Conflict in relationships doesn’t have to be a bad thing! Dr. Widian Nicola and Lauren Abrams take a fresh look at conflict resolution.

You can strengthen your connections and create deeper, lasting bonds by embracing and addressing these moments with understanding and openness.
“Everything about being free is to be yourself in this world—authentic, genuine, broken, wounded, you know, like crazy, you know, like all the things that make us fully alive and fully human.”– Dr. Nicola, (31:37)

Learn how to pause, breathe, and discover that you already have the answers within you.
Whether you're seeking a burst of motivation, strategies to reset your life, or simply a reason to smile again, this episode offers practical guidance to inspire your path forward. Lauren's personal journey from a dark night of the soul to a beacon of hope will resonate deeply with anyone seeking more meaning and joy in their lives.
Discover techniques for self-reflection and mindfulness that can reveal your true path.
The transformative power of self-compassion and the art of staying true to yourself and living a life that's aligned with your own values and dreams, not someone else’s expectations.
How small acts of kindness and being of service can dramatically increase your happiness and sense of purpose.
These lessons offer a comprehensive roadmap for personal growth and authentic living, from discovering your innate wisdom and forming meaningful friendships to staying true to yourself and embracing life as it happens. You’ll explore the power of service, the necessity of community, and, above all, the essential role of love in your life.
Stay tuned if you're prepared to take a deep breath, stop, and discover the solutions on your own. This episode will give you all the knowledge you need to lead a happier, more genuine life. It's time to move beyond the superficial and embrace the profound, living each day with hope and authenticity.
Tune in, learn to remove societal expectations, and embrace your unique calling.
"What lights you up? Not what do other people expect of you. What lights you up? What makes you happy? What brings you meaning?" - Lauren (09:55).
Lauren passionately highlights the significance of self-fulfillment through a thought-provoking question: “What lights you up?” Forget about societal pressures and live on your own terms.
By embracing the things that genuinely bring you happiness and a sense of purpose, you can liberate yourself from external demands and create a life that reflects your authentic self.
"If you're somebody who doesn't wanna start until you could do it perfect, just know you could never do anything perfectly. It's a fact of nature that you can't. And so just do it. Like, this is your time right now." - Lauren (13:32).
When you stop trying to be perfect, you can enjoy the moment and make real progress toward your dreams. It's okay to make mistakes and learn from them.
This change in thinking can make you less stressed and anxious, and also help you be more creative. Embracing imperfection can give you the courage to take big steps, learn from your experiences, and ultimately lead a more fulfilling and successful life.
"Wishing you live a life true to yourself instead of the life others expected of you, wishing you didn't work so hard. Nobody ever died. I mean, nobody on their deathbed ever wished they worked harder or made more money. Can't take it with you." - Lauren (19:47)
Reflecting on the most significant regrets people have on their deathbed, Lauren underscores the vital significance of living a life that aligns with their true selves rather than being shaped by others' expectations. Prioritizing personal fulfillment, relationships, and experiences can lead to a more meaningful and gratifying life.
Join us in beginning your journey toward a life filled with hope, genuineness, and authentic self-expression.

Uncover techniques for managing emotional triggers and practicing self-compassion to release stored emotional pain.
“When we have these triggers happen, the tendency is to tense up either our physical bodies or just our energetic body. And usually, you can feel somewhere in your physical body got tense, whether your brow is furrowed or your shoulders. So then it's just relaxing your whole physical body when you have the ability to do this in the moment.” - Lisa (10:07)
Discover from Lisa how adding mindfulness and meditation into your everyday routine can help you see things differently and experience general emotional development.
“It's giving yourself compassion around your anxiety. We compound everything. We feel anxiety, and then we get mad at ourselves for feeling anxiety, or we feel, you know, like annoyed or stressed. And then it's like, what do you have to be stressed about? You should be so good. You know, it's like we compound it by judging ourselves for our negative emotions.” - Lisa (13:19)

The Path to True Happiness: "We have to learn how to have the peace, the joy, the calm in our inner landscape, and then that energy goes out and so effortlessly starts changing everything in our external landscape." - Lisa (16:50)
One of the standout segments in this episode is Lisa’s advice on discerning between conditioned wants and what your soul truly desires. This guidance is a game-changer for anyone feeling unfulfilled, despite ticking off all the metaphorical boxes of success. Lisa passionately emphasizes aligning your actions with what genuinely brings you fulfillment.
“It's really just, again, getting some discernment between the voices in our head like that super loud voice of our inner critic and that ticker tape that's constantly going by. We have to be able to quiet that to hear the little bit more sensitive, delicate voice behind it.” - Lisa (20:30)
Learn self-compassion techniques. Be gentle with yourself. Recognize and release negative thoughts, and practice self-compassion to overcome past conditioning and emotional pain.
“Hear the voice in your head, take some distance to, to watch the thoughts that are going by. We bring so much additional interior muck into our worlds with that voice in our heads, which goes on to create all these problems that we have out here. The whole game of whack a mole could basically be avoided if we would learn to be more compassionate with ourselves and not let our thoughts take us down all these dark roads.” - Lisa (27:55)

"And I was just going through a lot of grieving and somehow, like, processing all those really heavy emotions just shed so much energetic density from my body that I opened myself up to all these psychic and intuitive gifts that I had no idea that I had." – Kelsey, (2:17).
“I basically just made an ultimatum with the universe, and I was like, God, universe, whoever is out there, what’s a girl gotta do to get help?” – Kelsey, (4:09).
Reignite your passions as Kelsey teaches powerful self-compassion techniques, providing a unique perspective on manifesting for your highest good.
"So every emotion, no matter how icky or heavy it feels, has a positive message for you. But you can only access that if you're willing to go there, which is uncomfortable." – Kelsey, (16:00).
Get inspired as Kelsey shares her approach to mindfulness, gratitude, and finding the courage to pursue your dreams.
“If I can get myself out of a suicidal state, then anything is possible with this information, and it needs to be more accessible.” – Kelsey, (5:34).
With Kelsey's refreshing insights and empowering vision, you're in for an episode that will leave you feeling reinvigorated, hopeful, and ready to embrace your best self.
"So, yeah, those were the two biggest moments that shaped me into the teacher, writer, and author that I am. And it shows that, like, your best manifestations always start in contrast. Because when you're experiencing that thing that's so uncomfortable that you hate, it's giving you so much clarity, and it's shaping you into the person who can have the thing that you're asking for. There's beauty in it even though it definitely sucks when you're going through it." – Kelsey, - (13:05).
“The best place to start is “I am” affirmations. I think those are very powerful and simple.” – Kelsey, - (7:04).
Get dialed in, focused, and ready to listen to Kelsey and her incredibly inspiring journey as she gives you simple yet powerful tools to set you on a path toward renewed success and happiness!
"Not in the same way where you go to therapy and they try to fix you or diagnose you or make you feel better, but it was more just like, okay, we're just gonna be curious about this feeling. We're gonna let it happen in the body. We're gonna observe it just from the compassionate witness standpoint. We're not gonna get lost in it. We're just gonna watch it happen in the body and see what comes from that." – Kelsey, (14:50).
“Your best manifestations always start in the contrast.” - Kelsey, (13:14).
