Join me this week to talk to one of my role models since my young college days. Am I fan-girling a little? You bet. Stefani Ruper just finished up her PhD in Religion and Science at the University of Oxford in the U.K. Through her own experiences with various health issues, she started studying the literature on several lifestyle, physiological, and nutritional topics to find answers and heal herself. Stefani realized she wanted to help as many people as possible find better mental and physical health. The combination of her philosophical and nutrition/health backgrounds enable her to make said impact, and I was so fortunate to discuss the following with her:

The "Bigger" Questions
- Does everything happen for a reason?
- If something helps you find peace, clarity, and harmony, does it matter what said "thing" is?
- Evolution and religion

Health Topics
- Common causes of acne
- Hormonal birth control
- Intermittent fasting
- Trouble sleeping

Finally, I decide to record an episode that is so close to my heart. If you're going through this right now (or you just want to listen to me talk to myself), this one's for you. I walk through the different signs that you may be falling out of love.

Listen and find out my very own Destroyed to Divine, and the reason I started this podcast.

WOW. If an episode could have EVERYTHING you've ever wanted to hear packaged into one, this is the episode. Andre Matteson, Inventor/Author/Former NBA Strength Coach, and I sat down to talk about how we both lost our virginity, "body count" and the double standard of it, and when you should sleep with a date [from a guy's perspective].

Most importantly, we hear Andre's journey-- from being told he was a father when he wasn't, to living in his car, to his present-day life-- this is an episode you don't not want to miss!

Feeling like you can't make your dreams come true? LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE.

What's Synesthesia, you ask? Zach didn't know either....until we discovered he has it too. Listen to learn about the weird phenomenon we both experience in our every day life.

We also discuss our personal experiences with getting bullied, how it has impacted how we treat others now, as well as jealousy and the residual effects of toxic friendships.

This is probably the deepest I've ever gotten on Plan D. That's why I had to make this a two-parter! Singer/songwriter and artist, Zach White, and I sat down and talked about parents messing up, nature vs. nurture, anxiety & depression, and ending a relationship when nothing is inherently wrong. 

If you want to hear two young 20-some's talk about past traumas, relationships, and outlooks on life, this one's for you.

SUCH A SPECIAL EPISODE TO ME because I had on my two best friends that I made here in California. Finding supportive, genuine, and role model friends is honestly so rare. If we all dig deep, we realize a lot of our friendships are maybe obligatory, toxic, up and down, or competitive-- but I found proof that there are people out there who support the f*** out of you and want to see you shine. 

We also discuss Halloweekend, partying, religion, and more!

 A THREESOME? I had "Prince" AND "Skin Girl" on Plan D this week. We sat down and discussed our biggest dealbreakers for dating apps, first dates, and in long-term relationships. We also touch on past experiences in relationships, IKEA furniture, wine smuggling, and magic mushrooms.

"SKIN GIRL" IS BACK! Carolyn and I sat down to discuss the reasons dating now is so difficult, and what to do if you're into someone but don't want a relationship. We also discuss lesbian porn, why being friends first [before dating] is important, and how to know if you're ready to take the relationship to the next step.
