In this episode, we sit down with young author and entrepreneur, Giovanna Silvestre, to discuss her life and her book, "Confused Girl, Find Your Peace In The Chaos.” I loved her energy and courage, and her passion for the work she’s doing with inspirational active wear. She shares how most intensely sad moments led her on this transformative journey from depression to self-discovery, and to doing work that she now loves and that continues inspires her everyday. 

Her initial confusion - hence the name of her book Confused Girl —stemmed from feeling stuck, unworthy, and lost in the turbulence of what she describes as the societal expectations of this modern world. 

Giovanna opens up about the pivotal moments that led her to embrace confusion as a virtue, the power of vulnerability, and the importance of staying curious about life and oneself. Join us as we delve into her inspiring story of resilience, creativity, and the pursuit of authenticity.

Today’s guest is Clinical Psychologist, Professor and Author Ross White. His insightful book is called “The Tree that Bends: How a Flexible Mind can help you thrive.” The Tree that Bends, a title that comes from a Tanzanian proverb, is a metaphor to illustrate how we can remain anchored, willing and empowered in the face of lifes most difficult challenges. We explore the themes of psychological flexibility including acceptance and commitment therapy, and daily practices that can help manage our emotions when navigating anxiety — many that can be so helpful for our mental health and wellbeing. I love how he talks about embracing emotions as messengers that can lead to a more fulfilling and balanced life. P.S. he gives me therapy on my own driving anxiety, post accident!

Today’s guest is the amazing Penelope Smith…known joyfully as the grandmother of animal communication. She’s a founder and trailblazer in the field of interspecies telepathic communication and the author of classic books in the field, including Animal Talk, When Animals Speak and Animals in Spirit. She has a vast body of work and educational materials on the topic. In this interview, she shares her own journey to becoming an animal communicator, which actually came quite naturally to her, as well as many personal stories. I know some people will find this topic a bit woo woo, but you’ll be surprised how authentic and natural her philosophy and methods feel. In fact, I started practicing with my dog, Milo, right after this interview. We’re working on it! Penelope believes all of us have the ability to communicate with other species. Her approach emphasizes treating animals as spiritual beings — intelligent, feeling entities with souls. Makes sense! I wondered if all animals are even interested in telepathically communicating with humans ;-)  We may be the kooky ones. Anyway…It’s a fun, fascinating conversation. I hope you enjoy it.

Encore Episode. Today’s guest is Dr. Joel Kahn. He’s a world renowned Cardiologist, Author and Host of the podcast Heart Doc VIP. He’s also referred to as America's Healthy Heart Doctor. He gives us confidence that, yes, we can take charge of our health. In this interview, he shares practical advice and tools to help us crack the code on heart disease which still, hard to believe, is the leading cause of death. 

He believes that we can do much better…with a mix of testing (he says test don’t guess), a calcium heart scan, advanced labs if needed, a plant based diet, exercise, sleep, hormones, supplements and, if needed, medicine. He shares some of the research on a plant based diet and heart health, as well as its potential to reduce dementia risk. He’s very bullish on a plant based diet and you’ll understand why after listening to him. He’s passionate about making sure that we’re all as informed as possible. His extensive knowledge, experience and access to the latest research is truly empowering. And it’s nice that he’s a fun guy too. 

I’ve been on the track to learn more about heart disease personally — so was thrilled to have Joel on our show. I learned so much from him.

In this conversation, my guest, Hrund Gunnsteindottir, and I discuss the concept of 'Insaie', the Icelandic word for intuition— which means ‘to see ‘ in Icelandic…and we explore it’s deeper meanings and implications. Hrund shares insights on cultivating intuition, the importance of self-awareness, and the delicate balance between fear and intuition. She dives into personal experiences, the role of intuition in relationships, and practical tools for enhancing intuitive abilities. The discussion emphasizes the interconnectedness of intuition with creativity, healing, and higher consciousness, ultimately advocating for a more mindful and present approach to life. This is a rich discussion about how we all have intuition and the many ways to cultivate it. It plays such a vital role in our lives, especially in our relationships.

Today’s guest is Michelle Chalfant, Author of the book The Adult Chair, Get Unstuck, Claim Your Power and Transform Your Life.

She’s also a therapist and created the Adult Chair Model, where she combines psychology and grounded spirituality to inspire personal transformation. 

In this discussion, we explore the metaphor of life stages represented by chairs. Michelle shares her unique perspective on how the child, adolescent, and adult chairs symbolize our developmental journey. She delves into the significance of each stage, the unconscious beliefs formed in childhood and the impact of our childhood development on shaping our adult behaviors. The child chair, she says, lays the foundation or our initial road map; next comes the adolescent chair — the phase where our ego develops survival strategies based on our childhood; and then the adult chair, which ideally represents the stage of a healthy adult, generally starting around age twenty-five when the prefrontal cortex is developed. Living in the adult chair is marked by raised consciousness, awareness of self and others, living in the present moment, feeling emotions, setting boundaries, sharing needs, and taking responsibility for one's actions, choices, and motivations. It's a fascinating discussion!

Today’s guest in this encore episode focuses on behavior change. Dr. Allison Grupski, PhD and Clinical Health Psychologist specializing in weight management and eating behaviors is the Head of Behavior Change at Weight Watchers, referred to as WW in this interview. She shares many of the behavior change strategies she’s used to drive real-life behavior change for millions of people. Change can be difficult, especially when it’s tied to deeply engrained habits. And, when it comes to eating and weight management, it may be even more complicated given the many factors that influence us. Her thoughts on disrupting routine behaviors as a way to shift habits are fascinating. You won’t be surprised to know that she includes meditation in many of her workshops and meetings. She also shared the top five behaviors that help people reach their healthy weight goals.

Today's guest is Michael Pilarcyzk, Author of the book Master Your Mindset: Live a Meaningful Life. I’ve always believed that our mindset drives so much of how we live, so hearing michaels journey was fascinating. Michaels story is one of radical reinvention, deep self reflection and ultimately, enormous change. He shares the challenging turning points that led him to find his purpose and live a more meaningful life. 

Michael, also known as "Mister Mindset," is a bestselling author, entrepreneur, and mindfulness and meditation coach. He's known for his work in personal growth and self-awareness, and is an expert in reprogramming thought patterns.

We talk about the daily practices that matter most—like mental fitness, journaling, meditation, and gratitude—and how small changes can lead to powerful results. Michael also shares the practical tools and principles from his book, including the importance of clarity, self-discipline, visualization, and asking the right questions to uncover what you truly want.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what’s next, this conversation is a reminder that change is possible at any age—and that who you become is the result of how you choose to think.
