Episode 5 – Be Intentional With Your Time (and Your Energy)

In this episode of Sisters in Law of Attraction, we talk about one of the hardest lessons in staying high-vibe: being intentional with your time and who you spend it with.

Christine shares what life looks like with two teenage daughters who are constantly moving—school, sports, friends, homework—and still wanting home, comfort, and connection. It’s the pull between “I’m grown” and “I still need you.” Nights vanish in a blur of tasks, and suddenly it’s bedtime with no real time together.

Her reminder to the girls—and to all of us—is that time won’t magically appear later. It only gets busier. You have to plan for connection. Bake cookies, bump the volleyball, watch a show, sit on the couch and talk. If you don’t choose it, it disappears.

We connect this to rituals: Sam protects her early-morning gratitude time; Christine keeps her evening bath, even if it’s 7 p.m. instead of 5. These small, consistent choices are how you protect your peace.

Then we go deeper—into energy. Every interaction is an exchange. After time with someone, do you feel lifted or drained? Sam shares how she’s become intentional about reaching out to people who inspire her and limit time with those who pull her down. It’s not judgment—it’s stewardship of your own energy.

We’ve all been in the conversations that kill the vibe. The constant complaining feels like bonding, but it drains your spirit. Protect your vibration. Keep company with people who remind you who you are becoming, not who you used to be.

Jen Sincero writes that people around us are mirrors. The ones who inspire us show our potential. The ones who trigger us reveal what we still need to heal. The ones who drain us show where we’ve stopped protecting ourselves. Paying attention to those reflections is how we grow.

This isn’t about perfection; it’s about awareness. The more you notice how you feel after interactions, the easier it becomes to choose wisely. You can’t stay high-vibe in low-energy rooms.

At its core, this conversation is about priorities.

Time won’t slow down.

Your relationships won’t maintain themselves.

Your energy isn’t infinite.

So this week, try two simple shifts:

Be intentional with your time—plan one meaningful moment and protect it.

Be intentional with your people—notice who fills you and who empties you.

That’s the real work of the Law of Attraction: choosing where your attention and energy go. When you do, you stop living by default and start living on purpose.

You deserve people who lift you, moments that refill you, and a life that feels like yours.

We’re so glad you’re here.

I’m Sam.

I’m Christine.

Episode 7: Resilience — Just Get Back Up

In this episode of Sisters-in-Law of Attraction, Sam and Christine go all-in on resilience: what it actually looks like in real life, why it matters, and why you cannot live a big, joyful, high-vibe life without it.

We talk about the moments that knock you flat — losing a job overnight, watching your financial safety net disappear, getting hit with a major health battle for the third time, hearing “no” when you’ve poured your whole heart into something — and what it takes to stand back up anyway.

Christine shares the story of when the company she and her husband worked for shut down with no warning. Overnight, their income vanished. The house, the kids, the plan — everything was suddenly at risk. She walks through what resilience looked like in that moment: not pretending it was fine, not collapsing into panic, but going into immediate problem-solving mode. What fire needs to be put out first? How long can we float? What do we need to earn to keep the house? Who do we call? Where can we pivot fast? She talks about her husband leaning on the reputation he’d built over years, and her own pivot into work that let her still be present for their kids. Survival, yes — but also clarity, ownership, and forward motion.

Sam talks about watching her mother face breast cancer for the third time. By any measure, this would be a “fall apart in the corner and cry” moment. Instead, her mother chooses a different frame: I’ve beaten this twice. I can do it again. I trust my doctors. I trust the treatment. I choose faith. That’s resilience, too. It’s not pretending you feel great. It’s refusing to surrender your mind.

We also get into resilience as a practice, not a personality trait. People love to say “you’re just strong,” but strength isn’t magic. It’s reps. It’s training the mind to pivot. It’s catching the spiral before it becomes your story. It’s saying: I can visit fear, grief, anger — but I will not live there.

Sam and Christine talk about teaching this to their kids. You can’t bubble-wrap them. If you protect them from every failure, the first “no” will destroy them. Resilience comes from hearing “no,” feeling it, and getting back in the game anyway. Whether it’s Sam’s daughter crying in the car before giving a student government speech after a breakup (“balls on, tits up — go do the thing”), or Sam’s son navigating rejection in high-stakes internship interviews, the message is the same: you’re allowed to be hurt. You’re not allowed to quit on yourself.

We also explore the connection between resilience and purpose. Comfort feels safe, but constant comfort can quietly drain you. When you stop stretching, you stop growing. When you stop growing, you stop feeling useful. And when you lose purpose, you lose energy and joy. Resilience is what keeps you moving toward the life you’re here to live — not the small version, the full version.

Finally, we return to a core theme of this show: your thoughts create your reality. Resilience is the muscle that lets you rewrite the story in real time. I am not ruined. I am not done. I am not a victim. I’m being redirected. I’ll pivot. I’ll try again. I’ll get back up.

You do not need a perfect life to live high-vibe. You need discipline, faith, and the willingness to keep standing up when life knocks you down. That’s resilience. That’s the work.

Episode 6: with Brian Hanna

In this episode of Sisters-in-Law of Attraction, Sam and Christine sit down with special guest Brian Hanna — an endurance runner, athlete development professional, and MBA candidate — to talk about what happens when you stop choosing comfort and start choosing growth.

We open with the idea from Michael Easter’s book The Comfort Crisis: our ancestors chased comfort to survive, but today our constant comfort is making us weaker, more anxious, and less connected to purpose. Brian chose to push against that. One day, he just started running. Since then he’s run six marathons, two ultramarathons, and more halves than he can count.

Brian walks us through the difference between a marathon and an ultra. A marathon, he says, can end in tears of joy. An ultra ends in a different kind of tears — the kind that come from grit, pain, and choosing to take one more step when everything in you wants to quit. After 26.2 miles, it’s not just about the body anymore. It’s about who you’re willing to become.

He shares how it started: watching his older brother go from half marathons to a 50-mile race in Leadville, Colorado. Seeing that transformation lit something in him. He began running in high school, drifted, then came back to it during COVID. While the world shut down, Brian decided to speed up. He used that global interruption to ask, “Who do I want to be on the other side of this?”

From there, the conversation moves into discipline, faith, and purpose. Brian talks about the mindset shift from chasing motivation to practicing discipline: showing up daily, doing the hard thing when the easy thing is right there. He shares a core belief — it’s better to be consistently good than occasionally great. He also talks about honoring his body as a gift from God and pushing past comfort as a form of spiritual stewardship.

We explore how comfort can quietly rob us. When life is too easy — food delivered, work from home, constant entertainment, no need to leave the house — we stop testing ourselves. We stop needing each other. And when we stop engaging with challenge and community, anxiety and depression creep in. We lose purpose. We numb instead of grow.

Sam and Christine connect this back to what we see everywhere: people retreating, self-protecting, staying home, staying small. We tell ourselves it’s safety, but often it’s fear. Brian argues that purpose comes from the opposite. Purpose lives in the reps of doing hard things. Getting up before dawn to train when the bed is warm. Running in the cold rain because you said you would. Choosing “the hard right over the easy wrong.” How you do anything is how you do everything.

The episode closes with a powerful reminder from Theodore Roosevelt’s “Man in the Arena.” The credit belongs to the one who shows up, gets scraped, bleeds, tries, fails, and tries again — not the “cold and timid souls” who avoid risk and never find out what they’re capable of. That’s Brian’s challenge to all of us: stop waiting to feel ready. Get in the arena. Do something hard on purpose. Not to suffer — to wake up.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, unmotivated, disconnected, or anxious, this one matters. It’s not about running 50 miles. It’s about deciding you are not here to sit in comfort. You are here to build resilience, find purpose, and lift others by the way you live.
