Hey guys! Welcome to a new episode of School Your Soul! Boy oh boy are you all in for a treat today. Our guest is Darin Olien!   Darin is an absolute GEM. He is one of those people that carries this beautiful, charismatic, loving energy and it seems like he leads a magical life.   I was connected to Darin through my husband who absolutely loves him so before we even spoke I was a huge fan of all things Darin Olien and his MANY endeavors… To name a few… Darin is the co-host with Zac Efron on the super  popular Netflix show “Down to Earth” and host of the #1 Health & Wellness podcast The Darin Olien Show.  He’s also a highly recognized exotic superfoods hunter, supplement formulator, and author of the New York Times bestselling book, “SuperLife.”  He worked with fitness-company Beachbody to formulate one of the top super food shakes in the US called, “Shakeology.” He is one of the founders of Barukas™, a new super nut from the Savannah of Brazil. (Oh my gosh you guys Barukas are soooo good!) And through sustainable business practices the company is committed to supporting this important biome in Brazil by planting 20 million Baruzeita trees. And early this year he launched a health APP called 121 Tribe created to help people learn about whole food, plant-based eating, habit tracking and exercise.   And most importantly he’s an unbelievably kind human.   In today’s episode we explore:    How his Netflix show “Down to Earth” changed his life The impact of losing everything he owned to wildfires How we can recapitulate our energy The importance of vulnerability How he stays connected to universal consciousness Why “Down to Earth” would have been something totally different if it was up to him and why he’s glad it ended up like it did And much much more    Darin has an infectious enthusiasm for life and he is truly inspiring. I guarantee this guy gets you fired up to make some changes in your life. I know you’re going to love every minute as much as I did.   To learn more about Darin, check out his website and the 121 Tribe program or follow him on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.   SHOW NOTES: www.schoolyoursoulpodcast.com Darinolien.com Barukas 121 tribe- 3 day free trial of Darin’s new health APP 121tribe.com Netflix show “Down to Earth” Carlos Castaneda  Four Agreements Wallace Black Elk Aqua tru - Reverse Osmosis Water Purifier -  $150 off discount code!!!

She really needs no introduction but Kaley, is an actor and producer. In the late 90’s, she landed her breakthrough role as Bridget Hennessy on the sitcom 8 Simple Rules but she is best known for playing Penny for 12 seasons on the mega-hit TV show The Big Bang Theory, which is the longest running sitcom in U.S. history. Since Big Bang ended last year she started her own production company -Yes Norman Productions (named after her beloved dog) and is currently working on various projects including a TV series for HBO Max called the flight attendant and is the voice of Harley Quinn on the animated series. One of the things I’m most inspired by in Kaley is her love and passion for animals. She devotes a huge amount of her time and resources advocating for animal rights, promoting animal adoption and has a whole slew of animals herself. If you’re an animal enthusiast you have to follow her on Instagram.   In today’s show we explore  Life after The Big Bang theory How she has stayed so grounded and “normal” in show business One of her most pivotal moments in life that nearly ended her acting career The value of loyalty Her passion for rescuing animals and being an animal advocate What she believes her true purpose is And much much more  Resources: A Foundation close to Kaley’s heart is The Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation learn how you can help - http://ebmrf.org/ Bid for a “Backstage Pass" Virtual Meet and Greet With The Stars For Charity including Kaley Cuoco! https://ebmrf.rallyup.com/ebmrf Watch  Harley Quinn!
