Hi friends! This is a conversation I never thought we’d have publicly, but I’m so glad we did.

Today I’m sitting down with one of my best friends, Bari Kellam, to talk about something we’ve never shared before. Bari opens up about her experience with an eating disorder, how it began with diet pills, what it looked like at its worst, and the moment everything changed.

We get into the turning point. The friend who said something. The impact that had. And what it really takes to rebuild your relationship with food, your body, and yourself.

Bari shares how she healed, what recovery actually looks like beyond the surface, and how that journey led her to become a Health Coach and founder of Baked Better By Bari, her thriving baking business focused on whole, organic ingredients.

We also talk about what to do if someone you love is struggling. What helps. What doesn’t. And how to show up in a way that actually makes a difference.

And we get into something every parent is navigating: how to talk about food, body image, and health with kids. Bari shares how she’s created a positive, healthy environment not just for herself, but for her children too.

This episode is honest, eye-opening, and full of perspective you don’t usually hear.

After taking some time away from the microphone following the loss of my dad, I knew that returning to the podcast had to begin with an honest conversation about grief.

In this episode, I sit down with someone I deeply admire, Melissa Hudson. Melissa is a mom of three and a woman who has experienced every parent’s worst nightmare. She lost her middle child, Harrison, when he was just five months old. Melissa first approached me about doing an episode on grief when I started the podcast, and at the time I wasn’t ready. Now I realize there is no better moment than now.

Melissa is funny, vibrant, and full of life. Just like my experience losing my dad, this conversation is not only about sadness. We talk about the reality of grief, how it changes you, and how life somehow continues to move forward. And because it’s Melissa and me, there are moments of laughter too, including the kind you might feel a little guilty about but that somehow helps people survive the hardest things.

Melissa shares Harrison’s story, what grief has looked like in the years since his loss, and how she continues to carry him with her while raising her family.

I hope this episode is helpful to you now, or maybe someday in the future when you find yourself meeting grief again, or for the very first time. You may not listen to it today, and that’s okay. But I hope you keep it in your pocket and know it’s here when you need it, and that you’re not alone.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Justin Paperny to discuss his former life as a stockbroker, the series of decisions that led to a federal investigation, and the moment everything changed.

Justin shares the emotional weight of being under investigation, the anxiety of waiting for sentencing, and what it was like to surrender and report to federal prison. He offers a candid account of daily life inside, including the realities most people never consider (yes, we talk about the bathrooms and showers),  and the profound impact incarceration had on his family, friendships, and sense of identity.

Most importantly, we explore the mindset shift that began while he was still incarcerated and how full accountability became the foundation for rebuilding his life. Today, alongside his partner Michael Santos, he leads White Collar Advice, where they guide individuals facing federal prison on how to prepare for, navigate, and grow through the experience before, during, and after incarceration.

Justin is open, direct, and deeply accountable throughout this interview. His story is not simply about prison. It is about ownership, resilience, and lasting transformation.
