The World Needs Your Medicine

At some point, the inner work has to lead somewhere. The nervous system regulation, trauma processing, therapy sessions - all of it eventually has to translate into a life you actually want to live.This episode is about that bridge. Today I'm joined by Sarah Evangeline - author, life coach, spiritual guide, and founder of The Soul-Talk Method. With a Master's in Counseling and Life Coaching, Sarah has guided over 200 people through inner child healing, embodiment practices, and releasing the emotional pain that keeps us stuck. Her work is rooted in one mission: helping people feel safe within themselves again so they can experience true joy and peace.Sarah and I dropped into a tender and honest conversation about what it really takes to rebuild your life from the inside out. She shared her journey through religious trauma, abusive family dynamics, relationships that kept her small, and the moment she finally heard the words: "You're allowed to ask yourself what you want." We talked about what it means to grieve the life you thought was good enough, to make decisions before you feel ready, and to stop waiting for your flaws to disappear before you let yourself be loved.One theme that kept surfacing was this: permission is the doorway. Not perfection or having everything all figured out. Just the simple, radical act of allowing yourself to feel good - and trusting that you're already closer to yourself than you were before you gave yourself that gift.We also talk about:How childhood patterns create distorted blueprints for love and worthinessThe moment Sarah realized "this can't be my life" and started making decisions anywayLeaving religion and reclaiming your relationship with God on your own termsWhy trauma doesn't have to dictate the rest of your lifeThe power of grieving the old version of you while stepping into the newInner child work, breath work, and connecting to your higher selfHow to cultivate peace as a frequency in your daily lifeEpisode-Related Resources:Read the Lauren of Love blog post for this episode!Listen to the referenced Episode with Krista Williams (EP: 6)Listen to the referenced Episode with Patricia Ode (EP: 13 )Lauren of Love Resources: Join the Magic App with dozens of courses, resources, and a private community! ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://laurenoflove.com/app⁠⁠⁠⁠Freebies, courses, blog: ⁠⁠⁠⁠laurenoflove.com⁠⁠⁠⁠IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@laurenoflove⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grab our free Manifestation Sheets!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our weekly Magic Notes insiders list!⁠Guest Resources:Sarah's Instagram: @iamsarahevangelineCheck Out Sarah's Soul Talk Program!

There's a moment many of us reach where we realize we've been abandoning ourselves in service to everyone else… and something deep inside finally says, enough.That's where this conversation begins.Today I'm joined by Erin Gallagher - author, CEO and Founder of HYPE WOMEN: a system-challenging sisterhood of women building collective wealth. Erin's inclusive ecosystem unlocks women's access to human, social, financial, political and spiritual capital. Karma is their currency. Hype is their constancy. Creator of the global Hype Women Movement, Erin is a speaker, mother, intersectional feminist, abortion beneficiary, yogi and witch. Before building this movement, she spent 15 years climbing the corporate ladder in marketing and PR - until she walked away from everything she thought she wanted and began the messy, beautiful process of rebuilding her life on her own terms.Erin and I dropped into a deep honest conversation about what it really costs to outgrow your old life - the relationships that fall away, the identity that has to die, and the grief that nobody talks about when they sell you on "growth." We explored what it looks like to stop performing, stop controlling, and finally let yourself be seen in the middle of the mess.One of the things that struck me most was this: so many of us are afraid to receive the very love and celebration we're starving for. We've been told lies about ourselves for so long that when someone finally sees us, we think they must be wrong.By the end of this episode, my hope is that you feel permission to stumble as you grow, and navigate your own transformation - publicly, imperfectly, and without apology.We also talk about:The moment Erin told her husband "I am not the woman you married - and I never will be again"How control disguised as protection actually blocks joy and connectionRenegotiating relationships as you evolveWhy some people prefer you struggling - and what to do about itThe lie women are told about martyrdom and doing it all aloneEpisode-Related Resources:Read the Lauren of Love blog post for this episode!⁠Listen to the referenced Episode for Amanda Bucci Listen to the referenced Episode for Kelly ChaseLauren of Love Resources: Join the Magic App with dozens of courses, resources, and a private community! ⁠⁠https://laurenoflove.com/app⁠⁠Freebies, courses, blog: ⁠⁠laurenoflove.com⁠⁠IG: ⁠⁠@laurenoflove⁠⁠⁠⁠Grab our free Manifestation Sheets!⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our weekly Magic Notes insiders list!⁠Guest Resources: Erin's Instagram: @erin.gallag.herErin's Book: Hype Women: Breaking Free From Mean Girls, Patriarchy, and Systems Silencing YouErin's Website: hypewomen.com

There's a version of yourself you might be afraid to let people see. A spiritual side that feels too personal, vulnerable, or "out there" to share with those around you.So many of us are moving through a reclamation of this aspect of ourselves right now - finding our own connection to spirit outside of the structures we were raised in, and wondering how to hold that truth without hiding it or forcing it on others. If you've been tiptoeing between who you're becoming and who you used to be, this episode is for you.Today I'm opening up about my own journey of coming into right relationship with my spirituality - from growing up in a strict Roman Catholic household where the body was shameful and God was someone to fear, to finding spirit on a mountaintop in Sedona, to walking the path of plant medicine and earth-based healing.What I've learned is that coming out of the spiritual closet isn't a single moment of declaration... It's a layered process - one that asks us to reclaim our inner child's knowing, embrace the rebellious teenager within us, and slowly build the self-trust to stop seeking validation for experiences that are deeply, uniquely ours.I also talk about:Why spiritual expression feels so vulnerable (and where that fear really comes from)The childhood memories that shaped my connection to something greaterHow religious conditioning disconnects us from the body and the heartThe moment I found God on Cathedral Rock - and my dad's responseWhat happens when you start waking up but you're still in the same environmentThe two paths people take when spiritually awakening (hiding vs. over-identifying)Why compassion is the most important thing to wake up toHow plant medicine became part of my spiritual reclamationReleasing the codependent nature of our religious upbringingEpisode-Related Resources:Read the Lauren of Love blog post for this episode!Lauren of Love Resources:Join the Magic App with dozens of courses, resources, and a private community! https://laurenoflove.com/appFreebies, courses, blog: laurenoflove.comIG: @laurenofloveGrab our free Manifestation Sheets!Join our weekly Magic Notes insiders list!

What if staying in your 9-5 isn't a sign of playing small, but an act of self-trust and a gift for your nervous system?This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt the gap between what they know they're capable of and what they're presently doing. It's for those who have questioned whether they're allowed to build their business at their own pace, without burning everything down to prove they want it.Today I'm joined by Kelly Chase - an entrepreneur, social influencer, podcast host, speaker, and reality TV star best known for her role as a cast mate on the breakaway hit Netflix show, Love Is Blind Season 1. With over 350,000 followers on social media, Kelly uses her platform and voice to inspire others to "chase life" and make the most of where they are in their journey.Kelly is a voice for women navigating identity shifts, emotional growth, and elevated self-trust. After years of personal transformation - healing attachment patterns, rewiring subconscious beliefs, and learning to live from a more regulated nervous system - she now shares insights on feminine embodiment, love, wealth, and lifestyle from a place of lived experience. Her work invites women to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and become the version of them who feels safe, grounded, and deeply aligned. She ultimately teaches women how to say "No" to the wrong things and "Yes" to the right things so they too can live a more purpose-led, happy, healthy, and wealthy life.Together, we explore the messy middle of entrepreneurship - the shame of inconsistent income, the exhaustion of performing success, and the quiet courage it takes to set boundaries around your own growth. Kelly shares openly about her panic attacks, the moment she finally chose herself, and why she refuses to leave her nine-to-five until she feels truly grounded.What emerges is a rich conversation about self-abandonment - how easy it is to lose yourself chasing trends, algorithms, and other people's definitions of success. And how the real work is staying true to who you are, even when it feels like everyone else has it figured out.If you've ever felt frustrated with yourself for not being further along, this episode will remind you that clarity is layered, healing takes time, and your pace is not a reflection of your potential.We also talk about:The "knowing-doing gap" and why information alone doesn't create changeHow Kelly's nervous system crashed after Love Is Blind airedThe difference between creative influence and creative control on social mediaWhy Kelly stopped doing health coaching and pivoted her entire businessSetting boundaries as an act of empowerment, not limitationKelly's new program "Becoming Her" launching in 2026Episode-Related Resources:Related Lauren of Love blog post!Lauren's Interview on Chase Life With Kelly Lauren of Love Resources:Join the Magic App: ⁠laurenoflove.com/app⁠Freebies, courses, blog: laurenoflove.comIG: ⁠@laurenoflove,⁠ ⁠⁠@theworldneedsyourmedicine⁠⁠Grab our free Manifestation Sheets!Join our weekly Magic Notes insiders list!Guest Resources:Kelly's Instagram: @chaselifewithkelly, @chaselifewithkellypodcastSend Kelly a DM to learn more about her group coaching programs releasing this year!Kelly's Website: https://www.chaselifewithkelly.comTikTok: @iamkellychase YouTube: https://youtube.com/@chaselifewithkellyBrands Featured in our Launch Giveaway:Astro planner and journal from ⁠⁠@magic_of_i⁠⁠Mushroom support from ⁠⁠@goldenrulemushrooms⁠⁠Hair, longevity, and gut health by ⁠⁠@joiwomenswellness⁠⁠Dream support and self love candles ⁠⁠@animamundiherbals⁠⁠Ceremonial cacao from ⁠⁠@keithscacao⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠@cacaoceremony⁠⁠Spirit mamas oracle by ⁠⁠@victoriamargauxnielsen⁠⁠Chips by ⁠⁠@masa_chips⁠⁠Oils from ⁠⁠@vibrantblueoils⁠⁠Medicine from ⁠⁠@fourvisionstribe⁠⁠Supplement Gummies from ⁠⁠@curednutrition⁠⁠Hype Women by ⁠⁠@erin.gallag.her ⁠⁠

What happens when you've spent your whole life at war with your body? When the cues it gives you like hunger, pleasure, and intuition have been muted for so long that you've forgotten how to hear them?That's the territory we explore in today's conversation...I'm joined by Krista Williams - co-founder of Almost 30, a global community and brand dedicated to empowering people through life's transitions. As co-host of the critically acclaimed Almost 30 podcast, she's become a leading voice in spirituality and wellness. She also co-created Morning Microdose, a top-rated daily inspiration podcast. Krista leads luxury wellness retreats and has helped thousands through her transformational courses, The Life Edit and Metamorphosis. Her first book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide to a Life You Love for the Next Decade and Beyond, co-written with Lindsey Simcik, is out now.Krista and I dropped into a raw, honest conversation about what it actually takes to heal your relationship with your body - not through another diet or biohack, but through feeling your feelings, releasing codependent patterns, and creating a relationship with yourself that isn't filtered through anyone else's beliefs or expectations.So many women are carrying grief, sadness, and disappointment they've had to hide because they feel like no one can hold them. The path back to liberation is about finally letting yourself feel what you've been suppressing. We also talk about:How childhood programming around weight and food shapes our relationship with our bodiesThe connection between codependency and emotional eatingWhy feeling your feelings is the first level of shedding energetic weightInternal Family Systems and parts work as a healing toolThe mother wound and its impact on how we nourish ourselvesWhat true body liberation actually looks and feels likeEpisode-Related Resources:Read the Lauren of Love blog post for this episode!Lauren of Love Resources:Join the Magic App: ⁠laurenoflove.com/app⁠Freebies, courses, blog: laurenoflove.comIG: @laurenoflove,⁠ ⁠⁠@theworldneedsyourmedicine⁠⁠Grab our free Manifestation Sheets!Join our weekly Magic Notes insiders list!Guest Resources:Almost 30 Podcast:⁠ https://www.instagram.com/almost30podcast⁠Krista's Instagram: ⁠@itskrista⁠Krista's Metamorphosis Program: ⁠https://itskrista.com/metamorphosis Brands Featured in our Launch Giveaway:Astro planner and journal from ⁠⁠@magic_of_i⁠⁠Mushroom support from ⁠⁠@goldenrulemushrooms⁠⁠Hair, longevity, and gut health by ⁠⁠@joiwomenswellness⁠⁠Dream support and self love candles ⁠⁠@animamundiherbals⁠⁠Ceremonial cacao from ⁠⁠@keithscacao⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠@cacaoceremony⁠⁠Spirit mamas oracle by ⁠⁠@victoriamargauxnielsen⁠⁠Chips by ⁠⁠@masa_chips⁠⁠Oils from ⁠⁠@vibrantblueoils⁠⁠Medicine from ⁠⁠@fourvisionstribe⁠⁠Supplement Gummies from ⁠⁠@curednutrition⁠⁠Hype Women by ⁠⁠@erin.gallag.her ⁠

What would it feel like to stop hiding the parts of yourself you were taught to suppress?For so many women, the sensual, expressive, and untamed parts of who we are get pushed down early - through comments about our bodies, messages about how to be "good," and the process of learning that certain parts of us made other people uncomfortable. And so we adapted. We dimmed. We performed. Now… we rewrite it all.Today I'm joined by Emily Michele - a certified Somatic Practitioner and neuroscience-informed life and success coach who guides high-performing women back into their bodies, their power, and their truth. Her work blends female nervous system regulation, shadow integration, and embodied leadership to help women upgrade their standards and self-concept, awaken their potential, and take aligned action.A former corporate finance executive turned multi-six-figure entrepreneur and soon-to-be mother of four, Emily has lived through perfectionism, over-functioning, and self-silencing - teaching from embodiment, not just theory. Her work is a beautiful rebellion back to your dark side, the side you've been taught by society to shame, suppress, and dissociate from - but it's the power that unlocks the next level of expansion.Emily and I got into deep waters in this one - what the dark feminine actually is beyond the Instagram aesthetic, how shame gets stored and passed down through lineages, and what it really takes to soften when your whole life has been built on control and independence. We also talked about what shifts in your relationships and intimacy when you finally feel safe in your own body.One thread that kept weaving through our conversation: the healing we're here to offer others is usually the healing we've had to walk through ourselves. And the parts we rejected the longest often hold the most power.The medicine of this episode will inspire you to welcome all of yourself back home - the messy, the wild, and the parts still waiting to be seen.We also talk about:Why so many women carry shame in their hips and womb spaceThe difference between performing the dark feminine and actually living from herHow to regulate your nervous system when your body has been stuck in fight or flight for yearsWhat changes in your intimacy when you feel safe to be expressedSoftening out of the "I don't need anyone" identityEpisode-Related Resources:Read the Lauren of Love blog post for this episode!Lauren's Plant Medicine RetreatLauren of Love Resources:Join the Magic App: ⁠laurenoflove.com/app⁠Freebies, courses, blog: laurenoflove.comIG: @laurenoflove,⁠ ⁠⁠@theworldneedsyourmedicine⁠⁠Grab our free Manifestation Sheets!Join our weekly Magic Notes insiders list!Guest Resources:Emily's Instagram: @its_emilymicheleClick here to see Emily's offerings!

There was a moment years ago during meditation when I heard a sentence that ignited a spark deep in my spirit: The world needs your medicine. I didn’t fully understand it at the time, but it stayed with me. It became the anchor for my work, and ultimately - the foundation for this entire podcast… This is where we begin.In this first episode of The World Needs Your Medicine, we’re grounding into the heart and intention of this show. At its core, this podcast is about remembering the gifts we carry, being honest about the challenges that shape us, and creating a space where real stories and lived experiences become medicine for all of us.Today I take you through the key moments that shaped my own path: leaving my job in television news, navigating the unraveling of an abusive marriage, moving through chronic illness, and stepping into spiritual healing. These were the seasons that forced me to peel back the layers, look at my own resistance, and understand why so many of us doubt our power just as we’re being called to use it.I also talk about: What you can expect from future episodes The internal challenges that show up when you step toward your purpose The process of healing through shared stories and honest conversationsHow other people’s experiences can activate your own growthLauren of Love Resources:Join the Magic App: ⁠laurenoflove.com/app⁠Freebies, courses, blog: ⁠laurenoflove.com⁠IG: @laurenoflove,⁠ ⁠⁠@theworldneedsyourmedicine⁠⁠⁠Grab our free Manifestation Sheets!⁠⁠Join our weekly Magic Notes insiders list!Brands Featured in our Launch Giveaway:Astro planner and journal from ⁠⁠@magic_of_i⁠⁠Mushroom support from ⁠⁠@goldenrulemushrooms⁠⁠Hair, longevity, and gut health by ⁠⁠@joiwomenswellness⁠⁠Dream support and self love candles ⁠⁠@animamundiherbals⁠⁠Ceremonial cacao from ⁠⁠@keithscacao⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠@cacaoceremony⁠⁠Spirit mamas oracle by ⁠⁠@victoriamargauxnielsen⁠⁠Chips by ⁠⁠@masa_chips⁠⁠Oils from ⁠⁠@vibrantblueoils⁠⁠Medicine from ⁠⁠@fourvisionstribe⁠⁠Supplement Gummies from ⁠⁠@curednutrition⁠⁠Hype Women by ⁠⁠@erin.gallag.her ⁠
