Dr. Sera Lavelle, licensed clinical psychologist and founder of two thriving therapy practices, joins host Eunicia Peret for a powerful conversation on how psychology, neuroscience, and technology are coming together to transform mental health, especially around emotional eating. With specialties in hypnotherapy, EMDR, and integrative approaches to healing, Dr. Lavelle shares her journey from traditional training to building out-of-the-box solutions that actually help people. They unpack why insurance models fail most patients, how AI is expanding access to care, and the connection between emotional triggers, food habits, and entrepreneurship. If you’ve ever felt like traditional systems aren’t serving you, or your clients, this episode is a must-listen.

Traditional models are broken: Insurance-based care often denies people help unless they’re “sick enough” to qualify

Emotional eating is the real issue, not just calories: People don’t overeat because they misunderstand nutrition, but because of psychological patterns

Therapy should be proactive, not reactive: Most systems treat disordered eating only after it becomes severe, missing early intervention opportunities

AI can increase access: Well-designed digital tools can provide therapeutic support to the 60%+ of people who struggle with stress eating

Entrepreneurs need support too: Building scalable mental health businesses requires coaching, operations help, and real structure

You can build impact without losing integrity: Sera’s practices integrate traditional therapy with new modalities like psychedelics and digital platforms

Financial systems reflect the same gaps: Just like in healthcare, most people are turned away from strategic wealth solutions because they don’t “qualify”

Believing in your mission makes the risk worth it: Building something new is scary, but alignment gives you courage

Ryan Bell, performance coach and regional leader with Evexias Health Solutions, joins host Eunicia Peret to explore how physicians and high-achieving professionals can align their health, mindset, and income by shifting to more intentional, wellness-focused models of care. With a background in sports performance and a passion for coaching, Ryan helps physicians create new revenue streams, avoid burnout, and unlock better results for their patients by stepping outside of the traditional healthcare system. Together, they break down the power of hormone optimization, the gaps in current medical training, and why leaders can’t afford to ignore the personal side of peak performance. Whether you’re a provider or a business owner, this episode will challenge you to think differently about how health drives success.

Hormone optimization is often the missing piece: Many high performers have been told their labs are “normal” when they’re actually suboptimal

Physicians aren’t taught to build businesses: Most are overworked, underpaid, and unaware of better models

Cash-based services create freedom: Integrative care models reduce reliance on insurance and increase impact

Men and women need different optimization strategies: The industry is full of copy-paste protocols that ignore bio-individuality

Mindset and health are inseparable: Poor focus, energy dips, and performance plateaus are often biological, not just behavioral

You can’t pour from an empty cup: Leaders and providers must prioritize their own wellness first

Discipline creates freedom: Consistency in health mirrors consistency in business

There’s a better way to practice medicine: Physicians deserve to be fulfilled, financially secure, and excited about their work

In this profound and soul-stirring conversation, host Eunicia Peret welcomes Dr. Steven Young, a spiritual visionary and former integrative medicine doctor who has treated over 9,000 patients and founded five businesses aimed at elevating humanity. Together, they explore how entrepreneurs can go beyond traditional metrics of success to live and lead from a place of deep inner knowing. Dr. Young shares insights on dissolving the ego, tuning into divine instruction, accessing miracles, and evolving capitalism into a model of holistic, soul-aligned service. This episode isn’t just about business growth — it’s a gateway to personal expansion and collective healing.

Key Takeaways:

Quieting the mind is essential: Entrepreneurs often miss daily miracles due to incessant thinking. Silence creates the space for divine instruction.

You are already a miracle: Recognizing that your very existence defies statistical probability invites a deeper state of gratitude and openness to daily wonder.

Don’t seek abundance — embody it: Asking for abundance reinforces separation. Living as if you are already whole invites more wholeness.

Marketing should heal, not harm: Traditional marketing manipulates through pain. True connection and love-driven business models create sustainable relationships.

Shift from extraction to contribution: Conscious capitalism is still transactional. A new paradigm, “Spirit Ping,” calls for everyone to benefit at every step.

Your business mirrors you: If something in your business feels misaligned, it’s a cue to explore inner beliefs and identities.

The seven Hermetic laws are the source code of reality: Understanding polarity, rhythm, mentalism, vibration, and correspondence can rewire how we lead and live.

Transformation starts with self-awareness: If you want a thriving, soul-aligned business, shift the internal narrative first.
