There are moments in life when everything in us wants to pull back, disengage, or escape what feels uncomfortable or overwhelming. I’ve learned that leaning in, gently and intentionally, can transform those moments into opportunities for healing and growth. When we stay present with what’s difficult, we begin to understand our triggers, soften our reactions, and reclaim our power. This practice isn’t about pushing through pain; it’s about listening, creating space, and responding with wisdom rather than fear. I will share how leaning in has allowed me to build emotional resilience, deepen self-trust, and move forward with greater peace and clarity. Would you like to do the same? Let’s learn how, together!

Thomas Levy, MD, JD, a world-renowned expert in integrative medicine and cellular healing, identifies oxidative stress as the primary driver of disease. He offers insights on how targeted interventions can restore health naturally.

We will discuss Dr. Levy’s new book The Only Cause of Disease.

As a Certified Life Coach and Certified Holistic Cancer Coach, I’ve observed that while many people are willing to invest time, money, and effort into improving their physical bodies, they often avoid tending to their mind and spirit. They offer excuses like lack of time, money, or the belief that they “don’t need it, but my (add name here,) does!” That’s why I am introducing something new in The Classroom: Free Life Coaching Sessions. A loving, judgment-free space where you can ask questions about anything causing pain, confusion, or uncertainty and gain clarity, perspective, and direction. Coaching isn’t about being told what to do; it’s about asking the right questions, reconnecting with your inner wisdom, and moving forward with intention. Each week, I will select requests to explore during The Classroom for the benefit of all who may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for something more. If you’re seeking encouragement, empowerment, or clarity, email your questions to me at Lilly@WhenYouNeedaFriend.

Extraordinary living doesn’t happen by accident. It happens by choice. Last weekend, in my blog, I created the acronym JAPHILAFF as a simple reminder to prioritize Joy, Acceptance, Peace, Health, Inclusion, Love, Abundance, Forgiveness, and Focus in our daily lives. These principles serve as guideposts for making intentional decisions that nourish our body, mind, and spirit. As I reflect on how I practice JAPHILAFF, I see how laughter, curiosity, and a lighthearted perspective help me stay grounded, consistent, and aligned with my values. This approach empowers us to live fully, embrace challenges with grace, and create a life that feels both meaningful and playful. I will share how we can all live a life rooted in JAPHILAFF!

Each new year offers an invitation to begin again. Yet traditional resolutions often leave us discouraged rather than empowered. Over time, I’ve learned that lasting change doesn’t come from rigid promises, but from intentionally choosing what truly aligns with our values, our health, and our purpose. As I reflect on what I want for 2026, I lean on cultivating a mindset that supports clarity, consistency, and sustainable well-being, mentally, emotionally, and physically. Choosing intentions over resolutions gives us permission to grow with grace, remain curious, and stay committed even when life becomes challenging. I will share wisdom drawn from Jesus’ parable in Matthew 9:17, of pouring new wine into old wineskins… a powerful reminder that meaningful transformation requires creating space for the new, and why we should let go of old patterns. How has pouring new wine into old wineskins kept you from achieving your goals? What would staying committed with grace, rather than perfection, look like for you in 2
