Threads of Humanity

On this episode of Threads of Humanity, we sit down with Julie Allyson, Strategic Decision Coach and founder of You Decide Coaching, for a powerful conversation about what it truly means to live intentionally. Together, we explore what intentional living looks like in real life, not just as a buzzword, but as a daily practice. Julie shares how to cultivate clarity in your decisions, align your actions with your values, and create space for what actually matters. We also unpack what begins to shift when you start living with intention and how to resist the constant pull of hustle culture and society’s obsession with productivity. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, caught in the grind, or craving more alignment in your life, this episode offers practical insight and grounded encouragement to help you slow down, refocus, and choose differently. Because at the end of the day… you decide.

In this episode of Threads of Humanity, we talk honestly about grief—what it looks like, what it feels like, and why there is no “right way” to move through it. Drawing from our own journeys after losing our mothers, we explore how grief lives not only in our hearts, but in our bodies and nervous systems. We discuss why healing isn’t linear, why society often rushes grief, and how learning to sit with it can be an act of strength. Resources discussed include The Grieving Brain, It's OK That You're Not OK, and The Body Keeps the Score.

Heather and Kelvin reflect on how adversity shaped who they are today, finding gratitude, strength, and purpose in their struggles. They explore the gifts that come from challenge and their shared desire to spread love, light, and guidance. They also dive into the healing power of human connection: how sharing our stories breaks assumptions and reveals how much we truly have in common.
