SHOCK & Y’ALL

Dr. Catharine Arnston PhD, MBA joins me to share how her sister’s cancer diagnosis led her from a corporate career into more than 15 years of algae nutrition research. We talk about spirulina, chlorella, plant-based nutrition, cellular energy, and why she believes these tiny tablets deserve far more attention. Catharine also explains the differences between the two types of algae, how she built En...

Someone is teaching our boys what it means to be a man, and if parents are not paying attention, it may be the internet. I’m joined by Alex Greaner, author of Who’s Raising Your Son? , for an honest conversation about the algorithms, influencers, and cultural messages shaping young men today. We talk about Alex’s troubled teenage years, the question that changed his life, and why masculinity must...

This episode is a very real life update about the day I ended up in the emergency room with atrial fibrillation. I thought I was simply tired, busy, and pushing through another packed weekend. Instead, my body was telling me something was seriously off. I’m sharing exactly what AFib felt like, the combination of factors that may have triggered it, and why midlife requires a new level of awareness....

In this episode, I’m talking with Mike Hammond, founder of Signal Relief, about a pain relief patch that honestly sounds almost too simple to be real, until you hear the stories behind it. Mike shares how technology originally connected to defence industry communications became a wearable tool designed to help the body deal with pain signals differently. We talk chronic pain, inflammation, veteran...

In this episode, I’m joined by Dawn Jackson “DJ” Blatner, a registered dietitian and energy expert who somehow makes nutrition feel less like homework and more like your funniest, smartest friend giving you permission to enjoy your life. We talk about food fear, protein, metabolism, perimenopause, joy, and why your health plan should not make you feel like a full-time wellness hostage. DJ shares h...

Hey y’all. Today I’m talking with Katy Rexing, a meditation teacher, podcast host, chef, mother of four, yogi, and lifelong student of what it actually means to feel well. Katy shares how she went from holding everything together on the outside while feeling like a total hot mess on the inside, to building a daily meditation practice that helped her come back to herself. We talk about people pleas...

In this episode, I’m joined by Jen Hamilton, Emmy-nominated choreographer, dancer, producer, studio owner, mother of two and one of the most grounded powerhouses I know. We go way back, so yes, there are stories from the early dance days, but this conversation is really about what it takes to build a creative career that lasts. We talk about dance, Hollywood sets, mentorship, motherhood, midlife,...

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Sasha Hakman, double board-certified OB-GYN, reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist. She is brilliant, deeply human, and somehow manages to explain fertility, IVF, hormones and reproductive medicine in a way that feels empowering instead of wildly overwhelming, which is honestly a gift. We talk about IVF, infertility, egg freezing, genetic testin...

In this episode, I’m joined by Peter McLaughlin, certified hypnotherapist, life coach and founder of Blue Sky Hypnosis. Peter has helped thousands of people work with the subconscious patterns quietly running the show, but what makes his work hit differently is that he has lived some serious chapters himself, including leukemia, Lyme disease and 15 years as a firefighter and EMT. We talk about hyp...

In this solo episode, I’m talking to my mamas. Mother’s Day was already on my mind, and then a random trip to the dog park turned into one of those weirdly perfect divine timing moments that makes you go, “Okay, I see what’s happening here.” New mom, tiny baby, French bulldog, lactation consultant from 13 years ago, the whole thing. This episode is about motherhood, surrender, faith, emotional out...

In this solo episode, I’m sharing my personal experience with peptides, what they are, how I’ve used them, and why they’ve made such a big difference in the way I feel. I talk about GHK-Cu, BPC-157, and CJC-1295, what they are meant to support, and what I’ve noticed in my own body through recovery, sleep, training, and healing. This is not a medical deep dive, and it is definitely not advice from...

In this solo episode, I’m talking about the kind of prayer that feels powerful, honest, and a little terrifying. I share a deeply personal story about dating, gut instinct, and the moment I prayed for something to be removed from my life if it was not truly meant for me. What followed was fast, sharp, and impossible to ignore. This conversation is about faith, surrender, and the discomfort that ca...

In this episode, I’m joined by Keegan Downer for a fascinating, honest conversation about mushrooms, mental health, and what healing can look like when the usual paths are not enough. We talk about trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, and how Keegan’s own story led him from deep personal struggle into building Mindful Meds and helping other people explore new possibilities for support and growt...

In this episode, I’m joined by Sam and Ash, founders of The Unfiltered Life Co for a real, funny, and deeply honest conversation about healing, identity, and what it actually means to feel your life instead of just performing it. We talk about the heart behind our April 18 event, but this goes way beyond logistics. It is really about the stories we carry, the labels we pick up, and the survival pa...

In this episode, I’m joined by two of my best friends, Sam Warner and Ashley Chaney, for a lively, honest conversation about the April 18 Sweat, Stillness and Feel event in Torrance, California. What starts as a chat about the event quickly turns into something bigger, why midlife can feel so confusing, why so many women are stuck in survival mode, and why being in the right room with the right pe...

In this episode, I’m joined by Eva Hooft for a fascinating conversation about what it really means to heal at the root. We talk about chronic health struggles, nervous system overload, gut issues, mineral balance, and why doing all the “right” wellness things can still leave you feeling terrible when the deeper picture is being missed. We also get into parasites, trauma, emotional release, and Ava...

In this episode, I’m joined by David Gerber for one of those conversations that grabs you by the shoulders and wakes you up. We talk about lion tracking, heartbreak, leadership, courage, and the kind of aliveness that can only happen when you stop sleepwalking through your own life. David shares how a devastating divorce became the turning point that led him into the wild, and eventually into deep...

Oh hey y'all. In this episode, myself and Laura Conley are talking about something that sounds simple, but can seriously change how we live, work, and show up, scheduling rest and fun like they actually matter. Because they do. We get honest about hustle culture, guilt, productivity, and why so many of us treat joy like it has to be earned first. We also get into presence, parenting, and what happ...

This surprise solo episode came straight from the heart. After a conversation in my monthly group about how hard it can feel to justify spending money on yourself, especially as a woman, especially as a caretaker, I had to press record. We’re talking about chronic stress, identity expansion, and why a retreat is not indulgent, it’s medicine. I share the science behind rest, neuroplasticity, and ho...

Oh hey y’all. This conversation with Michelle Doan stopped me in my tracks. After fleeing Vietnam with her family in 1979, Michelle grew up as an immigrant in Canada and later California, struggling with cystic acne and the insecurities that came with it. What began as a personal battle to heal her own skin transformed into a lifelong mission to help others feel confident in theirs. From escaping...

Oh hey y’all. This conversation with Jason Shurka stretched me in the best way. We talk about his near death experiences, surviving serious injuries, and how that journey led him into The Light System Technology and the creation of UNIFYD Healing centers around the world. If you’ve ever felt curious about the intersection of science and spirituality, this one is going to light you up. We break dow...

Hey y’all. This episode is equal parts science, honesty, and real talk. I’m joined by Michelle Kilduff, a peptide performance coach who cuts through the hype and explains what actually makes peptides work in real life. We talk about GLP-1s, recovery peptides, longevity, and why so many people are disappointed when they expect injections to do all the heavy lifting. Michelle shares why behavior, fu...

Oh hey y’all. I have wanted to have this conversation for a long time, and Dr. Scott Sherr absolutely delivered. We get into what mitochondria actually do, why almost all of us are dealing with some level of dysfunction, and how energy production sits at the center of mental clarity, recovery, stress resilience, and overall health. This is one of those episodes that completely shifts how you think...

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...

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 subtl...
