Intentional living is not a destination. It is a daily practice of noticing, naming, and tending to what matters most. In this second and final segment of the Reignite Resilience Podcast's conversation with life and business coach Tona Restine, cohosts Natalie Davis and Pamela Cass go deep into the practical, personal, and philosophical framework that has defined Tona's work at Life Imagined for a decade and shaped the lives of every client she has had the privilege to walk alongside. 

This segment picks up with Natalie drawing the throughline between her own coaching journey and Tona's, naming the parallel paths they have run and the shared inflection points that propelled them both into laser focus on what they wanted to create. From there, Tona opens up the full picture of how she works with clients today, who she works with, and what the threshold space, the liminal moment between who you were and who you are becoming, actually looks like from the inside of a coaching relationship. 

Tona and her husband Kevin do an annual September Threshold retreat together, a practice now entering its twentieth year in some form and its second year as a formal Life Imagined offering on September 11th and 18th. She shares what the threshold framework looks like in practice, why September as a season carries a particular kind of readiness for reinvention, and why she believes change that finds you requires just as much intentionality as change you go looking for. 

The conversation then moves into one of the richest threads of the entire episode: Tona's deeply personal morning routine. She shares the four elements she returns to every single morning, the book that changed how she thinks about the first hour of the day, and the coaching client who helped her realize that for some people, midnight is their morning and that is exactly where their sacred space lives. 

In This Episode: 

• Who Tona works with and why she is drawn to clients in liminal spaces, threshold moments, and the messy middle of major transition 
• The annual September Threshold and what Kevin's coaching program "Navigating the Delta" teaches about change that finds you before you find it 
• Why coaching is ultimately about being a friend to someone who needs a friend and asking the questions that lead them to answers they already carry 
• Tona's four-part morning routine and the book that reshaped how she thinks about the first hour of every day 
• The final piece of advice Tona leaves with every listener: get quiet enough to imagine the life you want, then move heaven and earth to create it 

Tona is a featured speaker at Reignite Live 2027 on January 22nd in Loveland, Colorado. Her September Threshold is September 11th and 18th, 11AM Central, virtual and open to all.

Life after a cancer diagnosis does not have to be defined by the diagnosis. For Tona Restine, founder of Life Imagined, a lymphoma diagnosis in 2016 arrived at the worst possible moment and unlocked everything she was meant to do next. In this first segment of the Reignite Resilience Podcast's conversation with life and business coach, speaker, and writer Tona Restine, cohosts Natalie Davis and Pamela Cass sit down with one of their dearest friends and most admired colleagues for a conversation that is equal parts origin story, resilience masterclass, and love letter to the seasons of life that break you open. 

Tona spent more than two decades building a successful real estate career, leading a brokerage, and developing the leadership and people skills that would eventually become the backbone of her coaching practice. By the time she and her husband Kevin sold their brokerage and made plans to move to Texas, she was standing at the front door of a full professional reinvention. Three days after the sale closed, she walked into what she thought was a routine consultation with a plastic surgeon about a small bump on her cheek. She walked out with a lymphoma diagnosis. 

Her car was already in Texas. She knew almost no one. Treatment was starting. And in the quiet of a new state, a new season, and a body that required her full attention, Tona found the Thoreau quote that became the name of her company, hired her first coach, and began imagining a life she had not yet pictured for herself. What emerged was Life Imagined, now celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2026, and a body of work that has helped hundreds of clients navigate their own liminal seasons with clarity, courage, and deep intentionality. 

This segment also features the story of how Tona and Natalie first met: speaking at the same event in Denver in fall 2016, with Natalie's talk titled "Balance Is Bullshit" appearing on the agenda directly after Tona's talk titled "Bumps, Bridges, and Balance." The panic was real. The grace that followed was even more so. 

In This Episode: 

• The three simultaneous life events that hit Tona in 2016: selling her brokerage, moving to Texas, and a lymphoma diagnosis 
• How a six or seven-day encounter with a Thoreau quote planted the seed for Life Imagined as a company name and a personal mission 
• What getting quiet in a new state with no community and a body that needed to heal taught Tona about listening for what comes next 
• The ER Coaching program Tona created with her ER nurse daughter, built around emotional resilience through the lens of an emergency room 
• The laugh-out-loud story of how Tona and Natalie first met in Denver in fall 2016 and what connects them to this day 

Tona is a featured speaker at Reignite Live 2027 on January 22nd in Loveland, Colorado. She is also hosting her annual September Threshold on September 11th and 18th, focused on life and business and open to all.

Redefining success is not a concept Sean Clarke learned from a book. He learned it from a cardiac psychologist he did not know existed, a fruit basket confrontation from his number two, and a funeral procession in a cemetery where he noticed there was no U-Haul trailer behind the hearse. In this second and final segment of the Reignite Resilience Podcast's conversation with retired military leader and professional speaker Sean Clarke, cohosts Natalie Davis and Pamela Cass take Sean through the full arc of his transformation from a man whose identity was fused to his corporate title to a man who now stands on stages helping others make the move they have been postponing. 

This segment opens with Sean working through trauma and survivor's guilt alongside a cardiac psychologist, an unapologetically frank and earthy Gen X therapist who helped Sean process watching a young man die in the bed beside him and grappling with the question of why he was still alive when 20 percent of men in his age bracket are not. From there, Natalie draws Sean into the core of his professional mission: redefining success. Sean turns the conversation on its head with a single question he now uses with every corporate professional who claims to define their own success. What happened in your last performance review? And just like that, the argument falls apart. 

The segment closes with Sean's framework for what it actually takes to make the move, his conviction that community is the most underutilized resilience tool available, the Lauren Green stick bundle story that became a philosophy he carries everywhere, and a final word that is among the most honest and clear-eyed calls to action this podcast has ever featured. You cannot steer a parked car. And there are no do-overs. 

In This Episode: 

• What working with a cardiac psychologist actually looked like and how Sean processed trauma and survivor's guilt in a way that fit who he is as a Gen X man 
• The corporate success myth Sean dismantles with one question: what happened in your last performance review? 
• How Sean's fourth career as a professional speaker was born and who he is now showing up to serve 
• The Lauren Green stick bundle philosophy on community and why we are strongest together and most breakable alone 
• Sean's final challenge to every listener: stop, sit in the quiet, ask whether this is really what you are here for, and then make a plan and move 

Whether you are grinding in a job that stopped lighting your fire years ago or you are still waiting for the right moment to make the move, this segment is your permission to stop waiting.

Heart attack survival is not just a medical story. For Sean Clarke, it was the beginning of an entirely new life. In this first segment of the Reignite Resilience Podcast's conversation with retired military and corporate leader, professional speaker, and purpose mentor Sean Clarke, cohosts Natalie Davis and Pamela Cass take Sean back to January 2024, when a two-in-the-morning wake-up call sent him to a Canadian emergency room with symptoms he had been ignoring for five days. What followed was 33 hours in a hospital, two additional heart attacks in the emergency room, a young man dying of a fentanyl overdose in the bed beside him, and a doctor who told Sean he had a couple of hours left to live. 

Sean Clarke spent 30 years building a career that moved from military data systems to corporate IT leadership, project delivery, and program management. He was on track to become a CIO. He had a great team. He was delivering results. And then, at 2 a.m. on a Monday morning, everything stopped. 

This segment goes deep into the Gen X programming that had Sean back at his desk by Monday morning after leaving the hospital on Thursday, and the moment his own team showed up at his door with a fruit basket and an ultimatum. It explores what happens to identity when your entire sense of worth is wrapped up in a job title, what cardiac rehabilitation actually looks like from the inside, and the three weeks after the heart attack when Sean sat staring at his inbox and asked, for the first time with full weight: is this really what I am here for? 

The answer to that question is what changed everything. 

In This Episode: 

• The five days of symptoms Sean ignored before a 2 a.m. wake-up call sent him to the emergency room 
• What it is actually like to have two heart attacks in a Canadian emergency room while waiting 10 hours to see a doctor 
• The Gen X and military programming that had Sean back at his desk four days after leaving the hospital 
• Why his number two showed up at his door with a fruit basket and told him in no uncertain terms to stay home 
• The moment three weeks later when Sean stared at his inbox and finally asked: is this what I am here for? 

This is a conversation about survival, identity, programming, and what it takes to stop waiting for a crisis to give yourself permission to live differently.

Relationship architecture, the conscious, intentional design of love that lasts, is not a concept most people are taught. It is something Geoff Laughton has spent 33 years helping people build from the ground up. In this third and final segment of Reignite Resilience's conversation with internationally bestselling author, relationship coach, and men's work leader Geoff Laughton, cohosts Natalie Davis and Pamela Cass follow Geoff through the final chapters of his origin story, into the full picture of the work he does today, and the spiritual backbone that has held all of it together. 

This segment opens with Geoff's first paying coaching client, who found him through her psychic. It moves through 16 years and 350 inner child workshops, a pivotal moment with his mentor Shakti that confirmed it was time to let that chapter end, and the unexpected four-day couples intensive that launched his relationship coaching practice when a husband overpaid him and told him to shut up and take the money. From there, Natalie and Pamela draw out one of the most powerful and rarely discussed threads of the episode, the spiritual awakening Geoff had in the Redwoods, when a charge of electricity moved through his body at a window and he knew, without question, he had found God. And then a trance channel in Los Angeles told him three things about his life that nobody else on earth knew. 

Geoff closes the conversation with the practical tools at the center of his relationship work: how to stop blaming your partner when things get hard, how to take 100 percent responsibility for how you are showing up, and why anything you think your partner is feeling that has not come out of their own lips is something you are making up. These are not soft relationship tips. They are the tools that have kept Geoff and Sarah together for 44 years and that he now brings to every couple and individual he works with. 

In This Episode: 

• How Geoff's first paying client came to him via her psychic and why he took it as a sign 
• The moment his mentor Shakti told Geoff he was not supposed to be running inner child workshops anymore and how his whole body confirmed it 
• The four-day couples intensive that launched Geoff's relationship coaching career and a husband who overpaid him and told him to shut up 
• Geoff's spiritual awakening in the Redwoods: The charge of electricity, the window, and the moment he stopped fighting God 
• The trance channel in Los Angeles who told Geoff three things about his life that nobody knew and what that unlocked in him 
• Who Geoff works with now: couples, individuals, empty nesters, men in transition, and anyone ready to consciously design what love looks like 
• The Jack Canfield-sourced relationship tool Geoff uses with every client: take 100 percent responsibility before you say a single word 

This is the segment for anyone who is ready to stop waiting for love to get easier and start building it with intention.

Relationship resilience is not built in the easy seasons, it is forged in the moments where everything is falling apart and you choose each other anyway. In this second segment of Reignite Resilience's conversation with internationally bestselling author and relationship coach Geoff Laughton, cohosts Natalie Davis and Pamela Cass go deep into the chapter of Geoff's life that transformed him from a burned-out corporate executive into the coach, speaker, and men's work leader he is today.

This segment picks up right where the love story with Sarah gets tested. After a brief breakup driven by parental pressure, his mother had a lot to say about Sarah's age and her divorce history. Geoff licks his wounds, sends a card, makes a dinner he had no business cooking, opens the door, and forty-four years begin. But the path from that dinner table to becoming a relationship architect was anything but linear. An early commitment to not having more children gets upended at 39 when Sarah becomes unexpectedly pregnant. A back injury at 34 forces Geoff out of his workaholic patterns. Anxiety attacks, a bedridden month, and finally a three-day transformational workshop called Emptying Into Intimacy crack him open. Beginning with a blindfolded rock climb and culminating in a moment on a 175-foot cliff that would become the story he uses in his coaching to this day.

This segment is about what it really looks like to face your edge, the place where your story about yourself runs out and something truer is waiting on the other side. Geoff spent four and a half hours lying on the ground, trembling, while everyone else in the workshop repelled down the cliff. He never made it down that day. And it became one of the most important experiences of his life.

Natalie and Pamela draw the throughline between Geoff's personal story and the work he now does helping couples, individuals, and men find their own version of that edge and choose to keep going.

In This Episode:

The unexpected pregnancy at 39 that changed the plan and what Geoff and Sarah chose to do with it

What a blindfolded rock climb taught Geoff about getting out of his head and trusting his body

The 175-foot cliff, the fetal position, and the four-and-a-half hours that became a coaching cornerstone

How a week-long leadership retreat in Durango, Colorado finally unlocked Geoff's calling as a coach

Why Sarah told Geoff she was proud of his coaching work and then asked him to start charging for it

The inner child workshop that woke Geoff up the next morning with a crystal-clear sense of purpose

Why asking for help is not a sign of weakness, it is actually a sign of resilience

This is the segment for anyone who has ever been lying on the metaphorical ground, trembling, while it feels like everyone else is moving forward without them. Your edge is not a failure. It is your starting point.

Conscious relationships are built, not found, and Geoff Laughton has spent 33 years proving it. In this first segment of the Reignite Resilience Podcast's conversation with internationally bestselling author and relationship coach Geoff Laughton, cohosts Natalie Davis and Pamela Cass sit down with the man behind Instant Insights on Building a Conflict-Proof Relationship and Built to Last to hear the origin story behind one of the most compelling love stories you will ever encounter on a podcast. 

Before Geoff became the wildly respected relationship and men's work coach he is today, he was a painfully shy young man from the Bay Area with a psychology degree, a 15-year corporate career that took him from technical writer to Chief Operations Officer, and a pattern of attracting the wrong people for all the wrong reasons. By the time he was near 300 pounds, bedridden with a back injury at 34, and hit with a panic attack in the middle of a board of directors meeting, he knew something had to change, and it was more than just his weight. 

This segment traces Geoff's journey from the moment he recognized himself as the common denominator in a string of devastating relationships, through a three-year sabbatical where he rebuilt his relationship with himself, and into the serendipitous, fumbling, hot-chocolate-spilling beginning of his 44-year marriage to Sarah. Their love story did not begin with perfect circumstances. Their parents disapproved. The age gap raised eyebrows. The spiked punch, the birthday party, the broken-up-with-girlfriend, none of it was smooth. What it was, was real. And Geoff knew it the moment Sarah went out of her way to make him feel okay after he covered her in hot chocolate on their first date. 

This episode is for anyone who has ever been the nice guy or the people-pleaser in relationships, anyone who has ever recognized a pattern and wondered how to break it, and anyone who wants to understand what it actually takes to build love that lasts. 

In This Episode: 

• How 15 years in corporate, rising from technical writer to COO, left Geoff bedridden, anxious, and finally ready to change 
• The pattern Geoff kept repeating in relationships and the three-year solo sabbatical that helped him break it 
• What therapy, group work, and learning to be alone taught him about finding his mojo before finding his person 
• The serendipitous, deeply unglamorous story of how Geoff and Sarah found each other, and almost didn't 
• Why the moment Sarah made him feel okay after spilling hot chocolate on her was the moment Geoff knew she was the one 

Whether you are doing the work on yourself or looking for the framework to build something that lasts, this conversation is the place to start.

Joey's Song raises money for epilepsy research through a concert unlike any other in the country, and Part 2 of this Reignite Resilience conversation is where hosts Natalie Davis and Pamela Cass get the full picture of how it works. Mike, founder of Joey's Song, continues his conversation with Natalie and Pam by walking through Freezing Man, the two night concert event held every January in Madison, Wisconsin.

Mike describes what makes the show different from a typical tribute concert. Musicians from bands like Cheap Trick, the Goo Goo Dolls, the Bangles, and Tears for Fears do not perform separate sets. Instead they form one time only groups and play together, backed by the house band the Know It All Boyfriends, alongside a rival group called the Know It All Girlfriends who show up every year to steal the show. Mike explains why the event only happens once a year, why January works best around touring schedules, and how the 2,500 seat Sylvie theater sells out two nights running while the concert also live streams for free to anyone, anywhere.

From there the conversation shifts to impact. Mike breaks down how listeners can support Joey's Song without spending money, starting with following the nonprofit's social accounts and watching video content long enough to trigger the platform algorithm. He shares the scale of epilepsy in plain numbers: one in 26 people will develop it in their lifetime, and 50 million people live with it worldwide today. Mike also talks honestly about where epilepsy research stands, including the one in three people who still cannot find relief through medication or surgery, and closes with practical advice for recognizing absence seizures and prioritizing self care as a caregiver.

In This Episode:

• What makes the Freezing Man concert format different from a typical tribute show
• Why Joey's Song only holds one event per year, in January
• How to support the nonprofit without spending any money
• The real numbers behind how common epilepsy actually is
• Where epilepsy research and treatment stand today, and where progress is still needed

Listen to Part 1 of this conversation for the full story behind Joey's Song and the son who inspired it.

Joey's Song exists because one Wisconsin family turned the loss of their son into an ongoing mission to fund epilepsy research. In Part 1 of this Reignite Resilience conversation, hosts Natalie Davis and Pamela Cass sit down with Mike, founder of Joey's Song, a nonprofit built in honor of his son Joe, who lived with Dravet syndrome, a severe and treatment resistant form of childhood epilepsy.

Mike walks through Joe's story from the beginning. Joe was adopted from Guatemala and had his first seizure at three months old, sitting on his grandfather's lap. What followed was four years of misdiagnosis before doctors identified Dravet syndrome, a chromosomal condition that left Joe nonverbal and in need of round the clock care. Joe passed away just before his fifth birthday in 2010. Despite everything he went through, Joe loved to sing and dance, especially to Elmo's song, and that joy became the reason the nonprofit carries his name.

Mike explains why he chose a goal over a rigid plan when he started Joey's Song, and how a chance reconnection with college friend and Grammy winning producer Butch Vig turned a small local concert into something neither of them expected. He tells the story of the night a newspaper interview accidentally created demand for a show that had no lineup yet, and how that pressure led to the format Joey's Song still uses: musicians from bands like Cheap Trick, Garbage, and the Bangles forming one time only supergroups on stage together.

The second half of the conversation turns to family. Mike and his wife Nori raised their two other children, Julia and Sam, through the loss of their brother, and Mike speaks candidly about how couples who lose a child face some of the highest rates of separation, and what kept his marriage steady through it. He also shares how Julia and Sam are involved in Joey's Song today, and how the volunteer team behind the event grew out of matching friends to the tasks they were already good at.

In This Episode:

• How Joe's story led to the founding of Joey's Song
• Why Dravet syndrome is a chromosomal form of epilepsy with no cure
• The unplanned story behind the celebrity supergroup concert
• How Mike and his wife supported their surviving children through grief
• Why Joey's Song runs entirely on volunteers and unpaid artists

Part 2 of this conversation covers the Freezing Man concert itself, along with the scale of epilepsy worldwide and simple ways listeners can help.

Responding instead of reacting gets tested hardest when the stakes are highest, and that is exactly what happened to Reignite Resilience hosts Natalie Davis and Pamela Cass. In Part 2 of this two part coffee talk episode, Natalie and Pam close out their Spain and Morocco travel stories, then walk through the moment their own Reignite Live success summit got hacked mid session, live, in front of a room full of attendees.

The episode opens with the finish of the paella story from Part 1: eating seafood out of to go containers while sprinting to board a ferry to Morocco, followed by a second sprint back through a storm to catch the return boat. Natalie and Pam use both stories to make the same point they made in Part 1: the memories worth keeping are usually the ones that went wrong first.

The real center of this episode is what happened on day one of their recent success summit. Mid conversation with a sponsor about nervous system regulation, a hacker broke into the event's Zoom meeting and put explicit content on screen in front of the entire room. Natalie walks through her real time response: shutting the meeting down in seconds, sending a new meeting link to the full guest list during an extended lunch break, and getting a security briefing from one of their own speakers before day one resumed. Pam and Natalie compare this to a similar incident that happened to a friend during her own book launch event, where the outcome was far worse because no one on her team knew how to respond quickly. The episode closes with an announcement: Reignite Live season two is set for January 22, 2027, in Loveland, Colorado.

In This Episode:

• How Natalie and Pam responded when their success summit got hacked mid session
• The difference between a three second response and a freeze response, using a friend's book launch as the contrast
• Why taking ownership of the incident mattered more than explaining how it happened
• How the hosts rebuilt attendee trust well enough that people came back for day two
• Why unprotected Zoom meetings are still getting hacked in 2026
• Details on Reignite Live season two, coming January 22, 2027 in Loveland, Colorado
