Not Allowed to Die

Mariska thinks Mike Overlie might be our most intelligent guest so far. He helps men to open and up and connect with their feelings by working with them and their dogs at the same time. He has also set up a non-profit to help make this work more accessible to everyone.

Louise Ashby shares how after losing her mother to cancer and her dream of an acting career to a horrific car accident that tore off half of her face and led to traumatic brain injury, she was able to not only endure the 28 surgeries and years of healing work (both physical and emotional) but embrace the new opportunities that came with it. She has dedicated her life to helping women and men who need to heal from any challenge and brings her experience and compassion as tools. Mariska was IMPRESSED and we think you will be too.
