Hannah Smith: What Autism, Motherhood & Creativity Can Teach Us About Resilience

This conversation is FULL of hope and encouragement for anyone: 💙Who is walking through a season that feels overwhelming💙Who is parenting a child with unique needs 💙Who has ever felt isolated, exhausted, misunderstood, or unsure of how to move forward I sit down with the wonderful Hannah Smith - designer, entrepreneur, advocate, mother, and one of the most present-moment people I know. Hannah opens her heart about her journey parenting her son after his autism diagnosis, and how that experience transformed the way she lives, loves, creates, and shows up in the world. What began as sleepless nights and uncertainty slowly became a story of resilience, purpose, creativity, and unexpected joy. Together, we talk about: 💙 Learning to live in the present moment 💙 Why “yet” is one of the most powerful words we can hold onto 💙 The courage it takes to ask for help 💙 Pivoting instead of giving up 💙 Celebrating small wins that are actually very big wins 💙 Being gentle with ourselves and others 💙 Finding joy in the middle of life’s messiness This conversation reminded me that sometimes the very thing we think might break us becomes the thing that teaches us how to be present and live joyfully. I have no doubt Hannah’s story will encourage so many of you.

Liv McBride: Honoring the Gift of Health - Mind, Body and Spirit

Thank You, Father, for the opportunity to sit with the wonderful Liv McBride and have such an important conversation about what it TRULY MEANS to care for our health… mind, body, and spirit. 💙🙏 Liv brings such wisdom, compassion, and grounded truth as she shares the heart behind lifestyle medicine and why so many chronic illnesses may be connected to the everyday choices we make - from the food we eat, to the way we move, rest, manage stress, and care for ourselves. One of the most powerful reminders in this conversation? Our bodies are always speaking to us. So often, we wait until something feels “serious” before we begin paying attention… but Liv gently reminds us that healing and prevention can begin with one small choice at a time. A nourishing meal. A good night’s sleep. A walk outside. A moment to breathe. We talk about accountability, awareness, stress, ultra-processed foods, inflammation, and the incredible way our bodies are designed to heal when we begin giving them the support they truly need. This conversation is not about perfection.It’s about progress.It’s about learning to care for ourselves with intention, compassion, and grace.

Monica Tanner: Healing, Growing and Loving Better Together

Today, the incredible Monica Tanner joins us and shares what it truly means to create a marriage that is not just lasting - but deeply alive, joyful, and fun! Monica brings such honesty, warmth, and wisdom to this conversation as she reframes marriage not as something we simply “endure,” but as a SKILL we can learn, grow in, and intentionally nurture over time. We dive into what it means to move beyond resentment, miscommunication, and disconnection - and into a relationship built on curiosity, emotional safety, and conscious connection.  One of the most POWERFUL reminders in this conversation is this: differences are not the problem in marriage - they are often the very thing that creates depth, passion, and intimacy when we learn how to work with them. We also talk about the importance of coaching and support in relationships, just as we would in any other area of life where we want to grow and thrive. From communication and emotional safety, to the “big three” challenges of marriage - money, intimacy, and parenting - Monica reminds us that no couple is meant to navigate it all alone. This conversation invites us to embrace the humility of learning, the courage of asking for help, and the commitment of showing up for one another again and again.

Anat Peri: The Practice of Becoming Your Own Safe Place

Thank You, Father, for the opportunity to sit with the incredible Anat Peri and explore what it TRULY means to feel, heal, and live with intention. Anat brings such wisdom, grace and truth to the table as she walks us through the connection between our inner child, our nervous system, and the patterns we may not even realize are guiding our lives. Together, we explore what it means to move from survival, into conscious, aligned living. One of the most powerful reminders in this conversation? Our emotions are an INVITATION. We talk about how so many of us have learned to suppress what we feel, to push through, to stay “positive”… and yet, those very emotions we avoid are often the ones asking to be seen, heard, and released.  This conversation is filled with moments that will have you reflecting, softening, and perhaps even seeing yourself with a little more compassion. We speak about nervous system regulation, about the patterns we learned in childhood, and about how we can begin to work with our bodies instead of feeling like they are working against us.. THIS is your invitation to pause…  To get curious…  And to tend to yourself with compassion 💙🙏 Love and prayers, Carroll💙 🌍 Stay connected with me! ▪️ Newsletter: https://carrollpatrizi.com/contact [https://carrollpatrizi.com/contact]   ▪️Instagram:    https://shorturl.at/pYPX4 [https://shorturl.at/pYPX4]  ▪️Tiktok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@cpatrizi [https://www.tiktok.com/@cpatrizi]  ▪️Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/carroll.njpatrizi [https://www.facebook.com/carroll.njpatrizi]  ▪️LinkedIn: https://shorturl.at/cQ1UT [https://shorturl.at/cQ1UT]  ▪️Website: https://carrollpatrizi.com/ [https://carrollpatrizi.com/] 🌍 Connect with Anat Peri ▪️Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anat.peri/?hl=en [https://www.instagram.com/anat.peri/?hl=en]  ▪️Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/anat.peri.58/ [https://www.facebook.com/anat.peri.58/]  ▪️LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anat-peri/

Kadine Cooper: The Power of SURRENDER in Leadership and Self Awareness

There comes a moment when what once “worked” no longer feels right - and you know something has to shift. In this meaningful conversation, I’m joined by Kadine Cooper - executive coach, facilitator, speaker, and someone who is deeply committed to helping leaders realign with who they truly are. Kadine shares her journey from a 20-year career in HR to stepping out on her own, following that quiet (and sometimes not-so-quiet) inner knowing that her values were no longer aligned with the environment she was in. What followed was a path rooted in growth, courage, and a deep desire to help others lead from a place of clarity and purpose. We talk about what it really means to lead yourself first - because leadership doesn’t begin with a title, it begins with awareness. Kadine introduces her “Five F’s” - Faith, Family, Fun, Freedom, and Flexibility - and how grounding yourself in your values creates not only stronger leadership, but more sustainable and human-centered workplaces. In this episode, we explore: * The difference between reactive leadership and intentional leadership * How misalignment quietly impacts performance, culture, and well-being * SURRENDERING control and learning to trust your team * The importance of self-awareness and honest reflection * Creating space for others to grow, contribute, and lead * And how to recognize the early signs before a team - or a leader - burns out If you’ve ever felt stuck, stretched too thin, or disconnected from your purpose - this conversation will meet you right where you are.
