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.

And this is Sisters in Law of Attraction

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.

Episode 5: Facing Fear and Finding Freedom

In this heartfelt episode of Sisters-in-Law of Attraction, Sam and Christine take a deep dive into fear — the silent force that keeps so many of us from living the lives we’re meant for. Fear can show up as control, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or anxiety about the future — but at its core, it’s resistance. And resistance blocks the good that the universe is trying to deliver.

Through personal stories and real conversations, Sam and Christine explore how fear disguises itself as practicality and protection, yet often limits growth and joy. Sam shares a moving story about a woman who lost her job and learned to see it not as a setback, but as a gift of time — a chance to pause, reflect, and realign. Christine opens up about her own experience with health anxiety and how she broke free from years of spiraling worry by shifting her thoughts and embracing trust.

The hosts discuss powerful mindset tools — from Joseph Campbell’s “cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek,” to Byron Katie’s The Work, which asks four simple but transformative questions to challenge fearful thoughts. They remind us that while fear is human, it doesn’t have to be our operating system. With awareness, faith, and discipline, we can rewrite the stories in our heads and change how we respond to life’s uncertainties.

Sam and Christine also touch on motherhood, control, and the purpose of living with joy. In one touching moment, Sam recalls a bedtime prayer with her son and the lesson she shared with him: “Your job is to lift others.” It’s a powerful reminder that our purpose is rooted in gratitude, love, and bringing light to those around us.

If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in fear — waiting for the other shoe to drop, doubting your worth, or trying to control every outcome — this episode will remind you that peace is always possible. You just have to change the tape playing in your mind and choose trust over fear.

Join Sam and Christine as they share laughter, vulnerability, and wisdom — helping you step out of the cave of fear and into the light of possibility.

Episode 4 – Rituals that Raise Your Vibe

In this episode of Sisters in Law of Attraction, we move from mindset to practice — the real daily rituals that help us get aligned, stay grateful, and open the door for what the universe is already trying to send our way.

Sam starts with a story about a girls’ trip to New York City — Broadway shows, subway rides, and laughter with three friends in their seventies. The twist? She first said out loud, “I want to do that someday,” fifteen years ago. When the invitation finally came, she almost talked herself out of it — too busy, too expensive, too indulgent. But she said yes. That trip became proof that manifestation works when you believe you deserve it and stay open long enough for it to arrive.

From there, we talk about tools that keep you in a high-vibe state — the ones that anchor you when life feels loud.

For Sam, it starts every morning. Before the coffee, before the phone, before anyone talks to her, she sits in her “morning chair,” lights a candle, and says a short prayer: “God, thank you for this day. Show me the way.” Then she writes ten quick lines that start with “I am grateful for…” Sometimes it’s big — helpful people, healthy family — and sometimes it’s simple — cool morning air, quiet time. But it works, because you can’t sit in fear and gratitude at the same time. After that, she steps outside with her coffee, looks at her backyard “Tree of Wisdom,” and simply says, thank you. That’s her reset.

Christine’s version looks different. With two teenage daughters and a busy household, her peace comes at night. Every evening around five, she takes a long bath — phone away, door closed, sometimes music, sometimes silence. It’s her way of washing the day off, literally letting it go down the drain. She calls it “rinsing the day away.” Sometimes she journals. Sometimes she just breathes. The point isn’t a perfect routine; it’s having a moment that’s yours.

We also talk about a few things that keep us centered no matter what’s happening.

Don’t worship the problem. Worrying about what could go wrong is just feeding fear. Choose to trust that there’s an answer instead.

Relax your body. Drop your shoulders, unclench your jaw, and let your breath remind your brain that you’re safe.

Go for a walk. No earbuds, no input — just quiet. Look at the sky, notice the air, let your thoughts move. Movement clears energy.

And most of all, give yourself permission to receive. Saying yes to joy, yes to rest, yes to good things isn’t selfish. It’s alignment.

These rituals — whether it’s ten minutes of journaling or a nightly soak — are how we get back into the lane of gratitude and calm. They’re the daily maintenance of a mindset that works.

So this week, try one small ritual of your own. Sit in quiet before your day starts, or step outside with your coffee and say thank you, or end your night with a bath that rinses the worry away. Tiny moments become powerful when you do them on purpose.

Because when you start your day grounded in gratitude, you stop blocking what’s already meant for you.

We’re so glad you’re here.

I’m Sam.

I’m Christine.

And this is Sisters in Law of Attraction.

Episode 3: Our Gatekeeper, Fear

In this episode of Sisters in Law of Attraction, we face the thing that blocks nearly every dream: fear.

Last time we talked about the three steps to creating the life you want—feel good and align, get clear on what you want, then take action.

Today we dig into why step three is so hard—and how to move through it.

Christine shares a quote that changed everything:

“The cave you fear holds the treasure you seek. Facing the shadows shows that reality is far less scary than perception. The same person guarding the door is the one who can unlock it.”

Translation: you are both the gate and the key.

Fear stories sound logical: I’ll fail. I’ll look stupid. People will judge me. But they’re just protection patterns that keep us small.

Sam talks about writing her first book—how terrifying it felt to put her own words out after a career writing for others. Yet the treasure on the other side was growth, confidence, and freedom.

Control is another disguise for fear. We over-manage because we’re scared the outcome won’t go our way. Letting go isn’t weakness—it’s trust. It’s saying, I believe the universe has my back.

Christine opens up about years spent in survival mode, always waiting for the next bad thing. Clinging to comfort never stopped pain; it only stole her joy between crises. Fear convinces us our comfort zone is safe—it’s not. It’s a cage.

Sam shares how anger during COVID masked grief and fear. When she finally let go of control, she discovered gratitude as her anchor.

Every morning she writes, I am grateful for… ten times. That act shifted her out of anger and into calm. You can’t live in fear and gratitude at the same time.

Christine uses journaling and “spiritual reps” the same way—podcasts, meditations, books—to remind herself that life has always worked out somehow. She’s still here, proof that faith works better than worry.

Most of the time, fear means you care. You don’t fear things that don’t matter. So instead of treating fear as a stop sign, treat it as a compass—it’s pointing toward something valuable.

We close with two questions to work on this week:

1. What cave are you avoiding?

   Public speaking, a job change, raising your prices, setting a boundary, launching that dream?

2. What treasure is behind it?

   Freedom, pride, peace, time, confidence, joy?

Write it down. Notice how fear shrinks once it’s named.

Remember: fear is loud, but it’s not the truth. Awareness is the first step; gratitude and action are the next.

You’ve survived every hard thing so far. You can walk into the cave and claim what’s yours.

I’m Sam. I’m Christine. And this is Sisters in Law of Attraction.

Episode 2: Eat the Whole Damn Pie

In this episode of Sisters in Law of Attraction, we’re talking about something most of us were never taught to do: take up space in our own lives.

We call it “eating the whole damn pie.” Translation: daring to live big, want big, and feel big — even when others settle for crumbs and judge you for wanting more.

We open with the question: What would you do if you knew you could not fail? For Christine, that answer used to feel impossible. Now? “I’d start a podcast.” (Hi. Here we are.) We talk about why stepping outside your comfort zone is the only way growth ever happens, and why “I’m fine” is usually fear in disguise.

Sam shares a story about a woman she met at the eye doctor — a single mom who had never flown before, dreamed of financial freedom, and described the feeling of winning the lottery: lightness, relief, peace. Sam reminds her that she can feel that now. That’s the essence of the Law of Attraction — the power of aligning your energy with what you want before it arrives.

We break down what we call the pie of success:

1. The Feels.

You have to feel the energy of the life you want before it shows up. You don’t manifest from fear — you manifest from belief.

2. The Vision.

Most people know what they don’t want, but few dare to name what they do want. We talk about defining your dreams — not in exact logistics, but in emotional clarity. I want freedom. I want joy. I want ease. You don’t need to know how; you just need to name it and trust the path.

3. The Action.

This is where dreams usually die. Everyone says “We should start a podcast someday,” but fear keeps them still. Fear of judgment. Fear of looking foolish. Fear of failing in public. We share how taking imperfect action changes everything — and how we pushed past our own fears to finally make this show real.

We also talk about critics — the people who live small and call your confidence “toxic positivity.” They’re simply uncomfortable with someone who dares to live big. We unpack why living fully isn’t delusion — it’s leadership.

Christine opens up about how fear used to keep her “safe”: afraid to fail, afraid to want more, afraid to lose what she had. She’s now rewriting that story — claiming that she and her family deserve comfort, joy, and peace. Sam shares how discomfort became her fuel: writing a book, running for public office, and failing publicly. Surviving it taught her that failure doesn’t define you — fear does.

We also talk about motherhood and the mirror our kids hold up to us. How can we tell them to live boldly if we don’t? How can we preach courage while quietly staying small?

The takeaway: You have nothing to lose by living big. Time passes either way. You can spend it waiting for the next bad thing, or you can spend it building something extraordinary.

Your homework:

• Ask yourself: If I couldn’t fail, what would I do?

• Write down two small actions you can take this week toward that goal.

You don’t need a perfect roadmap. You just need to move. The universe meets you halfway.

You are not here to nibble at life.

You are here to eat the whole damn pie.

Episode 1: The Awakening

In our very first episode, we (Sam and Christine) talk about why you’re here…and why it’s not an accident.

We open up about how this podcast was born: two sisters-in-law who have spent decades sharing mindset tools, survival tricks, and “high vibey” conversations about the Law of Attraction — not as woo, but as a way to take back control of your life by taking back control of your thoughts.

Christine walks through her “awakening,” after years of living in survival mode. She talks honestly about stacked trauma: loss, betrayal from an employer that literally imploded overnight, financial panic, and feeling like life just kept happening to her. She describes that moment of absolute collapse in the driveway — anger, fear, grief, total “why us?” energy — and what it took to finally stop waiting for the next bad thing and realize: nobody’s coming to save us.

Sam talks about watching that moment and saying the thing that shifted everything: “This isn’t serving you. You have to bless it and release it.” We unpack what that actually means in real life (not in Pinterest quotes): owning what happened, letting go of the obsession with the worst-case scenario, and choosing how you move forward.

We also get into the difference between spirituality and religion, how we define “the universe,” and why joy and gratitude are not fluffy concepts — they’re practices. Christine shares how she started doing the work: catching every negative thought in real time and flipping it, out loud, even when her kids rolled their eyes. Within two weeks, her energy had changed so much that her own family told her they felt different too.

We talk about stepping out of victim mode, releasing control as a form of fear, and refusing to “worship the problem.” (Yes, including when something expensive in your house breaks and your first instinct is panic.) We also talk about tests — how the universe will absolutely hand you situations that ask, “Are you serious about this new mindset, or are you just saying the words?”

You’ll hear how this all turned into a movement for us: the accidental birth of the show at a summer night concert (wine involved, zero apologies), the moment we said “We need to do a podcast,” and why we’re calling it Sisters in Law of Attraction.

At its core, this podcast is about building a community of people who are done living small. We believe the biggest gift you can give anyone — your partner, your kids, your friends — is your own happiness. You can’t fix other people. But you can shift yourself, and that shift is contagious.

This episode is for you if:

• You feel like life keeps blindsiding you and you’re just bracing for the next hit

• You’re tired of replaying worst-case scenarios in your head

• You want to believe you actually have power, but you’re not sure where to start

• You’re curious how mindset, gratitude, and energy can translate into real-world change (money, work, relationships, peace in your own body)

We’re not coming to you as gurus. We’re coming to you from two different points in the journey: Sam, a decade into this work, and Christine, newly in it and already feeling the shift. We’re doing this in real time, with you.

Welcome to Sisters in Law of Attraction. You’re here for a reason.
