Our special guest this week, Paul Fishman, is the Host of the top 100 podcast, The Road to Self Love, and Creator of The Self Love Diet … and has recently expanded into relationship content on TikTok and creative consulting. His mission is simple: to empower and inspire a sense of belonging in each of us.

I’m so excited to welcome back Dr. Jody Carrington, our guest from episode 8, for a conversation about connection, relationships, and being brave. As the author of Kids These Days and newly released Teachers These days, we catch up on everything that’s happened since she last joined us and how her mindset and strategy have changed since writing her first book. Jody also shares why connection is more important than ever, especially as we’re adapting to life while the global pandemic continues, and gives us brave actions we can take to start reconnecting.

Our guest this week, Jules Evans, researcher, philosopher, and the person that inspired me to dive into this whole realm of mixing spirituality with conspiracy, joined me for a conversation to talk all things socratic and ecstatic, conspirituality, and creating boundaries in your own spirituality. Jules tells us how a freak skiing accident helped him heal from a life of misadventure with drugs, and led him all the way back to the Stoics of Ancient Greece and the work that he does. We chat about the concept of conspirituality and being able to enjoy spirituality without falling into these more darker areas.

In our culture, we develop negative beliefs around self-care and focusing on ourselves. Things like self-care is selfish, taking time for self-care is lazy. But our guest this week, Katie McDonald, creator of b.nourished, had to learn the hard way that taking care of yourself is the only way you can take care of anyone, or anything else. Through illness, burnout, and a deep desperation, Katie came to the hard truth of why recalibrating and healing your own relationship with yourself is really the key to your happiness, your success, etc. She reminds us that we do have permission. “Self Care is not indulgence. Self neglect is selfish.”

I’m joined this week by the host of the News Du Jour podcast & founder of Sugarfree Media, Annie Bowles. She started Sugarfree Media with the intention of speaking her truth and not sugarcoating things anymore. With a career history in politics, Annie noticed a lack of reliable information and news geared towards young women, and has since made it her purpose to fill that hole. We chat about what it means to be “Sugarfree,” how to start finding and consuming the facts, instead of the BS, and how we can start to speak our own truths.

In today’s society, there’s a huge stigma around sexuality and sexual abuse. This week’s guest, Rosalia Rivera, creator of Consent Parenting and host of the AboutCONSENT podcast, is challenging those stigmas by providing the tools and knowledge to take back your strength, and then start teaching your kids as well. She talks about setting boundaries with yourself, educating yourself to educate your children, and why abuse survivors tend to be such high achievers.

Studies show that most women suffer from lower self esteem for at least three years after having kids. The word mom tends to define women instead of becoming a role that they play. This week’s guest, Heather Steinker started chaos and cookies to keep moms from crumbling and helps them find their sweet spot. Whether that's starting a new business, going back to school, or getting healthier. If you want to learn how to approach your to do list without stress and find the balance between your role as a parent and you as a creative, ambitious, then this episode is for you.

As a high achiever, it’s easy to burn the candle at both ends and feel exhausted. What is the best way to find the balance between nurturing ourselves and reaching goals? In this episode, I’m interviewing Kevin Palmieri on how he was able to go from suicidal to turning his life around and having the success and fulfillment that he does today. We talk about his spiritual practice and his belief that the secret to better balance is building fulfillment into your everyday.
