Hidden Beliefs Running Your Life And How to Change Them with Shelly Lefkoe

We will learn: The crucial difference between beliefs and patterns (and why most people get stuck working on the wrong one) How to eliminate limiting beliefs in hours instead of years — validated by research The surprising truth about how childhood experiences create your adult survival strategies (and how to finally break free from them) How many times have you sworn to break a pattern, only to find yourself living it out again — in an entirely new way? We walk around thinking we're in control of our choices. But what if those big decisions about money, relationships, how much you think you're worth — what if those were actually decided by old family wounds you don't even remember? Let me give you some science to back this up. Research shows that 95% of what we do every day comes from our subconscious mind. Think about that. While you're over here setting goals and making vision boards, your subconscious is running the show based on programs it picked up years ago. But listen — these patterns aren't permanent. The cycle can stop with you. Not through forcing yourself to "think positive" or trying to white-knuckle your way through change. It's about actually rewiring your brain's response to those old memories. Today our guest is Shelly Lefkoe, co-founder of the Lefkoe Institute. She's helped over 30,000 people break free from long-standing patterns like procrastination, fear, and relationship issues by going straight to the root cause — their limiting beliefs. And here's what's wild: she can help eliminate these beliefs in just hours. I know that sounds too good to be true, but her work has been validated by independent research from the University of Arizona and published in peer-reviewed journals.

The Alcohol Myth That Kept Me 'Fun' But Small with Dustin Dunbar

We will learn: The surprising science behind how alcohol affects your social confidence – even after just a couple drinks A fresh approach to navigating social situations that doesn't require liquid courage The unexpected link between everyday stress and drinking habits – and how to break free from this cycle once and for all Have you ever had that moment when you're a few drinks in, feeling like the conversation is flowing perfectly... but the next morning you find yourself overthinking every single thing you said? You weren't even drunk – just "socially lubricated" enough to wonder if maybe you talked a little too much, laughed a little too loud, or shared a little too freely. Here's what's fascinating – recent studies show that millennials and Gen Z are leading a quiet revolution in drinking culture. Alcohol consumption among young adults has dropped by 20% in the last decade. They're asking the questions many of us have been afraid to ask: Why is having a drink in hand the default setting for every social gathering? But here's where it gets really interesting – 70% of people who rely heavily on alcohol have underlying stuff they haven't dealt with. Not necessarily major trauma – sometimes it's just the accumulated stress of life, social anxiety, or patterns we picked up growing up. When you really think about it, alcohol isn't solving these challenges; it's just putting them on pause. Today our guest is Dustin Dunbar, founder of the Alcohol-Free Revolution and author of a groundbreaking new book that's challenging everything we think we know about drinking culture. After watching alcohol's subtle but persistent influence through three generations of his family, Dustin didn't just break free from these patterns – he's starting a movement that's helping thousands rediscover what genuine connection feels like without the buzz.

Struggling to Get Pregnant? The Mind-Body Connection Your Fertility Doctor Isn't Talking About with Dr. Gabriela Rosa

We will learn: The science-backed connection between your mindset and your fertility (and why most doctors never mention this) Specific action steps you can take right now to optimize your fertility journey How to transform your relationship with your body from adversary to ally, even when you feel like it's failing you Raise your hand if your fertility journey has not gone exactly as planned. I know there are hands going up everywhere right now - in cars, in kitchens, on morning walks, in offices. Maybe you've been trying for months – or years – with no success. Maybe you got pregnant easily before, and now you're facing loss after loss. Or maybe you're just starting out, and nothing is working the way you thought it would. Here's what's wild – about one in six couples struggles with fertility. That's way more common than most people think. But you know what? That number doesn't tell the whole story. It doesn't show the nights you've cried yourself to sleep, or how hard it is to scroll through social media seeing pregnancy announcement after pregnancy announcement. Let me tell you something I've learned the hard way – your body doesn't care if you've had easy pregnancies before. It doesn't care about your perfect timing or your vision board or your five-year plan. Some of us struggle for years to see that first positive test. Others, like me, get blindsided by loss after things have been easy. Some of us dive deep into fertility treatments, while others keep hearing those frustrating words: "unexplained infertility." But here's the truth – and I want you to really hear this – there's no competition in this pain. Whether you've been trying for five years or you've had multiple losses in one year, whether you're just starting this journey or feeling like you're losing hope – your story matters. Your pain is real. And that tiny spark of hope you're holding onto? Keep holding on. Today our guest is Dr. Gabriela Rosa, a world-renowned fertility specialist who's helped thousands of couples overcome what seemed like impossible odds to create their families. With over two decades of experience, she brings together cutting-edge reproductive science with a deep understanding of how our mental and emotional state impacts our fertility.

How to Build Relationships That Actually Fill You Up with Sah D’Simone

In this episode, you'll learn: How to build authentic relationships that fit your current life stage (no time machine required) The difference between being connected and feeling connected (they're not the same thing) Practical ways to deepen relationships and create new ones, no matter how busy or complicated your life is Have you ever noticed how loneliness shows up differently as we move through life? Maybe in your twenties it hit you at 4 AM when you realized your party crew wasn't really there for you. Or maybe it's hitting you now, in your thirties or forties, when you're staring at your phone wondering when making friends got so damn complicated. Here's what nobody tells you about growing up: connection gets trickier. Maybe you're married with kids, and your idea of social life is trading war stories with other parents at pickup. Or you're single, watching your friends disappear into their domestic lives while you're still trying to figure out where to meet people who aren't swiping right. Or you've got that high-powered career you worked so hard for, but somewhere between the promotion and the corner office, your friendships started feeling like another item on your to-do list. The science behind this is fascinating. Research shows that our social connections peak in our mid-twenties, then start declining steadily. By our mid-thirties, many of us have less than half the social connections we had a decade earlier. But here's the thing – our need for genuine connection doesn't decrease. If anything, it gets stronger. Today our guest is Sah D'Simone, a spiritual teacher who understands this evolution of connection. After his own journey from surface-level relationships to creating deep, meaningful bonds at every stage of life, he now guides others through the complex landscape of modern connection.

Shattering the Illusion of Control: A Masterclass in Conscious Creation with TJ Woodward

We will learn: How to spot and break out of subconscious loops that keep you stuck Practical ways to start consciously creating a life that’s actually yours Tools for creating real, lasting change in every part of your life One day, you’re wild, free, spontaneous—living each moment like anything could happen next. And then, before you know it, you wake up and realize… you’re living the same day for the 5,000th time. It doesn’t happen all at once. At first, that routine feels comfortable, like you’ve finally got things under control. But soon enough, it’s like you’re stuck on a loop. The same habits, the same thoughts, the same patterns keep showing up. And every time you try to break free or make a change, it’s like you’re right back where you started. If you’ve ever felt trapped in a loop like that, you know how it feels. Maybe for you, it’s not something visible, like an addiction or habit. Maybe it’s quieter—a fear that keeps you from making bold choices, a doubt that stops you from trying new things, or just the weight of knowing that you’re not living life on your terms. So how do we break the cycle? How do we step out of these old loops and start creating something real, something that feels like ours? Today our guest is TJ Woodward, a transformational coach and author who dives into the power of conscious creation. TJ’s work is all about unraveling the patterns that keep us in autopilot mode so we can take back control, break free from our loops, and start living fully. TJ is a featured thought-leader on WholeHearted.org along with Brené Brown, Marianne Williamson, Dr. Gabor Maté, and Mark Lundholm.

The Hidden Power of Heart Coherence for Better Relationships, Mental Clarity, and Intuition with Kimberly Snyder

We will learn: How to tap into the unparalleled intelligence of your heart to access higher intuition and make better daily decisions How to align the brains in your heart, head and gut to create more health and success in your life Proven practices to shift from overthinking and resistance into flow, clarity and harmony in your daily life They say the mind is a powerful thing—but what if we've been putting the wrong part of ourselves in charge all along? This is where heart intelligence comes in. It's not about abandoning logic—it's about finding a balance. It's about cultivating enough trust within ourselves that we can stop overthinking every decision and instead feel our way into a life that not only looks impressive on paper but feels deeply satisfying too. In this episode, we're diving deep into what it means to live from your heart, not just your head. We'll explore practical ways to quiet the mind's constant chatter and tune into your inner guidance system. Because here's the truth: your heart already knows what your mind can only dream of understanding. Our guest is Kimberly Snyder, a multiple-time New York Times bestselling author, spiritual and meditation teacher, and an expert in heart-centered living and intuitive decision-making. Her latest book "The Hidden Power Of The Five Hearts" is all about awakening the heart - energetically and through the science of heart coherence - and how the power of the heart has been proven to create greater physical health, energy, emotional intelligence, hormonal balance and better digestion and gut health, as well as more peace and intuition.

How Childhood Wounds Create Today’s Triggers with Glenn Cohen

We will learn: How early emotional experiences secretly shape your neurological coding and influence your life's core beliefs. How your body stores untapped wisdom and intuition, and how to use them to break free from autopilot reactions. A life-changing method to create a gap between stimulus and response. Do you ever catch yourself reacting to a situation and wonder, "Where the hell did that come from?" One minute you're fine, the next you're spiraling into anxiety or lashing out in anger. It's like your emotional thermostat is set to "overreact," and you can't figure out how to reset it. Here's the thing: we're all walking around with invisible wounds from our childhood. Some are gaping and obvious, others are subtle scratches we barely notice. But make no mistake, they're all shaping how we move through the world as adults. This is where understanding our "neurological wounding" comes in. It's not about blaming our parents or wallowing in past hurts. It's about recognizing how those early experiences literally wired our brains and nervous systems. Once we see the map, we can start redrawing it. But here's the million-dollar question: How do we actually do this rewiring? Is it even possible to change such deeply ingrained patterns? Our guest today is Glenn Cohen. He is a Master Neurological Life Coach and the founder of the Center for Neurological Intelligence. He has helped thousands of individuals and couples by guiding them to heal their unresolved neurological wounding and grow into the highest version of themselves. He's developed a method that goes beyond just talking about our issues – it actually helps us reprogram our neurological coding at its source.

Unlocking Higher States of Consciousness through Transcendental Meditation with Dr. Tony Nader

We will learn: How consciousness, not your brain, is the primary creator of your reality. The secret to meditation's deep rest and wakeful alertness. How transcendental meditation can transform your brain functions, improve your physiological age, and even alter your DNA. Do you ever catch yourself thinking, "Damn, why does my brain keep screwing me over?" Maybe you're stuck in an anxiety spiral, or you can't kick that habit you've been trying to ditch for years. Trust me, I've been there, and it's a special kind of hell. Here's a wild thought: What if everything we think we know about our brains is completely backwards? Most people have the wrong expectations of meditation… and actually meditation is kind of the antithesis of meditation. And transcendental meditation helps you get to that state. Non judgment. Non attachment. No expectations. Letting go. And sometimes, even moments of bliss. Our guest is Dr. Tony Nader, one of the godfathers of transcendental meditation and basically an expert in consciousness. And I know I know… consciousness doesn’t mean a whole lot unless you’re deep into spirituality. But what about tapping into infinite creativity, higher potential, more energy, and just carrying bliss throughout your day? This episode is going to make you rethink everything you thought you knew about your mind.

Miscarriage, Disaster, and Family Crisis: How 15 Years of Healing Helped Me Move the Hardest Month of My Life with Melissa Monte

How has everyone been doing? because I have been going through it. September was the most challenging month of my responsible-adult-chapter of my life. It tested every ounce of my resilience and every spiritual tool I've ever preached about. It was the kind of month that makes you question if the universe has a personal vendetta against you. Grief, fear, and raw survival instincts hit me all at once. Here's what I've discovered: in most cases, it's not about rising above or avoiding certain experiences, but instead, radically changing how you experience them. Instead of spiraling in the storm, you dance in the rain. So in this episode, I'm about to share the story of my month filled with loss, terrifying medical chaos, natural disasters, and the business decision that forced me to navigate it all while literally evacuating my family to safety. And I’m also going to share how I’m dealing with it all, because I am still currently in it… what I’m learning, how I’m processing, what I'm leaning into and out of, and my personal healing tools.

Unplugging and Redefining Focus for a More Intentional Life with Hannah Brencher

We will learn: The hidden impacts of constant online exposure. Simple, yet powerful ways to reclaim your focus and purpose. How to change how you connect to others. Do you feel in control of your phone use? Or does it sometimes feel like it’s in control of you? Have you ever wondered how much of your daily stress and anxiety is linked to your phone and constant connectivity? How different would your life be if you made intentional choices to unplug? The problem is, so many of these devices or apps to help you decrease screen time feel so all or nothing. Or they’re too easy to get around. And then ultimately, the change isn’t sustainable. That’s why I’m excited about the approach I learned in this episode. Instead of just cutting off tech, or decreasing our Instagram usage to 30 minutes a day… Hannah Brencher suggests a challenge of 1000 hours completely tech free. What I love about this method is that it alone also gives you a hit of dopamine, but toward something more positive. Those of you who love to-do lists know that joy of checking off a task each day. But there’s more to it than this. Which we’ll talk about today. Hannah Brencher is a writer and a mom with a continual quest to be more present in life. She’s also the author of The Unplugged Hours: Cultivating a Life of Presence in a Digitally Connected World.
