What if the secret to finding the right relationship starts with you — not with the right app, the right profile, or the right opener?

This week, host Susan Shore sits down with two remarkable women from very different corners of the wellness world: Marla Past, full-spectrum health coach, author, hypnotherapist, and meditation teacher; and Julie Shanebrook, founder and CEO of ChillRx Med Spa in Delray Beach. Both have turned personal struggles into powerful careers helping others feel better from the inside out.

Together, they explore the surprising and deeply personal connections between physical health, emotional well-being, self-confidence, and our ability to build meaningful relationships. The conversation covers:

• How cryotherapy, infrared sauna, and contrast therapy work — and why reducing inflammation can quiet anxiety and shift your entire outlook
• The law of attraction and vibration: why becoming the person you want to attract is more than just a mantra
• Marla's journey from childhood obesity and decades-long battle with bulimia to becoming a guide for others navigating life's hardest transitions
• Julie's breast cancer journey, how her own wellness tools carried her through, and her moving tribute to the women who came before her
• Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and the science of healing from the inside out
• Why "degunk" might be the most honest relationship advice you'll ever hear

Whether you're recovering from heartbreak, reentering the dating world, or simply trying to feel more like yourself again, this episode is a reminder that the healthiest relationships start with a healthy relationship with you.
