In this episode of The Evolved Caveman Podcast, Dr. John sits down with Rich Heller—a marriage whisperer with two decades of experience and the brains behind the *Rich in Relationship* podcast. Think of Rich as a relationship mechanic who helps couples stop setting emotional fires and start building actual connection (without needing a fire extinguisher or a therapist on speed dial).They dig into the juicy stuff: Rich's own WTF moments that shaped his career, how generational trauma likes to crash your relationship uninvited, and why shame is the sneaky gremlin screwing things up behind the scenes without your knowledge or permission. They also take a sledgehammer to outdated ideas of masculinity (spoiler: being emotionally clueless isn't sexy), and explore how to create relationships that don't suck—with actual tools, not just good vibes.This one's for anyone who wants less drama and more connection—minus the woo-woo fluff.01:32 Rich Heller's Journey to Marriage Coaching04:16 Personal Reflections on Divorce05:08 Managing Anger and Emotional Triggers11:33 Conflict Resolution in Relationships17:22 Understanding and Releasing Trauma30:05 The Metaphor of Cleaning the House30:49 Exploring Masculinity Myths31:43 The High Plains Drifter and Masculine Myths32:48 Replacing Outdated Masculine Myths35:39 The Importance of Connection and Vulnerability36:16 From Fixer to Feeler: Helping Men Connect39:48 Understanding Men's Root Fears in Relationships42:41 The Role of Shame in Men's Lives47:55 The Difference Between Shame and Guilt53:08 Relational Wealth and Personal FulfillmentAbout Dr. John's Cool Guest;Rich Heller, MSW, PCC, ELI-MP, Rich is the podcast host of Rich in Relationship, and Marriage Transformation Coach.

Today, we will dive into the keys to becoming a high-performance leader at home and in your business. It's all about taking control of your health that will make you perform better, think better, sell better, and lead better. Who doesn't want that? But don't worry, we're not going to try and persuade to take on the newest diet and exercise fad that won't last. It's about helping you create the right stress free way of eating well and getting the right amount of exercise that fits you. Something that you can make as a way of life that feels natural to you.  This week's guests Justin Roethlingshoefer and Alyse Gaulin share some highly practical ways that we can live a healthier life without being a gym rat and count every calorie. This will be highly practical and simple.  Website: https://ownitcoaching.com/  Alyse's website: https://alysegaulin.com/  The Book: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/    Key Takeaways: We normalize dysfunction Consuming coffee, sugar, energy drinks, etc. is borrowed energy. Not healthy long term. The health scare at 29 while he was a performance coach for the NHL.  4 pillars of ownership Fuel Build Renew Repair Total health relies on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health You can be physically fit but if the other 75% of your health isn't doing well, stress builds up and your body will break down.  Even things that are good for you like exercise can be a cause of unnecessary stress. Ultimately, stress is what you want to reduce.  Many entrepreneurs love what they are doing. That's why they can work all day, all night. Until their body says, “no more.” Justin's Roethlingshoefer Bio After completing his MS in Sports Performance and Human Biology, Justin sought out post-graduate work in functional medicine. His 15-year career as a performance director in the NHL and NCAA, prepared Justin Roethlingshoefer for entrepreneurship after realizing that the holistic health solutions he had found a personalized solution to was just not an athlete problem but a human problem. He founded Own It in 2021 and has become a multiple seven-figure coaching company that applies this health and performance philosophy to clients ranging from NHL stars, to Fortune 500 executives, to entrepreneurs looking to take that next step and realize true health. From sleeping better to mental clarity, reduced anxiety, and increase in energy, he and his team have been providing n=1 solutions for over 10 thousand people the last 2 years. He's also the creator of the Own It App, which provides simple data collection, meaningful insights, and personalized plans to help users OWN their habits and improve recovery, health, and performance. Justin has spoken at dozens of events, including the TEDx stage. He's the host of the Sports Science and Recovery Podcast and The Own It Show and the author of a number of books including his most recent bestseller “The Power of Ownership: Redeem Your Health, Live Life by Design and Break the Relentless Pursuit of Normal” Alyse Gaulin's Bio As CEO of Own It Coaching, Alyse Gaulin comes with a wealth of experience after helping grow multi-billion dollar corporations in the retail industry, and most recently as an executive at Christian Louboutin. In her role there, she built teams that consistently over-performed & contributed to significant growth. After working her way up the corporate structure, she knew in her heart that she was an entrepreneur with a passion to change peoples' lives. She went back to school and invested heavily into her own development and education to become an iPEC and ELI-MP certified coach, with thousands of hours of formal training. It led her to co-founding Own It and driving the development of the Inner Energy team. She is also certified through the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

Within a typical healthcare leader's journey and their rise in management ranks, it is not uncommon to transition from a colleague and friend to a position of authority. When navigated properly in healthcare, this transition can be seamless, fruitful, and mutually beneficial to all parties involved, including the parent organization and the patients/communities it serves. When mismanaged, this transition can be awkward, costly, and deeply consequential. Joining us on our Healthcare Experience Matters Podcast this week is Kathleen Zwarick Shanley, PhD, CAE, PCC, ELI-MP. We will delve deep into this common occurrence in healthcare that requires caution and care. Kathy is the founder and CEO of Statice and has been a C-suite executive for over three decades and is an official member of the Forbes Coaches Council, a certified association executive, and an International Coaching Federation credentialed professional coach. She also served on the American Association of Medical Society Executives Board of Directors and as an executive with the American Urological Association (AUA) for more than ten years.

In yet another impactful and empowering episode of The Pursuit of Gold podcast, Laura delves into the all too often-overlooked topic of life after competitive sports. Joining her for this important discussion is Robyn Eckersley, CPC, ELI-MP, a dedicated life expansion coach who specializes in helping high performing women create huge, meaningful change within themselves, their personal lives, and their professional lives. Together, this dynamic duo navigates the emotional rollercoaster of retiring from elite athletics, discussing the challenges of finding purpose and passion beyond sports.  Throughout their candid conversation, Laura and Robyn uncover practical strategies for tackling financial challenges, prioritizing mental health, and embracing gratitude as a pathway to personal fulfillment. Exploring the journey of transitioning from the pinnacle of athletic achievement to a new chapter in life, they emphasize the importance of setting meaningful targets, reframing mindset, and finding strength in community support networks. Through the insights that Robyn and Laura share here today, they redefine success on individual terms, encouraging listeners to approach change with confidence and optimism as they embark on life beyond the sports arena. Episode Highlights: The emotional journey of transitioning from athletic achievement to new beginnings Strategies for discovering passions and purpose beyond sports The importance of mental health awareness and seeking support during transitions Navigating financial challenges and planning for long-term stability post-retirement Finding strength through gratitude and guided journaling practices Overcoming isolation and reconnecting with community and purpose Self-discovery and personal growth after leaving the sports arena Embracing change and finding fulfillment beyond athletics Quotes: "There are too many stories of unsuccessful retirement experiences where athletes suffer immensely with mental, emotional, physical, and financial repercussions once they hang up their jersey." "What is life about? I had no answers. And so, honestly, my mental health did start to take a major toll." "A lot of these athletes, if they had the privilege of generating a good amount of income over the course of their career, are without financial advising and the appropriate kind of financial counseling to help set them up for the long term." "I think it's really healthy to go through those emotional ups and downs afterward. That's a healthy grief process." "A lot of times people think I'm grieving... I grieve the routine I had training every day in the gym." "We're not created to be alone. We need community for sure." "We need to recognize all the value that we have intrinsically as each individual human being on top of what you can do in your sport." "Lean into the fact that you get to experience the Olympic village, the camaraderie, and the opportunity to connect with fellow athletes on a human level." "Struggling after retirement shouldn't be the norm; we're changing those metrics and creating a supportive community for athletes."

Elaine discusses the planning process, pricing considerations, and the importance of aligning the retreat theme, activities, and location. She emphasizes the need for a balance between learning and free time for participants to absorb information. In this episode, Elaine will share: Retreats for Impactful Messaging: Retreats are presented as a pure way to convey messages, connect with clients, and facilitate transformations, allowing speakers to impact their audience more deeply. Strategic Planning and Pricing: Speakers are advised to plan retreats at least nine months to a year in advance, considering audience affordability.

Join Amie today as she shares an episode from her Empowered Divorce Podcast where she talks about the importance of healing from betrayal by BELIEVING your body. Your body's memory is an integral part of trauma that goes way beyond the cognitive part of your brain. The body holds so much memory and it influences your physical health, emotional wellbeing, and behavior. Acknowledging and addressing this aspect of trauma is vital to your overall healing. Trauma isn't just a psychological issue. It's a physiological one as well. To truly heal, it is essential to address the impact that trauma has on the body and allow for that integration of mind and body in the recovery journey.
