  • Ep. 130 Break Free From Societal Norms You Never Chose

    What if fitting in was the problem all along? Debbie Harrell spent years trying to be perceived as normal before realizing she was meant to question it.

    Debbie is a resilience and intentional living expert, certified coach, and host of the New World Normal Podcast. As the founder of New World Normal, she helps values-driven women break free from self-doubt and the “shoulds” and “have-tos” so they can design aligned lives that inspire change in the world around them.

    In this episode, we talk about the quiet systems that shape our thinking, from the way we tie our identity to what we do for a living, to how money, hierarchy, and even marriage set rules we never agreed to. Debbie explains why so many of us conform (safety), what bullying has to do with competitive systems, and why changing the way we think can feel scary to the brain.

    She also shares practical tools for finding hope when the world feels heavy, including flexible thinking and looking for glimmers, plus how to question your norms without shame, blame, or guilt.

    If you have ever looked up and wondered who wrote the rules you have been living by, this conversation is going to open some doors.

    If you’re Latinx, you’re probably nodding. If you’ve been the one asking, no judgment. This episode is for you too.

    As Hispanic Heritage Month wraps up, Dāli shares why the month starts on Sept. 15, a little love for her beloved Nicaragua and the thing she cares about most: our names. As someone who learned English as a second language, she knows what it feels like to stumble over a name and keep trying anyway. That effort is what respect looks like.

    In this episode:

    • Why Hispanic Heritage Month starts on Sept. 15 and how it grew from a week to a month
    • Nicaragua’s lakes, volcanoes, poets and El Güegüense
    • Why our names carry culture, history and meaning, and how to say them with care
    • Why parents and educators should treat names as bullying prevention
    • Why Dāli says “U.S. Americans”
    • The $4.4 trillion U.S. Latinx economy and why only 7% of children’s books are about Latinx people

  • Ep. 128: The Power of Surrender: How to Let Go and Move Forward with Carroll Patrizi

    Surrender isn't quitting. It's handing over what's weighing you down so you can finally move forward.

    This week I'm joined by Carroll Patrizi, a wife, mother, grandmother, ultrapreneur, storyteller, speaker, mentor, and co-author who helps people discover and grow their God-given gifts. Carroll is leading Surrender the Movement, and she shares how surrendering things like anger, fear, and "I'm not enough" can bring more energy, more light, and more love into your life.

    We talk about why surrender is a practice and not a one-time decision. We also get into why asking for help takes real courage, what to do when help doesn't show up the way you hoped, and why trust and accountability go hand in hand. Yes, you still have to buy the ticket!

    Carroll also shares how you can add your own story to the Surrender anthology, which comes out this December.

  • Ep. 125 From Stuck to Success: Navigating Neurodiversity, IEPs, and Advocacy

    Does your child have an IEP or 504 plan and you still feel completely lost walking out of every school meeting?

    You are exactly who this episode is for.

    Lisa Richer is a neurodivergent success partner, advocate, and founder of Journey to Bloom. She grew up undiagnosed neurodivergent, raised two neurodivergent boys, and has spent years helping parents, professionals, athletes, and organizations move from stuck to success through her Clarity, Confidence, and Courage Journey Map.

    In this episode, Lisa breaks down what IEPs and 504 plans actually mean in practice, why most general education teachers are not trained to implement them the way parents assume, when it makes sense to bring in an advocate versus an attorney, and why showing up curious instead of combative in school meetings changes everything.

    She also shares how she works with organizations to build neurodiversity-informed cultures from the inside out, and why a single training is never enough to create the kind of lasting change that actually moves people forward.

    This is one of the most practically useful conversations I have had on this podcast, and I think it is going to reach a lot of parents who really need it.

  • Ep. 123 From Domestic Abuse Survivor to Filmmaker: Symone Fairchild's Mission to End the Cycle

    Symone Fairchild survived domestic abuse, represented herself in court as a low-income single mother, lived in a shelter while fighting to protect her son, and almost did not make it out.

  • Ep. 122 Non-Negotiables, Boundaries, and Red Flags in Relationships

    Most of us walk into relationships without ever stopping to ask ourselves what we actually need. And that is exactly where things start to unravel.

    Ruby Raja is back on the DaliTalks Podcast. She is the founder of Inshiraa, a certified trauma facilitator and trainer licensed in the BeyondTrauma modality, and the author of Healing from Narcissistic Abuse: Journeys from Abuse to Freedom.

    In this episode, Ruby breaks down what non-negotiables really are, why so many women give them up the moment feelings get involved, and how knowing who you are before you enter a relationship changes everything.

    We get into love bombing and how it works, why financial independence is one of the most important tools a woman can have, how language reveals character from the very first interaction, and what parents and caring adults can do when a teenager they love is showing signs of being in an abusive relationship.

  • Ep. 121 Reiki, Akashic Records, and Healing Grief Through Energy Medicine

    What if healing from grief, anxiety, or a major life transition did not require years of talk therapy?

    Dr. Susan Edkins is the founder of Dragonfly Integrated Health. She is a certified Reiki practitioner, hypnotherapist, and Akashic Records reader who helps women navigate grief and life transitions through guided meditation and nervous system support.

    In this episode, Susan breaks down what Reiki, hypnotherapy, and Akashic Records actually are, clears up the most common misconceptions about each one, and explains why more and more mainstream medical institutions are paying attention to energy medicine. She also shares a channeled message she received specifically for the DaliTalks community that you will want to replay.

    Whether you are navigating grief, a big life change, or just a nervous system that feels like it is constantly on fire, this conversation is going to open something up for you.
