In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with clinical psychologist and USA Today bestselling author, Dr. Chloe Carmichael. We discuss her new book release "Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly" as well how the suppression of free speech negatively affects our mental health. Dr. Chloe has been endorsed by notables in her field such as Dr. Phil McGraw, Dr. Drew Pinsky, Deepak Chopra, and others. I truly enjoyed this conversation and feel its contents are something that needs to be heard and addressed publicly. Thank you Dr. Chloe!

In this episode, we're listing 12 ways to simply fat loss. Essentially, 12 aspects that should be forgotten and ignored in most cases, due to the fact that they're misunderstood and proven destructive. I've also provided what I believe to be the 5 most necessary elements to healthy, sustainable fat loss. And lastly, I mention one major piece of our psyche, that if neglected, negates everything above.

On this episode, Keyera Patrick, a certified mindset coach, discusses her work and how she helps women balance both a career and a home life. She helps us understand the difference between a mindset coach and a cognitive behavioral therapist and how both are beneficial to personal growth. We also talk about some current day issues and how re-focusing our mindsets can work for the better.

This episode features a female perspective on modern dating and relationships. We've addressed some of the changes, struggles and confusion around romantic connections that have been introduced over the last decade or so, mainly with the advancements of technology and social media.

A few other topics discussed:
-Should men outwardly show interest or downplay it like they don't care?
-Can male/female friendships truly be trusted?
-Pros and cons of dating apps
-Is coffee an acceptable first date? 
-When he says "We'll just see where this goes.."
-When and how is exclusivity established?

The FB/IG responses were incorporated into the content. We also played a game of "red flag/green flag." (Is it a dealbreaker if he wants to split the bill? Has an embarrassing last name? Wears Crocs with socks?)

Huge thanks to Renee, Krystal and Gina for their time and giving their views on several topics around this subject and to those who contributed content through social media responses.

We are planning to do the male perspective next, then a third episode with everyone involved. Thanks to those who listen! All feedback is welcomed!

When we start taking action to improve upon ourselves, there's typically some form of criticism that can go along with it. It can be from those closest to us or complete strangers. Regardless, this type of judgment can hurt and cause our ego to feel a sting. In this episode, I've listed five mentalities that we may come across when adjusting our lifestyle for the better.

The purpose of this is to recognize them and understand that they have nothing to do with us and are almost always a projection of the insecurities, envy, and conditioning of the other person. Once we can see that, and not take it personally, we become more immune to insults or discouragement.

While I'm not an expert on human behavior, I've experienced these mentalities in the past. I think it's also beneficial to be honest with ourselves and assess whether or not we're carrying any of the personality traits that look to destroy rather than encourage.

In this episode, I revisit quite possibly the WORST diet I’ve ever seen, as well as what an incredibly lazy meal plan looks like. Watch me attempt to hold back my anger and disgust as I completely rip the most irresponsible types of “diets” that are circulating within the health & fitness space. The purpose here is to create some awareness as to what destructive diets, nonsensical supplements, and piss poor meal planning look like...so you can stay away from them and save yourself the misery and frustration.

Happy New Year!

In this episode, released on Festivus (because Seinfeld is better than Friends) I have read and responded to the Christmas Q&A from IG/FB, reviewed the 10 most streamed Christmas songs on Spotify, and discussed the 6 type of people that may be having a hard time around the holidays.

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!

Have you ever gone out to eat and tried your best to order something lighter or presumably healthier, only to find out it was a caloric nightmare? Or maybe you’ve just never noticed. In this episode, I’ve given some examples of restaurant menu items that might appear to be a great option but are a lot higher in calories than expected. This isn’t meant to be demoralizing or depressing, but a good awareness if you eat at restaurants often.

I’ve also looked at the calories and macros of quite possibly the most destructive menu item to ever hit a U.S. based chain restaurant. Hint: It contains 29,310mg of sodium.

With the new year approaching, it’s traditional to come up with a resolution that’ll better our lives in the year ahead. I’m not the biggest fan of them, but they can work and change lives if implemented correctly. Using my own past faults, I’ve listed 5 of the biggest mistakes made when deciding on a resolution for the new year. I have also listed what’s worked for me (and others) in the past when it comes to planning this lifestyle change as well as one specific new year’s resolution everyone should have at some point in their lives.

Thanks to those who listen!
