In this episode of The Phoenix Mind with Lisa Manzo, Angela Jamieson — former petroleum engineer turned bestselling author, speaker, and digital entrepreneur — shares how she traded oil and gas for ideas and inspiration. After a global career that took her from Canada to the Netherlands and Brunei, Angela realized she had been chasing success outside herself. When her father passed away, everything shifted — and her true work began.

Through her Relaxed Productivity course and membership, Angela helps high-achieving professionals redefine success by blending science, humor, and heart. Her bestselling book Using No. 2 to Get to No. 1 hilariously proves that growth can be both deep and fun. In this conversation, Angela opens up about her concept of “Inner Engineering,” her belief that fun is fuel for focus, and how we can all create lives that are meaningful, balanced, and joyfully human.

In this episode of The Phoenix Mind with Lisa Manzo, award-winning author and speaker Patti Clark shares her powerful story of addiction, recovery, and rediscovery. Best known for her books This Way Up: Seven Tools for Unleashing Your Creative Self and Transforming Your Life and Recovery Road Trip: Finding Purpose and Connection on the Journey Home, Patti’s work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, and Thrive Global.

A cross between Elizabeth Gilbert and Julia Cameron, Patti draws from her own experience with multi-generational addiction and trauma — losing her mother to alcoholism at 16 and descending into her own battle with addiction before ultimately rising from the ashes. Now over 11 years sober, Patti uses writing, creativity, and spiritual practice to guide others toward healing, purpose, and connection. Her story is a testament to the power of recovery, renewal, and finding your way home to yourself.

As the owner of Luminescence Healing and the author of Reflections from the Dating Pool, Cindy challenged herself to go on 50 dates in 52 weeks — not to find “the one,” but to learn to trust again and reconnect with herself.

What began as a personal experiment became a story of empowerment, resilience, and self-discovery. Through her healing practice, Cindy now helps others rebuild their confidence and open their hearts after pain. This conversation is about stepping into vulnerability, rewriting your relationship with trust, and finding love — both within and beyond yourself.
