The I’m Changing the Narrative Retreat and Joy Ball are this week! So, we pulled excerpts from conversations with the speakers who will be joining us for the retreat. Every single person you’ll hear in this episode has walked through fire in their own way and now uses their story, their grit, and even their imperfections to help other people rise.

You’ll hear from Laura Reed, international musician, who shares her journey from singing on the streets to writing at Sony—and why she chose integrity over a big paycheck. Laura talks about authenticity, activism, and the power of music to move the needle in people’s lives.

Jerremy Newsome joins us to talk about wealth in a way that goes far beyond money. Yes, he understands money at the highest levels and works with ultra-high-net-worth clients, but what he really teaches is energy—how we relate to money, fear, gratitude, and stewardship. He shares openly about losing millions of dollars (multiple times), what that taught him about gratitude, and the difference between making money, keeping money, and multiplying money. His perspective will challenge the way you think about abundance and possibility.

Shannon and Shirley Austin of Marriage Inc. speak candidly about rebuilding their marriage after infidelity, heartbreak, and deep personal reckoning. What makes their message so powerful is that it’s not about fixing the other person. It’s about radical accountability and choosing principles that guide how you show up. They talk about learning to become a student of your spouse instead of their critic, and how real peace begins when you stop pointing the finger outward and start doing the inner work.

Lindsay, our mindfulness and meditation guide, brings the conversation back to the brain and the body. She explains how visualization works on a scientific level—how the brain doesn’t know the difference between something vividly imagined and something experienced. Her work ties everything together: relationships, money, joy, healing. She reminds us that presence isn’t passive; it’s powerful.

If you’ve been craving clarity, accountability, financial wisdom, relational growth, or simply a reminder that you’re not alone, this episode will give you a glimpse of what happens when people come together with intention.

And if you’re already coming to the retreat or Joy Ball, we hope this prepares your heart for what’s ahead.
