August 02, 2022Rich Roll on Unlocking the Best Version of Yourself & How Mindset is Everything
Rich Roll and I discuss practicing patience and presence in life and the journey towards creativity and joy, finding purpose, and running with it. He shares how to step into the person you’ve always wanted and deserve to be, what he does to stay motivated daily, his spiritual beliefs and parenting philosophy, advice he would give his younger self as a lawyer and struggling with addiction, and more.
Rich is a globally known vegan ultra endurance athlete, best selling author, and host of one of the biggest podcasts on the planet, The Rich Roll Podcast. He’s a graduate of Stanford University and Cornell Law School, that got sober after a decade of drug and alcohol addiction. At 40 years old he walked away from a career in law, to transform and reinvent himself once he learned the value of a healthy plant-based lifestyle. Named one of the 25 fittest men in the world by Men’s Fitness, and the world’s fittest vegan by men’s health, he’s a wellness advocate, father of 4, and globally known for his athletic accomplishments. His story has inspired millions on addiction, redemption, and optimal health.
I’m humbled to have gotten the chance to sit down with and learn from someone I admire, not just as a successful podcaster who is incredible at cultivating meaningful conversations, but also as someone who’s so driven by learning and growth.

June 21, 2022PRO LIFE vs. PRO CHOICE debate | opposing views with Lila Rose & Brenda Davies
Not many issues are more polarizing and heated than the topic of abortion. Pro life advocates believe in the inherent value and human rights of the unborn. Pro choice advocates believe in the the rights of women to choose whether to continue a pregnancy or not and to have bodily autonomy.
Brenda Davies and Lila Rose have very opposing views on the topic of abortion. Brenda is a writer, podcaster, and left-leaning pro-choice Christian with the YouTube channel called God is Grey. Brenda believes that forced birth is immoral and that abortion can be better prevented by making this nation a more hospitable place for new & existing life with left leaning policies. Lila is a writer, speaker and pro life activist. She’s the founder and president of Live Action, a human rights nonprofit with the largest digital footprint on the globe for the pro-life movement. Live Action exists to defend the rights of the unborn and make abortion unthinkable.
In this episode we cover:
Is it always wrong to commit intentional violence on an innocent human person?

Is it immoral to force teens and women to give birth against their will? What about bodily autonomy?

What is the moment of distinction when a person deserves basic human rights? Gestational age? A heartbeat? Viability? When a person takes their first breath after birth?

Both mother and child have rights - are those rights in conflict?

The viewpoint: “I wouldn’t personally get an abortion but I wouldn’t want to restrict someone else from getting one.”

Is the way we talk about this debate “pro life” and “pro choice” accurate to how people who hold those views truly think and act?

There was over 600,000 abortions last year, if all abortions were banned, that would be 600,000 more kids, many of them in poverty or tough situations, what would be the plan to deal with that?

Horrific instances of rape or incest, or when there is an extreme health risk to the mother?

Sex elective abortion, when one aborts their baby girl because they are specifically wanting a boy, or vice versa.

would making abortion illegal actually reduce abortions?

How the foster care system vs adoption shapes this conversation

Do women need to rely on abortion to succeed in society?

What about overpopulation?

Roe v. Wade - will the Supreme Court overturn Roe? What will that mean for our national conversation about abortion?

June 07, 2022How to Stop being Vegan with Colleen Patrick-Goudreau
Millions of people are choosing veganism all over the world. They value their health, have compassion for animals, and are concerned about the environment, and yet despite the personal benefits they experience, a lot of people revert back to eating meat dairy and eggs. Why is that? I have been looking forward to this episode since the creation of my podcast. One of my most passionate topics is this conversation surrounding why people stop being vegan, how vegans respond to people who stop being vegan, how non vegans use the stories of ex-vegans as proof of justification for this or that, the complexities of our own experiences that shape our decisions, and so on.
To break down this topic, I shared a conversation with Colleen Patrick-Goudreau who is not only a decades long OG vegan, but also a thought leader on the social, ethical, and practical aspects of living compassionately and healthfully. She’s a speaker, cultural commentator, podcaster, and author of many books, including “The Joyful Vegan: how to stay vegan in a world that wants you to eat meat, dairy, and eggs” and her perspective on the many common reasons why people stop being vegan are compelling.
In this episode we cover
What the data shows is the main reason people stop being vegan - is it health reasons or more social and cultural?

The social and cultural pressures that impact our lifestyle choices

feeling the pressure (often self inflicted) to be perfect

What being realistic about food and health looks like

The double standard that our society holds plant-based eaters and their health to compared to any other way of eating

Breaching values and sabotaging goals in the process

The problems with ex-vegan stories - both how they are presented and how people respond to them

Anecdotes & social media influencers who quit being vegan

if I ever consider stopping being vegan

when plant-based diets don’t work

our biological design to thrive

Why you’ll never see videos called “why I quit the ancestral diet” or “why I quit the paleo diet”

Health is so much more than just food

Division & hatred on both sides

the hidden complexities of our modern day agriculture system

if vegans’ righteous anger when people fail to meet their expectations is justified or helpful

Loving everyone through their own journeys, stories, and no matter how they choose to eat.

The selling of people, human trafficking, is the fastest growing criminal enterprise in the world, with 27 million enslaved, 6 million of them children. So many of us aren’t aware of how wide spread this issue is, because it’s not at the forefront of the media, and we think it doesn’t happen where we live. But this is the closet crime that is exploding and rising all around us at astronomical rates.
Tim Ballard, a former special agent and undercover operator for the Department of Homeland Security and also former CIA, shares what we need to know about child trafficking. He’s an abolitionist, NGO specialist, activist and philanthropist, and is the founder and president of O.U.R. Rescue that rescues children from child sex trafficking and sexual exploitation and has assisted in the arrested of thousands of predators.
This episode is heavy, sobering, and challenging, but important to hear. Be aware when starting this episode that we discuss some very heavy topics, but that there is a reason and goal in mind: how to protect our children and support those who are rescuing children from slavery and exploitation.
In this episode we cover:
What human trafficking is and what it looks like both in the US and internationally.

Tim’s background and what lead him to this line of work as a life long mission

Why human trafficking isn’t on the forefront of media attention

Online explicit material and how O.U.R. Rescue helps facilitate tracking down predators and finding the abused children

The process of rescuing children currently enslaved in different parts of the world

Tim’s recent trip to Ukraine and how when a country is in crisis it puts children at risk of being trafficked

The rise in normalizing pedophilia and sex with minors

The dangers of social media and smart phones for children

The new documentary coming out soon around what O.U.R. Rescue is doing in Ukraine called “Good Friday”

The best way for us to support and help O.U.R. Rescue’s efforts to rescue children from exploitation and slavery

Many people want to become more financially stable, but are struggling or feel like they won’t be able to change their circumstances. Rachel Cruze, a two-time #1 national bestselling author and financial expert, empowers people to turn around their finances, get out of debt, and build a wealth mindset. Rachel and her Father, Dave Ramsey, teach families and individuals at all levels of income how to start saving to create long term wealth, and finally get out of debt.

I loved this conversation with Rachel, she’s energetic, thought-provoking, compassionate, and insightful. Personal finance is an important topic for all people, at all levels of income and I hope you will find what she shares inspiring for your financial freedom journey.

March 29, 2022ORGASMIC BIRTH: have a birth that transforms you and feels good with Phoenix Wild
Having an empowering birth experience is one of my favorite topics of conversation. Birth is a transformative experience and we can cry and laugh and love up on each other’s stories, whether there is heartache, trauma, euphoria, or peace. All birth stories matter and there is strength to gain from listening to each other’s experiences. I sit down with my friend Jordan, who recently gave brith to her fourth baby in the comfort of her own home in Tanzania with her family. She shares the story of her most recent birth and we also revel in the evolution she’s had from her other births as well. Her birth stories are both hilarious and beautiful, chaotic yet calming, and also empowering. We found many similarities in our own lives, not just from the beautiful mess of motherhood and homeschooling and raising a big family, but also from the insights we’ve gained over the course of our different births. In this episode we cover what has helped us have the most empowering birth experiences, what hasn’t helped, and everything in between.
You can find Jordan on instagram at @pheonix.wild so you can keep up with her life journey with her family travels, homeschooling and motherhood. She is coming out with a homeschooling course soon so stay tuned for that and she also just launched an online market place to be able to find natural mother and baby products all in one beautiful place at organicbabyme.com
So buckle up for some wild birth stories, I laughed a lot in this episode, probably because I find so much joy in talking about birth. I hope you enjoy our stories.
