words that her teacher spoke to her and what she did about them

• Why chasing approval—even from those we love most—keeps us stuck in unhappiness, and how to break the cycle

• A daily practice to catch “cobwebs” before they trap you in stress or fear

• A 3-breath practice you can do anywhere to release tension and reset into peace

• How surrender—not striving—is the gateway to real miracles (and why it’s the hardest thing for most people to do)

• The dream that revealed a profound truth: what if we chose our hardest challenges before we were born?

• Why grief, anger, and sadness are not obstacles to joy—but actually doorways to having more

“As you live as the greatest version of yourself, you illuminate the way for others to do the same. The unique light that is you was meant to shine bright in this world.” - Stephanie James

This is more than an interview—it’s a reminder that you don’t have to keep striving to be enough. You already are.

What if the discomfort, confusion, or burnout you’re feeling… isn’t random?

What if it’s your spirit trying to get your attention?

In this episode of Living in the Miracle Zone, Marci Shimoff sits down with Christine Lang, a former high-powered attorney who discovered that her body’s symptoms were actually messages—from her own spirit.

She listened. Her life changed. And now she helps others do the same.

This isn’t “woo” dressed up in buzzwords. Christine teaches how anyone—yep, even logical, skeptical, spreadsheet-brained types—can build a direct connection to their inner spirit and get real answers about health, relationships, money, purpose... all of it.

And spoiler: your spirit isn’t judging you. It’s trying to partner with you.

What We Get Into:

• What your “spirit” actually is (and what it’s not)

• How Christine went from lawyer to intuitive healer

• Why symptoms in your body are really signals

• A dead-simple exercise to hear your spirit today

• Why you keep repeating the same patterns (and how to break them)

• How to trust the guidance you receive

• The surprising way your spirit answers questions

• What Christine’s book Ask Your Spirit teaches—and how it empowers you to find answers without needing anyone else

Mic Drop Moments:

“Your spirit isn’t testing you—it’s collaborating with you.” “If something keeps breaking down in your life, it’s not bad luck. It’s feedback.” “This is like getting your spirit’s phone number.” “You’re not stuck. You’re just not listening to the right voice.”

Heal Emotional Trauma & Rewire Your Mind with Dr. Darren Weissman

If you've ever felt stuck in the same emotional cycles—anxiety, self-doubt, overwhelm—this episode is going to blow your mind. Marci sits down with Dr. Darren Weissman to break down how emotional trauma is wired into your subconscious, and more importantly, how to rewire it.

Dr. Weissman is a chiropractic holistic physician and the founder of The Lifeline Technique. He explains how physical pain, emotional triggers, and even inherited trauma are all part of a deeper pattern. And when you know how to read that pattern, you can shift it. This isn’t about managing symptoms—it’s about real transformation.

You’ll get a clear look at how you can train your mind like you’d train a dog (yes, really!) why belief rewiring beats “positive thinking,” and how to use intention, focus, and imagination as real medicine. If you’re ready to stop playing small and actually heal, this is where it all begins.

What We Cover:

• Why most people feel “not enough” and how that belief is driving your life

• How subconscious reactions create your health, your relationships, and your results

• What mind medicine is, and how to create it on demand

• The role of fear and why it’s not the enemy

• How to evolve emotional patterns instead of trying to erase them

• A simple tool to shift your emotional state instantly

• Real-world results from Dr. Weissman’s 10-week mastery program

Quotable Moments: - “We don’t perceive truth. We perceive what we believe.” - “Your problems aren’t here to break you. They’re portals into the next greatest version of yourself.” - “The mind in default becomes a tormentor. But when you use your mind as a tool, it becomes medicine.”
