Turmeric and Tequila™

LOL… laugh out loud. Love out loud. Live out loud. All the things, out loud. If you know me, out loud is a comfort zone:), mostly because I naturally have no volume control. Perhaps my creator knew I'd have a podcast one day? (Thank you God, Madonna, glitter, and tequila)… Who knows, but what I do know, after MANY years of uncomfortable biz, sports, personal, and life conversations- humor can save...

When the universe quits encouraging you to follow your heart and finally makes you... this cast is about a conscious career change that highlights one person's journey to his most purposeful space:) On this cast I sit down with long time lax and fitness fam brother, Dave Loudenslager. We have known each other for over ten years, both played lacrosse and then both got swooped into CrossFit and weig...

If you are in health and wellness, you know at this point it's not just about diet and exercise. It's about a full, well rounded approach to how you live and how you consume. Fitness, nutrition, sleep, mindfulness… and now toxins! Who knew there was more to worry about? Until recently, we let the majority of our purchasing behaviors be steered by our family and friend (our immediate environment ak...

I believe in the power of communication and conversation. And, I believe in the necessity of uncomfortable conversation. If we can breakdown walls, we can breakthrough with evolution. Besides, looking the other way is so 1990. Like fitness, you tear down the muscle (workout) for it to grow back stronger #itsscience.  On this cast I sit down with the founders and creators of the Dear White Women Po...

HOT CUP .... it's now a thing. Be ready. This one is a little different! I sit down with two BFF's to dig into some HOT topics and share our general opinions around whatever topic gets pulled out of the cup... and I mean WHATEVER topic. How it works: before the convo we each wrote down "topics to discuss" and then put them all in a cup. From there we each pull out a topic one by one and discuss. I...

To drink or not to drink? In a social world (literally and digitally), alcohol is EVERYWHERE! You probably don't even notice all things alcohol is involved with until you stop drinking- for the night, the year, or forever. You drink to celebrate, to mourn, to relax… there is even alcohol at church. When we know all the negative effects of alcohol, why do we not only drink it, but drink it alongsid...

Spiritually basic!? Naa, not at all, BUT all of the animals on my cards DID have blowouts- I can't make this up:) Calling all witches, warlocks, scientists, and believers… this is a good one:). I am a strong believer in accountability, mostly from yourself, and then from the people/communities your respect the most around you. SO, I decided to have my cards read on air by longtime, friend, fellow...

Rhonda Kelly, Founder of  ResponderStrong  and Director of Health, Wellness & Resilience for Global Medical Response...

The first cast of 2020 and we are coming in HOT! SO appreciate this cast as Tim shares a detailed journey thus far from being a high school water polo stud, scouts honor (he was a Boy Scout too:), to him chasing the drive to serve which eventually lands him at the Naval Academy. The Naval Academy is not only one of the toughest schools to get into, it's one of the toughest to stay at... and he pus...

2020, we HERE! Before we jump into the new year, let's take a somewhat quick look back... ok, it's a long one, but worth it. Myself and my 3 friends; Ashley, Shelly, and Zach, breakdown a month by month review of 2019. The best way to move forward is to glance back and take note on what happened and how. From there we evolve… AND laugh a bit too, hopefully. We highlight everything from major world...

Happy Holidays... end of the year check in effect! This is another solo cast- just me and all of you:) I am going to start doing mini CHECK IN casts throughout the year as each of our personal evolution (and resolutions) are an ever changing and fluid process. I know it's important to pull back every once in a while, and really look at what is going on, internally and externally. This cast I am ac...

CORE VALUES... your subconscious core beliefs, your very own unique filter for your world and experience. Why you think the way you do, why certain things matter to you and why certain things don't. Listen in to this cast to unpack that even more as it's the base point to finding our true happiness. Happiness, also subjective:).   I spoke about my core values on "The Why" cast, aka the last cast,...

Well, we are 17 casts in, so now seems like a good time to dive into THE WHY!?! :) Why am I doing a podcast?... I keep this one pretty quick. Just me sharing my main goal, "To inspire positive, radical social evolution", with you. How do I do that? Create a platform (this cast) for all varsity humans to share their journey, speak their truth, and enlighten the rest of the world with how they quest...

Building an empire… to give it all away?! Precisely, with a job outside of your gender role please. We don't want if it's too easy #tupac :). The larger order circled one of my fave varsity (literally), Grandview Highschool laxers that I coached about 10 years ago (I know- soul botox!!), back into my world on this one, Maddy Fauth. Maddy is an entrepreneur/ business owner and she brought her good...

Ellise, PHD… in academics, humor, experience, and life. And we cover it all on this one. It was day 3 of Be Golden Conference and we just so happen to find the perfect recipe for a 2.5 hour laugh packed and passion filled podcast (write this down, Grandma said so): knowledge + education + persistence + patients + libations + the past + the future + tangents = pure gold and some noteworthy life les...

MEANINGFUL CONVO ALERT:) Yes, EVERY cast is so very meaningful AND this one in particular is a necessary PSA for everyone. The world is evolving and this convo is proof (we have some work to do tho).

All things CBD! We cover all the good questions you SHOULD ask before you purchase something you're about to put into your body...mind, and spirit! Being a Colorado native, you'd think KO knows a lot about CBD and anything to do with weed in general, not so! KO sits down with Erba Essentials Founder, Briana Austin, and covers everything from sourcing, to dosage, to stigma around CBD. Did you know...

This is the first of the Be Golden Podcast Series... that's right, had the pleasure of doing 5 casts in 3 days with some incredible speakers, attendees, and hosts of the 2019 Be Golden Conference in Bloomington, Indiana.  --- On this first one we check back in with Sara McInerney- our first, 2nd time guest:)! The timing could not be more perfect. On our first cast with Sara and The Chloe Barnes, w...

HEART FULL! This cast takes us down memory lane...running in sweat pants , holding a Natty Light, late to class and/or practice. Priceless memories, experiences, and relationships that have paved our foundation for "adulthood". . . Yes, this one is about colligate athletics! To be or not to be a student athlete? KO shares convo, laughs, and tequila (cuz we grown-ish now) with collegiate classmates...

  Oooooooh we spill some tea on this one! KO sits down with Ashley Knight, Colorado native, business owner, and all around life advice giver... and more importantly LISTENER!

We getting to life as we know it and how fitness has played a major role in the journey- from training, to career inspiration, to self-discovery, to sacrifice.

KO and LONG-time lax homie, Katie G., sit down to discuss bleeding the brand- for yourself, your team, and your business.
