Welcome to the Susan LoPresti Wellness: Mind, Body & Soul podcast — the go-to space for midlife and mature women who are ready to reclaim their health, boost their energy, and live long, vibrant, and purposeful lives.

Each week, we dive deep into natural wellness, holistic healing, anti-aging strategies, and healthy lifestyle habits to help you feel your best — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Whether you're navigating menopause, working through chronic conditions, or simply wanting to age gracefully and intentionally, this show is your sanctuary for science-backed insights, powerful stories, and soul-nourishing inspiration.

So, if you're a woman over 40 or 50 looking to thrive in this next chapter of life — you're in the right place

In this episode of Susan LoPresti Wellness: Mind Body & Soul, Susan sits down with Carmell Clark, an executive coach, keynote speaker, and vision strategist whose work bridges deep inner awareness with conscious leadership and real-world impact.

After experiencing profound personal loss, Carmell rebuilt her life and career through radical self-awareness—discovering that true leadership, freedom, and influence begin within. Today, she guides women to expand their consciousness, align with their inner truth, and translate reflection into purposeful action.

Together, Susan and Carmell explore what it means to lead from the inside out, how healing and leadership are deeply connected, and why so many women feel called to reinvent themselves in midlife. This conversation is especially meaningful for women who are ready to step into greater clarity, confidence, and alignment in mind, body, and soul.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What radical self-awareness truly means and why it’s transformational

• How inner healing shapes outer leadership and success

• Why freedom is an inside job—and how women can reclaim it

• How to move from reflection into authentic influence

• Why it’s never too late to rebuild, realign, and rise

If you’re feeling the pull toward something more—more purpose, more alignment, more fulfillment—this episode will meet you right where you are.

Julie Scott - Immersive Meditation Coach, Hypnotherapist, Life Coach, Author & Lover of Cats

Just shy of her 40th birthday, Julie looked around her life and wondered, “Is this all there is for me?” She worked a job she hated, living in a city she longed to leave, and her marriage was falling apart. After decades of struggling with people-pleasing, over-giving and low self-esteem, the end of her marriage in 2005 was her wake up call to make some major changes.

Over the next 10 years she read every self-help book she could get her hands on. Julie also hired a Life Coach to help her delve deeper into what beliefs were holding her back from going after what she truly wanted in life. She slowly started becoming aware of unhealthy habits and patterns.

While working with her coach, Julie started coaching herself as she picked up quickly on the process and soon recognized that coaching was something that came naturally to her and that it was a career path that she could pursue. In 2016 she earned her Life Coaching (ICF) certification and quickly began working with clients.

Julie always worked with a coach for herself as she believed in the process. However, she noticed a pattern for herself AND her clients: Once she stopped working with a particular coach, (or when her clients completed their program with Julie) although progress was made during their time together, she still found the same limiting beliefs / habits popping up in her life (and her clients did too). She thought there had to be a way to make REAL change... Change that lasted.

That's when she started reading books about epigenetics, and how the brain and body work. She also learned about how powerful the subconscious mind is, running 95% of our daily thoughts, feelings and actions. It's also where all our core beliefs are stored that we acquired from 0-7 years old. And that we can't access the subconscious from a conscious state.

With this new information under her belt, Julie began her own meditation practice and also became a Certified Hypnotherapist. Since 2021, Julie has been using a combination of coaching, meditation and hypnotherapy for her own continued self-discovery and growth with amazing results. Meditation has also helped Julie to deepen her own sense of spirituality as she has connected with her Inner Self and the Ultimate Source - which has now become her sacred place to gain clarity, focus, truth, strength, and wisdom.

In 2023 Julie became an Immersive Meditation Coach through GMF (Guided Meditation Framework), then introduced this proven method into her coaching practice and her clients enjoy the ease of making change with this new process. And the best part? It's a lasting change that continues to produce results long after working with Julie.

Julie likes to think of the process as "Effortless Change" because that's what it feels like. Clients find themselves doing things differently without thinking about it. They're more confident in themselves because they have come to know that they too can access their Inner Self for clarity, wisdom and strength. By shifting their focus from what is outside of them, they find all the answers they need are INSIDE of them.

Julie’s mission is to help stuck, uninspired people connect with their Inner Self, reprogram their Subconscious and gain Clarity so they make changes effortlessly. Her hope is to touch the lives of thousands of people, introducing them all to the power and potential they all have INSIDE them.

Introduction to Reiki Healing Energy
Hello everyone! Today, I want to share with you the transformative and nurturing practice of Reiki. Whether you're hearing about Reiki for the first time or you’ve experienced it yourself, this talk will help you understand what Reiki is, how it works, and the incredible benefits it can bring to your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. I’ll also explain how Reiki is performed both in person and virtually.

________________________________________

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese healing technique rooted in the belief that everything in the universe is made of energy, including our bodies. The word "Reiki" translates to "Universal Life Energy," with "Rei" meaning universal and "Ki" meaning life force energy. This life force flows within us and around us, influencing our physical health, emotions, and even our spiritual connection.

When this energy flows freely, we feel balanced, vibrant, and at peace. However, stress, trauma, or illness can block or disrupt this flow, leading to imbalance and discomfort. Reiki works to clear those blocks, restoring harmony and encouraging healing on all levels.

________________________________________

How Does Reiki Work?

Reiki practitioners act as channels for this universal energy. They do not give you their own energy; rather, they serve as conduits, drawing in Reiki energy from the universe and allowing it to flow into the recipient. Reiki is intelligent energy—it knows where it’s needed most and works to bring balance to those areas.

The beauty of Reiki is that it doesn’t require belief to work. It’s not tied to any religion or dogma, making it accessible to anyone seeking healing or relaxation.

The Benefits of Reiki

Reiki offers a range of benefits, including:

• Stress Reduction and Relaxation: Reiki calms the nervous system, helping you release tension and promoting deep relaxation.

• Enhanced Healing: Whether recovering from an illness, surgery, or injury, Reiki accelerates the body's natural healing processes.

• Emotional Balance: Reiki can help you process and release stuck emotions, reducing feelings of anxiety, depression, or grief.

• Spiritual Growth: Reiki can help you feel more connected to your inner self and the world around you.

• Pain Relief: Many people report reduced pain after a Reiki session, as the energy soothes and relaxes the body.

• Improved Sleep: The calming effects of Reiki can lead to better, more restful sleep.

Additionally, free lesson videos and tutorials on playing online bridge -everything from signing up for BBO to how to fill out a convention card- are readily available.

Brian's dedication to instruction extends beyond virtual platforms. He and Samantha offer one-on-one private lessons with a unique twist. You can join him at a teaching table on Bridge Base Online (BBO), either solo or with friends (maximum 5 students). Personalized lessons focus on specific areas of bridge, maximizing your improvement.

Furthermore, Brian offers a dynamic option – compete in a BBO tournament as his partner! The best part? Add an immediate post-tournament lessons while the hands are still fresh in your mind.
