In this Inner Light conversation, certified transformation coach and Glow Living founder Chandra Lynn lays out a practical path from overwhelm to fulfillment using her Root to Rise framework. We unpack the six human needs (adapted from Maslow), how unmet security/certainty traps us in survival mode, and why journaling, meaning-making, and body movement flip your emotional state. Chandra explains her Emotional Triad (physiology, focus, language) and shows how to balance body–mind–spirit so your purpose and progress translate into real momentum. If you’re stuck on autopilot, doing more but feeling less, this episode gives you a clear, actionable reset for work, relationships, and personal growth.

About the guest
Chandra Lynn is a certified transformation coach, author of Root to Rise: How to Love Life, and founder of Glow Living. She blends human-needs psychology with spiritual practices to help people meet their needs in healthy, sustainable ways.
Key takeaways:
-
Start with security: If your certainty/safety needs are threatened, you’re in survival mode. Stabilize that first; only then can growth and contribution stick.
-
Map your roots: Use a quick needs assessment across five life roots to see where you’re serving needs in low- vs high-quality ways—and where you’re stuck.
-
Name the drivers: Her free quiz reveals the “hidden forces” (human needs) behind past decisions so you can meet those needs consciously going forward.
-
Journal with intent: Ask three questions daily—What do I want? Why do I want it? What am I willing to do about it?—to avoid scattered tactics and regain focus.
-
Use the Emotional Triad: Shift emotions by changing physiology (move, breathe, posture), focus (what deserves attention today), and language/meaning (reinterpret stories you tell yourself).
-
Morning & night anchors: Brain-dump journaling at night for better sleep; light movement and brief reflection in the morning to clear “cobwebs” and set priorities.
-
Purpose with boundaries: Progress toward purpose fuels joy, but don’t dim your light by over-serving others; meet your own needs to serve at a higher level.
-
Softness and strength: Resilience is adaptive—sometimes you soften (self-compassion), sometimes you toughen up (ownership and standards).

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
