  • Teresa Palmer

    Such an interesting interview with Teresa. Would have been better if Lael didn’t keep interjecting with her own story as it detracted from the interview.

  • Conversations that stay with you

    This podcast makes me reflect on how I show up in the world, my values and the human experience.

    I love the way Lael explores themes with her guests that we all experience. The conversations are deep but have a beautiful sense of lightness too.

    Definitely what we need more of in the world.

  • Thank you!!!!

    Lael, this podcast is a blessing I didn’t know I needed.

    I too have turned 50 and your stories are so relatable. Your guests are honest and venerable. The space you hold for people allows emotions to be raw and true.

    You are a gift. Thank you.

  • Just won’t make it about herself

    Listened to the dr Garvey episode and he barely spoke. It was all about her and her family and her philosophy- just be quiet and allow your guests to speak

  • Amazing

    Lael is the most powerful interviewer. Her voice is angelic and she never cuts the speaker off. I love her patience, insights and calmness. Interviewees are incredible so far. I could listen to these all day on repeat. Can’t wait for more episodes!

Luke Bateman, being. with Lael Stone | The Book He Kept Hidden ♥︎
Q: What imprints do you hope your children carry forward from your life and work?
Bateman emphasizes imperfect humanity, open communication, and the example of authenticity; he hopes his kids see that it's okay to be fallible and to own one's journey, while striving to be compassionate and responsible.
Teresa Palmer, being. with Lael Stone | Born for the Role ♥︎
Q: Has your journey in birth and motherhood influenced your acting or creative work, and if so, how?
She notes a strong parallel between surrender in birth and being present in acting, with preparation giving way to in-the-moment authenticity, which she sees as a core part of her craft.
Amantha Imber, being. with Lael Stone | How we A.I. ♥︎
Q: What were the biggest shifts you implemented to move the needle on energy and burnout?
She describes adopting a scientist's mindset, running short, repeatable interventions, and focusing on boosts, rest, and protect strategies to plug energy leaks. This approach led to a notable cultural shift in her company and fueled the development of her energy-focused framework.
Amantha Imber, being. with Lael Stone | How we A.I. ♥︎
Q: So tell me a bit more about what you experienced during 2024 burnout and how you began to recover.
Amantha explains that burnout emerged after a period of rapid change and stress in her business, prompting her to take leave, reflect, and turn to research. She used small, structured experiments—like short walks, rest strategies, and energy-boosting routines—to gradually rebuild energy and, ultimately, inform her book The Energy Game.
