Your body already knows what season it is—and it’s asking for warmth, steadiness, and a gentler rhythm. We sit down with breath worker and Ayurvedic counselor Brett Aldrich to unpack how the five elements and three doshas can guide everyday choices as we move from winter’s dry winds to spring’s heavier, wetter mood. Instead of chasing trends or rigid plans, we dig into why agni (your digestive fire) is the quiet engine behind energy, mood, and immunity—and how warm water, cooked food, and the right spices can keep it strong.

We move from first principles to the plate: brothy soups that hydrate, mineral-rich vegetable stock with seaweed, tender root vegetables, and the smart addition of bitter greens as days lengthen. Brett breaks down the pungent taste—ginger, black pepper, mustard seed, and a careful pinch of cayenne—to lift kapha heaviness without overwhelming pitta heat. We talk practical swaps like trading iced drinks for spiced tea, choosing a larger midday meal when digestion peaks, and using cardamom or cinnamon in warm milk for evening calm. If you’ve wondered whether online dosha quizzes are helpful, we compare quick checks to working with a practitioner and share how to listen for your body’s real-time signals either way.

This conversation is grounded, kind, and immediately usable. Whether you’re feeling wired and cold or heavy and foggy, you’ll leave with a short list of foods, spices, and movement ideas that meet you where you are. We also explore mindful eating—starting digestion before the first bite through smell, touch, and pace—and simple rituals to come back to yourself when life turns loud. If seasonal living, nervous system care, and better digestion sound good, hit play, try one change this week, and tell us what shifts for you.

What if leadership had nothing to do with your title and everything to do with how you show up? We sit down with leadership coach and author Bill Goodwin to reframe leadership as influence. Bill’s story of a near-death experience catalyzed his framework, Priority Living, and his practical take on purpose: give the best of what you have to help others.

We dig into the building blocks of purpose—your natural advantage, acquired skills, pull passions, and origin strengths—and why clarity precedes peace and success. Bill explains how purpose doesn’t flip, it evolves, shifting audiences and vehicles as your capacity grows. We connect that evolution to mindset and the body, from breathwork that widens your window of tolerance to small reps that expand what you believe is possible. Expect vivid stories: holding your breath longer than your mind thinks you can, breaking a board by aligning belief and form, and the power of simple phrases like “I believe in you” and “I’m proud of you.”

By the end, you’ll have a felt sense of alignment as calm, steady motion—not stillness—and a set of tools to lead yourself first: choose priorities, schedule around them, grow your lid, and serve others with your best. If you’re looking for leadership development, personal growth strategies, purpose clarity, and capacity-building practices you can apply today, this conversation delivers.

Loss doesn’t only arrive as a funeral—sometimes it looks like the life you planned but didn’t live, a dream that quietly expired, or a version of yourself that never showed up. With author and grief coach Marcia Earhart, we open a wider door to grief and talk about how to move through pain without letting it swallow your future. Marcia shares the story behind her book, Gripping Grace In The Garden Of Grief, and the practices that helped her feel deeply, release safely, and still choose joy.

We dig into the difference between grieving with hope and being consumed by despair, and the subtle signs that grief is starting to define your choices. Marcia breaks down practical tools: crying and vocal release without causing harm, journaling to God, movement as medicine, and thought hygiene that supports the nervous system.

Marcia also introduces the Sterling Rose Sanctuary, a nonprofit serving clients online across the U.S. and abroad, integrating heart-healing, trauma-informed coaching, and brain health strategies. From parts work to art and music therapy to nutrition that calms inflammation, the focus is whole-person care that helps you return to joy more steadily. If you’ve ever felt “lonely” but not alone, or worried that feeling emotion would break you, this conversation offers grounded hope, language for your experience, and next steps you can take today.

If this resonated, share it with someone who needs it, subscribe for new episodes, and leave a review to help others find the show. Your story matters—and you can breathe, create, and live again.
