The Second Half Can Be the Best Half: Purpose, Acceptance, and Aging Well with Hal Elrod

Beautiful soul, this episode is for anyone navigating midlife changes, questioning their energy, purpose, or identity, or wondering how to age with peace, meaning, and joy. Julie is joined by Hal Elrod, bestselling author of The Miracle Morning and co-author of The Miracle Morning After 50, for a deeply honest and expansive conversation about acceptance, resilience, gratitude, and redefining what it means to thrive in the second half of life. Hal shares personal stories of survival, including his near-fatal car accident, cancer journey, and the spiritual principles that carried him through life’s most challenging seasons. Together, they explore why acceptance is the gateway to peace, how purpose keeps us alive and energized, and why aging does not mean decline but an invitation to evolve, simplify, and live more aligned with the heart. This episode is especially supportive for those moving through health challenges, hormonal shifts, career transitions, parenting transitions, or a spiritual reawakening.

Beautiful soul, this episode is for any woman navigating perimenopause, menopause, or feeling confused by the emotional, mental, and physical shifts happening in her body. Julie is joined by Dr. Mindy Pelz for a powerful, grounded conversation that reframes hormonal change not as something breaking down, but as an initiation into wisdom, clarity, and deeper self-trust. Together, they explore why symptoms like brain fog, anxiety, irritability, sleep disruption, and emotional intensity are not failures, but messages from the body asking to be listened to differently. This episode gently reframes menopause as a spiritual and biological transition, intuition as a skill that strengthens with age, and metabolic health as a foundation for emotional balance. It is especially supportive for women feeling unseen by the medical system, overwhelmed by symptoms, or sensing that this season of life is calling them into a new level of leadership, truth, and alignment.

Together, Julie and Pedro break down the pattern of tension, surrender, and revelation, and how this becomes a practical way to understand manifesting beyond ego and control. They also discuss grief signs, divine orchestration, and how service and ministry can become the path back to peace.

Loneliness, Oneness, and Angelic Stillness: Pedro’s Angel Stories & Miracles in Motion In today’s episode, we begin with an angel message for those feeling lonely, unseen, or “too much” and then we welcome Pedro, a minister whose life has been shaped by powerful angel encounters, stillness, and surprising miracles (including a car that wouldn’t go in reverse). Pedro shares his first childhood experience of yelling at God in a dark closet and suddenly being filled with radiant love, how he experiences angels as “pure thought,” and how that same felt sense of oneness has guided him into ministry, through financial uncertainty, and into unexpected opportunities. Together, we talk about stillness as the highest frequency, trusting that God uses everything (even pneumonia and broken cars), and how we can become channels of blessing for others. This conversation is tender, funny, and deeply spiritual especially if you’ve ever felt alone, worried about money, or unsure how God and the angels are moving in your life.

Is there one universal meaning of life, or a purpose we each get to choose and create for ourselves? In this profound conversation with author James Bailey, we explore the answers he gathered from asking 100 people—from Jane Goodall to Holocaust survivors—the biggest question of all. We dive into the difference between meaning and purpose, how our definition evolves through life's challenges, and the powerful choice we all have to find hope, spread love, and assign a beautiful meaning to our own existence.   Have questions about The Angel Membership or Angel Reiki School?
