“Many people need desperately to receive this message: ‘I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.” –Kurt Vonnegut

“We run to undo the damage we’ve done to body and spirit. We run to find some part of ourselves yet undiscovered.” -John “The Penguin” Bingham

Here’s yet another podcast from the past for the future. This is one I’ve been absolutely dying to share with all of you—and waiting rather impatiently to do so!

Today’s guest is a personal trainer, coach, and “lover of all things health, fitness, and wellness,” as well as the voice behind the partially eponymous blog CaveManning and the Keep Health Alive podcast, Justin Manning. We discuss:

* What happens when we pack a ball gown in our suitcase (and why we might need to keep it there a little longer)

* Why we should share secrets

* What happens when we craft our resolutions out loud

* Why we should get lost more often

We also discuss male eating disorders, isolation, and identity. Things get a little metaphorical—and a little intense!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! It’s 2014, and we couldn’t be happier to starting off this year with you by our sides.

Today, our guest is Mike Mayle, of Balance Yoga Center in San Jose, CA. Mike is a Chek Holistic Lifestyle Coach and a yoga instructor. We discuss how to:

* Unwind and find your authentic self

* Be mindful of how you talk about food and exercise with others

* Effectively set, keep, and measure goals.
