Today I am joined by Johnna, an evidence based life coach and host of the Shit I Wish Someone Told Me Podcast. Today we talk about how, often times, the seemingly positive things we hear can lack the nuance and understanding required for us to grow. And how, though something may help us in the short term, it may not be the best way for us to continue in life.

You can follow Johnna on Instagram @soulsearchingandsquats and don't forget to check out her new program "When Self-Help Isn't Helping".

You can find the book mentioned here, Honor - by C. S. Phoenix and follow her (it's me, but poetic) on Instagram @C.S.Phoenix. You can also listen to the audio readings on Spotify.

Join me as I talk to Michael Ulloa, a personal trainer and performance nutritionist, about the body positivity movement, how fitness is for everyone - not just people with visible abs, and how health goes much deeper than what you look like. This real, human conversation also touches on how one's socioeconomic status can impact their overall health and how we need to have more conversations about the bigger picture of health if we want to see change.

We went all over the board on this one.  From how we got into bodybuilding and powerlifting to how finding your purpose can help guide your personal growth. We touched on how we often share the same pain or trials and how we can set aside our differences and have conversations with one another to find peace and understanding in our humanity.

Stay until the end for the conversation cards to find out Brennan's love languages and what Chandra would say to her younger self.

In this episode, we talk with Megan about how she became familiar with dyslexia when her young son was struggling.  From there she has learned about dyslexia and literacy so that she can advocate for her kids and work to change the education system to serve every child. We dive into neurodiversity and how is has impacted our lives, because it can be much more than trouble reading or sitting still, and the stigma around it needs to end.
