IMPACT

Today, we're going to be exploring a tool and a mechanism for healing that, for a very long time, was suppressed because of societal messaging. And that tool is psychedelic-assisted healing.

This is an arena that has the opportunity to be flooded with funding and research. For a long time, we as humans have been connected to various forms of plant medicine and various Indigenous groups have made the use of psychedelics an important part of ceremonial healing.

So today, we're going to break down some of the science, some of the legal avenues that people have to be able to explore, leverage, and utilize psychedelics to accentuate and expedite their healing.

Leading us through this conversation today is my friend and colleague, Angela Ward! As a Registered Nurse, Transformational Coach, and "Soul Midwife," Angela helps move people through a healing journey by leveraging psychedelics. She helps facilitate the coming together of the medical side, the spiritual side, and the psychotropic side of psychedelics as a tool for healing.

Though this might be a method of healing you are not interested in trying out for yourself, I invite you to listen to this episode, regardless! I want you to go into this episode with an open mind and think outside the box of how things have always been done.

"When [people] work with a psychedelic, held in a safe container … [they're] able to make new connections or have new understandings of … the root causes of their distress, or, they're able to see things from a different angle." — Angela Ward

"There's something about psychedelics that absolutely does not numb us. … They actually seem to bring us more aware of what's actually happening in the here-and-now. … A lot of times, in our sober-minded state, we can suppress how our bodies are feeling." — Angela Ward

"It's important to remember that psychedelic states and expanded states of consciousness … are part of our ancestral heritage. It's a native practice in many parts of the world. Psychedelic states have been part of us since we've been human." — Angela Ward

"My ideal client is someone that has a practice of some kind of self-inquiry … to look … at their shadow [and] be willing to try things and be curious." — Angela Ward

"People who are birth workers, death workers; people who can hold space, are excellent candidates for this type of work." — Angela Ward

"My purpose is as a soul-midwife. … My business name is Guardian of the Gateway and I feel really honored to have worked professionally in birth, in death, and in psychedelic therapy with people as they're going through this gate of transformation." — Angela Ward

Calling all business owners! Put up your hand if you would describe yourself as "not just a numbers person." My guest today, Danielle Hayden, is a professional bookkeeper and the founder of Kickstart Accounting. And in this episode, we are speaking directly to those who are self-described as "not a numbers person."

And don't worry — we're not getting into the nuances of bookkeeping. We're addressing what you need to know as a business owner with respect to your numbers to sustain, grow, and uplevel your business so that you can have the impact that you want to have in the world.

Even if you're not a numbers person, you still need to look at the data and metrics and understand where they all are. Learning how to outsource the management of these outsources with a bookkeeper is a critical skill.

My challenge for all of you today is to put away that mindset of, "I am not a numbers person," and instead, step into this conversation from a blank slate perspective. This episode is fun, highly informative, and I cannot wait for you to all hear Danielle Hayden's insights!

Key Takeaways:

[1:05] About today's episode with Danielle Hayden!

[2:30] Welcoming Danielle to the podcast!

[3:56] Danielle shares her background and why she thinks everyone should become a numbers person!

[6:18] What is data important? In accounting, what are the key things that we should be looking for as they relate to our business? Where does Danielle recommend getting started with measuring metrics?

[11:35] Why it is your responsibility as a business owner to understand your numbers.

[15:01] What you need to know when you're hiring a bookkeeper.

[18:57] What Danielle looks for when she's hiring on her team.

[19:47] Why bookkeeping is the foundation of your business.

[21:00] What to ask a bookkeeper when you're interviewing to hire.

[24:18] How important is it for the bookkeeper that you hire to have experience in your particular industry?

[26:20] What does Danielle wish her clients knew about hiring their first bookkeeper? What makes the difference between a good client vs. a bad client?

[30:30] Should bookkeepers come into your physical space or can it all be done virtually?

[32:35] Danielle's key performance indicators!

[38:00] Where to learn more about the work that Danielle is doing in the world!

What did you learn in this episode while listening with an open mind? Let us know over on my Instagram @DrMeghanWalker, or, our free Facebook group, The Entrepology Collective!

This is a subject matter I'm incredibly passionate about, and that's purpose! It's the cornerstone of my methodology because we need purpose to serve as our guiding light when things don't seem all that certain or when adversity strikes.

My guest today is Tallia Deljou and finding purpose is something she dedicates her life to and coaches her clients on how to ask smarter questions to really step away from your "work" or "parent" identity and really find what's true and impactful for you.

In this episode, we learn about purpose. How you define it, how you find it, why it's important, and so much more! People often think they've found purpose, but the moment they lose their job, or retire, or their children move out of the home, their purpose seems to crumble.

Tallia offers insight on how to cultivate purpose that's so sustainable that it doesn't matter when you walk away from an identity, you can still live an authentic and meaningful life.

Key Takeaways:

[1:20] About today's episode with Tallia Deljou.

[2:45] Welcoming Tallia to the podcast.

[5:45] How does Tallia define purpose?

[8:20] How do you really live a life of purpose when you have student loans, kids, and adult responsibilities?

[11:10] Is purpose a privilege? Don't get in your own way. Don't let this mindset stop you from striving for purpose.

[14:00] Everyone here has the permission to pursue their purpose.

[15:35] Your roles and identity are constantly changing. That doesn't mean you picked the wrong path.

[17:55] People convince themselves they have to pick. In reality, you can have both.

[18:50] You get to write your own rules.

[19:00] How do we know when we've found our purpose or are just following a path we think society wants for us?

[21:35] List out all the different roles and personas you play in your daily life, whether that be as a spouse, a parent, a daughter/son to your parents, your friends, and more.

[26:55] When you have a purpose, you don't pool everything you have into one identity.

[28:55] When your loved ones give you good advice, you still need to have a filter to see what parts of that information are true or relevant for you and where you are in life.

[31:10] Rapid fire questions! Tallia shares a book that's really impacted her this year.

Two years ago, someone asked me what supplements I take to maintain my health, energy, and edge — and they were surprised that I only took four things consistently.

In my quest for the highest quality ingredients and the easiest system for consistently incorporating supplementation into my routine, I formulated and manufactured my own line of foundational supplements.

CALL TO ACTION

Tallia is all about diving in and finding what's important to you, and how to be so unapologetic about it! If you are looking to strengthen your meaning and purpose in life, then get ready to go beyond the superficial and get into what roles and identities you play in your everyday life. What is your relationship like with yourself? With others? Are you convinced you can't have it all? This is a limiting belief you must break.

This week, we're asking you: What needs to change or be true in your life for you to have the best of both worlds? What are you currently playing small in that makes you not have it all or makes it difficult for you to truly live out your life's purpose? Let us know over on my Instagram @DrMeghanWalker, or, our free Facebook group, The Entrepology Collective!

I'm so excited to have this guest on my show today. He is an amazing performer that takes an in-person event to the next level with his presence and music know-how. I also had the great privilege of interviewing him in person, and that's my friend Sammy Taggett!

Sammy Taggett, also known as Shoebox Moses, is passionate about creating an unforgettable vibe for high-end corporate events and festivals. As a DJ, it's his job to get a feel for the room and make sure everyone in that room is feeling the right kind of emotion, vibration, and energy that organizers need to convey.

In this episode, we learn about Sammy's almost intuitive creative process and how he is able to know what type of music he should play for these big events. He talks about imposter syndrome and how it got worse as he got more popular, and he even takes some time to spill some juicy behind-the-scenes secrets of what really goes on at these big conferences!

Sammy is just jam-packed with musical information and dives into the psychology of what he does. You don't want to miss out on this episode!

Key Takeaways:

[2:10] Welcoming Sammy Taggett to the podcast.

[4:15] Sammy learned rejection really early on in his career and he's become a better entrepreneur for it.

[8:40] Sammy shares how he learned how to become a DJ.

[10:45] Imposter syndrome really affected Sammy when he began playing on big stages.

[14:00] Sammy shares an embarrassing moment that happened in his career.

[16:00] Sammy talks about the vision for himself and the three big pillars that are important to him.

[17:35] When you hang around people who achieve big things, everything else seems dull in comparison. It's contagious and makes you strive for more.

[21:20] How does Sammy create high-vibration experiences for events?

[22:25] People will always remember how you made people feel.

[24:55] Sammy shares some juicy secrets he's discovered while being behind the scenes of some of these big conference events.

The aim of this conversation with Elan today was to demystify the technology side of your business. Understanding how some of these key elements come into play and fit together is fundamental to being able to confidently engage with the right person when you're ready to elevate your business through the online space.

This week, we're asking you: What are you doing to take your business online? What did you learn in this episode that you will be implementing in the future? Let us know over on my Instagram @DrMeghanWalker, or, our free Facebook group, The Entrepology Collective!

Today I am joined by Dr. Angela Cortal! Dr. Cortal is a Naturopathic Doctor from the West Coast with a focus on joint pain and chronic pain mitigation in her practice. She is also the best-selling author of the new book, Younger Joints Today. She is incredibly passionate about reversing degenerative joint disease by addressing the root causes.

Even if you don't experience joint pain or chronic pain, I still highly recommend that you listen up and tune in! Dr. Cortal's message of addressing the root cause of chronic pain rather than covering it up with medication is so, so important.

Our conversation today is really about the things that we can do to improve our capacity to heal post-injury, as well as what we can do to mitigate the chronic pain that we all begin to naturally experience as we age. Dr. Cortal addresses the relationship between our hormones and our increased propensity for injury and increased capacity to feel pain; the choices that we can make every single day (regardless of our age) to mitigate chronic pain as we progress through life; and what we can do to keep our bodies feeling and performing at their best.

This conversation is extremely invaluable for everybody and I highly recommend you tune in!

Key Takeaways:

[1:19] About today's episode.

[3:25] Welcoming Dr. Angela Cortal to the podcast!

[4:00] Dr. Cortal shares her backstory and what led her to become incredibly passionate about chronic pain.

[7:40] How are we still at a place, with the evolution of medicine, where people are experiencing pain? And why are we struggling to find the root cause of their pain?

[9:29] The current divide in the healthcare system.

[10:03] How many of the patients that Dr. Cortal has worked with, would she say, have been given an appropriate protocol to take them from an acute injury to functional?

[12:09] For patients moving out of the acute injury phase, what does Dr. Cortal recommend that they be aware of in this intermediate phase while they're healing?

[14:29] The connection between hormones and chronic pain when it comes to recovery.

[16:02] The risk for injuries in those with hormonal challenges.

[17:50] Long-term diet choices that can be problematic to our joints and chronic pain.

[21:10] Should we be eating collagen? What foods should we be consuming to help build up our joints?

[22:29] The top foods that Dr. Cortal recommends we should all eat.

[23:20] For those who are plant-based eaters, has Dr. Cortal noticed an increased propensity for pain during recovery?

[24:50] Exercises that we should be engaging at 35 years old and older to mitigate chronic pain and increase our ability to recover from acute injury.

[27:28] Dr. Cortal's key performance indicators!

[29:47] Where to learn more about Angela and her work.

[30:15] Thanking Dr. Cortal for joining the podcast!

"[No] two cases of knee pain or hip pain are the same. … My recommendations are going to be different depending on where someone's pain is coming from. So, a really good evaluation is where we begin." — Dr. Angela Cortal

"My purpose is to get people to see that there is another way to reach out … and help those that are feeling stuck … and to see [that] we actually can take the reins of our own health; … we don't have to take on and identify with what other people tell us." — Dr. Angela Cortal

Udo has been speaking about the benefits of healthy oils in one's diet for the better part of the last 30 years. He is literally the founding father of flax oil and has been speaking to how we need to healthily incorporate oils into our diet for most of his career. He is incredibly passionate with respect to educating the public about the difference between good oils vs. bad oils and how we can take responsibility for our own health.

In this episode, not only do we talk all-things oil supplementation in this episode, but we dive into an array of deeply fascinating topics. Udo discusses the greater meaning of life, the evolution of health, what true health really means, and where we have gone astray. This conversation was incredibly meaningful and I'm super excited to give you all the opportunity to hear some of his wisdom in today's conversation!

More About Udo Erasmus

The legendary Udo Erasmus is the co-founder of Udo's Choice line, which can be found in Whole Foods and other health food stores worldwide. Udo designed the machinery for making oils with health in mind and pioneered flax oil, a billion-dollar industry.

However, Udo walked a difficult path to become the man he is today. Being a child of war, Udo's life began with intense struggle. As an adult, he got pesticide poisoning in 1980, leaving doctors at a loss regarding treatment. Deciding to take his health into his own hands, Udo began researching, and his discoveries led him to a passion for finding the answers to life's big questions which would hopefully one day bring him and the world peace.

Today, Udo is an acclaimed speaker and author of many books, including the best-selling Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill, which has sold over 250,000 copies. He teaches at events hosted by Tony Robbins and Deepak Chopra, has keynoted an international brain health conference, and has traveled to over 30 countries to conduct thousands of live presentations, media interviews, and staff training impacting more than 25,000,000 lives with his message on oils, health, peace, nature, and human nature. Udo has an extensive education in biochemistry, genetics, biology, and nutrition, including a master's degree in counseling psychology.

For myself and my patients, there are four basics that support — at a foundational level — nearly every system in our bodies. In my quest for the highest quality ingredients and the easiest system for consistently incorporating supplementation into my routine, I formulated and manufactured my own line of foundational supplements. Trusted for myself and my patients, and under the guidance of your own healthcare provider, I'm excited to invite you to check out our foundational product line: Badass Basics.

More About James Barry

James Barry began his sixteen-plus years in the culinary field as a private chef. His inauguration into restaurant-style cooking came later when he was the vegan/vegetarian chef on the Vans Warped Tour, which traveled to 50 North American cities in 60 days. Upon returning to Los Angeles, James continued to be a private chef and had the fortune of cooking for celebrities such as Tom Cruise, Mariska Hargitay, George Clooney, Gerard Butler, Sean "Puffy" Combs, Barbra Streisand, and John Cusack. Not wanting to limit the audience of his healthy and tasty style of cooking, James started Wholesome2Go, a healthy, high-quality food delivery company that served under his leadership in the Los Angeles area for eight years.

Most recently, James launched my first functional food product, Pluck; an organ-based, all-purpose seasoning. This seasoning is the first of its kind and an amazingly easy and delicious way for people to get organ meats into their diet.

James also co-authored the recipes in Margaret Floyd's book, Eat Naked, and co-authored the follow-up cookbook, The Naked Foods Cookbook. He also recently co-authored the recipes in Dr. Alejandro Junger's book, Clean 7.

Are you going to try organ meat or Eat Pluck? Let us know!

And if you enjoyed the conversation we had today, come hang out with your people over on our free Facebook group, The Entrepology Collective! Let's talk about the intersection of mindset, entrepreneurship, and health.

There are certain things that I've made the decision about a long time ago that I would never talk about online. One of these topics that I said I would never discuss publicly was vaccines. Can you think of a more controversial topic? I've done podcasts on sex, politics, and money — all of which can be fairly taboo — but vaccines take the cake.

But today, we're going to go there.

We're going to not just discuss the current landscape of vaccines, but the idea of informed consent. How do we, as individuals, take radical responsibility for our own health? How do we make an informed decision when we're only hearing one side of the message? This whole conversation is about informing a new way for you to think; it is not about informing what I want you to do.

I hope you'll join me in pulling back the curtain on this entire discussion around vaccines.

Key Takeaways:

[:42] About today's controversial topic.

[2:24] Why the discussion of vaccinations is not black and white, but in fact, grey.

[2:54] Why it is important for us to be able to have nuanced conversations around vaccines.

[4:00] Why I named this episode, "Why I got the jab and also why that's not your business."

[5:40] The current landscape of COVID-19 vaccinations and why I made the decision to get the jab.

[7:54] How we are alienating others in making a different type of informed consent.

[9:13] This conversation is really about: what types of questions could or should you be asking as someone willing and able to take responsibility for their own health?

[10:25] What I've learned as a clinician about the hesitation around getting the vaccine.

[13:11] The 30-thousand-foot view of vaccines.

[14:05] Why we ultimately need to make the best choice for ourselves on an individual level.

[15:40] What the normal vaccine development process looks like vs. the COVID-19 vaccine development process.

[16:36] Why deciding whether or not you're going to get the vaccine is, in fact, a very nuanced perspective when you get to the ground level.

[17:31] This is a situation that requires that we have the opportunity to move forward in our decision-making from a place of informed consent.

[18:32] How to provide informed consent to patients.

[20:09] The information that we are entitled to receive in order to make an informed, consensual decision around our health.

[25:48] The most important pieces we need to clear about when it comes to vaccines.

[26:38] We need to be aware of peer pressure so that we can make autonomous decisions with respect to our health.

[27:22] Why it is imperative that we approach this situation as critical thinkers during this time.

[29:40] Most importantly: we need to stop judging others' decisions.

[30:18] Why I felt it was important to open the door on this conversation.
