Mind Over Habit

What happens when life doesn't go according to plan?

In this episode of the Mind Over Habit Podcast, Moses sits down with author, speaker, TEDx speaker, and creator of the Finding Grace Through Grief series, Michaela Cox.

Michaela's life has been shaped by what she calls her "38DDD Journey"—living with a lifelong disability through legal blindness, navigating divorce at age 26, and losing her beloved husband at age 38, becoming a military widow and solo mother.

Rather than allowing those experiences to define her future, Michaela discovered principles that helped her move from simply surviving life's hardships to truly thriving.

Together, they discuss grief, resilience, faith, purpose, personal growth, overcoming adversity, motherhood, healing, mindset, and how people can rebuild their lives after unexpected loss.

This conversation offers hope, practical wisdom, and encouragement for anyone facing challenges, transitions, grief, or uncertainty.

What if the reason you keep struggling with your habits isn't that you're lazy, undisciplined, or incapable—but that you've been trying to use strategies that were never designed for the way your brain works?

In this episode of the Mind Over Habit Podcast, Moses sits down with Kathryn Riordan, a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach and founder of For The Sensitive, where she helps neurodivergent women navigate executive dysfunction, burnout, time blindness, food struggles, and chronic health challenges.

Kathryn brings a different perspective to personal growth: instead of forcing ourselves into rigid routines, what if we learned to understand our brains, bodies, sensory needs, and nervous systems and built our habits around them?

Together, they explore discipline, burnout, motivation, self-trust, nervous system regulation, sensory overwhelm, sustainable wellness, and why sometimes the answer isn't trying harder—but trying differently.

What if some of the biggest influences on your health aren't the things you're worried about—but the things you've stopped questioning?

In this episode of the Mind Over Habit Podcast, Moses sits down with inventor, entrepreneur, author, philosopher, and health coach Norbert Heuser.

After a life-threatening health crisis transformed the course of his life more than four decades ago, Norbert embarked on a lifelong journey exploring addiction, health, food intolerances, sleep, technology dependence, and human behavior.

This conversation dives into the psychology of addiction, the hidden habits people normalize, the relationship between awareness and transformation, and why some of the things we consume every day may deserve a second look.

Whether you agree with all of Norbert's conclusions or not, this episode challenges listeners to think more critically about their habits and the choices shaping their wellbeing.

What if better health doesn't begin with a drastic transformation, but with the small choices we repeat every day?

In this episode of the Mind Over Habit Podcast, Moses sits down with Anthony from MacroLife Naturals to explore the relationship between nutrition, habits, metabolic health, and personal freedom.

From starting MacroLife Naturals in 1998 to navigating decades of change in the wellness industry, Anthony shares what he's learned about creating sustainable health habits, why nutritional gaps matter, and why meaningful transformation rarely comes from quick fixes.

The conversation also explores how our everyday choices influence energy, discipline, longevity, and the freedom to live the life we want.

What does it really mean to live a life of freedom, peace, and joy?

In this inspiring episode of the Mind Over Habit Podcast, Moses sits down with Kimberly Braun—TEDx speaker, former monastic nun, meditation teacher, theologian, and author of Miracles in the Naked Light.

Drawing from her extraordinary journey of spending more than a decade in monastic life and building a $9 million monastery with little experience or resources, Kimberly shares profound insights on self-discovery, manifestation, courage, self-care, and learning to say "yes" to life.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, uncertain about your future, or disconnected from your purpose, this conversation offers practical wisdom for navigating life's challenges with greater peace, clarity, and confidence.

What makes people start something with excitement, only to abandon it halfway?

In this episode of the Mind Over Habit Podcast, Moses sits down with Mykyta Chernenko, co-founder and Head of Engineering at AIWriteBook, engineer, entrepreneur, and author.

With more than 14,000 people having started books through AIWriteBook and around 4,500 reaching finished manuscripts, Mykyta has gained a unique perspective on procrastination, consistency, creativity, and the psychology of finishing meaningful work.

The conversation goes beyond AI and writing. Together, Moses and Mykyta explore why people struggle to finish what they start, how technology can support rather than replace human creativity, the tension between convenience and discipline, and what building a global AI company with a small team can teach us about habits, focus, and execution.

What if the life you want is only one courageous decision away?

In this episode of the Mind Over Habit Podcast, Moses sits down with Lauren Fay—award-winning author, keynote speaker, self-leadership coach, and founder of the Choose Your Miracle movement.

Lauren's journey began as a high-achieving athlete and fitness professional who appeared successful on the outside while privately struggling with alcohol, self-doubt, and a growing disconnect from the life she truly wanted. In 2018, she made a life-changing decision to become alcohol-free, a choice that became the catalyst for a much deeper transformation.

Today, Lauren helps individuals build self-trust, navigate identity shifts, overcome internal conflict, and create lasting change from the inside out.

Together, they explore self-leadership, emotional resilience, personal transformation, confidence, identity, decision-making, sobriety, self-worth, and what it really takes to create a meaningful life.

Whether you're navigating a major life transition, pursuing personal growth, overcoming unhealthy habits, or seeking the courage to make an important change, this conversation offers practical wisdom and powerful encouragement.

What if addressing climate change could also create jobs, strengthen communities, and improve economic opportunities?

In this episode of the Mind Over Habit Podcast, Moses sits down with Christian Komor, psychologist, author, former White House Earth Systems Science Advisor, and 2026 Colorado gubernatorial candidate.

For decades, Christian has studied environmental systems, economic development, public policy, and the challenges communities face as they adapt to a changing world. His work focuses on the relationship between climate change, job creation, energy innovation, and long-term economic resilience.

In this conversation, Christian shares his perspective on climate change, carbon removal technologies, economic transformation, workforce development, leadership, public service, and the future of sustainable communities.

Together, they explore how environmental challenges impact everyday life, the opportunities emerging from climate innovation, and what individuals, businesses, and governments can do to prepare for the future.

Whether you're interested in climate change, leadership, public policy, entrepreneurship, innovation, or the future of work, this episode offers a thoughtful discussion about one of the most significant challenges and opportunities of our time.

What happens when life delivers the kind of loss no parent ever expects to face?

In this episode of the Mind Over Habit Podcast, Moses sits down with Mark Stackpole, a father whose life was forever changed when his 22-year-old daughter, Corinne, lost her battle with leukemia after an eleven-month fight filled with courage, hope, and resilience.

During her illness, Mark and his wife spent months traveling hundreds of miles to support their daughter through treatments, hospital stays, procedures, and ultimately a bone marrow transplant. Through every challenge, Corinne fought with remarkable strength while her family stood beside her every step of the way.

Yet this conversation is not simply about loss.

It is about love, gratitude, resilience, family, marriage, legacy, and the difficult journey of finding meaning after heartbreak. Mark shares how his family has chosen not to be defined by grief but transformed by it, honoring Corinne's life rather than focusing solely on her death.

Together, they explore grief, healing, parenting, marriage under pressure, resilience, gratitude, supporting grieving families, and what it means to continue living while carrying the memory of someone you deeply love.

Whether you've experienced loss personally or want to better support someone who has, this conversation offers wisdom, compassion, and hope.

What if the answers you've been searching for already exist within you?
