In this episode, I’m chatting with my high school friend Gabrielle, who you probably know as Zingara, the popular EDM DJ. We’re diving into how she’s used manifestation to build her dream life and career, going from DJing small local shows to playing huge festivals like Electric Forest and Red Rocks. She shares how mindfulness and grief have shaped her journey, and how she creates not just music, but an experience that connects with people on a spiritual level. We talk about her behind-the-scenes rituals, what manifestation actually looks like in her day-to-day life, and how she stays grounded in a world that’s constantly on the move. If you’ve ever felt called to chase a dream, but fear, doubt, or outside noise held you back, this episode is for you. 💫

I’m speaking with self-sabotage expert Dr. Phil Agrios about how to spot and stop the hidden trait that's sabotaging your success. Dr. Phil spent over 35 years as a chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner and experienced firsthand how stress, overwhelm, and hidden emotional patterns derail even the most driven people. His experience fueled his research into human behavior, ultimately leading him to discover what he calls the “Hidden Biological Trait,” which is an inborn mechanism that unknowingly causes self-sabotage, imposter syndrome, procrastination, and fear of rejection and failure. Now, through his T-NOW method, he helps professionals identify this trait, neutralize it, and break free from the cycles that keep them stuck - allowing them to thrive both personally and professionally. If you’re looking for practical steps to overcome self-sabotage in your daily life, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I talk to someone I honestly never thought I’d get on my podcast. They (don't wanna reveal their identity before you watch/listen) have redefined what it means to manifest your wildest dreams. When you hear this person’s story, you’ll understand why they are one of the most talked-about figures of our time.
Their influence spans multiple industries - from tech to wellness to entertainment - and their work has been featured in magazines like The New York Times and Sports Illustrated. They claim to have hacked the human mind to unlock limitless optimization potential. They’ve had experience coaching billionaires, and they once went off the grid for a year and came back having doubled their 6-figure income. I'm excited for them to share their insights with you!
