Season One: The Journey to Heart to Heart –

Foundations of Heartfull Living

Before Heart to Heart: A Podcast for Heartfull Living came to be, there was Season One — a heartfelt collection of conversations, reflections, and real-life moments that laid the foundation for what would become our beloved podcast. Take a look back at the raw, honest beginnings — the stories that stirred our souls and inspired us to create a space for deeper connection, healing, and heart-centered living. Among these early moments is our unofficial second episode, where we explore the evolving and heartwarming role of stepmothering today with Alana U. Guilarte. Through open conversation and lived experience, we honor the love, complexity, and grace that stepmothers bring to modern families.

This is the origin story — not polished, but powerful. Not yet Heart to Heart, but every bit heartfull.

In the Season 2 premiere of the Heart to Heart Podcast, I sit down with my dear friend Carrie Scotti for an emotional, eye-opening conversation. We reflect on the devastating floods that recently took the lives of so many in Hidden Hills, Texas - an even that hit close to home for her.

Carrie also opens up about what it was like living through the early waves of COVID in California and the unexpected joy she found in the Texas community through the game of Mahjong. The episode is about grief & resilience. Stillness & survival. Laughter & healing.

Sometimes life rewrites the script - especially when it comes to birth plans. Lizzy Chiappy's story is a raw beautiful reminder that even when things don't go as planned, there's still so much grace in the journey.
