TGU is bringing the feminine to y’all today. I got to sit down with both Peyton and McLean for a deep dive into all things partnerships, co-parenting, motherhood, and how to best care for a woman in her postpartum period. These doulas share some beautiful wisdom – a lot of which may be unfamiliar, as our culture has strayed from these ancient traditions that once were essential to our wellbeing.

In this conversation we dive into...

→ Letting go of undesired parenting habits.

→ Engaging in curious conversations with our children; specifically, those deemed unsuitable.

→ Giving our partner space to become the best version of themselves.

→ The spiritual journey into motherhood.

→ Ways to celebrate and support a woman in her postpartum period.

→ Peyton’s latest project; Dads, this one's for you!

Competing at the Crossfit Games on 8 separate occasions and taking home the W in 2008, Jason Khalipa joins us today to share his wisdom around the age-old concept – balance. Something that we sometimes lose sight of as we find ourselves submerged in our fast-paced society; derailing from our priorities and what’s truly important at the end of the day.

Unfortunately – and fortunately, to a degree – Jason and his family found themselves in a situation that no family ever hopes to experience. With the power of gratitude, they allowed this adversity to reorient their priorities and amplify the gifts present in their lives. Bringing forth an even more meaningful life.

Jason and I discuss...

→ Cultivating your own destiny.

→ Using times of crisis as opportunities to reprioritize.

→ The importance of micro check-ins with self throughout the day.

→ Meeting adversity with acceptance and gratitude.

→ How Jason keeps his intimate relationship alive amidst their parenting roles.

→ His latest endeavor – NCFit app; simple, effort-based daily and on-demand workouts.

Honored to host these three ladies fresh off of their 7 day immersion at Londolozi Game Reserve in South Africa. If you’ve been listening, you’ll recognize this game reserve as Boyd Varty’s home base – a 3-time guest on TGU ;)

It’s not every day that we’re presented with an opportunity, or even desire, to submerge oneself in the South African bush, but something pinged each of them in a way that was impossible to ignore. In this conversation, they each share their stories of receiving and answering their heart’s call, witnessing their untrue “stories” dissipate in front of them, experiencing pure bliss as a result of surrendering, and the many unexpected lessons that the people, animals, and land of Londolozi gifted them with.

Some wisdom that we dive into includes…

→ The process of answering our heart’s call; the doubt, excitement, resistance.

→ What the Londolozi animals and land awoke within each of them.

→ The power of presence and stillness, invoking immense wisdom.

→ Learning how to follow our life’s next track.

→ Surrendering to the unknown.

→ What’s on the other side of saying yes?

We don’t expand ourselves, LOVE expands us.

So excited to share Adam Roa’s medicine on TGU today. Humans are in a constant state of expansion; every choice we make affects who we are becoming. Adam shares his journey to self-love and his life-altering awakening at 18 years old that presented him with either an opportunity to evolve or to remain in the cycle of chasing adequacy. Something I resonate deeply with. Amongst sharing his own journey, Adam holds space for me to share a few of my current unlearnings; specifically in my intimate relationship.

Adam and I explore...

→ How to embody acceptance without condoning.

→ Universal agreement vs universal acceptance.

→ My current workaround my intimate relationship; hint, disappointment in Self.

→ Shaving time off from our mile of “awareness."

→ Bridging the polarities of the masculine and feminine in relationships.

→ The clouded achievement mindset.

Many of you may know that for 20 years I spent much of my time on the Chicago trading floor and my love for investing has been a constant ever since. I don’t find too many opportune moments to dive into this passion on TGU, so this conversation was certainly a fun one to finally have on the show. Among his many investment tips and tricks, Justin is keen on the importance of “family man first, businessman second”. He wrote his book (see below) as a legacy piece; a memoir of investment tips that he wanted to pass down to my daughter. I mean, how awesome is this?!

Justin and I explore...

→ The importance of reclaiming control over your financial future.

→ What is Front Row Dads?

→ Creating clarity around what you DO want vs what you DON’T want.

→ The myths and misconceptions of why you’re not capable of investing.

→ Justin’s “Murphy’s Laws” of Investing.

→ And much more!

Josh and I dive into…

If you’ve been listening along, you’ve likely heard me highly recommend one of Mikki's masterpieces, Plandemic: Indoctornation, where he and his team of incredible researchers seek out the truth within all of the misleading information these days.

Mikki’s here today to share his personal story of waking up to the harmful false narratives that surround us and what's inspired him to share all that he has discovered so far; risking it all due to his love for freedom, people, and health.

In this insightful conversation with Mikki, we explore...

→ The personal losses that encouraged Mikki to take a deeper look at what lies before us.

→ The effects of our population living in a state of fear.

→ How cognitive dissonance is the real concern.

→ How the constant fear-inducing narratives limit one's capacity for critical thinking.

→ Ways that our morality and language are being weaponized.
