Untangle

Our guest for this encore episode is Dr. Molly Maloof. She is the author of a book called The Spark Factor. The Secret to Supercharging Energy, Becoming Resilient, and Feeling Better Than Ever. In this interview, she shares her research and insights on the key pillars of women’s health and wellbeing. I found this to be like an encyclopedia chock full of information and data related to our brains, gut, mental and physical health. She’s passionate about biohacking, lifestyle interventions, personalized medicine, and optimizing performance. It’s a rich look at how we manage our own health so we don’t have to rely on the healthcare system to ‘fix us’ when something goes wrong.

Now, here’s Molly.

Today’s encore episode was from the 2020 election SOS Series, and is titled How to have a difficult conversation. Our guest, Kern Beare, is the author of the book, Difficult Conversations, the Art and Science of Working Together. He shares strategies to help us have more productive dialogues and to resolve differences when it matters most. Whether in relationship, work, or political conversations, he discusses the importance of dropping our egos, letting go of feeling like we need to be right all the time, deep listening to truly understand the other, and seeing beyond our own stories. Understanding our implicit triggers and underlying ’stories’ can help us to be more self-aware when we’re in the heat of a difficult discussion or, as he says, about to ‘flip our lid.'

Important stuff.

I’m super excited about today’s guest, Dr. Victoria Maizes. She is Executive Director of the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine and a Professor of Medicine, Family Medicine and Public Health at the University of Arizona. She’s Internationally recognized as a leader in integrative medicine and her book, which we discuss today, is called Heal Faster: Unlock Your Body's Rapid Recovery Reflex. Today she shares the many science backed strategies that help us accelerate recovery from illness or injury by tapping into our body’s innate healing intelligence. 

Integrative medicine combines the best of conventional healthcare with evidence-based approaches to sleep, nutrition, lifestyle, stress management and complementary therapies. And, as we hear often, she shares the importance of relationships as powerful drivers of recovery and longevity.  

Integrative medicine focuses on treating the whole person, not just isolated symptoms. It’s a refreshing conversation and there is quite a bit of practical advice and information here.

Today’s encore episode is with favorite guest is Dr, James Cordova, author of the book, The Mindful Path to Intimacy. Cultivating a Deeper Connection with Your Partner. James is a Professor of Psychology at Clark University and the Director of the Relationship Checkup Program in Worcester, Massachusetts. In this interview we discuss what it actually takes to maintain intimacy over time.

When we begin a relationship, it’s pretty darn wonderful,.. but as many of us know AS the years go by, the rough patches begin to crop up. We become vulnerable. More real. The prickly porcupine stages come. THIS is when it becomes really important to learn how to be emotionally skillful. How to navigate emotional triggers with self-awareness, wisdom and compassion. How to be truly present with one another. To listen deeply. to understand the impact we’re having on our partner even if it’s not our intention. And to practice repair after conflicts. 

We often forget to do much of this…or it can easily take a back seat to busy schedules. 

He emphasizes the importance of regular relationship check ups…just like our annual healthcare physicals.

Cordova provides insights into navigating the complexities of intimacy with lots of practical tools to help us connect with ourselves and our partners on a deeper level.

Today we’re airing a favorite encore episode with the brilliant Sarah Stein Greenberg. She is the author of a book called “Creative Acts for Curious People. How to Think, Create and Lead in Unconventional Ways.’’ A quote from the book sums it up: “In an era of ambiguous, messy problems, as well as extraordinary opportunities for positive change, it’s vital to have both an inquisitive mind and the ability to act with intention. This book is filled with ways to build those skills with resilience, care, and confidence.”

Many of us spend years chasing success, believing that if we achieve enough, we’ll finally feel fulfilled. But what happens when we arrive at the destination and still feel empty?

In this insightful conversation, our guest Megan Hellerer — former Google executive, executive coach, and author —shares the emotional reality behind high achievement, burnout, identity loss, and the search for a more meaningful life.

Megan shares the story of leaving Google without a plan and explains how that difficult transition ultimately led her to create a new framework for navigating life through curiosity, alignment, and what she calls “directional living.”

Hence the name of her new book… Directional Living: A Transformational Guide to Fulfillment in Work and Life.

If you’ve ever questioned your career path, struggled with uncertainty, or felt disconnected despite outward success, this episode offers both reassurance and practical guidance for finding your way back to yourself. One of my favorite quotes from our conversation…

“Curiosity and joy are the best proxies we have for purpose.”

In this episode, I sit down with holistic chiropractor, Dr. Bradley Nelson to explore the connection between trapped emotions, chronic healing and what he refers to as subconscious healing and the energetic intelligence of the body. He shares his own personal healing story that inspired his interest in energy healing, and then dives into the philosophy behind his books, the Emotion Code, The Body Code and the Heart Code. His belief is that unresolved emotional energy can wreak havoc on our bodies…causing what he believes are heart walls that block love and connection. 

This one is for you if you believe in the power of prayer and your subconscious mind. It may be controversial for some…but see what you think. He unpacks how subconscious patterns may influence healing, why symptoms can be messages instead of problems to suppress, and how practices like kinesiology, energy medicine, and emotional release try to help people reconnect with their bodies’ innate wisdom.
