In this conversation, you'll discover: Why we're all naturally wired for flow How "spark moments" are actually invitations into alignment The role of intrinsic motivation and autonomy in well-being How small, intentional steps can rewire your brain for joy Laurie's FEEL framework: Focus, Engage, Equalize, Listen & Let Go The connection between flow, nervous system regulation, and emotional resilience Hilary also weaves in her HUG it Out Method, highlighting how humor, understanding, and gratitude create space for healing without the pressure to "fix" ourselves.
