Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP325: Why women who pursue financial abundance can take or leave alcohol with Mystic Millionaire Danielle Amos
Q: What is the core shift someone can make to start seeing money and alcohol differently?
Shift from viewing money as scarce to treating money as energy and investment; reframe every purchase as an investment in your well-being and potential, which changes how you experience and steward resources.
EP325: Why women who pursue financial abundance can take or leave alcohol with Mystic Millionaire Danielle Amos
Q: Can you talk about the bridge between external actions and manifestation, and how practical steps fit with belief?
Belief must precede action; while practical steps matter, they work best when your subconscious programming aligns with the goals, so intuitive, inspired actions often follow from a changed inner state rather than brute force execution.

Q: How do we manage emotional regulation and integrity without self-abandoning?
Dr. Hanson emphasizes the importance of acknowledging emotions and not just moving from meeting to meeting without feeling.
EP317 Why talk therapy isn't enough to change your drinking with Dr. Amanda Hanson
Q: What does self-care look like versus soul care?
Soul care is more about attuning to one's emotional landscape rather than engaging in commodified self-care practices.
EP317 Why talk therapy isn't enough to change your drinking with Dr. Amanda Hanson
Q: So can you talk about what's missing with talk therapy?
Dr. Hanson explains that while awareness is important, it's not enough on its own to create change; women need to process emotions somatically.
