What lights you up? When was the last time you actually stopped to ask yourself that question, and really listened to the answer?

Somewhere between the responsibilities, expectations, challenges, and everyday demands of life, it's easy to lose touch with the part of ourselves that feels truly alive. But what if your inner spark hasn't gone anywhere? What if it's simply waiting for you to reconnect with it?

We're talking with Stephanie James, psychotherapist, transformational coach, author, filmmaker, speaker, and spiritual seeker, about what it really means to live a life filled with more joy, meaning, connection, and possibility.

Through her work and her own personal journey, Stephanie has discovered that reconnecting with ourselves doesn't necessarily require a dramatic life overhaul. In this conversation, Stephanie shares practical ways to navigate anxiety, release emotions that may be keeping us stuck, quiet the stories we tell ourselves, and make our own well-being a priority, without the guilt.

She also takes us into some fascinating spiritual territory, sharing personal experiences that have shaped her understanding of life, death, and the possibility that our connections with the people we love continue beyond this physical world.

And here's what we love most: Even though Stephanie explores some of life's biggest mysteries in her latest book, Your Big Fat Juicy Life, her message is ultimately about how we choose to live right now.

In this episode, we're talking about:

• What your inner spark really is
• How life's experiences, expectations, and limiting beliefs can disconnect us from our true selves
• Simple breathing and heart-centered practices to help you reconnect with yourself
• How to move through anxiety and difficult emotions without letting them define you
• Why prioritizing yourself isn't selfish, it's essential
• The stories we tell ourselves and how to recognize when they may no longer be true
• Stephanie's personal spiritual experiences and what they've taught her about life, death, and connection
• What it actually means to live your own big, fat, juicy life

What happens when the life you’ve built no longer feels like the life you’re meant to live?

After spending two decades building an organization that helped thousands of young people heal trauma and break cycles of violence, humanitarian, educator, TEDx speaker, yogi and peace builder Hawah Kasat realized something big: his purpose hadn’t changed, but the way he was living it needed to.

That realization led him toward an entirely new chapter…and a new vision for healing ourselves, our communities and even our relationship with the Earth.

And then Hawah completely reframes something many of us think we understand: yoga. Spoiler: being flexible and doing downward dog is only a tiny piece of it.

We’re talking about how to know when it’s time to change direction, the power of stillness and listening to your intuition, why we’re constantly searching for the “next thing” to make us happy—and what the ancient wisdom of yoga can teach us about finding contentment and ultimately freeing ourselves from suffering.

This conversation may have you looking at your own path, and your yoga mat, very differently.

October 2026 is bringing BIG energy, and for the first time, we’re bringing intuitive astrologer Stevie Calista and intuitive tarot therapist Michelle Nolan together to help us make sense of it all.

As Stevie walks us through the astrology week by week, Michelle pulls cards in real time, and the way their messages align is kind of mind-blowing.

This month is asking us to get honest about what’s no longer working, notice where we’ve outgrown old patterns and systems, and listen closely to what our intuition already knows. With Venus and Mercury retrogrades, Pluto showing up again and again, and some powerful Scorpio energy in the mix, October invites deep reflection, release and transformation.

And underneath it all is one beautiful reminder: we are here to feel, to create, to connect, and to love our lives.

Get ready for a powerful month of becoming even more of who you’re here to be.
