Time For You: Nurturing Presence, Love, and Well-Being

In this TIME FOR YOU episode, Shailia Stephens and Lea Wernli wander into a tender, funny, and revealing exploration of “limitations” — the quirks, patterns, and imperfections we often try to hide or fix. From Lea’s spontaneous, hiking-in-Sweden-without-the-right-shoes to Shailia’s highly structured world, they unpack how our so-called weaknesses often shape our style, guide our creativity, and even become our strengths. A conversation about embracing who you already are, without forcing yourself into someone else’s blueprint. But also, playing the game in the other direction if you want to.   Join Us For the "My Secret Life" Interview Series We created the “My Secret Life” interview series to share a new understanding of human psychology, making insights and change easier for everyone, no matter where they are in their journey.

Not your usual talk about “doing less.” In this TIME FOR YOU conversation, Shailia Stephens and Lea Wernli explore the dance between being and doing—how peace of mind doesn’t cancel movement, and how creation can flow from stillness.

A warm, funny, and refreshingly real exploration of spiritual understanding meeting practical life—the place where wisdom rolls up its sleeves.   These are the 3 questions they were talking about: What would you like to do today? If you could only get one thing done what would it be? How can the Gods bless you today?   Join Us For the "My Secret Life" Interview Series We created the “My Secret Life” interview series to share a new understanding of human psychology, making insights and change easier for everyone, no matter where they are in their journey.

With humor, honesty, and real-life examples, they share how creating space between trigger and response opens the door to compassion, clarity, and deeper connection.   Join Us For the "My Secret Life" Interview Series We created the “My Secret Life” interview series to share a new understanding of human psychology, making insights and change easier for everyone, no matter where they are in their journey.

In this episode, psychologist and researcher Jeanne Catherine-Gray, PhD, co-founder and CEO of Innate Health Research, shares how real-world studies bring evidence to the Three Principles. Jeanne explains how her team measures “innate health” (our built-in capacity for resilience, clarity, and connection) and tracks its impact across high-risk settings — from prisons to unemployment programs and addiction recovery. We also explore Jeanne’s activist heart: why she believes curiosity over polarization prevents harm, how small civic actions restore agency, and why lived-experience voices belong at the center of mental-health solutions. If you care about science with a soul, bridging advocacy with data, and turning insight into compassionate action, this conversation will leave you steadier, kinder, and more empowered.Innate Health Research:https://innatehealthresearch.org/   Join Us For the "My Secret Life" Interview Series We created the “My Secret Life” interview series to share a new understanding of human psychology, making insights and change easier for everyone, no matter where they are in their journey.
