Love Through It with Lianna Nielsen

From attached earth-bound souls to nighttime Frosties, Lianna and Claire cover a lot of topics this week. Starting with Claire sharing about her night out at an old lesbian party and standing a foot above them all. Then Lianna shares the report from her recent home dowsing, which included an unexpected personal dowsing. Turns out, she had 3 times the amount of geo psychic stress attached to her than her house did. They then talk about the difference between Flow and Force with an exercise to identify the times we're forcing moments and not being ALL that we can be.

When you experience a magical week, you have a magical episode. Lianna tells about the beautiful moments of unexplained joys and discoveries from her week, while Claire shares her carpentry tales. From belly rubs, to Krispy Kremes, to intentional beach visits, to Future People and a resurrected ice wand, this week’s episode is filled with magic.References from the episode:Omakase Chi Nei TsangDemetri Martin on glitter

From Light Language to Famesick, this week Lianna and Claire jump into a variety of topics. In unplanned matching white t-shirts, they talk about their loving life lists, the MTV generation, Uranus leaving Taurus, the comfort of listening to podcasts, theatrical backdrops, hosting pros and cons, Today show fixes, and realizing that not making it as a young actor was actually a blessing, thanks to Lena Dunham’s Famesick. References from the episode:Lena Dunham’s FamesickFan Girl Cafe in West Hollywood, CALianna's favorite Chosen Foods Mayo Light LanguageAmy Poehler’s Good Hang podcast Handsome podcast

Maybe it was from the planet's crazy alignment, but this week, Lianna and Claire got each other out of their funks by coming together to laugh, share, and question. First, they laugh about Claire’s birthday, then discuss Lianna’s recent Feng Shui revamp (while praising color-coded book organization), move on to chat about authenticity, finite amounts of pain, living in the worst-case scenario, and incorrectly attributing famous quotes. Lianna prescribes homework you’ll want to do: make a list of how you enjoy life? Or what small parts of life do you love? It will change your whole perspective while you look for things that bring you happiness. References from the episode:Types of Feng ShuiFeng Shui tips for beginnersSara LandonJoe DispenzaBo Burnham’s InsideBo Burnham’s White Woman’s Instagram

This is a very special episode with a very special quest. After a fun chit chat about adorable pink sweatsuits, The Boyfriend dating show, Summer House drama, and life in New York, Lianna is joined by the presence of Claire’s Mom. It was a sudden inpour of love and energy. Her presence really opened up their conversation to about joyful pursuit, listening, and whether free will actually exists. References from the episode:The Boyfriend reality showGoggleBoxMystery Scienece Theater 3000Summer House dramaGiggly Squad Lianna’s Tonight Show sketchAstrocartographyWhy you need a BodegaJoe DispenzaSara LandonRick Rubin interviewing Jonah HillThe New Yorker video with both Lianna & Claire!Molly Shannon’s Mary Katherine GallagherMolly Shannon’s Sally O’Malley (I’m 50!)

Let’s fan our own flames with some music! Fresh off her trip to Rome, Lianna shares some of the highlights (art! food! walking!) and unexpected disappointments (seeing *that* painting). Claire chimes in with a tale from a chaotic trip to Italy 20 years ago that involved being nearly kicked out of a wedding party and spraining her ankle. They then dive into the practice and healing of Biofield Tuning and creating a playlist of childhood bops. Start creating your playlist so you can tap into that part of you that may have started to disappear after all these years.References from the episode:The Aventine Keyhole in Rome The Sistine Chapel and Modern TourismA look at Bernini’s sculpture “The Rape of Proserpina” Akashic RecordsBiofield Tuning & Eileen Day McKusick(hilarious personal photos will be posted to the Love Through It Instagram)

And we continue! Last week, we paused just before Lianna started sharing her interior design fiasco. We pick up with a backstory that dives into the effects of the Schumann Resonance, aka the Earth’s heartbeat. Lianna’s body was new again with these sickly effects, and she felt humbled as an intuitive health coach. Follow along today as she shares her discoveries and understanding of the new energies, touching nature, Gene Keys, and intense belly rubs. Claire also shares an equally fascinating discovery: she’s now a graphic tee gal. Resources from the episodeEarthBeat appSchumann Resonance Gene Keys and Richard Rudd Alentejo region of Portugal Chi Nei Tsang

Twinsies! It’s an episode of synchronicities starting with Lianna and Claire unknowingly wearing the same periwinkle blue. This week’s chat covers the lie that is Lianna’s height, the ups and downs of Claire living in Los Angeles so far, and the prescribed dosages of comedy and 1-3 minutes of daily Joy. Lianna also walks you through an exercise to visualize the life you want to live and helps find a moment or memory that immediately fills you with love. It’s a reminder that we become what we practice.https://www.instagram.com/lovethroughitpodcast/

Welcome back! Their planned 1-month break turned into a mere 19 months, but no one is surprised. Especially the hosts, Lianna Nielsen & Claire Burns. Life sometimes needs you to slow down in order to hear your voice, or as in Lianna’s case, shed life as she knew it. Join them on their first episode back, where they dive into the magic and mystery that they’ve experienced since they last recorded.References from the episode:Human DesignGuanyin / BodhisattvaSchumann ResonanceThe Map of Consciousness by David Hawkins Emilio OrtizLiving with Joy by Sanaya Roman

Lianna and Claire do their best not to be long-winded with a "minisode" where they discuss how difficult it is to sail the boat when you're still building it, learning the art of non-doing doing, counting down to the big move to LA, and then they dive into Claire's favorite topic: TV (specifically Palm Royale and Sunny)

In part 2, Lianna & Claire dive deeper into the digital detox, Gene Keys, falling into the void, and coming from a place of curiosity, not judgment. Gene Keys - free profile

Lianna shares about her digital detox in the perfect horror movie setting. Claire talks about how she's no longer living a lie. They both agree that they can no longer force themselves to do anything they don't want to do. But Claire is very excited about writing a comedy/horror movie based on Lianna's digital detox with Chris, the robot lawnmower.

It's the Season 1 finale! And what a 15 months it's been. Lianna and Claire catch up on the first season of Love Through It and reflect on how much they've both grown since the first episode. Lianna moved to Portugal, refocused her business, and had a full consciousness shift. Claire found herself through love and loss and listening to her body despite her lack of sleep. Looking ahead to season 2, Lianna will bring more conversations with like-minded colleagues and friends about growth, science, knowing, and personal evolution.

Enjoy this extra special episode of Lianna chatting with her dad, Dr. Paul "Howie" Nielsen. They reminisce about their family adventures with agitated hippos and curious gorillas, how Lianna was a headstrong child who loved to melt crayons, and how Howie's curiosity in maps and people led to such an enriching life. Howie was raised in Chicago by loving, but overprotective parents — children of Scandinavian immigrants fresh from rural Minnesota. This forged his parenting philosophy of giving Lianna as much leeway as possible. His mother chose the universities he applied to and picked the cheapest option. Howie stumbled his way through biology, chemistry, and public health before getting his doctor of dental surgery. He used his degree to travel the world, doing volunteer work in six different countries. His wife Karen became pregnant with Lianna while they were working in a Philippine orphanage, forcing a lifestyle reassessment. The next 22 years were dedicated to a private practice in Maine where they raised their daughter. Howie’s passion in life is natural history, especially birds. Once Lianna was fledged, Howie and Karen worked in wildlife conservation in Southeast Asia for 11 years where he contributed to the discovery of the Cambodian tailorbird. He is now retired, pursuing birds locally in Maine and around the world, and tending to his flower garden with Karen.

It’s time for a catch-up! Lianna and Claire discuss all the weird things they’ve been up to lately. The conversation goes from Wayne’s World and Carol Burnett to sex parties and body positivity to appreciating the ebbs and flows of different relationships to the fine art of intimacy and dissociating during sex.

Lianna is joined by former client and fellow coach (of spiritual inner child healing), Despina Sokratous. They discuss how they were drawn to work together, they still need to use their tools, healing works better with others, it's important to recognize and accept feelings, and play is necessary more than ever. Despina's Instagram Despina's TikTok Despina's website Despina's personal About Me: My name is Despina Sokratous and I wanted to take this time to officially introduce you to our mission and purpose for this platform. First, here's a background story. About 10 years ago, after going through a broken relationship and falling into severe depression, panic attacks and anxiety, I was introduce to meditation and shadow work as a form of healing. Being desperate for change allowed me to open myself to the practice of meditation, shadow work and other holistic sources of healing. It was life transforming. About 4 years ago, I desperately wanted to find my purpose and how I can use it to help other people through my story and experiences. So many changes had happened in the past 4 years for me. Loosing friends, relationships, a business, moving to a different country. And that allowed me to really listen to my intuition and find my true purpose. And that’s how Crystals Within was created. In the process, I was also able to heal myself from PCOS with meditation and Chinese herb medicine. All of that led me to understand the power we all have within and how unlimited we are as human beings and most of the times, all we need is just that little piece of awareness to make that shift in our life.

After years of creating leadership tools and systems, Kathleen Schafer (founder, Human Being Store) found people were seeking a life of meaning in work they love. Lianna discusses with her when we're told to turn away from our Gifts by society, the increase in yearning to do meaningful work, and honoring the being as much as the human in each of us. Human Being Store's website Kathleen Schafer is a trailblazer in leadership development, particularly for those who impact the public good. Kathleen has spent more than 30 years guiding people to create change in the world by embracing their leadership and effectively expressing themselves to achieve tangible, real world results. Grounded in the rough and tumble world of politics, seasoned in business, honed in academia and broadened by her own journey to create a balanced life, Kathleen insightfully and poignantly guides clients to recognize their leadership potential and to offer it to the world in a way that benefits everyone. Kathleen began expressing her passion for the practice of leadership early in her career. Working as a legislative and executive government staffer in her home state of Michigan, she noticed that political officials who had all the ingredients for success would be thwarted in reaching their goals because they weren’t clear about who they were and what they wanted to contribute to their work. To address this gap, Kathleen helped budding leaders find their power by co-founding the Michigan Political Leadership Program (MPLP) at Michigan State University in 1992 to allow emerging leaders understand how to be effective candidates and officeholders. It was the first of many of Kathleen’s leadership innovations that encourage and guide others to “live leadership,” a practice she has dedicated her career to cultivating. In 1995, after launching the MPLP and building a successful communications firm, Kathleen founded a company whose mission was to support emerging leaders in the political process—particularly women and other underrepresented groups—and became a consultant to local, congressional and statewide campaigns. In 1996, the Dean of the Graduate School of Political Management (GSPM) at George Washington University asked Kathleen to build its political leadership curriculum. The leadership curriculum she developed and taught for 16 years continues to be the cornerstone of leadership education for generations of political professionals being educated in our nation’s capital and around the world through the GSPM’s many international training programs. By 2007, Kathleen Schafer had developed her proprietary leadership model that serves as the basis of her continually evolving work. Currently, she works with individuals and organizations that are committed to creating meaningful change in the world. She has coached and taught thousands of current and emerging leaders throughout the world, including those at the highest levels of the United Nations, United States Government, international governments and nonprofits, domestic advocacy organization and large and small corporations and entertainment. She continues to be on the forefront of leadership education in emerging democracies as one of the few to teach leadership in the Middle East (Iran, Egypt, and Jordan) since the Arab Spring, building on her extensive speaking in Central and South America and Europe. Her clients include elected and appointed officials, non-profit and for-profit executives, philanthropic leaders, entrepreneurs, coaches, and media personalities—all interested in expressing the best of their leadership and aligning their organizations to create meaningful and lasting impact. Kathleen is based in Ojai, California, and has authored two books, Living the Leadership Choice and Choose to Lead.
