In this solo episode, I dive into the messy magic of self-discovery and what it really means to show up as your full, authentic self—even if that means not everyone likes you. We talk nervous systems, emotional regulation, and why those “activated” moments are actually gold for growth. I break down the power of choosing relationships that choose you back and why chasing the unavailable just isn’t it. You’ll hear why your body might be your biggest spiritual guide, and how embracing all of you—yes, even the shadowy bits—can lead to deeper connection, bigger love, and a life that feels wildly aligned.

In this episode Dan Huber’s remarkable journey from chronic illness to healing reveals just how deeply environmental toxins—especially mold—can affect our well-being, leading to conditions like chronic pain, fatigue, and brain fog. After years of frustration with traditional medicine and unanswered symptoms, Dan uncovered the hidden dangers in his own home and transformed his health through detoxification, circadian rhythm alignment, and conscious lifestyle changes. In this powerful conversation, we dive into the overlooked connection between our surroundings and our bodies, the dangers of everyday household toxins, and practical steps to reclaim vitality. Dan also shares how his experience led him to create Lucia Eyes, a company focused on blue light protection, and his nonprofit, Hope Chain, which supports mental health in young people. If you've ever struggled with unexplained health issues or want to take a proactive approach to well-being, this episode is a must-listen.

Dan Huber is a relentless advocate for health, resilience, and purpose-driven innovation. After the 2008 mortgage crisis left his family in financial ruin, he faced another devastating challenge in 2011 when a severe mold infestation in their home led to mysterious illnesses. Determined to find answers, he immersed himself in alternative medicine and founded Lucia Eyes, a company specializing in blue-light-blocking glasses to help others combat environmental health threats. His expertise became a lifeline in 2023 when he aided a convent of nuns suffering from mold exposure—an experience marked by miraculous healing and profound spiritual encounters. He also founded HopeChain.com, an anti-suicide nonprofit for children, and serves on nonprofit boards including Kickstart Kids and the Child Liberation Front. With a passion for advocacy, innovation, and healing, Huber continues to make a lasting impact across industries and communities.

In this solo episode, I dive into a transformative journey of self-exploration — sharing my recent experience of a guided session with MDMA and psilocybin, combined with internal family systems (IFS) parts work. This experience illuminated deep insights about the many parts within me — those seeking validation, safety, and creative expression — revealing how they shape my life, emotions, and decision-making. Through raw reflection, I explore the tension between my bold, unapologetic self and the version of me that fears judgment, uncovering the path to integration rather than suppression. From childhood wounds to the complexities of social media’s grip on identity, this episode unpacks the ways we can reconnect with our hearts, honor our inner worlds, and find peace in embracing all aspects of who we are.
