Unveiling the Beast

What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! In this episode, I sat down with Melani and it was like holding up a mirror to the way we love, avoid, cling, or push away in relationships. We unpacked the four main attachment styles: secure, anxious, avoidant, and fearful, and how they get wired into us through childhood experiences and even later trauma. What I loved most about this conversation is th...

What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! In this episode, Dylan Foss returns to share his full story: from growing up the youngest of five and falling in love with sports, to navigating serious injuries, studying athletic training, and eventually building his own brand, Limitless Theory.

What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! In this episode, I sit down with Bethany Kovo to explore what health really means beyond the surface level.

Bethany shares her own journey from high school food rules and body image struggles to...

What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! My conversation with Kelley Tyan was such a powerful reminder that health isn’t about chasing the smallest body, it’s about leading yourself well from the inside out. Kelley opened up about the highs of winning four bikini competitions and the lows that followed: disordered eating, body shame, and the mental crash of trying to maintain an unrealistic stan...

What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! Sitting down with Debbie Compton felt like divine timing for me. We dug into the real, messy, beautiful truth about caregiving: the exhaustion, the guilt, the humor, and the small moments of dignity that matter so much. I kept finding myself circling back to my own mom as she cares for my stepdad, and to my own role caring for my dad, realizing how often...

What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! In this episode of Unveiling the Beast , I sit down with life and transformational coach Susan Goodson to talk about pain, healing, and the lessons we don’t choose but desperately need. Susan shares how growing up in an alcoholic home shaped her, why she silenced her voice for so long, and how decades of leadership in Mary Kay pushed her toward her true c...

What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! In this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of talking with Dr. Jeannie May, whose story blew me away. She shared her near-death experience during the birth of her first child, which completely shifted how she saw life, medicine, and what it means to truly heal. That moment cracked her open to the fact that there’s more to this world than the rigid, scie...

What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! In this episode, I sat down with Chad Austin. Trainer, author, and fellow believer that fitness should work with your life, not against it. Chad opened up about how movement became his best medicine after growing up with social anxiety and depression. What started as a detour from teaching turned into his life’s mission: helping people make fitness fit ev...

For most of my life, I was told my body was a problem that needed fixing … by my grandmother, by doctors, by diet culture, and eventually by me. I internalized that shame early, using food to cope before I even knew what coping meant. I was seven when emotional eating started, ten when I was handed a prescription for a now-banned diet drug, and not long after that, I was fully enrolled in the toxi...

What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! In this episode, I sat down with Butch Phelps, a brilliant muscle nerd who blew my mind with how much our pain, posture, and even our emotions are connected. He explained how muscle tension isn’t just physical; it’s emotional. Stress, anxiety, and anger? They literally twist your muscles like rubber bands. And get this: the spot where you feel pain often...

She helps business owners stop bleeding money, reclaim...

What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! This week on the Unveiling the Beast podcast, I sat down with Katie Sorensen, a nurse practitioner and owner of Weight Loss NP, to dig into one of the most misunderstood topics on the internet right now: GLP-1 medications.

What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! This week’s episode hit me deep in the heart (and the joints, let’s be real) because we’re talking about something most people avoid until it’s knocking on their door: retirement . But not the “save money, buy an RV, wave goodbye to your coworkers” kind. I sat down with Wendy Leggett, founder of Conflux Retirement Coaching, and we cracked open what it rea...

Libby brought her brilliance as a therapist and intuitive eating counselor, and together we explored what it means to make he...

What up, Beasts! Welcome back to the show! When I sat down with Sri Mahabir, I expected a conversation about content and strategy, but what I got was a full-on masterclass in authenticity, grief, growth, and grit. Sri didn’t just fall into social media management. She resisted the label until her life and business quite literally demanded it. From helping people get camera-ready to building strate...

What up, Beasts! This episode is a special one. I got to sit down with my first couple guests, Brian and Erica McKay, and let me tell you, they brought the realness. We went deep into what it means to do relationship work from the inside out because these two didn’t just read the books and slap a coaching title on their IG bios. Nope. They lived it. From divorces and betrayal to repeating old patt...

She opened up about the slump she hit after her son left the house and how hiring a coach helped her r...

What up, Beasts. This conversation with Shaté lit my soul on fire. From the moment we met, it felt like two introverted empaths met at a crossroads of “I love people” and “Please don’t talk to me.” Shaté is this wildly wise, soft-spoken powerhouse who helps people build careers from the inside out. She shared how her own health, and we’re talking mental, emotional, and spiritual here, was deeply i...

So y’all know I’m a sucker for a good “know thyself” moment, and Dominic came in hot with a masterclass on self-mastery, curiosity, and the very real power of actually liking yourself. We talked about how most of us have been taught to look outside ourselves for approval, instruction, and even identity, and how the real work (the delicious, messy, glorious work) is in turning inward. Dominic broke...
