Hear her story of feeling “stuck” on her path from corporate leader to solopreneur coach…and how a single conversation unlocked a wave of clarity and action for both of us.

| 12/23/25 | ![]() An Airline Pilot’s Journey Through Depression, Connection, and Healing | Ep. 17 COH | Valerie Hope | In this heartfelt episode of Circle of Hope, I’m joined by Jérôme Vaillancourt, from Montreal, Canada, for an inspiring and vulnerable conversation about connection, coherence, and healing. Jérôme and I reminisce on how our friendship sparked in the most unlikely of places—a randomly assigned, two-minute breakout room during a HeartMath Institute course at the height of the pandemic. What began as a fleeting encounter blossomed into a monthly circle of support that’s provided healing, growth, and safety for both of us (and others in our group) through job changes, personal upheavals, and the intricacies of navigating life’s challenges.We talk candidly about Jérôme’s journey from being a logic-driven, technically-focused airline pilot—through a life-altering depression—to someone who leads with intention, openness, and heart. He shares how our group supported him during his darkest moments, the unique safety we found together, and how energetic, heart-based connections can be just as vital as frequent communication. We discuss everything from the science of the heart to the magic of intuition, navigating relationships with new intention, and why “coherence” isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a lived experience that can transform even the most logic-driven environments.Watch This If:You’re craving deeper, more meaningful connections in your life or work.You’ve ever felt isolated and wondered how to rebuild or nurture your support circle.You’re curious about heart-based science, emotional coherence, or the HeartMath Institute.You want practical tips for fostering psychological safety and vulnerability in groups.You’re navigating major life transitions, such as career changes or mental health challenges.You believe—or want to believe—that even brief encounters can change your life.Quotes to Remember:“We don’t have walls in that group. We’re just standing on hard ground.” —Jérôme Vaillancourt“Relationships are actually not always just built in conversation and dialogue…but also in the intention that we hold about the people that we’re in relationship with.” —Valerie Hope“Take care of yourself and you take care of your relationships. Like really.” —Jérôme Vaillancourt“The courage that we have in sharing what’s going on with us…no matter where we are on the spectrum or how intense it is…the intention is always that it be a healing conversation.” —Valerie HopeWhat You’ll Learn:How even brief, unexpected connections can blossom into powerful support circles.The science and practice of “coherence” and its impact on both individuals and groups.Why psychological safety and vulnerability are foundational for meaningful connection.Ways to nurture relationships energetically—even if you’re not in constant contact.How intention and heart-based practices can reshape your approach to work, life, and healing from major challenges.Practical ideas for reaching out, showing up, and anchoring a sense of community, even when others fade away or circumstances change.The subtle—but powerful—ways you can make a positive impact on everyone around you, seen and unseen.Contact Information:Guest: Jérôme VaillancourtWebsite: https://ucoaching.art/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/j%C3%A9r%C3%B4me-vaillancourt-conf%C3%A9rencier-pilote-coh%C3%A9rence-physiologique?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=android_appHost: Valerie HopeWebsite:https://www.valeriehope.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/valeriehope/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/valeriehope/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/ValerieVHopeYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/@ConnecttoJoyProduction Support: Lucy Hope - Podcast Editing, Copy, and Publishing.#CircleOfHope #HeartMath #IntentionalConnections #HealingThroughCommunity #EmotionalCoherence | 1h 08m 20s | ||||||
| 12/16/25 | ![]() Secrets to Thriving as a Teen: How Listening & Invitations Open Doors | Ep. 16 COH | Valerie Hope | In this lively, heartfelt episode of The Circle of Hope, I sit down with my niece Lucy Hope, a rising high school senior—and, fittingly, my summer virtual assistant! We unravel the power of curiosity, listening, and connecting with those who help us grow. From Lucy’s early days as the inquisitive toddler in our family kitchen to her navigation of high school clubs, friendships, and the dynamic landscape of a big, bustling household, we explore how quietly observed details can lead to genuine influence and leadership.Lucy shares her journey as a naturally introverted observer who discovered that being a good listener can make you not only a better friend, but also a thoughtful gift-giver, a connector, and, unexpectedly, a leader. We dive into fascinating discoveries about “human design,” how understanding your preference for invitations (“wait to be invited” versus “initiate or respond”) can shape your opportunities and confidence. Along the way, we discuss sibling relationships, family dynamics, generational gaps, and practical advice for both adults and teens about listening, mentoring, and finding “your people.” Whether you’re a quiet teen, a parent, or anyone hungry for authentic connection, this is a must-listen for practical wisdom infused with warmth and humor.Watch This If:You’re a teen (or parent of one) navigating friendships, clubs, or new environments.You want to communicate better with young people in your life.You appreciate the hidden power of being a great listener or want to develop it.You’re interested in self-awareness approaches like “human design” or discovering your strengths.You value real-life stories and advice about forging meaningful connections and support circles.You’re curious about relatable intergenerational family wisdom and advice.Quotes to Remember:“Just being able to understand other people and then give them the empathy that they deserve … is really important.” – Lucy Hope“There’s nothing worse than telling yourself you’re too old to try this or you couldn’t try this … If it interests you, just do it.” – Lucy Hope“You don’t need to have one person be everything for you. … We do need a circle of people.” – Valerie Hope“Sometimes, it’d be more helpful if, instead of me saying, ‘This is what’s happening at school,’ they asked, ‘How is school? What’s going on?’ … Sometimes I don’t want to be complaining … just having that space to bring it up in a conversation is really helpful.” – Lucy HopeWhat You’ll Learn:Why listening quietly can make you more influential and empathetic—especially in friendships and family.How your unique style of initiating, waiting for invitations, or responding can open doors to new opportunities—and why it matters for teens and adults.The power and practicality of forming your “circle of hope” with different people for different needs (not expecting one person to be your “everything”).Helpful ways for parents and adults to support and communicate with teens (hint: don’t rush to “fix” every problem!).Real advice for young people feeling alone or starting fresh: how to make friends, be yourself, and build authentic connections.The surprising benefits of trying new activities, being open to invitations, and knowing when to move on (“never feel boxed in”).Generational wisdom: stories of resilience, reinvention, and curiosity passed through family.Contact Information:Guest: Lucy HopeInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/i.love.llucyy/Host: Valerie HopeWebsite:https://www.valeriehope.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/valeriehope/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/valeriehope/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/ValerieVHopeYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/@ConnecttoJoyProduction Support: Lucy Hope - Podcast Editing, Copy, and Publishing.#CircleOfHope #TeenWisdom #ActiveListening #FamilyConnections #HumanDesign | 1h 11m 08s | ||||||
| 12/9/25 | ![]() How to Truly See People, in the Midst of Conflict | Ep. 15 COH | Valerie Hope | In this special episode of The Circle of Hope, I’m joined by the incredible Ingrid Gavshon—accomplished documentary filmmaker, masterful coach, and a dear friend who truly embodies compassion and connection across cultures. Our conversation is a soulful exploration of how meaningful relationships are fostered, especially with those who may seem different from us on the surface. Ingrid draws from her rich experiences growing up in South Africa during apartheid, traveling the world, and sitting across from controversial figures as a filmmaker. Her insights remind us how vital it is to move past headlines and labels, and to “see people for who they are, rather than what they represent.”Together, we talk about the power of asking real, curious questions, how to navigate cultural differences with humility, and the courage it takes to find humanity even in the most polarizing situations. We share personal stories—everything from dealing with tough conversations in family, learning to listen for what’s not being said, to transforming friction in teams and cross-cultural encounters into genuine understanding. If you’ve ever wondered how to hold space for difficult dialogue, become a better listener, or simply rekindle the joy of human connection in a divided world, this conversation is for you.Watch This If:You want to learn how to connect deeply with people across cultural, political, or personal dividesYou struggle with “hot button” conversations and are looking for ways to navigate them gracefullyYou’re curious about the behind-the-scenes work of a documentary filmmakerYou value empathy, curiosity, and courageous conversationsYou want practical tips to foster belonging and understanding at work or in your personal lifeQuotes to Remember:“We both see people for who they are rather than for what they represent.” – Ingrid Gavshon“If you really know somebody else, you probably find some level of commonality… but it’s about listening for what’s not being said.” – Ingrid Gavshon“Our job is to get in alignment with that way of serving... There’s not one right way to do it.” – Valerie Hope“People aren’t their politics. They have lives… hopes and dreams and struggles.” – Ingrid GavshonWhat You’ll Learn:How to ask deeper questions that invite openness, not defensivenessThe difference between seeking to understand vs. seeking to win debatesCross-cultural communication insights—preparation vs. organic connectionStrategies for defusing tension and bringing humanity back to polarized topicsThe transformative power of storytelling, curiosity, and communityHow to identify your own intentions in difficult conversationsThat there are many valid ways to contribute to social changeContact Information:Guest: Ingrid GavshonLinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/ingrid-gavshonFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ingrid-gavshonHost: Valerie HopeWebsite:https://www.valeriehope.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/valeriehope/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/valeriehope/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/ValerieVHopeYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/@ConnecttoJoyProduction Support: Lucy Hope - Podcast Editing, Copy, and Publishing.#CircleOfHope #CourageousConversation #CuriosityConnects #GlobalCitizenship #EmpathyInAction | 1h 30m 09s | ||||||
| 12/2/25 | ![]() She Escaped Conflict, Now She Teaches Peace. | Ep. 14 COH | Valerie Hope | In this powerful episode of The Circle of Hope, I’m thrilled to welcome Linda Balola, a lecturer and peacebuilder whose journey from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Rwanda has been marked by transformation, learning, and the courage to shift entire communities toward healing. Our story together began serendipitously in Nairobi, Kenya, when Linda recognized me from my TEDx talk—a beautiful reminder of how messages ripple globally, touching lives we may never even imagine reaching.Linda opens up about her personal evolution, moving from deep-seated judgments and cultural stereotypes to embracing the transformative principles of Nonviolent Communication (NVC). We dig into how she not only teaches these practices at the Protestant University of Rwanda but lives them—helping young people from conflict-impacted backgrounds explore empathy, process trauma, and rewrite how they relate to themselves and others. Our candid conversation explores the role of needs, feelings, and strategies for authentic connection and dives into our own real-life struggles and triumphs using NVC (including my very human experience navigating emotions at Costco!). If you’re curious about building peace in divided communities, shifting personal relationships, or simply want to understand yourself and others more deeply, this heartfelt exchange is for you.Watch This If:You’re curious about how Nonviolent Communication (NVC) works in real lifeYou want practical strategies for transforming conflict—personally or within your communityYou're interested in peacebuilding, empathy, and authentic relationshipsYou’ve ever struggled with communicating your needs, expressing emotions, or breaking through stereotypesYou’re looking for inspiration from someone living and teaching hope amid challenging circumstancesQuotes to Remember:“Everything we do, we do to meet the needs... Even if you commit something that is not good, know that you still have something good inside.” – Linda Balola“Sometimes our needs are not meant to be met by other people. The need that we have are needs that we need to fulfill—we then select strategies that would address that need for us.” – Valerie Hope“Nonviolent Communication is not a therapy session, but it can heal.” – Linda Balola“Beyond right or wrong, we can still connect.” – Linda BalolaWhat You’ll Learn:The fundamental components of Nonviolent Communication and their practical applicationHow to shift from habitual judgment (“jackal”) to empathic (“giraffe”) listening and expressionThe importance of identifying and owning your own needs in moments of conflictHow transparency and self-connection foster resilience and understanding, even in trauma-impacted settingsWays to compassionately hold space for strong emotions—both your own and others’Why cultural and personal stereotypes can be overcome through intentional connectionHow even compliments and praise can be forms of judgment, and the value of specificity in affirmationContact Information:Guest: Linda BalolaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindaducc?igsh=am44NDBpOTFxNDNlLinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/linda-balola-sylvine-2a2b36183Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1HwgWCZrm1/?mibextid=wwXIfrHost: Valerie HopeWebsite:https://www.valeriehope.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/valeriehope/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/valeriehope/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/ValerieVHopeYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/@ConnecttoJoyProduction Support: Lucy Hope - Podcast Editing, Copy, and Publishing.#CircleOfHope #NonviolentCommunication #PeaceBuilding #Empathy #TransformConflict | 1h 16m 12s | ||||||

Rahim shares how a chance encounter at a Taco Bueno drive-thru opened doors to the hospitality industry and ultimately to a fulfilling career as Director of Human Resources.But this episode isn’t just about career moves. It’s a heartfelt exploration of what it means to give freely, the challenges of family and friendship, and the importance of making clear, actionable requests for support.
