Transcribe →Change, Toxic Work Cultures & the Warning Signs We Ignore - Hugo Meets Debbie
Jun 3000:56:45Tap to summarizeMost coaches talk about mindset. Debbie Longo starts somewhere else entirely — with behavior. And the distinction, she'll tell you, changes everything.In this episode, Hugs sits down with Debbie Longo, founder of Life in Bloom NY, executive behavioral coach with over 20 years of experience, and host of both the Behavioral Profit Show and the Internal Shift Show. After 19 years of coaching clients alongside her spiritual teacher and mentor, Debbie launched her own practice in 2021 — just as the world was still finding its footing after the pandemic — and hasn't looked back since.Debbie breaks down why behavior has to come before mindset (you can't plant the plant without planting the seed first), how toxic work environments almost always start at the top, and why the number one thing she notices across every single client — no matter the industry or the crisis — is negativity. Not the kind people talk about. The kind people don't even realize they're carrying.They also dig into why Debbie refuses to do cookie-cutter coaching packages, what her Internal Shift Show is really trying to do for the person too scared to take the first step, and the one truth she wishes her younger self had heard before hitting rock bottom: pay attention to the warning signs before they become walls.This is a grounded, real, and quietly powerful conversation about what it actually takes to change. 🌐 Find Debbie: lifeinbloomny.com | debbelongo.com | LinkedIn 💛 Don't lose Faith, lose Fear.

Jun 2300:55:05Tap to summarizeAlan Lazaros lost his father in a car accident before he could even remember him. He went on to do everything right — top engineering school, MBA, corporate career, elite global earner. And then at 26, he was in a near-fatal car accident of his own. Same way his dad died. And that's when everything cracked open.In this episode, Hugs sits down with Alan — host of one of the world's top 100 personal development podcasts, Next Level University, with over 2,300 episodes, listeners in 180+ countries, and more than 7,200 one-on-one coaching sessions under his belt — for one of the most intellectually rich and emotionally honest conversations Sol Meets Heart has had.They go deep on the four parts of your nature (mental, physical, emotional, spiritual) and which one is secretly driving your life. Alan breaks down the three fears that box people in — fear of failure, fear of success, and fear of judgment — and why most people don't even know which one is running them.They talk about productive avoidance, why personal development can become an escape from actual healing, and what it really means to build self-worth versus self-belief. Alan also opens up about co-founding the Next Level Hope Foundation with his business partner Kevin — turning Father's Day, a painful holiday for both of them, into a day of celebration for kids without fathers.This one hits differently.🎙️ Next Level University: nextleveluniverse.com | Podcast on Spotify & YouTube💛 Don't lose Faith, lose Fear.

For anyone who's been called selfish for putting themselves first.

Transcribe →When Desire Meets Healing: Kink, Grief & the Courage to Know Yourself - Hugo Meets Cat
