    Healing Hyper-Independence: A Growth Mindset for High-Achieving Women with Lauren Salaun

    Can you be successful, capable, and still quietly exhausted? This episode of The Healing Mindset is for high-achieving women who carry everything alone and wonder why love and ease feel out of reach. Somatic coach Lauren Salaun reframes healing as growth, not a list of flaws.

About the Guest:Lauren Salaun is a certified somatic coach and women's embodiment and dating coach in Los Angeles. She helps high-achieving women leave hustle mode and heal underlying patterns. She hosts AMPLIFY with Lauren. Key Takeaways:Healing is a growth mindset, not proof that something is wrong with you.Hyper-independence often starts in childhood.

    Bart Merrell on Small Wins, Amputation, and Choosing Action

    What does a healing mindset actually look like when life takes something big from you? On The Healing Mindset, host Ria talks with entrepreneur Bart Merrell, the "Side Hustle Samurai," about losing his lower leg in 2024, and why healing was never about staying positive all the time. Bart shares how he prepared for the amputation, why he stayed off support groups until after surgery, and how tiny, repeatable wins carried him through it. Expect a grounded, practical take on acknowledging hard moments without staying stuck in them. About the Guest:Bart Merrell, known as the Side Hustle Samurai, is an entrepreneur, speaker, and author of Monetize Your Mindset. He grew up on a pig farm in New Mexico and turned his own leg amputation into a new chapter of his work.
