The DEEP Life

This week on The DEEP Life we are excited to bring you another inspiring conversation with Mark Dini. Mark previously appeared on episode 127 and today he is back to help us explore our relationship to food and how it affects our health, happiness, and overall state of well-being.

Food plays a major role in all of our lives.  Whether it is a source of great joy and happiness, or anxiety and dread, it is a part of our everyday lives and is inextricably linked to our health.

Throughout the conversation, we talk about how different events and experiences can influence how we perceive and relate to food and how in turn, that relationship affects the rest of our lives. We also cover the importance of our mental and emotional state while eating, how our relationship with food, like all relationships, is a reflection of our relationship with ourselves, and share helpful tips for creating a healthier, happier relationship with food.

Mark is a functional health & optimization coach who helps his clients reach optimal health using a root cause approach incorporating peptide therapy and functional blood work.

Mark is passionate about empowering individuals to take control of their health and reclaim their lives by educating them on science-backed alternative approaches.  Through personalized, holistic strategies he guides clients in addressing the underlying drivers of their health concerns, rather than masking symptoms.

We’ve probably all heard somebody say we must be “true to ourselves”, but what if we don’t know who we are?  Throughout our lives, we all go through different phases, seasons, and iterations of ourselves, and the transitions aren’t always smooth or linear.

This seems especially true when we have committed to a journey of self-development, because the moment we set an intention to grow or evolve, we invite situations and circumstances into our life that will provide the friction necessary to shape us into the person we are becoming.

This week on The DEEP Life we are reflecting on this facet of our own journeys and exploring different aspects of identity, learning to handle transformation, and knowing who we are in the midst of change or crisis.

We also talk about the stories we tell ourselves, learning to discern between the voice of our Higher Self and ego, and grieving the parts of ourselves that we lose or appear to lose throughout our lives.

It’s really easy to embody your spirituality in yoga class or during meditation, but what happens when you go out into the “real world” with responsibilities, work, traffic, gossip and all the other distractions and negativity?

This week on The Deep Life we are discussing how to maintain conscious awareness during our day to day activities.  

Throughout the conversation, we explore what it means to be “spiritual” and talk about different modalities for connecting to and embodying our higher nature. We also discuss finding a balance between our spiritual and material realities as well as not beating ourselves up for falling into old, familiar patterns that we are trying to transcend.

On this week’s episode of The DEEP Life, we welcome back Jator Pierre to examine why so many of us seem to get in our own way and constantly find ways to sabotage ourselves.

Jator previously appeared on episode #57 (link below) where we took a very deep dive into exploring our emotions. That episode is still one of our most listened-to episodes of all time and one that we highly recommend you check out if you haven’t already.

Today, we are going DEEP once again as we dive into the inner critic, self-saboteur, and other aspects of our personality that seem to be working against us. We suggest listening to this episode with a journal or notebook close by because it is packed with thought-provoking questions and invitations to explore different aspects of ourselves that we may have previously been unaware of.

Jator has been in the practice of transforming lives since 1999.  He uses a vast toolbox of modalities to bring about lasting change in his clients. His work primarily focuses on emotional trauma, auto-immune issues, digestive disorders, chronic stress, and chronic pain.

Have you ever thought about where your values came from? 

Our values play a massive role in creating our reality, yet so often they aren’t even really our own but instead they are something we picked up from our family, friends, religion, school or society.

On this week’s episode we are joined by Josh Lemus for a DEEP dive into the stories and values that shape our lives. 

We talk about where they come from, how they subconsciously alter our perception and why it is important to get clear on what our true values actually are.

Throughout the episode we also get into a really interesting discussion on perception and how we are all experiencing our own unique version of the world, living in our own stories, which has a huge impact on how we relate to ourselves and others.

Josh is a Holistic Inner coach who helps men and women accept and integrate all parts of themselves.

As he shares in the show, Josh developed his interest for health at a young age as he faced personal challenges in his formative years such as obesity, autoimmune issues and metabolic syndrome.

Those interests stayed with him into adulthood where he pursued an education in holistic health, studying under some of the most renowned experts in the field, including Paul Chek & Chris Kresser, and began his own coaching career.

Josh has always been a keen observer, noticing a common pattern of resistance and/ or sabotage with clients regarding their health goals and desires. This raised many questions and led Josh down the path of his own self discovery and realization. 

Since 2020, Josh has taken a deep dive into inner aspect/shadow work. During this time, he has worked closely with, and taken multiple courses created by Jator Pierre. The latest being an intensive inner holistic coaching course called illuminate. Through this course, Josh has taken his coaching a step further, focusing on a framework that facilitates deep, transformational change in serving clients. 

Josh is most excited about the influence our mental & emotional aspects have on the human body. More specifically, how our perceptions cultivate health or disease. 

He currently has a virtual coaching practice via zoom where he guidies men & women that have a desire to embark on the change process and individuate into their true potential.

On this week’s episode, we are joined by Mikael Roussel for a fascinating conversation about life and understanding our relationship with ourselves.  

This discussion covers a lot of ground and touches on many different topics including overthinking, underthinking, how we interpret our own feelings and emotions, self-acceptance, and the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves.

Mikael B Roussel is a philosopher coach who dives deep into life’s profound questions. With a penchant for challenging norms and embracing the unconventional, he invites us to explore the path of wonder over certainty. When he’s not pondering life’s mysteries, Mikael also plays in a Franco-Norwegian duo called CASILIAN, adding a musical dimension to his journey of exploration.

Throughout this episode, Mikael’s unique perspective was on full display as he shared insight gleaned from his own personal life as well as his experience as a coach and student.  His knack for not taking things at face value and his ability to ask unexpected but meaningful questions leads to a DEEP discussion that is sure to stir not just answers, but even better questions.

This week on The DEEP Life Dan & Elise talk about what it means to transform our lives, as they explore the paradox of how we can be both “perfect exactly as we are” & at the same time have an innate drive to become the highest version of ourselves.

We have all heard coaches or spiritual teachers say something to the effect of “Everything you need is already within you” or “You are perfect exactly as you are”…

But, it’s not always easy to accept these truths, especially when you know you are capable of so much more.

Throughout this episode, Dan & Elise discuss how both of these things can be true simultaneously, looking to nature, science, and personal experience to make sense of the seemingly paradoxical situation we all find ourselves in.  

They also cover the never-ending trap of “not enough-ness”, the true meaning of surrender, and dive DEEP into the difference between transforming ourselves and changing ourselves.

On this week’s episode of The DEEP Life we welcome back Meg Rudolph for her 3rd appearance.  In previous conversations (episodes 63 & 123) we covered aspects of mental health such as trauma, stress, and anxiety.  This week we go DEEP on a variety of topics and lean into the idea of stepping out of our comfort zone and allowing ourselves to change and evolve. 

Change can be challenging and even scary, but at the same time it is a necessary part of the human experience because the things we want the most in life most often exist outside of our comfort zone.

In this conversation, we look at why change can be so challenging for so many of us.  We explore codependency, both about other people as well as material things like food, money and career.  We also talk about setting boundaries, relationship dynamics, family dynamics, and major life transitions like starting a new career, marriage, or becoming a parent for the first time as Meg recently experienced, and we explore value, labels, self-worth and other ways we identify ourselves and others look at.

Meg is a Licensed Professional Counselor in both Connecticut & Georgia as well as a National Certified Counselor with experience working as a therapist in multiple treatment settings including community mental health, inpatient acute hospitalization, and substance abuse IOP. Meg has also spent a portion of her career in mental health leadership roles with a passion for supervising new clinicians. Meg’s areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, crisis intervention, autism spectrum disorder and neurodevelopmental disorders.

On this episode of The DEEP Life we are joined by Jess Fracalossi.  

Jess is the Founder and Head of Brand for The Handle Bar & Hotbox Studios, a thriving group fitness business with 7 locations within Boston & Cambridge.

You may remember Jess from her previous appearance on episode 73 where we discussed her story and how she was able to create and build a fitness empire.  

In this episode we focus more on the big picture, diving DEEP into holistic wellness and exploring how the pursuit of fitness often leads naturally to the cultivation of a healthy lifestyle, community and overall sense of harmony & wellbeing.

Throughout this inspiring conversation Jess speaks vulnerably about the challenges and suffering that go hand in hand with the human experience as well as not being afraid to deal with these things head on, which in turn broadens our outlook on life and awakens a strength within us that we can tap into. 

We also dive DEEP into Consciousness, awareness and being the Observer of our thoughts, feelings and actions, and Jess shares some of the ah-ha moments she has experienced along her awakening journey and how she personally has leaned into self discovery, both professional and through relationships with family, friends and co-workers that have aided in her life’s journey. 

Jess has always been an inspiration to both of us as we have watched her build this empire and seen it blossom and change throughout the years just as she has.  She truly embodies her role as a business leader, mother, wife, devoted friend and co-creator of her life here on earth.
