Do you ever feel like you're in a personal "riptide" just trying to survive?

Sometimes, we've been in "survival mode" for so long, we don't even realize it. My friend Leslie Haynes lived this reality, pushing through layers of profound trauma.

She looked like she was thriving on the outside, but inside, her body was screaming, "Get out."

At 31, she was bedridden, and all of it was tied to unprocessed trauma.

But Leslie's story is not just about pain; it's about a counterintuitive path to healing. She discovered that what is broken in relationships has to be restored in relationships. She found a way to stop hiding and start living fully—not by being tougher but by becoming curious.

In our conversation, Leslie revealed a few things that might just flip your perspective on its head:

• Why "any connection is better than no connection" is a lie that can keep you trapped.
• How unprocessed trauma can literally cause physical paralysis.
• Why "choosing your hard" is one key to finally moving forward.

Are you ready to find out what your body has been trying to tell you all along?

Watch my full inspirational people interview with Leslie on the Share Life podcast to hear her journey from a shell of a person to being fully alive.

P.S. You don’t have to fight your battle alone. The right people will choose to stay.

Tired of feeling alone in a crowded room?

It's a silent struggle. You're around people, even family or friends, but that deep isolation hits. Why? You think more connections will fix it. You think being busy helps. Think again.

We're facing a connection crisis. Loneliness is a public health crisis, just like smoking 15 cigarettes a day. And most advice misses the point.

What if the problem isn't just being alone? What if it's how we're connecting? We're more online than ever, but these digital bonds often lack depth. You might even be trapped by your own internal story.

Curious how our modern world makes loneliness worse? What if your efforts to connect are actually pushing people away? Or what if that person you thought you knew, you absolutely didn't?

Want the surprising revelation?

Listen to the full conversation now to unmask the hidden costs of our hyper-connected world and find out what makes it better.

P.S. If you've ever asked, "What's wrong with me?" when you feel lonely, you're not alone. This video validates your experience and offers a smarter path forward.

What if the popular advice about retirement is completely wrong for you?

In this Share Life Podcast discussion with Kassi Hyde, I cut through the noise and expose a few truths:

• The Roth 401k mistake: Everyone is saying you need to "push Roth." But if you're in a high tax bracket, that advice could cause you to pay a lot more in taxes. It simply doesn't fit for everybody.
• The "perfect life" illusion: It's easy to get wrapped up in what other people have. But you're not seeing what they don't have—or what they've given up to get there.
• The advisor red flag: If your advisor ever dismisses your questions by saying, "Don't worry, I got this," that is not a way to do business. Trust is built on answers.
