Ep208 - Feeling Stuck? How to Harness the Habit of Flow with Laurie Smith

Feeling stuck? You might be closer to flow than you think. In this episode of HIListically Speaking, Hilary sits down with flow and creativity expert Laurie Smith, author of The Flow Habit: Creating Peace, Passion, Purpose, and Everyday Miracles, to explore how everyday moments of joy, curiosity, and presence can become powerful catalysts for transformation. Together, they unpack the truth about flow, not as something you chase, but something you remember. Because here's the shift: You don't need to learn flow… you need to reconnect with it. In this conversation, you'll discover:

• Why we're all naturally wired for flow
• How "spark moments" are actually invitations into alignment
• The role of intrinsic motivation and autonomy in well-being
• How small, intentional steps can rewire your brain for joy
• Laurie's FEEL framework: Focus, Engage, Equalize, Listen & Let Go
• The connection between flow, nervous system regulation, and emotional resilience Hilary also weaves in her HUG it Out Method, highlighting how humor, understanding, and gratitude create space for healing without the pressure to "fix" ourselves.
