    145. A Mindset Shift: 3 things I am leaving in 2025 and 3 things I am taking into 2026

    As 2025 comes to a close, this solo episode of The Rapport by LilyGrace Podcast reflects on the mindset shifts that shaped my year—and what I’m intentionally carrying into 2026. I share the three things I’m leaving behind: living in constant execution and survival mode, chasing validation instead of purpose, and people-pleasing in relationships that feel draining or misaligned. This episode explores what it looks like to move from hustle to flow, from proving to serving, and from ignoring intuition to fully trusting it. I also unpack the three values I’m taking into the new year: walking away from what no longer serves me, embracing imperfect and evolving relationships, and learning to slow down and enjoy the present moment. From career and business changes to relationships, rebranding, and growth, this year challenged me to let go, trust myself, and step into a more grounded version of success. In this episode, we cover: Execution vs. creation and feminine vs. masculine energy Purpose-driven work and authentic personal branding Releasing people-pleasing and trusting your intuition Letting go of the pressure to be “finished” Shifting from a get mindset to a give mindset Presence, confidence, and enjoying the process If you’re entering a new chapter or craving more intentional growth in your life, career, or relationships, this episode is for you.

    140. Phyzix Physical Therapy with Dr. Jia

    Dr. Jia, the Founder of Phyzix PT,  joins me to share how he’s redefining physical therapy by taking a holistic, nervous-system-based approach to healing chronic pain. Traditional PT is great for acute injuries—but when it comes to lingering pain without a clear cause, it often falls short. That’s because the root of the issue is often far from where the pain shows up. At PhyziX, Dr. Jia and his team look at the body as one interconnected system. They help patients identify hidden compensation patterns that develop after injury and often go unnoticed—yet lead to long-term discomfort. Using a 3-Step Method, they retrain the nervous system to restore natural movement patterns, not just relieve symptoms—so pain doesn’t keep coming back. He talks about how to have the right mechanics in this modern era where we are glued to our screen and also talk about how children’s developmental milestones are key to a balanced and healthy nervous system.
