In this episode, host Hilary Russo sits down with Brett Cotter, founder of Stress Is Gone, to explore what it really means to release emotional pain instead of powering through it.

What if the simplest way to shift your life… started with a pen and a blank page? In this expansive and joy-filled conversation, Hilary sits down with internationally respected intuitive, author, and artist Colette Baron-Reid to explore how intentional art can rewire the brain, regulate the nervous system, and open us to synchronicity in ways vision boards alone can't. From celebrating 40 years of sobriety to rediscovering line art during the pandemic, Colette shares how doodling became more than self-expression, it became a portal to resilience, surrender, and conscious co-creation. Together, they unpack the difference between instinct and intuition, why manifestation isn't about control, and how creating from a state of "stupefied gratitude" helps us rehearse possibility instead of fear. You'll hear the powerful story behind her book "The Art of Manifesting" and why leaving space for the unexpected, what she calls the "zone of synchronicity," may be the missing link in calling in what you truly desire. If you've been craving a way to feel grounded, inspired, and creatively alive in uncertain times, this conversation will remind you that art isn't a luxury, it's human technology for hope.

It's estimated that close to 60 million people in the United States are family caregivers, providing unpaid care to loved ones with health issues or disabilities. This number continues to rise. Family caregivers often face challenges balancing their own lives and major health problems of their own due to caregiving responsibilities. This makes their role increasingly critical yet often under-supported.
