We dig into the subtle ways fear shows up—people pleasing, endless planning, changing prices, doomscrolling—and how those patterns tax your health, stall your work, and strain your relationships.

Lisa breaks down the difference betw...
Send us a text Emotions don’t disappear when we ignore them—they take up residence in the body and start running the show. We dig into how suppressed feelings become physical symptoms, why the nervous system can’t tell the difference between a memory and a moment, and how traditional Chinese medicine maps specific emotions to organs like the liver, lungs, kidneys, and spleen. Along the way, we share a powerful remission story that links chronic anger with autoimmune hepatitis and the multi-pr...

Send us a text What if your day isn’t shaped by what happens, but by the meaning you give it? We dive into the hidden power of interpretations (the fast stories your brain writes about a text, a comment, a delay)m and how those stories quietly drive your mood, your relationships, and even your physical health. We unpack why every event is neutral until you add a narrative, and how your nervous system responds to those narratives as if they’re real threats or safe signals. From social media m...
Send us a text Hard moments don’t feel like presents, but what if the real gift is who we become after them?

From a cross-country move that only made sense in hindsight to a tech platform decision that turned into a bottleneck, we break down why outside advice is useful but never a substitute for your inner authority.
