Heart & Hustle Visionary Healers, Movers & Shakers

There are conversations that stay with you long after they end… This one with Martina Tisljar is one of them. Martina shares her remarkable journey—from a life-changing spiritual awakening to discovering the power of emotional healing, intuition, and learning to truly trust herself. We talk about why so many of us lose connection with our inner voice, how fear can drown out our intuition, and why silence may be the most powerful practice of all. One of my favorite moments was when Martina said: "The time of the lone wolf is over." I couldn't agree more. We need each other. We need community. We need spaces where women can gather without judgment, encourage one another, and remember who we truly are. This conversation is full of wisdom about healing, self-trust, showing up for yourself every day, and remembering that change doesn't have to happen alone. If you've been feeling disconnected from yourself lately, I think this episode will meet you exactly where you are. ✨ Watch now and I'd love to know... What does "touch the silence" mean to you?

There are moments in life when everything you've known no longer feels like it fits. Those moments can feel unsettling... but they can also become the doorway to something beautiful. In this episode of Heart & Hustle, I had the joy of talking with Natasha Ramlall, an Embodied Integration Coach who helps women navigate those seasons of transition with compassion, presence, and trust. We explored what Natasha calls an identity rupture—those times when life asks us to release old versions of ourselves so we can step into something more authentic. We also shared our love of dance as a way of reconnecting with our bodies, finding joy, and remembering who we truly are beyond expectations and performance. If you've been feeling like you're standing between who you were and who you're becoming, I think you'll find comfort and inspiration in this conversation. 🎧 I'd love for you to listen and let me know what speaks to your heart.

What if healing didn’t have to take years? What if the stories, fears, and old identities you’ve carried for decades could finally soften… with compassion, awareness, movement, and vision? This week on Heart and Hustle, I sat down with the brilliant and deeply grounded Lillian Moore — trauma expert, teacher, entrepreneur, and founder of Mindlight — for a rich and expansive conversation about healing, nervous system work, creativity, vision, and becoming who we’re truly meant to be. And wow… this conversation is full of wisdom. We talked about: ✨ healing trauma with compassion instead of shame ✨ why the body already knows how to metabolize emotions ✨ self-sabotage, resistance, and creative power ✨ the importance of vision when rewriting your life ✨ moving beyond survival mode ✨ “the tiger and the berry” — one of my favorite metaphors from this episode ✨ weaving healing, self-love, and intention into everyday life ✨ and how connection, community, and supportive environments can completely transform us One of my favorite reminders from Lillian was this: “Healing happens faster when you’re healing in a direction.” YES. Not just endlessly trying to fix yourself… but moving toward the life, the joy, the relationships, the creativity, and the future that are calling you forward. This conversation felt deeply nourishing, inspiring, practical, and hopeful.

What if the stories we tell ourselves are the very things keeping us disconnected from who we really are? This week on Heart and Hustle, I had the absolute joy of sitting down with the brilliant and deeply inspiring Shari Foos — therapist, writer, performer, storytelling practitioner, founder of The Narrative Method, and fellow lover of curiosity, creativity, and authentic human connection. This conversation lit me up. We talked about: ✨ the loneliness epidemic and our deep need to be seen and heard ✨ the “cult of culture” and how society teaches us we’re not enough ✨ creativity as healing ✨ writing as a path back to your authentic voice ✨ the power of storytelling, community, laughter, and relational mindfulness ✨ learning to create a safe base within yourself Shari shares such beautiful wisdom about reconnecting with yourself beneath all the noise, pressure, perfectionism, and conditioning.

Heart and Hustle #219 with me, Paulette Rees-Denis and today's guest Blaise Kennedy I hope this week is meeting you with a little spaciousness, a little breath, and perhaps a little more curiosity about what it means to truly listen to yourself. This week on Heart and Hustle, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Blaise Kennedy for a conversation that felt both grounding and expansive—one of those conversations that opens something deeper while you’re listening. Blaise and I explored spirituality, trauma, embodiment, healing, and what it really means to reconnect with yourself in a world that often teaches us to stay disconnected. What I loved most about this conversation is how honest it is. Blaise speaks so beautifully about his own journey—from addiction and disconnection to meditation, healing, and a life devoted to helping others come back into relationship with themselves. We talked about what it means to: listen inward, understand the body, move through trauma with support, and uncover the deeper intelligence already living within you. I always love these kinds of conversations because while every journey is deeply personal, there is something so powerful about hearing how someone else found their way back to themselves. And this one is full of those moments. So enjoy our conversation with Blaise—there is so much wisdom here, and I think you’ll find something in it that speaks directly to where you are. More about Blaze! Blaise Kennedy is a spiritual teacher, meditation guide, and creator of Developmental Architecture—a body of work devoted to helping people reconnect with themselves through presence, embodiment, consciousness, and collective healing. Drawing from his own lived experience of addiction, recovery, and deep spiritual practice, Blaze teaches an integrated path of healing that brings together meditation, trauma awareness, relational intelligence, and embodied self-awareness. His work helps people reconnect with the deeper motivations beneath their patterns, access the wisdom of the body, and move through healing with greater clarity, connection, and support. Blaise works with individuals and groups around the world through meditations, teachings, and transformational programs designed to support awakening, healing, and human development.
