SHOCK & Y’ALL

Y’all, this one lit me up. 

Talking with Chris felt like having someone finally hand me the manual for relationships that we all swear should exist, but no one ever gives us. 

He has this wildly grounded way of explaining attachment, self regulation, and emotional safety that makes you stop and go - Oh wait, that’s me. And that’s my ex. And that’s the pattern I swear I’m not repeating anymore.

This episode is honest, eye opening, and surprisingly comforting. 

If you’ve ever wondered why you keep attracting the same type, or why certain dynamics feel so familiar, Chris breaks it all down in a way that just hits. 

I left this conversation feeling clearer, lighter, and honestly a little called out in the best possible way.

Highlights:

(03:12) The four attachment styles

(12:45) Why 60 percent of healthy relationships come from self regulation

(22:18) The first big non negotiable emotional safety and why it matters

(33:02) Why anxious and avoidant types keep finding each other

(45:10) A simple way to tell the difference between intuition and anxiety

(55:41) How secure people rebound faster

Every time Mary comes on the show, something unhinged happens in the best possible way. 

This conversation is equal parts therapy session, comedy hour, and spiritual wake up call. 

Mary showed up with her signature mix of tender truth telling and laugh till you snort humor, and somehow managed to coach me in real time about parenting, grounding myself, and why conscious pauses are basically my new religion.

Her new book, Parenting a Spicy One, is exactly what every overwhelmed parent needs. 

It is honest, compassionate, and wildly practical. 

After this episode, you will never look at your own reactions or your kid's meltdowns the same way again. 

Truly one of my favorites to date.

Highlights:

(01:48) Why this episode went off the rails in the most glorious way

(07:55) What a spicy kid actually is and how to know if you are raising one

(17:42) The conscious pause that keeps you from turning into Mommy Monster

(28:10) My own blow up moment and Mary's guidance on doing a real repair

(42:03) How spicy kids become incredible adults who refuse to be anyone but themselves

(53:27) The ongoing battle of the iPhone request and why curiosity beats control

Y all, this conversation lit me up. 

Dr Ayat Mekki is one of those women who speaks and you instantly feel your whole body soften, straighten up, and lean in. 

She shares so much wisdom on emotional healing, subconscious patterns, and manifesting in a way that feels like someone finally turned the lights on. 

Talking to her reminded me that we all have these old stories running in the background, and the second we see them clearly, things start shifting fast.

We also got into why chaos can feel familiar, why peace can feel almost too quiet, and how we repeat the same relationship patterns until we learn what we are meant to learn. 

I felt seen, called in, and weirdly comforted. I think you will too.

Highlights:

(01:45) Medical doctor to subconscious healer

(06:12) The real meaning of manifestation and why it is not about wishful thinking

(14:40) Clues that childhood wounds might be steering the show

(23:01) When peace feels uncomfortable and why your nervous system reacts that way

(34:10) What generational patterns look like and how healing affects seven future generations

(47:15) The biggest lesson Dr Ayat took away from hosting her retreat

Hey y’all,

This week, I’m talking with Jim Carter III - powerhouse tech founder, AI strategist, and the guy who’s literally building the future. 

Jim has helped everyone from Tony Robbins to Gary V harness AI to grow smarter, faster, and with more freedom. 

In this episode, we strip away the hype and talk about what AI really means for creativity, parenting, education, and everyday life.

Jim shares why it’s not about replacing humans but freeing us to do more of what actually matters. He even lets us peek inside his “digital clone” - a fully trained AI version of his brain. 

This one’s both mind-blowing and strangely comforting.

Highlights:

(03:15) – What AI really is (and how long it’s been shaping our daily lives)

(08:30) – Why we shouldn’t fear AI, but learn to use it as a thinking partner

(14:00) – How AI can help with real-world decisions, from work to parenting

(22:50) – Teaching kids to use ChatGPT without losing their critical thinking skills

(33:30) – The rise of digital clones and how they’re changing personal brands

(46:10) – Jim’s advice on freedom, wealth, and wisdom in the AI age

Hey Y’all. 

Today I’m chatting with my friend and total movement badass, Cecily Milne - the woman behind Yoga Detour. 

Cecily’s the kind of teacher who makes you question everything you thought you knew about yoga and movement in the best way possible. 

We get into why mediocrity has become mainstream, what chasing validation can do to us, and how becoming a mum flipped everything she thought she knew about her body and business.

It’s raw, funny, real, and full of those “oh wow, same” moments.

Highlights: 

(05:31) Mediocrity is mainstream - and why that’s a problem

(18:42) How ballet and validation shaped Cecily’s yoga journey

(32:08) Getting injured, unlearning yoga, and finding strength again

(45:24) Motherhood, burnout, and rediscovering purpose in movement

(52:51) Building Yoga Detour and redefining what teaching looks like

(59:00) Why real progress comes from repetition, not novelty

Okay y’all, this one’s a good one. 

I’m chatting with Dr Dan Pardi about something that sounds a little sciencey but trust me, you’re going to get it - NAD+.

You’re going to walk away from this one feeling smarter, inspired, and ready to take better care of your body.

Highlights:

(05:15) What NAD+ actually is (and why it matters)

(16:42) The battery and taxi analogy you’ll never forget

(27:08) How exercise literally boosts your cellular energy

(38:47) Why we need more “health philosophers” in the world

(49:23) The truth about NAD supplements and real results

(56:09) Dr Dan’s take on freedom, time, and happiness

Okay y’all, today’s episode is a good one. 

I’ve got Stephanie Crassweller here to talk all things menopause and metabolism - and she makes it so simple you’ll wonder why nobody explained it like this before. 

We’re getting into how your body decides what’s stressful, why fat loss isn’t just calories in and out, and the very happy news that carbs are officially back on the cool list. 

This is one of those conversations that’s packed with info but still totally doable, and I know you’re going to walk away feeling a whole lot clearer about what’s actually going on in your body.

Highlights:

(05:07) Your body decides what counts as stress

(12:39) Why “eat less, move more” doesn’t always work

(18:24) One bad night of sleep = insulin chaos

(26:00) Carbs are officially back on the cool list

(34:43) Muscle loss sneaks in before menopause hits

(46:20) Menopause isn’t to blame, it exposes everything
