    <description>Two friends. Almost forty years of shared history. Two lives shaped by different choices, different experiences, and different political paths. Yet beneath every divergence, one truth endured. Love never left.

This stands as proof of what still exists beneath the noise. Hear honest conversations about politics, identity, aging, relationships, healing, and the unseen forces that shape human life. Nothing is off limits. Nothing is scripted. Witness what becomes possible when two people choose presence over position, listening over certainty, and love over division. Love still binds us.</description>

Angelica Faith joins Tammy and Lori for a conversation about deconditioning: unlearning the shoulds, retiring the strong independent woman hat she has worn so long it fused to her, and getting radically honest about what actually lights her up.
She shares the download that told her to write a musical. She describes the moment on a coaching call when two halves of her life finally clicked into one, and the Broadway dream she had never told her closest friend about. And she says a sentence out loud for the first time in her life: good girls aren't angry.

Tammy gets honest about living the dream she chased for ten years and still fighting guilt for not working. She talks about worthiness that is not earned. She talks about the three years she survived one AA meeting at a time.
It is a conversation about intuition, about receiving, and about the fact that not everything is meant to come with you. Letting go is allowed to be ugly.

      <itunes:summary>Nadja Marks-Shafton doesn't work for money. She works for God. And she says that's the actual source of abundance.
On this episode of the spiritual podcast The United States of Us, Tammy and Lori sit down with the award-winning artist, educator, and creative leadership mentor behind Casa Nadja and Free Art Skills. After two episodes on the Divine Masculine, this one brings it full circle with the Divine Feminine. Nadja shares the three stops of her virtual art school, the Krishna story that reframes surrender, why choosing purpose over money is the real abundance mindset, and how she teaches oil painting for beginners so complete non-artists go from blank canvas to a painting they'd hang on their wall in one month.
This conversation covers creativity and spirituality, art as healing, emotional expression, and leaving corporate America to build a life that fits like a glove. If you've ever said "I'm not an artist," this one's for you. Bring it. Put it on the altar.

      <itunes:summary>What happens when you finally stop replaying the story of what was done to you — and start asking what it's here to teach you?
In Episode 11 of The United States of Us, Tammy and Lori have one of their most honest conversations yet. It starts with a post called "The Victimhood Loop" and turns into something neither of them planned: a live, unscripted, and emotional exchange about a real moment when Lori felt "not chosen" — and how she moved through it instead of staying stuck in it.
Together they unpack why healing is a responsibility (not a fault), what forgiveness really means, and how the emotions we refuse to feel end up living in the body. Raw, tender, funny, and deeply human.
In this episode:
The "victimhood loop" and how identity fuses with a wound
Why what happened to you is not your fault, but healing from it is your responsibility
Forgiveness that frees YOU — not the person who hurt you
Lori's real, never-before-shared story about feeling left out before Tammy's move to Spain
Perfectionism, unworthiness, and "earning" love
How children process emotion — and what we unlearn as adults
Feeling it to heal it: crying, screaming into a pillow, dancing, movement
"The Body Keeps the Score" and how buried emotion becomes physical
Giving yourself (and others) permission to be vulnerable
Mentioned in this episode:
"The Victimhood Loop" — a post by Katherine Keeler
The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk

She tells the story of the 25-year secret she finally told her husband, and what happened when she did. Tammy talks about the grief that shows up without warning. About her mother. About carrying the belief that she was the burden who changed her mother's life.</p><p>Then we come back to the ground. Box breathing. Feeling your feet on the floor.

It's Independence Day week. It's the country's 250th. It's Hope's birthday. This year the word means something different to us. We are not waiting for a country or a system to hand us our freedom.

      <itunes:summary>Jamey LeVier had his first drink at six years old. He spent the next four decades drinking. Then one morning at 4 AM he made himself a promise.
This week Tammy and Lori sit down with Jamey LeVier, the man behind Sober Man on a Mission. Jamey got sober without staying in the rooms and without accepting that his brain was broken for good. He built his own way out. He calls it seeing yourself as a person who doesn't drink. Not a person who can't. A person who doesn't.
We talk about the night everything turned. We talk about rehab and what it got right and what it got wrong. We talk about the identity shift that made sobriety stick. Lori shares her own story. Tammy shares hers, 32 years of it. Three people, three paths, one table.
Jamey built Sober Man on a Mission for the high-functioning man who looks successful from the outside and is fighting alcohol in private. He priced the whole program at 23 dollars on purpose. He is not doing it for the money. He is doing it for the man he used to be.
This one is for anyone who has made the 4 AM promise and watched their 5 PM brain break it.

      <itunes:summary>Lori spent 28 years in banking. Tammy filed for bankruptcy and divorce on the same day in 2009. Three decades into a friendship that started behind the same bank counter, they live on different continents now and do work neither of them could have named at 25.
This is Episode 4 of The United States of Us, recorded on 4-4.
Lori walks through what Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique actually does and what happened in her first QHHT session in February 2023 that made her walk away from a perfect corporate job. Tammy talks about womb reclamation therapy. She talks about the identity realignment work she does with high-achieving women who built everything and feel disconnected from all of it. She talks about the day she decided she would not work until she's dead.
Neither of them is interested in the recliner that's waiting at the end of the script.
If you have ever looked around at the life you built and asked who actually lives here, this one is for you.

This episode is about the way back.
Tammy and Lori sit with the fear being fed to us. Fear of men. Fear of the future. Fear of each other. They name what it actually is. Programming. Profit. Division that somebody is making money on.
They talk about what it looks like to stop consenting. To sit with yourself. To recognize the love that is already there, underneath all the noise. To stand next to a man who has been told you are the problem, and to stay steady anyway.
This episode is for the person scrolling at midnight, wondering if anyone is still sane. It is for the person who loves their family and their country and feels like both are being taken from them. It is for the man who has been told he is dangerous. It is for the woman who has been told to be afraid of him.
We are what is coming.
