Viki is an energy healer and practitioner of The Source Cards, a system that uses the familiar 52-card playing deck as a tool for exploring personality patterns, relationships, life challenges, and personal growth.

What I find especially meaningful about Viki's story is that she didn't always have a strong relationship with her body. Despite being deeply intuitive from a young age, she spent years feeling disconnected from her physical self. Through her personal healing journey and an unexpected introduction to the cards by her now-husband, Alexander, she discovered a new way to understand herself and reconnect with the wisdom within.

In our conversation, Viki walks me through the four suits and what they represent, explains how our birth dates correspond to different cards, and even explores my own cards and what they might reveal about the work I'm doing in the world.

We also dive into something I care deeply about: the different ways we experience inner wisdom. Sometimes it's a physical sensation. Sometimes it's an emotion, an instinct, or a knowing we can't quite explain.

Whether you're familiar with this practice or hearing about it for the first time, I hope this conversation encourages you to stay curious, explore new perspectives, and deepen your relationship with yourself.

What can one man learn from listening to the stories of more than 800 women?

Brad Walsh, founder and host of the globally ranked Empowerography podcast, has dedicated the past six years to amplifying women's voices and sharing their stories with the world. But what makes his work so extraordinary isn't just the number of women he's interviewed. It's how deeply those conversations have transformed him.

I was so moved by Brad's story and the love he carries for the two women who shaped his life: his mother and grandmother. Their strength, sacrifices, and unwavering support inspired the work he does today. And when he shared how he continues to feel connected to his grandmother through the signs he believes she sends him, I was reminded of the beauty of trusting what we feel, even when we can't explain it.

Our conversation took us through some incredibly meaningful territory. We explored how confidence is built through action, why comparing ourselves to others keeps us stuck, and the powerful lessons Brad has learned about resilience, self-worth, and the importance of truly listening.

This conversation is a beautiful reminder that our stories are some of our greatest teachers, and when we create space to truly listen, we discover something new within ourselves.

I hope you'll listen with an open heart and take a moment to consider what the stories around you might be teaching you.

KC Baker has been pioneering a new approach to public speaking and leadership for over 16 years, helping women around the world find the courage to be fully seen, heard, and expressed. Through her work with WomanSpeak, she's creating spaces where women can move beyond fear, reconnect with their bodies, and discover the power of speaking from a place of authenticity.

KC holds a very special place in my own journey. She was one of the early voices who helped me understand that my body holds an intelligence I could trust. Her guidance helped me deepen my relationship with my own voice and find greater freedom in expressing what I know to be true.

We explore the connection between nature, the body, and our inner wisdom. KC shares how her own journey through fear and self-doubt led her to discover the freedom of authentic expression.

We talk about the importance of creating safety within ourselves, why being vulnerable can feel so frightening, and how the very moments that challenge us can become opportunities to discover who we're becoming.

One of my favorite reminders from this conversation is that self-doubt doesn't mean we're doing something wrong. Sometimes, it's a sign that we're in the middle of creating something meaningful.

I hope this conversation inspires you to listen a little more deeply, trust yourself a little more fully, and remember that your voice matters. You don't have to become someone else to be heard. You get to become more of who you already are.

Some people come into your life and leave a lasting imprint. Nancy Levin is one of those people for me.

I've had the privilege of knowing Nancy personally for many years, and I've witnessed firsthand her extraordinary leadership, wisdom, and commitment to helping others transform their lives.

Nancy is a seven-time bestselling author, Master Coach, and founder of Levin Life Coach Academy. She spent many years at Hay House working alongside some of the greatest voices in personal development, including Louise Hay and Wayne Dyer, and was mentored by the remarkable Debbie Ford. Today, she's a leader in the coaching world, guiding individuals, coaches, and leaders toward greater self-worth, freedom, and fulfillment.

What makes Nancy so extraordinary isn't simply what she's accomplished. It's what she's lived, what she's learned, and her willingness to share it all.

In this deeply personal conversation, Nancy opens up about some of the most painful chapters of her life, including the loss of her brother, the unraveling of her marriage, and the truths she was forced to confront about perfectionism, infidelity, people-pleasing, and abandoning her own needs.

At 45, the life she had worked so hard to hold together came apart. What followed was a profound journey of self-discovery, healing, and reinvention.

We explore the inner knowing she had ignored for years, the wisdom she gained through her most difficult experiences, and what it truly means to honor yourself, even when doing so changes everything.

Nancy's story is a powerful reminder that our greatest challenges can become our greatest teachers, and that it's never too late to create a life that feels like your own.

This conversation is filled with vulnerability, insight, and the kind of wisdom that can only come from within.

Laura Aura is a speaker, coach, and host of The Gutsy Podcast who helps women stop settling, overcome the mindset blocks holding them back, and make the bold moves they've been putting off. But Laura doesn't just teach people how to make gutsy decisions, she's lived them.

After 16 years of running a successful branding agency, Laura found herself completely disconnected from the business she once loved. Despite everything she'd built, her body was telling her it was time for a change. What followed was one of the most transformative decisions of her life: selling her business, letting go of a major entrepreneurial vision, and stepping into an entirely new chapter.

In this conversation with Jen Aks, Laura shares the emotional reality of walking away from something you've spent years building, the grief and liberation that can exist simultaneously, and why giving yourself permission to change is often the hardest first step. Together, they explore self-trust, intuition, fear, surrender, and how small, intentional decisions can lead to extraordinary transformation.

Because sometimes the most courageous thing you can do is admit that the life you've built no longer fits the person you've become.

Janet Tanguay is the founder and CEO of The Hammock Way of Life, a business strategist, author, and vision boarding expert who helps individuals, entrepreneurs, teams, and companies turn their dreams into something they can actually see, and begin moving toward. With more than 100 certified vision board coaches in her community, Janet has built her work around helping people create a life that feels as good as the one they imagine.

But Janet didn't always trust that inner knowing. From ignoring her gut as a child to staying in a career that left her stressed and physically worn down, she learned firsthand what happens when we stop listening to ourselves. Eventually, she made the decision to trust what her body was telling her, walk away from what wasn't working, and create a completely different path.

In this conversation with Jen Aks, Janet shares her approach to vision boarding, manifestation, visualization, gratitude, and taking small actions toward the future you want. They explore why simply wishing for something isn't enough, how our language and beliefs shape the way we approach our goals, and why getting specific about your vision can be so powerful. Most importantly, Janet reminds us that creating a dream life isn't just about putting pictures on a board, it's about learning to trust yourself and taking action.

Stacy Jagger is a therapist, author, speaker, and creator of the Mountain Method, an approach designed to help families, leaders, and executive teams step away from overwhelm, regulate their nervous systems, strengthen emotional intelligence, and create meaningful change. But the foundation of Stacy’s work comes from a deeply personal story. Pasted text

After growing up surrounded by alcoholism, instability, and chaos, Stacy spent years living in a constant state of nervous-system activation. In her early twenties, she followed an unexpected inner knowing and moved with her husband into an off-grid cabin built in 1850, with no electricity, running water, or indoor plumbing. There, sitting quietly on the porch for just 15 minutes, Stacy began discovering what it actually felt like to slow down, become present, and listen to her body. Pasted text

In this deeply personal conversation with Jen Aks, Stacy explores nervous-system regulation, digital detoxes, childhood patterns, money stories, parts work, and learning to trust your inner “no.”

Jadi Kindred is a Canadian bestselling author, host of The Dawn of Intuition podcast, intuition expert, wellness retreat host, and someone who has spent decades intentionally strengthening her connection to her own inner guidance. Today, she helps others find greater clarity, joy, confidence, authentic relationships, and trust in their own intuition.

In this conversation with Jen Aks, Jadi shares what it actually looks like to live an intuitive life, from annual 10-day silent meditation retreats to recognizing the different ways intuition communicates through hearing, seeing, feeling, and knowing. She also explains why intuition isn't necessarily something you're simply born with; it's a muscle that can be strengthened by starting small and learning to recognize the difference between inner guidance and mental chatter. Jadi also gets vulnerable about what happens when she doesn't listen to her intuition and the opportunities she's lost by allowing fear to override what she already knew.
