In this episode, we dive deep into her personal journey, starting with what it was like growing up as a woman in Lebanon. She shares how she used to live in survival mode just trying to meet strict societal standards, and how moving to the US finally gave her the freedom to cut those cords and discover her true self.

We also talk about some incredibly powerful mindset shifts. Natalie explains a brilliant technique for practicing gratitude: zooming out and watching your life from afar, almost as if it were a movie. This simple shift helps you see the abundance around you that you might otherwise miss when you're hyper-focused on what's lacking. We also discuss a beautiful piece of wisdom from her father—that contentment is an "endless treasure"—and how being truly grateful for what you have doesn't mean you lose your ambition for more. Finally, we even touch on the profound, grounding gratitude that comes from simply having food on your plate.

It’s a wonderful chat about shifting from feeling like life is just happening to you, to becoming an active, joyful participant in your own journey. I can't wait for you to hear this one, so let's dive right in!

Today, I am sitting down with a truly incredible human being, April Seifert. April is a life design strategist, but the journey she took to get there is what will really blow you away. By the time she was just 11 years old, she lost her father to cancer, bringing her face-to-face with the reality of human mortality at an incredibly young age. And if that wasn't enough, shortly after his passing, she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, leading to terrifying periods where she temporarily lost her vision and even her ability to walk.

But here is why I am so excited for you to hear this conversation: instead of letting these immense hardships make her bitter, April used them to cultivate a profound, intense appreciation for the present moment. She shares an unforgettable story about how finally getting her vision and mobility back made her realize just how easy life actually is—and how the things we constantly take for granted, like simply walking across a room, are actually massive gifts.

In this episode, April challenges us. She asks us not to wait for a tragedy, a loss, or a severe diagnosis to start living intentionally. She walks us through exactly how to close the gap between ourselves and our own mortality, so we can stop putting our dreams on hold and start actively designing the life we actually want to live.

08:30 – A Childhood Interrupted by Loss: April opens up about her Midwestern upbringing and the heartbreak of watching her father battle colon cancer, ultimately losing him when she was only 11 years old.

19:45 – The Tennis Court Epiphany: April shares a profound memory of trying to play tennis with her mom while physically impaired. She reflects on the sheer relief of regaining her vision and mobility, leaving her with the lifelong perspective that, comparatively, "life is easy."

24:10 – Closing the Gap with Our Mortality: A deep discussion on human nature. April explains why we constantly try to put distance between ourselves and the concept of death, and why accepting our finite timeline is the key to truly living.

29:30 – The Blueprint for Life Design: April breaks down her actionable framework for changing your life: 1) Radical self-awareness, 2) Identifying the points of friction in your current day, and 3) Intentionally designing your ideal state.

34:15 – Waking Up from the "Sleepwalk": A striking reality check on why we shouldn't wait for a tragedy to start living. April asks a powerful question to shift your mindset on a bad day: What would a loved one who has passed away give to have the "boring" day you're wasting today?

37:30 – Expressing Deep Gratitude: April reflects on the people she is most thankful for right now, highlighting her incredibly resilient mother, her endlessly supportive husband, and her two young daughters.

So, what did he do? He walked away from it all. Nimo made the life-altering decision to step off the treadmill of achievement to seek a deeper purpose. That search eventually led him to India, where he has spent years working with children in underprivileged slum communities. Today, he creates beautiful, deeply meaningful songs that he gives away entirely for free through his project, Empty Hands Music.

In this episode, we dive deep into his transformation and explore:

• The Gratitude Equation: How actively practicing the simple act of complaining less directly increases the gratitude we feel in our daily lives.
• Gaining a Macro-Perspective: Taking a step back to view our personal struggles within the massive, 4.5 billion-year history of the Earth, and how that shift can instantly dissolve our anxieties.
• The Power of Service: How losing yourself in the service of others—a lesson Nimo draws from Mahatma Gandhi—is actually the most profound way to find out who you truly are.
• Actionable Practices: Real, daily habits you can use to anchor yourself in gratitude, whether it is taking a moment of silence before a meal or intentionally playing "gratitude games" with the kids in your life.

Nimo’s energy is incredibly uplifting, and his message carries a vibration that I know will leave you feeling lighter and more inspired. This isn't just an interview; it's an invitation to look at your own life through a profoundly different, more appreciative lens.

I hope this conversation brings as much joy and perspective to your day as it did to mine. Let’s dive in!

• The Power of "Not Being Alone": Mike shares a poignant memory from his first week of college, crying on the phone with his parents, and the life-changing realization that he wasn't the only one struggling behind closed doors.
• Gratitude as a Grounding Tool: We talk about how gratitude can keep you anchored during dark moments, but also the "double-edged sword" of feeling guilty for struggling when your life looks "perfect" on paper.
• Writing Through the Struggle: Mike opens up about his new book, Redemption—a sci-fi story about 20 young adults on a spaceship—and how he used it to process his own journey through clinical depression.
• Finding Perspective: We explore how the simple act of serving others and volunteering can actually help pull you out of your own head and improve your mood.

Mike is a great example of how you can be a high-achieving, seemingly "happy" person while still fighting these internal battles. I hope this conversation reminds you that no matter what you’re going through, you are not alone, and there is always a path forward.

I really think you’re going to find a lot of value in Mike’s story. Let’s jump in!

Jennifer’s story is nothing short of a modern comeback: after a painful pregnancy, a traumatic surgery, a painful divorce, and even selling her first skincare company for a dollar, she emerged from rock‑bottom with a renewed sense of gratitude and a fierce, self‑generated gumption. She’ll share how vulnerability—letting herself be truly seen and asking for help—became the catalyst that turned her lowest points into fuel for growth.

In this conversation we’ll explore:

- The power of vulnerability: why opening up to others unlocks gratitude and creates deeper connections. 

- Everyday gratitude rituals: morning gratitude moments, a dedicated “Thursday night” retreat, and mindful eating lessons learned at a Buddhist monastery. 

- Balancing ambition and interdependence: how to stay driven without burning out, and why a “full cup” lets you give more generously. 

- Gumption in action: embracing resourcefulness, perseverance, and an inner fire that keeps you moving forward, no matter the obstacles.

Whether you’re navigating your own setbacks, looking for practical ways to weave gratitude into a hectic schedule, or simply craving inspiration to keep the flame alive, this episode offers raw honesty, actionable habits, and a reminder that the most resilient people are often the ones who dare to be vulnerable.

Deborah shares an unforgettable personal story: a three‑month nightmare in which she lost her home, faced her husband’s emergency open‑heart surgery, and juggled a startup while scrambling for shelter. In the chaos, she turned to a simple yet profound practice—counting the small gifts of each day: the ability to sit up, the sight of a green leaf, the step forward. That daily gratitude anchor halted her mind’s spiral, steadied her body, and unlocked a deep reservoir of inner resilience.

From that crucible, Deborah distilled powerful insights:

• Gratitude as a mind‑body tool – tiny, concrete moments keep us grounded when stress spikes.
• A gratitude‑first toolbox – meditation, conflict‑resolution skills, and purpose‑driven work keep us out of the “survival” loop.
• Wellness technology meets decentralization – Blisspot’s Web 2.0 platform already offers courses, meditations, and gratitude journals

Dave takes us back to that harrowing January 15, 2009, when US Airways Flight 1549 plunged into the Hudson River. From the split‑second before impact, through the frantic scramble for the exit, to the seven minutes he spent waist‑deep in 36‑degree water, Dave paints a vivid, front‑row account of survival. He shares how a voice from his late mother reminded him to “do the right thing, and God will take care of you,” prompting him to help his fellow passengers before making his own escape.

But the story doesn’t end with a safe landing. In the weeks that followed—hospital stays, hypothermia, a whirlwind of media appearances—Dave discovered that true gratitude isn’t just feeling thankful; it’s giving back. Whether speaking at his church, confronting skeptics about miracles, or supporting the Red Cross, he learned that gratitude lives in service, in daily rituals, and in the simple act of praying for another day.

We’ll explore:

• The transformative power of gratitude before and after a life‑changing event.
• Dave’s daily rituals—prayer, fitness, and mindset work—that keep him centered.
• How Tony Robbins’ teachings and personal anecdotes illustrate the link between gratitude, health, and purpose.
• Practical tools for turning traumatic experiences into growth, including speaking out, managing state, and asking empowering questions.

If you’re looking for a story that blends survival, faith, and actionable insight, this episode is your runway to lift off.

In today’s episode we sit down with Laura Baxter, an award‑winning opera singer turned performance coach, speaker, and author living in Germany. Laura shares the pivotal moment that reshaped her whole approach to gratitude: singing at a noble‑family wedding in a medieval chapel and realizing that being “grateful in the moment” is far more powerful than simply feeling grateful.

From the highs of touring the U.S. with a national opera company to the challenges of restarting her career from scratch in Germany—auditions, a new family, and the sting of stage fright—Laura explains how a simple prayer before each performance kept her grounded. She reveals the tools that keep her centered, from the mantra “I choose love” taught by her mentor Nan Burt, to a compliment journal that transformed the way she receives praise.

We’ll hear the pivotal moments that shaped his journey: a courtroom showdown at age 10 confronting his mother’s alcoholism, the heart‑breaking loss of his father to fear‑driven self‑destruction, and the profound realization that “the pain of our past produces so much power if we choose it to be.” From there, Peter shares how he shattered the limiting belief that love must be earned and rewired his life with gratitude, responsibility, and action.

You’ll walk away with concrete tools Peter lives by every day:

• “Measuring Back” – slowing down to celebrate how far you’ve come before chasing the next goal.
• A daily gratitude habit – sending love to three people each morning and truly feeling each gratitude.
• Focused action over control – delegating what you don’t love, embracing movement to shift physiology, and serving others even when resources feel scarce.

If you’re ready to transform fear into fearless gratitude, tap “follow,” settle in, and let this conversation inspire you to own your story, celebrate the journey, and become unstoppable.

Stay grateful, stay fearless.

Befor you hit play, a quick apology—I’m aware the mic isn’t sounding its best today, so thanks for bearing in with me.

After selling her consultancy and raising four children, Annabel discovered her “first love” – literature – and, more importantly, a profound sense of gratitude that reshaped her whole worldview. She recounts how immersing herself in the life of a young Irish‑born dancer in 1920s Paris sparked the realization that many of the comforts we take for granted – electricity, central heating, the freedom to choose our own paths – are true gifts.

A life‑changing head injury in the hospital forced Annabel to confront vulnerability head‑on. Watching strangers walk by a window, she promised herself to cherish every step she could take again. That promise led her into a deep dive of gratitude research from Harvard and American universities, revealing that intentional gratitude can reduce pain, boost happiness, speed recovery, and even improve sleep.

Annabelle didn’t stop at personal practice. She introduced a simple gratitude ritual at her family table – one thing each person shares before meals – and watched it ripple out to friends, guests, and even strangers she’d never met. She shares why public expressions of thanks often feel more powerful than private journals, how imagination and acting can help us “step into another’s shoes,” and why cultivating gratitude is especially vital for the British tendency to focus on what’s lacking.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• The pivotal moment that shifted Annabel from corporate to creative life.
• How imagining a historic figure opened the door to everyday thankfulness.
• The science behind gratitude’s health benefits and how to make the practice tangible.
• A family‑wide gratitude ritual that turned meals into moments of connection.
• Heart‑warming stories of strangers and hospital companions who reminded her of her own luck.
• 
  

Whether you’re wrestling with a tough day, looking for a simple habit to boost your wellbeing, or just curious about how gratitude can transform both mind and body, Annabel's journey offers both inspiration and practical tools. Stay tuned—because today’s conversation might just be the spark you need to start seeing the world through a more grateful lens.

Hit play, and let’s begin the gratitude adventure together.

Together we explore:

• The “Winter‑Spring” metaphor – why every hardship (the cold, the divorce, market crashes) is the soil that nurtures growth.
• From hustle to purpose – how Jason shifted from grinding 24‑hour days to designing low‑overhead systems that let him coach agents across the country.
• Practical gratitude habits – daily gratitude lists, affirmation routines, and the power of the Reticular Activating System (RAS) to rewire your focus.
• Lessons from the past – the impact of family loss, the importance of savoring small moments, and advice he’d give his younger self.
• Actionable takeaways for anyone feeling stuck, whether you’re an agent, a budding entrepreneur, or simply seeking more joy in everyday life.

If you’ve ever felt trapped in a personal or professional “winter,” Jason’s story reminds us that the next spring is waiting—if we stay connected to gratitude, adjust our mindset, and keep moving forward. Tune in, take notes, and discover how to turn your own challenges into a catalyst for growth.

Hal’s story is nothing short of cinematic: at 20, he survived a head‑on collision that left him clinically dead for six minutes, broke 11 bones, and was told he might never walk again. Through relentless gratitude, visualization, and a commitment to what he wanted—not just what he could accept—Hal not only walked again but rewired his entire life.

We’ll unpack how that turning point birthed the SAVERS—Silence, Affirmations, Visualization, Exercise, Reading, and Scribing—six timeless practices that world‑class performers have used for centuries. Hal shows us how you can compress them into a 30‑to‑60‑minute morning ritual (or even a six‑minute “quick‑fire” version) and how they can transform everything from income to health to relationships.

Along the way we’ll hear about:

• The three “rock bottoms” that shaped Hal’s resilience, from a catastrophic crash to the 2008 financial collapse.
• The science behind gratitude, meditation, epigenetics, and neuroplasticity that turned his body into a healing miracle.
• Practical, battle‑tested strategies for beating the snooze button, hydrating first thing, and building unstoppable 30‑day habit loops.
• Real‑world success stories—people who went from “not a morning person” to thriving entrepreneurs, athletes, and even couples whose marriages were saved.

Whether you’re a sunrise enthusiast or a self‑confessed night‑owl, this conversation will give you a roadmap to redesign your mornings, cultivate a habit of gratitude, and start living the life you’ve always imagined.

Grab your headphones, take a deep breath, and get ready to dive into a story of survival, mindset mastery, and the everyday rituals that can turn ordinary days into extraordinary ones. Let’s begin!

• Three levels of habit formation: the starter habit of a two‑minute daily gratitude meditation, the challenge of replacing unhealthy habits, and the hardest—but most rewarding—shift of mental patterns that occurs multiple times a day.
• Practical, bite‑size tools for catching old, automatic reactions, noticing the physical cues of a stressed mind, and consciously choosing a new, grateful response.
• The art of “present‑moment gratitude” in everyday chores—from chin‑ups with your child to washing a single dish—so the journey becomes the reward, not just the end goal.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a loop of “getting through” rather than “being in” each moment, this conversation will give you a roadmap for rewiring those old neural pathways and cultivating a life that feels fuller, richer, and more connected—starting with just one mindful breath.

In this episode we’ll walk you through a simple, powerful habit to close the chapter on 2025 and step into 2026 with fresh optimism: a month‑by‑month gratitude exercise. We’ll show you how to:

1. Tap into your photo library—search “January 2025,” “February 2025,” etc.—to spark vivid memories.
2. Engage the senses—recall the taste of that lunch, the scent of a spa, the warmth of sunshine—to deepen the emotional impact.
3. Write it down—capture at least one, ideally three, gratitude points per month, including the sensations that made them special.

I’ll also share my own highlights from the past year—lunches with friends, comedy shows that made our bellies hurt, a Dali exhibition, tulip fields in Holland, a double rainbow after a storm, and more—showing how even the simplest experiences can become powerful anchors of gratitude.

Grab your journal, open your photo album, and let’s unlock the joy hidden in the last twelve months, so we can launch 2026 with a heart full of gratitude and a mind poised for new, beautiful moments. Let’s dive in!

Our guest, Julie Riesler, embodies this mindset. She once faced the crushing belief that she was “too big to be a dancer,” battled a deep‑seated food addiction, and carried the weight of a family scarred by PTSD and financial strain. On the brink of ending it all, an inner voice nudged her into a support group—and that decision became the turning point that reshaped every year that followed.

Since that moment, Julie has reinvented herself year after year—emerging as a TV personality, serial author, TEDx speaker, life‑design coach, global ambassador for brands like Lululemon and Canyon Ranch, and the director of the documentary Hungry for More. Her meditations have been downloaded over 100,000 times, and she continues to add “vintage wisdom” to her life, just like a fine wine that improves with age.

In today’s conversation we’ll discover:

• How gratitude for each year can turn pain into purpose, using Julie’s “PhD in You” framework that honors past strengths, present gifts, and future dreams.
• Practical rituals—daily gratitude journaling, stillness meditations, and celebrating the tiny moments (the donut‑filled nursery‑school memory, the uneasy loan from a distant aunt) that accumulate into a life worth cherishing.
• Why the “passing year” matters: each new chapter invites us to become more authentic, to shift from constant “doing” to mindful “being,” and to recognize that every year adds another layer of wisdom, compassion, and resilience.
• The people who helped her grow—from Louise Hay and Wayne Dyer to her supportive sponsor, her family, and especially her two children, who remind her daily why she’s grateful for every year lived.

In this episode we’ll travel to September 24, 1789, when the very first U.S. House of Representatives recommended a national day of thanks. The next day, New Jersey Congressman Elias Boudinot urged President George Washington to proclaim a day of public thanksgiving and prayer. On October 3, 1789, Washington answered with a historic proclamation—designating Thursday, November 26, as a day for the nation to pause, thank Almighty God for “signal favors,” and reflect on the new government’s promise of safety, liberty, and prosperity.

We’ll break down Washington’s eloquent, if occasionally stumbling, wording, explore why gratitude was woven into the very fabric of the early Republic, and discuss how that original spirit can still shape our lives today. Whether you’re gathering around the dinner table or simply looking for a reminder to cultivate thankfulness, this episode offers a fresh perspective on the holiday that’s far more than turkey and parades—it’s about honoring the blessings that made a fledgling nation possible.

So grab a cup of cider, settle in, and let’s give thanks together for the history, the habit, and the hope behind America’s first Thanksgiving.

• The science of gratitude, including how the practice lowers anxiety, boosts presence, and even fuels risk‑taking for a more authentic life.
• Practical tools from the book’s final pages—conversation starters and journaling prompts that turn reading time into an active gratitude practice for families.
• Why inner success matters more than outward symbols of achievement, and how modeling gratitude at home can spark lasting habits in children aged 3‑5 (and even younger).

Stay tuned for actionable tips, heartfelt stories, and a reminder that true happiness isn’t found in the newest gadget—it’s cultivated daily through simple, mindful gratitude.

Together we explore how shamans view gratitude as a living, breathing relationship with the Earth. Anahata shares a sacred Lakota prayer that honors every “nation” of creation, from mineral to spirit, and reminds us that the simple refrain “I thank you” is the heartbeat of existence. We travel through the four seasons as medicines of surrender, renewal, inspiration and celebration, and discover how recognizing each cycle can deepen our appreciation for change.

We also dive into the language of spirit animals, the synchronicities that whisper guidance, and practical tools you can use right now: a free animal‑spirit guided audio journey, a downloadable PDF of the prayer, and an exclusive discount on Anahata’s Quantum Leap coaching program.

If you’re ready to expand your gratitude practice beyond the everyday and step into a shamanic, nature‑centred way of being, this episode is your invitation. Press play, open your heart, and let the wisdom of the ancestors guide you.

From the moment she stepped into a 1960s medical school class where women made up less than 10 % of the cohort, Dr. Roberts has been breaking barriers. She became the second woman ever accepted into her internship, the first female cardiology fellow, and a vocal pro‑choice activist long before Roe v. Wade. Her career has spanned everything from anti‑Vietnam‑War protests to testifying in court for a notorious New England mafia boss whose life she saved, all while navigating a hostile, male‑dominated medical world.

In this conversation we explore:

• Gratitude as a guiding virtue – how a quote from Cicero shaped her outlook and why she believes gratitude is the “parent of all virtues.”
• The power of a supportive community – the family, mentors, and friends who gave her the courage to keep moving forward.
• Lessons from adversity – surviving gender bias, political backlash, and personal heartbreak while staying true to her values.
• Why today’s young women have more doors open, yet must stay vigilant – a look at the progress made and the threats that still loom.
• A glimpse into her memoir – the wild tale of treating a mafia boss, the love story that inspired the title, and the humor she uses to keep a light heart amid serious work.

Whether you’re a budding physician, an activist, or simply someone looking for a dose of resilience, Dr. Roberts’ story reminds us that gratitude isn’t just a feeling—it’s a strategic tool for thriving against the odds.
