My Story
It’s 1992, I was married and raising two beautiful sons. Life was good…it was, what I considered, “normal”. I was able to stay home when my boys were young and found myself drawn to reading about spiritualism and growth. I discovered Tony Robbins’ book “The Giant Within” soon after it was released. It stirred something inside of me. And so started my quest and yearning for something more….I was 35 years old and would find myself divorced 5 years later after 19 years of marriage. One day after a family vacation and making love, my husband said to me:
I never loved you. I had to force myself to make love to you all these years. I want a divorce.
Those were hard painful words….but the truth was, that I wasn’t happy either….something was missing. Suddenly finding yourself single at 40, in a new city was scary and exciting, sad and hopeful all at the same time....
My sons suffered too. The oldest was heading to the University and so it was a gentler transition. My youngest moved to a new high school, in a new city and it was devastating.
I started selling real estate in 2000. Life was FAST the next decade as I enrolled and absorbed every program Tony Robbins had, UPW, Mastery University, Leadership, coaching, etc. My career advanced quickly. I become a Managing Broker for a larger broker in Phoenix. I was so tuned into my intuition, my gut, that life felt magical… but still, something was missing. It was during one of Tony’s events that I took a leap of faith, quit my job, and opened my own business. This was real estate in 2007 (remember that market??) and while I had real estate sales experience, I did not know how to run a business, nor did I have money to back it. I did it anyway and it grew FAST as I became one of the largest agents in the country. But there were also challenges. I had two failed business partnerships and failed personal relationships and my youngest had become addicted to drugs.
So in 2012, I started pulling away from Real Estate and spent the next decade searching for ways to help my son, help myself and continue to grow. Constantly searching for meaning and understanding and that “thing” that was missing.
During this time, I studied, trained, and became a Certified Master Trainer of NLP and TLT®. I spent time in India and China and became certified in Meditation. I obtained certifications in Hypnotherapy and Past Life regression and more. I even experienced plant medicine …All the skills, modalities and research I have done brought me to a single conclusion. …
And so, I launched my podcast/show I LOVE ME LAB , because of the following realizations.
We are not all the same. We all process events differently. This is something that NLP can assist in gaining a clearer understanding of. Every guest I have as well as my solo episodes contain a foundation of self-love and living a happier healthier life.
With every interview I have, my own heart grows and my understanding and acceptance do as well.
If each guest reaches just ONE listener, then we start a ripple effect of deeper understanding.
For now, I can share with all my heart, that my mission is to support others as much as possible, through the I LOVE ME LAB podcast, coaching, training and providing support and resources so that YOU can bust through your challenges and have the life you desire. Heck, I am still growing and learning and sharing and I am excited at the possibility of having you on this journey with me. Huge Hugs Gail

When you have a dream or a goal, there are a lot of factors to consider that can make it harder or easier to achieve. So what is the #1 thing that prevents you from living your dream? Certainly getting on clear on what you want. Having a vision and moving towards that vision. But even with a clear vision… Fear can leave us frozen in our tracks. And when you dig into self exploration and look underneath the fear…. What you may find is shame.
So what is shame anyway? Shame is a fear of looking foolish or failing, often associated with a time in the past where you interpreted something that you did or didn’t do that you perceived that you looked foolish or as a failure to others.
And that all comes from the stories that you created in your head. So what if you can change the story and remove the shame attached to the story. Does your fear go away?

Meditation is one of the most popular ways people heal. But, how do you look at it? Meditation is just a way to relax or chill out? It's a way to improve focus and concentration. Meditation is a great way to transform your life, overcome depression and anxiety, and learn to control your emotions.

And how can we make people heed it?
Body shaming has been a growing problem in this country.
Finding confidence can feel like an ongoing process, but once you find it, it always stays with you.

That might mean changing your hair or finding your perfect outfit.

Good Night Dear Friends
Have you ever asked yourself, "why am I still single?"
There are so many aspects to finding the right person.
Finding someone who is compatible with you can be overwhelming.
But how do you know if someone is your soulmate or just a waste of time?
If everyone else is happy in their relationship, but you're not, why?
Sometimes it takes a step back to find out where things went wrong.
Sometimes all you need is a little confidence to walk up to someone and talk, right?
Maybe you're nervous about making a fool of yourself.
Whatever the reason, most of us can relate to feeling this way.

Across the globe, numerous studies have proven the benefits of regular meditation, especially for our mind and body.
Meditation can help us learn how to stay centered, how to see the positive things in life, how to stay happy despite the setbacks and life challenges, and how to keep our inner peace.

Over the years, topics about sex and sexuality has been a delicate subject matter to talk about.
Even the names of our body parts have been given other names. Everything goes back to sexual shame.
And to avoid this, we have to first identify what we have and understand that it is part of our body.
This episode is a bit different from the other ones that we have because today we have the founder and medical director of Novant Health, Alyse Kelly-Jones to educate us more about sexual shame and women’s sexual wellness.
She is a physician and a TEDx speaker where she shed light on sexual shame and other information that will undoubtedly help, motivate, and inspire women.

In this episode of the I Love Me Lab Podcast, I had a very enlightening conversation with Mike Speakman, a Life Coach and Licensed Substance Abuse Counselor.
He is also the founder of the support group called Parents of Addicted Loved-ones or PAL.
The discussion in this interview focused more on how parents should manage themselves when they have an adult child in addiction.
More often than not, their kind of help is not really helping the child.

When you survive and get to a place of peace, then it's time to share what you learned
Dr. Emile Allen had to experience a freak accident while performing an operation when a piece of medical equipment malfunctioned and used his body as the ground and electricity ran through his body.
He had a traumatic brain injury and injured his left hand, as well.
Through that, he has to learn how to manage his pain drug-free and learn alternative types of therapy, which led him to learn hypnosis.
His medical mission to Haiti reinforced the belief that pain is created in the subconscious.
In Haiti, people don’t have easy access to anesthesia, and operations are performed without it.
After the operations, people don’t complain about pain because they knew that they have to have this operation, so they prepared their minds.
This is a powerful episode of the ‘I Love Me Lab Podcast’, because it opens our minds to the possibility that pain can be managed drug-free.
Prepare your mind!
