Ever wake up at 3am thinking, “What am I doing with my life?” If so, you are not alone—and you are definitely not lost. In this inspiring episode of Love, Happiness, and Success, I’m joined by bestselling author, NYU professor, and former editor-in-chief of the Harvard Business Review, Suzy Welch, to help you get the career clarity and alignment that you deserve.

We’re talking concrete tools and research-backed frameworks to help you get clarity around your path, stop second-guessing yourself, and make empowered choices about your life and career—without burning it all down.

Have you ever caught yourself reaching for a glass of wine, scrolling endlessly, or obsessively organizing your to-do list… and thought, Wait, why am I doing this again?! You might not think of yourself as "addicted" — but what if you’re using these “fixes” to soothe something deeper?

In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with the incredible Ian Morgan Cron — bestselling author, psychotherapist, and spiritual teacher — to unpack a radical idea: We’re all a little bit addicted.

Whether it’s people-pleasing, overworking, or that toxic relationship you just can't quit, we’re diving deep into why we get stuck, how the 12-step process can change your life (even if you don’t have a “capital A” addiction), and how to truly heal from the inside out.

You’ll walk away with a totally new roadmap for transformation — and trust me, by the end of this episode, you’re going to feel empowered, enlightened, and ready to love yourself and your life in a whole new way. Let’s do this!

What if your anxiety, brain fog, or mood swings aren’t in your mind... but in your mitochondria?

I know—that sounds wild. But in this jaw-dropping episode of Love, Happiness & Success, I’m talking with Dr. Bret Scher about something that completely changed the way I think about mental health: Metabolic Psychiatry.

We dive into the cutting-edge (but surprisingly old!) science behind mind and energy psychiatry that connects mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, ADHD, and even serious psychiatric conditions with how your body uses energy. Spoiler alert: your brain runs on fuel, and what you eat matters a lot more than we were taught in grad school.

Together, Dr. Scher and I unpack how ketogenic therapy is helping people reclaim their mental clarity, lift mood disorders, and, in some cases, experience complete transformation. If you’ve been “doing the work” and still not feeling like yourself, this conversation might be the missing piece you’ve been searching for.
