Today I am sharing an incredible conversation that I had the privilege of having with Sarah Edmondson.

Sarah is a talented actress with a radiant smile and natural charm. She has an exceptionally diverse portfolio of interests, and dedicates herself with limitless energy and positivity to the worlds of acting and yoga.

In 2005, when NXIVM, a personal and professional development company, promised to provide the tools and insight Sarah needed to reach her potential, she was intrigued. Over her twelve-year tenure, she went from student to coach and eventually operated her own NXIVM center in Vancouver. Questions kept coming up about the organization’s rules and practices, which came to a head in 2017 when she accepted an invitation from her best friend to join DOS, a “secret sisterhood” within NXIVM.

In 2019, Sarah published Scarred: The True Story of How I Escaped NXIVM, the Cult that Bound My Life, with Kristine Gasbarre. In this tell-all memoir, she shares her story from the moment she takes her first seminar to her harrowing fight to get out of NXIVM, collaborate with the FBI, help others, and heal.

In today's episode we talk all about; 

• Sarah's experiences being in a cult and the courage she had to leave 
• Being able to recognize the difference between self help and self harm
• Sarah's path to healing past trauma and settling into who she really is
• And so much more!

This conversation is definitely one you're going to want to listen to. So grab some tacos and let's dive in, okay?!

"Know that there's no formula to love. There's no prescriptive way it happens. So I'm speaking from my story and my experience, but I had this experience where, when I met him, I just was like, Oh, there you are, I've been missing you."

On this very special Valentine's Day bonus episode, I chat with Kara & Caleb Campbell.  We are talking all about the journey to finding your person, as well as the separate personal journeys that led Caleb and Kara to each other.

"I think we need to decondition all the things we've been conditioned to have; the 2.5 kids, white picket fence, and a spouse, in a job that you work until you're 65, that you're supposed to be happy, and then retire and enjoy your retirement for 10 or 15 or 20 years."

Join me today as I chat with Dr. Nicolya Williams, a life coach and best selling author. When I met Nicolya she said something that really took my breathe away and that was that she had interviewed 23 different women, and they each had a different definition of success. So today on How to be a Human, we're talking honestly all about how to reframe our definition of success!

Today's episode is a beautiful conversation with Tyler Merritt. It's less like an interview and more like sitting having a conversation with your two best friends all cozy on the couch. Before we get started let me introduce you to Tyler Merritt! Tyler Merritt is a Nashville based actor, comedian, vocalist and creator of The Tyler Merritt Project. His Television credits include ABC's Kevin Probably Saves The World, Netflix Messiah, Netflix Outer Banks, HBO's limited series The Outsider, Apple TV+'s upcoming series Swagger, and Disney+/Marvel's upcoming series Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Prior to "Before You Call The Cops", Tyler was best known for being the face of the worldwide teaching curriculum for The Gospel Project for Kids. In 2018 Tyler's viral video "Before You Call The Cops" (released by The Tyler Merritt Project) was viewed by over 18 million people worldwide and voted one of the Top 20 videos of the year by NowThisPolitics. In 2020, "Before You Call the Cops" recirculated and has now been viewed by over 60 million people and has appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, MSNBC Live, and Access Hollywood. Merritt has also been featured in the Las Vegas Review Journal, The New York Times, MSNBC, and the Huffington Post. His most recent viral video "The Playlist" is also stirring the much needed conversation of how we see and communicate with each other. Raised in Las Vegas, NV he has always had a passion for bringing laughter, grace and love into any community that he is able to be a part of.

We'll be talking about everything from our families, to embracing our wildly messy selves, to what the meaning of being Human is to Tyler.

We are changing the global conversation on emotional health and self love. Our feelings are just feedback. And that feedback is constantly giving us valuable insights as to what still needs to be healed. It is that simple and it is that complicated. When you continuously follow your passion, and do what brings you joy, adding more pleasure and fun to your life, you can't go wrong. You can't fail. I pinky swear that to be true.

"Too often we are conditioned to feel the need to be in constant competition. There's a misguided perception that being who we are, AS we are, in business, life and love won't be enough until we prove we are better than someone else and maybe not even then."

The myth around competition is a topic I have spoken on before and one that I feel is extremely important, I wrote a chapter all about it in my book, To Call Myself Beloved. So for today's episode I decided to read this actual chapter to you, not just because I am so excited for my book baby to be born, but because I am so passionate about this topic.

I get pretty fired up in this one everyone.  I touch on some really key points, such as:

• The root of where our intense need to compete with others actually comes from
• Why the phrase "collaboration over competition" being used on social media makes me nauseous and feel a whole lot of swear words.
• How competition all stems back to doing the work on loving YOURSELF, accepting yourself, and not seeking outward approval when you are winning.
• And so much more! 

I hope you all enjoy today's episode and if you haven't ordered your copy of my book yet, WHY NOT? (lol link is below, darling...).  Don't forget to head over to leissewilcox.ca and sign up to join my virtual Launch Party on August 11th when my book hits the charts!
