  • Marketing That Actually Converts with Jessica Krewson

    Marketing That Actually Converts with Jessica Krewson
    2026/10/15

    In this episode of Stories From The Lost & Found, I sit down with Jessica Krewson to talk about how to grow your email list and build funnels that convert. Jessica is the founder of Design Krew and has spent 15 years building the funnels behind six-figure launches, including a single webinar that closed $100,000 in sales for a client. We talk about why most businesses don’t need more marketing, they need marketing that actually converts to an offer, and how a small list of raving fans can create a six-figure launch without running ads. Jessica also opens up about untangling her identity from her business and her changing relationship with failure.

    In this episode, we explore:
    - Why growing your email list matters more than ever as Meta limits, shadow bans and shuts down accounts.
    - How to create a free offer, like a short video, that soothes your ideal client’s 2 a.m. problem in 15 minutes or less.
    - How a $27 webinar, a small but loyal email list and zero paid ads led to a six-figure launch.
    - Three simple ways to get your emails out of spam and promotions and into the primary inbox.
    - The three-email strategy: a value email, a promotional email and a quick “hand raiser.”
    - How Jessica separated her identity from her business and stopped believing in failure.

    Jessica’s story is such a powerful reminder that you don’t need a huge audience to have a giant impact, but you do need strategy and support. And when fear of being seen, fear of failing or that feeling of being alone in your business shows up, those are often parts of us trying to keep us safe. We don’t need to push them away. We can meet them with compassion, stay with them and keep going.

    Tune in for an honest and practical conversation about email marketing, conversion funnels, visibility, video, webinar launches, entrepreneurship and what becomes possible when your business is no longer who you are.

  • The Perfectionist

    The Perfectionist
    2026/10/08
    Perfectionism Is a Protection SystemThis solo episode breaks down perfectionism as a subconscious safety strategy, not a character flaw. Krishna Avalon explains how conditional worth gets encoded early, how internal family systems maps the perfectionist manager and the younger exile underneath, and how that pattern can be updated at the nervous system level.We discuss where perfectionism comes from, why it keeps moving the goalpost, and how self-energy creates enough safety for the system to soften. The episode ends with a guided practice to help you notice and meet the part of you that rushes, criticizes, or never lets you land.Key topicsPerfectionism is framed as a protection system, not a standard of excellenceThe core subconscious programs behind it are named explicitly:My worth is conditional on my performanceGood enough is never actually enoughIf I relax my standards, everything will fall apartPerformance is broadened beyond work to include emotions, appearance, behavior, and how little trouble you causeThe developmental roots are traced to conditional praise, a perfectionistic household atmosphere, instability, or a formative humiliationIn Internal Family Systems terms, the perfectionist is a manager part trying to prevent exposure and lossThe manager’s strategies include constant monitoring, moving the bar, preemptive overexplaining, and deflecting complimentsThe exile underneath carries the wound of conditional worth and the longing to be loved for being, not producingSelf-energy is presented as calm, compassionate, playful presence that can help the manager step backThe episode explains why insight alone is not enough and introduces Psyche as a way to update subconscious programming in a whole brain stateThe closing practice invites listeners to slow down, notice sensations, and offer the protective part respect and permissionTimestamps00:00 - Why perfectionism is really about fear, not standards02:45 - What this episode will cover and how the practice fits in03:43 - The core subconscious programs driving perfectionism04:13 - Worth becoming conditional on performance05:39 - Why good enough never feels enough06:41 - Why relaxing standards feels dangerous from the inside07:47 - Where perfectionist programs come from in early development10:25 - The perfectionist as a manager part in IFS11:44 - Monitoring, revising, and mentally replaying everything12:23 - How perfectionism shapes how you receive compliments13:28 - The exile carrying the wound of conditional worth15:06 - What Self-energy is and why it matters16:25 - How the exile begins to feel enough without producing17:18 - Why insight loosens the pattern but does not fully update it18:24 - Using PSYCH-K to create a whole brain state for new beliefs19:50 - What changes in the body as the old program shifts20:27 - Perfectionism as a sophisticated protection system21:10 - Why the manager can finally rest, not be exiled22:08 - Beginning the guided practice23:28 - Slowing down to help the system feel safe24:00 - Noticing and befriending the part that wants to hurry25:10 - Every part in the system has a role in survival26:24 - The main IFS move: slow down and connect to Self-energy27:33 - Letting the part know you see it and it is not alone29:19 - Reflection on the framework and how it is used in session30:14 - Closing encouragement and mention of Self and Self-like parts nextKey frameworksInternal Family Systems: perfectionism is a manager protecting a younger exile carrying conditional-worth painSelf-energy: the calm, compassionate, present quality that can relate to parts without fearPSYCH-K whole-brain state: used here to update subconscious beliefs at the level where they were encodedNotable quotes“The perfectionism isn’t about the work.

  • When the Dream You Built No Longer Fits with Danielle Lauren

    When the Dream You Built No Longer Fits with Danielle Lauren
    2026/10/01

    In this episode of Stories From The Lost & Found, I reconnect with my longtime friend Danielle Lauren, an experiential teacher, mentor and founder of the Elevated Experience Method. For the past two decades, Danielle has created transformative experiences, programs, masterminds and luxury retreats around the world. We talk about the evolution of her work, the identity she built around success, and what happened when the business and mission she thought she was meant to build no longer felt like hers. Danielle opens up about burnout, changing her mind, redefining success and learning to choose pleasure, rest and what she actually wants, without abandoning her ambition, power or purpose.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • Why real transformation often begins with identity and self-concept, not another strategy.
    • How Danielle built extraordinary success through relentless devotion and eventually recognized the cost of always pushing.
    • What happens when the dream, business or identity you worked so hard to create no longer feels aligned.
    • Why changing your mind doesn’t mean you’ve failed, it can be an invitation to evolve.
    • How burnout, rest and even something as simple as taking a nap can completely change the way we relate to productivity.
    • Why choosing pleasure isn’t selfish and how Danielle is rebuilding her life and work around what she genuinely desires.

    Danielle’s story is such a powerful reminder that we’re allowed to evolve beyond the identities, commitments and versions of success that once defined us. Sometimes the next chapter isn’t about pushing harder or proving that we can hold more. It’s about trusting ourselves enough to choose differently, to rest, experience more pleasure, follow what lights us up and create success without leaving ourselves until last.

    Tune in for an uplifting and deeply honest conversation about burnout, identity, self-trust, mentorship, pleasure, reinvention and what becomes possible when you give yourself permission to change your mind and build your next chapter around the life you actually want to live.

  • The Fixer

    The Fixer
    2026/09/25

    In this conversation, Krishna explores the concept of the 'Fixer' within individuals, discussing the subconscious programs that drive this behavior, the origins of these patterns, and their impact on relationships. The discussion emphasizes the importance of Self energy within the framework of IFS (Internal Family Systems): presence, care, compassion, and stillness to update the need to fix others as a survival strategy for creating safety.

    The Fixer often feels the need to solve problems for others to earn love and acceptance but also to create safety and protect the part that feels that stillness is not safe.


    Being present without fixing can feel uncomfortable.


    The subconscious programs of the fixer are rooted in survival.
    The fixer often equates their value with their usefulness.
    Helplessness is perceived by the fixer as a threat.


    The origins of the Fixer often stem from childhood experiences.
    Self-energy is crucial for the Fixer to feel safe and supported.
    Updating subconscious beliefs can change the urgency to fix.
    Practicing presence can deepen relationships and increase connection. Presence is more available when we are not trying to fix.

  • Building Unshakable Confidence with Morgan Barkus

    Building Unshakable Confidence with Morgan Barkus
    2026/09/17

    In this episode of Stories From The Lost & Found, I sit down with Morgan Barkus, confidence coach for women, author, speaker and exotic dance instructor with a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy. Morgan helps women stop people pleasing, stop settling and start showing up unapologetically confident in their bodies, relationships and lives. We talk about her unconventional path from stripping and graduate school to the corporate world and coaching, why confidence isn’t something you’re born with but a skill you build, and the powerful journey of learning to trust yourself enough to create a life and love that actually feels like yours.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • Why confidence is a skill you build, not something you’re born with.
    • How to rewrite old stories, self-criticism and limiting beliefs.
    • Why knowing what you want helps you set boundaries and stop settling.
    • How Morgan shifted from people pleasing to choosing herself in relationships.
    • How getting clear on the love she wanted led to an unexpected meeting in Paris.
    • Why self-trust matters more than following someone else’s rules for your life.

    Morgan’s story is such a powerful reminder that confidence isn’t about never feeling insecure, anxious or afraid. It’s about developing enough trust in yourself to meet those moments, support yourself through them and keep choosing what you truly want. Whether it’s your body, your career, your relationships or the way you show up in the world, you don’t have to keep living by an old script, you get to decide what comes next.

    Tune in for an uplifting and empowering conversation about confidence, self-trust, relationships, manifestation, limiting beliefs and what becomes possible when you stop looking outside yourself for the rules and start trusting yourself enough to create a life that feels deeply, unapologetically yours.

  • The Part of You That Feels Alone

    The Part of You That Feels Alone
    2026/09/10

    Each solo episode explores a pattern that many of us carry, as both a subconscious program installed early in life and a protective part through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS). Because these patterns live beneath conscious awareness, understanding them intellectually is never quite enough. That's why every episode ends with an integration practice, a gentle, guided experience designed to give your nervous system something new to work with. Not more information to carry, but an actual felt sense to shift the pattern. This is how neuroplasticity works, the brain's ability to form new neural pathways, not through insight alone, but through new experience, repeated over time.

    In this episode, I explore the part of you that feels fundamentally alone, even when you are surrounded by people, love and connection. I share how this deep subconscious wound can develop early in life, how our protector parts work tirelessly to keep us from feeling it, and how Internal Family Systems (IFS) and subconscious work can help us meet these parts with compassion, safety and self-energy.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • How “I am alone” can show up as hyper-independence and difficulty receiving support.
    • Why anger, anxiety, overworking and numbing can be protective strategies.
    • How early experiences can create a lasting wound of aloneness.
    • How IFS helps us understand our protectors, exiles and self-energy.
    • How subconscious work can create more safety, connection and self-trust.
    • A guided practice to connect compassionately with the parts that need you.

    The part of you that feels alone does not need to be pushed away, fixed or forced to change. When we approach our parts with curiosity, compassion and presence, we can begin to show them that they no longer have to carry everything by themselves. As our protectors learn to trust us, there can be more space for connection, self-trust and a new experience of being held from within.

    Tune in to this episode for an empowering exploration of loneliness, subconscious beliefs, IFS, protector parts and learning to meet the parts of yourself that have been waiting to know they are no longer alone.

  • Healing Your Relationship With Food From the Inside Out with Sabrina Magnan

    Healing Your Relationship With Food From the Inside Out with Sabrina Magnan
    2026/09/03

    In this episode of Stories From The Lost & Found, I sit down with Sabrina Magnan, food relationship coach and host of Live Unrestricted, a podcast dedicated to helping women break free from food obsession and reclaim their lives. After years of disordered eating, restriction, over-exercising and trying to control her body, Sabrina reached a point where she realized just how much of her life she was losing to food and body obsession. We talk about her journey from counting calories at her sister’s baby shower to discovering a completely different relationship with food in Italy, and how healing at the level of the nervous system, subconscious mind and identity helped her rebuild trust with herself.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • How perfectionism and body pressure shaped Sabrina’s relationship with food.
    • The moment she realized food obsession was taking her away from her life.
    • How Italy helped her see food through the lens of pleasure, connection and nourishment.
    • Why bingeing, restricting and overworking can be protective nervous system patterns.
    • How subconscious and IFS work can help create safety around change.
    • Why healing begins with slowing down, listening inward and rebuilding self-trust.

    Sabrina’s story is a powerful reminder that the behaviours we desperately want to change are often doing something deeper for us. When we stop fighting ourselves and become curious about what our patterns are protecting us from, we can begin creating change from a place of compassion, safety and self-trust.

    Tune in for an empowering conversation about food freedom, perfectionism, nervous system healing, subconscious patterns and what becomes possible when we stop trying to control our way into feeling safe and start learning how to trust ourselves instead.

  • Imposter Syndrome

    Imposter Syndrome
    2026/08/27

    Each solo episode explores a pattern that many of us carry, as both a subconscious program installed early in life and a protective part through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS). Because these patterns live beneath conscious awareness, understanding them intellectually is never quite enough. That's why every episode ends with an integration practice, a gentle, guided experience designed to give your nervous system something new to work with. Not more information to carry, but an actual felt sense to shift the pattern. This is how neuroplasticity works, the brain's ability to form new neural pathways, not through insight alone, but through new experience, repeated over time.

    In this episode, I explore what is really underneath imposter syndrome and why success does not always make it disappear. I share how subconscious beliefs like “I’m not enough,” “I don’t belong here” and “I don’t deserve this” can shape our experience, and how Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps us understand imposter syndrome as a protective part rather than something we need to fight.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • Why imposter syndrome can persist even when you are successful.
    • How subconscious beliefs can shape confidence, belonging and self-worth.
    • Why perfectionism and overpreparing can be protective strategies.
    • How IFS helps us understand and support our protector parts.
    • How subconscious work can help create deeper safety and self-trust.
    • A guided practice to connect with the part of you that still feels the need to prove itself.

    Imposter syndrome does not mean you do not belong. When we understand what this pattern is protecting, we can begin to soften the pressure, trust ourselves more deeply and create space for confidence, ease and self-worth.

    Tune in to this episode for an empowering conversation about imposter syndrome, subconscious beliefs, IFS and learning to trust that you are already enough.
