The Reality of PTSD: Kevin shares his experience as a first responder and how unaddressed trauma manifests in daily life.

Meet Julie and Mika LIVE in Chicago at Cre8tive Con this February www.cre8tivecon.com

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to effortlessly manifest success, abundance, love, and fulfillment?while others feel stuck repeating the same cycles? The answer may lie in understanding the Law of Attraction and how your thoughts, emotions, and actions work together to shape your reality.

In this powerful episode of The Obsessed Podcast, we break down how the Law of Attraction really works, demystify manifestation, and give you practical, real-world tools you can start using today to attract what you truly desire.

Join Julie Lokun, JD, Mika Altidor, and Tia Morell Walden as we explore the science-meets-spirituality principles behind manifestation, featuring insights from Michael Losier, internationally recognized Law of Attraction expert and featured guest on The Oprah Show.

Grab your favorite drink, get comfortable, and get Obsessed with creating the life you were meant to live.

(00:00:00 ? 00:01:51)

At its core, the Law of Attraction is based on one simple truth:

Your thoughts and feelings create your reality.

Everything you experience?relationships, career opportunities, confidence, abundance?begins with your internal world. The Law of Attraction teaches that like attracts like, meaning the energy you put out is the energy you receive back.

Thought alone isn?t enough.
Aligned action is what activates manifestation.

Your mindset acts like a magnet:

Positive thoughts and emotions attract opportunities, growth, and aligned people

Negative thoughts and self-talk attract resistance, fear, and limitation

Awareness is the first step to shifting your energy.

(00:03:51 ? 00:05:11)

Be crystal clear about what you want.

Manifestation tools include:

Writing your desires down

Visualization practices

Feeling the emotion of already having it

Clarity creates momentum.

Belief is the bridge between desire and reality.

Trust the process

Release doubt and fear

Act as if your desire is already unfolding

Belief isn?t passive?it?s intentional confidence.

This is where many people get stuck.

Stay open to opportunities

Practice gratitude for small wins

Say ?yes? when alignment shows up

Receiving requires trust and readiness.

(00:05:11 ? 00:09:10)

To activate the Law of Attraction consistently:

Practice daily visualization

Cultivate gratitude rituals

Eliminate negative self-talk

Take inspired action, even when it feels uncomfortable

Manifestation is not magic?it?s momentum.

(00:09:10 ? 00:09:42)

When your thoughts, emotions, and actions align, transformation happens.

Remember:

Be patient?timing matters

Stay consistent

Trust yourself

Visualize
Practice gratitude
Eliminate negative self-talk
Take inspired action

And most importantly?get involved and share your journey with us.

The Law of Attraction is the belief that your thoughts, emotions, and actions influence the experiences you attract into your life.

Yes?when combined with intentional action, emotional alignment, and belief, it becomes a powerful mindset and behavior-shaping tool.

There is no set timeline. Manifestation depends on belief, consistency, alignment, and openness to opportunity.

Negative self-talk and limiting beliefs can slow progress, but awareness and mindset shifts can quickly restore alignment.

Start with clarity, practice daily gratitude, visualize your goals, and take one inspired action each day.

In this heartfelt episode of Get Obsessed, host Julie Lokun sits down with Nancy Spano, the inspiring author of Stroke of Love. Nancy shares the day her life changed forever when she suffered a massive stroke at age 46 and the profound near-death experience that followed.

Nancy?s story is raw, emotional, and filled with hope. She takes listeners through the moments leading up to her stroke, describing the changes in her vision, behavior, and thinking that she didn?t realize were warning signs. She also opens up about her remarkable recovery and the lessons she learned about resilience, faith, and finding purpose in the aftermath.

In this episode, you?ll hear:
? The subtle symptoms Nancy noticed before her stroke and how she nearly ignored them
? What her near-death experience felt like and the spiritual moment that brought her back
? How her husband and family supported her through recovery
? The life lessons that gave her a renewed sense of purpose and gratitude

Nancy?s experience is a reminder that strokes can happen at any age and that early recognition saves lives.

Symptoms Nancy experienced include:
? Vision loss on one side
? Sudden irritability and mood changes
? Confusion and short-term memory loss
? Trouble completing simple tasks
? Weakness or paralysis on one side of the body
? Panic attacks and disorientation

Her stroke was linked to high blood pressure worsened by medication, something she had not been warned to monitor. Now, Nancy is dedicated to raising awareness so others can recognize early warning signs and take quick action.

If you or someone you know experiences sudden numbness, confusion, slurred speech, vision loss, or loss of balance, call 911 immediately. Time is critical.

Nancy Spano is a stroke and cancer survivor, wife, mother, and advocate who turned her near-death experience into a message of hope. Her book, Stroke of Love, tells her story of survival, healing, and the strength of the human spirit.

MEET US LIVE IN CHICAGO! LEARN MORE! www.cre8tivecon.com

What if this year is not about becoming someone new but about becoming a stronger, more intentional version of who you already are?

In this reflective solo episode of the Get Obsessed Podcast, host Julie Lokun, JD shares a powerful mindset shift for high achievers who feel overwhelmed by hustle culture, endless goal setting, and the pressure to constantly do more.

Julie reflects on the magic of the holidays through childhood eyes, the reality of adulthood responsibility, and the moment she realized that more goals did not equal more joy. Instead of embracing the tired phrase New Year, New You, she invites listeners to focus on intentional living rooted in clarity, energy protection, and alignment.

This episode is for entrepreneurs, creatives, leaders, and high performers who are ready to stop doing more and start doing what truly matters.

What You Will Learn in This Episode

Julie explains why New Year, New You is a myth and how New Year, Same You but Stronger creates sustainable momentum. She walks through the power of choosing one personal goal and one professional goal and how this approach reduces overwhelm while increasing fulfillment.

Listeners will learn why protecting physical and emotional energy is a non negotiable and how saying no without overexplaining creates freedom. Julie also addresses why rest and sleep are essential for clarity, creativity, and long term success.

On the professional side, Julie shares what it means to amplify fewer voices more powerfully. She explains why going deeper instead of wider creates exponential results and how aligned energy between collaborators is the foundation of meaningful growth.

Intentional Living and Honoring Your Season

This episode invites listeners to ask a critical question: What season of life am I in?

Julie encourages integration over pressure and reminds listeners that growth does not need to happen on a single day. She emphasizes honoring the lessons learned from the past year and recognizing resilience, even when healing feels incomplete.

The Proof of Life Mindset

Julie introduces the concept of a proof of life list, a practice of acknowledging moments when you showed up despite adversity. Whether navigating relationship changes, health challenges, financial stress, or professional uncertainty, surviving counts and deserves recognition.

Relationships Over Algorithms

Julie shares why some of her most meaningful opportunities came from conversations rather than content. By dialing down social media and prioritizing real relationships, she found deeper connection and greater professional impact.

Expansion, Curiosity, and Beginner?s Brain

Listeners are encouraged to say yes to growth without pressure. Julie explores the idea of expansion through curiosity, new conversations, and experiences that place you back into beginner?s brain, a concept she learned from Jim Kwik.

Planning Joy on Purpose

If joy is not scheduled, stress will be.

Julie challenges listeners to plan joy intentionally, whether through small moments of play, creativity, rest, or connection. Joy is not a reward. It is a requirement.

Welcome to Get Obsessed
Julie and Mika open the episode with a reflection on their shared obsession with romance, sensuality, dreaming, and the power of the written word. They introduce Pamela S. Thibodeaux, a woman whose storytelling lives at the intersection of faith, sensuality, and gritty realism.

Pamela?s Writing Origin Story
Pamela shares how her writing journey began in her twenties, filling five-subject notebooks while raising young children. Without access to a computer or typewriter, she rented machines or borrowed them whenever she could?because the stories simply needed to come out.

Discovering the Christian Market
Pamela explains the early challenges of writing romance with faith elements. Traditional Christian publishers wanted extremely conservative love stories:

no passionate kisses

no euphemisms like ?heck? or ?darn?

no unmarried characters alone together

no dancing unless it was ?square dancing?
Her stories, full of sensuality, passion, complexity, and spiritual themes, didn?t fit the mold.

Blending Sensuality & Spirituality
Pamela speaks about the moment she recommitted her life to God and asked to write fiction that glorifies Him?without sanitizing human passion. She believed (and still believes) that God created humans with desire, chemistry, and emotional depth, and that romance fiction should honor that.
Her tagline??Inspirational with an Edge??came organically from a bookstore manager who instantly recognized her voice.

The Struggle?and Freedom?of Finding the Right Market
Traditional Christian publishers found her books ?too sensual.? Secular publishers found them ?too much God.? Pamela had to find a lane for readers who wanted both. Small-press publishers embraced her work, and she eventually indie-published after getting her rights back.

Writing Real Life: Domestic Violence, Abuse & Healing
Pamela opens up about her own past?being young, married to an alcoholic, surviving domestic violence, raising children, and eventually finding safety and healing.
She talks about how life experiences naturally show up in her books, especially through:

characters overcoming abuse

emotional healing arcs

the tension between vulnerability and strength

the journey from fear to faith

One of her most powerful books was written in four months during tax season while working full-time?something she considers a divine co-creation.

Faith Without Preaching
Pamela emphasizes she?s not writing for the already-convinced. Her books aren?t sermons, and her characters aren?t perfect. Instead, she writes for readers who may never go to church or pick up a Bible?but still crave meaning, hope, and spiritual truth.

The Role of Passion in Love
She speaks candidly about how emotional, spiritual, and physical intimacy are interconnected?and why she refuses to separate them in her fiction. She believes portraying passion isn?t sinful; it?s honest, healthy, and God-designed.

Marriage, Divorce & Redemption
Julie and Pamela connect over their shared experience with divorce. Pamela shares that:

her first marriage was volatile

she left to protect herself and her children

she later remarried and was widowed

healing, forgiveness, and growth shaped her deeply

These life chapters add texture to the emotional resolution in her stories and to the compassion she brings to her characters.

A Multifaceted Creative Life
Mika highlights Pamela?s passion for family, storytelling, The Chosen series, and her love for the Texas cowboy culture. Pamela speaks about writing stories set in the Texas Hill Country and her affection for cowboy romance rooted in faith and realism.

Where to Find Pamela
Pamela shares her platforms:

Website: pamelathibodeaux.com

Amazon & major retailers for her books

YouTube: A Novel Lunch (writing instruction)

YouTube: Coaching in PJ?s (life tips, personal growth)

Closing
Julie and Mika thank Pamela for her authenticity, depth, vulnerability, and craft. Listeners are invited to rate, review, and subscribe for more inspiring conversations on love, passion, healing, and storytelling.

Meet the country star who is singing the anthem for single girls everywhere! Today we're getting obsessed with rising country star Maddye Trew ? a Memphis-born singer-songwriter whose voice is as bold as her spirit.

From her roots in Memphis to her journey to Nashville, Maddye brings heart, humor and honesty to her music. Her breakout banger ? ?Single of the Year? ? is not just a song. It?s an anthem for single women everywhere: raising a glass, owning independence, and celebrating life with a beer in hand instead of wallowing over a broken heart.

But Maddye?s road was not all smooth. She once stood face-to-face with superstar diva Mariah Carey during an American Idol audition ? a moment that could have shattered any young artist?s dream. Instead, she used that rejection as rocket fuel.

In this episode we talk about:

How to reclaim your narrative and transform rejection into resilience.

The story behind ?Single of the Year? ? how it captures a generation of women navigating singleness and waiting.

Why being 30, single and unapologetically chasing a music dream is powerful (and how genomics of control play in).

Maddye?s musical influences ? including Carrie Underwood, Loretta Lynn and the traditional country lineage she honors.

The importance of mentorship, giving back, and being the person you were once waiting to meet.

What?s next: her new EP Here Goes Nothing (coming 2026) and how you can follow her journey.

Key Takeaways:

You don?t have to be defined by your relationship status. You can raise your glass, tie one on, and toast your independence.

What often looks like ?falling behind? ? friends getting married, society ticking boxes ? can actually be your runway.

In music, as in life, the mindset shift from ?talent-show contestant? to professional artist changes everything.

Mentorship and paying it forward matters. Maddye didn?t just move to Nashville to chase a dream?she?s returning to her high school, encouraging the next generation.

Being single is not a pause; it can be a season of empowerment, growth and lead-in to bigger things.

AI + HI = Limitless Potential. Use technology intentionally to expand?not replace?human potential.

Curiosity beats certainty. Stay open, adaptable, and relentlessly innovative.

If you?re a founder, creative, or entrepreneur ready to elevate your mindset and master your brain, this episode is your blueprint. Jim and Julie dive into how neuroscience, AI literacy, and leadership psychology intersect to create the next generation of empowered, purpose-driven leaders.
