Oh hey y’all.

This episode is one of those conversations where you feel seen, called out and deeply reassured all at once.

I’m joined by Dr Sienna Olson, and honestly, this one goes everywhere it needs to go. We talk about strength training as identity, nervous system regulation for high performing women, and why so many of us are doing everything “right” but still feel exhausted and disconnected from our bodies.

We also get into disordered eating, burnout, hormones, spirituality without bypassing the body, and what it actually looks like to lead yourself instead of fighting yourself.

This is about performance and peace, science and soul, and learning to listen to your body instead of bullying it into submission.

Highlights:

(01:41) Why high achieving women feel burnt out even when they’re doing all the right things

(06:47) The hidden cost of extreme dieting and overtraining

(17:06) Strength training as identity, not just aesthetics

(22:40) Simple nervous system regulation that actually works

(29:21) Spirituality without bypassing the body

(38:47) Peptides, hype, healing and what to know before jumping in

I’m joined by evidential medium Barbra Banner, and this conversation is equal parts comforting, hilarious, and honestly kind of mind-blowing.

Barbra shares how her mediumship kicked off with lights, orbs, and objects doing the absolute most, then turned into a calling she couldn’t ignore.

We talk grief, why humor can be a real bridge to healing, and what it looks like when “signs” stop being subtle. Plus, Barbra leads a simple little exercise you can try in real time, and yes, I’m already waiting on my rosebud.

Highlights:

(04:39) - The moment spirit started getting loud: flashing lights, orbs, and a photo flying off the mantel

(08:52) - Her morning routine with guides, angels, and “Gumby arms” energy

(10:48) - The best advice for skeptics: stand up and do 10 jumping jacks

(13:39) - The Outlander sign that hit way too close to home

(20:09) - My real talk on grief, asking for signs, and getting answers fast

(37:24) - The “rosebud” challenge, and how to spot what spirit drops into your head

Hey y’all.

Okay, I’m just going to say it, my palms were sweating before we even started recording, because we’re talking money. Not the cute “budget tips” version, the real stuff: shame, comparison, resentment, and the sneaky little stories we tell ourselves when we feel behind.

I’m joined by Jade Warshaw from the Ramsey team, and she’s the friend who will tell you the truth, then help you take the next step without spiraling.

We get into why money hits so deep, how to stop turning mistakes into your identity, and how progress actually happens, little by little, even when you’re annoyed about it.

Highlights:

(03:07) - Jade hears the intro and goes, “Holy smokes”, instant bestie energy

(04:00) - “Budget” as a bad word, and how scarcity stories start early

(15:13) - The Ramsey Baby Steps, plus what they really feel like in real life

(21:21) - Regret vs guilt vs shame, and when a mistake turns into an identity

(31:32) - Financial envy and the Tesla effect, life is a race, but not against other people

(46:41) - Where to find Jade and her book, and the official “we’re best friends” moment

Hey y’all.

Today I’m sitting down with Megan Lanford, founder of Points to Paradise, and I’m not being dramatic when I say this conversation messed with my brain in the best way.

If you’ve ever assumed luxury travel equals debt, trust funds, or “I’m just not that kind of person,” Megan is about to flip that story.

We talk beginner cards, how to keep it simple (no spreadsheet nightmare), and how to turn groceries and gas into real trips. Also, the moment she shares what points can actually buy, I basically start planning a vacation mid episode.

Highlights:

(02:29) - “Surprise, it’s not debt, it’s strategy,” the luxury travel reality check

(07:17) - The easiest first move, one beginner card, pay it off monthly, done

(09:51) - Business cards aren’t just for CEOs, and why the bonuses are bigger

(13:41) - The biggest lie, you do not need to spend a fortune to earn serious points

(19:14) - From “free trip” to five star resorts, first class flights, and a $7,000 room on points

(31:07) - The Hawaii trip that made everyone cry, and why this becomes a family legacy

This solo cast was such a joy to record, because I am ending 2025 with a fire in my chest about what actually shapes our lives.

I dive into the truth that your habits are profiling you every single day and that discipline is really about having an identity so clear you stop negotiating with your feelings. I talk about timelines, personal responsibility, the habits I have made non negotiable and the real shifts that happened when I stopped treating my future self like a stranger.

I break down the practices that have changed my body, my mindset and my nervous system this year, from lifting heavy to creatine to peptides to sleep optimization to meditation to walking and, yes, fun. I share how these choices have rewired my confidence, sharpened my intuition and helped me keep the gains I have worked so hard for.

This episode is equal parts science, spirituality and loving kick in the ass, because you are far more in control than you think. The life you want is built from the habits you keep.

Highlights:

(01:15) The truth about timelines and why my habits were deciding my future

(04:30) The identity shift that makes discipline easier than feelings

(06:40) Weightlifting, confidence and the moment I realized my body had changed

(10:19) Creatine, peptides and the longevity practices I swear by

(12:55) Sleep, meditation and the seven minute gratitude rule

(15:11) Why walking, movement and fun have become my secret sauce

Hey y’all.

This solo episode came straight from my heart and a little bit from my nerves, because every time I hit record alone, I wonder if I actually know what I am doing. But as we approach the end of 2025, one theme keeps shouting at me from every angle. We are living through an apocalypse of average, and it is time to wake up.

I talk about the ways complacency sneaks into our lives, how autopilot becomes our default and why it is a tragedy to treat yourself like someone ordinary when you are anything but.

I share the ideas and moments that cracked me open this year, including something Kathy Heller said that shook me to my core. You are a piece of the master. You are a masterpiece. I explore how miracles show up when our nervous system is regulated, how movement and meditation unlock clarity and why repeating the same tired stories keeps us stuck.

This episode is a call to stop negotiating for scraps, stop settling for leftovers and start choosing the path that feels brave, aligned and alive.

Highlights:

(01:10) Why the end of 2025 pushed me to question complacency

(03:22) The shift that happens when you realise you were never meant to be average

(05:55) The Kathy Heller quote that cracked me wide open

(08:48) How meditation and nervous system work prepare you for miracles

(10:58) Why repeating old stories keeps you stuck in patterns

(12:40) One choice you can make today to break the cycle of average

Y’all, this one lit me up.

Talking with Chris felt like having someone finally hand me the manual for relationships that we all swear should exist, but no one ever gives us.

He has this wildly grounded way of explaining attachment, self regulation, and emotional safety that makes you stop and go - Oh wait, that’s me. And that’s my ex. And that’s the pattern I swear I’m not repeating anymore.

This episode is honest, eye opening, and surprisingly comforting.

If you’ve ever wondered why you keep attracting the same type, or why certain dynamics feel so familiar, Chris breaks it all down in a way that just hits.

I left this conversation feeling clearer, lighter, and honestly a little called out in the best possible way.

Highlights:

(03:12) The four attachment styles

(12:45) Why 60 percent of healthy relationships come from self regulation

(22:18) The first big non negotiable emotional safety and why it matters

(33:02) Why anxious and avoidant types keep finding each other

(45:10) A simple way to tell the difference between intuition and anxiety

(55:41) How secure people rebound faster
