Dive deep into ideas around health, happiness, and healing. But first, dive into the pain. Ask the questions, why so much pain? Why repeated cycles of addiction, depression, suicide, homicide? Is it time to realize that we are a mentally unwell modern society? Are we ready for to admit we need collective healing? Are we ready to see that Health is far more than the physical?

Caution, this episode may make you inquire into some hard questions. It discusses intense situations. It is an REAL conversation with myself and my emotions. 

I'm currently reading a book by Dr. Gabor Mate called, "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts." Many ideas I discuss come from this book.

In this episode, Renee joins Brooke and Mitch to tell her story of life in the army and her plans of transitioning out. She has spent most of her 20's in the military and it served her original purposes very well. Prior to meeting Brooke and Mitch and going through the Becoming: Quarter Life Calling Program, she went through an identity shifting process where she realized there must be more to life than the military. She asked the question, "who was I before all of this?" Renee is a humble spirit who radiates presence, love, and leadership. Enjoy her wisdom and maturity — she has a lot to teach all of us!

In this episode, Brooke and Mitch sit down with Bryar Stutz, a Quarter Life Calling Program Alumni. Bryar's story encapsulates the human experience of depths, loss, highs, and responsibility to overcome life's obstacles. After losing the things most valuable to him, he was left wondering who he is and what he's meant to do here. He is stepping outside of the norm to prioritize himself and find his authenticity. Bryar is a hugely inspiring figure in how he chooses to live. Enjoy!

This episode is a little different. I sit down to chat about travels the past few months and how this experience has brought up questions about what I want my life to look like. It's raw, in the moment processing — a real conversation of me not having it figured out yet. I hope there is value in this talk to others asking the same questions.

A drop in from the jungle - Brooke and Mitch share about their current adventures traveling and living without walls. They open up about how the Quarter Life Calling Program has been going, and they tell stories from the past of challenge, discovery, and growth.

Tune in to this story of Troy’s about facing a challenging hip issue called FAI.

You’ll learn a lot more than only movement and the body in this podcast: you’ll learn an approach to life.

Pay attention to the language he uses as he tells his story and speaks about his future self. He has a lot of belief in himself and he trusts in the process. This is key to creating what you want in life and overcoming challenges that are put in your path. If you're into personal development, corrective exercise, natural movement, weight training, calisthenics, flexibility... This talk will be inspirational to you.

Beginning flexibility can be a challenging endeavor. It's slow-giving and painful nature can leave you questioning how to begin. First, take the time to understand your body. Make the questionable tangible. Bring the mystery into understanding. In this episode, learn to assess where you are restricted so that you can allow yourself a starting place in your journey. The assessment process doesn't need to be complex, simply get on the floor, roll around, try some new positions and write down what you're experiencing. 

You can see the demonstration of the exercise in the podcast HERE.
