I’m super honored and grateful to have connected with today’s brilliant guest, Danny Morel. Danny is a life coach and spiritual leader who has helped millions of people awaken, heal, and transform their lives.

His podcast, The Higher Self with Danny Morel, became the number one spirituality podcast within six months – how amazing is that? His event, Awaken Your Highest Self, is quickly becoming the go-to for spiritual awakening. You might even see me there this summer!

In this episode, Danny gets really open and vulnerable sharing his journey from rock bottom to spiritual awakening. He talks about his childhood and the challenges that come with living in a single-parent household. We then unpack how those early experiences shaped his emotional and physical wellbeing, and how he had to shift his mindset to pursue his dreams in real estate.

I really resonated with Danny's story about losing his mother and how it led to his spiritual transformation. I could relate so much to confronting those deep, old woundings and the impact of our parental relationships on our own lives.

We talk about what has helped each of us move forward in life, balancing feminine and masculine energies, and the sacrifices we need to make to find true happiness and peace.

This episode is raw and full of powerful insights on how to start healing your heart, and have a more authentic approach to work, relationships, health, and finances. If you're ready to let go of what's holding you back and awaken their highest purpose, potential, and power, you won't want to miss this one.

I’m so thrilled to welcome my friend, my trainer, the Glute Goddess herself, Sandy Brockman to the show! Today, we’re talking all about the number one workout Sandy recommends for women: strength training. Sandy shares how she first fell in love with weights, getting strong through strength training early on in her fitness journey, and details why she insists it’s the best way to stay fit as you age (yes, even over cardio!)

We talk about the science behind growing muscles, why glute strength is so important, and her new 6-week workout program in collaboration with Women’s Health Magazine. We also dive into Sandy’s advice for anyone who feels intimidated by the gym, and how her program can help you gain confidence through lifting weights.

Of course, we also explore the mental health benefits of strength training, even how hard lessons we learn in the gym can translate to our personal lives, outside of it.

Bonding over being bad*** women in fitness over 40, we get ultra-honest in an important exchange around how womens’ bodies change as we age, and how to best support them through the hormonal shifts experienced in perimenopause and menopause.

Sandy also shares her protein guidelines for building and maintaining muscle, and recommends her favorite protein sources to get you to your goals. Make sure to check out Sandy’s incredible glute workout and experience the power of strength training for your overall physical and mental health!

Kelly Gores is an entrepreneur, writer, director, and the producer of the award-winning Documentary, HEAL, which explores the power of the mind-body connection and the body’s natural healing capabilities. With a book and a growing brand sharing the film’s title, she’s one of the world’s leading voices in whole-body healing, natural remedies, and alternative approaches to strengthening our mind-body connection.

She is also the host of HEAL with Kelly, a podcast that inspires, reveals tools, and shares personal stories of the body's ability to heal. Through the HEAL brand, she aims to empower people by sharing knowledge about the remarkable ability and intelligence of the human body to expand our belief of what’s possible and become conscious co-creators with our lives.

Today’s conversation is as empowering as it is relatable, as educational as it is actionable. Kelly’s delivery is all about accessibility and empathy. After experiencing her own mental health struggles in college, she was awoken to the world of ideas outside her own bubble – and began collecting wisdom from around the world to share.

We talk about the magic of manifestation, touch on the rising profile of psychedelic-assisted therapies, the parallels in worldwide religions, and so much more in the complex but down-to-earth conversation. We’ll be watching, for sure, as Kelly continues to make positive moves in this space.

Paul Scanlon has been a mentor, educator, and motivational speaker for over 40 years with a focus on communication, leadership, cultural engineering, and self awareness. I've been following Paul on Instagram and have listened to his podcast for quite some time as I've processed traumas, worked on setting better boundaries, and learned communication skills – all the things that I'm still working on to this day!

I’m happy to have him on the podcast today to talk about how our childhood traumas impact us as adults and how we can take measures to get unstuck, come back home to our authentic selves, set better boundaries, and become more comfortable with change.

Paul’s book, I Am Not My Father, is an incredible story of how to heal generational trauma and the power of leaning into who you truly are.

In this episode, he explains how attachment styles formed in childhood influence our relationships and patterns as adults, and how we can start to have more compassion and understanding towards ourselves through all of the ups and downs that life throws at us.

He shares helpful tools for setting boundaries and caring less about what other people think of us as we embark on our journey of self improvement and evolution. He acknowledges that, as we grow and change, our relationships can be strained, and how to overcome friction in our lives in order to focus on our own personal growth. He even shares advice for navigating career transitions and aging gracefully in both body and mind.

I’m grateful for Paul’s work and insight on how to get unstuck and make small steps towards aligning who we are with how we show up in the world. I hope his perspective inspires and empowers you to look inward, too.

Eating disorders are mental health disorders. Period – full stop. (Triggering content warning)

Johanna Kandel, today’s esteemed guest and the founder and CEO of the National Alliance for Eating Disorders, has dedicated her career to unveiling that commonly misunderstood fact. Eating disorders are biologically-based brain illnesses. They are genetic in nature, and they are absolutely serious mental illnesses.

As a passionate (and impressively credentialed) advocate for mental health and eating disorders legislation, Johanna has spent a lot of time meeting with numerous members of Congress, and was part of the first-ever Eating Disorder Roundtable at the White House.

This is a deeply personal conversation wherein both Johanna and I share experiences from our own struggles with disordered eating and mental health; dig into our raw, honest, and unfiltered concerns about the growing trend of weight loss drugs; and deliver important tips for respectfully supporting those in your life struggling with body image issues.

You don’t want to miss this table stakes conversation on mental health as we shine a bright light on one of the most deeply shrouded health and wellness secrets hidden beneath American society. No doubt, you’ll leave more informed, inspired, and empowered to help further the cause.
