Cancer doesn’t get to decide: The Mindset That Changes Everything. Cara Lockwood & Samia Bano
2026/04/18
Can you laugh through pain?
Listen now to this raw and inspiring conversation with Cara Lockwood on facing #breastcancer, reclaiming control, and #findingstrength through humor, perspective, and self-compassion.
Cara Lockwood is the USA Today #bestsellingauthor behind "I Do (But I Don’t)," but her journey took a dramatic turn after a breast cancer diagnosis. Her book, "There’s No Good Book for This but I Wrote One Anyway: The Irreverent Guide to Crushing Breast Cancer", draws on her raw experiences and delivers what so many survivors crave: candor, empathy, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, even when treatment is at its toughest.
Cara shares not only the realities of recovery but also the importance of #hope, #humor, and #supportnetworks. She’s determined to give patients and loved ones practical ways to find courage and keep going, with each chapter ending on a pep talk for days when getting out of bed feels impossible. With half her proceeds going to breast cancer research and patient support, her work is built on generosity and community.

The Hidden Psychology of Success. With Albert Bramante & Samia Bano
2026/04/04
Tired of setting #biggoals and not following through?
What if #success itself is what you’re unconsciously afraid of?
Listen now to this interview with Albert Bramante, Ph.D. • Talent Agent • Psychology Professor • Author of "Rise Above the Script" to explore #fearofsuccess, identity shifts, and why achieving your goals can sometimes feel more terrifying than failing.
Dr. Albert Bramante breaks down the psychology behind self-sabotage, #selfesteem and the hidden patterns that keep you stuck — so you can finally shift into alignment and success.
About Albert Bramante, Ph.D.:
For over 20 years, Albert has helped performers, educators, and creators #breakthroughfear and self-doubt—whether that’s #impostersyndrome, self-sabotage, or believing they’re not “enough”—using a unique combination of #psychology, #hypnosis, #NLP, and practical tech skills.
As a professor, talent agent, and certified hypnotist, Albert's mission aligns with making change fun, actionable, and, yes, easy for creatives. He also teaches coaches and creators how to harness AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude to simplify content creation and cut down overwhelm.

Created to Adore: Rediscovering the Heart of Worship. With Samia Bano
2026/02/28
Acts of worship like prayer and fasting are meant to bring us closer to the divine. But for many of us they can cause stress, guilt, shame, even fear, for example when you miss a prayer and think you'll go to hell because it is a grave sin to have missed the prayer...
What if such fear, stress, guilt, and shame are actually blocking us from feeling closer to God?
This episode dives into how shifting from anxiety-driven worship to love-centered #devotion transforms our #worshipexperience and fills our lives with happiness.
We explore what it means that we were created to #worship God (as stated in the Quran, the Holy Scripture of the Muslims). This episode reframes worship as adoration—the highest form of love—and invites us to consciously deepen our #lovingrelationship with God.
NOTE: This episode is a recording of a live that Samia did during #Ramadan2026. #Ramadan is the Muslim month of fasting. As such the above mentioned concepts have been discussed primarily in the context of how Muslims understand and engage with Ramadan. However, you don't need to be Muslim to benefit and apply the concepts discussed in this episode. If you're someone who desires to further your #SpiritualGrowth grounded in compassion and love, this episode is for you!

Healing Spiritual Abuse, Reclaiming Self, and Learning to Love. Martha Kartaoui & Samia Bano
2026/01/13
Tired of being told #whoyouare and what to do? Want to stop merely existing and #startliving?
Listen now to this interview with Martha Glory Kartaoui, #Author, #Speaker, #Mentor, Life Visionary. Martha opens up about the profound loss of identity that follows cult #trauma. She invites listeners to ask the powerful question “Who am I really?” and reminds us that it’s never too late to begin again.
NOTE: Leaving a cult doesn’t automatically mean you’re free. Martha Kartaoui shares how #freedom requires rebuilding identity, healing deep trauma, and learning to make choices for the first time.
We also explore the #powerofconnection, the healing force of love, and how choosing life for others can sometimes open the door to choosing life and #choosinglove for ourselves.
