My love of life energy with Anna Scott

Some conversations don’t try to fix grief.

In this episode of My Love of Life Energy, I’m joined by Mer Monson to explore the spirit behind Elegies for the Wounded—and what it means to let language hold what hurts, without bypassing what’s true.

Some things we used to do naturally.

In this episode of My Love of Life Energy, I’m joined by Brownell Landrum, author of The Art and Science of Wishing, for a conversation about wishing—not as fantasy, but as a real human capacity that can be practiced, shared, and remembered.

We explore:

Why we may have lost our ability to wish collectively

How Brownell blends storytelling and science without turning it into “positive thinking”

Her “upstairs” metaphor—where wishes are sorted, held, and granted

The Cosmic Wish Experiment and what happens when people wish together

What becomes possible when we treat wishing as a living practice

There’s a kind of freedom that doesn’t come from fixing your life.

In this episode of My Love of Life Energy, I’m joined by Carrie Baum for a grounded conversation about sovereignty—what it means to live from what’s true for you, without carrying what isn’t yours.

We explore:

What “sovereignty” actually means in real life

The difference between your truth and other people’s projections

Why guilt often isn’t “yours”—it’s conditioning

How it feels when you stop negotiating with what isn’t true

The quiet relief of coming back to yourself

“Radical positivity” isn’t bypassing.

In this episode of My Love of Life Energy, I’m joined by Tania Barney, founder of Radical Positivity, for a grounded conversation about what this actually means in real life—especially when emotions are high and the world feels heavy.

We explore:

What “radical positivity” is (and what it is not)

How blame and judgment keep us stuck in separation

The freedom that shows up when we ask: what if no one’s to blame?

Why this isn’t “positive thinking”—it’s a different relationship with reality

How this becomes a lived practice, not a concept

Grief doesn’t always arrive all at once.

In this episode of My Love of Life Energy, I’m joined by Brad Byrum for a grounded conversation about the kind of grief that can feel invisible: the slow losses, the ongoing change, the love that stays… and the exhaustion of carrying it alone.

We explore:

Why grief can show up in fragments instead of one clear moment

The kind of loss that happens slowly—and how it affects the nervous system

What it means to feel “seen” inside grief

How compassion changes the way we carry what we’re living through

The quiet return of steadiness that can’t be forced

Some conversations don’t give you more information.

In this episode of My Love of Life Energy, I’m joined by Eric Smith for a gentle conversation about the “filters” that shape our experience… and the rare moments when those filters soften and we catch a glimpse of what’s underneath.

We explore:

What “unfiltered reality” can feel like

The filters that make things feel personal or heavy

Why these moments can’t be forced—only recognized

How compassion grows when we remember we’re in the same boat

What remains when thought settles

In this episode of My Love of Life Energy, I’m joined by Ann Prentiss for a grounded, nourishing conversation about what nature quietly teaches us when we slow down enough to notice.

We talk about native plants, backyard ecosystems, and the deeper truth beneath it all: life is interconnected, intelligent, and constantly responding. Ann shares how restoring even a small piece of land can become a doorway back to presence, belonging, and trust—because nature doesn’t argue with reality… it reveals it.

In this conversation, we explore:

How nature brings us back to what’s real

Why native plants matter (and what they restore beyond the garden)

The intelligence of ecosystems and interdependence

How paying attention changes the way we live

Small, practical ways to support life right where you are

In this episode of My Love of Life Energy, I sit down with Anne Scharlow for a grounded, spacious conversation about the power of seeing — not fixing — and how clarity naturally arises when we stop trying to change ourselves.

In this episode of My Love of Life Energy, I sit down with William FitzRoy for a grounded, honest exploration of what it means to live as yourself — without seeking permission, approval, or validation.

We talk about inner authority, self-trust, and the courage it takes to honor what you know inside, even when it means walking away from what looks good on the outside. William shares how deeply knowing your own energy shapes the way you move through work, relationships, and spiritual spaces — and why real growth always leads you back to yourself.

Together, we explore:

This conversation is an invitation to stop outsourcing your knowing, to trust what you sense inside, and to come home to yourself — again and again.

My Love of Life Energy is a gentle conversation with aliveness — where truth is felt, not forced, and life is something we learn to trust from the inside out.
