My love of life energy with Anna Scott

We Forgot How to Wish Together | Brownell Landrum

Some things we used to do naturally.And somewhere along the way, we forgot.
In this episode of My Love of Life Energy, I’m joined by Brownell Landrum, author of The Art and Science of Wishing, for a conversation about wishing—not as fantasy, but as a real human capacity that can be practiced, shared, and remembered.
We explore:
Why we may have lost our ability to wish collectively
How Brownell blends storytelling and science without turning it into “positive thinking”
Her “upstairs” metaphor—where wishes are sorted, held, and granted
The Cosmic Wish Experiment and what happens when people wish together
What becomes possible when we treat wishing as a living practice

I’m the Boss of Me | Carrie Baum

There’s a kind of freedom that doesn’t come from fixing your life.It comes from realizing: I’m the boss of me.
In this episode of My Love of Life Energy, I’m joined by Carrie Baum for a grounded conversation about sovereignty—what it means to live from what’s true for you, without carrying what isn’t yours.
We explore:
What “sovereignty” actually means in real life
The difference between your truth and other people’s projections
Why guilt often isn’t “yours”—it’s conditioning
How it feels when you stop negotiating with what isn’t true
The quiet relief of coming back to yourself

Radical Positivity Isn’t What You Think | Tania Barney

“Radical positivity” isn’t bypassing.It’s not pretending things are fine.It’s a way of meeting life without adding blame, judgment, or separation.
In this episode of My Love of Life Energy, I’m joined by Tania Barney, founder of Radical Positivity, for a grounded conversation about what this actually means in real life—especially when emotions are high and the world feels heavy.
We explore:
What “radical positivity” is (and what it is not)
How blame and judgment keep us stuck in separation
The freedom that shows up when we ask: what if no one’s to blame?
Why this isn’t “positive thinking”—it’s a different relationship with reality
How this becomes a lived practice, not a concept

When Grief Comes in Pieces | Brad Byrum

Grief doesn’t always arrive all at once.Sometimes it comes in pieces—quietly, gradually, and in ways that are hard to explain.
In this episode of My Love of Life Energy, I’m joined by Brad Byrum for a grounded conversation about the kind of grief that can feel invisible: the slow losses, the ongoing change, the love that stays… and the exhaustion of carrying it alone.
We explore:
Why grief can show up in fragments instead of one clear moment
The kind of loss that happens slowly—and how it affects the nervous system
What it means to feel “seen” inside grief
How compassion changes the way we carry what we’re living through
The quiet return of steadiness that can’t be forced

Glimpses of Reality Unfiltered | Eric Smith

Some conversations don’t give you more information.They give you a moment where something feels unfiltered—quiet, true, and unmistakably human.
In this episode of My Love of Life Energy, I’m joined by Eric Smith for a gentle conversation about the “filters” that shape our experience… and the rare moments when those filters soften and we catch a glimpse of what’s underneath.
We explore:
What “unfiltered reality” can feel like
The filters that make things feel personal or heavy
Why these moments can’t be forced—only recognized
How compassion grows when we remember we’re in the same boat
What remains when thought settles

Nature Reminds Us What’s True | Ann Prentiss

In this episode of My Love of Life Energy, I’m joined by Ann Prentiss for a grounded, nourishing conversation about what nature quietly teaches us when we slow down enough to notice.
We talk about native plants, backyard ecosystems, and the deeper truth beneath it all: life is interconnected, intelligent, and constantly responding. Ann shares how restoring even a small piece of land can become a doorway back to presence, belonging, and trust—because nature doesn’t argue with reality… it reveals it.
In this conversation, we explore:
How nature brings us back to what’s real
Why native plants matter (and what they restore beyond the garden)
The intelligence of ecosystems and interdependence
How paying attention changes the way we live
Small, practical ways to support life right where you are

The Power of Seeing, Not Fixing | Anne Scharlow

In this episode of My Love of Life Energy, I sit down with Anne Scharlow for a grounded, spacious conversation about the power of seeing — not fixing — and how clarity naturally arises when we stop trying to change ourselves. We explore what happens when effort softens, when insight replaces self-improvement, and when life begins to make more sense simply by being noticed. Anne shares how seeing what’s already true can bring relief, ease, and a deeper trust in how life unfolds — without force or struggle. Together, we explore: • What it means to truly see, rather than try to fix • Why insight creates change more naturally than effort • How clarity emerges when we stop overthinking • The difference between awareness and self-improvement • Why relief is often the first sign of real understanding This conversation is an invitation to slow down, to notice what’s already here, and to discover the quiet power of seeing life as it is — without needing to change yourself to do it right. 🌐 Learn more about Anne’s work: https://www.annescharlow.com 🌐 Learn more about my work: https://annascott.co — About the show: My Love of Life Energy is a gentle conversation with aliveness — where truth is felt, not forced, and life is something we learn to trust from the inside out.

You Don’t Need Permission to Be Yourself | William FitzRoy

In this episode of My Love of Life Energy, I sit down with William FitzRoy for a grounded, honest exploration of what it means to live as yourself — without seeking permission, approval, or validation.
We talk about inner authority, self-trust, and the courage it takes to honor what you know inside, even when it means walking away from what looks good on the outside. William shares how deeply knowing your own energy shapes the way you move through work, relationships, and spiritual spaces — and why real growth always leads you back to yourself.
Together, we explore:• What inner authority actually feels like in everyday life• Why you don’t need a grand purpose to live meaningfully• The difference between teaching and giving people answers• How spiritual spaces can support sovereignty rather than dependence• Why authenticity is naturally attractive and can’t be manufactured
This conversation is an invitation to stop outsourcing your knowing, to trust what you sense inside, and to come home to yourself — again and again.

Why Fulfillment Matters More Than Happiness | Anne Scharlow

In this episode of My Love of Life Energy, I sit down with Anne Scharlow for a quiet, powerful exploration of what it really means to live a fulfilling life.
We talk about the difference between chasing happiness and allowing fulfillment to emerge — not through effort or achievement, but through trust, patience, and deep listening. Anne shares how her lifelong work with animals has shaped the way she sees life itself: as a living conversation that responds when we slow down enough to hear it.
Together, we explore:
Why fulfillment has a deeper, steadier quality than happiness
How trust grows when we stop trying to control outcomes
What animals reveal about presence, patience, and reverence for life
The role of gentleness and listening in real transformation
How fulfillment arises naturally when we align with what’s already here
This conversation is an invitation to soften, to listen more deeply, and to reconsider what truly nourishes us — beyond fleeting moments of happiness.

Why Kindness Begins in the Shadow | Elijah Parker

In this deeply intimate conversation, I sit down with Elijah Parker to explore the nature of shadow, kindness, and what it means to be truly held in our humanity.
Elijah shares how his long relationship with the Gene Keys has shaped his understanding of pain, compassion, and transformation — not as something to fix, but as something to be met with presence, honesty, and love.
Together, we explore:
Why the shadow is not something to get rid of, but something to be in relationship with
How kindness begins by recognizing our own capacity for cruelty
What it means to be held — even in breakdown
The role of spaciousness, pause, and embodiment in healing
Why nothing in us is actually broken
This conversation is not about solutions or self-improvement.It’s an invitation to remember what it feels like to be human — and to meet ourselves, and each other, with more tenderness.
