The New Normal by Laura Malina Seiler

What if your body is not your enemy but your greatest messenger?

In this episode of The New Normal, I speak with Kelly Noonan Gores, creator of the documentary Heal, about something that deeply changed the way I see illness, stress, and even crisis.

What if nothing is happening against you?

What if life is always guiding you back into alignment?

Kelly shares how gratitude transformed her life, why she believes we are not victims of our genes, and how we can move from resistance into trust, even in the face of illness.

You’ll hear:

• The three types of stress affecting your body
• How resistance creates suffering
• What it truly means to trust life
• Why healing begins with belief

What if the reason you feel tired, disconnected, or restless isn’t because something is wrong with you… but because something ancient inside of you is longing to come home?

In this episode of The New Normal, I’m joined by filmmaker, author, and founder of the Sea Change Project — Craig Foster, known for the Oscar-winning documentary My Octopus Teacher.

We explore what Craig calls the “amphibious soul” — the joy, belonging, and deep inner peace that can return when we reconnect with the natural world… and with the wilderness within ourselves.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How we can reconnect with the wilderness within us
• Why some people feel a pull towards the water
• How tracking trains presence, intuition, and a deeper language with life
• What we can learn from indigenous wisdom about equality, respect, and survival
• The quiet truth behind empathy: learning another being’s “language”
• Why protecting biodiversity is essential

If this episode touched you, I would love for you to share it with someone who needs a gentle reminder that they belong here.

What if the life you’re chasing isn’t actually the life your soul is longing for?

In today’s episode of The New Normal, I sit down with bestselling author and leadership teacher Robin Sharma for a conversation that feels both grounding and deeply healing.

We talk about something so many people silently struggle with: the belief that you can either be spiritual or successful… but not both.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why real spirituality means being fully human
• The hidden cost of toxic optimism
• How emotional wounds can shape your relationship with money
• The difference between victim language and absolute personal responsibility
• Robin’s morning practice: Meditation, Visualization & Prayer
• The eight forms of wealth — and what truly makes life feel meaningful

This conversation is a gentle invitation back into your wholeness — and into a richer definition of wealth that includes your heart, your health, your relationships, and your service.

TRIGGER WARNING:

This episode includes sensitive conversations about childhood trauma and sexual abuse. Please listen with care. You may want to listen to this episode together with someone you trust, or return to it at a time when you feel safe and supported.

There is a part of you that learned very early how to survive.

A part that stayed quiet, adapted, endured and is still waiting to be seen.

In this deeply moving episode of The New Normal, I sit down with actress, activist, and trauma-survivor AnnaLynne McCord for an honest conversation about inner child healing, trauma, and what it truly means to reclaim your life.

We speak about why unhealed trauma doesn’t disappear but gets passed on, how the nervous system holds memories the mind forgets, and why real freedom begins the moment we stop running from our feelings.

Please listen with care — and with compassion for yourself.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why trauma lives in the body, not just the mind
• How inner child wounds shape our relationships and choices
• What EMDR and somatic healing can unlock
• Why compassion is more powerful than repression
• How personal healing contributes to global change
•

In this episode of The New Normal, I’m joined by neurologist and consciousness researcher Steven Laureys to explore what happens in the brain when we meditate, and why this practice can change far more than our mood. We talk about neuroplasticity, the way thoughts become “highways” in the brain, and why even small daily practices can reshape the nervous system.

Steven also shares the moment that shifted his perspective forever: studying the brain of Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard, who had accumulated over 60,000 hours of meditation, and appeared neurologically 10–15 years “younger” than expected.

In this episode, we explore:

• What brain scans reveal about meditation (gray matter and connectivity)
• How neuroplasticity changes your brain through daily input and repetition
• Why thoughts and beliefs strengthen like pathways the more we repeat them
• How to meditate in real life, even with a full, busy schedule
• What science can (and can’t yet) explain about consciousness

When life feels slow, heavy or confusing, it’s easy to believe we’ve taken a wrong turn.But according to Matthew McConaughey, every red light eventually becomes a green light — if we’re willing to look honestly at who we are and who we’re becoming.

In this inspiring conversation, Matthew shares the inner dialogue behind his most difficult moments, how he learned to trust the timing of his life, why discomfort can be a compass, and how small steps can pull us out of the deepest “victim mode”.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How to stop chasing the wrong goals for the wrong reasons

• What Matthew learned from returning to his old journals

• How to take one small step out of helplessness and into power

• Why your soul is magnetically drawn to what is meant for you

There are stories that change the way you see life forever.

My conversation with Dr. Edith Eger is one of them.

Edith is a Holocaust survivor, renowned psychologist and bestselling author who has turned unimaginable horror into a living example of freedom, compassion and hope. In this deeply moving episode, she shares how she chose not to remain a victim, why forgiveness is really about setting yourself free, and how we can all learn to live from love instead of hate — even when life feels unbearably hard.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why Edith refuses to call herself a “victim”
• What forgiveness really means (and what it doesn’t)
• How to change your inner dialogue from “yes, but…” to “yes, and…”
• How to keep hope alive in a world that keeps breaking your heart

There are seasons in life when everything feels heavy, when old fears return, or when your mind keeps replaying the same conversation. In this intimate conversation with my dear friend and author John Strelecky, we explore how to build a life that truly feels meaningful from the inside out.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why anger is often a hidden form of fear
• How to step out of emotional spirals with awareness and kindness
• What changes when you trust your intuition and rewrite old beliefs
• Why letting go is sometimes the most loving thing you can do

If this conversation spoke to you, it means a lot if you subscribe, leave a review, or share it with someone who needs a reminder that they are allowed to live life on their own terms.

What if everything we’ve been taught about God was based on fear, not truth?

Bestselling author Neale Donald Walsch shares the revolutionary idea that humanity’s chaos and suffering come from one mistaken belief — that God’s love is conditional. What would happen if we began to see ourselves, each other, and the Divine as unconditional expressions of love?

You’ll hear:

• How to recognize when you’re connected to divine truth — and not fear
• Why redefining God changes the way we love each other
• The difference between love as an exchange and love as freedom
• How to break free from inherited cultural and religious conditioning
• A simple spiritual tool to live as pure love — starting today

This is one of the most beautiful conversations I’ve ever had.

May it remind you of who you truly are.

With love,

Laura
