🎙️ Behind the Mic • Episode 143
Let’s be honest… how many times have you said, “I’m fine” when you’re really not?

We sat down with our brilliant friend Dr. Stacie Slabaugh from The Balanced Life to ask the big question:
Are you really fine? 😅💛

We’re talking nervous system overload, energy alignment, and what it means to live in coherence (yes, that’s a real thing—and you want it). Join us for an hour of insights, laughs, plus reminders that it’s okay to pause, breathe, and realign.

🗽💭 What does it really mean to be free?
This July 4th, we're revisiting one of our most powerful conversations — and it has nothing to do with fireworks or flags.

🎙️ Re-airing: “Are We Truly Free?”
In this episode of we explore the first truth from our new book — We Are Creators — and ask the deeper question:
Can we truly be free if we don’t consciously create our lives?

💡 It’s about more than external liberty — it’s about inner freedom.
The freedom to respond.
The freedom to release old beliefs.
The freedom to live on purpose.
