Growing up in Michigan and attending a competitive business school, I was taught the “hustle, work hard/play hard” approach to life.
However, I quickly felt stressed on that path and I made a vow: to find a way to live that felt joyful and fulfilling – and to help others do the same.
In 2009, I began exploring these ideas through a blog. And in 2014, I expanded the concepts I was learning further through The Lively Show podcast.
The Lively Show (17.7M+ downloads) has been an immense journey: first sharing interviews with thought-leaders like Brené Brown, Gary Vaynerchuk, and Elizabeth Gilbert… and then diving “beyond the mind” into inner voice work, the Law of Attraction, quantum mechanics, consciousness, and non-duality.
Now, 2025, I’ve entered a new era of the journey.
After 15 years diving deep within my inner voice, the emotional ‘bean bags’ of my mind, and past lives within my soul – and helping 7,000+ online students do the same – I’m excited to explore the lighter side of being alive.
I’m currently creating a series of physical products and in-person experiences that reflect the beauty and wellbeing within us all.
If your intuition feels it’s a fit, I hope you enjoy exploring The Lively Show, our online classes, or perhaps even an session with myself and Lucid.
I was named Jessica at birth. However, a few years ago I asked my inner voice what my name was and I heard, “Bella.”
My inner voice explained, “Bella Lively means the Beauty of Being Alive.”
And nothing feels more aligning than that.
The Lively Show is designed to uplift, inspire, and help you add a little extra presence to your everyday.
With more than 17.7 million downloads, 10 seasons, and 460+ episodes, we have covered a lot of ground!
Episodes 1-200 feature world famous thought-leaders, such as Elizabeth Gilbert, Gary Vaynerchuk, and Brené Brown. If your interests lie along the Law of Attraction and energy spectrum, I recommend starting with episodes 214 to 218. And if you are interested in inner voice work and consciousness, press play from episode 305 onward.
Or, let your intuition guide you to the episodes that are right for you!
Before flowing into the Business Manager role, I had been a part of the Lively community for years!
Along with tuning into the podcast for alignment time regularly, I joined Flow with Intention around the time I started my business at 24-years-old, released bean bags for the first time at the Magic, Not Manual event in Pittsburg, learned how to access different brain wave states during Cschool online, and resonated deeply with the Flowing Up audio series during several years of moving.
Through all of my life and business transitions (from design to life coaching to event + business management), being a part of the Lively community has stayed consistent. I know from experience just how special this community is and am incredibly grateful to contribute and be a part of Team Alively!
You’ll probably catch me in the inbox or a Sophia Session!
I started listening to The Lively Show when I was 23, recently graduated from college and commuting to work a social media marketing job that was not fulfilling me. I felt so confused because even though I was doing what I was told in college to dream for, I was still so depressed. The Lively Show and Bella showed me there was a different way to live.
Now years later and through many of my own transformations which Bella guided me through, I am so overjoyed to be her Social Media and Community Manager. It is truly an honor to help spread the love and light Bella has to share.
