“We can make friends in any stage of life — and good friends.” –Adam Dorsay Do you crave more connection? Wondering who your people are at this stage of life? I’ve been exploring that myself and it keeps coming up in FLOW365, so today I’m diving into a conversation about connection with psychologist and coach Adam Dorsey.It starts with connecting with yourself. Adam suggests asking yourself, “What really brings me alive?” And he shares his FEED filter — Does an activity get you in Flow? Does it Energize you? Does it Educate? Does it add Depth?We all connect differently and have different schedules for connecting, but even introverts like me need connection.We talk about: Four kinds of connection to self, others, the world, and something greaterHow we all connect differentlyAdam’s driveaway test for connectionMeeting people through shared interest causes or meetupsHow dogs help us meet peopleWhether our in-person connection has changed since the pandemicTaking the risk to be vulnerableABOUT ADAMDr. Adam Dorsay is a licensed psychologist and executive coach in Silicon Valley where he serves high-achieving adults (including professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, and professional athletes).

Action is where change happens.Even though we want big change, it’s really little things done over and over that make the difference. So pick a doable thing. Put it in your calendar. Weave it through your days for a week and then move on to the next one. It will have a snowball effect.Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:CONNECT TO SELF. Before you work on connecting with others, deepen your connection to yourself. Start by asking: “What really brings me alive?” Not sure? As you go through your day, check your activities with the FEED filter: Does it get you in Flow? Does it Energize you? Does it Educate? Does it add Depth?TRY THE DRIVEAWAY TEST. Next time you are with somebody, check your connection with the driveaway test. How do you feel as you leave doing something with someone? Do you feel heard? Do you feel like there was a real, rich exchange? Do you feel discouraged, defeated, deflated? The answer tells you something about your connection with that person.MAKE A FRIEND DATE. Take a risk and initiate something with somebody you’ve met in a group setting or elsewhere. Ask if they want to get coffee or meet for a walk.

We’ve been conditioned to believe that if we just hustle harder, push through, and give more, we’ll break through—but life doesn’t always work that way.In this episode, I’m sharing a taste of FLOW365 and one of our monthly OM sessions. These gatherings are where our incredible teachers, like Kelly Lubeck (today’s guest) and Julie Hannon (coming soon), guide us through grounding practices to regulate our nervous systems, tap into intuition, and unlock our magic.It’s transformative work—practices that calm and energize, bring clarity to our vision, and help us get unstuck in the face of challenges.

Some are raising littles, while others are launching young adults into the world.But one thing they all have in common? They’re committed to prioritizing their wellness and well-being while creating lives of meaning.In our latest podcast episode, I sat down with four incredible FLOW365ers—Kelly, Eve, Susan, and Kiyomi—to share their journeys, what they’re balancing, and how they’ve transformed through FLOW365.Here’s a glimpse of their stories:Kelly moved across the country while launching her first group program, majorly decluttering her life, and navigating the joys and challenges of single motherhood with a tween.Eve shifted from chaos to calm, transitioning from teaching to launching her own book and course, supported by FLOW’s planning and accountability system.Susan left corporate life to build her own business, embracing a more feminine, aligned approach to planning while rediscovering her creativity.Kiyomi is rebalancing her life after a decade of caregiving and stepping fully into her identity as an artist, creating works that bring peace and beauty to the world.Each of these women shows what’s possible when you have the tools, structure, and community to follow through on what matters most.If you’re curious about how FLOW365 could help you balance business, life, and wellness, this conversation is a must-listen.

“Tapping is helping you find freedom from your emotions… You need to feel it to heal it… You have to feel it and move through it. then that can create some beautiful space for new things to happen.”  – Lauren FonvielleHow can tapping on your body help you with limiting beliefs? Or fear? Or anything else? The good news it can work even if you don’t believe in it. Tapping has made a huge difference for me and I’m excited to talk with Lauren Fonvielle, an Integrative Energy Practitioner, who specializes in EFT, about this practice.EFT is a practice of gently tapping on certain points of the body while simultaneously acknowledging the emotions that you're feeling. It can help with anxiety and stress, reducing physical pain, reducing cravings, and getting to the root of limiting beliefs that might be holding you back.We talk about: How tapping helps shift energy and why tapping is good for those emotions we try not to feelStarting globally if you are overwhelmed and moving into more specificsThe importance of the words you use while tapping feeling true to youFinding benefits in even a few minutes of tapping and the power of tapping before meditationAcknowledging the negative or hard stuff when we tap vs. positive affirmationsAssessing the intensity of the emotion at the beginning and end of a session(NEED TO Get PAGES FROM WORKBOOK)ABOUT LAURENLauren is an Integrative Energy Practitioner, specializing in EFT/ Tapping to help entrepreneurs reduce stress and increase profits.

Action is how change happens.Often we feel like our actions have to be huge to match the bigness of our desires, but we have seen over and over and over again that the little things add up. By stacking up a series of Doable Changes, you will create that big change that you crave. Choose the one that really resonates with you this week and really make it part of your life. NOTICE YOUR FEELINGS. Tapping is a way of acknowledging and working through emotions. You can start by simply trying to notice your emotions throughout the day, even if you often try to bury them.TRY TAPPING. Use Lauren’s free class or videos to get started if you’ve never done it before. You don’t need a lot of time, but see what happens when you come back to this practice day after day.ADD TAPPING BEFORE MEDITATION. This is a doable change to add on to another practice. If you already have a meditation practice, try adding some tapping to clear your mind a little before you start. If you are new to both meditation and tapping, pick one to start with and get comfortable with it before combining them.

In this episode, I’m sharing simple ways to reconnect with yourself and your vision—even in the midst of everything happening around us. We’ll talk about why it’s so important to make decisions from the heart and how we can still make meaningful shifts in these last weeks of 2024. I’m also inviting you to our free, live planning experience, Make December Matter, designed to help you wrap up the year with presence, peace, and intention. Let’s pause, take a breath together, and focus on what truly matters right now.
