What if the fastest way to dial down drama and crank up joy is as simple as giving everyone around you a permission slip to be themselves—including you? In this episode, Angela and Sami invite well-being therapist Jamie Lerner to spill the secrets of her Art of Allowing, a practice that turns judgment into curiosity and workplace chaos into something you can actually manage.
You’ll get:
- The story of why Jamie ditched traditional talk therapy and how her clients leap forward by focusing on right-now momentum instead of yesterday’s baggage
- A five-minute morning habit that rewires your inner chatter—no journals, glitter pens, or awkward affirmations required
- A pocket guide to spotting the exact moment you slip from setting healthy boundaries to running the entire show, plus how to pivot without the shame hangover
- The projection trick that melts irritation in real time, saving your energy for people and projects that deserve it
- Backup-deadline magic and other sneaky scripts for thriving when teammates ghost, stall, or show up late
- A fresh way to handle compliments so you soak in the goodness without handing strangers the keys to your self-worth
By the time the outro hits you’ll feel lighter, clearer, and ready to practice allowing with your kids, your coworkers, and—most importantly—yourself.
