What does a 12-year-old author have to teach us about meditation, mindfulness, and discovering our inner light? The answer might surprise you.

Lucas Jacques joins us for a conversation that will leave you both inspired and humbled. At just 12 years old, Lucas has accomplished what many adults only dream of—authoring a powerful book called "The Light Within" that's packed with wisdom about connecting to your inner peace through mindfulness and friendship.

The journey began after a car accident when Lucas was just six years old. What started as a desire to write an "I Survived" story evolved into something much more profound as he grew and began practicing meditation around age eight. Now he uses various meditation techniques to manage emotions, improve sleep, and even connect with departed loved ones—practices he sometimes shares with close friends.

Far from being just a young person dabbling in writing, Lucas displays remarkable insight throughout our conversation. When asked what message he hopes readers take from his book, his answer is profoundly simple: "Never quit." He astutely observes that "more grown-ups quit than children do," and when discussing the inner light at the center of his book, he shares the beautiful wisdom that "Try not to find it, it will find you."

Lucas is already planning his next projects, including a book to help children overcome fear of dental visits and potentially continuing "The Light Within" as a series. His parting advice? "Always stay positive, and if you think positive, you'll always achieve what you need to achieve."

Listen to this episode, then share it with someone who needs a reminder that wisdom can come from unexpected sources, and that the light we're all searching for might already be searching for us.

Step into the imaginative world of Frank Talaber, a prolific Canadian author who has mastered the art of blending mystery, spirituality, and the supernatural. 

Frank's journey began with "Ravens Lament," inspired by the sacred golden spruce of Haida Gwaii. What makes his creative process truly remarkable is his connection to the stories themselves. At Victoria Museum, he experienced voices attempting to communicate with him, which a First Nations reader later suggested was spirits reaching out to someone who could share their narratives. This profound experience shaped Frank's approach to weaving Indigenous and Celtic traditions into contemporary fiction that resonates with readers on a spiritual level.

Unlike many writers, Frank dismisses the concept of writer's block entirely. Through a technique learned in his high school creative writing class, writing continuously without concern for grammar or punctuation, he allows his creativity to flow unimpeded. 

Frank's commitment to authenticity shines through his research process, which he considers foundational to great storytelling. 

His advice to aspiring writers is refreshingly straightforward: persist through rejection (he received 398 before his first acceptance) and trust your creative instincts.

What if the biggest barriers to your success aren't external obstacles, but hidden patterns within your own subconscious? Transformational coach Brittni Cosgrove reveals how our magnetic energy attracts precisely what we're internally aligned with – for better or worse.

Drawing from her extensive experience as a certified master coach, breathwork facilitator, and resident coach for the nonprofit Travel Through Trauma, Brittni shares powerful insights about breaking free from self-sabotage. She explains that true magnetism comes not from what we do, but from who we authentically are, highlighting how radical self-acceptance creates a magnetic field that attracts opportunities aligned with our deepest values.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Brittni demonstrates how subconscious set points – formed primarily in childhood – create invisible ceilings in our lives. Through a simple breathing exercise and compelling client stories, she shows how these hidden barriers manifest in business and relationships, often contradicting our conscious goals. One particularly striking example involves a client who had unconsciously linked increased business revenue with divorce risk based on childhood experiences, effectively sabotaging her financial growth despite her best strategic efforts.

Brittni also shares the transformative power of somatic practices such as breathwork, explaining how they help us move beyond mental processing to access the wisdom stored in our bodies. This approach recognizes that many limitations aren't logical problems to be solved but energetic patterns to be released. The discussion extends to her work with Travel Through Trauma, where the combination of coaching and solo international travel creates powerful breakthroughs for young adults from underprivileged backgrounds.

Imagine going from a life of luxury with Bentleys, private planes and homes around the world to sleeping on a friend's couch with three small children after escaping a dangerous marriage. This was Geeta Sidhu-Robb's reality before she transformed her life and built multiple groundbreaking businesses that would change women's health in the UK forever.

Today, as founder of GSR Coaching and CEO of Nosh Detox, Geeta has helped nearly 19,000 women transform their relationship with their bodies, particularly during perimenopause – what she calls "the single biggest metabolic upheaval" in a woman's life. Her approach shatters conventional wisdom about midlife weight gain, revealing that the stubborn "stress fat" around women's midsections isn't a failure of willpower, but rather the body's intelligent attempt to replenish estrogen stores as natural production declines.

Geeta's revolutionary three-part framework addresses the physical, mental, and emotional dimensions of perimenopause. Rather than excessive cardio that can exacerbate cortisol issues, she recommends prioritizing weightlifting, starting every meal with a salad to prevent glucose spikes, and eating until truly full, not just until less hungry. Her hormone insights are equally compelling, including the remarkable statistic that estrogen supplementation can reduce the risk of dementia by 67%.

Perhaps most powerful is Geeta's distinction between self-confidence (based on external achievements) and self-esteem (your internal value system). She shares stories of coaching extraordinarily successful women who still believe their worth comes only from serving others, and offers her "unpacking" method for dismantling these limiting beliefs.

Have you ever experienced a moment that completely altered the trajectory of your life? Those rare turning points that reveal your purpose in startling clarity are exactly what sparked the Women Like Me movement.

Through a mystical dream instructing "you are your purpose," followed by the word "write," and later the devastating loss of her 24-year-old niece to a fentanyl overdose, Julie Fairhurst found her calling. These pivotal moments led her to create a platform where women could share their most painful, authentic stories. What began with 13 women has exploded into over 350 true-life stories across 29 books, each writer driven by the hope that sharing their truth might help someone else heal.

Anna's story exemplifies this healing journey. After surviving a brutal assault at 22 as a new immigrant to Canada, Anna carried her trauma in silence for 30 years, fearing shame and family rejection. When she finally shared her story through Women Like Me, the outpouring of support from over 100 friends and colleagues freed her from decades of hidden pain. This transformation from secrecy to liberation illustrates why sharing our stories matters so deeply.

Perhaps most revealing is how silence around trauma damages families across generations. When Julie's stepsister read about their mother's trauma for the first time, she confessed, "I thought she hated me"—a misunderstanding she'd carried into her fifties. The truth was vastly different: her mother hadn't hated her; she had hated herself. This poignant revelation illustrates how unspoken pain can create false narratives that damage relationships for decades.

Ready to break the cycle of generational trauma? Consider the power of writing your own story, as Julie reminds us, healing begins when we stop burying our truths and start sharing them, one courageous story at a time.

 Listen now to discover how writing can transform not just your life, but potentially your entire family's legacy.

What keeps women from playing big in leadership? How can we create cultures where failure isn't feared but celebrated? And why is self-prioritization not selfish, but essential?

Leadership strategist Erin Herman tackles these questions in this robust conversation, drawing from her two decades driving global impact at the United Nations and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Erin reveals that while men apply for jobs when they meet just 60% of qualifications, women typically wait until they meet 100%. This hesitation stems not merely from self-doubt but from navigating systems not initially designed for women's success. She provides actionable strategies to combat this, including conducting "job audits" to ensure titles match responsibilities and shifting from permission language ("I think") to ownership statements ("I recommend").

Perhaps most transformative is Erin's approach to failure. "Perfectionism is fear wearing a mask," she explains. She advocates for "micro wins," celebrating successes and failures. This practice builds team resilience and rewards risk-taking, essential qualities for innovation and growth.

Listen now to discover how to lead with authenticity, embrace failure as growth, and recognize the power of your unique leadership voice.

Meet Tara Harris, the visionary founder and CEO behind FemiFlex – the world's first pantyless panty liner that's revolutionizing feminine hygiene. When a medical procedure left Tara unable to wear thongs comfortably, she faced a common dilemma: visible panty lines with regular underwear or going without the protection women need. Rather than accepting this limitation, she created an innovative solution that's disrupting a $36 billion industry.

The genius of FemiFlex lies in its medical-grade silicone that adheres directly to the body, providing necessary moisture absorption without the bulk or visible lines of traditional underwear. It can be removed and reapplied throughout the day, making it practical for everyday use while eliminating a fashion frustration that has plagued women for generations. Tara beautifully compares her innovation to how Uber transformed transportation from yellow cabs to ridesharing – a complete paradigm shift in how we approach a longstanding problem.

Tara's entrepreneurial journey embodies both the challenges and triumphs of female founders. Despite creating a groundbreaking product, she faces the familiar obstacles of seeking investment while bootstrapping growth. Her advice to aspiring entrepreneurs centers on what she calls the five S's: "You're going to Stress, you will Struggle, you make Sacrifices and you will even Starve...but that last S is Success." Her resilience shines through as she shares that "a no today doesn't mean it's a no next week." For women building businesses or simply seeking practical solutions to everyday problems, Tara's story reminds us that revolution often begins with personal necessity. Visit our links to learn more about FemiFlex and consider trying this innovative product for yourself!

Sexual health is a conversation too often shrouded in discomfort, shame, and silence. Yet, as this candid discussion reveals, it's a critical component of women's overall wellbeing that deserves honest, open dialogue.

Tina Bieber shares her powerful journey from experiencing a complete loss of libido during perimenopause to becoming a passionate advocate for women's sexual wellness. Her transformation led her to create Tina's Treasures, a safe space where women can explore intimate wellness tools and education without judgment. Through her experiences as both a sexual health consultant and menopause coach, Tina illuminates how closely these aspects of women's health intertwine.

The conversation delves into why sexual health remains taboo, examining how cultural conditioning and generational silence have created barriers to essential discussions about pleasure, body autonomy, and intimate wellness. Tina explains how menopause affects women's sexuality through hormonal changes and offers practical solutions for maintaining sexual wellbeing during this transition, including the importance of maintaining pelvic floor health through regular climaxing and using pH-balanced products.

Perhaps most valuable is Tina's insight into the communication gap between partners. "Women need to feel loved to have sex, while men feel loved when they have sex." This fundamental difference often creates misunderstanding and distance in relationships. Through education, quality intimate products, and the confidence to express needs, women can transform both their relationship with their own bodies and with their partners.

Whether you're navigating menopause, feeling disconnected from your sensuality, or simply curious about enhancing your intimate wellness, this episode offers compassionate guidance and practical wisdom. As Tina wisely shares, "With the right tools, you can make a difference for yourself." Visit tinastreasuresca to connect with Tina or explore her products in privacy and confidence.

Prepare to have your understanding of purpose completely transformed in this profound conversation with Leanne Giavedoni, certified spiritual life coach and creator of the Success Reset System. Having made the remarkable transition from physiotherapist to spiritual guide, Leanne shares the deeply personal journey that led her to discover that physical symptoms often point to deeper spiritual misalignments.

"Your purpose is not what you think it is," Leanne reveals, challenging the conventional notion that purpose must be tied to career or achievement. Through her comprehensive understanding of human design, she illuminates how our inherent purposes might be to collect information, trigger growth in others, create order, or navigate the unexpected. 

The conversation is fascinating when Leanne explains her Success Reset System—a strategic approach that helps identify your true essence, disruptive beliefs, vagal response, and life lessons. By understanding these elements, you can recognize the patterns that have kept you cycling through the same challenges. "We are the common denominator in our own life," Julie observes, highlighting why self-knowledge becomes the cornerstone of transformation.

Leanne's concept of "radical self-care" is revolutionary—a practice that goes far beyond spa treatments and girls' trips. This deeper form of care involves dedicated introspection and understanding who you truly are at your core. 

Whether you're feeling stuck in patterns you can't break, seeking greater alignment with your authentic self, or simply curious about human design, this conversation offers practical wisdom and transformative insights. Don't miss Leanne's free Meditation Mentorship program—the perfect starting point for anyone ready to embark on their own journey of self-discovery and alignment.
