Ever wondered what actually happens to your assets—or your kids—if something happens to you after divorce? Most divorced moms assume everything will "just go where it's supposed to," but the truth is estate planning is one of the most important (and most overlooked) parts of protecting your future. In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm sitting down with attorney and wealth expert Lauren Klein to break down the mistakes divorced women don't even realize they're making when it comes to wills, trusts, guardianship, probate, prenups, and financial protection. Lauren explains what really happens if you don't update your estate plan, how to make sure your kids are protected, and what steps you should take right now to set up the future you want. If you've been divorced and have no idea where to start with protecting your money, your kids, or your future, then this episode is for you.

In this powerful coaching session, Christine supports Nina, a high-achieving woman who has learned to rely on herself since childhood—and now wonders why love feels so hard to receive. Despite years of healing and success, she finds herself attracting men who are kind but lack direction, and she struggles to understand whether her independence is strength or self-protection. Christine helps Nina uncover the difference between healthy masculine energy and overfunctioning rooted in trauma. Together, they explore how early loss and betrayal created hypervigilance, and how surrendering to trust—especially through a deeper spiritual relationship—can open the door to healthy, reciprocal love. If you've ever been told you're "too strong," or you find it easier to do everything yourself than to receive support, this episode will help you reframe that pattern with compassion and start allowing love in. Consider / Ask Yourself: Do you relate to overfunctioning or feeling like the one everyone relies on? Is receiving help or love uncomfortable for you? Do you believe you need to have everything handled to feel safe? Have you confused control with confidence or independence with strength? Key Insights and A-HAs: Overfunctioning is often a trauma response, not healthy masculine energy. When we've been hurt by men, we often project that hurt onto "the masculine" as a whole. Safety must come before surrender—your nervous system needs evidence that love can be safe. Healing happens in stages; each relationship can serve as a stepping stone toward healthy partnership. True surrender isn't weakness—it's a return to trust, faith, and divine alignment. How to Deepen the Work: Reflect on early memories that taught you to "handle it all" and what beliefs they created. Practice receiving in small, everyday ways (compliments, help, rest). Replace "I need to fix it" with "I'm open to support." Pray or journal: "God, help me align with my most loving and healthy match." Remember that trust—both spiritual and relational—is a muscle built over time.

In this deeply supportive session, Christine coaches Kelly, who is learning to open her heart to healthy love after leaving a toxic marriage. Kelly recently met someone kind and emotionally available—but her nervous system keeps sending mixed signals, leaving her wondering whether it's intuition or fear. Christine helps her understand how the body stores memories of past trauma, how to distinguish real red flags from old triggers, and how to gently retrain the nervous system to feel safe in love again. Together, they explore what integration looks like after healing work—when awareness turns into embodiment. If you've ever questioned your body's signals, struggled to trust love again, or feared repeating old patterns, this conversation will bring deep clarity and compassion. Consider / Ask Yourself: Do you mistake fear for intuition—or intuition for fear? Have past painful relationships made it hard to feel safe in love? Are you waiting to be "fully healed" before allowing intimacy in? How do you respond when someone truly shows up for you? Key Insights and A-HAs: The nervous system often reacts to memories, not the present moment. Fear can mean danger—or it can mean expansion. Integration is the bridge between awareness and embodiment. Healing doesn't mean fear disappears; it means you relate to it differently. Safe love can still feel unfamiliar—and that's okay. How to Deepen the Work: Journal about how your body reacts when someone is kind, consistent, or loving. Write down red flags from past relationships to clarify what's truly unsafe. Practice "titration": letting love in slowly, without judgment. Notice when your nervous system feels unsettled and speak to it with compassion. Remind yourself: you can feel fear and stay open to love. Sponsor: Cured Nutrition Need more energy and focus without the crash?

Olivia Amitrano — founder of Organic Olivia and now recording artist OLIVIA — returns to explore the art of reinvention, inner child healing, and overcoming the fear of the unknown. Olivia opens up about shedding the identity that built her success, rediscovering creativity through play, and learning to trust herself again after a period of deep change. She shares how solo travel, sobriety, and stillness led her back to her truest self, and how embracing imperfection and presence opened the door to her next evolution as an artist. Together, we discuss the courage it takes to outgrow old versions of yourself, why creative play is medicine, and how being present — not perfect — is the ultimate definition of living Ever Forward.

10k Steps. Often see as the gold standard for weight loss and fitness goals, but there's a caveat: Where your steps come from, matters. Many people have active jobs such as nurses, teachers, or manufacturing jobs - and that's great, but it doesn't replace the need to still do intentional cardio and strength training. This week, we dive into why!We also dive into a question Beth received about "only" losing a half of a pound every week and why it's your mindset and expectations that are needing to change, not the scale.Join our Patreon for monthly workouts, challenges, recipes, and to become part of the Cut The Crap Community!

Alex Conley has lived every phase of the wellness journey, from surviving childhood cancer to chasing fitness perfection to realizing that health isn't something you buy, it's something you build through integrity and awareness.

We're in the middle of a fertility crisis — and much of it traces back to the food we eat, the toxins we're exposed to, and the outdated prenatal nutrition advice women are still being given. In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Lily Nichols, RDN, CDE — bestselling author of Real Food for Pregnancy, Real Food for Gestational Diabetes, and Real Food for Fertility — to talk about what women really need before, during, and after pregnancy. We cover: Why preconception nutrition matters long before you try to conceive The nutrients that actually move the needle for fertility and pregnancy outcomes How to support detox pathways safely (even during pregnancy) The truth about gestational diabetes and the flawed glucose test Why postpartum depletion is so common — and how to rebuild your nutrient stores The emotional side of nourishment: guilt, cravings, perfectionism, and self-trust How traditional cultures cared for new mothers — and what we can learn from them Why our fertility crisis is a reflection of deeper environmental and societal breakdowns This episode isn't just for pregnant women — it's for anyone who wants to understand how we've drifted so far from real nourishment and what it looks like to return to it.

Your body doesn't have to look a certain way to be fit. In this episode, Matt and Beth call out body shaming in fitness culture and discuss how fitness doesn't have a 'look'.

Do you ever wonder why you keep repeating the same relationship patterns, even when you know better? Or why you feel totally secure with some people but anxious, avoidant, or distant with others? The truth is, your attachment style might have more to do with it than you think. In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I sit down with clinical psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Judy Ho to talk about her new book, The New Rules of Attachment. We break down how your attachment style shows up in every area of your life—not just relationships—and what it really takes to move toward secure attachment. Dr. Judy and I talk about how to reparent your inner child, nurture your authentic self, and finally create the kind of security and connection you've always wanted. If you've been stuck in the same emotional cycles and want to feel grounded, secure, and confident in your relationships again, then this episode is for you.

This episode is brought to you by Cured Nutrition, Strong Coffee Company and Timeline Nutrition. In this powerful and timely episode of Ever Forward Radio, Chase sits down with Louisiana State Senator Patrick McMath, Chairman of the Senate Health and Welfare Committee, to discuss a growing national movement around children's health, school nutrition, and public policy reform. Senator McMath dives deep into his groundbreaking Senate Bill 14 (Act 463)—a first-of-its-kind initiative to limit artificial dyes, additives, and sweeteners in school meals, introduce QR code ingredient transparency, and improve the overall nutritional standards in Louisiana schools. What began as a personal journey to restore his family's health evolved into a statewide wellness movement—and a national example of how policy can reshape public health from the ground up. Together, Chase and Patrick explore the intersection of wellness, politics, and personal responsibility, how chaos can lead to reform, and why the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement is transforming how we think about food and children's well-being. ----- In this episode we discuss... 02:00 – Meet Senator Patrick McMath 04:45 – From Infrastructure to Health Care Reform 08:40 – Louisiana's Health Crisis 11:15 – A Personal Wake-Up Call: His Wife's Health Journey 13:45 – The Book That Changed Everything: End of Cravings 17:20 – From Family Health to Public Policy 20:00 – Children, Schools, and the MAHA Movement 27:20 – The “Maha Moms” and Grassroots Advocacy 33:00 – What SB 14 Actually Does 37:00 – Learning from Other States & Building Momentum 41:00 – Forcing Big Food to the Table 46:00 – Transparency, QR Codes, and What's Next 50:00 – The Economics of Healthy Change 54:30 – Good Chaos: Disrupting for Progress 59:10 – Profits vs. Public Health 1:05:00 – The SNAP Program and Coca-Cola's Pushback 1:10:00 – Public Engagement & The Power of the People 1:13:00 – How Podcasts Drive Change 1:17:00 – Rapid Fire: Prevention, Education, and Chronic Disease 1:19:30 – His Decade Wish: Eradicating Cancer & Autism's Rise 1:21:00 – Politics Meets Wellness 1:24:10 – Ever Forward ----- Episode resources: 20% off Flow and Serenity gummies with at https://www.CuredNutrition.com/everforward 15% off Coffee Booster with code CHASE at https://www.StrongCoffeeCompany.com FREE 3-day sample of MitoPure gummies with Urolithin A at https://www.Timeline.com/everforwardsample Watch and subscribe on YouTube Learn more at PatrickMcMath.com

If you've ever felt trapped by the traditional health insurance system—high premiums, endless bureaucracy, and the frustration of fighting for coverage—you'll want to hear this. In this episode, I sit down with Andy Schoonover, founder and CEO of CrowdHealth, a community-powered alternative to health insurance that uses crowdfunding to pay medical bills directly. I recently became a CrowdHealth member myself and, for the first time in my adult life, happily don't have health insurance anymore. Andy breaks down exactly how CrowdHealth works, why he built it, and what makes it different from anything else out there. We talk about: Why paying doctors directly creates better healthcare How emergencies, pregnancies, and even cancer treatments are handled What happens when bills reach hundreds of thousands of dollars Whether preventative care like acupuncture is supported How CrowdHealth members are incentivized to stay healthy And what the future of healthcare could look like if people took power back from insurance companies Andy Schoonover is founder and CEO of CrowdHealth, a community-powered alternative to health insurance that provides a revolutionary way of paying for healthcare bills through crowdfunding. Schoonover was previously CEO of VRI, a healthcare technology company focused on monitoring patients with chronic conditions out of their homes. He is a graduate of the University of Virginia and Stanford University's Graduate School of Business.

Why do so many men stay in unhappy marriages and what happens when they finally walk away? In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm sitting down with men's coach Josh Tomeoni to unpack the male perspective on divorce, healing, and healthy masculinity.

This is one of the most honest, compassionate conversations we've ever had on the podcast and even though this show is for women, I promise, hearing a good man reflect on what really goes on behind the scenes will shift how you see dating, co-parenting, and even your own healing journey.

What if financial freedom wasn't about chasing more but about expanding into a new version of yourself? In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm joined by spiritual wealth expert Elizabeth Ralph for a powerful conversation that will change the way you think about money, investing, and what it really means to be wealthy.

Why do we keep choosing emotionally unavailable partners, striving for perfection, or pushing ourselves to the brink of burnout? In this episode, I'm joined by Sarah Baldwin, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and trauma-informed coach, to explore the nervous system patterns behind perfectionism, anxious overachieving, childhood imprinting, and why we're often drawn to partners who reflect our earliest wounds.

What does it mean to raise a child who trusts themselves while also healing the parts of you that were never given that chance? In this conversation, I sit down with Sterna Suissa, parenting coach and trauma-informed educator, to explore how our own childhood experiences shape the way we show up as parents. We unpack the subtle ways control sneaks in, why respecting a child's “no” is the foundation for lifelong self-trust, and how to repair when we inevitably miss the mark. And this isn't just for parents! Even if you don't have kids, this is a deeply healing conversation about being human. Every single one of us was once a child, raised by people who made mistakes. Sterna's insights on boundaries, emotional safety, and self-trust will help you reflect on your own upbringing and begin to reparent yourself with more compassion.

In today's episode, we tackle one of the most misunderstood truths in health and fitness: just because something is simple, doesn't mean it's easy. From the basics of nutrition and movement to the mental game of consistency, we unpack why people struggle with doing the boring basic things and keep abandoning their goals for the smallest inconvenience - and what to do about it.We also dive into the power of saying no, the guilt that shows up when you start prioritizing yourself, and how training for life (not just a finish line) demands a different kind of mindset. If you've ever said “I'll get back on track Monday,” or felt like a goal wasn't “serious enough” to commit to, this one's for you.Key Takeaways:Why nutrition and fitness are simple in theory but hard in real lifeHow people sabotage their own progress by expecting perfectionThe real reason you keep saying yes when you should be saying noWhy you don't need a race or event to train like your goals matterHow to stay consistent even when life gets messy (because it always will)Don't forget to rate, review, and share if this hit home.Thank you Cured Nutrition for sponsoring our podcast!We LOVE Cured products and know you will, too!

Think a divorce court will finally bring you justice? That they'll hear your story and deliver what's fair? I used to think that too until I learned the hard way that courtrooms don't operate on emotion. They operate on facts, assets, and legal agreements. In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm joined by powerhouse attorney and fellow solo mom, Emily S. Pollock, to unpack the legal and financial truths every woman needs to know before, during, and after divorce. From how courts actually look at fairness (spoiler: they don't care if your ex was a jerk) to what you need in place before you sign your next marriage certificate, Emily shares it all. If you've been relying on emotion instead of strategy in your divorce—or you're terrified of repeating the same mistakes again—then this episode is for you.

In this raw and revealing episode, we sit down with IFBB Bikini Olympia champion Nathalia Melo, who takes us behind the curtain of bodybuilding, body image, and motherhood. From hiding her body three months before winning the Olympia to rebuilding her relationship with food, fitness, and herself after two kids, Nathalia opens up about the very real struggles behind the "perfect" body.We talk about:How toxic behaviors get glamorized in the fitness industryThe ripple effect of body image on kids — even when we think they aren't watchingResentment, routines, and why self-care is non-negotiableThe lies we tell ourselves (and others) about hormones, fat loss, and motivationHow Nathalia's mindset shifted when motherhood entered the pictureIf you've ever felt like you're failing because you can't do it all - this one's for you.Key Takeaways:Winning doesn't fix body image. Even at her physical peak, Nathalia struggled with shame and insecurity.Behavior speaks louder than words. Kids pick up on how we treat our bodies — even when we're not talking about it.Extremes don't work long-term. Whether it's competing or crash dieting, unsustainable methods erode confidence over time.Resentment grows in silence. Sacrificing yourself endlessly leads to burnout — and bitterness toward the ones you love.Motherhood is a mindset shift. Fitness after kids isn't about bouncing back — it's about redefining what matters.Listen Now If You:Feel stuck in an all-or-nothing cycle with your body or dietWant to raise kids without passing on your body image baggageAre tired of the toxic positivity that tells you to “just be grateful”Need permission to put yourself first, without guiltThank you Cured Nutrition for sponsoring our podcast!We LOVE Cured products and know you will, too!

You can be successful, self-aware, and high-functioning—and still completely lose yourself in a relationship. In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm joined by integrative therapist and somatic practitioner Megan Sherer for a deeply honest conversation about how even the most self-sufficient women can unconsciously self-abandon when love is on the line. We unpack how nervous system conditioning, attachment styles, and childhood trauma shape our romantic patterns and why it's so hard to walk away from someone who feels like home, even when they aren't safe for your healing. If you've been losing yourself in relationships that require you to shrink, fix, or prove your worth, this episode is for you.

Fat loss - when done right, it's boring! That's exactly what we're talking about this week - the boring basics from fat loss plateaus to pizza trade-offs, we break down the boring basics most people skip, and why that's exactly where you need to focus. We talk about macros, periodizing calorie deficits, emotional eating, volume vs. satisfaction, and the importance of performance-based goals.We also dive into a powerful (and disturbing) conversation about a viral interview where an 11-year-old was prescribed Wegovy - and why this signals a dangerous generational cycle of diet culture repeating itself yet again. Expect unfiltered takes, zero fluff, and practical mindset shifts you can use now - no fancy weight loss supplements or cortisol morning routines needed.Topics Covered:Why long, aimless calorie deficits backfireThe difference between volume eating and just “eating more”The mental side of food boredom and emotional hungerWhen macros help and when they become a distractionWhy your goal shouldn't just be fat lossWhy it's time to stop outsourcing your decisions to influencersShoutouts:Beth's 5K a Day for Sobriety (starting Aug 1)Amy crushing it with our Patreon workoutsFit Fat Strong July Book Club: The Mountain Is YouThank you Cured Nutrition for sponsoring our podcast!We LOVE Cured products and know you will, too!

259: If you've ever gotten a surprise medical bill, you need to stop everything and listen to my interview with Andy Schoonover. He founded CrowdHealth, a company that's taking a crowdfunding approach to healthcare - that means you pay into a community instead of giving your money to a big corporation, and that fund helps cover your medical costs upfront (so no expensive bills down the line). And it ends up being way cheaper than health insurance. If you've ever been frustrated with your insurance, you're going to want to hear this.
