131. Is Spiritual Bypassing The New Norm? [with Lauren Love]

131. Is Spiritual Bypassing The New Norm? [with Lauren Love]

What if the spiritual community isn’t actually as healed as it pretends to be? In today’s Friday’s With Friends episode, I’m joined by the incredibly wise, grounded and deeply refreshing Lauren Of Love for a conversation that honestly cracked a lot of things wide open. We’re diving into the realities of the coaching and spiritual industries, the pressure to always be “love and light,” the performative side of healing online, and what true embodiment actually looks like beneath the surface. This episode is raw, nuanced, thought-provoking and filled with moments that might challenge the way you’ve been taught to think about manifestation, spirituality, success, healing and even self-awareness itself. We talk about the dangers of bypassing your emotions, why so many people are disconnected from their truth, the rise of AI-generated authenticity online, nervous system-led business, and how to discern whether someone is truly doing the work… or just selling the aesthetic of healing. Lauren also shares beautiful insight into shadow work, abundance, somatic healing and the importance of learning to hold all parts of yourself- not just the polished, positive ones. This conversation felt less like an interview and more like sitting at a kitchen table unpacking the things nobody in the industry wants to say out loud. And honestly? I think it’s one of the most important conversations we’ve had yet. _____________________ Here’s A Little About Lauren + Her Journey: Lauren of Love is a teacher and spiritual guide for people on the self-healing journey life path.

130. I Reversed My Celiac Disease Diagnosis

Growing up, my family believed everything that the medical industry and media touted about being healthy- we followed the diet recommendations, seen the doctor when we were sick, and pumped our body full of medications. And yet, somehow, I was always sick as a child. Going all the way back to very young years, I remember suffering with pain and discomfort from chronic constipation- not to mention other health-related concerns. Then, 15 years ago, after going from doctor to doctor- I was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease that I was told I would have for the rest of my life. The culprit? Celiac Disease. And the only treatment given is a strict gluten-free diet. For years I followed the advice, until one day I started to get curious about the body's ability to heal- and I began doing my own research. Now here I am, years later, after trauma healing, lifestyle and dietary changes, and utilizing regular parasite cleanses- and I have completely reversed my diagnosis. Curious how I did it? I'm walking you through my entire experience in this episode and sharing exactly what steps I took.

129. The Inner Pharmacy: How The Body Knows To Heal [with Nicoletta Puccini]

Do you believe in the body’s innate ability to heal from disease, condition or injury without medical intervention? What if we told you that you have the ability to unlock your own inner pharmacy using the power of just your breath? Whether that sounds fascinating, or maybe even a little too woo-woo to you, you’re going to want to listen to this guest and get the full inside scoop. Because this episode? It’s about to blow your whole dam mind. In today’s Friday’s with Friends episode, we’re chatting with breathwork practitioner Nicoletta Puccini all about the power of breathing and the impacts that it can have on your body, mind and spirit. She shares with us her journey through chronic illness and mental health struggles, her experience with breathwork, and where she has now landed today because of it- with a glowing, regulated and happy AF nervous system. This episode is packed with incredible wisdom, no matter what stage of your healing journey you might find yourself at. So let’s dive in, shall we? _____________________ Here’s A Little About Nicoletta + Her Journey: Nicoletta is the founder of Chameleon Breathwork, a breathwork facilitator and myofascial release therapist with over 15 years of experience in somatic and nervous system–based work. She is the creator of Intuitive Nervous System Repatterning™, a practical, trauma-informed approach that integrates breathwork, myofascial release, and nervous system regulation to support people living with chronic stress, trauma, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. Nicoletta’s work is informed by lived experience. She grew up navigating complex family dynamics and mental illness, which required her to regulate not only her own nervous system but often those around her. As an adult and parent, she continues to apply this work in real time while supporting a child with mental health challenges, including OCD and compulsive patterns. This ongoing experience has shaped her ability to stay regulated under pressure, respond rather than react, and work effectively with highly sensitive and high-stress nervous systems. She works with both men and women who are carrying long-term responsibility, trauma, or nervous system overload—often people who have tried traditional approaches and are still stuck in survival mode. Nicoletta’s focus is not on catharsis or performance, but on building regulation, capacity, and stability in the body so people can function, relate, and make decisions from a grounded state. Her work bridges applied neuroscience, somatic therapy, and hands-on bodywork, with an emphasis on real-world integration rather than theory. She facilitates private sessions, group experiences, and longer-term programs designed to help individuals and families create more regulated, resilient nervous systems over time.
