Pay Attention
Podcast Description
As a kick-ass businesswoman turned teacher and spiritual guide, I've faced my own challenges with self-esteem and anxiety. My 20-year journey through neuroscience, psychology, spirituality, and Buddhism inspired me to create the P.E.R.L.O.V.E. Formula—a unique approach that's helped many understand how the mind works, harness the power of Paying Attention, and transform anxiety into a life of peace and fulfillment. In this podcast, I share practical tips and techniques to help you rewrite your stories, break free from old habits, and create space for positive change.

What if recurring dreams held the key to understanding who we truly are—and what we’re here to do?
In this follow-up to their first conversation on dream tending, host Holly McNeill invites dream tender and therapist Valerie Johns back for a raw and revealing live dream tending session.
If you’ve ever wondered who Holly really is beyond the mic, this is the episode. It’s raw, unpolished, and deeply personal—and through the process, Holly learns more than she expected.
Together, Holly and Valerie explore:
- How live dream tending can reveal hidden wisdom within recurring dreams
- Why dreams often uncover unresolved identity, self-worth, and the longing for mentorship
- How the ego loses control in the dream state—and why that matters for personal growth
- How some dreams come from the collective unconscious, calling us to healing and action in the world
This isn’t just a conversation—it’s a vulnerable, transformative experience that invites listeners to tend their own inner landscapes with curiosity and care.
