    Ep. 84 - What Dying Taught Me About Living: A Conversation with Captain Tom Huitema

    What if everything you thought you knew about death was wrong?Captain Tom Huitema was living a life most people dream of—soaring through the skies as a commercial pilot, in peak health, thriving with purpose and passion. But in an instant, everything changed. One ordinary night, an undiagnosed heart defect triggered sudden cardiac arrest, and Tom flatlined for 20 minutes. Clinically dead, he crossed over—only to return with vivid memories of the afterlife, stories of peace and love that defy logic, and a mission to share what he now knows: we are never alone, and the work we do here on Earth is about far more than our job titles.Statistically, Tom should not have survived.Over 90% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests are fatal—especially when defibrillation is delayed. Most survivors, if any, suffer severe neurological damage. But Tom came back not only alive, but fully intact—physically, mentally, and spiritually. His survival is nothing short of a medical miracle.His journey is more than a near-death experience—it’s a wake-up call for all of us.In this unforgettable episode, Tom recounts the profound beauty and clarity he experienced while on the “other side.” He describes the overwhelming love that flooded every part of his being, the presence of his father and family waiting to greet him, and the soul-stirring message he received: “What you are feeling are all the kindnesses you’ve put into the world.” Tom’s story is a powerful reminder that our greatest legacy isn’t what we do—it’s how we make others feel. If you are navigating grief, questioning the afterlife, or looking to reconnect with a deeper sense of meaning and hope, this episode is for you!For the whole story: Flying and Dying by Captain Tom Huitema is available on Amazon →  https://a.co/d/fKKartN. 100% of proceeds support the American Heart Association and AED placement programs.You can connect with Tom through his IG - fit2flya787.#BetterTogether #LyfeReinvented #WeGotThis #SpiritualAwakening #Afterlife #NearDeathExperiences #LifeAfterDeath #WhatHappensWhenWeDie #FlyingAndDying #LoveIsTheAnswer

    Ep. 82 - Healing Your Body & Mind: Food, Self-Discovery, and the Power of Community with Dr. Tanda Cook & Dr. Katie Collier

    What if the key to true healing isn’t just about what you eat—but how you think about food, your body, and yourself? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with naturopathic physicians and food experts Dr. Tanda Cook and Dr. Katie Collier, who share their deeply personal journeys of overcoming eating disorders, finding self-acceptance, and using food as medicine.We also dive into a topic that affects everyone—stress and its connection to chronic disease. Your body is designed to prioritize survival over healing, meaning chronic stress can lead to autoimmune diseases, heart disease, diabetes and more. Tanda and Katie explain why today’s traditional medical system often focuses on symptom suppression rather than true healing, and how understanding your body’s natural ability to heal can be a game-changer.Another surprising factor? Community is the #1 predictor of longevity. In a world where disconnection and stress run rampant, Tanda emphasizes the need for real human connection and a supportive environment to create lasting health and happiness.Key Insights in This Episode:  Why self-intuition and self-regulation are key to healing your relationship with food and your body. Why chronic stress is a silent disruptor of health—and actionable ways to reduce it. The power of kindness and curiosity in healing and self-growth. How tiny, intentional shifts in mindset and behavior lead to profound long-term change.If you’re ready to take control of your health and embrace a more intuitive, empowering approach to food and self-care, you don’t want to miss this conversation.Follow @drdrtandacook and @drkatiecollier on Instagram for more insights, access to free masterclasses on hormones, weight loss, and more. Visit drtandacook.com for additional resources and upcoming events, including details on their Cancer Summit in June.#WeGotThis #BetterTogether #LyfeReinvented #Health #NaturopathicMedicine #HealingFromWithin #HolisticHealth #MindBodyConnection

    Ep. 78 - Defying Diagnosis: Taking Back Your Health and Reclaiming Your Life, with Samantha Sharifi

    At just 20 years old, college tennis player Samantha Sharifi’s life was turned upside down when she became paralyzed from head to toe almost overnight. Weeks of fear and uncertainty followed as doctors struggled to find answers. Eventually, she was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis, an autoimmune neuromuscular disorder characterized by weakness and rapid fatigue of the voluntary muscles. Doctors warned she might never play tennis again, would be handicapped, and would need lifelong medication to manage the condition. But Samantha refused to accept this as her story. In this episode, she shares her incredible journey to full remission by understanding the profound connection between nutrition, mindset, and healing. She explains how listening to the body’s “language” and addressing root causes—physical, emotional, and spiritual—can transform our health. Join us as we discuss: Why a medical diagnosis shouldn’t define you. The link between unresolved trauma and autoimmune disorders. How shame and emotional blocks can impact physical health. The role of the central nervous system in overall well-being. The importance of food as medicine and nutrients, the importance of quality food and sourcing, and the power of a plant based diet.  How personal research and self-awareness empower us to take responsibility for our well-being, challenge traditional health narratives, and actively participate in our recovery.  If you’ve ever felt trapped by a diagnosis or wondered if there’s more to healing than medications and symptom management, this episode will inspire you to take a deeper look at your health and discover the power of your own body’s wisdom.

    Approximately 700,000 people die by suicide worldwide each year, according to the World Health Organization, making suicide one of the leading causes of death globally, especially among the younger age groups.    In this week’s deeply moving episode, we honor Suicide Awareness Prevention Month with a conversation that resonates at the core of our shared humanity.

Boys, especially those aged 15-19, are at a significantly higher risk of suicide than girls. In the U.S., boys represent about 78% of adolescent suicides. Increased mental health challenges during COVID-19: The pandemic exacerbated isolation, anxiety, depression, and family stress, all risk factors for suicide. For teens, disruptions to routines, schooling, and social lives were particularly harmful. Rise in suicide attempts and hospitalizations:  In 2020, there was a reported 31% increase in mental health emergency room visits for adolescents (ages 12-17), compared to 2019. Teens with high-functioning autism are at higher risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors.

    Ep. 74 - The Transformative World of Reiki with Lindsey Harper

    In this week’s episode, we step into the transformative world of Reiki - where ancient wisdom meets modern healing. Reiki is made up of two Japanese words. Rei, which means “Higher Power” and Ki, which is “energy.” When combined, Reiki translates to Universal energy, life force energy, or Divine energy (whichever resonates with you). My special guest, Lindsey Harper, brings a unique blend of academic rigor and spiritual insight to the table. As an Assistant Professor at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia, with a Master's degree in Psychology and a Graduate certificate in Behavioral Statistics, Lindsey is no stranger to the complexities of the human mind. And her journey doesn’t stop there. As a Reiki Master and the Founder of "Open Your Eyes Reiki," Lindsey is on a mission to elevate collective consciousness and shift energy in powerful, positive ways. During a spiritual awakening, Lindsey discovered Reiki, and although she never intended to become a practitioner, after seeing how much her own daily practice transformed her as a person (made her happier, more relaxed, less anxious, less stressed, more content, and filled with so much peace), she couldn’t not share this energy with others. In today’s conversation, we unravel Reiki’s core principles that focus on the flow of life force energy and Lindsey explains how this gentle yet profound energy work can help remove blockages, restore balance, and promote emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Whether you’re new to Reiki or a seasoned energy practitioner, this episode is full of insights that will leave you feeling curious, inspired, and empowered to explore your own healing potential. So if you’re ready to learn how Reiki can help you reconnect with your inner self, harness the power of your energy, and embark on a journey towards holistic healing and balance, this episode is for you.

    Ep. 70 - In Memory Of My Soul Dog: Love, Loss, and Lessons

    I lost my Soul Dog, Fergie, on June 26th, and the waves of grief and unfamiliar emotions had an impact on me that is hard to put into words.    Fergie was my first soul dog, and if you haven’t had a soul dog before, here’s how I would describe it:   A dog with whom we share a deep, profound, and spiritual connection. This bond goes beyond the normal pet-owner relationship, it’s a dog that is a soulmate in animal form. A soul dog has a significant impact on our life, providing unconditional love, support, and unique companionship. They teach important life lessons and leave a forever imprint on our heart, making their loss incredibly impactful and intensely felt.   In this deeply personal and heartfelt episode, I honor the life and legacy of Fergie.  She was a devoted companion whose presence taught me the true meaning of unconditional love and the profound depths of loss. She was a rescue (from a 3 day kill shelter) who transformed my life, showing me how to be present in every moment and navigate the overwhelming grief that follows the loss of a beloved soul sidekick who was by my side 24/7.   Join me as I share the beautiful love that emerged from her passing, a testament to the bond we shared and the indelible mark she left on my heart.

    Ep. 69 - Finding Courage:  A Journey From Adversity to Personal Accountability and Empowerment, with Laban Ditchburn

    Fun fact:  Hitting rock bottom doesn’t physically hurt. Not so fun fact:  Emotional, spiritual, and mental rock bottom sucks.   Courage is the ability to confront fear, pain, danger, uncertainty, or intimidation. It's considered one of the core virtues in positive psychology and we need it for personal growth and resilience.   If you or someone you know has struggled with letting drugs, gambling, drinking, sex, negative self-talk, and/or limiting self-belief rule their life, you’ll want to listen and learn from today’s exceptional guest, Aussie/New Zealander Laban Ditchburn, an author, podcaster, and “World’s Best Courage Coach".     Laban’s journey to becoming the "World's Best Courage Coach" was born out of his own personal pain and struggles.    In the depths of his gambling and substance addiction, he found himself at rock bottom. His life was spiraling out of control, and every day felt like a battle he was losing. One evening, after a particularly devastating loss at the casino and a night of heavy substance abuse, he looked in the mirror and saw a person he no longer recognized. It was in that moment of despair that he realized he had to change or lose everything.   A decision to reclaim your life is not easy. It requires immense courage to face your demons head-on. Laban sought help and joined support groups, where he met others who were fighting their own battles. Their stories of struggle and resilience fueled his determination to overcome his addictions.   Confront your fears, take control of your life.    Laban now teaches others how to take bold, massive, and courageous actions to facilitate their own miraculous outcomes. Be unstoppable in getting to where you want to be!   Your journey to courage begins with a single, bold step. And whether you’re battling personal demons, or simply looking for a life filled with more passion and purpose, this episode is full of hard earned wisdom and simple action items.    You can connect with this week’s guest via his website - labanditchburn.com   BONUS:  If Laban’s story resonated with you, he generously offered a complimentary transformational session to explore if working together in some future capacity makes sense.  Link below to schedule!    https://calendly.com/labanmditchburn/discovery-call-together?back=1&month=2024-07   #BetterTogether #WeGotThis #LyfeReinvented #Courage

    Ep. 68 - Taking Control of Your Stress Response, with Jeff Benton

    When we feel stressed, we limit key parts of the brain from functioning properly. In particular, the frontal cortex, which is the smart thinking part of our brain. We become limited in our problem solving skills, communication, and ability to empathize and see others’ perspectives. That’s why I was excited to banter today with Jeff Benton, a Master HeartMath Trainer, and the CEO/Founder of Paragon Performance Evolution. Paragon creates and implements leadership, high-performance, stress management and resiliency programs for individuals and organizations around the world.     Jeff's unique background combines ancient wisdom from spiritual masters with cutting-edge technology from brain scientists, giving him profound insights into stress management. In this episode, we dive deep into the heart’s electromagnetic field and explore how to take control of your stress response. By understanding and practicing heart-brain coherence, we can optimize brain functions and enhance our overall physiology, leading to greater clarity, joy, gratitude, and deeper, more meaningful relationships. Who wouldn’t want that? Plus, Jeff’s practical techniques can be implemented by anyone immediately!   If you’d like the 6 minute coherence technique recording, email Jeff ([email protected]) or me ([email protected]).     You can connect with this week’s guest via his website - performanceparagon.com, on IG at jeffrey_benton_paragon or LinkedIn at Jeffrey Robert Benton.    #BetterTogether #WeGotThis #LyfeReinvented #HeartBrainCoherence #LessStress

By gaining clarity on what truly matters, we allow more flow in our life. Join me as I offer tips and pose questions designed to help you increase your self-awareness and improve how you show up for yourself and others during both good and challenging times.

    Ep. 60 - The Power of the Solar Eclipse

    Solar eclipses are often seen as potent times for transformation, renewal, and inner growth. They symbolize the merging of light and dark, offering opportunities for introspection and releasing old patterns to make way for new beginnings. During the solar eclipse on April 8th, there will be a heightened sense of energy and intensity. Many believe the alignment of celestial bodies during an eclipse opens portals for spiritual growth and manifestation. To talk about that and more, I’m joined again this week by the remarkably insightful Gerard Duffy. With a solid foundation in physics from the University of Liverpool, England, and years dedicated to exploring the realms of metaphysics, Gerard brings a unique perspective to the table. We discuss the personal power that comes with setting intentions, meditation, and connecting with higher consciousness at this time. Astrologically, the energy of the planet during a solar eclipse is influenced by the zodiac sign in which the eclipse occurs (Aries currently) and any aspects it makes with other planets. This energy can vary greatly, yet it often signifies significant shifts and changes in individual and collective consciousness.    If you’re ready to tap into your inner wisdom, embrace transformation, and align with the energies of the universe for personal and spiritual growth, this episode is for you!   You can connect with this week's guest via email at [email protected].   #BetterTogether #WeGotThis #LyfeReinvented #ScienceAndSpirituality #SolarEclipse #April8

    Have you ever experienced a spiritual awakening, or are you currently navigating through one? What the heck does that even entail? Dive deep into these questions and more in our latest episode, where the remarkably insightful Gerard Duffy joins us. With a solid foundation in physics from the University of Liverpool, England, and years dedicated to exploring the realms of metaphysics, Gerard brings a unique perspective to the table. Together, we unravel the complexities of energy, physics, the transformative phases of Dark Nights of the Soul, and the seismic shifts occurring as our world transitions from old paradigms to new, often sparking both conflict and profound change.   Spiritual awakenings can emerge from a myriad of life events, personal challenges, or even just spontaneously, propelling us into a whirlwind of self-questioning, belief reassessment, and a reevaluation of reality itself. This journey of transformation invites us to confront our inner shadows, which can pave the way to elevated consciousness, empathy, inner peace, and a profound connection with all forms of life.

    Frenzy. Feeling overwhelmed. Many people struggle with overworking, exhaustion, and lack of fulfillment. Unfortunately, depression, anxiety, and isolation can be common.

Fueled by her own heartbreak of cancer and subsequent divorce, she chose to forge her own personal transformation, and is now dedicated to helping others find their new path towards personal and professional happiness.

    The quality of our life is in direct proportion to the quality of our questions. As we close out 2023, this short solo episode provides a few simple yet powerful questions to ponder as we step into a brand new year full of possibilities!    Similar to the questions I have clients ask themselves after a date, these questions are designed to fuel self-reflection, honesty, and put perspective around both our lessons and achievements!    What was great about the year?  (Both big and small. Pull that energy back into your heart!)    What did I learn about myself? (What work did I intentionally, or unintentionally, do that resulted in personal growth? Take pride in that as it’s never easy!)    Who did I learn from this year? (Thank them for contributing to your expanding wisdom!)    Where could I improve? Did I ask for feedback from people I respect?     Who do I feel good being around? (Spend more time with them!)    Did I surround myself with others who lifted me up, helped me grow, and inspired me to be my best self? And did I do that for others?   What sadness or anger did I/can I let go of?  (This can be a challenging question to answer, yet very much worth the effort. Every baby step counts!)    When we quiet both the internal and external noise, we allow our inner wisdom to guide us to our own personal truths, and life becomes even lighter and brighter.  What’s next is better!    Wishing everyone a beautiful, happy, healthy, growth and LOVE filled New Year!    #LyfeReinvented #BetterTogether #WeGotThis #HappyNewYear #ReflectionQuestions

    Ep. 47 - HOLISTIC HEALTH: Mind, Body, Heart, and Soul with Sherrie Carnicle

    When you think of being HEALTHY, what comes to mind?  Although many of us focus on our health when we are physically challenged, it’s important to remember that total health is much more than just physical.  It’s also the entirety of how the mind, body, heart and soul interconnect to help us achieve balance and harmony.

Her expertise encompasses personal training, nutritional counseling, mindset coaching, nervous system balancing, mind, body, soul integration, and spiritual awakening guidance, including breaking cycles of codependency, and healing family and generational trauma.

    The Quality Of Our Life Is Determined By The Quality Of Our Questions.   QUESTIONS to ask yourself:    Are you where you thought you’d be at this point in life?   Are you the person you hoped you’d be by now?   If you are at a place in life you hate, how long do you want to stay there?     We explore these powerful questions and more in today’s thought provoking and inspiring episode with Dr. Teri DeLucca.    With dual PhDs, Teri is a Developmental and Educational Psychologist and her work centers around helping people find and lean into their purpose through developing self leadership skills. She is the CEO and Founder of Impact Early Education, is a nationally sought-after speaker on the topics of leadership and company culture, and she’s passionate about inspiring other female entrepreneurs.    Life’s challenges come in infinite forms:  Bad relationships, feeling stuck in unfulfilling jobs or careers, financial struggles, and more. And while we all have the ability to overcome life’s challenges, some of us find it easier to be brave and bold and make changes, yet for others it feels impossible. We discuss resilience, pushing through fear, focusing on self awareness, and asking yourself “What do I need to do differently this time?”   If you are ready to feel empowered, begin taking steps to reinvent your life, and believe that you deserve a NEW CHAPTER, this episode is for you!     You can connect with this week’s guest via her website at impactearlyed.com or LinkedIn at Teri DeLucca, Ph.D.   #BetterTogether #WeGotThis #LyfeReinvented #Transformation #SelfAwareness #MindsetMatters #WhatsNextIsBetter

    Ep. 38 - The Ripple Effect of Someone’s Belief in You

    Has life ever thrown you a change so unexpected you don’t even know how to take a simple step forward? At times the struggle that comes with personal evolution can feel overwhelming. This week we discuss the growth that’s on the other side of facing our pain, and how one person’s belief in us can make all the difference in the world. This show may be a bit heavier than some of the other episodes as our guest today, Carissa Acosta, is the Assistant and Right-Hand Person to Jessie Lee Ward, an Entrepreneurial Legend who recently transitioned back into the spirit world.  Carissa, a single mom who struggled with chronic anxiety and depression, shares her heart, her journey, and how one person, Jessie Lee, helped her believe in herself and evolve to a level she had never even imagined. (Carissa and I both believe JL was with us during this show to continue inspiring others like she always did.)  This episode is a beautiful reminder of the human spirit and how even in the face of loss, love remains.          You can connect with this week’s guest via IG at carissalovesu.    #BetterTogether #WeGotThis #LyfeReinvented #MakeADifference #ChooseLove
