What if the hardest seasons are the ones that actually teach us how to live? That’s the thread we follow with author and chaplain Sam Wegner as he opens up about walking through his wife’s stage 4 cancer, months that turned into years, a long job loss, and the daily choice to trust a God who doesn’t flinch when the ground shifts beneath us.

Sam shares how “the weight of the wait” exposes our craving for control and invites a sturdier kind of hope—one grounded not in outcomes but in the unchanging goodness of God. We talk about why affliction can be a teacher, how milestones like “just get to Easter” can disorient when we outlive them, and why real rest is an act of surrender rather than a luxury. He tells a raw story of waking up drowning in dread, breaking the spiral with first principles—God is good, God provides—and finding peace that didn’t fix the circumstances but freed his heart to keep going.

We also get practical: the difference between positivity and true hope, how to recognize when your body is carrying what your soul won’t release, and why asking for prayer to endure may be more powerful than asking for the storm to end. Sam walks us through The Weight of the Wait—available in print, Kindle, and audiobook in his own voice—and the listener stories that continue to shape him, including a reminder that avoidance may feel safe but keeps us from healing.

The fastest way to look “successful” is to finance the image. The fastest way to get free is to let the math lead. We sit down with Daniel Alonzo—author, coach, and host of Wealth on the Beach—to unpack why indexed universal life policies keep trending online despite their hidden costs, confusing mechanics, and disappointing outcomes. Daniel’s take is direct: buy pure protection with term, then invest the difference in simple, diversified vehicles you actually understand.

We dig into the real numbers behind cash value life insurance: rising internal costs, long surrender periods, and how policies can quietly cannibalize their own cash value over time. Daniel dismantles the familiar pitch—tax-free loans, “upside without downside,” Rockefeller and Disney stories—and explains why those analogies don’t fit most families. He lays out practical alternatives: maximize affordable coverage to protect income and debts, then use low-cost index funds or broad-market ETFs to let compounding do the heavy lifting. We share client cases that reveal the pitfalls of opaque fees and what better looks like when you separate insurance from investing.

Beyond products, this is a blueprint for freedom. Daniel defines success as control of your time—ownership you can pass on, systems that pay without your constant presence, and the flexibility to choose work because you love it. We talk legacy, transferable businesses, and the mindset shift from “optics” to outcomes. If you’re already in an IUL, Daniel offers a calm, step-by-step path to evaluate, compare, and correct with numbers, not noise.

What if the life you keep chasing is already within reach—once you change the frequency you’re living on? We sit down with spiritual mentor and author Leanne Marie Lambert to uncover how energy, identity, and everyday choices determine what we attract, and how to upgrade all three without getting lost in woo or wishful thinking.

Leanne’s story starts with a double-decker bus and a near-death experience that cracked her open to a wider consciousness. Later, plant medicine revealed a state she calls the “God frequency,” but the real breakthrough came afterward: learning to access it without substances by dismantling mental programs, shedding shame, and rebuilding a self-concept that could hold more light. Together we break down why vision boards fail when embodiment is missing, how “fake it till you make it” keeps you stuck, and why action aligned with worthiness outperforms hustle born from lack.

We also explore the mirrors we ignore: social feeds that reveal our true vibration, music that programs our subconscious, and relationships that repeat patterns until we evolve. You’ll hear practical energy alchemy tools you can use today—like recalling a belly-laugh memory to reset your state, curating inputs that lift you, and using presence to shift from anxious checklisting to grounded clarity. If you’ve ever felt “stuck on repeat,” this conversation offers a compassionate, no-fluff path to a higher timeline: purge what dims you, practice what centers you, and choose the identity that matches the life you’re calling in.

If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who’s ready to shift, and leave a quick review so more people can find these conversations. Your frequency is your strategy—let’s raise it together.
