In this intimate conversation, Laura sits down with her longtime friend and clinical social worker Nicole Wagner to explore what it really means to heal. From DBT and IFS to mindfulness and “wise mind,” this episode unpacks the practical tools that help us move out of all-or-nothing thinking and back into clarity, connection, and self-trust.

They trace Nicole’s path into therapy — shaped by caregiving, art, and a deep curiosity about people’s stories — and examine what brings people into therapy in the first place: the longing to be seen, heard, and understood. At the heart of the conversation is a powerful truth: we are often overwhelmed not by reality, but by the noise of our own thinking.

If you’ve ever wondered how to communicate your needs, navigate relationship limits, or reconnect with your authentic self, this episode offers grounded, practical insight.

In this episode, Laura speaks directly to the loneliness that often arises on the spiritual path. There are institutions and communities for religion and science. But for the explorers in the middle – the ones navigating meditation, the Akashic Records, yoga, psychedelics, and self-inquiry – there can be a strange stigma. A sense that you are “weird” for wanting to look at life through multiple lenses.

If you’ve felt isolated for wanting a deeper conversation about who you are and why you’re here, this episode is a reminder that your questions are valid and your curiosity matters. That loneliness is not a problem – it is courage. And you are not alone in that exploration.

What actually happens in an Akashic Record reading? In this episode of The Art of Authenticity, Laura Coe walks through what the Records are, how a reading works, and what kind of guidance this ancient system is designed to offer.

This conversation is an introduction for anyone curious about the Akashic field, what a reading can genuinely offer, and how this modality supports growth, understanding, and meaningful insight rather than fortune-telling.

You’ll learn how the Akashic Records function as an energetic archive of your soul’s history, how specific questions shape the information you receive, and why the Records focus less on prediction and more on clarity, healing, and alignment with your soul’s intent.
