How do you cope when the unimaginable happens?

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Judy Giovangelo, the founder of Ben Speaks and Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist, who vulnerably shares her heart-wrenching story of losing her son Ben to suicide at just 18 years old.

Judy opens up about the incredibly unique soul that Ben was, the challenges they faced throughout his life, and the profound spiritual experiences — including past life regressions — that helped them both understand their deeper connection and purpose. After finding him in their garage, Judy’s world shattered… but from the ashes, something extraordinary was born.

We talk about: ✨The spiritual journey she and Ben shared — in this life and beyond ✨How grief became a catalyst for her healing and awakening ✨The early warning signs and how to support kids who are struggling ✨Her nonprofit’s mission to empower youth with emotional tools ✨How to transmute pain into purpose

This is not just a story of loss — it’s a story of love, legacy, and the healing power of transformation....and all the messy moments in between.

In this solo episode, I open up about what vulnerability and authenticity really look like for me behind the scenes.

I share insights from a recent course I completed on emotional awareness and the VIEW state of mind — a powerful lens that has helped me become more present and self-compassionate during emotionally challenging times.

I also take you inside my personal process for reparenting myself when my inner child wants to rebel or self-sabotage. If you’ve ever found yourself spiraling into old patterns when things feel hard, or struggling with self sabotage, this episode will offer you both compassion and tools to find your way back to center....and into your own success.

In this episode, I share: ✨What authenticity means when there is no script ✨How I use the VIEW state to allow difficult emotions ✨My step-by-step self-reparenting process ✨Permission to be human while staying aligned with your purpose

💫 Whether you're on a transformational journey or just learning to unconditionally love your messy humanness — this episode's for you.

In this super raw and revealing episode, I sit down with Luke Beastall, former semi-pro footballer turned entrepreneur, coach, and all-around powerhouse of authenticity.

Luke opens up candidly about his journey from chasing a dream on the football field to battling body image issues, dealing with bullying, losing himself and his confidence, launching a successful personal training business — and then losing everything. But it was in the ashes of that loss that Luke reconnected with his truth, redefined what success actually means to him, and began building a life rooted in what really matters.

We dive deep into:

👉🏻The dark side of semi professional football culture 👉🏻How hustle culture nearly broke him (financially & emotionally) 👉🏻The shift from ego-driven goals to soul-aligned success 👉🏻Why reconnection to self is the key to fulfillment 👉🏻His best advice for those rebuilding from rock bottom

Luke’s story is a powerful reminder that the most important transformation we make isn’t in our business or our body — it’s in who we allow ourselves to become as we reconnect with who we really are.

💥 Whether you’re a coach, entrepreneur, athlete, or someone in a massive life transition, this one will hit home. It is a MUST watch!!
