How do you create your dream life? Can tough times provide fuel to help you find your passion? I talked Jessica Michelle Singleton about how she got to where she is today - and how her comedy promotes healing. Jessica has been a force in the comedy world for the past half a decade. She was most recently seen in the Showtime docuseries, "The Comedy Store" about the world famous club on Sunset Blvd where comedians like Robin Williams, David Letterman, and Richard Pryor got their starts. Her second comedy album, "Horny for Death" just debuted at #1 on iTunes and Amazon, making this her second #1 album. She's raw and hilarious. Her honest stream-of-consciousness style of delivery keeps audiences cracking up while feeling seen for all the normal human "flaws" we tend to run from.

The world would have you believe that losing weight is easy, but the truth is, in many cases, you're being fed a generous helping of falsehoods and misguided dieting advice. The media, celebrities, weight-loss gurus, and the Internet bombard society with recommendations about how to shed unwanted pounds: Count calories, cut carbs, exercise more, skip meals, drink more water, pop a pill. Yet as more people try diligently to follow this advice, waistlines continue to expand. Today's Guest: Robert J. Davis, PhD, also known as The Healthy Skeptic, is an award-winning health journalist whose work has appeared on TIME, CNN, PBS, WebMD, and in The Wall Street Journal. The author of three previous books on health, he hosts the “Healthy Skeptic” video series, which dissects the science behind popular health claims.

Pain serves a purpose. It pinpoints where our limits lie. It helps us grow stronger and more resilient. But sometimes it overstays its welcome, interfering with our quality of life. While medication, surgeries, and other invasive treatments are all options on the table, sometimes the solution to controlling and eliminating pain lies in understanding the human body – i.e., where the buttons are and create balance or alignment using non-invasive techniques.

Resistance training might be an aging girl's best friend. We talk with Mike Pullano, the Chief Product Officer at ARX (Adaptive Resistance Exercise), who recommends resistance training as a key part of aging gracefully—and for good reasons. Mikes insists that resistance training is a fundamental part of health. It is arguably the first line of defense against muscle loss.

If you are struggling with emotional eating, you'll want to listen to this episode. Cassie Christopher says, "...to anyone out there who is struggling with making the right choices... it's not your fault. There's nothing wrong with you. You're not lazy. You don't have a self-control problem. You don't have a willpower problem. That's the shaming message given to you by diet culture, but there are real reasons for why you're using food to cope with your emotions, to numb how you feel." Guest, Cassie Christopher, who  is a body-positive Registered Dietitian, is passionate about helping women 45+ heal emotional eating by loving themselves well. She supports her clients to create unapologetic self-care practices from a sense of connection to their bodies and desires, so they feel comfortable in their own skin, in control around food and energized to live a life they love. We covered so much ground talking about nutrition and emotional eating, including how to STOP dieting. Christopher says, "It's an expression of self love, of self care, which is something that we're often disconnected from when we've had years and decades of dieting." ***  Connect with Cassie: FREE - A Roadmap to Achieve Peace and Freedom with Food and to Feel Comfortable In Your Own Skin, for Women over 45 Who Have Tried it All - https://cassiechristopher.net/Free Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cassiechristopherrd/   *** Episode Sponsor: Iris Digital Media Group  Iris Digital Media Group helps world changers, small businesses, podcasters, and speakers gain momentum for their mission and monetize their message.

In the spirit of new beginnings, of forging a new path, of creating our own opportunities, I interviewed Monica Ortega, who I believe is the perfect person to help us as we start to come out of a wild 13 months that created disruption, causing most of us to pivot in some way.  Monica Ortega is a professional on-camera host, author, speaker, and actress who created the travel show called Monica Goes back in 2014 to inspire others to break out of their comfort zones and go on adventures. She claims to be afraid of everything, and says she'll put herself through almost anything to show that if an average everyday person like her can do these things, anyone can. Monica emcees at some of the biggest music festivals in the nation, has been seen in over 20 commercials, and is the co-host on the podcast Stumblin' Forward. She recently published her first book "The Power of Pivoting - How to Embrace Change and Create a Life You Love”. Her goal is to inspire others to face their fears, break out of their comfort zones, and learn to lean into the pivot. You can learn more about Monica, her book, and her shows at the following links: www.powerofpivoting.com https://www.monicagoes.com/   *** Episode Sponsor: Iris Digital Media Group  Iris Digital Media Group helps small businesses with social media strategy and content creation to help small business owners shine a light on their big ideas.

On her website, Becky Mollenkamp says, "Your thoughts aren't trash. Your feelings aren't toxic. Failing to get rich isn't because you don't push enough or believe enough... You can't just think yourself happy. Stress, fear, and overwhelm aren't mind trash or trolls. Your struggles aren't a personality defect. Your challenges aren't character flaws. Your problems aren't mental or moral shortcomings." This fresh approach is what made me want to interview Becky. She's an ICF-certified life coach with hundreds of hours of experience who helps people believe in and love themselves, let go of "shoulds" and feel more confident and worthy. She's the host of the Gutsy Boss podcast and has a coaching community by the same name.  We covered "hitting the wall" in running and life, and she suggested a new way to look at the wall. We talked about changing jobs, self care, and about how women and girls are conditioned to believe their needs come second.

Are you a woman who has been passed up for promotions? Are you sick of watching others get the advancement opportunities you deserve? Are you tired of working for bad bosses? Then you'll want to hear what Rochelle Marie has to say in this episode.  We talked about courage, confidence, how bosses should be engaging their staff if they are working virtually, the concept of "embody it until you become it," and more. Rochelle Marie has worked her way from entry level roles to leadership positions twice (once after a 12 year career gap to raise her children) without pretending to be someone she's not or sacrificing her family.

With her degree Psychology, Post Grad Dip. in Career development and education and her entrepreneurial/intrapreneurial spirit, she now empowers and inspires women to get their leadership role where they can make a difference.

What kind of person spends 20 years developing a new running shoe technology? I wanted to get to know the person behind the latest running shoe to hit the market and understand what he believes makes this shoe superior to others he's tried. Lenn Hann is the founder of Hann Shoes. He became interested in running shoes after he started to run recreationally in college. Since then, he has run 21 marathons and has been involved in the local Chicago Area Runners Association (CARA) as a group leader and has trained hundreds of people to run marathons. Through this experience, he dealt with many different types of injuries and discovered a variety of issues that people have when wearing running shoes. These experiences inspired an insatiable desire to bring a better running shoe to market. Lenn has spent the last 20 years researching and developing the carbon composite suspension technology for the Hann Shoes design. Lenn launched a kickstarter campaign to fund the production of the shoes and to start getting them into people's hands.   Resources from this episode: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hannshoes/hann-shoes-carbon-fiber-suspension-technology https://www.hannshoes.com/   *** Episode Sponsor: Iris Digital Media Group  Iris Digital Media Group helps small businesses with social media strategy and content creation to help small business owners shine a light on their big ideas.

Our country is divided, and over the next few days and weeks, a significant number of people will be angry or disappointed… or even feel hopeless... because the election didn’t go the way they wanted it to.

And because all our challenges require so much effort, we forget to reflect on all the really good things. However, inside every struggle, there are opportunities to be grateful, if we take the time to change our focus. A regular gratitude practice really does enhance your life and make you more resilient. In addition, gratitude can enhance satisfaction with life, improve physical and mental health, reduce symptoms of burnout, decrease stress hormones, and have a positive effect on inflammation and cardiac disease.
