What if the thing that is ruining your season, or your sanity, isn’t failure, but false expectations?



What can college football teach us about emotional alignment and managing expectations? It might sound unrelated at first, but growing up in a Notre Dame-loving family and later going to Ohio State gave me a front-row seat to the way pressure, identity, and self-belief collide. And after watching my own son play, I’ve seen how every game mirrors the emotional lessons we face off the field.

In this episode, we’ll look at what happens when expectations don’t match reality, how even winning can lead to loss, and why being honest about who you are is the key to growth. From Penn State’s coaching changes to moments in my own business where I had to face misalignment, this episode explores the uncomfortable truth behind striving, stumbling, and starting again. Sometimes managing expectations isn’t about lowering the bar, it’s about finally seeing yourself clearly.

What if functional medicine is just another kind of greenwashed medicine, still missing the real root cause?



Supplements and stricter health routines don’t always bring us closer to true healing. After decades in microbiology and functional medicine, I’ve watched the field drift toward complexity and noise, often replacing pills with powders, not purpose. A recent conversation with a longtime friend confirmed what I’d been intuitively feeling for years: even our so-called “holistic” approaches can keep us sick.

More testing, stricter diets, and endless “shoulds” can disconnect us from our own intuition. The good news is, there is something that drives lasting change. Because sometimes the best “treatment” isn’t another supplement at all. Your body already knows what it needs, you just have to listen.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[03:47] Why functional and integrative medicine can unintentionally harm more than help

[06:12] What happens when health advice turns into noise and “shoulds” that disconnect you from your body

[09:34] How one practitioner’s trip to Europe shattered my ideas of what “healthy” really means

[12:56] The surprising reason some “unhealthy” people still thrive while the wellness-obsessed don’t

[15:43] Why no single diet or protocol can work for everyone, and what to do instead

[18:27] How genetic and biochemical individuality change what balance looks like for you

[19:55] The real foundation of healing hidden beneath supplements and lab results

[21:42] When functional medicine truly shines, and when it crosses into overcomplication

[22:58] Why honoring your own intuition is the most powerful medicine you have

What if the things that frustrate you most are actually guiding you where you’re meant to go?



In this episode, I open up about the unexpected lessons that came from leaving Boulder and moving to Colorado Springs, how what felt like resistance at first became one of the most transformative periods of my life. It started with a single decision made during the pandemic and led to a deeper understanding of purpose, community, and what it really means to live in alignment with your values.

Every uncomfortable encounter, every judgment, and every lonely moment became a message I almost missed. There’s a pattern in the chaos, a trail of breadcrumbs that leads you back to yourself. Sometimes the signs are subtle. The question is whether you’re awake enough to see them.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[02:43] Why one unexpected move during the pandemic became a spiritual wake-up call

[06:58] How a simple parenting choice revealed a deeper message about alignment and values

[09:42] What happens when your surroundings mirror the beliefs you’ve outgrown

[12:31] The moment judgment turned into connection

[16:08] How learning to see beyond religion opened space for empathy and authentic community

[18:42] The real reason resistance often signals a lesson in disguise

[21:06] Why collective chaos can reveal personal purpose when viewed through a divine lens

[24:17] How to tell when triggers are actually invitations to self-leadership

[27:35] What it means to follow your own breadcrumbs toward a more conscious, intentional life

That person isn’t copying you. They’re showing you something you haven’t owned yet.

In this episode, I delve into the distinction between shadow projection and mirror reflection, and why it matters for anyone who aspires to lead, heal, or simply act with greater integrity. We unpack the subtle ways projection hides in plain sight, how it sneaks into your reactions, and why it’s often rooted in the parts of yourself you’ve pushed away.

This isn’t about blaming or fixing. It’s about awareness, learning to recognize when your judgments are really mirrors, when your triggers are teachers, and when it’s time to take back your power from what you’ve projected. Sometimes the hardest work isn’t seeing others clearly, but seeing yourself without distortion. Once you start catching your own projections, everything changes, especially your peace.

You'll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[01:48] What shadow projection really means and how it hides behind judgment

[05:36] Why emotionally “informed” people often project the most without realizing it

[07:12] The real reason others trigger you, and what it reveals about your inner work

[09:45] How mirror reflection helps you see your strengths and wounds more clearly

[11:33] The subtle ways wanting validation or being “seen” can expose hidden shadows

[13:02] What feeling “not enough” actually signals about self-worth and authenticity

[15:21] Why overpraising others can be just as revealing as criticism

[18:47] The difference between constructive feedback and projection in disguise

[21:40] How to spot, own, and integrate your projections so you stop giving away your peace

What if fixing the world starts with how we lead ourselves today?

In this episode, I call out the heaviness that’s crept into everyday life and how division keeps us small. Personal responsibility becomes the antidote, not the burden. The six areas of self-leadership hold the blueprint for real change. “As within, so without” isn’t just a saying; it’s the standard. When we protect our energy, choose decency, and do the inner work, the world outside starts to shift. This is where leadership begins, one person, one choice, one act of integrity at a time.

You’ll Learn:

• Self-Responsibility and Heart-Led Leadership
• The real reason division feels so heavy right now and how it feeds disconnection
• What happens when personal leadership becomes the foundation for healing the world
• The six areas that reveal how aligned you are with your values and your life
• What it feels like to live from “as within, so without” and watch your outer world shift
• The practical ways to bring respect, grace, and awareness back into everyday life
• How bridging the spiritual and the practical creates real, sustainable change

Why do some moments feel too perfectly timed to be a coincidence?

This episode is all about how synchronicities show up when I’m grounded and tuned in, and how easily they disappear when I’m stressed and disconnected.

What if the biggest mistake you make after a retreat has nothing to do with what happened there, and everything to do with what you do next?

In this episode, the “afterglow” takes center stage. I’m talking about the high that hits after retreats and masterminds you’ve never felt more aligned, connected, and clear. It’s the moment that tricks you into saying yes too fast and partnering with the wrong people. I’ve lived it, lost time and energy to it, and learned how to spot it. Journaling, space, and time reveal who’s real and who’s not. You’ll see why waiting a few weeks before committing can save you from regret, and how to tell when a friendship is for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.

You’ll Learn:

• The reason jumping into partnerships during the “afterglow” often leads to regret
• What happens when excitement masks real alignment 
• The link between journaling and making grounded decisions afterward
• The damage of ignoring red flags in how people treat staff, peers, or deadlines
• What it feels like when your nervous system can’t match the high-energy vibe of a retreat
• Why giving relationships weeks to unfold reveals who’s authentic and who’s wearing a mask
• The reality that friendships and partnerships can be for a reason, a season, or a lifetime

What if your nerves were never the problem, but the secret weapon?

In this episode, I share how that small twinge of nervousness can be turned into strength. Wearing colors that feel powerful becomes more than style, it’s a signal, and stepping into red marked the moment I reclaimed my voice. The victory pose isn’t just a stance, it’s a way to anchor yourself to proud memories that change your whole physiology. And then there’s visualize, breathe, and feel, a simple practice for training the nervous system to settle into calm confidence before big moments.

You’ll Learn:



• The reason even confident mentors still feel nervous behind the scenes
• What happens when you reframe nerves as an edge instead of a weakness
• The link between wearing your favorite color and feeling powerful
• The impact of victory pose on body chemistry and confidence
• What it feels like to anchor a posture to proud personal memories
• How visualization with all five senses primes the nervous system for calm confidence
• The role of longer exhales in regulating fear and stress
• Why anchoring confidence to a color strengthens the effect of visualization

What if the thing holding you back isn’t a lack of effort, but the fact that you’re pushing too hard?



In this episode, I break down the cycle I call purging and surging and how it traps so many people. A coach once told me to stop pushing, and that single moment flipped everything I thought I knew about progress. Surrender shifted my energy, my business, and my life in ways I couldn’t have forced if I tried. You’ll hear how this same pattern shows up in my clients through rumination, overwhelm, and self-doubt, and why it always ties back to trust. I also share simple practices to move out of force and into flow, so life can finally start working with you instead of against you.

You’ll Learn:

• What purging and surging really means and why this cycle becomes a slippery slope
• How it shows up through rumination, analysis paralysis, and confirmation bias
• The symptoms it creates, from anxiety and stress to overwhelm, low-vibration feelings, obstacles, and lack of trust in yourself and the world
• What shifts when you stop forcing outcomes and allow yourself to just be
• How awareness, trust, synchronicity, and openness to new ideas create more calm, peace, gratitude, and authenticity
• Simple methods to move from pushing to surrendering, including checking your alignment, exploring the roots of beliefs and coping patterns, and nervous system retraining when needed
• A powerful practice of asking for divine help and why you’ll get tested by your choices and thoughts along the way
