    Lean Local w/ Jessica Adams

    Jim Schmitt welcomes Jessica Adams from Wisconsin Watch, a nonprofit investigative journalism organization based here in Wisconsin.

Funded through independent investment, their mission centers on strengthening journalism and filling important gaps in public understanding.

    Healing, Habits, and Loving Your Life

    This week on Lean Local, Jim Schmitt welcomes Ken and Lauren Dombrowski from Love Your Life Hypnosis for a conversation about stress, habits, and what it really takes to make lasting change. Ken shares how his life took an unexpected turn after years as a successful general contractor, when illness led him to search across the U.S. and South America for answers—only to discover that unresolved childhood trauma was at the root of his symptoms. Lauren explains that many people come in looking to fix surface-level habits, like smoking or nail biting, but those behaviors are often signs of something deeper. Together, they discuss how life coaching and hypnosis work together as tools to address the underlying causes of stress and anxiety, why so many New Year’s resolutions fail by mid-January, and what it means to truly change from the inside out. Guest: Ken and Lauren Dombrowski
