In this episode, Victoria Johnson, PhD, PCC, speaks with author and grief coach Jenny Hall about the deeply personal and universal experience of grief, and what it can mean to find your way forward after devastating loss.

Jenny shares her journey following the sudden death of her spouse, Jim, and how that experience eventually led to the creation of her book, The Grief Beacon. Together, Victoria and Jenny explore how grief can affect every part of life, from identity and security to relationships, routines, and the way we see the future.

The conversation also looks at the importance of allowing grief rather than constantly distracting from it, finding safe people who will listen, practicing self-compassion, and recognizing that grief is not limited to death. The loss of a relationship, career, lifestyle, home, or sense of safety can all create very real grief.

Jenny shares some of the practical tools she uses in her work, including journaling, meditation, mirror work, letter writing, and release rituals, while emphasizing that every person’s grief experience is different and deserves to be acknowledged.

Her message is one of hope: healing does not mean forgetting, and even profound loss can eventually be carried in a way that allows life, meaning, and purpose to grow around it.

In this episode, Victoria Johnson speaks with Yvonne Oswald, PhD, about clearing negative emotions in minutes rather than spending years repeatedly talking about the past.

Yvonne is the author of several books, including her latest, No More Therapist: Your Brain Has the Answer, a seven-day rapid mind-rewire program. The book includes a section inspired by Louise Hay’s work, used with permission, that connects areas of the body with their possible emotional meanings and integrates those insights into a practical system for emotional and physical reset.

Victoria and Yvonne discuss how the brain and body store experiences like file folders, why revisiting every detail of the past is not always necessary, and how precise language can influence emotions, health, relationships, and success. They also explore quantum thinking, self-talk, and how to stop repeating familiar emotional patterns.

Originally from England and now living in the Dominican Republic, Yvonne is internationally recognized for her expertise in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and the power of language.

Her guiding message is: “Every word has power. Success starts with self-talk.”

In this thoughtful episode, Victoria Johnson speaks with George Stoimenov, who lives on the coast of England and works with vulnerable people within the justice system.

George explores men’s work, trauma, inner-child healing, and the specific challenges men often face in recovery and personal growth. He explains why lasting change requires more than changing behaviour. Healing begins by understanding the deeper experiences and unconscious patterns shaping our choices.

As Carl Jung wrote, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”

Victoria and George discuss the importance of creating safe spaces where men can speak honestly, reconnect with themselves, and address emotional pain without shame or judgement. George describes healing as rebuilding from the ground up through awareness, compassion, and more conscious choices.

Although it is not discussed directly in the episode, George also uses the work of Louise Hay in his personal life, creating a meaningful connection with the Heal Your Life® philosophy.

In this heartfelt episode, Victoria Johnson speaks with Shana Ng, a registered nurse, mental health professional, and certified and licensed Heal Your Life® Workshop Teacher and Coach, about healing generational trauma within Asian families.

Shana shares what it was like growing up in a strict household shaped by high expectations, unspoken rules, and pressure to be perfect. Although these expectations were often connected to love and a desire for success, they also left her feeling that approval, belonging, and worth had to be earned.

She explains how difficult it can be to speak honestly about family pain in cultures where mental health struggles and personal problems are often kept private. Feelings of guilt, shame, and disloyalty can make healing feel lonely, especially when other family members are not ready to acknowledge harmful patterns.

Shana describes learning to give herself the approval she once sought from others.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that worthiness does not come from perfection, achievement, or pleasing others. We are worthy of love, rest, happiness, and belonging exactly as we are.

In this episode, Victoria Johnson welcomes licensed life coach Parveen Deepak for a moving conversation about hope, healing, breast cancer recovery, grief, gratitude, and the life-changing power of Louise Hay’s teachings.

Parveen shares how reading You Can Heal Your Life more than 20 years ago introduced her to the affirmation “All is well,” a phrase that became an anchor through family loss, her sister’s breast cancer journey, and eventually her own diagnosis and recovery.

Together, Victoria and Parveen discuss how to choose hope without denying reality, how anger can be channelled into healing and learning, and why gratitude can help us find strength during times of change.

This conversation is for anyone navigating illness, grief, family change, or a season of uncertainty.

This is a "must-watch" episode! In this episode, Victoria sits down with Dr. David Clarke, MD, President of the Association for Treatment of Neuroplastic Symptoms, to explore a topic that is often misunderstood and frequently missed in traditional healthcare: neuroplastic symptoms.

These are very real physical symptoms, such as chronic pain, fatigue, migraines, dizziness, and other conditions that are not caused by structural disease, but by the brain’s response to stress and unresolved emotional experiences. Dr. Clarke explains that these symptoms affect approximately one in three adults, yet many people go years without a proper diagnosis or effective treatment.

Together, they unpack how past experiences, especially childhood adversity, along with personality patterns like perfectionism and people-pleasing, can contribute to the development of these symptoms. The conversation highlights how suppressed or unprocessed emotions can manifest physically, often leaving individuals feeling confused, dismissed, or stuck in cycles of ongoing health challenges.

Dr. Clarke shares compelling case examples of individuals who experienced significant and lasting relief once the emotional drivers behind their symptoms were identified and addressed. He also introduces practical approaches to healing, including increasing awareness of stressors, processing emotions, and simple techniques such as therapeutic writing to safely express what has been held in.

This episode offers both validation and direction for anyone who has struggled with symptoms that do not seem to have a clear medical explanation. It provides a grounded and hopeful perspective on the mind-body connection and reinforces that these symptoms are not imagined and, importantly, are treatable.

Key Takeaways:

• Neuroplastic symptoms are common and often misunderstood 
• Physical symptoms can be driven by stress and emotional patterns 
• Suppressed emotions do not disappear; they show up in the body 
• Awareness and emotional processing are central to healing 
• Recovery is possible, even after years of symptoms

Victoria Johnson speaks with Brownell Landrum, author of The Art and Science of Wishing, about how wishing bridges metaphysical wisdom and scientific research. Brownell explains her concept of “cosmic wishing,” the science behind how wishes engage mind, body, and behaviour, and her simple Three P’s framework: being peaceful, positive, and purposeful. Together they explore repetition, action, wish circles, and collective intention, along with how to engage even sceptics by blending evidence with curiosity and play.
