In this deeply heartfelt episode, we sit down with Danielle Zilg—a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) in the making, motivator, mental health maven, wounded healer, and wholehearted advocate for creating safe spaces where people can truly feel and heal.Danielle opens up about the personal journey that led her from a career in marketing to the world of therapy, sharing how her own mental health challenges, adoption story, and family dynamics shaped not only who she is, but the powerful, compassionate healer she is becoming. Her lived experiences inform her therapeutic lens in profound ways, allowing her to support others with empathy, insight, and authenticity.One of the central themes of this conversation is Danielle’s belief in the transformative power of “I feel” statements—a gentle but potent shift that helps individuals acknowledge emotions without confusing them for identity. By separating who we are from what we feel, we open new pathways for self-awareness, self-compassion, and emotional resilience.Together, we explore the lasting imprint of early attachments, how adoption and family systems influence adult relationships, and why creating safe emotional spaces is essential for true healing. Danielle reminds us that understanding our narrative—our patterns, our wounds, our roots—empowers us to rewrite what no longer serves us.This episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and honor the stories that shaped you… while also learning how to step into the version of yourself you are becoming.To connect with Danielle, explore her resources, or follow her journey toward becoming an MFT, visit:👉 https://linktr.ee/danielle.z.mftComing SIoon To Cocoa Village, FLorida:My daughter , Jessica and I are pleased to invite you to the Radiant Women Wellness Weekend.

🎙 Podcast Episode SummaryIn this heartfelt follow-up episode to last week’s powerful conversation with bestselling author and breast cancer survivor Cara Lockwood, we shift the focus to the people standing beside those who are hurting — the friends, family members, and loved ones who want to help but often don’t know what to say.This episode explores what to say — and what not to say — when someone you love is facing grief, devastating diagnoses, addiction, or emotional loss. With compassion and practical guidance, we share language that comforts instead of harms, presence instead of platitudes, and connection instead of silence.🎧 If you haven’t listened to last week’s episode with Cara Lockwood yet, be sure to go back and listen — it adds so much depth to today’s conversation.🚫 10 Things NOT to Say When Someone Is Hurting“Everything happens for a reason.”“At least…” (at least they lived a long life, at least it was caught early, etc.)“Be strong.”“Let me know if you need anything.”“I know exactly how you feel.”“They’re in a better place.”“Stay positive.”“This will make you stronger.”“Just pray about it” / “Look on the bright side.”“Call me if you need anything.”✅ 10 Things You Should Say Instead“I’m so sorry this is happening to you.”“That sounds incredibly painful.”“You don’t have to be strong with me.”“I’d love to help — can I bring dinner or run an errand for you?”“I can’t imagine how heavy this feels, but I care about you.”“I’m so sorry for your loss.”“However you feel today is okay.”“This is a lot to carry — and I’m here with you.”“I don’t have the right words, but I care.”“I’m checking in on you today. No pressure to reply.”Coming SIoon To Cocoa Village, FLorida:My daughter , Jessica and I are pleased to invite you to the Radiant Women Wellness Weekend. December 6th and 7th, cocoa village, florida.

Bestselling author Cara Lockwood has made readers laugh, cry, and swoon through more than 35 books — including the USA Today bestsellers The Takeover and I Do (But I Don’t), which became a Lifetime Original Movie starring Denise Richards.But in 2023, during a routine mammogram, Cara’s life took a sharp turn when she was diagnosed with Stage 1 HER+ breast cancer. After a double mastectomy, chemotherapy, and reconstruction, she went into remission in 2024 — and turned her journey into something extraordinary.Her new book, There’s No Good Book for This but I Wrote One Anyway: The Irreverent Guide to Crushing Breast Cancer (Oct. 1, 2025), is a candid, laugh-out-loud, and deeply empowering guide for patients, survivors, and loved ones alike. Part memoir, part pep talk, and part “screaming into the void,” Cara uses humor as her healing superpower — offering an unfiltered, relatable take on the toughest days of treatment and recovery.In this episode, Cara shares how she found her voice through vulnerability, why gallows humor became her secret weapon, and the pep talk she’d give anyone who just got “the call.” It’s real, raw, and wildly human — proof that sometimes laughter is the best medicine.💗 Half of all proceeds from her book benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.Connect with Cara Lockwood:🌐 theresnogoodbookforthis.com🌐 caratheauthor.com📸 Instagram: @cara_lockwood | @cara.the.author📘 Facebook: facebook.com/AuthorCaraLockwoodComing SIoon To Cocoa Village, FLorida:My daughter , Jessica and I are pleased to invite you to the Radiant Women Wellness Weekend.

In this powerful solo episode, we continue the conversation sparked by my recent interview with grief and loss coach Katy Parker — but this time, we’re taking a closer look at one of the most well-known (and misunderstood) grief models: the Five Stages of Grief.We’ve all heard them — denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance — but what do they really look like in everyday life? And what if you’re not experiencing them “in order”?In this episode, we’ll explore:✨ Why grief isn’t linear — and never has been✨ How the five stages can appear, disappear, and reappear over time✨ Real-life examples of what each stage may feel like emotionally + physically✨ Why invisible grief deserves just as much space and support✨ Practical tools to care for yourself in whatever stage you’re in todayThis conversation is about compassion… for yourself, your grief, and your healing.There is no finish line. There is no “moving on.”There is only learning to move with grief while still honoring your life, your joy, and the love that remains.If you connected with the themes Katy shared, this episode will help you apply those insights in meaningful, supportive ways — no matter where you are on your journey.

In this episode, we sit down with Sarah Stray, founder of Boxless Coaching, an Akashic Record Healer and Soul Recalibration Coach who helps people clear ancestral patterns and reconnect with their inner knowing.After more than 20 years in the nonprofit strategy world, Sarah followed a quiet inner tug toward something deeper. What began as burnout evolved into a spiritual awakening—guided by energy work, synchronicities, and the loving presence of her grandmother. That path eventually led her to the Akashic Records, where she found profound clarity and a sense of homecoming.Sarah shares how working within the Records differs from traditional therapy or other energy work—helping clients release limiting beliefs, karmic imprints, and old stories so their soul’s truth can lead. We also explore what it means to live boxlessly—free from roles, labels, and expectations—so transformation can unfold naturally from the inside out.This conversation is filled with warmth, insight, and the reminder that your soul already remembers the way forward.✨ Connect with Sarah Stray:Instagram: @boxlesscoachingWebsite: https://boxless.cohere.live/aboutLinktree: linktr.ee/boxlesscoachingAnd now, get her free gift: https://bit.ly/unwantedwoundbirthHeal Your Own Birth: The Unwanted Wound: Clearing energy absorbed in utero.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Helen Ngo — speaker, writer, and courageous truth‑teller who is sparking honest conversations about loss, grief, and the messy path toward healing.After the sudden deaths of her boyfriend, niece, and best friend, Helen didn’t just lose people she loved — she says she “lost her Self (with a capital S).” What followed were twenty years of what she calls “zombie‑ing through life”: surviving the day-to-day through hyper‑independence, workaholism, and perfectionism.Helen opens up about what she now calls gold‑star syndrome — tying her worth to productivity, achievement, and taking care of everyone else. On the outside, she was a high‑performing financial advisor, mom, sister, and friend. On the inside, she was drowning in unprocessed grief.Her breakthrough came in therapy — the moment her walls finally cracked and she felt connection again. That support literally saved her life.Now Helen is using her voice to help others feel less alone.

In this episode, we dive deep into the powerful and often misunderstood concept of internal resistance — that invisible force that keeps us from taking action on the things we truly want. Joining me is Kam Knight, a distinguished mentor, international speaker, and bestselling author known for his groundbreaking work on mental, emotional, and physical performance.Kam unpacks the psychological roots of resistance, explaining how our own brains can work against us — manifesting as procrastination, self-sabotage, fear, or overwhelm. He breaks down the science behind why we get stuck and offers practical, research-based strategies to help listeners move from paralysis into purpose-driven action.Together, we explore how trauma and emotional conditioning can amplify resistance, especially for those with challenging pasts, and how understanding these mechanisms allows for deep transformation. Kam introduces actionable tools like micro-commitments — small, manageable steps that help bypass overwhelm, build momentum, and retrain the brain to associate progress with safety and satisfaction.Kam reminds us that "wanting does not equate to having." True growth and fulfillment come when we courageously face our inner resistance and act in spite of it. His wisdom provides a roadmap for anyone ready to transcend self-sabotage and step boldly into aligned action.💡 Key TakeawaysInternal resistance is a psychological barrier that prevents action toward our goals.Different areas of the brain create desire and resistance, leading to inner conflict.Recognizing and naming self-sabotaging patterns is the first step toward change.Procrastination cues like “later” or “next time” are red flags for resistance at work.Micro-commitments help reduce overwhelm and build momentum through small wins.Unresolved trauma and unmet emotional needs often underpin chronic resistance.True transformation begins when we choose to act — even when resistance whispers "not yet."🧠 Connect with Kam KnightInstagramFacebookYouTubeLinkedInTikTok✨ Tune in to learn how to reprogram your mind, dismantle internal barriers, and finally take the steps your soul has been longing for.Coming SIoon To Cocoa Village, FLorida:My daughter , Jessica and I are pleased to invite you to the Radiant Women Wellness Weekend.
