    Feeling stuck? You might be closer to flow than you think.

  • Ep207 - From Trash Bags to Dignity: How Comfort Cases is Changing Foster Care

    Ep207 - From Trash Bags to Dignity: How Comfort Cases is Changing Foster Care
    Mar 18 2026

    What happens when a child is handed a trash bag instead of a sense of belonging? And what if that child grows up to change the system that failed him? In this powerful and special Podcasthon episode of HIListically Speaking, host Hilary Russo sits down with Rob Scheer, founder of Comfort Cases, to talk about trauma, resilience, and what it really means to restore dignity to children in foster care. From homelessness and heartbreak to building a global movement that has helped over 300,000 kids, Rob's story is the definition of turning pain into purpose. But this conversation is bigger than foster care. It's about empathy, community, remembering that we all have a role to play to walk each other home.

  • Ep206 - How to Stop Stress from Managing Your Life with Brett Cotter

    Ep206 - How to Stop Stress from Managing Your Life with Brett Cotter
    Mar 4 2026

    What if stress isn't the enemy… but the signal? In this episode, host Hilary Russo sits down with Brett Cotter, founder of Stress Is Gone, to explore what it really means to release emotional pain instead of powering through it. We talk about nervous system exhaustion, the layers underneath jealousy and fear, supporting veterans and first responders, and the often-overlooked impact of secondary trauma on helpers and healers. This conversation on HIListically Speaking is about safety, self-regulation, and remembering you were never broken to begin with. If you're feeling overwhelmed by the noise of the world, or your own inner critic, this one will feel like a reset.
