• The Grit of Healing — Facing Powerlessness, Alopecia & Suicide with Compassion

  In this moving episode, Paula sits down with Claire Evans, a passionate advocate for well-being, creativity, and authentic connection. Drawing from her deep background in mindfulness, meditation, and community engagement, She opens up about her transformative journey—one that has inspired being part of powerful initiatives like The Yellow Book and Rethink Your Mind. Through their heartfelt conversation, Claire shares how creativity became both a refuge and a source of strength during her experiences with mental health challenges, including her journey with alopecia and the profound loss of a loved one to suicide. She also reflects on the enduring bonds that transcend the physical world, revealing how Love and Spirit remain interwoven even through loss. Together, they explore how connection, self-empowerment, and artistic expression can help us heal, rediscover who we are, and build stronger, more compassionate communities. Key Takeaways Connection transforms: Disconnection often fuels anxiety and depression, but fostering authentic connection—with ourselves and others—can be deeply healing. Creativity heals: Creative expression allows us to externalize our emotions, rediscover our identity, and reconnect with our sense of purpose and inner power. Community nurtures growth: By opening spaces for honest communication and shared experience, we create environments where transformation and mutual support can flourish. Love transcends separation: Claire’s story reminds us that the bonds of love endure beyond the physical, offering comfort, growth, and a deeper sense of unity with those who’ve gone before us. Wholeness matters: Mental health cannot be separated from overall well-being—it is woven into every aspect of our physical, emotional, and spiritual lives. BEST MOMENTS "What drives me most of all is connection. When challenges come your way, you disconnect from yourself and you start looking outside of yourself." "I often call myself a conscious reminder. I'm just really here to remind people that they have the power to be whatever they want to be." "I feel I've had a real calling just very recently to start to create that space for others, to find that beauty of who they are." "I think the beauty is to remember themselves and then they've just come back to life." "Neither Pete or I really believe in mental health. We just believe there is only health and well-being as one."

• Receiving Light and Wayne Dyer’s 7 Morning Declarations

  In this episode of Transform Today, Paula invites you into the luminous presence of one of her greatest teachers, the late Dr. Wayne Dyer. Though no longer in the body, Wayne’s wisdom continues to shine as a guiding light and here, Paula shares one of his most life changing practices: beginning each morning by speaking seven simple yet profoundly transformative declarations. The first moments after waking are your sacred ground. Your mind is wide open, receptive, like fertile soil ready to receive seeds of truth. When you choose the words you plant in this tender space, you are literally rewiring your brain, reshaping your reality, and opening yourself to the infinite, creative flow of the universe. In this episode, Paula doesn’t just teach these seven lines she embodies them, guiding you into a heart-opening, grounding practice that moves beyond the mind into the deeper knowing of the heart and the body. These declarations aren’t just words; they are living frequencies of love, gratitude, trust, and creative power that awaken who you truly are: a radiant expression of the one great Love. As you listen, you’ll be reminded that you are not separate, not lacking, not in need of proving. You are enough, you are light, and you are here to give your unique gifts to the world. 🌟 Key Takeaways 🌟 The first minutes after waking are your most receptive — a sacred time to plant empowering truths into the fertile soil of your mind and heart. Worthiness is not something you earn; it is your birthright. You are already enough, right here, right now. In every situation, you can choose love over fear. Love expands, connects, and opens doors, while fear contracts and limits. You don’t attract what you simply wish for — you attract what you are. Embodying love, peace, and abundance naturally calls more of it into your life. Releasing the need to control outcomes frees you from stress and opens you to trust in the greater flow of life. Gratitude transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, illuminating each day as the unique and precious gift it truly is. You are here not just to receive, but to give — to shine your light and share your gifts with the world. BEST MOMENTS "The first few minutes after waking up are like your sacred ground. Your mind is open, so receptive, and whatever you tell yourself in those first moments becomes the seeds that you plant for the day." "Don't die with your music still inside you." "If you want to change your reality you must change your thinking because science tells us we're having 60 to 70,000 thoughts a day." "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." "Your life is simplified enormously when you don't have to defend yourself to anyone, and when you receive support rather than criticism."

• Dropping Shame & Breaking Glass Ceilings After Divorce

  In this honest conversation, Paula is joined by Ange, a divorce healing specialist, podcast host, speaker, and best-selling author. This episode explores the profound impact of guilt, shame, and unworthiness that often follows a major life event like divorce. Ange and Paula unpack how these deeply rooted, sometimes unconscious beliefs create a 'glass ceiling' that puts limits on the love, money, and abundance we allow ourselves to receive. If you've ever felt stuck in the fear of starting over, losing income, or wanting 'too much,' this conversation will show you what it takes to break through, begin again, and open the door to healing, resilience, and a life of true abundance. KEY TAKEAWAYS Divorce is a deeply traumatic event, ranking second only to the loss of a loved one, and it brings up intense emotions and fears concerning money, relationships, and the future. Guilt, shame, and a sense of unworthiness, often deeply rooted in childhood conditioning, create an inner "glass ceiling" that limits a person's capacity to receive both money/wealth and love. Many people focus their energy outwardly (on the legal "fight" or on their children) and forget that deep healing and moving forward requires stripping back external influences and focusing on the internal trauma and self-love. The capacity to receive love and wealth is directly linked to self-love; you can only give to another the amount of love you can give yourself, and once you get to a place of inner acceptance, you cease to chase and instead allow abundance to come. Outdated societal conditioning (like "money is the root of all evil" or "the man is the breadwinner") creates fear and scarcity, and true freedom comes from recognising that these thoughts are not facts and surrendering to a higher power or the abundance of the universe. BEST MOMENTS "This is a real honest conversation about how our own guilt and shame put limits on how much money and love we believe we're allowed to have." "You can only receive what you believe." "Love is what remains when the feelings of love have withered away." "If you don't know what to do, do nothing. Just be." "Love is what remains when the feelings of love have withered away. And that is that love that you want for your future."

• Rewire Your Mind, Redesign Your Reality

  In this soul-nourishing episode of Transform Today, Paula invites you to explore the profound truth that your point of power is always in the present moment. When we pause, remember, and step off autopilot with compassion, we begin to see how our thoughts and feelings are not just fleeting — they are the architects of our reality. Blending mindfulness with science, Paula shares the inspiring 2009 piano study, which revealed that simply rehearsing a skill in the mind can rewire the brain almost as powerfully as physical practice. This is living proof that when we imagine our desired future with clarity and emotion, we are already shaping it into being. Through heartfelt stories and practical guidance, Paula gently shows us how old beliefs about money, love, success, or worth can quietly run our lives — until we choose to interrupt them. With compassion, we can let go of what no longer serves us and open to the empowering truth: you have the ability to design your reality by the way you think and feel, right now. This talk and meditation are an invitation to step into abundance, love, health, and joy — not someday in the future, but in this very breath. By remembering who you really are, and living as though your vision is already true, you begin to align with the limitless possibilities of the universe. 🌟 Key Takeaways Your point of power is now. Every thought and feeling in this moment is shaping your reality. Compassion breaks autopilot. By noticing old patterns with kindness, you can interrupt them and choose again. Your brain rewires through rehearsal. Studies show that vividly imagining success creates real neural changes. Beliefs can transform. Childhood stories about money, love, or success need not define your present. Live as if. To call in abundance, love, health, or success, feel them now as your truth — and life will rise to meet you. BEST MOMENTS "Your point of power is in the present moment and what you think and feel you make real." "If you want to change your reality you must change your thinking because science tells us we're having 60 to 70,000 thoughts a day." "Your brain doesn't fully know the difference between what's real and what is vividly imagined." "You can bring safety into your nervous system. You can increase your capacity to feel that unconditional love, that unconditional acceptance." "Each time you do this, you are laying down the new neural pathways. You are aligning with the future you desire."
