  • Why Smart, Self-Aware People Still Struggle in Love (The Brain Hijack™ Explained)

    Why Smart, Self-Aware People Still Struggle in Love (The Brain Hijack™ Explained)
    Feb 5 2026
    You can be emotionally intelligent, self-aware, and deeply committed to growth — and still find yourself shutting down, overthinking, or walking on eggshells in love. In this episode of The Prosperity Lounge, Joey Ruffalo sits down with Diane McDowell, therapist-turned-coach and creator of the Brain-to-Heart Code™, to unpack why that disconnect isn’t a failure — it’s wiring. Diane explains what she calls The Brain Hijack™: the nervous system’s survival reflex that quietly takes over in relationships, even when everything looks “healthy” on the surface. Together, they explore why communication tools often fail, why emotional safety matters more than effort, and how self-leadership — not partner-fixing — is the real path to deeper connection. This conversation is for high-achieving, emotionally aware people who’ve done the work… but still feel off-center in love. 🎧 In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why emotional shutdown isn’t a flaw — it’s protection • What’s really happening in the brain during conflict or disconnection • Why self-awareness doesn’t automatically create safety • How emotional wiring affects love, money, and decision-making • A practical first step to interrupting the Brain Hijack™ 🔗 Want to go deeper? Diane created a short, powerful starting point for listeners: 👉 https://www.powerfulquestionscoaching.com/the-brain-to-heart-mini-course Join us in the Lounge! Until next time — stay faithful, stay fearless, and remember: freedom lives where faith and action meet.

  • Rethinking Homeownership: How Innovation Is Unlocking the Next Generation of Buyers | Steven Rosasmilia

    Rethinking Homeownership: How Innovation Is Unlocking the Next Generation of Buyers | Steven Rosasmilia
    Feb 3 2026
    Millions of financially responsible Americans are locked out of homeownership — not because they’re risky, but because the system hasn’t kept up with reality. In this episode of The Prosperity Lounge, Joey Ruffalo sits down with Steven Rosasmilia, founder of IMEX USA, to discuss a groundbreaking new approach to mortgage insurance designed for credit-worthy, first-time buyers with “thin” credit files. Steven shares how this new model challenges decades-old assumptions about risk, credit, and access — and how it could unlock an estimated $150 billion annually in new single-family home purchases without requiring money down or traditional PMI. This conversation goes beyond mortgages. It’s about leadership, responsibility, and what it takes to build systems that expand opportunity instead of restricting it. 📌 Learn more about IMEX: https://www.imex.one 📌 Subscribe to The Prosperity Lounge on YouTube and your favorite podcast platform 📌 Join the free Prosperity Lounge community for continued conversations on money, business, leadership, and wellness
