    Energy Never Lies

    In this conversation on Make Things Happen featuring Chakra Coach Laura Morrice, we explore something that has fascinated me for over a decade—the connection between our energy, mindset, and the results we create in life. Many people focus on changing their lives by doing more. But what if the deeper shift begins with your energy? Laura shares her powerful personal story of rising from rock bottom and discovering how the chakra system became a framework for understanding emotional patterns, limiting beliefs, and the cycles we often find ourselves repeating. In this episode, we discuss: ✨ What the chakra system is and where it comes from ✨ How childhood experiences shape our subconscious beliefs ✨ The connection between energy, emotions, and manifestation ✨ Practical ways to start shifting your mindset and energy today One of the most powerful insights from this conversation: Your thoughts send signals, but your emotions amplify them.

    The Future of Financial Resilience

    What does financial resilience really look like? In this episode of Make Things Happen, I sit down with business coach and financial resilience strategist Phuti Mphelo for a powerful conversation about wealth building, leadership, and the mindset required to create financial freedom from the ground up. For more insights on mindset and empowerment, visit my website: https://dianapagano.com Phuti didn’t inherit success. She built it. Brick by brick. Decision by decision. And what struck me most in this conversation is that financial resilience isn’t just about money — it’s about identity. We talk about: 💰 The mindset shift that transforms your relationship with money 💰 How to build financial strength when resources feel limited 💰 Why emotional resilience and financial resilience go hand in hand 💰 The courage it takes to think long-term instead of short-term survival 💰 What it truly means to create generational impact This episode goes beyond tactics. It’s about ownership. Vision. Discipline. And believing you are capable of building something sustainable — even if you’re starting from zero. If you’re navigating uncertainty… If you want to strengthen your financial foundation… If you’re ready to stop reacting and start building… This conversation will stretch your thinking.

    Resiliency - Motivational Episode

    In this powerful episode of the Make Things Happen podcast, I sat down with USA Today Bestselling Author of "Joy Through the Journey,” Internationally Renowned Motivational Speaker, and resilience coach Amberly Lago—a woman whose story will stop you in your tracks and then light a fire in your spirit. For more insights on mindset and empowerment, visit my website: https://dianapagano.com Amberly takes us back to the life she built before everything changed: a successful 26-year career in fitness, sponsored by Nike, a professional dancer, and a coach—until a horrific motorcycle accident in 2010 left her with a shattered leg, a severed femoral artery, and a 1% chance of saving it from amputation. What happened next is nothing short of extraordinary: 34 surgeries, an intense recovery, and a life reshaped by courage, grit, and unwavering faith. But Amberly’s journey didn’t end there. She later faced Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)—a devastating nerve disease—along with years of treatment, setbacks, and the daily choice to keep going. In this conversation, she shares the mindset shift that changed everything: not just trying to get out of pain, but learning how to get through it. Together, we talk about: • Finding strength when life feels unbearable • Why pain shows up in many forms—physical, mental, emotional, relational, and financial—and why it all deserves to be acknowledged • The power of focusing on the “1% chance” and choosing hope • How gratitude and joy can coexist with struggle • The importance of community, asking for help, and getting in the right rooms • Amberly’s book "Joy Through the Journey" and why vulnerability is the path to freedom If you’re in a season where you’ve been hit by something—loss, fear, burnout, uncertainty, or pain—this episode will remind you: you can get back up. And you don’t have to do it alone. 🎧 Listen now and get ready to feel inspired, grounded, and ready to make things happen—no matter what you’re facing. 🎧 Watch now on YouTube: https://youtu.be/iKk-B5rxeyI 📌 Learn more & connect with Amberly Lago: 🌍 Website: https://amberlylago.com/ 📘 Order Amberly’s book "Joy Through the Journey" today: https://tinyurl.com/3fjdfp7c -------------------------------------- For even more inspiration including mindset tools and techniques: 📘 Order my book — THE MORE MINDSET.
