This week on Journey to June, I am joined by my friend and trusted advisor, Nathalie Arteel. Nathalie is a passionate entrepreneur who believes organizations that focus on a positive company culture will have a significant competitive advantage in todays’ world. She calls for increasing the moments of emotional connection at work and believes that happiness in relationships, good health and a successful career can all be combined.

Nathalie also believes that success has little to do with your background or luck. The best proof of this is the journey that she has personally followed. In this episode, she shares her journey as an entrepreneur and the challenges she faced in her business. She discusses the importance of reinventing oneself and finding a mission and vision that aligns with the market. Natalie emphasizes the power of gratitude and how it can transform one's mindset and attract positive outcomes. She also highlights the need for authentic and heart-centered appreciation in the workplace, and the impact it can have on employee engagement and overall company culture.

This week on Journey to June, I am joined by my wonderful cousin, Cara Lynch. I have watched as Cara has navigated numerous changes in her life and as she has transformed her life over the past few years. I knew I had to bring her on the podcast to share her story. In this episode, she shares her personal journey of overcoming adversity and finding healing through improving her gut health. After the loss of her mother and struggling with her mental health, Cara realized the importance of taking care of herself and embarked on a path of self-discovery. She found that healing her gut played a crucial role in improving her overall well-being and mental health. Cara also discusses the practice of Ho'oponopono, a Hawaiian mantra of forgiveness and self-acceptance, which has been instrumental in her healing journey. She emphasizes the importance of taking responsibility for one's own happiness and finding peace within oneself. 

This week, I am joined by my wonderful sister-in-law, Tracy Posillico. Tracy is a mom of five and currently living an unconventional lifestyle: her family lives in both the U.S. and Brazil throughout the year. Living in between countries, her kids are being raised to be bilingual, culturally aware, adaptable, and—perhaps most importantly—comfortable with discomfort. It’s not easy to go against the grain, but Tracy and her family are able to take it in stride with the support of the memory of their baby girl Whitney, who passed away from a rare form of pediatric cancer at only a year old. The importance of making a positive impact and being okay with the abnormal are lessons Tracy and I have learned from Whitney, who lived her life full of smiles and continues to touch people’s lives in many ways. The Whit Whit Walk, an annual walk established by Tracy and her family that fundraises for and spreads awareness of pediatric cancer, is one of the ways Whitney has left her mark. Another way is through the pediatric cancer research Tracy is involved in, which is making an astonishing effort to prevent childhood cancer from cutting other lives short. In this episode, we talk about dealing with difficult situations, walking the harder path, and living true to yourself, even if your truth is abnormal.

In this episode, I am joined by my friend Charly Caldwell—a business and online marketing coach—in conversation about vision, introspection, and being yourself. We discuss how Charly has overcome struggles in his life, how having a clear vision of your desires gives them direction, and how self-reflection can take place in a meaningful and productive way. Charly’s coaching work goes beyond straightforward advice on how to break even: he acknowledges how mindset can inhibit or facilitate growth, both in the business world and in one’s personal life. Together we provide an outline for how someone can step into themselves and live their personal truth.

In this episode, I am accompanied by my good friend Larry Gibbs, a financial professional with years of experience in his field. We discuss the importance of intentionality, optimism, sacrifice, and high self-expectations in all aspects of life, including in our careers and at home with our families. Larry speaks on his run-ins with hardship and his take on parenthood, both of which he has approached with his three key pillars in mind: optimism, energy, and curiosity. These pose as guiding principles for how we can better optimize our life by first bettering our mindset.

In this week’s episode, I, alongside integrated nutritional health coach Kathryn Petritis, consider the role of food in supplementing our overall health. As a chef who curates nutritional programs for others, including those who are immunocompromised, Petritis shares her expertise to explore how food can act as medicine. We unpack the necessity of strategy in eating healthier, identify diet as a way of living, and answer an important question: how do I eat healthy when I don't have the time? In our conversation, Petritis provides an approach to healthy eating that emphasizes knowledge, mindset, and intentionality.

This week’s episode continues our conversation with Dr. John Sottery, a scientist dedicated to optimizing human health at a molecular level. We discuss the motivations behind John’s career path, how he stays updated with important new medical research, and how the right health decisions prevent aging from inhibiting life’s fun. While endless medical articles and hidden advertisements are difficult for a layman to apprehend, John’s approach to health education emphasizes accessible language and digestibility—it’s health made easy. In this episode, John reveals how the right health decisions can open new paths that allow us to stay in contact with life even in our later years.

This week on Journey to June, my guest is a dear friend and someone whose work interests and inspires me deeply, Dr. John Sottery. John is a scientist and PhD whose work is focused on understanding and optimizing human health at a molecular level to help people live longer and healthier lives.

It can be hard to navigate the health and wellness industry, especially in a time where there are countless products, supplements, and quick fixes being sold to us online and on social media. John’s work aims to weed through the noise and educate people on the things that actually help them, heal them, and increase their longevity. John has the unique ability to simplify complex topics so that regular people can understand them without needing a deep scientific background. His guidance, expertise, and research has helped me so much over the last few years and I am constantly inspired by the cutting edge work he is doing. 

Check out this episode to learn what influenced John to become a scientist, how he got to where he is today, and what he has learned along the way.

This week on Journey to June, my guest is Todd McLaughlin, co-founder of Native Yoga Center and Palm Beach Thai Massage. Todd has served his community as a yoga teacher and licensed massage therapist for the past 20+ years. He also shares his extensive knowledge in yoga, anatomy, and bodywork through Yoga Teacher Training and Traditional Thai Massage certification courses. 

I met Todd about a year ago at his yoga studio and I immediately felt a connection to him and the community he is building. Todd has not taken a traditional path to get where he is today. From an early age, he found himself interested in learning more about other cultures and other ways of being that weren’t as common in his world. In this episode, he takes on the journey of living and working all over the world, what he learned, how he discovered what he wanted in life, and all how it ultimately led him to open his own yoga and massage practice. 

If you’re curious about the practice of yoga, definitely give this episode a listen. If you’re interested in working with Todd or learning more about his work visit nativeyogacenter.com.

This week, I spoke to the wonderful Rhona Bowles Kamar, who is the executive director of Feed Louisville. What started as a small pandemic exercise, Feed Louisville has now turned into an impressive campaign that has partnered with almost 16 restaurants to provide meals to thousands of people who need them. Though she is a chef by qualification, Rhona now thrives in the work that she does in solidarity with the community (it is not a charity). And I agree. When Rhona talks about what the organization has accomplished in its 3 years, you only see humanity and solidarity. 

I met Rhona in 2017, when she was going through a really difficult time in her life. In this episode, Rhona and I talk about her journey from the woman I met back in 2017, to the woman she is today – a true Soulstigator in every sense of the word.
