  Ep. 36 - How Small Daily Rituals Can Change Your Life | Breaking Free From Autopilot + Reconnecting With Yourself

  Aug 6, 202640 minS1

  What if the life you’re craving isn’t waiting for you in a bigger milestone… but in the small moments you’re living every single day? In this episode of Late Check-Out , I’m reflecting on the incredible experience of leading my first Pour Back Into You 7-Day Challenge and the transformation that unfolded when women simply began paying attention to their lives again. We talk about what it really means to live intentionally, how small daily rituals create lasting change, why so many of us end up on autopilot, and how to reconnect with your intuition, your joy, and the version of yourself that’s been there all along. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, become more conscious of the choices you’re making, and remember that the quality of your life is shaped less by the big moments—and more by how you show up to the ordinary ones. I also share what’s next: The Becoming , my new 3-week container designed to help you move beyond awareness and begin embodying the life you truly want to create, along with my one-on-one Pour Back Into You coaching sessions. If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself, caught in the routine of everyday life, or simply craving a deeper relationship with the person you’re becoming, this episode is for you. Because the goal isn’t just to build a beautiful life. It’s to be fully present enough to experience it.

  Ep. 35 - Rock Bottom Changed Me: Finding Wellness Through Grief, Loss & Starting Over

  Jul 15, 202643 min

  There are versions of ourselves that only exist because life completely unraveled. In this episode, I'm sharing one of the most vulnerable chapters of my life—the loss of my dad, the panic attacks that followed, and the wellness practices that helped me slowly find my way back... not to the woman I was before, but to someone entirely new. We often think wellness is about routines, habits, and feeling our best. But what happens when you're grieving? When you've lost someone you love, a relationship, a career, or a version of yourself you can never return to? Together we'll explore: • Why grief isn't limited to death • What panic attacks actually are (and what helped me through them) • How Traditional Chinese Medicine became a turning point in my healing • The transformative impact of EMDR and Internal Family Systems therapy • Losing faith—and unexpectedly finding spirituality again • Why your darkest seasons may be introducing you to the exact tools your soul needs next If you're moving through grief, heartbreak, burnout, a major life transition, or simply feel like life has pulled the rug out from under you, I hope this episode reminds you that healing isn't about becoming who you used to be. It's about meeting the person you're becoming. If this episode resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you.

  Jul 1, 202631 minS1

  Ep. 32 - Why One Trip Can Do More Than Months of Therapy

  May 13, 202633 minS1

  okay friend — this one. this one. 🤍 if I had to pick ONE episode that holds the whole thesis of why I built this brand, why I left my corporate career, why I keep showing up to talk about travel like it's a sacred practice — it would be this one. because here's my hot take: one trip can do more for your nervous system than months of therapy can do for your mind. and I'm not just saying it — I'm going to prove it to you in this episode. we're getting into the 4 ways travel actually IS therapy: 🧠 how travel forces your nervous system to recalibrate — and builds self-trust at a speed nothing else can match ✨ how travel turns you into your own expander — the version of you that only shows up in a new country and never wants to be forgotten again 🪞 how travel surfaces "parts" of you that have been on autopilot at home — the conversations, the aha moments, the existential downloads that hit different at altitude 🌀 how travel leads to real-time integration — why people end relationships, quit jobs, and finally have the conversations they've been avoiding after a trip I also share the line I used to throw at people in my 20s when they asked why I was spending every dollar on plane tickets: "I'm investing in my soul." 15 years and 46 countries later — turns out that bitch had it right. 🤍 if you've ever been told you travel too much, or that you should be "more responsible" with your money, or you've felt the soft pull of a trip you can't quite explain — pour yourself something slow and press play. this is for you. ⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 — Welcome back (life update + why this episode is the thesis of my brand) 03:50 — the privilege + magic we forget about travel 08:00 — my hot take: one trip > months of therapy 10:46 — Way #1: travel + your nervous system (the self-trust muscle) 14:00 — Way #2: travel makes you your own expander 19:50 — Way #3: travel surfaces "parts" of you (internal family systems explained) 25:13 — Way #4: real-time integration (why people quit jobs and end relationships after trips) 27:59 — the "investing in my soul" story 30:15 — the 3-step framework to design your next trip differently 32:23 — what's coming next 🤍 🔗 Stay in my world: → laurajanela.com → free newsletter → Book Casa Oliva in Porto 🇵🇹 → Follow @laurajanela + @latecheckout → ⁠Book a Travel Clarity Call with me
