Bestselling author Cara Lockwood has made readers laugh, cry, and swoon through more than 35 books — including the USA Today bestsellers The Takeover and I Do (But I Don’t), which became a Lifetime Original Movie starring Denise Richards. But in 2023, during a routine mammogram, Cara’s life took a sharp turn when she was diagnosed with Stage 1 HER+ breast cancer. After a double mastectomy, chemotherapy, and reconstruction, she went into remission in 2024 — and turned her journey into something extraordinary. Her new book, There’s No Good Book for This but I Wrote One Anyway: The Irreverent Guide to Crushing Breast Cancer (Oct. 1, 2025), is a candid, laugh-out-loud, and deeply empowering guide for patients, survivors, and loved ones alike. Part memoir, part pep talk, and part “screaming into the void,” Cara uses humor as her healing superpower — offering an unfiltered, relatable take on the toughest days of treatment and recovery. In this episode, Cara shares how she found her voice through vulnerability, why gallows humor became her secret weapon, and the pep talk she’d give anyone who just got “the call.” It’s real, raw, and wildly human — proof that sometimes laughter is the best medicine. 💗 Half of all proceeds from her book benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Sue Willoughby is an Equus Coach®, intuitive guide, and reinvention expert who helps women over 40 reconnect with their inner wisdom, release what no longer serves them, and step into a more authentic, aligned life—through the powerful presence of horses. In this episode, Sue walks us through what actually happens in an Equus Coaching session and explains why working with horses is such a profound tool for stress relief, self-awareness, and emotional regulation.

Sue also opens up about her own journey of reinvention—from DJ to comic to pilot, and now coach—and offers practical advice for women over 40 who feel stuck but are hesitant to leap into change.

In this powerful episode, Connie Davis, Co-Founder of Inspire.World Foundation and Chief Post Traumatic Growth Officer, shares her inspiring journey of transforming trauma into wisdom. A widow, ICU survivor, and certified WIDP practitioner, Connie helps Adult Children of Dysfunction and trauma-impacted women recognize survival patterns, rewire their nervous systems, and rediscover their inner light. From childhood experiences of abuse, abandonment, and parental PTSD to navigating loss and rebuilding purpose, Connie’s story reveals how emotional awareness and post-traumatic growth can turn pain into power. Together, we explore how perfectionism, hypervigilance, and people-pleasing stem from early trauma—and how healing begins when we learn to trust ourselves again. Through her podcast Unlocking Commerce and her nonprofit Inspire.World Foundation, Connie is helping communities heal from the inside out by bridging emotional intelligence, business, and conscious leadership. This episode will inspire you to step out of survival mode, embrace your authenticity, and become a lighthouse for others still lost in the storm. ✨ Listen now to discover: Explore More: Podcast: https://unlocking-commerce.onpodcastai.com/ Speaking & Coaching: https://conniedavisspeaks.com/ Foundation: https://inspireworldfoundation.org/ Find Out More with Tammy: Free Scan: https://calendly.com/tammyvincent/complimentary-scan-demo More Resources: https://linktr.ee/tvincent Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

In this powerful solo episode, we continue the conversation sparked by my recent interview with grief and loss coach Katy Parker — but this time, we’re taking a closer look at one of the most well-known (and misunderstood) grief models: the Five Stages of Grief. We’ve all heard them — denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance — but what do they really look like in everyday life? And what if you’re not experiencing them “in order”? In this episode, we’ll explore: ✨ Why grief isn’t linear — and never has been ✨ How the five stages can appear, disappear, and reappear over time ✨ Real-life examples of what each stage may feel like emotionally + physically ✨ Why invisible grief deserves just as much space and support ✨ Practical tools to care for yourself in whatever stage you’re in today This conversation is about compassion… for yourself, your grief, and your healing. There is no finish line. There is no “moving on.” There is only learning to move with grief while still honoring your life, your joy, and the love that remains. If you connected with the themes Katy shared, this episode will help you apply those insights in meaningful, supportive ways — no matter where you are on your journey.

In this powerful and heart-centered episode, we sit down with Katy Parker — a trauma-informed well-being writer, grief and loss coach, and mental health mentor who is changing the way the world understands invisible grief. Katy shares her personal journey as a trauma survivor and chronic pain warrior, and how her lived experience inspired her to support others navigating the emotional wounds that aren’t always seen or acknowledged. Through her Journeyofsmiley blog, PTSD: My Story Project, and Grief Stories series, Katy has created safe spaces where people around the world can share their experiences, feel understood, and find hope. We explore: ✨ What “invisible grief” means and how it affects every part of life ✨ The role storytelling plays in healing trauma ✨ How to reconnect with purpose when life doesn’t go as planned ✨ Practical ways to move from survival into growth and joy Katy’s message is rooted in empathy, faith, and the belief that healing should be a right, not a privilege. She also shares a powerful free resource, 7 Keys to Self-Healing: A Trauma Survivor’s Guide, created to help others begin their own journey forward. Whether you’re grieving a loss that others can’t see, healing from trauma, or supporting someone who is — this episode will remind you that you’re not alone, and hope is always within reach. 🛎️ Connect with Katy Parker Website/Blog: https://www.journeyofsmiley.com Grief Stories Substack: https://katyparker.substack.com Free Resources: https://journeyofsmiley.com/free-resources-journeyofsmiley Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/journeyofsmiley Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/journeyofsmiley TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@journeyofsmiley Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/journeyofsmiley Email: smiley@journeyofsmiley.com Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

In this episode, we sit down with Sarah Stray, founder of Boxless Coaching, an Akashic Record Healer and Soul Recalibration Coach who helps people clear ancestral patterns and reconnect with their inner knowing. After more than 20 years in the nonprofit strategy world, Sarah followed a quiet inner tug toward something deeper. What began as burnout evolved into a spiritual awakening—guided by energy work, synchronicities, and the loving presence of her grandmother. That path eventually led her to the Akashic Records, where she found profound clarity and a sense of homecoming. Sarah shares how working within the Records differs from traditional therapy or other energy work—helping clients release limiting beliefs, karmic imprints, and old stories so their soul’s truth can lead. We also explore what it means to live boxlessly—free from roles, labels, and expectations—so transformation can unfold naturally from the inside out. This conversation is filled with warmth, insight, and the reminder that your soul already remembers the way forward. ✨ Connect with Sarah Stray: Instagram: @boxlesscoaching Website: boxlesscoaching.com Linktree: linktr.ee/boxlesscoaching And now, get her free gift: https://bit.ly/unwantedwoundbirth Heal Your Own Birth: The Unwanted Wound: Clearing energy absorbed in utero.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Helen Ngo — speaker, writer, and courageous truth‑teller who is sparking honest conversations about loss, grief, and the messy path toward healing. After the sudden deaths of her boyfriend, niece, and best friend, Helen didn’t just lose people she loved — she says she “lost her Self (with a capital S).” What followed were twenty years of what she calls “zombie‑ing through life”: surviving the day-to-day through hyper‑independence, workaholism, and perfectionism. Helen opens up about what she now calls gold‑star syndrome — tying her worth to productivity, achievement, and taking care of everyone else. On the outside, she was a high‑performing financial advisor, mom, sister, and friend. On the inside, she was drowning in unprocessed grief. Her breakthrough came in therapy — the moment her walls finally cracked and she felt connection again. That support literally saved her life. Now Helen is using her voice to help others feel less alone. Through her writing, conversations, and community meetups, she reminds us that: ✅ Healing is messy and nonlinear ✅ Grief doesn’t have a timeline ✅ You don’t have to pretend you’re fine ✅ Your story isn’t over — even when life feels unbearable Helen’s message is simple and full of hope: “If someone can see themselves in my experience — if my story can be that one spark of hope that says ‘me too, and I made it through’ — then every vulnerable moment is worth it.” We explore: ✨ What it’s like to spend decades in survival mode ✨ Why productivity becomes a coping mechanism ✨ How connection — not isolation — is what truly heals ✨ What she wishes the world understood about grief ✨ The moment she chose to start living again If you’re grieving… if you’ve been holding everything together for too long… if you feel invisible in your pain — this episode will remind you: you are not alone, and there is still so much ahead of you.

In this episode, we dive deep into the powerful and often misunderstood concept of internal resistance — that invisible force that keeps us from taking action on the things we truly want. Joining me is Kam Knight, a distinguished mentor, international speaker, and bestselling author known for his groundbreaking work on mental, emotional, and physical performance. Kam unpacks the psychological roots of resistance, explaining how our own brains can work against us — manifesting as procrastination, self-sabotage, fear, or overwhelm. He breaks down the science behind why we get stuck and offers practical, research-based strategies to help listeners move from paralysis into purpose-driven action. Together, we explore how trauma and emotional conditioning can amplify resistance, especially for those with challenging pasts, and how understanding these mechanisms allows for deep transformation. Kam introduces actionable tools like micro-commitments — small, manageable steps that help bypass overwhelm, build momentum, and retrain the brain to associate progress with safety and satisfaction. Kam reminds us that "wanting does not equate to having." True growth and fulfillment come when we courageously face our inner resistance and act in spite of it. His wisdom provides a roadmap for anyone ready to transcend self-sabotage and step boldly into aligned action. 💡 Key Takeaways Micro-commitments 🧠 Connect with Kam Knight InstagramFacebookYouTubeLinkedInTikTok ✨ Tune in to learn how to reprogram your mind, dismantle internal barriers, and finally take the steps your soul has been longing for.
