    Estelle Gibson’s Journey from Dependency to Empowerment

    What happens when the person who “should” know money best hands over her financial power and loses everything? In this gripping conversation, Estelle shares how her life imploded and how that collapse became the doorway to true freedom, spiritually and financially. As a child, Estelle’s father taught her about saving and balancing a checkbook at eight years old. By high school, she was an assistant bookkeeper, and she went on to become a CPA with Deloitte, working with companies from tiny businesses to massive corporations. On paper, she was money mastery. And then it all shattered. After five years of marriage, her husband came home one day and said, “I want a divorce.” Estelle was left with a house she couldn’t afford and bills she hadn’t been watching. Despite her professional expertise, she had done what so many people do in relationships: handed over the money and stopped paying attention. “I had handed over my financial power. I was left with a house I couldn’t afford, bills I wasn’t paying attention to.” That moment forced a transformation. Estelle had to rebuild financially and emotionally at the same time. Along the way, she noticed something heartbreaking and powerful: in her spiritual and self‑development communities, people were affirming prosperity but couldn’t balance a checkbook. Two worlds. Same fear. No freedom. From that realization, Estelle developed a powerful model she calls “Your Word Equals Your World.” She explains how your words shape your thoughts, which form beliefs, which drive feelings, which fuel your actions, and ultimately your experience with money and everything else. As Jodie Lynn adds, this is where responsibility gets scary. Many people resist the idea that their beliefs create their reality because it seems to imply, “If I’m responsible, I must be bad.” But responsibility doesn’t mean you’re bad; it means you’re powerful enough to choose differently now. Walt pushes the conversation further by asking: if the global fiat system is heading toward a breaking point, what happens when money itself can’t function the way it has? What if we end up in a world where money simply isn’t as important? Estelle has heard some intuitives say exactly that: that our values will shift toward community, care, and belonging, and money will lose its place at the center of everything. The pandemic, she notes, was a preview: suddenly, seeing family mattered more than spending money. So how do you get money flowing now, if “money is energy”? When Walt shares his listener Elmer’s question -“Seeing money as energy, how do I get it to flow and keep it consistent?” Estelle and Jodie Lynn answer from both spirit and practicality: Give and receive. “You can’t just sit back on the receiving end,” Estelle says. Money is circulation, and you “prime the pump” with time, value, generosity, and aligned action.Interrogate your beliefs about receiving. Jodie Lynn suggests asking, “What do I believe it takes to receive a consistent flow?” Then listen honestly and change the beliefs that limit you.Play with it like an experiment. Estelle recommends treating this like a lab: try new thoughts, new actions, and watch what happens. No failure, just data.Most of all, they invite you to a radical reframe: money touches every area of your life, and your spirituality is the foundation of every area of your life. When you align the two, money stops being the thing that breaks you, and becomes the thing that wakes you up.

    Michelle Ford: She Lost Herself While Saving Everyone Else

    What happens when a woman spends decades trying to be everything to everyone, and her body finally says, “No more”? That’s the heart of the conversation between Walt, Anne Marie, and wellness guide Michelle, built around Michelle’s journey from overwhelmed, type‑A single mom to creator of the Holy Well program and the six dimensions of wellness. Michelle described growing up as a classic overachiever with type A parents, then becoming a single mom to two boys just 14 months apart while trying to be the perfect mother, daughter, colleague, and friend. Eventually, her health broke down, leading to an autoimmune diagnosis that forced a reckoning: “Something had to change, I was trying to be everything to everybody, and my health was what suffered.” That crisis pushed her back to her public health roots and to a powerful framework: the six dimensions of wellness - physical, social, spiritual, emotional, occupational, and intellectual. Instead of seeing life as random chaos, she began to see it as a “giant game of whack‑a‑mole” where different parts of us pop up depleted at different times. Walt pressed into the deeper side of this: Walt asked: “What role do you see those inner world pieces playing in your program?”Michelle answered that spiritual, emotional, and intellectual wellness go far beyond “Do I like my job?” or “Do I go to church?”- they are about values, creativity, and mental stimulation, and they directly impact our physical and emotional health.Michelle’s approach is disarmingly simple: Identify which of the six dimensions is most depleted.Notice your behavioral pattern. Are you a chaos‑loving Tilt‑A‑Whirl rider, a cautious Ferris wheel rider, or a stuck merry‑go‑round rider?Start with one tiny “anchor ritual”- a small, repeatable action, to begin refilling that depleted area. “The goal is to borrow from the full to refill the depleted, with baby steps instead of 17 things at once.”Anne Marie’s response made it deeply real. She shared that she went through a career change, menopause, and the loss of her mum in a short span and “completely lost” herself. Hearing Michelle’s framework, she saw how powerful it is to rate each area of life - “I’m an eight here, a four there, a two there” and then gently focus where you’re running on empty: “It just realigns you and brings you back to you.” Michelle’s Holy Well Quiz (18 questions that map those six dimensions) becomes both a mirror and a measuring stick. Women take it, see what’s low, start a micro‑ritual, and retake it months later to see how life has shifted. One woman discovered that, beneath her obvious physical concerns, her intellectual wellness was quietly depleted and that this mattered deeply to her because of a family history of dementia. Throughout, Michelle repeated one critical reassurance: “This isn’t selfish. It’s intentionally meant not to be selfish. It’s meant to make you a better mom, sister, daughter, employee, boss, partner, friend.” If you’ve been playing life’s whack‑a‑mole game, trying to hold everyone else together while slowly disappearing yourself, this conversation is an invitation: Where are you most depleted?Where are you secretly full and could borrow from?What is one tiny ritual you’re willing to claim as yours?Because you can’t save everyone else by losing yourself forever.

    Marc Paisant: The Transformation Beyond 100 Pounds

    “What do you really want?” That was the question Marc’s therapist asked him on a beautiful, sunny Atlanta day when, inside, he felt like there was “one cloud raining on just me.” Mark’s answer was simple and heartbreaking: “I just want to be normal.” In this deeply honest conversation on LOA Today, host Walt and co-host Jodie Lynn talk with Marc - certified personal trainer, nutritionist, strength and conditioning coach, mental health advocate, and podcast host about what happens when therapy feels like it’s failing you, but you refuse to fail yourself. Mark describes walking into therapy feeling broken and abnormal. His therapist gently pushed back: “There’s nothing abnormal about you, this is your normal. Normal is relative.” Those words eventually became the seed for his podcast, Relatively Normal, a platform where Marc speaks with therapists, psychologists, and everyday people about postpartum struggles, imposter syndrome, and the crushing loneliness of mental health challenges. His mission: “I just want to make sure people don’t feel isolated and alone.” Walt relates to his own story - starting LOA Today after a total business “crash and burn” in 2008 and admitting that, at first, he didn’t even think about listeners: “I was doing the podcast because I needed the help. When the first listener email came in, my reaction was, ‘Oh shit, what have I been saying?’” Marc shares a powerful turning point: he had lost weight, checked all the “life boxes” - marriage, house, better body and still felt empty. He called his therapist on the verge of tears: “I feel like I’ve checked all the boxes. Why am I not happy?” The therapist’s answer cut to the core: “Did you think losing all the weight would make you feel better mentally? You have to be intentional with both.” Marc realized he’d been treating physical health as a cure-all for mental pain. That’s when he decided to treat fitness like therapy, even hiring a trainer as his “therapist for physical health.” He stopped using workouts to escape stress and started leaning into his stress at the gym, coming back with “three or four different resolution strategies” after a hard session. Today, Marc’s niche is training young people. Before every session, he asks: “Zero to ten - where are you mentally right now?” If a teenager says they’re at a three or four, he adapts the session. For an eight or nine, he pushes harder. Why? Because: “No one ever asks them where they are mentally.” He refuses to be the harsh coach parents sometimes request: “I don’t want them to hate coming to work with me. My job is sometimes to motivate, sometimes to inspire, and to help them find things in themselves they wouldn’t find without me.” Jodie Lynn beautifully ties the conversation together, pointing out how much of our identity gets trapped in roles - athlete, worker, partner, and how Marc is giving kids permission to ask: Do I actually love this? Or am I just good at it? Marc tells his own daughters, “The first time you tell me, ‘I don’t love this anymore,’ we’re done after the season. I won’t force your childhood to be full of things you hate.” Ultimately, this conversation is a reminder that: Normal is relative.Happy is relative.And you’re allowed to rewrite both.You don’t have to choose between therapy and training, between mental health and physical health, between passion and discipline. You can choose all of it, and you can choose yourself.

    Preparation

    When Walt opened the show by admitting he saw “preparation” and “where are we going?” as almost the same topic, he expected agreement. Instead, Joel gently pushed back. For Joel, those two ideas live in very different emotional universes. “Where are you going matches the concept for me that there is no destination. There’s a journey. Your journey is where you’re going. There is no destination.” That single idea reframed everything that followed. Both Walt and Joel grew up with the same cultural script: work hard, prepare for retirement, and one day you’ll “get there.” But Joel’s life blew that script apart. He talked about chasing wealth, preparing obsessively for a future that never arrived, then losing everything through addiction, homelessness, and jail. “I dug myself an incredibly deep hole, and the process of digging myself out of the hole is what made me successful.” At one point, he believed his life was permanently ruined. Yet looking back, he now calls that period the catalyst for everything good that came later. Walt still remembers resisting that idea the first time he heard it: “I remember distinctly when you were telling me that, I thought you were nuts.” The “worst thing that ever happened” became the doorway to meaning, purpose, and connection with his son. Walt raised a painful question many of us ask silently: How do you prepare when you don’t even know what you’re preparing for or if the preparation advice you’ve been given is totally wrong?   Joel’s answer wasn’t a checklist. It was a mindset. He described coaching a young man who kept postponing applying for a job. Instead of building a big, complex plan, Joel gave him one clear mental anchor: “When you get to the parking lot, apply for the job.” That wasn’t just preparing a résumé; it was preparing a mind that actually takes the next step. Joel lives this daily. He writes five things he’s grateful for every single morning and has done it for decades, including on the day his son died. “I wasn’t able to be sincerely grateful and depressed at the same time.” For him, gratitude isn’t a cute slogan. It’s survival. It’s preparation for whatever the journey brings next. Walt shared a powerful technique: learning to appreciate what you don’t like—not by pretending to love it, but by inching it from -100 to -80 in your emotional “score.” That tiny shift is still an appreciation, because it increases value. “You don’t have to like it in order to appreciate it.” Joel calls this “reframing.” He used it to transform eating from a dumpster from a lifelong trauma into a necessary piece of the story that ultimately helped him connect with his son. As the conversation turned to money, entitlement, and work, Joel said the real lottery isn’t a financial windfall. It’s this: “The ultimate lottery in life is finding a way to make a good living doing what you’re passionate about and love.” That’s the kind of preparation that actually matters: preparing your mind and heart to live the journey fully, instead of waiting for some mythical finish line that never comes.

    Facing Death, He Finally Chose to Live

    What happens when a musician is told he has two years to live and decides not just to survive, but to finally live on his own terms? That’s the story Kevin shared in this powerful conversation with Walt and Jodie Lynn, a story that weaves together music, mortality, and a radical redefinition of success. From the very beginning, Kevin framed music as destiny, not just a career. As a teenager, he discovered the mountain dulcimer and “just knew it was [his] destiny.” By 16, he was signed to a major folk label, recording alongside legends like Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie. He went on to sing the theme for the PBS hit Shining Time Station, and in his words, he got “a little rich, a little famous, a book deal, a record deal, all that stuff.” But the dream came with a price. The stress, pressure, and misalignment of success led to a brutal wake-up call: melanoma. Four oncologists told Kevin it would return within two years, and he’d be dead. He calls it what it was: a death sentence. And yet something in him refused to accept that story. Kevin describes himself as “somewhat psychic,” deeply spiritually attuned, and both musical and spiritual “from birth.” When he heard the diagnosis, he recalls walking through his apartment, speaking out loud to his dog, and saying: “Don’t worry, buddy, we’ll get through this.” Then came the realization: “I discovered there were two of me, the conscious warrior and the knower.” That inner knowing told him he wasn’t going to die. He followed that guidance, turned inward spiritually, found teachings from Yogananda and Ramana Maharshi, and radically simplified his life. He left the Midwest with “my dog and my dulcimer,” moved into a small apartment in San Diego, and embraced minimalism. He lost most of his money and discovered freedom. No house. No lawn. No status to maintain. Just health, music, and what truly mattered. When Walt asked what music really means to him, Kevin’s answer was simple and profound: “It was very healing.” He went on to describe Dulcie meditation using dulcimer instrumentals as a vehicle for accessing the subconscious and receiving quiet inner guidance. He realized he’d been doing it his whole life. That insight became the seed of a new calling. At someone’s suggestion, Kevin began life coaching, helping others apply the same principles he used to heal and rebuild. His first question to clients isn’t “What do you want?” It’s: “What don’t you want in your life anymore?” From there, he asks: What do you want?Why is that truly important?What are you going to do about it?Again and again, he returns to a central truth: health and self-love are the real wealth. “Your greatest asset is your health,” he says. “Forget about everybody else. Love yourself.” Now, through his upcoming Dulcie Meditations project on YouTube and Substack and one-on-one coaching via KevinRoth.org, Kevin is quietly redefining what it means to succeed: not by being everywhere, but by being deeply present with the few people he’s meant to help. His journey poses a question that lingers long after the conversation ends: If you were given a death sentence, what would you finally permit yourself to let go of, and what would you finally allow yourself to live for?

    The Hidden Cost of Comparison

    What if the way you compare yourself to others is quietly deciding how happy or miserable you feel every day? In this powerful conversation on LOA Today, Walt and Joel unpack how comparison, gratitude, and mindset can either drain your joy or completely transform your life. From the very start, Walt asks the core question behind the episode: Are we falling into a comparison trap, or are we using comparison as a tool for growth? Joel doesn’t hesitate to call out the problem: “Social media is a platform of comparison; people see things, and they judge their life by where someone else is at, and that creates a feeling of lack.” He explains how we look at someone else’s “100%” – the gym-obsessed entrepreneur versus the person on day three of addiction recovery, and decide one is worthy and the other isn’t. But as Joel points out, both are giving everything they have. The problem isn’t effort. It’s the way we compare. Walt adds another layer: those “perfect” people we see online? “You look closer, they don’t actually fit the images.” There is no perfection. Yet we measure ourselves against it every day. Joel recalls the famous line, “Comparison is the thief of joy,” and explains why: when comparison is rooted in lack, we broadcast the energy of “I’m not enough.” That vibration shapes what we attract. But Joel also offers a reframe: “I like to be the dumbest, weakest, and poorest person in a room.” Not because he feels less than, but because he sees possibility. Around people who are stronger, wiser, or wealthier, he isn’t asking, “Why don’t I have that?” He’s asking, “What can I learn from them?” That simple question changes comparison from poison into fuel. Walt connects the comparison to one of their favorite themes: response. We can’t control what happens, but we can control how we respond. And with comparison, that response is everything: Do I use someone else’s success as proof I’m failing? Or as proof that what I want is possible for me too? Joel illustrates this with heartbreaking, real-life stories: the overdose of a bright 16-year-old, the death of his own son, families choosing to turn grief into advocacy, awareness, and even life-saving organ donation. “You can’t make tragedy not be tragic,” Joel says, “but your response to it can be empowering.” Walt brings it back to the simplest emotional guidance system possible: “It’s either I feel better, or I feel worse.” Instead of comparing ourselves to strangers on a screen, what if we only asked: Does this thought, this action, this focus make me feel better or worse? Joel agrees that comparison is at its best when it’s you vs. you: “Comparison is a quick way with yourself to show the subconscious brain things are different now.” Comparing who you are today to who you used to be can reprogram your belief in what’s possible. In the end, Walt sums up their journey: they both tried for years to make all of this complicated. But underneath it all, it’s simple: Notice how you compare.Choose gratitude over lack.Ask: Does this make me feel better or worse?And keep honoring the process, not just the result.Because the real “gratitude beyond the cake” isn’t about the celebration at the end. It’s about learning to love the journey that gets you there.

    She Tore Her Past Apart and Found Herself

    What happens when you stop running from your past and start ripping it up literally? In a powerful conversation on LOA Today, host Walt and co-host Anne Marie sat down with artist and soul-portrait guide Devorah to explore how creativity can become a lifeline out of shame, trauma, and self-hatred. From the outside, Devorah “looked” successful. She went to art school, showed in galleries, and was known as a professional artist. Inside, she felt like she was “never enough.” As she told Walt, she had grown up deeply dyslexic, struggled in school, and carried a childhood certainty that she was simply “bad” and somehow “going to hell” despite not growing up in a religious household. That early inner verdict fueled years of painful choices that seemed to “prove” her own worthlessness. One of the most haunting moments she shared was sitting in freezing Prague, wearing summer clothes, contemplating simply leaning back and letting nature take her life. “Something in me said, ‘No. Get up,’” she recalled. That tiny inner “no” became a turning point. Walt asked what it was like the first time she truly looked under the hood of her own story. Devorah admitted she was terrified of what she’d find: “I was so scared of what I would find looking under the hood, and what I found was love.” Unable at first to put her truth into spoken words, she found a different way: soul portraits. She began writing out her stories - letters, memories, confessions then ripping them up and collaging the pieces onto canvas. She layered writing over the fragments, then painted over the writing. In doing so, she deconstructed her old identity and rebuilt a new one in art form. Walt recognized it immediately: “You found a way to artistically journal.” That’s exactly what it is. Soul portraits are visual journals that live halfway between art and ritual. You don’t need to be “an artist.” As Devorah told Anne Marie, if you can smear glue and rip paper, you’re qualified. The power is not in making something pretty. The power is in getting what’s stuck in your body out onto the canvas, where you can finally see it, witness it, and relate to it differently. The conversation went even deeper when Devorah shared the compounded heartbreak of discovering her children had been sexually abused, losing her extended family support system in the fallout, then watching her husband later develop debilitating seizures. Anne Marie’s “mama bear” response came through strongly as she reflected on just how much Devorah had to navigate at once. Still, Devorah refuses to stay in victimhood. She challenges the belief that we are our worst moments: “I had no idea that under all of those layers was just peace and acceptance, and more than anything, self-forgiveness.” Today, she teaches others to do the same through a digital course, group work, and one-on-one guidance using their own letters, photos, and memories as raw material. Her core question to anyone listening is piercing and simple: Are you willing to look beneath the hood? Because once you start, she says, you may discover you’re not the monster your inner critic told you you were. You might just find a small, stubborn ember of love that has survived everything and is ready to light the way forward.

    Jon Paul Crimi: Rock Bottom to One Life-Changing Breath

    What if everything you’ve been chasing for happiness has been pointing you away from where it actually lives? In this powerful conversation on LOA Today, host Walt and co‑host Jodie Lynn sit down with breathwork teacher and money coach Jon Paul to explore how a simple, uncomfortable breathing technique can unlock decades of trapped pain and reveal a life filled with purpose, joy, and self‑love. Jon Paul begins by sharing his turbulent early life in the Irish enclaves outside Boston - violence, heavy drinking, and deep loss: “I lost six close friends before I was 21. I got stabbed when I was 19 and left for dead.” He describes how alopecia, the sudden loss of his hair during his fitness and acting career, shattered his self‑worth: “My self-esteem, my self-worth, was wrapped up in my looks and that was being stripped away, and it really accelerated my alcohol and drug use.” The pain that had no tools, no guidebook, finally drove him to therapy and 12‑step recovery - steps that got him sober, but still left old trauma buried in his nervous system. Walt asks a question many listeners were likely thinking: “What actually happens in this breathwork stuff?” Jon Paul’s answer changes everything we think we know about “just breathing”: “People think breathwork is relaxing meditation. This isn’t relaxing. This is like saying ‘I do fitness.’ Okay, but do you do CrossFit or yoga? Breathwork is like that.” He explains he teaches circular breathwork, a 30‑minute, mouth‑breathing practice done in a safe space that activates the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) specifically to reach stored trauma and emotional pain. The first 10 minutes? Often awful. “Your brain really fights you. It doesn’t want you to shut it off, and you have to push through that to have this big transformational experience.” One of the most striking moments is when Jon Paul describes what happens in the brain: “There’s a thing called transient hypofrontality. Part of the prefrontal cortex, where the critic lives, where the ego lives, can shut down.” For the first time in his life, he felt “enough”: “The first time I ever felt like I was enough was the first time I did this breathwork.” That quieting of the inner critic allowed a massive emotional release - years of grief, anger, and stored experiences finally moving out of his body. Jodie Lynn admits she’s not a natural “yeller,” and shares how past toxic relationships made screaming feel unsafe. Jon Paul responds with an insight that lands deeply: “Men need permission to cry, and women need permission to yell or scream.” At the end of his classes, he has everyone let out a massive yell, often with a gong crashing in the background. It’s raw, primal, and liberating: “When in life do we yell? There’s something there, it felt like years, maybe even other lifetimes of stuff letting out.” Perhaps the most emotionally charged takeaway is John Paul’s reflection on career and purpose: “We have to give up our dreams to step into our destiny. We can keep pursuing something just because we’ve been pursuing it so long and miss something beautiful right in front of us.” Jodie Lynn reframes it brilliantly, adding that we often must surrender our perceived dreams - the ones handed to us by culture, family, and social media - to finally discover a heart‑centered life worth living. In the end, breathwork isn’t presented as a magic fix, but as an actionable, repeatable way to love yourself by doing the hard inner work you’ve been avoiding. “The life that you’re looking for is in the work that you’ve been avoiding.” And this time, that work starts with one uncomfortable, conscious breath.
