She was a nurse, a stepmom, a caregiver, and an overachiever—until midlife burnout brought her to her knees.

In this transformative episode, Angela Slade talks with D’Layne Benson, a holistic coach and breathwork facilitator, who shares her powerful story of unraveling during a perfect storm of caregiving, career pressure, perimenopause, and people-pleasing.

What saved her? A single, radical act: asking for help—followed by setting fierce boundaries, regulating her nervous system, and discovering breathwork as a spiritual gateway to healing.

D’Layne reveals how breathwork took her into altered states of consciousness, connected her to higher guidance, and helped her release years of stored trauma and control.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or disconnected from your joy and purpose—this episode will meet you where you are and show you a new path forward.

✨ Ready to reclaim your power and rise? This one’s for you.

Ever wondered what it's like to break barriers in a male-dominated field? Lola shares her personal stories of navigating the skies as one of the few female commercial pilots in the 1970s, facing societal biases and sexism, and her transition to a new life under the sea as a scuba dive master in Mexico. Her journey is a testament to resilience and perseverance, revealing how she overcame isolation and disbelief through sheer determination and the influence of her supportive grandfather.

Lola's experiences highlight the persistent challenges women face in non-traditional careers.

This episode is a clarion call for confidence and commitment, especially for women entering fields where they are underrepresented. We discuss the importance of resilience and critical thinking, along with the need to seek allies in professional settings. Lola emphasizes the progress women have made in aviation and the life sciences, showcasing a shift from tokenism to genuine inclusion.

Ever wondered how your childhood upbringing shapes your emotional landscape as an adult? Join me, Angela Slade, as we sit down with the inspiring Carey Heathcote-Nicholl to explore this very question. Carey courageously opens up about her journey from a household where yelling was the norm to a place of emotional clarity and growth. Reflecting on the 13th anniversary of my father's passing, we find deep connections between our lives and the pivotal moments that led Carey to seek transformative change through my Emotions 101 course. Carey's story is a testament to the power of emotional education in reshaping one’s communication and understanding of anger.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by perfectionism, anxiety, or chronic anger? In this heartfelt episode, we tackle these complex emotions head-on, discussing practical self-regulation tools like meditation and mindful de-escalation. Carey shares her experience of moving from a state of constant anxiety to a more balanced and focused approach to life. Through structured methods and self-compassion, we uncover how breaking tasks into manageable steps can significantly reduce overwhelm and foster a greater sense of accomplishment. This conversation provides a roadmap for anyone looking to manage their emotional defenses and improve their relationships and daily tasks.

Spirituality, intuition, and group therapy—how do these elements intersect in the journey of self-discovery? Together, Carey and I celebrate the communal aspect of healing and the empowerment that comes from embracing one’s spiritual interests. From the vulnerability of sharing personal struggles in a group setting to the deep connections formed through shared wisdom, we explore the transformative power of collective emotional exploration. Tune in to hear how accepting and vocalizing spiritual practices like card pulling and meditation can lead to profound personal growth and a ripple effect of self-empowerment.
