Are you feeling constantly tired and run down, or finding that your body simply isn't bouncing back the way it used to?The reason may lie deeper than we often realize, at the level of our cells.In Part 2 of this two-part conversation, I'm once again joined by clinical pharmacist, wellness expert, educator, and founder of Central Drugs Compounding Pharmacy, Dr. Nayan Patel. Since 1999, Dr Patel has worked closely with physicians to custom-develop medication and hormone protocols for patients ranging from everyday individuals to CEOs, celebrities, and medical professionals.Dr Patel is also the author of The Glutathione Revolution and a frequent guest on leading health and longevity podcasts, where he shares groundbreaking insights into cellular health and antioxidant support.In this episode, we explore the powerful role of glutathione, a molecule often referred to as the “master antioxidant". Despite its crucial role in human health and longevity, many people, myself included until recently, have never heard of it.

Hormone health impacts everything—energy, mood, sleep, metabolism, confidence, and how we show up in our lives. Yet for so many people, hormone care feels confusing, overwhelming, or dismissive.In this powerful episode of A Voice and Beyond, I'm joined by Dr Nayan Patel, clinical pharmacist, educator, and founder of Central Drugs Compounding Pharmacy, a nationally respected leader in hormone therapy and personalised pharmaceutical care.With over two decades of experience working alongside functional and integrative physicians, Dr. Patel brings clarity to what's often misunderstood. We unpack why “normal” lab ranges don't always equal optimal health, how personalised hormone therapy truly works, and what patients can do to advocate for care that actually reflects how they feel.In this episode, we also talk about:Why hormone health is often misunderstoodEarly signs your hormones may be out of balanceHormone changes in perimenopause, menopause, and men over 40Safety, regulation, and quality in compounded hormone therapyIf you've ever been told “your labs are fine” while feeling anything but, this conversation will empower you with insight, language, and next steps.Find Dr. Patel Here:aurowellness.cominstagram.com/Aurowellnessfacebook.com/aurowellnesstiktok.com/@auro.wellnessyoutube.com/@aurowellnessBook:The Glutathione Revolution: Fight Disease, Slow Aging, and Increase Energy with the Master Antioxidant - www.amazon.com/Glutathione-Revolution-Disease-Increase-Antioxidant/dp/0306873974Products:aurowellness.comFind Marisa online:Website: https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmarisaleenaismith/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmarisaleenaismith/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/marisa.lee.12YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@avoiceandbeyond3519/videosResources:MLN Coaching Program: https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/mentoring/Schedule a Free Clarity Call: https://calendly.com/info-56015/discovery Gratitude Journal: https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/product/in-gratitude-my-daily-self-journal/Download your eBook: Thriving in a Creative Industry: https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/product/ebook-thriving-in-a-creative-industry-dr-marisa-lee-naismith/Like this episode?

Watch or listen on YouTube + all major podcast platforms!Write your hottest fantasies into existence! In this episode, Carly, creator of Aurore, joins Jordan D'Nelle to explore the power of smart, sexy erotica for women. Carly shares why women often crave erotica over visual porn, how it fuels imagination, celebrates real bodies, and helps expand your personal “sex bucket list.” Together they dive into the power of writing your own erotica, from reliving hot memories and healing past encounters to straight-up manifesting the sex you want. Along the way, they explore how this practice not only boosts creativity and sexual confidence, but also makes communicating your desires feel easier, more natural, and a lot more fun.Jump to the Good Stuff:03:47 – Why Women Love Erotica More Than Porn06:05 – Healing Through Erotica08:20 – Writing & Manifesting Sex Stories12:15 – Plane Hookups, Gym Pick-Ups & DM Sliding Done Right22:41 – Toxic Situationships vs. Clear Communication25:38 – Erotica in the Bedroom33:15 – Solo Pleasure & Slowing Down37:30 – Defining PleasurePleasure Highlights:Erotica is powerful because it's customizable. You control the fantasy, insert real bodies, and stay fully in your imagination without visual porn's limitations or insecurities.Writing your own sex stories is both arousing and healing. Relive the good, rewrite the disappointing, and even manifest future encounters.Manifestation through writing works. Jordan's spicy stories have literally come true; putting desires on paper (or sharing them) gives clear permission and builds consent.Good sex fuels creativity. When you're having satisfying sex or feeling desired, your creative energy skyrockets.Communication is everything. Whether negotiating desires, setting expectations in dating, or introducing new moves inspired by erotica, be upfront about what you want (and what you don't).Everyday pleasure matters. Slowing down and eroticizing routine moments (coffee, skincare, walking) deepens overall sexual pleasure and life satisfaction.Real, relatable stories hit hardest. Unrequited desire, yearning, and messy human connections often feel hotter than perfect fairy-tale romance.Supportive partners exist. Men who celebrate your sexual openness and even draw inspiration from your work are out there.Connect with Carly Pifer:Instagram @readauroreSubstack @readauroreEnhance your self-awareness by acknowledging and understanding your behavior patterns, and foster a deeper connection with your inner self.

What does it actually take to lead with confidence — especially when the pressure is on?In this powerful episode of A Voice and Beyond, I sit down with leadership and performance coach Suzanne Smith, a specialist in high-performance psychology and self-leadership. Suzanne works with executives, professionals, and high-achieving individuals to build resilience, executive presence, and sustainable confidence from the inside out.Her approach combines performance psychology, behavioural strategy, and practical leadership tools, helping individuals move from self-doubt and hesitation to clarity and decisive action.In this conversation, we unpack:✔ Why confidence is a result of action — not a prerequisite✔ The psychology behind high performance under pressure✔ How to lead yourself before leading others✔ Practical strategies to build resilience and emotional regulation✔ What separates consistent high performers from those who stay stuckSuzanne shares tangible frameworks that you can apply immediately, whether you're leading a team, building a creative career, navigating career transitions, or simply ready to step into your next level.This isn't leadership theory; it's leadership in action.If you've been waiting to feel “ready” before stepping up, this episode will challenge that mindset and give you the tools to move forward anyway.

How to communicate for deeper connection—and greater happiness.Happiness isn't just a feeling—it's something you can actively shape through how you think, connect, and communicate.Sonja Lyubomirsky, a distinguished professor of psychology at the University of California, Riverside and co-author of How to Feel Loved: The Five Mindsets That Get You More of What Matters Most, defines happiness as two key components: “being happy in your life and being happy with your life.” And while many people separate happiness from meaning or purpose, she explains that “they almost always go together.” Her research shows how the small habits we practice—like gratitude—can have a powerful effect, helping to “neutralize negative emotions” and shift how we see our lives. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Lyubomirsky and host Matt Abrahams explore the science of wellbeing and the habits that help us feel more fulfilled. From gratitude practices to breaking free from the comparison trap, they share practical strategies for boosting happiness and explain why connection isn't just about being loved, but truly “feeling loved.”Episode Reference Links:Sonja LyubomirskySonja's Book: How To Feel Loved179.

What if the climate crisis didn't have to be framed as a doomsday story but instead as a catalyst for innovation, collaboration, and global renewal?In this powerful episode of A Voice and Beyond, host Dr Marisa Lee Naismith sits down with Russ Walsh, cybersecurity executive, systems thinker, and founder of The SeaNet, a bold initiative designed to address one of the greatest challenges facing humanity: rising sea levels.After decades working with global technology leaders including IBM, Google, Apple, GE, and Facebook, Russ began asking a deeper question — what if we could apply systems-level thinking to climate change the same way we do to cybersecurity and infrastructure?In this conversation, Russ unpacks the science behind sea-level rise, why fear-based climate narratives leave people frozen, and how vision, leadership, and collective action can turn crisis into opportunity. This episode invites listeners to move beyond overwhelm and into empowered participation in shaping the future of our planet.If you've ever felt anxious, helpless, or disconnected when it comes to climate change, this episode offers clarity, hope, and a radically new way forward.Find Russ Here:Website: https://russwalsh.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/russwalsh/Books:The SeaNet Vision: Stop Rising Seas & Turn Melting Ice into Blue Gold https://russwalsh.com/the-book/Eternity: Where will you spend it? - https://a.co/d/4BvyB8mFind Marisa online: Website: https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmarisaleenaismith/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmarisaleenaismith/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/marisa.lee.12 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@avoiceandbeyond3519/videos Resources: MLN Coaching Program: https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/mentoring/ Schedule a Free Clarity Call: https://calendly.com/info-56015/discovery Gratitude Journal: https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/product/in-gratitude-my-daily-self-journal/ Download your eBook: Thriving in a Creative Industry: https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/product/ebook-thriving-in-a-creative-industry-dr-marisa-lee-naismith/ Like this episode?

We missed you this weekend and hope you stayed safe and warm. We're looking forward to being together again this Sunday! This week in our Abide series, Terrence focused on abiding in gratitude, anchored in 1 Thessalonians 5:18: “Give thanks in everything, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.” Gratitude isn't just a feeling; it's a daily practice that keeps us connected to Christ. When we intentionally give thanks, we position our hearts to recognize God's goodness, even in difficult seasons. We were reminded of four key truths: Gratitude is a practice to embrace – it sustains us like daily nourishment for the soul. Gratitude is a resource to use – we give thanks in everything, not for everything, trusting God's presence in every season. Gratitude is a call to obedience – it shapes us to be more like Christ and fuels generosity and service. Gratitude is best for us – it strengthens trust, anchors our hope, and moves our faith beyond transactions into true reliance on God. This week, we're encouraged to practice gratitude intentionally. Choose one gratitude practice and set aside time, whether during Bible study, a lunch break, or before bed, to meet with God and thank Him for His faithfulness. – Gratitude Walk, Gratitude Journal, Gratitude Return, Gratitude Pause, Gratitude Reframe Let's be a church that walks daily in gratitude, stays connected to Christ, and reflects His goodness wherever we go.
