The School of Heritage

In this deeply reflective episode of The School of Heritage, I sit down with Andreea Lupulescu, a Family Constellations facilitator who helps people uncover the hidden emotional patterns passed down through generations. Together, we explore how trauma, grief, shame, and unspoken family stories can quietly shape our emotions, behaviors, and sense of self—often without us realizing where they began. Andreea shares insights on how to recognize inherited wounds versus personal experiences, why certain emotional blocks may not actually be “yours,” and how awareness becomes the first step toward healing. We discuss the power of compassion, curiosity, and conscious healing in breaking cycles that no longer serve us. This episode is an invitation to gently look beneath the surface, honor what came before, and reclaim your freedom by understanding that some of what you carry did not start with you—and does not have to continue with you.

In this compassionate and practical episode of The School of Heritage, I sit down with Paul Parry,  a writer and sub-editor and often works at major international sports events, to explore why so many of us get trapped in cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, and harsh self-criticism—and how we can gently find our way out. Paul shares a refreshingly kind approach to understanding the mind, helping listeners recognize that overthinking isn’t a personal failure, but a learned pattern that can be softened with awareness and self-compassion. Together, we discuss simple tools for interrupting spiraling thoughts, creating inner calm, and building a healthier relationship with yourself—without pressure or perfection. This episode is an invitation to step out of your head and back into your life, reminding you that clarity doesn’t come from thinking harder, but from learning to treat yourself with patience, curiosity, and care.

In this deeply moving episode of The School of Heritage, I’m joined by Debra Hall, a poet from Racine whose words gently explore love, loss, caregiving, and the quiet courage it takes to let go. Through poetry, Debra gives voice to emotions many of us feel but struggle to express—grief, devotion, exhaustion, gratitude, and enduring love. We talk about how poetry becomes a vessel for processing life’s most intimate moments, especially in seasons of caregiving and transition. Debra shares how writing can hold space for tenderness without denying pain, and how art allows us to honor both what we are losing and what still remains. This episode is an invitation to slow down, feel deeply, and remember that even in the act of letting go, love continues to speak—softly, honestly, and beautifully.

In this reflective and empowering episode of The School of Heritage, I’m joined by Lynda Leonce, Conscious Life & Parenting Coach, to explore what it truly means to create a life that feels authentic, grounded, and deeply your own. Together, we unpack the subtle ways misalignment shows up in our daily lives—through burnout, people-pleasing, or living according to expectations that no longer fit. Lynda shares practical insights on reconnecting with your inner truth, listening to the wisdom of your body, and making choices that honor who you are becoming—not who you were told to be. We discuss alignment across key areas of life, including habits, relationships, work, and self-connection, and why small, conscious shifts can lead to profound transformation over time. This episode is an invitation to slow down, tune inward, and begin living from a place of clarity, integrity, and self-trust—so your life doesn’t just look good on the outside, but truly feels right on the inside.

In this grounding and empowering episode of The School of Heritage, I’m joined by Heather Theisen-Gandara, the founder of Reignite Collective and breathwork practitioner who helps women navigate emotionally charged moments with clarity, presence, and strength. Together, we explore how learning to pause—rather than react—can completely transform the decisions we make during times of stress, conflict, and pressure. Heather shares practical tools rooted in mindfulness and intentional breathing that create space between trigger and response. We discuss how these simple yet powerful practices support emotional regulation, reduce overwhelm, and help women make calmer, wiser choices—especially during legal, financial, or deeply personal challenges. This episode is a reminder that power doesn’t always come from action. Sometimes, it comes from stillness—the pause that allows us to respond from clarity instead of fear, and from wisdom instead of impulse. Heather Theisen-Gandara Website: reignitecollective.com
