What if real strength is refusing the bait—staying human while you name the pattern?In Part 2 of the Leisa Peterson series, Colleen and Leisa get practical about what to do when the world is loud: how to name patterns without feeding fear, practice fierce compassion with real boundaries, and create safety together without pretending we all agree. You’ll hear grounded language for staying regulated, holding complexity, and remembering that collective healing isn’t built through individual heroics — it’s built through human beings choosing steadiness and care on purpose.Make sure to check out Leisa's Substack, Equal Stakes, and connect with her at wealthclinic.com.

What if “transcendence” isn’t about escaping the world—but waking up from its deceptive trance?WeBeTheChange host Colleen Akiko and Leisa Peterson--Wealth Coach, Author and Financial Intuitive, discuss the larger pattern behind our culture’s distress: a scarcity-based trance that keeps people reactive, divided, and exhausted. (Do we detect a familiar Ugh?)Leisa shares how her decades in finance—and her decades on a spiritual path—converged into a new way of seeing: paradox is now the training ground. We explore what it means to hold fear and keep moving, to seek unity and keep boundaries.And we remember that love is a rich, roll-up-your-sleeves practice to cultivate over time.Visit Leisa at wealthclinic.com; resources at SongRise.live

Welcome to We Be The Change and this second segment of the series A Fearlessly Feral Life with Rev. Karen Linsley. In Part 2 we dive into New Thought as a grounded path for recovery—where principle is not bound by precedent and healing means changing our thinking to change our life. Karen traces sobriety from her Thanksgiving‑day treatment intake in 1986 to ministerial training, interim ministry, and writing A New Thought Journey Through the 12 Steps.Join our conversation about what New Thought is, and how it becomes a practical engine for recovery by integrating 12‑Step wisdom with consciousness, choice, and oneness. In these volatile times, such pragmatic spirituality becomes embodied freedom, not just abstinence.If this strikes a familiar chord, feel free to share below--e.g., what belief shift most supported your recovery?You're invited to access supportive Bonus Content, fresh resources and the FREE eGuide, Out of Your Head, Into Your Light at SongRise.LIVE
