   Ep. 18 | Blessings in Disguise with Amber Conte

   In this episode, Gina Torres and Lauren Tatro sit down with Amber Conte, Gina's best friend of over 10 years, licensed mental health counselor and founder of Life Reins, a nonprofit offering equine-facilitated psychotherapy for trauma survivors. What begins as a conversation about coffee preferences and morning rituals quickly opens into a deeply moving exploration of trauma recovery, community support, and the healing intelligence of horses. Amber shares her own personal journey as a trauma survivor and the winding path that led her to create Life Reins — a nonprofit that began with zero funding, a lot of faith, and a community that showed up in ways she never expected. Through lost locations, unexpected obstacles, and partnership breakthroughs (shoutout to Advent Health!), her story becomes a testament to resilience, mindset, and the power of continuing to reach out even when the odds feel stacked. Together, the trio dives into the profound ways animals mirror our emotional states, why equine therapy is uniquely transformative, and how more than a hundred clients have already experienced breakthroughs through this work. They also explore the importance of supportive relationships, the beauty of shared experiences, and the quiet ways community shapes both nonprofit success and personal growth. This episode is equal parts heartfelt and hopeful — a reminder that life’s hardest moments often become blessings in disguise, and that healing expands when people, and horses, come together with intention. This is your permission slip to slow down, check in, and embrace every phase — retrograde or not — as an opportunity to return to yourself. ✨ New episodes every Wednesday 👯♀️ Hosted by Gina Torres + Lauren Tatro Subscribe: YouTube, Spotify + Apple Podcasts 📬 More at www.feelingcalled.com (http://www.feelingcalled.com) Follow us on the Socies → @feelingcalled Connect with Amber Conte & Life Reins: Website (https://www.lifereinsincfl.com/general-9)Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/lifereinsinc/)

   Ep. 16 | Mercury Retrograde is at it again

   In this episode, Gina Torres and Lauren Tatro explore the energetic and emotional themes of Mercury retrograde — what it really means, how it impacts communication, and how to navigate its cycles with more awareness and ease. They discuss the pre-shadow phase of Mercury retrograde and how it can amplify emotional responses, particularly for women experiencing their own cyclical shifts. Through astrology, self-reflection, and humor, Gina and Lauren invite listeners to understand how these cosmic patterns mirror our personal rhythms — and how we can use that insight to communicate more clearly and compassionately. The conversation expands into the importance of honesty in relationships, the emotional transitions tied to work and identity, and the necessity of setting boundaries and honoring your authentic self. They also unpack the ways conditioning — from corporate to cultural environments — shapes behavior, and how letting go of what no longer aligns can open space for personal growth and peace. As the episode unfolds, they share how astrology can serve as a tool for deeper self-awareness, how seasonal living encourages introspection, and why creating rituals for transition helps us move through change with intention. This is your permission slip to slow down, check in, and embrace every phase — retrograde or not — as an opportunity to return to yourself. ✨ New episodes every Monday.👯♀️ Hosted by Gina Torres + Lauren TatroSubscribe: YouTube, Spotify + Apple Podcasts📬 More at www.feelingcalled.com (https://www.feelingcalled.com) Follow us on the Socies @feelingcalled

Throughout the episode, they reflect on how to stay grounded amid mainstream distractions, how technology can serve as a tool for empowerment rather than escapism, and how each of us contributes to rewriting history through intentional action and awareness. This is a call to awaken to your purpose, break free from divisiveness, and remember your part in the evolution of human consciousness. ✨ New episodes every Wednesday. 👯♀️ Hosted by Gina Torres + Lauren Tatro Subscribe: YouTube, Spotify + Apple Podcasts 📬 More at www.feelingcalled.com (https://www.feelingcalled.com) Follow us on the Socies @feelingcalled

    Episode 8: The Matrix is Gaslighting You

    The Matrix is Gaslighting You You know that feeling when you realize the “rules” you’ve been following… might not actually be the rules? Yeah. That’s the Matrix talking. This week, Lauren + Gina are pulling the curtain back on the systems we’ve all been swimming in — from the “sit still, raise your hand” education model to the corporate culture that hands out shiny awards while quietly draining your soul. We get into: 🌀 Why the Matrix isn’t just a sci-fi movie (and how it shows up in your work and life) 📚 How school conditioned us for compliance, not creativity 🚫 The subtle toxic phrases that make corporate environments feel unsafe 🎤 Public speaking, authenticity, and why “polished” isn’t always powerful 🏆 The truth about awards, recognition, and who decides you’re “worthy” 🧠 How AI is shifting critical thinking (and how to keep your brain yours) ✨ Choosing work, clients, and opportunities that feel actually aligned BONUS: LinkedIn cringe, you won't want to miss this. It’s part call-out, part pep talk, and a reminder that the most productive thing you can do sometimes… is to unplug and think for yourself. 🎙 New episodes every Monday ✨ Listen + subscribe → www.feelingcalled.com (http://www.feelingcalled.com) Follow us → @feelingcalled

We spill on: 🍼 Why we call ourselves brand doulas (and how we hold space through every stage of the “business baby” process) 🌀 The role intuition plays when strategy just isn’t cutting it 💼 How toxic work environments can actually push you toward your most aligned work 💡 The creative magic that happens when you stop forcing and start flowing 💬 Mindset shifts that make the whole ride less… survival mode It’s raw, it’s relatable, and it’s basically the behind-the-scenes therapy session you didn’t know you needed. 🎙 New episodes every Monday ✨ Come hang with us → www.feelingcalled.com (http://www.feelingcalled.com) Follow us → @feelingcalled

And we’re talking about it. 🤝 The Black Sheep Role Why being the one who doesn’t “fit” often means you’re the one breaking generational cycles. 💫 Presence Over Performance Letting go of the need to have it all figured out and just showing up — messy, curious, and true.
