What if forgiveness isn’t about being kind, spiritual, or morally “good” — but about getting your life back?

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Ryann sits down with bestselling author, transformation mentor, and forgiveness expert Katharine Giovanni to explore forgiveness as a selfish, embodied, and energetically freeing practice. Together, they unpack why forgiveness is an inside job, how unresolved anger keeps us stuck in survival mode, and why forgiving the energy around people, places, and events can be just as important as forgiving the person themselves.

Katharine shares her step-by-step forgiveness process — a practical, compassionate method that goes far beyond “just let it go” — and explains how unhealed resentment lives in the body, impacts our nervous system, affects our relationship with money, and quietly blocks joy, clarity, and connection.

This episode is for anyone who’s tried to forgive before and felt stuck… for those carrying resentment from childhood, family dynamics, or past relationships… and for anyone ready to release the emotional charge that keeps replaying old stories in their mind and body.

Forgiveness, as you’ll hear, isn’t about excusing harm or reopening relationships. It’s about freedom. It’s about neutrality. It’s about finally letting go of what no longer deserves space in your head — or your heart.

What if the thing we’re most afraid of isn’t the fear of dying, but the quiet resistance to fully living? In this episode of Raising Wild Hearts, I sit down with Alan Lazaros to explore how to build integrity, what it really means to live from the inside out, and how defining success differently can change everything.

Alan is the CEO and host of Next Level University, a global top-100 show listened to in more than 180 countries. After surviving a near-fatal car accident at 26 — and losing his father to a car accident when he was just two years old — Alan was forced to confront a question many of us avoid: If this were the end, would I be proud of how I lived? That moment became the catalyst for a complete life rebuild — not just professionally, but internally.

In this honest and deeply human conversation, we talk about the difference between reputation and character, why success doesn’t actually make life easier, and how integrity is formed in the smallest, quietest moments — the ones no one sees or applauds. We explore why personal responsibility is essential for growth, how habits compound into identity over time, and why living fully often feels uncomfortable before it feels free.

This episode isn’t a quick fix—it will push your edges so you can grow into the best version of you. 

In this episode, we explore:

• Whether people are more afraid of, dying or truly living
• What it really means to build integrity in everyday life
• The three areas of your life you need to examine ASAP 
• Why success without self-worth eventually collapses
• How small, unseen choices shape who we become
• Why personal responsibility is the foundation of real growth
• How redefining success can create a life that feels aligned from the inside out

If you’ve ever felt successful on paper but disconnected in your heart…
If you’re questioning what you’re building — and why…
Or if you’re craving a deeper, truer way to live…This conversation is for you.

In today’s episode, Ryann takes you into the real heart of mindfulness — not the tidy, think-your-way-to-calm version — but the embodied, lived-in, messy human version. This episode is a grounding breath for anyone who feels stretched thin, rushed, overwhelmed, or stuck in their head.

This episode covers: 

• Mindfulness is helpful, but mental awareness alone won’t ground you — true presence requires somatic awareness too.
• Most overwhelm isn’t a mindset problem; it’s a nervous system one — especially for women conditioned to live in their minds.
• A yoga teaching reframed everything: it’s not about “ascending” spiritually, but descending fully into your body.
• Your childhood wiring (ages 0–7) influences today’s rushing, reacting, and difficulty staying present.
• A simple hand-on-heart + belly breath practice can expand your sense of time and help you drop back into your body in seconds.
• A reminder that healing isn’t about being perfect — it’s about being present.

In this powerful live conversation from the Rise & Flourish event, guest host Danielle Neufeld sits down with Brooke Musial, founder of Musical Breathwork, to explore how our bodies are instruments of intuition — and how sound, breath, and play can help us move through fear, find flow, and reconnect to joy.

She reminds us that something as simple as singing while doing the dishes can regulate the nervous system, boost mood, and bring us back to presence.

✨ Topics we cover:
-The body as an instrument of intuition
-How fear creates stagnation (in body and life)
