I’ve been so excited to release this episode and have been waiting for Summer to do this, particularly because there’s so much gold dropped in this episode about the benefits of direct sun and Vitamin D. Today’s guest is Dr. Joseph Mercola whom I met at the Upgrade Labs annual biohacking conference that I MC’d at. Dr. Mercola has treated over 25,000 patients from all around the world and is a New York Times Best-selling Author. My beautiful mother has been following him for years so I had a ton of questions from her and others to ask him around how to master health and wellness. 

Some Questions I Ask: 

• What direction do you think the health industry is heading in? (10:41)

• The benefits of Vitamin D and how it can help transfer energy directly from the sun to your body (14:25) 
• The factor of “dirty electricity,” which interferes with the benefits of grounding in most of North America. At the ocean, it negates that and you receive true grounding. (16:27)
• The most important principle is to compress your eating. 90% of people, eat more than 12 hours a day. Metabolic defects such as insulin resistance and it doesn’t work like it should. (24:08)
• Compress your eating window to 6 to 8 hours. (25:39). 
• What is autophagy and why it is one of the most beneficial pathways in your body? (25:59) 
• How autophagy can be activated through time restricted eating or intermittent fasting. This activates your stem cells, you start to detoxify more and become metabolically flexible. (27:06)
• The only caution in your eating window is to make sure you don’t eat three hours before you go to sleep. (28:21)
• His experience and views of the keto diet (30:32)

Here’s to taking it slow, aligning ourselves, and refining our aim.

On today’s pod, I talk with someone who has truly let go of the grit and grind, and replaced that space with patience, compassion, and serenity. My new friend, Tiffany Carter, is an amazing woman. She’s truly aligned from the inside out, a successful multi-millionaire entrepreneur, and has the intuitive ability to connect with women on a deeper level to uncover what’s blocking them from achieving their dream life.

Tiffany Carter shares what it’s like to be stressed out, burnt out, exhausted, and keep going, going, going—until it all just stops. She shares her personal stories of how she’s pushed herself to the limit, which at one point led her to quit her job as a very successful journalist, and at another point drove her to experience suicidal thoughts.

Tiffany debunks the romanticized myths around “hustling,” and shifts the focus to self-care, going slow, and aligning ourselves to our true mission.

You’re going to love this conversation. Are you ready for it?

P.S.: For the love of God, make sure to take time to unplug and realign to an awakened soul today!

• How will you know when it’s time to stop procrastinating? (47:30)
• How would you describe your flow, pace, and state? (54:51)
• How would you describe an awakened soul? (58:01)

• What initially inspired Tiffany to work hard and hustle her way to success. (11:05)
• How Tiffany went from spiritually and emotionally bankrupt to living a life of abundance. (29:13)
• Tiffany’s biggest “wake up” moment. (34:40)
• How Tiffany pushes against the “shame scroll” and aims to instead empower others. (43:49)
• How Tiffany’s state has positively transformed over the course of a year. (55:04)

I’m so excited to share this pod with you all today. I can’t think of a more perfect first guest to have on the Fire and Soul Podcast.

In this episode, I’m talking with Sally Lou Loveman. I fell in love with her at “hello,” and I know that you will, too. She is a former producer for the Oprah Winfrey Show, Oprah’s life class, and so much more. She truly lives her purpose by connecting with audiences, clients, and deepening her soul’s connection to the world around her every day. She just oozes and radiates the mission of where we’re headed now. She has found the key to efficiency in her mission-driven life, which is through identifying and pursuing her own purpose.

Sally shares her story about what it was like working with Oprah as her audience producer for almost 20 years, how she overcomes challenges in her everyday life, and how she had a God-moment that launched the rest of her life after Oprah.

Let’s get started!

Some Questions I Ask:

• What was your experience like working with Oprah Winfrey? (15:40)
• What did you do after Oprah’s show ended? (19:17)

Hello, my friends!

Exactly one year ago today was the launch of The Mindset Mashup. I’m so thankful for every moment, nuggets of truth, and deep, meaningful insights that shined through that podcast. After a year of just going for it, it’s time to take a step back and aim, aim, aim.

Fire and Soul is taking a slightly different direction in vision and execution from The Mindset Mashup. From here on out, we’re going to keep talking about taking massive, inspired action from an awakened and aligned soul.

This podcast is a weekly dose of spiritual principles, personal development, and success strategies for creating an epically aligned life. Come with me along the journey in pursuit of less hustle, grit, and grind, and more flow, easy, and grace.

I’m Michelle Sorro, the founder of the Live Video Mastery Academy, a TV host, speaker, bestselling author, and proud fur mama. I’ll be sharing my conversations with successful entrepreneurs, thought leaders, authors, spiritual luminaries, and high-performance experts in this transformational, soul-centered podcast.

Things are about to get real. Are you ready?

Today’s guest is Marcos Rossi. He is such a beautiful soul and a beautiful example of what it looks like to live completely with a no-limits mindset, no matter what life throws your way. I met Marcos at Date with Destiny last year and was immediately very taken by his energy, his spirit, his radiance. I can’t wait to share his mindset and life story with you all today!

In this conversation, we talk about focusing on the bright side, always looking for life’s blessings, and being grateful for what we already have. More importantly, we talk about never getting caught up in the “how” to do anything. Instead, get focused, be resourceful, ask for help, and be willing to and brave enough to embrace the intimacy of needing one another. That’s what’s at the heart of Marcos Rossi’s message today.

When you shift your perspective to one of possibility, positivity, and perseverance, it really makes you want to question all the times you doubt yourself. When you’ve got a growth mindset that’s on fire, with no limits, and you’re aware of your blessings, that’s where the magic is. That’s exactly what Marcos embodies.

Marcos Rossi is an example of human potential, drive, and how we can overcome obstacles. Despite being born with the very rare hand-heart syndrome (a congenital condition that thwarted the development of his arms and legs), he still manages to live a more active and dynamic life than most people do. He is the author of two published books, holds a law degree, works as a top motivational speaker, father of two, devoted husband, drummer, vocalist, scuba diver, DJ, surfer, and works his full-time job as an asset management analyst at a bank in his free time.

So, the question is: what’s impossible for YOU?

Some Questions I Ask:

• Where did you first discover that you had a no-limits mindset? (8:48)
• What do you say to those who feel that they’re never enough? (15:39)
• Describe your childhood and your parents. (27:39)
• Where did you discover that you have a passion for personal development? (30:21)
• Will you share the breakthrough that you experienced at Date with Destiny? (41:30)
• How do you define fulfillment? (49:28)

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

• Why it’s important to love and accept yourself, as you are. (15:51)
• Why you shouldn’t be afraid to ask for help. (21:13)
• How Marcos’ mom pushed him to become independent and conquer his fears. (27:43)
• How intimacy impacts Marcos’ life in both positive and challenging ways. (33:59)
• About Marcos’ morning routine, habits, and rituals. (46:28)
