A powerful conversation between Leisa Peterson and Ayurvedic health coach Tessa Arnold reveals how ancient wisdom can transform modern health struggles. In just 6 weeks, Leisa experienced dramatic changes - from losing 10 pounds effortlessly to sleeping better and feeling more vibrant than she had in decades. But this isn't just another weight loss story. The interview dives into how our bodies aren't meant to live in constant discomfort - whether that's bloating, inflammation, low energy, or carrying extra weight. Tessa explains how Ayurveda, a 5,000-year-old "science of life," offers personalized solutions based on your unique body type (or "dosha"). What makes this conversation especially compelling is how it challenges common beliefs about dieting and restriction. One of the most fascinating revelations? When Leisa stopped snacking - a habit she'd maintained her entire life to manage blood sugar - her body actually began to thrive. As Tessa explains, "When the body no longer thinks it's starving, it lets go of all this extra weight and stress." The conversation takes an unexpected turn when they discuss how this isn't just about physical transformation. Both women share vulnerable insights about emotional healing, the mind-gut connection, and how changing your relationship with food can lead to profound self-trust. For anyone feeling stuck in their health journey or tired of one-size-fits-all solutions, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on what's possible when you work with your body instead of against it. Tessa's expertise and Leisa's real-world experience combine to create a conversation that's both practical and deeply inspiring. Whether you're curious about Ayurveda, struggling with persistent health issues, or simply ready for a different approach to wellbeing, this episode provides valuable insights about transforming your health from the inside out - without gimmicks or quick fixes.

I am pleased to be interviewing Amye Cole, a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in EMDR therapy. Today, we're discussing EMDR and how it helps with trauma and PTSD. EMDR therapy offers hope for individuals struggling with the lasting impact of traumatic experiences. By processing these memories and moving towards self-compassion and resilience, individuals can experience improved emotional well-being and deeper connections in their relationships. We're exploring: What is EMDR? EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a type of therapy that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences or distressing memories. How does EMDR work? EMDR involves bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping) while the individual focuses on a distressing memory. This process helps the brain reprocess the memory, moving it from a stuck, emotionally-charged state to a more adaptive, positive state. Is EMDR right for your situation? EMDR can be beneficial for individuals who have experienced traumatic events or have distressing memories that continue to impact their daily lives. Amye explains the importance of assessing an individual's "window of tolerance" before beginning EMDR therapy to ensure they can safely process the memory. How to get the most from EMDR therapy? Amye discusses the different formats of EMDR therapy, including weekly sessions and intensive programs. She also emphasizes the importance of finding a therapist with whom you feel safe and connected. Amye shares examples of how this incredible tool helps her clients change their lives for the better, offering hope to those struggling with the lasting impact of trauma. If you or someone you know is dealing with traumatic experiences, EMDR therapy may be a valuable path to healing and resilience.

Today, I'm speaking with copy-conversion expert Sage Polaris. We're discussing many fun things when it comes to copywriting to increase engagement with your community.  As you know, I prefer to get to know the person behind the business and today's conversation is no exception. Enjoy.   Sage shares with us her insights: “If things were not that different in the market right now, if there, wasn't inflation. I probably would have done the all-access pass again, and been good with that right. But you're right. There is this like - Oh, I keep wanting to change things to refresh my energy. But I think if something's working, it's one of the hardest things to do to just keep going with the thing that's working. And the one part that gives me a little solace, as I do that at like, keep the same offers year after year is to know, like my audience is changing like. Yes, there's people who have been with me for years and years and years, and I love up on them in my own way. And like, give them opportunities to continue to work with me. And there's a lot of new people who have never seen the thing that I've launched four rounds before. We're like brand new to it. They have no idea, so I keep them in mind, too. I'm like - I don't want to change things too much, because these new people are just, are going to be as excited as the other people from the last four rounds. Right? So I think it's a reconnection to understanding again who your audience is, and where their mindsets at, and meeting them where they're at…”   “So I do think, though, like if I had learned to be an energetic match to those goals, I, you know, could have received more easily. And I think that's the work that we can do with our mind right, and is very powerful. It's like you, don't have to have actually received the money to feel like you've received the money. So even one of my friends, we use this voice messaging app, and we'll send each other messages back and forth, and we'll finish like a task we need to do in our business to lead to the next launch or whatever, and we'll prepay ourselves like Yup, I finish that task. I'm paying myself fifty thousand dollars for that today. So those types of things like learning to tap into the feeling of that money before it comes, or even the feeling of people being in my programs before they're actually there. It doesn't always have to be attaching yourself to the money right like you can start to feel into and pre celebrate people being in something that you're going to offer in the future and celebrating it before, like taking myself to a nice meal, you know, hanging out with friends, going in a boat right with my family before the money is there. That has really helped me as well, because it's that feeling again, like I already feel abundant. I already feel wealthy just by being able to share this with my family right now.”   “And I kind of think of them as a triangle so the audience on the bottom, the offer in the middle of the copy at the top. I think the audience part is the most important first. It's surprisingly like I put it before the messaging right to have a good strategy to build that audience. So for me that evolution, like our last no-charge copy course that we did, we had thirty-seven hundred people sign up that broke all our records like we didn't expect that many. I had a good stretch goal that was near that number, but that was great. And what changed that specific launch though, was I was very, I had one question that I or not one question. I had one statement that I told myself right before that launch. I said, let no come from other places, not yourself, because I wanted to ask people to partner with me like we're talking about. And there was a hesitation of like not wanting to send the messages to people to ask them to help me launch this, right? So for me, that was a big thing like mindset-wise. Let no come from other places, not yourself like - make the asks. Do the things that are going to be uncomfortable that you think everyone's going to say no to you and just do it anyways…”   Sage Polaris has written high converting copy for more than 400+ clients earning them millions of dollars.

Today, I have a good fortune of interviewing the founder of Mind Movies, Natalie Ledwell. Natalie has been in the self-help genre for many years. She's talking today about the love attraction, about the ability to envision and manifests the things that you most want. Talking about her journey of starting her company, the success that she had and what she's done differently when she has built her business over time. I love this conversation. It was so fun to meet Natalie for the first time and I know you're going to love it. Enjoy.   Natalie shares with us: “You know, I grew up in a country town. I'm one of eight kids. I grew up in Australia, and I get to live this incredible life, you know, reaching ten million people. Now, helping children around the world, and really a life far exceeded any of my expectations. So, it doesn't matter how old you are. It doesn't matter what your childhood was, where you live, where you came from, where you're going. None of that matters, because we all have the ability to manifest what it is that we want, And if you apply the formula, if you get clear about what you want, if you can see that, and you keep taking consistent action towards it, you can create anything that you want. And I am living proof of that. So you know, like I said it doesn't matter who you are, where you're from. You can do this…”   Dame Natalie Ledwell is a bestselling author, host of the podcast, Not Over, Just Different, co-host of the cable TV show WAKE UP, and founder of Mind Movies, the hugely successful and revolutionary online Personal Development company that has reached over 10 million people worldwide.   Right now, she has launched her groundbreaking Social and Emotional Learning curriculum entitled, "Personal Growth Studies", into schools here in the US, which is designed to empower youth from ages 5-18 years to live fulfilling and successful lives with high self-esteem and a vision for a bright future.    In October 2018, Natalie traveled to Liberia, where she met with government officials and launched Personal Growth Studies into a number of schools, which is now in its second year, working with over 1000 students.    In 2020, Natalie had the immense honor of being Knighted by the Orthodox Order of St John, a humanitarian group recognizing individuals who are not only doing great work but who have a big vision of the work they want to complete in the world helping others.

Today, I'm interviewing Gary Walstrom who is the founder of the company called Culture Index.  His company helps companies ensure they have the right people in the right jobs.  To do this you as the employer and the employee take a quick quiz and then you meet with experts from Culture Index to help you understand what's going on. Do you have the right person or is there someone else out there that would be better fit. Culture Index was originally born out of a person's desire to help people achieve greatness like they never knew they could. And, it has become an integral business strategy for over 3500 business leaders across virtually every industry. Enjoy.   Gary shares: “...and that is, people are the most important things in all companies, not just some companies. When you look at a company, it has great people doing great jobs. There's nothing that will stop them from achieving all the goals that have ever been set for. It's the companies who think about, you know, the famous book love to great, and they think about other things they've written or scene. And then they get too attracted to some of that without looking at really information that's objective and say - well, maybe I'm kind of comfortable where I am and I go on. No, because see the people who frustrate you are the ones who are always non-performing. If you find all people in the company, they're all performing. Then success comes from everybody, because the people love what they do. They're being managed well at what they do. The company is being successful, but so is the human being being successful. They want to contribute. In other words, people today don't want to just do this and do this. In other words, they're looking for how they can make an impact on life. How can they make an impact on the world…”   Gary Walstrom was born and raised in Iowa on a small farm until he went to college to study Veterinary Medicine. After two years, he went in to the military—Air Force and became a Russian Linguist with a Top Secret Cryptographic clearance. Upon leaving, he finished his college degree in Business Administration with an emphasis on Statistics and Accounting.    Gary began working with assessments in the hiring and training of restaurant staff. He shortly thereafter became an Executive Advisor, working with Entrepreneurial companies; educating them through a process of Executive Workshops to be more capable of making good human decisions by understanding who the person really is; what motivates them and drives them to succeed.   He then began working with Louis Janda, a clinical Psychologist, test builder to build him the Culture Index Instrument for business consultative purposes. Today, there are 75 people around the US, Advising Executives on how to better manage their human capital, grow their top line and bottom line, while scaling their business.   Learn more about Gary Walstrom:   LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/gary-w-walstrom-a667a7221
