"The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both." - James A. Michener

Michael is an accomplished director, editor, writer, producer, and passionate advocate for celiac disease awareness. Do you or a loved one suffer from gluten intolerance or celiac? This episode is for you - with tools and tricks to navigate holiday cooking this season!

In this inspiring episode, Michael shares his journey of transforming a health crisis into a powerful mission. He explores how embracing dietary changes and self-advocacy can lead to better health and a renewed sense of purpose. Michael also discusses the creative process behind his work, the importance of community support, and how finding joy in cooking and travel can help those with dietary restrictions thrive. Listen as Michael and Brianna dive into topics like the art of navigating gluten-free living, the blessing of a challenging diagnosis, and the joy of "food that loves you back."

In this episode, you will learn…

• Why self-advocacy is essential for managing health challenges.
• Tips for thriving with dietary restrictions and living gluten-free, including enjoyable cooking and travel strategies.
• How to turn health challenges or diagnoses into unexpected blessings.

In this week's episode, Brianna sits down with Kevin Miller, a human potential explorer and guide. Kevin is a former pro athlete, respected peak performance guide, top-ranking podcast host of "What Drives You," published author, and father of nine who has devoted himself to helping people wake up every day to their authentic, driven, and inspired life. His latest book, "What Drives You," was published in May 2023. After decades of pro cycling, pursing high performance personally and professionally, starting multiple businesses, and raising a big family, Kevin found himself burnt out and lacking what he wanted most: sustained peace and fulfillment. From this, he dedicated himself to studying human potential and what truly fulfills people. Brianna and Kevin discuss insights on personal growth, the impact of loss, and the importance of purpose in life. The discussion delves into the significance of serving others, understanding trauma, and the connection between mental health and purpose. Kevin also emphasizes the role of functional medicine and the necessity of finding one's passion to lead a fulfilling life, and they dive into the dual aspects of health - how one looks versus how one feels. Kevin reflects on his experiences with his father's passing, the influence of his upbringing, and the lessons learned from failure. Kevin and Brianna also highlight influential books, the importance of mentorship, the value of kindness in character development, and motivation, kindness, and personal growth.

In this episode, you will learn…

• How life's challenges can lead to profound personal growth.
• How physical health directly impacts mental health and cognitive function.
• Entrepreneurship often stems from a desire to change one's circumstances, and failure should be embraced as a natural part of growth.

She also discusses her own experience of losing everything and finding her true self in the process. Brianna and Alexis explore the importance of including men in conversations about gender equality, as well as juggling motherhood and career aspirations and the need for mothers to prioritize their own well-being and happiness. They also explore the societal expectations placed on women and the significance of doing inner work to build healthy relationships and partnerships. Throughout this conversation, Brianna and Alexis highlight the need for women to support and uplift each other and the importance of self-love and self-acceptance.

In this episode, you will learn…

• The importance of including men in conversations about gender equality - and allowing them to be part of the solution with respect and empathy.
• How to find a sense of self-worth and fulfillment outside of external achievements.
• How to navigate the challenges of balancing motherhood and career, and using inner work to build healthy relationships.
