    145. When Your Intuition Calls you Forward with Leah C. Gardiner

    🔥We're sitting down with my friend, Leah C. Gardiner, a Penn- and Yale-educated, Obie Award-winning theater and film director, writer, medium, and founder of the Quantum Soul Level Healing Integration Framework. For more than 30 years, Leah has worked in professional theater, helping actors and creative teams uncover what is true beneath the surface. Today, she brings that same sensitivity to her healing practice, integrating somatic work, ancestral healing, energy work, mediumship, Reiki, and past-life exploration. Leah shares how reconnecting with her biological mother after her mother’s death became a catalyst for finally claiming her intuitive gifts and moving into healing work full-time. She also describes the unexpected email that led to a metaphysical practitioner position at Kripalu—an opportunity that seemed to arrive almost instantly once she became clear about what she was ready to offer. We explore the difference between intuition and anxiety, the body’s role in revealing what the mind cannot always explain, and how consciously choosing a new emotional response can open a different path forward. Leah also shares her personal understanding of the quantum field, past-life and somatic journey work, and the energetic sensations that accompany her intuitive knowing. These ideas are presented through the lens of Leah’s lived experience and spiritual framework, inviting listeners to remain curious and discern what resonates for them. This conversation is an invitation to listen more closely to the wisdom within you. You do not have to remain in a role, relationship, pattern, or version of yourself simply because it is familiar.

    144. Permission to Play (the Wisdom of Leela)

    Adulting can be serious business most of the time. But what about fun? Play, I ask? So this week we're diving directly into the beautiful yogic philosophy of Leela, or divine play.  Leela points to the whole universe as a joyful creative expression of consciousness. Life as sacred play. A dance, if you will. If we're not already working together, and you're wondering what the VIP private coaching is all about...schedule your session here: https://calendly.com/rashmi_schramm/activateinnerpower1-1_30mins I get into what I learned hanging out with my niece and nephew this summer, which is that being an auntie is significantly more fun than being a mom to littles. I talk about improv, which I started two years ago and which has become my ongoing practice in lightness. (We're literally called *players.* Okay?) We also talk about the yogic idea that you are the one playing the role, and the way we forget it. We get so identified with being the physician, the mother, the wife, the leader, the responsible one, that we lose track of the human underneath all of it. Then I bring receipts, because play turns out to be shockingly un-frivolous. One study followed more than 8,500 people for up to 25 years and found that tennis was associated with almost ten additional years of life expectancy. Badminton, over six. The sports that came out on top were the social, interactive ones. Movement, connection, laughter, competition, novelty. Play. (I'm extrapolating straight to pickleball. The haters can come at me.) And then we get practical, because play doesn't need two free hours and a reservation. Ten minutes counts. Paint something badly. Skip instead of walk. Be a beginner at something. Mentioned in this episode: Leela / Lila — a Sanskrit concept from yogic philosophy, often translated as divine play The arrival fallacy — the belief that you'll finally feel whole once you get there Schnohr et al., "Various Leisure-Time Physical Activities Associated With Widely Divergent Life Expectancies: The Copenhagen City Heart Study." Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 2018. 8,577 people followed for up to 25 years. Life expectancy gains compared with the sedentary group: tennis 9.7 years, badminton 6.2, soccer 4.7, cycling 3.7, swimming 3.4, jogging 3.2, calisthenics 3.1, health club activities 1.5. It's an observational study, so causation isn't established. The authors did note that the sports involving the most social interaction had the strongest associations with longevity.

    142. A Kinder Way to Understand Ourselves with Amy Decker

    Have you ever felt like one part of you wants to slow down while another insists you keep pushing? Or wondered why your inner critic can be so relentless? In this episode, we sit down with my dear friend, Amy Decker, LCSW, to explore the powerful framework of Internal Family Systems (IFS) —a compassionate approach that teaches us that we all have different "parts" inside us, and that none of them are inherently bad. Amy shares her remarkable journey from joining the Marine Corps at just 17 years old to becoming a trauma therapist, HeartMath facilitator, and one of the most compassionate clinicians I know. Together, we discuss why so many caregivers and high-achieving women lose touch with their own needs, how our protective patterns develop, and why healing begins with curiosity instead of judgment. We also explore the beautiful overlap between IFS and ancient yogic philosophy: beneath all of our fears, habits, and protective strategies is our true Self—calm, compassionate, curious, and whole.

    140. How to Truly Recover from Burnout with Dr. Jeannie Lawrence

    At the pace that we live in these days, it's easy to believe that burnout is just part of modern life. But it truly isn't.  Our guest this week is Dr. Jeannie Lawrence. She is a board certified psychiatrist and physician coach. She is the founder of the Sanctuary Institute for Life Mastery.  We explore what burnout really is, why if affects so many high-achieving women, and what real recovery looks like.  Dr. Jeannie shares her own journey—from looking like she had everything together on the outside while quietly feeling disconnected on the inside—to discovering coaching and building a life that's deeply aligned with who she is. We also talk about why burnout isn't simply exhaustion, why taking a vacation often isn't enough, and how healing requires more than reducing symptoms. It requires reconnecting with meaning, purpose, and yourself. If you've been feeling emotionally drained, stuck in survival mode, or wondering if there's more to life than just getting through the day, I think you'll find a lot of hope in this conversation.

    139. The Chakras as a Powerful Way to Understand Ourselves

    I've had several listeners ask me about the Chakras, so here we are!  We're exploring the chakra system as an ancient and still relevant framework for understanding ourselves - emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually.  We'll walk through each of the seven main chakras, the simple question each one invites us to ask, and why I believe they can be such a powerful tool for greater self-awareness and personal growth. Whether you're completely new to the chakras or you've been curious for years, my hope is that this episode helps you see them in a whole new light. Have you shared this episode?? Please share widely:) Reference: https://www.rashmischramm.com

    138. Shift Your Energy, Change Your Life

    Solo episode❤️ Please share:) We hear people talk about "good vibes" and "bad vibes" all the time, right? In this episode, I'm exploring the idea that energy is everything through the lens of ancient yoga philosophy and modern science. We'll talk about prana (your life force energy), why stress, people-pleasing, and living out of alignment can leave you feeling drained, and how simple practices like breathwork, meditation, Yoga Nidra, movement, and time in nature can help you reconnect to the energy that's already within you. My hope is that you'll begin to see your energy as something to care for—not just something you hope you have enough of at the end of the day. Because when you change your energy, you really can change your life. If this episode resonates with you, I'd love for you to share it with someone who could use a little more peace and power in their life. Reference: https://www.rashmischramm.com
