Have you ever heard of maple water? I hadn’t until I met this week’s guest.

Nicole Bentler is the founder of Pocono Maple Water and owner of a 450-acre certified organic maple farm in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. What started with a maple farm has grown into a much bigger conversation about hydration, knowing where our food and water come from, sustainable agriculture, and making simple changes that can support our health.

Nicole shares how maple water goes from tree to bottle, why the harvesting season is so short, and the challenges of creating a product that depends heavily on Mother Nature. We also talk about her journey from the fitness and wellness industry into farming and entrepreneurship — and what it looks like to build a business while raising a young son.

One of my favorite takeaways from this conversation is that improving your health doesn’t always require a complete overhaul. Sometimes it’s simply looking at what you consume every day and finding one small change you can make.

And after hearing Nicole describe the farm, the lake, the tours, and yoga on the boathouse, I’m ready to plan a visit myself!

Welcome back to the MY FIT TRIBE Podcast! Today I sit down with Shahayra Majumder, owner of Hydrate IV Bar Madison.

The more conversations I have, the more I realize there isn't just one path to bettering your health. We explore how IV therapy fits into a proactive wellness routine, what people can realistically expect, and why asking questions and exploring your options is an important part of taking control of your health.

We also dive into NAD, vitamin supplementation, peptides, hydration, and some of the newer wellness therapies becoming more accessible right here in Madison. And as we discuss, these aren't replacements for the basics—they're additional tools and options to explore as you advocate for your own wellness.

With Best of Madison coming out this week, the timing of this episode feels especially fitting. One of my favorite parts of MY FIT TRIBE is highlighting local businesses and the people behind them who are bringing new health and wellness options to our community.

This conversation explores the journey of self-discovery through meditation, intuition, and choosing a path that feels truly aligned with who you are. We talk about trusting yourself, recognizing the signs that life puts in front of us, and finding the courage to follow where those breadcrumbs lead. Whether you're just beginning your journey or have been on it for years, I think you'll find something in this conversation that resonates.

Here's my conversation with Ali.

I love sharing the impact people are making in our community, and whether it’s creating a stage for others to share their stories or creating opportunities for young women, Vicki is definitely making an impact.

This week I'm joined by Luke Briggs, owner of Total Life Fitness.

Sometimes the most powerful conversations aren't about the latest trends—they're about returning to the fundamentals. Luke and I discuss nutrition, movement, strength training, and the mindset that helps turn healthy habits into lasting change. Whether you're just starting your journey or need a reminder to refocus on the basics, this episode is full of practical takeaways.

Here's my conversation with Luke.

As we wrap up Season 2 of the MY FIT TRIBE Podcast, I'm taking a moment to reflect on what the first 76 conversations have taught me—not just about health and wellness, but about purpose, possibility, and the power of staying open to life's unexpected opportunities.

In this episode, I share some of the lessons that have impacted me most, the story behind my first keynote speaking opportunity, why I almost didn't continue the podcast, and how one simple idea has become the foundation for both this show and my own journey: life leaves us breadcrumbs.

We don't always receive the entire roadmap. Sometimes we're simply given the next conversation, the next opportunity, or the next step.

As we look ahead to Season 3, I also share what's next for the podcast, how we're creating even more actionable conversations, and my hope that every episode continues to leave you inspired—not just to think differently, but to take the next step toward becoming the person your future self will thank you for.

Thank you for being part of the MY FIT TRIBE community. I hope you'll enjoy this look back on Season 2, enjoy your summer, and join us this fall for Season 3.

Today on the MY Fit Tribe Podcast, I am joined by Heather Corbet, and this conversation felt like divine timing.

In many ways, it brought me full circle to what this show is all about—learning, growing, and exploring the unique gifts we each carry. We talked about those breadcrumbs that appear throughout our lives, offering hope, guidance, and clues to our purpose, our health, and even our struggles.

Heather shares how she helps people connect the dots through her work as a Spiritual Advisor and Brainspotting Consultant, helping them find clarity, healing, and a deeper understanding of themselves.

I am so grateful for this journey and for conversations like this one that remind us to stay curious, trust the process, and remain open to where life is leading us.

 For this episode, I encourage you to watch the video clip so you can see the smiles on the faces of my guests, Jennifer Bicknese and Dr. Shane Krukow. It's clear that God brought them together, and through their shared journey of learning and teaching, they offer powerful insights into how we can live, heal, and thrive through faith and practice.

This conversation is a beautiful reminder that sometimes life truly does come full circle.

Joining me at the mic today is Nathan Brinkman. It felt important to have a conversation about financial health, and what stood out most was how often we could connect health and wealth when it comes to decisions, habits, and long-term strategy. This isn’t just another conversation about the market—we dig into the “why,” so you can take meaningful steps toward the “how.”
