In this insightful conversation, our guest Megan Hellerer — former Google executive, executive coach, and author —shares the emotional reality behind high achievement, burnout, identity loss, and the search for a more meaningful life. Megan shares the story of leaving Google without a plan and explains how that difficult transition ultimately led her to create a new framework for navigating life through curiosity, alignment, and what she calls “directional living.” Hence the name of her new book… Directional Living: A Transformational Guide to Fulfillment in Work and Life. If you’ve ever questioned your career path, struggled with uncertainty, or felt disconnected despite outward success, this episode offers both reassurance and practical guidance for finding your way back to yourself.

Alternative Healing: Energy Medicine, Trapped Emotions and The Subconscious Mind. With Dr. Bradley Nelson 24.05.2026 40min

In this episode, I sit down with holistic chiropractor, Dr. Bradley Nelson to explore the connection between trapped emotions, chronic healing and what he refers to as subconscious healing and the energetic intelligence of the body. He shares his own personal healing story that inspired his interest in energy healing, and then dives into the philosophy behind his books, the Emotion Code, The Body Code and the Heart Code. His belief is that unresolved emotional energy can wreak havoc on our bodies…causing what he believes are heart walls that block love and connection. This one is for you if you believe in the power of prayer and your subconscious mind. It may be controversial for some…but see what you think. He unpacks how subconscious patterns may influence healing, why symptoms can be messages instead of problems to suppress, and how practices like kinesiology, energy medicine, and emotional release try to help people reconnect with their bodies’ innate wisdom.

Why Forgiveness is an Act of Self Compassion. With Diana Winston 21.04.2026 43min

Today’s encore episode is with Diana Winston, the Director of UCLA Mindful, Keynote Speaker, Consultant and Author of The Little Book of Being: Practices and Guidance for Uncovering your Natural Awareness. In this interview, we talk about the importance of forgiveness in our lives and why carrying our anger or resentment around with us is like carrying hot coal. Dropping the hot coal gives us more freedom, openness, and joy. It doesn’t mean we have to condone or forget, but it is truly an act of self-compassion. The practices she shares are both practical and powerful. The first step, she says, is to have the willingness to even start working on forgiveness — whether it’s forgiving another person, asking another person to forgive you OR forgiving yourself. None of this is easybut it can make a big difference in our own health and ease. Letting go of these difficult feelings is a great way to shift your mindset and build your capacity to focus on the things that really matter.
