922. Understand ADHD, anxiety, and how to rewire your brain
5 november 2026 · 1 uur 13 min
Angie Noack, a licensed professional counselor with Brain Code Centers, joins us for a conversation about personal growth, the nervous system, and emotional resilience. We explore how everyday habits + mindset shifts shape your brain's stress response—and the self-awareness that can help you change those patterns. Lees meer
After experiencing a traumatic brain injury at 19, Angie began to understand the brain's capacity for change. She shares how that experience led her into brain mapping + neurofeedback, and why the brain can stay stuck in patterns of anxiety long after the original stress has passed.
From technology + dopamine to self-talk + affirmations, we get into how repeated patterns are learned—and why changing them takes consistency, not a quick fix. Angie offers a hopeful reminder that your brain is not your identity, and that building new neural pathways is possible.
We also talk about:
Why Angie believes in mental wellness integration rather than the idea of work-life balance
The Enneagram 2 helper pattern, over-functioning, and feeling like you have to earn love by showing up for everyone
How early attachment patterns can influence your sense of worth + your relationship with stress
The overlap between ADHD-like symptoms + early trauma, and why Angie encourages looking beneath the label
Why working toward a goal can be more rewarding for the brain than getting an immediate dopamine hit
The role of sleep, circadian rhythm, movement, and blood sugar in brain health
How to create healthier technology boundaries for yourself + your children
Viktor Frankl's work on finding meaning in suffering + turning difficult experiences into service
Why the people around you matter—and the impact of speaking life into yourself + others

3 november 2026 · 1 uur 33 min
Cathy Heller, speaker + spiritual teacher, joins Krista to explore personal transformation + what happens when the identity you’ve built no longer fits. After her father’s death + an evacuation during the LA fires, Cathy began questioning the roles, busyness, and self-abandonment that had kept her disconnected from her own truth. Lees meer
She opens up about learning to receive love, releasing the need to control everything, and allowing a long relationship to evolve without resentment. She also shares the deeply personal signs + synchronicities she experienced after her father’s passing—and how grief invited her to soften, trust, and see life differently.
Krista + Cathy rethink manifestation as something deeper than getting the life you want: it’s about creating from your identity, living your divine assignment, and bringing more light to the world. They explore how to hear your inner guidance, become your own best friend, and build a life that feels aligned from the inside out.
We also talk about:
The Penny Lane synchronicity at a Cadillac dealership
Why you might be the Divine wink someone else is asking for

29 oktober 2026 · 35 min
In this solo episode, Krista turns a travel disaster into a lesson in personal growth + emotional resilience. Through the lens of Kabbalah, she shares the spiritual practices + mindset shifts that helped her stay grounded when everything went wrong—and trust that there might be more unfolding than she could see.

Krista also gets personal about dating, letting go of the need to make relationships happen, and learning to embrace a more receptive approach to love.

In this episode, Lindsey is joined by Krista Maas, founder of Nunona, the world's first organic, real-food prenatal and postnatal vitamin bite.

874. Turn “Someday” Dreams Into Today’s Reality: Your Personal Transformation Starts Here
28 mei 2026 · 1 uur 15 min
What if the life you keep waiting for doesn’t require a new version of you—but a deeper connection to the one you already are? In this conversation on personal transformation, author + self-healing expert Yasmine Cheyenne joins Lindsey to explore burnout, self-betrayal, and what it takes to stop postponing your dreams + start creating a life that feels aligned. Lees meer
Yasmine shares the emotional healing journey behind her “comeback era,” opening up about the moments when success, achievement, and doing everything “right” still left her feeling disconnected from herself. Together, Lindsey + Yasmine explore how perfectionism, comparison, and people-pleasing can pull us away from our truth—and how rebuilding self-worth starts with choosing yourself.
This conversation is a reminder that personal growth isn’t always about becoming someone new—it’s about returning to yourself, trusting your desires, and taking intentional steps toward the life you’ve been dreaming about.
We also talk about:
Reconnecting with your younger self
Why success can still feel unfulfilling
Comparison, perfectionism + self-betrayal
The fear of starting over later in life
Building self-trust through small daily steps
Boundaries, honesty + hard conversations
Grieving old versions of yourself
Redefining success on your own terms
Giving yourself permission to choose yourself
