  • 60. Creating Your Financial Freedom with David Chudyk
    This week on the podcast, we will be talking about money—specifically financial freedom and what money can do for you. Financial freedom is the ability to not worry about money in your life. Each person or family has their own needs, therefore, their idea of financial freedoms. Defining your freedom helps you know what you need to cut out or how you need to grow. So stay tuned to hear how this week.

  • 59. Mindset of Yoga with Ahlia Biondi
    Yoga goes beyond just gentle stretching or sweating in a hot yoga class. It is a mindset of inner peace and healing. Stress can cause significant mental, emotional and physical problems. When stress manifests as a physical this is where having a calming mindset can be a huge benefit.

    Ahlia is a lover of life. She exudes joyfulness and compassion and loves authentic connection. Previously a World Ranked Professional Tandem Surfer, Ahlia 5th in the world in 2015. Ahlia (pronounced like the flower Dahlia) enjoyed taking her practice off of the mat and onto the waves competing locally and globally as well as tandem surfed for fun during the off season.
    Her champion qualities include the ability to maintain focused concentration, discipline, visualization and breath work, as well as keeping a mentality of competition with herself coupled with encouraging and supporting the other teams and individuals.
    Ahlia has traveled the world to both teach and study yoga, and has had life-enriching adventures teaching in Costa Rica, Hawaii, Israel, Bali and the Caribbean, as well as domestically from Minnesota to California, and other amazing locations in between. Ahlia believes in uplifting her students with inspirational quotes and concepts that increase your vibration on a physical and energetic level. 

    

    Ahlia is sought after for her 200-Hour Yoga Alliance Accredited Teacher Training, her unique and inspiring workshops for both teachers and students, local and global yoga retreats, motivational speaking, fundraising events, and private classes. Ahlia’s newest project is a yogi life training, similar to what you learn in yoga teacher training - but without learning to teach classes. This project is inspirational to Ahlia because so many individuals want to deepen their practice and learn more about yoga, but don’t necessarily want to be a teacher. This training is perfect for those who love movement, self-study, and are on the continued path of personal evolution and growth.
    If Ahlia knows one thing about teaching yoga it’s that there is always room for growth. Welcoming feedback and mindfully growing towards personal and professional evolution is Ahlia’s commitment and she is grateful for every opportunity to positively impact other people’s lives.

She took care of people living with diabetes and other chronic conditions and noticed that they were on multiple medications. Their medication lists kept getting longer each time they saw their doctor. Some medications were given to treat side effects caused by other medications.

  • 52. Trans Athletes Access to Sport Medicine with Em Munson
    This week we explore trans athlete's access to sports medicine. When athletes do now effectively communicate with their sports medicine team, they can put themselves in danger. They may avoid their trainer because of fear of being targeted. Let's listen to Em walk us through what their research found.

    Em is a certified/licensed athletic trainer, currently working at Lake Erie College in Ohio. They also research and educate on LGBTQ+, particularly trans, inclusion in sports medicine. Their first study, “Transgender Athletes' Experiences With Health Care in the Athletic Training Setting”, was published in the Journal of Athletic Training in December 2020. Being a non-binary/trans AT and a former college athlete themself, Em hopes to use their own voice and platform to create structural change and give other trans/non-binary athletes and younger clinicians the resources Em wishes they would have had.
