Have you ever felt burned out while chasing a dream?

Dr. Alain Salas, the "Mind Clearing Doctor," was living the ultimate success - a thriving practice, sailing in the South of France - but inside, he was overwhelmed and exhausted.

This led to a personal collapse that hit his health (getting sick with an early stage of colon cancer!), his marriage (divorce), and his business.

Talk about everything crashing down at once!

Instead of staying defeated, he went inward, and what he discovered became his powerful three-step system for clearing limiting beliefs and creating success without the burnout.

We dive deep into the mind-body connection, why having a personal "mission in life" is the only true way to avoid feeling lost, and why failure isn't really a thing - it's just a lesson you haven't learned yet.

We also talk about a core concept he uses: the alignment of your Thought (the how), your Emotion/Heart (the why), and your Action (the what).

This is the part that blew my mind: Dr. Salas explains that our conscious mind (where we focus all our effort to solve problems) is only 5–10% of our power, while the subconscious mind is a massive 90–95%!

If you’re struggling to reach a goal, you’re trying to move a mountain with a tiny fraction of your mind.

This conversation is a must-listen if you're ready to stop using only 5% of your power and finally understand how to get that full alignment.

You'll hear us talk about:

• How his personal collapse led to his life-altering Mind Clearing system.
• Why understanding your life's mission eliminates the feeling of "no motivation."
• The difference between "victim mode" and being a "creator" of your reality.
• His three simple steps (delete, download, manifest) for transforming limiting beliefs into empowering ones.
• A beautiful visual of what "awakening" feels like when you finally clear the clouds in your sky.

Remember, midlife isn’t the end - it’s just the beginning of a new, exciting chapter! Keep thriving, keep shining, and I’ll see you next time!

Anna Quigley is basically the "Intuitive Yoda" for women in midlife looking to figure out their next chapter.

Anna has spent over 40 years steeped in metaphysics, quantum physics, psychology, and spiritual studies....not just reading about it, but truly living it.

Just two years ago, she did the brave thing: she walked away from a job she loved that had turned toxic and fully committed to the work she knows she's meant to do. She’s here to help women clarify their purpose and bring it into fruition.

Anna and I dive deep into how we can reprogram our thoughts and why our gut feelings are scientifically referred to as the "second brain." We talk about the power of visualization (and sensory imagination!) - it’s not just for Olympic athletes anymore, but a key tool for creating our reality.

Anna shares her incredible, personal journey of listening to the "universal whisper" before it brought out the "club" (you'll know what I mean when you listen!).

She explains why those gifts that come easily to us - the ones we tend to dismiss - are often the exact things we're here to share with the world.

If you've been feeling that little internal nudge that there’s something more waiting for you, or if you need a little help listening to your intuition, this episode is a beautiful guide.

Anna even has a great tool - an intuition tracking sheet - that she’s sharing with our listeners!

How much of your teenage self is still showing up when you parent, love, or even react to things today? That voice that just wanted to be seen and heard?

My incredible guest, Tatjana Simakova, believes that version of us is still shaping our family dynamics, and she has built her life's work on helping us heal that unseen gap.

Tatjana's own journey is one of deep courage.

Growing up with an alcoholic mother and navigating family separation gave her a profound, lived understanding of what it means to heal from the inside out.

Now a psychotherapist, art therapist, and the founder of the S-A-L-V-U-S ParentTeen community, she has helped thousands of families move from emotional chaos to calm connection.

In this episode we talk about:

• Why the teenage years are such a critical stage for catching and working through trauma.
• The magic of art therapy - why getting messy can be the key to opening up and finding a non-judgmental outlet.
• The most common shift parents can make to stop "clamping down" and start building a stronger, more trusting connection
• Her powerful metaphor of letting your child go further away so they know they can always come back to you.
• The one place you absolutely must start if you want to see a change in your children

This conversation is a beautiful reminder that when we do the work to reconnect with our own inner teenager, we start parenting and living from a place of much deeper understanding.

You’ll be so inspired by Tatjana's story and her amazing, heart-centered work.
