What if the life you’ve worked so hard to build isn’t actually the life that makes you happy?

Ashley, founder of Devi Beauty Co., joins Lindsay to share how she walked away from a successful corporate career to pursue a life rooted in freedom, spirituality, authenticity and purpose.

From earning six figures in corporate sales to quitting her job without a backup plan and traveling to Uganda on a personal vision quest, Ashley opens up about the experiences that taught her to trust her intuition and embrace the unknown. She shares how leaving behind financial security, navigating divorce and rebuilding her life helped her discover that true safety and happiness come from within.

Ashley also introduces her personal philosophy, "Make Shift Happen," and the inspiration behind "Big Devi Energy," a movement encouraging people to embrace every part of themselves without apology.

What happens when the belief system you were raised with no longer feels like your own?

Lindsay sits down with her friend Jordon Fields — a massage therapist, modern-day mystic and martial artist — to explore his journey from growing up as a Jehovah’s Witness to questioning everything he had been taught, which led to a rebuild of his identity, spirituality and sense of purpose.

Jordan also shares the intense psychedelic experiences that became a turning point in his life, giving him a new purpose: learning how to find peace regardless of what is happening around him. He explains how those experiences eventually led him toward martial arts, physical health, supplementation and the belief that taking care of the body is also a way of taking care of the mind.

Recovery isn't about shame, it's about understanding why we get stuck in the first place.

Dr. Gary Sprouse returns to Know Happiness to build on the ideas from his previous conversation, diving deeper into his Stress Reducer Loop framework and explaining why addiction isn't a personal failure, but an automatic response to unmanaged stress.

Together, he and Lindsay explore how changing the way we think about addiction can replace judgment with compassion, reduce stigma and create a more hopeful path toward lasting change.

They discuss why so many traditional approaches leave people feeling broken, how new habits become automatic and why reducing stress might be the missing piece in recovery.
