In this deeply reflective episode of The School of Heritage, I sit down with Andreea Lupulescu, a Family Constellations facilitator who helps people uncover the hidden emotional patterns passed down through generations. Together, we explore how trauma, grief, shame, and unspoken family stories can quietly shape our emotions, behaviors, and sense of self—often without us realizing where they began.
Andreea shares insights on how to recognize inherited wounds versus personal experiences, why certain emotional blocks may not actually be “yours,” and how awareness becomes the first step toward healing. We discuss the power of compassion, curiosity, and conscious healing in breaking cycles that no longer serve us.
This episode is an invitation to gently look beneath the surface, honor what came before, and reclaim your freedom by understanding that some of what you carry did not start with you—and does not have to continue with you.

In this compassionate and practical episode of The School of Heritage, I sit down with Paul Parry, a writer and sub-editor and often works at major international sports events, to explore why so many of us get trapped in cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, and harsh self-criticism—and how we can gently find our way out.
Paul shares a refreshingly kind approach to understanding the mind, helping listeners recognize that overthinking isn’t a personal failure, but a learned pattern that can be softened with awareness and self-compassion. Together, we discuss simple tools for interrupting spiraling thoughts, creating inner calm, and building a healthier relationship with yourself—without pressure or perfection.
This episode is an invitation to step out of your head and back into your life, reminding you that clarity doesn’t come from thinking harder, but from learning to treat yourself with patience, curiosity, and care.

In this deeply moving episode of The School of Heritage, I’m joined by Debra Hall, a poet from Racine whose words gently explore love, loss, caregiving, and the quiet courage it takes to let go. Through poetry, Debra gives voice to emotions many of us feel but struggle to express—grief, devotion, exhaustion, gratitude, and enduring love.
We talk about how poetry becomes a vessel for processing life’s most intimate moments, especially in seasons of caregiving and transition. Debra shares how writing can hold space for tenderness without denying pain, and how art allows us to honor both what we are losing and what still remains.
This episode is an invitation to slow down, feel deeply, and remember that even in the act of letting go, love continues to speak—softly, honestly, and beautifully.

In this reflective and empowering episode of The School of Heritage, I’m joined by Lynda Leonce, Conscious Life & Parenting Coach, to explore what it truly means to create a life that feels authentic, grounded, and deeply your own.
Together, we unpack the subtle ways misalignment shows up in our daily lives—through burnout, people-pleasing, or living according to expectations that no longer fit. Lynda shares practical insights on reconnecting with your inner truth, listening to the wisdom of your body, and making choices that honor who you are becoming—not who you were told to be.
We discuss alignment across key areas of life, including habits, relationships, work, and self-connection, and why small, conscious shifts can lead to profound transformation over time.
This episode is an invitation to slow down, tune inward, and begin living from a place of clarity, integrity, and self-trust—so your life doesn’t just look good on the outside, but truly feels right on the inside.

Together, we explore how learning to pause—rather than react—can completely transform the decisions we make during times of stress, conflict, and pressure.
Heather shares practical tools rooted in mindfulness and intentional breathing that create space between trigger and response. We discuss how these simple yet powerful practices support emotional regulation, reduce overwhelm, and help women make calmer, wiser choices—especially during legal, financial, or deeply personal challenges.
This episode is a reminder that power doesn’t always come from action. Sometimes, it comes from stillness—the pause that allows us to respond from clarity instead of fear, and from wisdom instead of impulse.

In this faith-centered and reflective episode of The School of Heritage, I sit down with David Garpstas to explore what it truly means to become who God created you to be. In a world driven by comparison, performance, and external validation, David invites us back to a deeper foundation—identity rooted in Christ.
Together, we discuss how understanding our God-given identity shapes confidence, peace, and resilience, and why living from calling rather than comparison leads to a more grounded and purposeful life. David also shares insights on leadership that flows from humility, service, and spiritual maturity—leadership that reflects faith in action, not ego in control.
This episode is an encouragement to stop striving for approval and start living from assurance—anchored in who you are, why you’re called, and who you’re becoming in Christ.

In this empowering episode of The School of Heritage, I’m joined by Andi O’Connor, a Nutrition/Gut Health Coach and Personal Trainer dedicated to helping women over 40 reconnect with their bodies through nourishment, strength, and sustainable care. Together, we explore why the fitness and nutrition advice designed for younger bodies often falls short—and how midlife calls for a more compassionate, science-informed approach.
Andi breaks down how hormones, metabolism, and energy naturally shift with age, and why learning to work with your body—not against it—is the key to long-term vitality. We also discuss releasing diet culture, embracing strength over restriction, and redefining health as longevity, balance, and self-respect rather than punishment or perfection.
This episode is an invitation for women to feel empowered, informed, and confident in their bodies again—proving that thriving after 40 isn’t about doing more, but about doing what truly supports you.

Together, we discuss simple micro-practices that help move the body out of stress mode, restore emotional balance, and bring clarity in the midst of busy schedules. Alicia shares how morning and evening rituals—when done consistently—can ground the mind, steady emotions, and build a deep sense of inner safety over time.
Rather than chasing drastic change, this conversation highlights the beauty of small, repeatable actions and how they quietly transform our well-being, resilience, and sense of empowerment.
This episode is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and discover how calm isn’t something you wait for—it’s something you practice, one ritual at a time.

Together, we explore how personal clarity, emotional maturity, and genuine self-awareness are not just “nice to have”—they’re the foundation of healthy, high-performing teams.
Nate shares how leaders who do their own inner work naturally create cultures of trust, psychological safety, and collaboration. We talk about what it really means to thrive together at work, why titles don’t make a leader, and how every person—regardless of role—can influence the emotional health of a team through small, intentional actions.

Together, we explore what happens when the roles we’ve lived in for years shift—when children leave home, when caregiving ends, or when identity begins to feel more like a memory than a current reality.
Kelly shares compassionate insights on healing the grief that can come with change, letting go of self-sacrifice as a lifestyle, and moving beyond the question “What do they need?” to “Who am I becoming now?” Through vulnerability, strength, and practical self-discovery tools, she shows how emotional wellness and confidence can flourish again.

In this tender and insightful episode of The School of Heritage, I sit down with Sylvia Wolfer a grief guide, mindfulness practitioner, and movement teacher where we explore the profound wisdom of our physical selves.

But here’s the beautiful part: if our bodies can hold grief, they can also help us release it. We’ll talk about the incredible connection between gentle movement, nervous system regulation, and that deep, cathartic sigh of emotional release. This is about learning to listen to the stories our bodies are whispering, and finally giving them the compassion and space they need to be heard.
