April 29, 2021 Michelle Ribeiro on Mental Toughness
This week, I’m chatting with Michelle Ribeiro, author of Level Up. Michelle’s specialty is mental toughness – a term that’s described in the book as “the capacity to deal effectively with stressors, pressures, and challenges to perform to the best of your abilities—regardless of the circumstances in which you may find yourself.”
In our discussion, we dig into what readers are meant to take from the book, why the time felt right to create this resource, why many of us struggle with our own mental toughness, and more.

April 01, 2021 Mallory Greene on End of Life Planning
This week, I speak with Mallory Greene, co-founder and CEO of Eirene Cremations. We dive into a rarely openly discussed topic: end of life planning.
Why is this something we shy away from discussing like money and sex? Why do we spend so much time and effort talking about anti-aging and prolonging life, but avoid discussing the inevitable and how we want to be memorialized? What kind of systemic issues and barriers exist when it comes to end of life planning? We cover all of this and more in a fascinating conversation.
