Transformative coach, mediator, creative consultant, and first time author of Carry Me: Stories of Pregnancy Loss, Frieda Hoffman joins Chelsea 10 minutes in to normalize the dialogue around death and desire and open up about the emotional seesaw of infertility and pregnancy loss, cycling between hope and disappointment, an all encompassing love and then estrangement, and learning to chart one’s own path with a fiery feminist spirit in the midst of surrendering to the vulnerable space of partnership, the mystery of one’s body, and the lurking sense that maybe this isn’t meant for me.

We talk about struggling with depression and suicidal ideations as a teenager, turning dark energy into a big energetic ball of human and creative potential, debunking the myth of needing to be fully healed to be worthy of a fulfilling and freeing partnership, and the beauty and bravery of gifting ourselves the possibility of love and more connection especially when we’re not a finished masterpiece.

International Mentor, Consultant, Depth Therapist, Writer, & the Founder of Promethean Men's Groups, an epicenter of continual development for men to rise out of confusion and Live Their Own Myth, Jordan Seth Kozey, joins Chelsea 14:00 minutes in for a poignant and mutually confronting conversation on the formidable experience of crying, of honoring one's life by not holding on to grief in total defeat, removing the obstacles of love and learning to bathe in the blessing of being loved, saying yes to the pain and no sooner and more efficiently in dating, the exhausting leak of compassion fatigue, over-identifying with roles, overextending ourselves with care and the frantic need to be somebody, and surrendering to the flow of life as well as the earnest and urgent voice that yearns to step away from doing it all in order to be a beautiful nobody for awhile.

Three-time guest Paul Ronto (ep. 172 & 191) joins Chelsea 12:15 minutes in to talk about the journey toward his most daring and earnest adventure yet, starting his company Type3Life, a facilitated curriculum designed to teach men to live a Type3Life through wilderness adventure trips targeting motivation, self-growth, leadership skills, confidence, community, and a way to get past what’s holding them back. 

With radical introspection and his classic dose of charisma and candor, Paul dives heart first into how he confronted the darkness and division within through couples therapy and a life altering diagnosis of Traumatic Brain Injury, freed himself from the ethereal feeling of not yet arriving with the help of the Paterson Center's 2 day intensive LifePlan, and pivoted 180 degrees within a year starting with outsourcing the overwhelm and the motto Just Say No. The short of it is, there’s no such thing as hoping to get better. You have to actively go do something to treat yourself and trust the people around you to help you—all of which requires talking about what’s troubling you.

We talk about All Of It. Following your passions is all about timing (15:00). Learning to be resourceful dumpster diving and living on $100/week (17:00—23:00). Dating with financial insecurity (28:45).  Marrying, spreadsheets, and budgeting every cent. Wealth, not measured by millions, but by free time. Intentional dating can be valuable without being expensive (31:00). To wear a ring or not to wear a ring (43:30). Therapy, treatment, and transcendence. CTE, TBI, and Lexapro (40:00—1:01:00). Breaking down men’s mental barriers. First comes the physical challenge, then comes the bonding. The beer after the mountain bike ride. The car ride home after a hard day skiing. When you’re happy where you are, giving yourself permission to coast. Letting the air out. Real winners celebrate small wins. Fun, freedom, and fearing less. Revamping your inner dialogue. The limiting beliefs within suicidal thoughts (1:07:00). Dropping the bright light to let the human side rush in. The relief in being relatable. When someone asks how you are, tell them (1:09:00). Tricking wives into believing you're never not winning (1:17:30). The journey is the goal (1:36:00). What it means to Breakupward (1:43:00) and live a Type3Life of fun (1:45:00).

When Laura Whitfield was fourteen, her extraordinary brother, Lawrence, was killed in a mountain climbing accident. That night she had an epiphany: Life is short. Dream big, even if it means taking risks. So, after graduating from high school, she set out on her own, prepared to do just that.

Laura's stirring memoir, Untethered: Faith, Failure, and Finding Solid Ground, is about a young woman’s seeking nature and the quest to fill the void left by her brother’s death through complicated relationships, the demanding nature of New York City,  the chance to become a cover girl, returning to college, and more. Untethered is Laura’s story of overcoming shame, embracing faith, and learning that taking risks—and failing—can lead to a bigger life than you've ever dared to imagine.

Topics discussed within this episode: the self-sabotaging nature of self-criticism, the failure to launch, healing from comparison and perfectionism, extending yourself forgiveness and grace, disordered eating, being the other woman, nourishing the mind through self-care, the writer's life, learning to accept the skin you're in, the adventure of building a resume and coming both back to yourself and into yourself, and creating a life worth telling.

British-born empath, fear buster, and internationally acclaimed life advisor Suzannah Galland joins Chelsea 7:00 minutes in to talk about counteracting fear and tapping into your inner knowing and divine intelligence in moments when you feel deprived of certainty and connection. She shares insight on having the courage to opt out, why rejection leaves us helpless and recovery is so brutal, and offers post-heartbreak guidance in cultivating faith that something greater is coming versus self-criticism that something is wrong with us.

A world-renowned authority in self-mastery, Peter Sage is a 6X TEDx Speaker, international & serial entrepreneur, philosopher, teacher, and best-selling author. His most recent book, The Inside Track: An Inspirational Guide to Conquering Adversity, is the collection of 11 private letters that Peter sent to his elite coaching groups throughout his 6-month sentence in the most violent prison in the UK as the only non-criminal prisoner. Instead of playing the victim, he chose to identify as a ‘secret agent of change' and went from mentoring frustrated billionaires to transforming the lives of his prison inmates.

"You couldn't make that up," Peter explains, "which is why I knew it had to be engineered at a higher level of intelligence." Joining Chelsea 17:30 minutes in, Peter talks about disarming the narcissist and being the star of your own movie, life being a growth-centric experience not a comfort-centric experience, the day we finally decide to be okay with not being liked, how the language we put on heartbreak is a part of the issue most of the time, when you lower the importance, solutions present themselves, the experience of having no living parents and for the first time identifying as alone, the cathartic release of grief, and never being an unpaid extra in someone's film ever again. Plus, so many more gems.

“The day I ran away was the scariest day of my life but I did it,” says Dr. Heidi Brocke, a Toxic Relationship Awareness & Healing Specialist. After spending 14 years in an emotionally and narcissistically abusive marriage, Dr. Heidi did the impossible and fled her prison of toxicity. (Spoiler: it only feels impossible but, as Dr. Heidi will show you, it is possible to leave). 

Joining Chelsea 5:30 minutes in, Dr. Heidi opens up about starting over in a whole new city and in a whole new marriage, a rebirth that wouldn’t liberate her overnight but which would eventually lead her to owning her story and starting a coaching practice that helps educate and empower anyone interested in healing or recovering from a toxic relationship. 

Topics discussed within:

— the most heartbreaking decision of her life: being separated from her children for 5 years, after fleeing her toxic husband
— why understanding a toxic person’s motivations gives you your power back
— the 4 reasons a toxic personality wants you in your life
— how toxic personalities trap you early on 
— toxic identity theft
— making yourself a priority and discovering who you are when a toxic partner isn’t telling you who to be

And, so much more.

Jenna Parkany, the Founder and CEO of JC Creative Media, a remote digital marketing business primarily focused on helping business owners find their "digital voice” and tell their story, opens up about losing her brother in a tragic fire and then losing her "dream" job during the pandemic.

We dive into the heartbreak of discovering your dream job isn’t a dream after all, the internal conflict of not being able to present as who you truly are at work, overcoming the crippling effect of imposture syndrome, the sequential order being put to a halt during COVID, using job loss as an opportunity to discover what it is you 100% want to do (people pleasing not included), empathizing with an ex even when your paths split into differing directions, continuing to cultivate connection with a lost one, the heartbreaking tension of knowing they aren't here but feeling them here nonetheless, and why tiptoeing around grief hurts more than it helps.

Tony Blankenship, the author of Self-Help Sucks: The Anti Self-Help Guide to Inner Peace and Contentment, joins Chelsea to shed light on the ways in which anger is fear, how the endless quest to get this, do this, and be that is inevitably a heartbreaking chase to close the gap between where I am and where I believe I need to be, prioritizing equanimity and contentment, the desire to fall out of love with one’s exhausting ego, freedom is not being a slave to your demands, and why the spirituality of the 12-steps is possible for anyone.
