Conscious discipline isn't something we DO to kids...it's something we help them create INSIDE THEMSELVES, so they can have the resiliency to be able to go off into the world. When we give them conscious skills, it feels good to them. It feels respectful. It feels kind. It feels compassionate. It feels assertive, which helps them feel like their voice matters.

In this next episode, I get to interview Ginny Luther, a master instructor of conscious discipline.

I know many of us by now have heard certain buzzwords like mindfulness, being present, and conscious living.

In this episode with Ginny we talk about raising kids consciously. This is something that my kids are getting to take advantage of, as it's woven into their curriculum at school.

And I’m so excited to bring one of their instructors to YOU!

I hope you enjoy this episode!

Most of the toothpaste out there is BAD for you and your teeth. So what do we WANT in a toothpaste? All you need is something that'll clean the teeth off (like bentonite clay) and add minerals back (like hydroxyapatite). Those are the only two things you want.

In this episode I get to interview Dr. Michelle Jorgensen, who is a functional integrative dentist, and I am so excited to share this information with you.

Dr. Michelle was a dentist practicing for ten years when she started to have some really challenging symptoms that were negatively impacting her health and career.  Through her own journey to return to health, she discovered the Health-Based Dentistry field.

She has created the Total Care Dental and Wellness Way, a patient CARE centric, health focused method for treating dental and overall health. She trains dentists on these science and research based methods through her Total Care Academy, and teaches the public through her growing platform called Living Well with Dr. Michelle.

In this episode we talk about her story, and then my favorite part of this episode is all the tools that you can incorporate right away in your family.

I went through a lightning round with her and I asked her a bunch of questions (like what are some of the best things and worst things for our teeth, what are some of the best foods, worst foods, best habits, worst habits, what should we have (and not have) in our toothpaste, etc.

This episode has so much information for you, and I am so eager for you to hear it.

Enjoy!

#015: When you create an open, loving environment, kids feel comfortable to make mistakes. And if they are comfortable making mistakes, that automatically increases their confidence level.

In this episode I get to interview Leila Center. Leila is the founder of the school that we put our children in here in Florida. And although I know most people listening to this probably aren't going to move to Miami and put their kids in this school, there's a lot that you can take away from this episode.

During our time together Leila and I cover the core values of the school. Core values are something that you can create in your own family. We've done this in ours, and it makes a big difference in the way that we parent our children and the things that we make time for together as a family.

We also talk about the main foundations of the school: Connection, love, and conscious discipline.

Conscious discipline is something that so many now have access to online. And there are coaches that you can find in your area, if you’re looking for help in your home or school.

There are so many good takeaways in this episode, even if you don't send your kids to this school.

I’m so excited for you to hear it and can't wait to hear your thoughts.

Enjoy!

Most people’s systems are out of whack, with their sympathetic nervous system (fight flight or freeze mode) dominating. This leaves you functioning as a very reduced version of yourself because all your energy is reverted to the parts of your brain that just help you survive. Kava helps reset that and build up the parasympathetic nervous system, which is the state where your body can heal and recover, where you can connect with people, and where you can open up your higher aspirations cognitively and emotionally as well.

In this next interview, I get to spend some time with someone who has become a dear friend, Cameron George. Cameron is the co-founder of one of my favorite products called Tru Kava.

I met Cameron about five years ago, where he was serving kava at an event I was attending. I had my first sample of this beverage that's been around for thousands of years in the South Pacific, and I was blown away. I felt so good. I felt euphoric. I felt my heart was open.

I had this massive desire to connect with people and for social interaction. Normally I would reach for alcohol in order to have that feeling, but this was so much better.

I love that this is a natural product that not only feels good in the moment, but can actually change my brain over time for the better.

In this episode, Cameron shares his incredible story of such adversity, nearly losing his life to chronic illness and how kava actually pulled him through. And that's why he's doing what he does now, bringing kava to the masses. He also shares tons of great information about kava (what it is, what it isn’t, what it does, uses for it, etc.).

I am so excited for you to listen to this guy. He just spews information, so get ready!

When it comes to nutrition and overall health, every bite counts…especially for our children! And most of the food out there for babies and kids is terrible. So what are parents supposed to do? Serenity Kids can help!

In this podcast I interview Joe and Serenity Carr, the co-founders of Serenity Kids.

I met Joe and Serenity about a year ago at an event, and I knew when I started this podcast that I wanted to have them on here.

As you may or may not know, my mission is to impact the health of generations to come, and I know that we do that through the moms. Joe and Serenity created one of the most incredible “first food” products (food pouches and puffs) for children.

They source the best ingredients and their macronutrients are very well balanced. They even have a healthy baby formula, and it’s the only formula I would ever recommend.

They have an incredible story of overcoming health challenges that were caused by poor food and diet when they were young.

Over the years, as they cleaned up their own diet, they found a lot of healing and wellness in their body and mind.

When they had their own child, they discovered that the food for babies contained all the stuff they had cut out of their own diet. Serenity Kids was born out of their desire to create healthy and nutritious food for their own baby.

Those first foods, the first things that we put in our kid’s bodies are so important. So whether you have a baby, or you know someone with a baby, or perhaps someone in your family is thinking about having a baby, please share this podcast with them. It could very well change their kids' lives for the better and eliminate years of suffering.

Thank you!

Most people don’t want to change. But if you really want to change, you have to do the work. What’s the work? Listen to this podcast episode to find out! Put these 3 things into practice and I promise you, you will look in the mirror one day (sooner than you think) and you'll barely recognize yourself.

Khalil Rafati is the founder of SunLife Organics. It's not just a smoothie or a juice shop. It's a place for transformation and human connection, a place where people can go and really feel truly that they're loved and that they matter.

He has an amazing and powerful story. In this conversation with Khalil you’ll hear how he went from the lowest of lows (living on the streets of Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles, addicted to heroin and cocaine) to how he got sober, and over time how he changed and grew into the man he is today.

I can’t wait to share this conversation with you. Enjoy!

It sounds so cliche, but everything is happening FOR you, not TO you. And the minute you change your mindset to that, all the challenges that you go through will make you stronger. Challenges in your life give you a new perspective, and are the greatest spiritual teachers.

In this next episode, I get to bring to you Brisa Hennessy, who is an incredible professional surfer that we had the pleasure of meeting a few years ago when we brought hyperbaric oxygen therapy to the North Shore for the World Surf Competition.

Brisa was someone who instantly blew me away when I first met her. This woman is one of the best surfers in the world, and yet one of the most humble, real, down to earth, vulnerable, open chicks I've ever met in my life.

I am so excited for you to get to know her the way that we've gotten to know her.

Enjoy!

Before we can even get out of fight or flight, we have to start becoming a partner with our brain and body and not fighting them. Because as long as we feel like we're enemies and we're fighting our brain or we're fighting our body, we're perpetuating fight or flight within ourselves.

This interview with Ashleigh Di Lello could change your life.

In this episode, Ashleigh and I talk about the incredible power of the brain.

When Ashleigh was just 13, she was faced with a terminal diagnosis. She was told by doctors that she could never dance again, that she wouldn't live long enough to get married or have children, and that she wouldn't make it past her teenage years.

But she refused to accept this, and set out on a journey to find another path. This led her to discover how you can heal your body with the power of your brain.

Ashleigh is the founder and creator of Bio Emotional Healing, a revolutionary method based in neuroscience that helps her clients around the world finally break free from emotional trauma, limiting beliefs, anxiety, and chronic pain to thrive in their lives! Ashleigh defied the odds and has been an elite athlete, a TV & Broadway star, and has become an entrepreneur, mind coach, and motivational speaker.

In this episode she shares two incredible and tangible tools that you can use daily to RESPOND instead of reacting to whatever life throws at you.

Enjoy!

When you experience hardships and trials along your journey to improve your life, think of it like this: It’s a chance to prove how bad you want it, how far you’re willing to go, and how hard you’re willing to work.

If you go ALL IN and prove your commitment, then the universe (or source, God, or whatever speaks to you) will roll out the red carpet for you and give you what you’re working toward.

I recently made a commitment to myself that I am going to become the healthiest version of myself.

I felt this in every inch of my body, that this was something that excited me and was a commitment that I was making to myself for the next year.

Within a day or so of declaring this, my voice got all raspy and I was feeling really run down.

Of course this would happen!

Many people have a victim mindset and get derailed when things don’t go as planned.

But I don’t play that game, and I don’t want you to play it either.

So let’s talk about what it looks like to go all in and turn challenges and obstacles into opportunities to rise up and develop resilience.

Evolving, changing our programing, or stepping beyond trauma is a process, and it's not going to be perfect. It often looks like two steps forward, one step back. But that’s the way the world works. Just realize that every time you work through something, especially when it’s something you thought you’ve already addressed, there's often a different lesson or additional layer to work through.

This episode is with my dear friend Joseph Anew. Joseph is a health, fitness, and nutrition expert. He and his wife run an event called Runga, which is one of my favorite events we go to every year.

Joseph has undergone immense personal transformation, especially since the birth of his son. We talk about how certain events in our lives will create a fork in the road where we can choose which path we want to take.

How things happen for us, not to us, and set us on a trajectory that has the power to change our lives.

We also talk about how growth and change can affect the relationships around you.

Enjoy!
