What if the simplest way to shift your life… started with a pen and a blank page? In this expansive and joy-filled conversation, Hilary sits down with internationally respected intuitive, author, and artist Colette Baron-Reid to explore how intentional art can rewire the brain, regulate the nervous system, and open us to synchronicity in ways vision boards alone can't. From celebrating 40 years of sobriety to rediscovering line art during the pandemic, Colette shares how doodling became more than self-expression, it became a portal to resilience, surrender, and conscious co-creation. Together, they unpack the difference between instinct and intuition, why manifestation isn't about control, and how creating from a state of "stupefied gratitude" helps us rehearse possibility instead of fear. You'll hear the powerful story behind her book "The Art of Manifesting" and why leaving space for the unexpected, what she calls the "zone of synchronicity," may be the missing link in calling in what you truly desire. If you've been craving a way to feel grounded, inspired, and creatively alive in uncertain times, this conversation will remind you that art isn't a luxury, it's human technology for hope.

January has earned a difficult nickname in legal and mental health circles: Divorce Month. But what's really happening when the holidays end, and so many women begin questioning their marriages? In this episode of HIListically Speaking, Hilary Russo is joined by Oona Metz, therapist of 30 years and author of Unhitched: The Essential Divorce Guide for Women. Together, they unpack why couples often hold on through the holidays, how chronic stress shows up in the body, and why divorce is not a failure, but a loss that deserves care, grief, and support.

Oona shares her own divorce journey, her groundbreaking model of divorce grief, and why community, humor, and agency are essential for healing. This conversation is for women on the edge of a decision, in the middle of separation, or supporting someone through it, and for anyone ready to release shame and redefine what it means to choose themselves.

Ever felt like life's unexpected turns were trying to tell you something? In this powerful episode of HIListically Speaking, filmmaker-turned-author Kimberly Warner returns to share her deeply personal journey behind her acclaimed memoir, Unfixed that's touching hearts around the world. After being diagnosed with a vestibular disorder (non-motion triggered oscillatory vertigo), Kimberly's life literally began to spin. But through stillness, storytelling, and self-compassion, she discovered an entirely new way of seeing the world, one rooted in healing, surrender, and self-awareness.

Together, we explore:

• The connection between trauma, the nervous system, and chronic illness

• How early exposure to self-help and meditation shaped Kimberly's healing path

• What happens when a DNA test rewrites your family story

• The transformative power of community through Substack

• And how "being unfixed" can become your greatest freedom
