Sophie Malahieude

Emotional Balance Coach & Author of Beyond Emotions: From Overwhelm to Intentional Love

I'm Sophie Malahieude, an Emotional Balance Coach, Yoga and Ayurvedic Lifestyle Consultant, certified Life Coach, and author of the self-help book Beyond Emotions: Stop Letting Emotions Control You and Start Living with Love.

My path into this work didn't begin with a career plan. It began with movement, curiosity, and a deep need to understand myself.

I was born and raised in France, then moved to Germany as an adult. In 1997, I walked into my first yoga class without speaking the language. Yet something in me immediately understood what was happening. Yoga became a place where I felt at home and listened inward. It wasn't just exercise—it was a doorway to understanding how my mind functions. Over time, yoga became my anchor, a practice that taught me how to stay with myself through discomfort, change, and uncertainty.

In 2003, my family and I moved to the United States. With that move came another reinvention. I felt called to go deeper into the practices that had already changed my life, and I decided to become a yoga teacher and later an Ayurvedic practitioner.

For me, yoga is the art of coming home to yourself. It is a living philosophy that teaches us how to observe the mind, feel the body, regulate the nervous system, and cultivate awareness in everyday life. It is not about perfect poses—it is about learning how to be in a relationship with yourself.

Ayurveda added another essential layer. It helped me understand the unique nature of each person and how emotions, digestion, lifestyle, seasons, and daily habits shape our physical and mental health. Ayurveda showed me that symptoms are not random; they are messages. That the body is always communicating with us, and that healing happens when we learn to listen.

With each international move, I had to rebuild my life—new culture, new community, new identity. Along the way, I became a mother, raised two children, and, like many caregivers, spent years prioritizing others while setting parts of myself aside.

Brylye Collins

Helping singles thrive in self-love and find love intentionally.

I'm Brylye Collins—Certified Relationship Coach and founder of Building with Bry (Thriving Solo + Intentional Connections). I built this work because I kept hearing the same thing from smart, successful people: "I'm not even excited to date anymore." Not because they don't want love, but because modern dating has become exhausting, confusing, and often disconnected from real values.

My perspective is simple: the quality of your relationships is directly tied to the quality of your relationship with yourself. Before you can connect deeply with someone else, you have to reconnect with you—your needs, your standards, your boundaries, your patterns, and the parts of you that learned to chase, settle, over-give, or tolerate uncertainty. That's what Thriving Solo is about: helping people rebuild self-trust and emotional readiness so dating stops feeling like a performance and starts feeling like alignment.

I work with clients across the U.S. who are ready for a healthier, more intentional approach to love. In coaching, we focus on confidence, clarity, healing old cycles, communication, and boundaries—so clients can stop repeating the same dynamics with different people. And for those who are ready to date with real intention, I offer Intentional Connections, a boutique matchmaking experience designed for people who want a relationship that leads somewhere and are done with the chaos of app culture.

Podcast audiences gain practical tools and honest truth-telling. I'm not here to sell fantasy or "perfect partner" narratives. I help listeners understand why they keep choosing the same type of person, how to spot emotional unavailability early, what secure dating actually looks like, and how to build standards without building walls. I also bring a grounded, modern take on matchmaking—what works, what doesn't, and how to date with strategy while staying true to yourself.

If your show serves women or men who are high-functioning but tired of dating, healing after heartbreak, rebuilding confidence, or ready to call in a healthier relationship, I can give your audience both mindset shifts and actionable steps they can use immediately. A conversation with me helps people stop chasing love and start creating it—consciously, confidently, and intentionally.

Erica Elliott

Erica M. Elliott, MD

I am a medical doctor in Santa Fe, New Mexico with patients from across the US. I have lived in many different countries while growing up. My adult life began as a school teacher on the Navajo Reservation in the early 1970s, then Peace Corps volunteer in South America working as a bilingual educator, high-altitude mountain climber in the Andes, Outward Bound Instructor in the Colorado Rockies, and then medical doctor in New Mexico. I helped found a co-housing community in Santa Fe called The Commons, where I raised my son, described in a TED talk I gave in 2015. My life has been a mythic journey of wonderment and life-changing experiences including some major health disasters—which ultimately led me to finding my life purpose of service to those who are suffering.

In addition to being a medical doctor, I'm also an author. My first memoir, "Medicine and Miracles in the High Desert: My Life Among the Navajo People," has received enthusiastic reviews. When I learned to speak Navajo while teaching at a boarding school in canyon country, the people welcomed me into their remote homes and their sacred ceremonies, and taught me about their culture.

My second memoir, "From Mountains to Medicine: Scaling the Heights in Search of My Calling" is my quest for finding my purpose in life. One reader wrote:

In this memoir, Dr. Erica Elliott not only shares pivotal events that have shaped her extraordinary life, but through them, she also shares the essence of what it means to be human. She reminds us that challenges, confusion, and physical and emotional pain are inseparable from life, but so is delight. She shows us that we can discover unknown strength, if we choose to test it. She chose repeatedly to do so, and each time she emerged stronger and added a piece to the mosaic that is her unusual, spellbinding life.
