The World Needs Your Medicine

What happens when the business you built no longer matches the person you're becoming? What if growth stopped being about hitting the next milestone, and started being about how nourished you actually feel?That's where I've been lately. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what's really happening behind the scenes of my entrepreneurial journey - the pivot energy, the questioning, the seasons of confidence and doubt, and the deep recalibration that's been asking for my attention.After a decade of building, launching, and scaling, I've entered a season that looks very different from the one before it. I'm sharing honestly about what it's like to burn down infrastructure that's already working, in order to build something that actually feels good - and how I'm learning to trust the process even when I can't see the whole picture.We explore the tension between cocooning and creating, the pressure to perform on social media, and why your challenges as an entrepreneur are actually a privilege when you hold them inside the bigger picture. I also get into how I've started designing my business around my 25-day hormone cycle instead of forcing myself into a rhythm that was never built for women.If you've been questioning your path, feeling the pull to slow down, or wondering if it's okay to redefine what success looks like for you right now - this episode is your permission slip.I also talk about:Redefining growth as rest, creativity, and nourishment instead of revenueThe real fear of pivoting when you already have something that worksTrusting your spiritual channel when you don't have all the answersWhy social media confusion is often a sign you're ready for deeper clarityDesigning your schedule around your hormone cycle as an entrepreneurEpisode-Related Resources:⁠Read the Lauren of Love blog post for this episode!⁠⁠Lauren of Love Resources: Join the Magic App with dozens of courses, resources, and a private community! ⁠⁠⁠https://laurenoflove.com/app⁠⁠⁠Freebies, courses, blog: ⁠⁠⁠laurenoflove.com⁠⁠⁠IG: ⁠⁠⁠@laurenoflove⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grab our free Manifestation Sheets!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our weekly Magic Notes insiders list!⁠

There's a moment many of us reach where we realize we've been abandoning ourselves in service to everyone else… and something deep inside finally says, enough.That's where this conversation begins.Today I'm joined by Erin Gallagher - author, CEO and Founder of HYPE WOMEN: a system-challenging sisterhood of women building collective wealth. Erin's inclusive ecosystem unlocks women's access to human, social, financial, political and spiritual capital. Karma is their currency. Hype is their constancy. Creator of the global Hype Women Movement, Erin is a speaker, mother, intersectional feminist, abortion beneficiary, yogi and witch. Before building this movement, she spent 15 years climbing the corporate ladder in marketing and PR - until she walked away from everything she thought she wanted and began the messy, beautiful process of rebuilding her life on her own terms.Erin and I dropped into a deep honest conversation about what it really costs to outgrow your old life - the relationships that fall away, the identity that has to die, and the grief that nobody talks about when they sell you on "growth." We explored what it looks like to stop performing, stop controlling, and finally let yourself be seen in the middle of the mess.One of the things that struck me most was this: so many of us are afraid to receive the very love and celebration we're starving for. We've been told lies about ourselves for so long that when someone finally sees us, we think they must be wrong.By the end of this episode, my hope is that you feel permission to stumble as you grow, and navigate your own transformation - publicly, imperfectly, and without apology.We also talk about:The moment Erin told her husband "I am not the woman you married - and I never will be again"How control disguised as protection actually blocks joy and connectionRenegotiating relationships as you evolveWhy some people prefer you struggling - and what to do about itThe lie women are told about martyrdom and doing it all aloneEpisode-Related Resources:Read the Lauren of Love blog post for this episode!⁠Listen to the referenced Episode for Amanda Bucci Listen to the referenced Episode for Kelly ChaseLauren of Love Resources: Join the Magic App with dozens of courses, resources, and a private community! ⁠⁠https://laurenoflove.com/app⁠⁠Freebies, courses, blog: ⁠⁠laurenoflove.com⁠⁠IG: ⁠⁠@laurenoflove⁠⁠⁠⁠Grab our free Manifestation Sheets!⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our weekly Magic Notes insiders list!⁠Guest Resources: Erin's Instagram: @erin.gallag.herErin's Book: Hype Women: Breaking Free From Mean Girls, Patriarchy, and Systems Silencing YouErin's Website: hypewomen.com

There's a place in the body most of us have been taught to ignore, manage, or disconnect from entirely. And yet - it holds our stories, our lineage, and our deepest capacity for healing and creation… the womb-space.Today I'm joined by Patricia Ode - an Alternative and Ancient Medicine Practitioner. Her work weaves ancient wisdom with deep body-based healing to help women come home to themselves, their wombs, and the truth their bodies have to say.Patricia and I dropped into an illuminating conversation about what womb work actually is (and why it applies to every woman), how chronic illness and autoimmune conditions are often the body's way of asking us to finally listen, and what it means to build safety inside your own body as the foundation for everything else.The medicine of this episode will help give you permission to slow down, listen to your body, and consider that womb-work might be a missing link in your healing journey. We also talk about:The connection between womb trauma, chronic illness, and ancestral lineageHow Patricia went from raw vegan cheesecakes to shamanic facilitationWhat it means to build a life and business from safety instead of hustleSexual trauma and how it lives in the body - even when we don't remember itThe moment Patricia stopped running and grounded into SedonaHow to know if womb work is calling youEpisode-Related Resources:⁠Read the Lauren of Love blog post for this episode!⁠Lauren of Love Resources:Join the Magic App with dozens of courses, resources, and a private community! ⁠https://laurenoflove.com/app⁠Freebies, courses, blog: ⁠laurenoflove.com⁠IG: ⁠@laurenoflove⁠⁠Grab our free Manifestation Sheets!⁠⁠Join our weekly Magic Notes insiders list!⁠Guest Resources:Work with Patricia: https://www.atherasacredarts.com/Patricia's Instagram: @_luminarywellness

In this live, unfiltered transmission, Lauren invites you into a deeply embodied conversation about leadership, entrepreneurship, and what it actually means to feel safe inside your own life and work.This episode is not about pushing harder, fixing yourself, or forcing clarity.It’s about remembering that your expansion is cyclical — not linear — and that returning to fear, doubt, or uncertainty doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re deepening.Inside this experience, Lauren explores the difference between being stuck in fear versus being in a true “winter” season, why your body holds the codes for wealth and creativity, and how disconnection from the body can quietly sabotage your business, voice, and sense of self-trust.You’ll hear reflections on embodied leadership, nervous system safety, feminine wisdom, boundaries, money, social media, creativity, and the myth that success must come at the expense of your wellbeing.This episode is especially for you if you:feel called to lead, teach, or create, but crave a more grounded wayfeel disconnected from your body, voice, or intuitionare tired of urgency, pressure, and performative spiritualitywant to build a business or life that honors your natural rhythmsknow you’re on the edge of something new, but don’t want to force itThis is an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with the version of you that already knows what to do — when she feels safe enough to hear herself.At the end of the episode, Lauren shares more about Mirror Mentorship, a six-month immersive container designed to support embodied spiritual leaders in cultivating self-trust, sovereignty, and sustainable success.Take what resonates. Leave the rest.And remember: one insight is enough to change everything.Lauren of Love Resources:The Mirror Mentorship: laurenoflove.com/mirrorJoin the Magic App: ⁠⁠laurenoflove.com/app⁠⁠Freebies, courses, blog: ⁠⁠laurenoflove.com⁠⁠IG: ⁠@laurenoflove,⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@theworldneedsyourmedicine⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grab our free Manifestation Sheets!⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our weekly Magic Notes insiders list!

There's a version of yourself you might be afraid to let people see. A spiritual side that feels too personal, vulnerable, or "out there" to share with those around you.So many of us are moving through a reclamation of this aspect of ourselves right now - finding our own connection to spirit outside of the structures we were raised in, and wondering how to hold that truth without hiding it or forcing it on others. If you've been tiptoeing between who you're becoming and who you used to be, this episode is for you.Today I'm opening up about my own journey of coming into right relationship with my spirituality - from growing up in a strict Roman Catholic household where the body was shameful and God was someone to fear, to finding spirit on a mountaintop in Sedona, to walking the path of plant medicine and earth-based healing.What I've learned is that coming out of the spiritual closet isn't a single moment of declaration... It's a layered process - one that asks us to reclaim our inner child's knowing, embrace the rebellious teenager within us, and slowly build the self-trust to stop seeking validation for experiences that are deeply, uniquely ours.I also talk about:Why spiritual expression feels so vulnerable (and where that fear really comes from)The childhood memories that shaped my connection to something greaterHow religious conditioning disconnects us from the body and the heartThe moment I found God on Cathedral Rock - and my dad's responseWhat happens when you start waking up but you're still in the same environmentThe two paths people take when spiritually awakening (hiding vs. over-identifying)Why compassion is the most important thing to wake up toHow plant medicine became part of my spiritual reclamationReleasing the codependent nature of our religious upbringingEpisode-Related Resources:Read the Lauren of Love blog post for this episode!Lauren of Love Resources:Join the Magic App with dozens of courses, resources, and a private community! https://laurenoflove.com/appFreebies, courses, blog: laurenoflove.comIG: @laurenofloveGrab our free Manifestation Sheets!Join our weekly Magic Notes insiders list!

Sometimes you realize the pace you’ve been moving just isn’t working anymore. Life gets full, your body feels it, and you know it’s time to slow down and check in... That’s where this episode began.Today I’m joined by Kris Yeo - a plus-size model, stepmom, business owner, and co-host of the “Blonde Highlights” podcast. She champions self-love, body acceptance, and helping women build the confidence to show up fully in their lives.Kris and I dropped into a really grounded conversation about the invisible weight women carry, the pressure to over-function, and the moment when your body deeply asks you to finally slow down... We explored what it looks like to build a business without losing yourself, how to navigate partnership under stress, and the deep recalibration that happens when you stop saying yes to everything.A big theme we kept circling back to was the turning point in a woman’s life - the moment she starts choosing herself again. The moment she realizes she can’t keep pushing past her limits, and she begins creating boundaries that actually support her well-being, her relationships, and her work.The medicine of this episode will help you feel seen in your own season of soul shifting and slowing down, and encourage you to walk away with self-gifted permission to honor your energy in entirely new ways.We also talk about: What it’s really like to build a business with your husband How to create boundaries with customers, clients, and expectations Why self-care doesn’t have to be complicated or performativeThe emotional weight women carry in entrepreneurship Returning to yourself after burnout or over-giving What confidence looks like when it’s built from the insideEpisode-related Links: Check out the Lauren of Love blog post for this episode!Lauren of Love Resources:Join the Magic App: ⁠laurenoflove.com/app⁠Freebies, courses, blog: ⁠laurenoflove.com⁠IG: @laurenoflove,⁠ ⁠⁠@theworldneedsyourmedicine⁠⁠⁠Grab our free Manifestation Sheets!⁠⁠Join our weekly Magic Notes insiders list!Guest Resources:IG: @krisyeoBlonde Highlights Podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/blonde-highlightsBrands Featured in our Launch Giveaway:Astro planner and journal from ⁠⁠@magic_of_i⁠⁠Mushroom support from ⁠⁠@goldenrulemushrooms⁠⁠Hair, longevity, and gut health by ⁠⁠@joiwomenswellness⁠⁠Dream support and self love candles ⁠⁠@animamundiherbals⁠⁠Ceremonial cacao from ⁠⁠@keithscacao⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠@cacaoceremony⁠⁠Spirit mamas oracle by ⁠⁠@victoriamargauxnielsen⁠⁠Chips by ⁠⁠@masa_chips⁠⁠Oils from ⁠⁠@vibrantblueoils⁠⁠Medicine from ⁠⁠@fourvisionstribe⁠⁠Supplement Gummies from ⁠⁠@curednutrition⁠⁠Hype Women by ⁠⁠@erin.gallag.her ⁠

Your voice was never meant to be perfect. It was meant to be a portal; for healing the emotions you've carried in silence, remembering the truth of who you are, and expressing your unique medicine.Today I'm joined by Dominique Zuniga - a world-renowned vocal artist and multi-instrumentalist. Born in the USA of Saudi Arabian and Mexican descent, she's known for her ethereal world music style and ethnic vocals. Officially signed with record label Cafe de Anatolia, her signature work is best presented in her cinematic world music album, IKALGI. She's traveled the world studying cultured music with African, Middle Eastern Sufi, and Classical Indian influences, and she combines these elements to create her own unique sound. Having received opera training at the age of 19 as a Mezzo Soprano, hitting soaring high notes is her pleasure. Dominique encourages people to connect with their voice through online seminars, ceremonies, and retreats throughout the world.Dominique and I dropped into a deeply honest conversation about her journey - from a childhood marked by abuse and foster homes, to the moment music became her lifeline, to the spiritual awakening that shifted everything about how she relates to her voice. We explored what it really means to sing from your authentic channel, the difference between performing and transmitting, and why so many of us are afraid to let ourselves be heard.One of the themes that kept circling back was this: our pure nature is as wild as birds and as unapologetic as the sea - but we've been so conditioned to believe otherwise. The journey of reclaiming your voice isn't about getting it right... It's about exploring every sound you can make; the ugly, the beautiful, the raw - and loving yourself there.Let this be your permission slip to stop performing and start expressing. To honor your full yes and your full no. And to remember that the world doesn't need the polished version of you - it needs your humanity... your medicine.We also talk about:How music became Dominique's anchor through childhood trauma and foster careWhy trying to sound like others keeps you disconnected from your authentic channelThe balance between technique and surrender in vocal expressionEnergetic hygiene and boundaries for facilitators and leadersHolding space with fierceness rather than just softnessFear disguised as questions - and how to recognize it in your containersDropping the performative mask in leadership and the online spaceEpisode-Related Resources:Read the Lauren of Love blog post for this episode!Lauren of Love Resources:Join the Magic App: ⁠laurenoflove.com/app⁠Freebies, courses, blog: laurenoflove.comIG: @laurenoflove, ⁠@theworldneedsyourmedicine⁠Grab our free Manifestation Sheets!Join our weekly Magic Notes insiders list!Guest Resources:Dominique's Instagram: @zemsway.of.earthDominique has private mentorships, online courses, & retreats if you want to dive deeper - send her a message to get started!Check out her FREE Vocal Liberation guide: https://zemswayofearth.myflodesk.com/vocalliberationseriessocialsFREE virtual Concert: https://zemswayofearth.myflodesk.com/avayaFREE Masterclass series: https://zemswayofearth.myflodesk.com/artoflivingsocialsCheck out Dominique's album!Brands Featured in our Launch Giveaway:Astro planner and journal from ⁠@magic_of_i⁠Mushroom support from ⁠@goldenrulemushrooms⁠Hair, longevity, and gut health by ⁠@joiwomenswellness⁠Dream support and self love candles ⁠@animamundiherbals⁠Ceremonial cacao from ⁠@keithscacao⁠ and ⁠@cacaoceremony⁠Spirit mamas oracle by ⁠@victoriamargauxnielsen⁠Chips by ⁠@masa_chips⁠Oils from ⁠@vibrantblueoils⁠Medicine from ⁠@fourvisionstribe⁠Supplement Gummies from ⁠@curednutrition⁠Hype Women by ⁠@erin.gallag.her ⁠

What if staying in your 9-5 isn't a sign of playing small, but an act of self-trust and a gift for your nervous system?This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt the gap between what they know they're capable of and what they're presently doing. It's for those who have questioned whether they're allowed to build their business at their own pace, without burning everything down to prove they want it.Today I'm joined by Kelly Chase - an entrepreneur, social influencer, podcast host, speaker, and reality TV star best known for her role as a cast mate on the breakaway hit Netflix show, Love Is Blind Season 1. With over 350,000 followers on social media, Kelly uses her platform and voice to inspire others to "chase life" and make the most of where they are in their journey.Kelly is a voice for women navigating identity shifts, emotional growth, and elevated self-trust. After years of personal transformation - healing attachment patterns, rewiring subconscious beliefs, and learning to live from a more regulated nervous system - she now shares insights on feminine embodiment, love, wealth, and lifestyle from a place of lived experience. Her work invites women to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and become the version of them who feels safe, grounded, and deeply aligned. She ultimately teaches women how to say "No" to the wrong things and "Yes" to the right things so they too can live a more purpose-led, happy, healthy, and wealthy life.Together, we explore the messy middle of entrepreneurship - the shame of inconsistent income, the exhaustion of performing success, and the quiet courage it takes to set boundaries around your own growth. Kelly shares openly about her panic attacks, the moment she finally chose herself, and why she refuses to leave her nine-to-five until she feels truly grounded.What emerges is a rich conversation about self-abandonment - how easy it is to lose yourself chasing trends, algorithms, and other people's definitions of success. And how the real work is staying true to who you are, even when it feels like everyone else has it figured out.If you've ever felt frustrated with yourself for not being further along, this episode will remind you that clarity is layered, healing takes time, and your pace is not a reflection of your potential.We also talk about:The "knowing-doing gap" and why information alone doesn't create changeHow Kelly's nervous system crashed after Love Is Blind airedThe difference between creative influence and creative control on social mediaWhy Kelly stopped doing health coaching and pivoted her entire businessSetting boundaries as an act of empowerment, not limitationKelly's new program "Becoming Her" launching in 2026Episode-Related Resources:Related Lauren of Love blog post!Lauren's Interview on Chase Life With Kelly Lauren of Love Resources:Join the Magic App: ⁠laurenoflove.com/app⁠Freebies, courses, blog: laurenoflove.comIG: ⁠@laurenoflove,⁠ ⁠⁠@theworldneedsyourmedicine⁠⁠Grab our free Manifestation Sheets!Join our weekly Magic Notes insiders list!Guest Resources:Kelly's Instagram: @chaselifewithkelly, @chaselifewithkellypodcastSend Kelly a DM to learn more about her group coaching programs releasing this year!Kelly's Website: https://www.chaselifewithkelly.comTikTok: @iamkellychase YouTube: https://youtube.com/@chaselifewithkellyBrands Featured in our Launch Giveaway:Astro planner and journal from ⁠⁠@magic_of_i⁠⁠Mushroom support from ⁠⁠@goldenrulemushrooms⁠⁠Hair, longevity, and gut health by ⁠⁠@joiwomenswellness⁠⁠Dream support and self love candles ⁠⁠@animamundiherbals⁠⁠Ceremonial cacao from ⁠⁠@keithscacao⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠@cacaoceremony⁠⁠Spirit mamas oracle by ⁠⁠@victoriamargauxnielsen⁠⁠Chips by ⁠⁠@masa_chips⁠⁠Oils from ⁠⁠@vibrantblueoils⁠⁠Medicine from ⁠⁠@fourvisionstribe⁠⁠Supplement Gummies from ⁠⁠@curednutrition⁠⁠Hype Women by ⁠⁠@erin.gallag.her ⁠⁠

Sometimes the biggest barrier to receiving what we deeply want is invisible to us. Our body can be broadcasting "stay back" while our mouth is saying "come closer" - and we have no idea it's happening. So, what's really going on beneath the surface when we can't stop doing, fixing, and proving? That's the territory we explored in today's conversation.I'm joined by Andrea Crowder - a nervous system expert, embodiment coach, and guide for high-achieving women who are ready to stop over-functioning their way through life and relationships. Andrea accidentally became a professional Pressure Diffuser for 7 and 8 figure founders, reality TV stars, and industry power players after casually posting one sentence that cracked the internet open and even made the bros pause: "I've made 7 figures - not a penny from pressure. Only pleasure."That one post earned her interviews on top podcasts like Mindvalley Coaches, and sparked a movement impacting thousands. In that moment, Andrea realized something profound: women weren't starving for another strategy - they were starving for a softer way to win.Andrea and I dropped in about what's really happening when we can't stop pushing forward, even when we're exhausted. We explored the difference between truth and trauma, why our bodies brace even in safe moments, and how the "good girl" conditioning keeps so many women trapped in cycles of over-functioning and resentment. Andrea shared vulnerable stories from her own relationship and the moment she discovered what she calls "the spine of the queen."One of the most powerful themes we kept returning to was this: the most powerful woman on the planet isn't the one who loves herself the most or has the most resources - it's the woman who understands herself the most. When you understand your biology as a tool, you can return to your heart in minutes and lead from there.The medicine of this episode will give you language for patterns you've been living but couldn't name - and permission to finally stop gripping so tightly.We also talk about:The difference between micro triggers and macro triggers - and why most emotional suffering is one or the otherHow over-functioning sends biological signals that push support awayThe "paper cuts to burning bush" pattern and how to catch it earlierWhat it means to lead from truth versus lead from traumaThe childhood roots of people-pleasing and the "good girl" leashHow Andrea's relationship became her greatest teacher this yearA simple question to ask before any decision: is my body relaxed or flinched?Episode-Related Resources:Read the blog post for this episode!Lauren of Love Resources:Join the Magic App: ⁠laurenoflove.com/app⁠Freebies, courses, blog: laurenoflove.comIG: ⁠@laurenoflove,⁠ ⁠⁠@theworldneedsyourmedicine⁠⁠Grab our free Manifestation Sheets!Join our weekly Magic Notes insiders list!Guest Resources:Spine of a Queen ApplicationInspire His Leadership Andrea's Instagram: love_andreacrowderBrands Featured in our Launch Giveaway:Astro planner and journal from ⁠⁠@magic_of_i⁠⁠Mushroom support from ⁠⁠@goldenrulemushrooms⁠⁠Hair, longevity, and gut health by ⁠⁠@joiwomenswellness⁠⁠Dream support and self love candles ⁠⁠@animamundiherbals⁠⁠Ceremonial cacao from ⁠⁠@keithscacao⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠@cacaoceremony⁠⁠Spirit mamas oracle by ⁠⁠@victoriamargauxnielsen⁠⁠Chips by ⁠⁠@masa_chips⁠⁠Oils from ⁠⁠@vibrantblueoils⁠⁠Medicine from ⁠⁠@fourvisionstribe⁠⁠Supplement Gummies from ⁠⁠@curednutrition⁠⁠Hype Women by ⁠⁠@erin.gallag.her ⁠

What happens when you've spent your whole life at war with your body? When the cues it gives you like hunger, pleasure, and intuition have been muted for so long that you've forgotten how to hear them?That's the territory we explore in today's conversation...I'm joined by Krista Williams - co-founder of Almost 30, a global community and brand dedicated to empowering people through life's transitions. As co-host of the critically acclaimed Almost 30 podcast, she's become a leading voice in spirituality and wellness. She also co-created Morning Microdose, a top-rated daily inspiration podcast. Krista leads luxury wellness retreats and has helped thousands through her transformational courses, The Life Edit and Metamorphosis. Her first book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide to a Life You Love for the Next Decade and Beyond, co-written with Lindsey Simcik, is out now.Krista and I dropped into a raw, honest conversation about what it actually takes to heal your relationship with your body - not through another diet or biohack, but through feeling your feelings, releasing codependent patterns, and creating a relationship with yourself that isn't filtered through anyone else's beliefs or expectations.So many women are carrying grief, sadness, and disappointment they've had to hide because they feel like no one can hold them. The path back to liberation is about finally letting yourself feel what you've been suppressing. We also talk about:How childhood programming around weight and food shapes our relationship with our bodiesThe connection between codependency and emotional eatingWhy feeling your feelings is the first level of shedding energetic weightInternal Family Systems and parts work as a healing toolThe mother wound and its impact on how we nourish ourselvesWhat true body liberation actually looks and feels likeEpisode-Related Resources:Read the Lauren of Love blog post for this episode!Lauren of Love Resources:Join the Magic App: ⁠laurenoflove.com/app⁠Freebies, courses, blog: laurenoflove.comIG: @laurenoflove,⁠ ⁠⁠@theworldneedsyourmedicine⁠⁠Grab our free Manifestation Sheets!Join our weekly Magic Notes insiders list!Guest Resources:Almost 30 Podcast:⁠ https://www.instagram.com/almost30podcast⁠Krista's Instagram: ⁠@itskrista⁠Krista's Metamorphosis Program: ⁠https://itskrista.com/metamorphosis Brands Featured in our Launch Giveaway:Astro planner and journal from ⁠⁠@magic_of_i⁠⁠Mushroom support from ⁠⁠@goldenrulemushrooms⁠⁠Hair, longevity, and gut health by ⁠⁠@joiwomenswellness⁠⁠Dream support and self love candles ⁠⁠@animamundiherbals⁠⁠Ceremonial cacao from ⁠⁠@keithscacao⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠@cacaoceremony⁠⁠Spirit mamas oracle by ⁠⁠@victoriamargauxnielsen⁠⁠Chips by ⁠⁠@masa_chips⁠⁠Oils from ⁠⁠@vibrantblueoils⁠⁠Medicine from ⁠⁠@fourvisionstribe⁠⁠Supplement Gummies from ⁠⁠@curednutrition⁠⁠Hype Women by ⁠⁠@erin.gallag.her ⁠

There's a moment many of us reach on the entrepreneurial path when the version of success we built starts to feel like it's killing us from the inside out. The body refuses to keep up with the pace, and what once felt exciting now feels draining. Somewhere beneath the surface, a quiet voice starts asking if there's another way...Today I'm joined by Amanda Bucci - a business coach, author, and identity advisor passionate about helping people codify their genius into scalable programs while guiding them through life-altering identity-level transformation. A trailblazer in the digital space, Amanda first gained recognition as one of the original influencers in 2014, quickly rising to internet fame and 7-figure success. After experiencing burnout, debt, and cancellation trauma, Amanda saw the dark side of business and online visibility. Her work now is centered around supporting people in fighting for their dreams by rewiring their subconscious beliefs and identity around success, money, and visibility - so they can blow up their brands without losing themselves in the process.Amanda and I dropped into a powerful conversation about the shame that comes with financial crisis, the pressure to share everything online, and what it actually looks like to protect your sensitivity while still building something meaningful. We explored the beliefs that pair success with suffering, how to know if you're in flow or just in comfort, and the deep inner reconfiguration required to create a business that can hold your expansion.One of the themes we kept circling back to was this: you don't have to give up your ambition to have your health, your aliveness, and your relationships. There is a way to build without burnout - but it requires a level of honesty with yourself that can feel difficult to face.The medicine of this episode will give you permission to slow down, protect your energy, and to trust that the version of success meant for you doesn't require you to lose yourself in the process.We also talk about:The shame spiral of teaching success while privately feeling like a failureWhy it's not healthy to share publicly when you have an open woundHow burnout creates subconscious beliefs that pair success with exhaustionLearning to reject energy that isn't yours instead of absorbing and alchemizing itBuilding a brand structure that can hold your expansionThe difference between being in flow and being in comfortEpisode-Related Resources:Read the Lauren of Love blog post for this episode!Referenced Episodes: Kelly Chase, Kris Yeo Lauren of Love Resources:Join the Magic App: ⁠laurenoflove.com/app⁠Freebies, courses, blog: laurenoflove.comIG: ⁠@laurenoflove,⁠ ⁠⁠@theworldneedsyourmedicine⁠⁠Grab our free Manifestation Sheets!Join our weekly Magic Notes insiders list!Guest Resources:Amanda's Instagram: @amandabucciAmanda's Website: https://www.amandabucci.com/Brands Featured in our Launch Giveaway:Astro planner and journal from ⁠⁠@magic_of_i⁠⁠Mushroom support from ⁠⁠@goldenrulemushrooms⁠⁠Hair, longevity, and gut health by ⁠⁠@joiwomenswellness⁠⁠Dream support and self love candles ⁠⁠@animamundiherbals⁠⁠Ceremonial cacao from ⁠⁠@keithscacao⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠@cacaoceremony⁠⁠Spirit mamas oracle by ⁠⁠@victoriamargauxnielsen⁠⁠Chips by ⁠⁠@masa_chips⁠⁠Oils from ⁠⁠@vibrantblueoils⁠⁠Medicine from ⁠⁠@fourvisionstribe⁠⁠Supplement Gummies from ⁠⁠@curednutrition⁠⁠Hype Women by ⁠⁠@erin.gallag.her ⁠⁠

What would it feel like to stop hiding the parts of yourself you were taught to suppress?For so many women, the sensual, expressive, and untamed parts of who we are get pushed down early - through comments about our bodies, messages about how to be "good," and the process of learning that certain parts of us made other people uncomfortable. And so we adapted. We dimmed. We performed. Now… we rewrite it all.Today I'm joined by Emily Michele - a certified Somatic Practitioner and neuroscience-informed life and success coach who guides high-performing women back into their bodies, their power, and their truth. Her work blends female nervous system regulation, shadow integration, and embodied leadership to help women upgrade their standards and self-concept, awaken their potential, and take aligned action.A former corporate finance executive turned multi-six-figure entrepreneur and soon-to-be mother of four, Emily has lived through perfectionism, over-functioning, and self-silencing - teaching from embodiment, not just theory. Her work is a beautiful rebellion back to your dark side, the side you've been taught by society to shame, suppress, and dissociate from - but it's the power that unlocks the next level of expansion.Emily and I got into deep waters in this one - what the dark feminine actually is beyond the Instagram aesthetic, how shame gets stored and passed down through lineages, and what it really takes to soften when your whole life has been built on control and independence. We also talked about what shifts in your relationships and intimacy when you finally feel safe in your own body.One thread that kept weaving through our conversation: the healing we're here to offer others is usually the healing we've had to walk through ourselves. And the parts we rejected the longest often hold the most power.The medicine of this episode will inspire you to welcome all of yourself back home - the messy, the wild, and the parts still waiting to be seen.We also talk about:Why so many women carry shame in their hips and womb spaceThe difference between performing the dark feminine and actually living from herHow to regulate your nervous system when your body has been stuck in fight or flight for yearsWhat changes in your intimacy when you feel safe to be expressedSoftening out of the "I don't need anyone" identityEpisode-Related Resources:Read the Lauren of Love blog post for this episode!Lauren's Plant Medicine RetreatLauren of Love Resources:Join the Magic App: ⁠laurenoflove.com/app⁠Freebies, courses, blog: laurenoflove.comIG: @laurenoflove,⁠ ⁠⁠@theworldneedsyourmedicine⁠⁠Grab our free Manifestation Sheets!Join our weekly Magic Notes insiders list!Guest Resources:Emily's Instagram: @its_emilymicheleClick here to see Emily's offerings!

There's a reason so many of us feel disconnected from our own desire, intuition, and capacity... we've spent years living from the neck up - thinking our way through life instead of feeling our way through it. This conversation is about what happens when we finally come home to the body.Today I'm joined by Amanda Biccum - an embodiment mentor and Tantra facilitator who helps women reconnect with their bodies, sensuality, and sexuality. As co-founder of the Temple of Radiance, she's guided hundreds of women worldwide through transformative retreats, trainings, and online programs. Amanda's work focuses on integrating embodiment and Tantra into daily life - bringing more love, intimacy, and sacred connection into every part of the way we live.Amanda and I dive into a deeply vulnerable conversation about what Tantra actually is (and isn’t), how life force energy moves through the body, and why so many of us feel disconnected from our own desire, intuition, and capacity. We explored how sexual patterns mirror life patterns, what it means to live a body-led life, and how to navigate growth with a partner who may be on a different path.One of the big themes we circled back to again and again was this: the body is not an obstacle to spiritual evolution, it is the doorway. Healing, intimacy, and creativity all begin with our willingness to feel, to inhabit ourselves fully, and to trust the wisdom that rises from within.The medicine of this episode will help you feel more expanded and grounded - and ready to explore your own life force with more curiosity, compassion, and reverence.We also talk about:What Tantra really is beyond the mainstream misconceptionsHow life force energy awakens clarity, confidence, and purposeThe difference between clinical nervous system work and spiritual ritualSexual dynamics as mirrors for work, relationships, and personal patternsEmbodiment and the “five bodies” frameworkHow to invite your partner into deeper practices without pressureCreating sacred intimacy and non-sexual touch in relationshipsEpisode-Related Resources:Read the Lauren of Love blog post for this episode!Lauren of Love Resources:Join the Magic App: ⁠laurenoflove.com/app⁠Freebies, courses, blog: ⁠laurenoflove.com⁠IG: @laurenoflove,⁠ ⁠⁠@theworldneedsyourmedicine⁠⁠⁠Grab our free Manifestation Sheets!⁠⁠Join our weekly Magic Notes insiders list!Guest Resources:IG: @theamandabiccumClick here for the temple of Radiance Membership + discount code included!

There's a side of entrepreneurship that’s rarely talked about openly - the moments that shake us to our core, the client experiences that cause us to question our boundaries, and the seasons where building feels more like breaking open. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on ten years of real, raw business experiences and the trauma that shaped me into the leader I am today.I take you through the full timeline; from my very first $8,000 month and the panic that followed, to mentor relationships that left me questioning everything, to the season I burned down my entire business and moved to Sedona to heal. I share what happened when I hit $100k in a month and had a nervous breakdown at a Tony Robbins training. I get honest about difficult client dynamics, boundaries I let get crossed, and the deep work required to keep showing up after experiences that made me want to close my doors forever.One truth kept revealing itself through every single one of these initiations: our business will mirror back every unhealed part of us. They will bring up every unintegrated wound, every old pattern, every place we still don't feel safe - to refine us into who we're becoming.My hope is that this episode helps you feel less alone in the hard seasons, more resourced to move through challenges without pulling away, and deeply reminded that your humanity is not a liability in your leadership - it's the whole point.I also talk about:How past trauma patterns replay in business through the "law of rewrites"What I learned from mentors who projected onto me instead of holding spaceThe real story behind my first $100k month and the breakdown that followedWhy I burned down Badass Business Babe and what emerged from the ashesNavigating difficult client dynamics without losing yourselfWhy boundaries must deepen as your spiritual power growsHow to discern which clients are safe to work withEpisode-Related Resources:Read the blog post for this episode!Lauren of Love Resources:Join the Magic App: laurenoflove.com/appFreebies, courses, blog: laurenoflove.comIG: @laurenofloveGrab our free Manifestation Sheets!Brands Featured in our Launch Giveaway:Astro planner and journal from ⁠⁠@magic_of_i⁠⁠Mushroom support from ⁠⁠@goldenrulemushrooms⁠⁠Hair, longevity, and gut health by ⁠⁠@joiwomenswellness⁠⁠Dream support and self love candles ⁠⁠@animamundiherbals⁠⁠Ceremonial cacao from ⁠⁠@keithscacao⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠@cacaoceremony⁠⁠Spirit mamas oracle by ⁠⁠@victoriamargauxnielsen⁠⁠Chips by ⁠⁠@masa_chips⁠⁠Oils from ⁠⁠@vibrantblueoils⁠⁠Medicine from ⁠⁠@fourvisionstribe⁠⁠Supplement Gummies from ⁠⁠@curednutrition⁠⁠Hype Women by ⁠⁠@erin.gallag.her ⁠

There was a moment years ago during meditation when I heard a sentence that ignited a spark deep in my spirit: The world needs your medicine. I didn’t fully understand it at the time, but it stayed with me. It became the anchor for my work, and ultimately - the foundation for this entire podcast… This is where we begin.In this first episode of The World Needs Your Medicine, we’re grounding into the heart and intention of this show. At its core, this podcast is about remembering the gifts we carry, being honest about the challenges that shape us, and creating a space where real stories and lived experiences become medicine for all of us.Today I take you through the key moments that shaped my own path: leaving my job in television news, navigating the unraveling of an abusive marriage, moving through chronic illness, and stepping into spiritual healing. These were the seasons that forced me to peel back the layers, look at my own resistance, and understand why so many of us doubt our power just as we’re being called to use it.I also talk about: What you can expect from future episodes The internal challenges that show up when you step toward your purpose The process of healing through shared stories and honest conversationsHow other people’s experiences can activate your own growthLauren of Love Resources:Join the Magic App: ⁠laurenoflove.com/app⁠Freebies, courses, blog: ⁠laurenoflove.com⁠IG: @laurenoflove,⁠ ⁠⁠@theworldneedsyourmedicine⁠⁠⁠Grab our free Manifestation Sheets!⁠⁠Join our weekly Magic Notes insiders list!Brands Featured in our Launch Giveaway:Astro planner and journal from ⁠⁠@magic_of_i⁠⁠Mushroom support from ⁠⁠@goldenrulemushrooms⁠⁠Hair, longevity, and gut health by ⁠⁠@joiwomenswellness⁠⁠Dream support and self love candles ⁠⁠@animamundiherbals⁠⁠Ceremonial cacao from ⁠⁠@keithscacao⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠@cacaoceremony⁠⁠Spirit mamas oracle by ⁠⁠@victoriamargauxnielsen⁠⁠Chips by ⁠⁠@masa_chips⁠⁠Oils from ⁠⁠@vibrantblueoils⁠⁠Medicine from ⁠⁠@fourvisionstribe⁠⁠Supplement Gummies from ⁠⁠@curednutrition⁠⁠Hype Women by ⁠⁠@erin.gallag.her ⁠
