In this episode of Connecting the Dots, I sat down with my longtime friend Therese Ten Brinke, Executive Director of Innovation and Impact at Eskaton. Therese is a gerontologist, educator, and innovation leader, and she makes a case I keep coming back to: real innovation in senior living doesn't start with AI or robotics — it starts with people and culture. We got into why the words we choose shape how we age, how technology can empower rather than manage decline, and why the best ideas never come out of a conference room.Key Takeaways:Innovation starts with understanding people, not buying technology — the tech is just one tool among many.Language shapes culture: focusing on what people can't do breeds learned helplessness, while focusing on possibility builds empowerment.When care teams help shape a solution, resistance disappears — Eskaton saw adoption climb from 90% to 100% by listening first.Real innovation often isn't a tech problem at all; it's a workflow, communication, or culture problem that has to be solved first.Technology should expand what's still possible for older adults, not just compensate for decline.The best problems aren't solved in a conference room — they're solved by sitting with residents and care partners.Timestamps:[01:30] Welcome and introduction to Therese Ten Brinke[03:20] Therese's story: her Nana, a skilled nursing summer, and a volunteer trip to Costa Rica[06:00] Why the U.S. views aging differently — and her choice to change the narrative[08:05] Innovation begins by understanding people, not buying technology[10:40] Why the best tech partners ask about culture and workflow before pitching[12:30] "Innovation isn't something we buy — it's something we build together"[13:15] How language shapes culture: learned helplessness vs. possibility[15:30] The Sync Labs case study — listening first drove adoption to 100%[21:00] Piloting the right way and solving the real problem[26:25] Building a culture-first organization and the Eskaton Academy[30:50] "One voice": weaving culture through everything, not just compliance[33:05] Technology as a tool of empowerment, not decline[37:30] What older adults have taught her about technology[44:00] Why staff are often more resistant to technology than residents[45:50] What gives her optimism about aging — and her advice: start with your people[51:10] Closing thoughtsNotable Quotes:"Innovation isn't something we buy — it's something we build together.""Technology shouldn't just compensate for what someone has lost.

This week, Misty gets more personal than usual. She's told you about getting out of debt. She's told you about leaving the chair to become a coach. But she hasn't told you the full story of going from a hyper-independent, angry teenager to the personal development junkie she is today — and the patterns she had to let go of to get there.This episode is about the protective patterns that used to keep you safe and now keep you blocked. It's about survival mode — why it feels comfortable, and why comfortable isn't the same as forward. It's about the quiet stress that never fully goes away, and why the goal was never to eliminate it, but to change how you respond to it.If you grew up believing that hustle and hardship are just what you owe before you're allowed to feel good, this episode is your permission slip to stop waiting. You don't have to earn peace through fifty more years behind the chair. You can practice it now — and yes, it's uncomfortable. But that discomfort is nothing compared to the discomfort of staying stuck in survival mode.hairstylist personal development podcast, salon owner burnout, hairstylist mindset coaching, survival mode healing, hustle culture recovery, self-worth for hairstylists, breaking limiting patternsMentioned in this episode:Industry: UNPLUGGED Retreat Join me and a small group of ambitious, seasoned women in the hair industry for a week in Costa Rica, April 2027!

Au Honduras, où les médias sont concentrés entre les mains de quelques puissants, une soixantaine de radios communautaires résistent, souvent dans la clandestinité. Marie Griffon et Célia Pousset nous emmènent à la rencontre de responsables de ces radios qui utilisent les ondes pour défendre leurs terres et leur culture malgré les menaces. « Waruguma signifie étoile, une étoile lumineuse qui sert de guide à tout le peuple. » Ainsi parle Horacio Martínez, directeur de la radio du même nom, à Trujillo. Dans un pays classé 132e sur 180 au classement mondial 2026 de la liberté de la presse de Reporters sans frontières (RSF), des petites stations comme Waruguma sont souvent le seul moyen pour les populations de s'informer hors des canaux officiels. Le Honduras est le pays le plus pauvre d'Amérique latine après Haïti, selon le Fonds monétaire international (FMI). Gangrené par la corruption et le crime organisé, le pays est aux mains d'une poignée de familles industrielles qui possèdent la quasi-totalité des journaux et télévisions. Face à cela, les radios communautaires s'efforcent d'informer dans les zones rurales isolée et deviennent parfois des cibles. Le défi de la légalité Pour exister, ces radios doivent faire preuve de courage. Au Honduras, les fréquences sont mises aux enchères et s'arrachent à des prix inaccessibles pour des associations. « Ici, dans le Nord, une fréquence a déjà été adjugée pour 12,5 millions de lempiras (plus de 400 000 euros) », explique Jorge Andino, directeur de Play FM. Pour ces médias sans publicité, impossible de réunion une telle somme. Résultat : la majorité des 70 radios communautaires du pays opèrent sans licence légale. « La communication communautaire n'est ni légitimée ni reconnue par l'État. C'est comme marcher en permanence sur la corde raide. C'est vivre à la limite », déplore Jorge Andino. Sans reconnaissance, ces radios risquent à tout moment la saisie de leur matériel, voire la prison pour leurs animateurs, sur simple dénonciation d'un homme d'affaires influent. Au manque de protection juridique s'ajoute la précarité technique. Dans les studios souvent installés chez l'habitant, on utilise des ventilateurs de fortune pour refroidir des émetteurs de faible puissance. Lors des orages, faute de paratonnerres, les stations doivent souvent couper l'antenne pour ne pas perdre leur unique outil de diffusion. Informer, au plus près des communautés Plus au sud, à la frontière avec le Nicaragua, la Radio Cholula Triunfeña ouvre son antenne aux paysans locaux. Ici, on insonorise les murs avec des dizaines de boîtes d'œufs collées les unes aux autres. Wilfredo Hernández Cruz, le directeur, y défend une parole sans artifice : « Parlez comme vous êtes, car c'est justement cela l'essentiel : que les habitants des zones rurales aient accès à un micro. » Mais cette liberté a un prix. Située dans une zone de trafic de drogue et de traite d'êtres humains, la radio dérange les pouvoirs économiques et mafieux en dénonçant les investissements opaques et les concessions minières. « Nous avons déjà perdu des camarades qui ont été attaqués, persécutés, réduits au silence », confie Wilfredo Cruz. Les menaces sont directes : appels anonymes, piratages de téléphones ou encore l'envoi d'une balle dans une boîte pour signifier à un journaliste de cesser ses enquêtes. Amanda Ponce, directrice de C Libre (Comité pour la libre expression), souligne que l'État hondurien a longtemps occulté cette réalité. « Il y a deux décennies d'assassinats de journalistes qui sont aujourd'hui complètement effacées par l'État », précise-t-elle. Depuis les années 1980, le schéma reste le même : éliminer ceux qui mettent en lumière la corruption et les liens entre banques, narcotrafic et pouvoir politique. L'héritage de Berta Cáceres Dans les montagnes froides de l'ouest, le peuple Lenca poursuit un combat emblématique. C'est ici que la célèbre militante écologiste Berta Cáceres a fondé la radio Guarajambala avant d'être assassinée en 2016. Pour le COPINH (Conseil civique des organisations populaires et indigènes du Honduras), la radio est l'un des seuls moyen de mobiliser les communautés contre les projets extractifs qui menacent leurs rivières. Aujourd'hui, une nouvelle génération prend le micro. Leiby, une journaliste de 25 ans, a été formée dans l'école Voix des Rivières créée par l'organisation. Pour elle, la mission est claire : « Nous dénonçons, nous devenons la voix des communautés. Nous sommes la voix des grandes injustices que nous subissons dans ce pays. » Malgré la violence, ces radios continuent tant bien que mal de diffuser. Elles font entendre des musique indigènes ou alternatives, des langues en recul comme le Garifuna, elles racontent l'histoire de ces communautés marginalisées et créent une solidarité qui dépasse désormais les frontières. En l'absence de médias nationaux lors de la commémoration de l'assassinat de Berta Caceres, ce sont des radios communautaires du Guatemala et du Costa Rica qui sont venues prêter main-forte à leurs sœurs honduriennes. Ces ondes, bien que fragiles, restent un espace où l'on peut « inviter les gens à rêver ». Dans un pays où certains tentent de les faire taire, les radios communautaires prouvent chaque jour que la parole radiodiffusée est un pouvoir que l'on ne peut pas totalement éteindre.

En este nuevo capítulo de La Galería Nocturna, retomamos nuestras pláticas con el talento nacional para conversar con Miguel (vocalista) e Iván (baterista) de The Brain Rage. Originaria de Puebla, esta agrupación está redefiniendo el metal en México gracias a su potente mezcla de groove, progresivo, velocidad y la integración de elementos electrónicos. A lo largo de esta charla profunda, exploramos la evolución de la banda y los retos de hacer metal de calidad y de exportación. Durante la entrevista descubrimos el concepto detrás de su música, el cual inició abordando temas de protesta social, política y religiosa en su primer álbum llamado Control. Posteriormente, la banda decidió explorar de lleno los trastornos psicológicos en su segundo álbum de 2024, Mental, tocando temas como la piromanía en el sencillo "Ignite" y las adicciones en "Break it". De manera ingeniosa, al juntar el título de ambos trabajos, se revela el hilo conductor de la agrupación: "Control Mental". Al profundizar en sus influencias, Iván detalla cómo la genialidad de bateristas como Mike Portnoy y Bill Bruford inspiró composiciones épicas como "Deep Rest" y la incursión de texturas y baterías electrónicas. Por su parte, Miguel construye su estilo vocal y lírico basándose en leyendas tan variadas como Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, Zack de la Rocha, Phil Anselmo y Joe Duplantier. Además, nos relatan la increíble experiencia de trabajar con el virtuoso tecladista Derek Sherinian (ex-Dream Theater, Planet X), quien tras escuchar un demo, grabó todas las líneas de teclado de "Ignite" en cuestión de horas, abriéndoles la puerta a un sonido mucho más orquestal y dándoles una enorme exposición internacional. La conversación también aborda la cruda realidad de la escena metalera. La banda reflexiona sobre el doloroso fenómeno de ser más reconocidos y lograr recintos llenos en países como Costa Rica y Colombia que en su propio país, destacando al mismo tiempo la valiosa labor de promotores y colectivos como Mexapedia por apostar genuinamente por los circuitos nacionales ante la falta de espacios. A manera de consejo para las nuevas generaciones, Miguel e Iván comparten su filosofía de éxito: ver a la banda como una empresa, ser constantes, jamás faltar a los ensayos, cuidar minuciosamente la calidad del sonido en vivo y realizar grabaciones lo más profesionales posibles sin importar los recursos. Para finalizar, The Brain Rage nos adelanta que ya se encuentran trabajando en la composición de su tercer disco, el cual mantendrá un enfoque conceptual, y nos invitan a sus próximas presentaciones en el Brutal Fest de la Ciudad de México y en las ediciones del Mexafest en Jalisco, Puebla y Tuxtla. Como ya es costumbre, cerramos el episodio repasando nuestra inmensa agenda metalera con todos los conciertos y festivales que llegarán al país en los próximos meses.

Episode 12 of Sal and Mark. Mark is back from Costa Rica and jumping straight into one of the most important conversations in crypto. Denny (@patriotsounds) from RuneBond.com joins Sal and Mark to break down THORChain, the permissionless, fully decentralized cross chain swap protocol that no government can touch. They cover how it works, what bond providers and node operators actually do, why Monero is coming to ThorChain soon and why that is a game changer, and how anyone can start using it today without ever touching the Rune token. Jeff from RanchoDelicioso.com and Anamaya.com drops in to talk about two distinct but related projects in Costa Rica. RanchoDelicioso is a voluntary, rule free eco village where like minded people can buy lots and build their own homes, with around thirty residents already living there. Anamaya is his National Geographic award winning longevity and wellness retreat nearby, offering week long immersive stays with yoga, healthy food, and stunning ocean views. Jeff talks about what makes both work and why finding the right people is the key to everything. Sal also breaks down home based agorism and how turning your hobbies into crypto side hustles is one of the lowest risk and most effective ways to participate in the counter economy today. The show rounds out with the Firo Spark segment covering Spark names, Rosenbridge, the Firo Community Fund, and why Firo's price still has not caught up with the technology.

There's a reason so much of daily life can leave us feeling frayed and exhausted, even on days when nothing especially hard has happened. Our nervous systems weren't designed for the volume of stimulation we live with every day. We're living in a world that generates more sensory and emotional input in a day than our nervous systems were designed to handle in a year. It takes such a huge toll on us, and we end up overstimulated and dysregulated, like we have too many tabs open in our brains at the same time. In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I guide you through a short somatic practice that can help your nervous system settle and regulate in a tangible way. It's a simple and gentle breathing technique I call Body Scan Breathing, and it's my favorite practice to turn to when I want to ground, relax, and feel less overstimulated quickly.

Quick SummaryJen Govier is the founder of HUX, a bamboo charcoal underwear brand designed to eliminate camel toe and keep women feeling confident and comfortable. In this conversation, Jen shares the origin story behind HUX — from a mortifying gym mirror moment to a product now sold in 19 countries — and the patient, intentional entrepreneurial journey that made it possible.In This Episode:The gym mirror moment that sparked the idea for HUXWhy Jen spent four years validating and building before launching in 2020How she balanced building a business on evenings and weekends while running private wealth managementThe decision to resign from a six-figure corporate career at 50 — and what happened immediately afterHow organic social media and community-first marketing drove 90% of HUX's growthThe shift from saying yes to everything to being strategic with time and ROILanding GoodLife, F45, The Source, and Trish Stratus — and what made those partnerships workManifestation as a practice: dreaming bigger and taking action despite not knowing the "how"Key Takeaways:One thing a day compounds. Jen turned a gym mishap into a global brand by committing to a single daily action — starting in 2016 and launching in 2020. Time passes anyway; put it to work.Talk about your idea before it's ready. Every major breakthrough — the fashion mentor in Costa Rica, the GoodLife connection, Trish Stratus — came through people who knew what she was building. Keeping an idea private kills the serendipity.Saying yes to everything has a shelf life. Early-stage, saying yes builds brand awareness. Later-stage, it erodes margins and time. Learn when to make the shift.Partnerships are for credibility; direct-to-consumer is for revenue. Major retail and gym partnerships gave HUX legitimacy — but organic social media and word-of-mouth remains the #1 revenue driver.Don't wait for a full-body yes before leaping — build toward it. Jen's leap felt right because she spent years preparing the conditions. There's no universal timeline.Memorable Quotes:"Time is going to pass anyway — so you might as well put in what you want." — Jen Govier"The day I resigned, we were on Breakfast Television. Within three months we'd signed with GoodLife. It was like the universe said, 'Okay, you're serious. We'll meet you where you're at.'" — Jen Govier"It's more than underwear. It's about giving women confidence — whether you're at the gym or on a stage. It's the first thing you put on every day. You want to feel good in it." — Jen GovierResources & People Mentioned:HUX Underwear — myhux.ca | @huxwearFriends and Neighbors (TV series, starring Jon Hamm) — Jen's current bingeKelsey's Website: www.KelseyReidl.comKelsey's Instagram: @KelseyReidlGoodLife Fitness — national partnership / rewards programThe Source — Canadian retail partnerF45 — gym partnershipLondon Health Sciences Centre — employee program partnerTrish Stratus — WWE Hall of Famer, brand ambassador for HUX 2.0 launchDragon's Den — Jen pitched producers; validated unit economics without taking a dealMolly Middleton — Dragon's Den producerWestern University (London, ON) — Engineering department, early fabric researchAbout the GuestJen Govier is a London, Ontario-based entrepreneur and the founder of HUX, an innovative underwear brand built around bamboo charcoal fabric and a built-in camel toe guard.

Hey daar lieve luisteraar, Lou hier. Als deze aflevering een lead jingle zou hebben, dan zou dat Stil in mij van Van Dik Hout zijn. Toen ik in 2018 overal de stekker uit trok, gebeurde hetzelfde. Het werd stil. Deze drie weken alleen in Costa Rica hebben precies hetzelfde effect gehad. Offline. En deze keer ook niet aan het werk. Als je alle ruis weghaalt… blijft er stilte over. Die stilte is enerzijds wat ongemakkelijk, anderzijds zo nodig om weer bij de kern te komen. Ik ben benieuwd waar het nu heen gaat, nu ik besloten heb om even niets te produceren en mezelf weer de ruimte heb gegeven om me (van binnenuit) te ‘vermaken' en niets te hoeven ‘vermarkten'. Wat me misschien wel het grootste gevoel van vrijheid geeft… is dat ik weer al mijn fascinaties kan volgen. Zonder dat ik er iets mee hoef. Zonder dat ik er iets van moet maken. Zonder dat ik hoef te bedenken hoe ik het kan vermarkten. Gewoon… voor de JOY ervan. Dit is even de laatste podcast voor we met een zomerstop gaan. Mocht ik ineens de geest krijgen dan kom ik wel even in de lucht maar er gaat dan geen mail over uit. Dus voor nu, fijne zomer, Hold the pressure Trust the vision En tot in augustus. Alle liefs LOU P.S. In september trekken we overal de stekker uit (behalve de podcast) dus als je het fijn vindt om te luisteren abonneer je dan want daar gaat dan dus ook geen mail meer over uit. P.P.S. Uiteraard ben ik wel gewoon aanwezig in the Local District.

Most of us have a running list of shoulds and supposed tos living within us... I should be more productive. I shouldn't feel this way. I'm supposed to have it more together by now. I'm not supposed to struggle, or be vulnerable, or imperfect, or human. The pressure of it is immense. And even when we recognize it, we often can't seem to stop, because these shoulds and supposed tos don't just live in our conscious thoughts. They live much deeper than that, woven into our nervous systems, our bodies, and our subconscious experience. Quietly shaping what we believe we deserve, how we feel about ourselves, and how much joy and authenticity we allow ourselves to experience. That's why these patterns are so hard to change even when we cognitively understand them. They don't live in our thoughts, so our thoughts alone can't reach them. In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I guide you through a healing meditation that will take you beneath the surface of the conscious mind to work with these exhausting patterns at their very roots. It's some of the most powerful self-healing work I know, and my hope is that you come away feeling genuinely lighter, freer, and more reconnected with your own authentic needs, feelings, and desires. Perfect for releasing shoulds and supposed tos and self-criticism, reconnecting with your authentic self, and finding real freedom from the pressures of who you think you're supposed to be.

What if your next five-figure offer did not require a launch? My guest this week is Tenagne Turner, founder of BRB Retreats, a luxury international retreat company serving high-achieving women entrepreneurs, coaches, and consultants. Since 2021 she has generated over a million dollars in revenue through a relationship-first, invitation-only model built around retreats. She has done it without paid ads, without public launches, and without a massive following. Her retreats have taken women to Greece, Bali, Costa Rica, Tulum, and Morocco, and her next two are already selling with one sold out into 2027. In this conversation, Tenagne breaks down exactly how she builds, prices, fills, and runs profitable retreats on a 12-month runway. She shares what your business needs before you host your first one, why she never lets anyone book without a conversation, how she finds villas that sell the retreat from a single photo, and the pricing mindset that separates a profitable retreat from an expensive vacation you accidentally paid for. If a retreat has been sitting in the notes app on your phone, this is the episode that moves it onto your calendar. IN THIS EPISODE The one thing your business needs before you host your first retreat, and the starting point Tenagne recommends if you do not have it yet. Why Tenagne calls retreats the opposite of launching, and how her 12-month retreat runway removes the pressure from selling and planning. The invitation-only sales model that starts with a list of 25 names, and the 30-minute conversation every single guest has before they can pay her. The profit-first pricing approach that turns a retreat into a real offer, including the number Tenagne starts her clients at and the profit range a well-priced retreat can produce. Her villa selection process, from the search filters she uses to the one-picture test that tells her whether a property can sell the retreat for her. The negotiation move she makes with every villa owner before she signs, and why she almost never books through the platform where she found the property. How she structures her week to run a million-dollar retreat business while coaching only three days and closing her calendar by three o'clock. The client retention skill Tenagne discovered she had, and why she believes it is the most undervalued conversation in the coaching industry.

Rest Tech innovator Shalece Daniels previously built and operated a seven-figure real estate investment and property management firm, coached multiple seven-figure businesses on scaling, then stepped fully into her zone of genius as an executive rest coach. Shalece created FLOW, an AI rest-tech assistant for organisations, and delivers corporate rest workshops that upgrade meeting norms, cut decision fatigue, and protect recovery time.Summary of PodcastKey Takeaways90-Second Reset: Emotions metabolise in 90 seconds. Shalece's method uses specific tools (e.g., Mind Fold, bubble-blowing) to reset the nervous system from "fight or flight" to "rest and digest," enabling clearer thinking.Data-Driven Proof: A smart ring tracks Key Relaxation Indicators (KRIs) like heart rate and HRV. This anonymised data proves the program's effectiveness to corporate clients, overcoming a key sales hurdle.Referral-Based Growth: The business grew from personal burnout and a Costa Rica sabbatical. Referrals from initial clients and a vocal advisory board were the primary drivers for landing larger corporate contracts.Respectful Disagreement: A discussion on DEI and immigration highlighted how personal experience shapes perspective, reinforcing the need for tools to manage emotional triggers and maintain respectful dialogue.The Problem: Nervous System OverwhelmHigh-pressure work environments keep leaders in a "fight or flight" (sympathetic) state, which impairs decision-making.The goal is to shift into the "rest and digest" (parasympathetic) state, creating the mental space for clear, strategic thinking.The Solution: 90-Second Reset TechniquesThe method is based on Dr. Jill Bolte-Taylor's research: emotions metabolise in 90 seconds.Key Tools & Rationale:Mind Fold: An eye mask that blocks light while eyes remain open. The brain's confusion triggers an automatic reset.Bubble Blowing: Exhaling longer than inhaling activates the vagus nerve, lowering heart rate and inducing calm.Acupressure Wristband: Stimulates the P6 nerve to reduce anxiety.Foot Roller: Activates nerve endings in the feet for discreet, bottom-up grounding.Personalised Approach: The method is tailored to the individual ("N=1"), requiring participants to find the 1–3 tools that work best for their nervous system.Proving Effectiveness with "Rest Tech"Key Relaxation Indicators (KRIs): A smart ring tracks vital signs (e.g., heart rate, HRV) to provide objective data.Corporate Dashboard: Anonymised data from all participants is aggregated into a dashboard.Why it matters: This data-driven proof overcomes the "how do I know it works?" question from corporate clients, enabling the program's sale and adoption.Business Growth & Client AcquisitionOrigin: The method was developed after Shalece experienced burnout and took a sabbatical in Costa Rica.Initial Growth: Spread organically through referrals from a personal network who noticed a positive change.Scaling: A vocal advisory board and speaking engagements helped attract larger corporate clients.Program Delivery: Includes a physical kit, video exercises via QR code, and a tiered service model.Broader Application: Managing Triggers in DialogueA discussion on DEI and immigration highlighted how personal experience shapes perspective.Key Insight: Acknowledging that everyone is "triggered" by different inputs underscores the value of having tools to manage emotional responses and maintain respectful dialogue.The Next 100 Days Podcast Co-HostsGraham ArrowsmithGraham founded Finely Fettled in 2014 to provide data from The UK High Net Worth Database to marketers targeting affluent and high-net-worth customers.

What does it take to keep a brilliant, unpredictable founder from burning down the very thing he built?In this episode, Cameron Herold sits down with Dr. Jeff McNairy, Chief Medical Officer and second in command at Rythmia, the only medically licensed ayahuasca facility in the world. Jeff gave up his psychology license to help build something the medical world said could not exist.He and founder Jerry Powell turned a jungle dive into a 245-person operation that has guided roughly 23,000 guests through a seven-day program. Jeff gets into the two-year fight for a medical license, the indigenous partnership, and the daily work of bridging a medical team with a shamanic one.Most of all, he explains the real job of a second-in-command to a wild founder: not running the strategy, but keeping the person steady enough to keep the company alive. Listen now.Timestamped Highlights[00:07:09] – What Rythmia actually is, and why it calls itself the only one of its kind in the world.[00:08:31] – How many guests have come through the doors, and what the week demands of you before you ever arrive.[00:10:36] – The medical reason a single “healthy” supplement can turn dangerous with ayahuasca.[00:12:42] – Where ayahuasca comes from, and the two plants that have to be combined to make it work.[00:13:56] – The three moments in life your body floods with DMT all on its own.[00:17:02] – How a rehab patient ended up becoming the founder of a company.[00:19:14] – The flaw Jeff kept seeing in Western medicine that sent him looking for something else.[00:21:10] – The addiction that nearly ended Jerry Powell before Rythmia ever existed.[00:24:37] – The decision to build something safer and cleaner than what they first found.[00:31:18] – The license Jeff knew he would have to surrender to go all in.[00:33:44] – How he convinced a conservative government to allow this on the books.[00:36:14] – The hunt for an indigenous lineage still living in the mountains.[00:40:53] – The hardest balancing act in running Rythmia today.[00:43:51] – Why the body absorbs stem cells differently after a week of ceremony.[00:44:37] – The community Jeff and Jerry are building beyond the resort walls.[00:47:37] – How to lead a visionary founder without choking the dragon.[00:51:52] – The advice Jeff would give his 21-year-old self.About the GuestDr. Jeff McNairy is a doctorate-level psychologist (Psy.D., M.P.H.) and the Chief Medical Officer and second-in-command at Rythmia, the only medically licensed ayahuasca facility in the world, located in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. He spent decades in clinical care, from training at UCLA Medical Center to running a drug and alcohol rehab in Malibu, before co-building Rythmia with founder Jerry Powell. Jeff led the two-year effort to secure Rythmia's medical license with the Costa Rican Ministry of Health and now oversees its medical team of doctors, nurses, and a paramedic alongside the center's shamanic team, guiding the safety and clinical side of a program that has served guests from all over the world.

When twin brothers Trevor and Kyle Ritland were children, their father — a biologist — would tell them stories about a mythical creature that lived high in the misty mountains of Costa Rica: the golden toad. The toad was elusive, he told them — but for a few weeks every spring, hundreds of them would emerge from the shadows to mate, lighting up the dense forest like brilliant spots of fire. Until one day, the golden toad vanished — never to be seen again.It's mysteries like these that have drawn scores of researchers out of their labs and into the wild — tugging them to explore, to climb distant mountains, to venture into faraway forests and discover or rediscover a creature, a place, some new clue.On this encore episode, we hear stories of those adventures. We talk with Trevor and Kyle about their quest to find out what happened to the golden toad — and what they ultimately discovered. We hear the epic tale of writer Kim Frank's travels to India in search of wild Asian elephants. And we talk with conservation ecologist Ryan Almeida about how the global wildlife trade is affecting certain species and their habitats. We talk with brothers Kyle and Trevor Ritland — a writer and documentary filmmaker, respectively — about their search for the mythical golden toad, a presumed-extinct species that hasn't been seen for over three decades, and what they learned in their travels through the cloud forests of Costa Rica. Their book is “The Golden Toad: An Ecological Mystery and the Search for a Lost Species.” About 10 years ago, writer Kim Frank set out to understand why wild elephants were trampling people in India. But her journey and the human-wildlife conflict was far more complex than she imagined — taking her down dead ends, meeting with an Indian princess, and finally coming face-to-face with the forest giants.  They're the kind of animals you only expect to see in documentaries — green anacondas; giant alligator snapping turtles; even the deadly black mamba — but around the world, millions of these often-dangerous animals are sold as pets. We talk with conservation ecologist Ryan Almeida about what fuels the wildlife trade, its effects on native habitats, and what happens when these pets escape into new ecosystems.

She Left Her Body at 15: Laura Hoorweg on Grief, Mediumship, and the Other Side Episode Description What happens when your consciousness leaves your body, but you are still fully aware of who you are? At 15 years old, Laura Hoorweg was standing near the edge of a cliff in the Canadian wilderness when she says she suddenly found herself looking down at her own body. Moments later, she was above the Earth, then surrounded by galaxies, before being abruptly pulled back into her physical body. That experience changed the way she understood death, consciousness, and the human soul. In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier talks with Laura, a spiritual counselor, intuitive coach, psychic, and medium who helps people navigate grief, trauma, burnout, major life transitions, and the patterns that can leave them feeling disconnected from themselves. Laura shares how leaving a 30-year corporate career and suddenly losing her partner led to an intense period of grief and spiritual searching. Her healing journey took her through Brazil, an ayahuasca retreat in the Peruvian Amazon, yoga training in Costa Rica, and a deeply personal trip to Hawaii to scatter her partner's ashes. Stephanie and Laura explore what a medium does, how mediumship differs from psychic work, why some people appear to wait until loved ones leave the room before passing, and how messages from those who have died may help people work through guilt, regret, and unfinished emotions. They also discuss intuition, meditation, synchronicities, fear, discernment, astral travel, remote viewing, and what Laura calls "Schoolhouse Earth," the belief that life's challenges give the soul an opportunity to grow. This is a conversation about grief, the mystery of consciousness, and the question that follows so many life-changing experiences: Are we more than our physical bodies? The experiences and spiritual beliefs discussed in this episode belong to the guest and are shared for reflection and conversation. This episode is not a substitute for medical, mental health, grief, or spiritual care. Ayahuasca and other psychoactive substances can carry serious physical and psychological risks, and their legal status varies by location.

What started as a simple trip to Patrik's 40-year Walnut High School reunion in Idyllwild turned into one of the most emotional weekends we've ever shared. We take you behind the scenes of every hilarious, awkward and heartfelt moment—from classmates joking about escaping to Costa Rica, oversized breakfasts with SnowWhite90210, and our failed attempt at "hiking," to tequila shots on the reunion red carpet, luxury watches, mountain adventures and why Pol spent half the weekend trying to wake up a very sleepy Patrik. Then everything changed. One of Patrik's former high school football bullies—the same person who admitted to bullying him for being gay and even spit on him during a school play—walked across the room after 40 years to apologize. We relive the emotional conversation, what forgiveness really means, and why Pol wasn't about to let him off the hook without asking the question everyone else was thinking. We also share the hilarious disaster of Patrik's misspelled reunion name badge (again!), discovering the memorial table for classmates we've lost, reconnecting with old friends, hearing about Patrik's very first girlfriend, dancing the night away, reliving California's infamous high school smoking section, and laughing over stories only classmates from the Class of '86 could appreciate. Along the way we talk about growing older, chasing dreams, finding happiness, surviving high school, and realizing just how far life has taken us—from Walnut High School to television, fashion, radio and beyond. We also revisit the emotional story of Pol being honored by his Armenian school years ago, the acceptance speech that accidentally left Patrik out, and why they're still laughing about it today. Of course, no episode would be complete without Armenian Coffee Reading moments, SnowWhite90210 stealing the spotlight, travel tips for Idyllwild, a shout-out to Raj and The Bunkhouse, plenty of celebrity-style fashion commentary, and the playful banter that makes our marriage—and this podcast—so much fun. If you've ever wondered whether you should attend your high school reunion, this episode may just convince you to go... because sometimes healing, forgiveness, unexpected laughter and lifelong friendships are waiting 40 years later.

Who am I? That was the question Glenda kept asking herself when she first moved from Costa Rica to the US. She was not able to communicate and felt terrified to even answer the phone or turn on her camera in a video call. In this conversation, my student Glenda shares her journey from feeling powerless and dependent on her husband for everything, to building her own dog training business, hosting conversation groups and book clubs, and now raising her daughter… all in English :)  I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did ♥️

Send us Fan MailWe sit down with travel expert Angie Orth, host of Traveling with AAA and founder of AngieAway.com, to talk about the kind of travel that feels vivid and real: big bucket list wins, smart planning, and what to do when the “easy route” disappears overnight. Angie takes us from a Maldives liveaboard dive retreat with whale sharks and tiger sharks to the moment war-related airspace closures strand travelers and force a costly, creative path home. Along the way, we dig into practical travel advice that actually matters, like staying flexible, knowing alternate flight routes, and budgeting for disruption so you can make decisions fast instead of panicking. We also swap destination stories and grounded tips: Bahamas island hopping in Exuma with wildlife you would not expect, Egypt travel and why a guide can make culture shock feel like discovery, and a quick-hit Las Vegas trip built around the Sphere and great food. Plus, there is Costa Rica dental tourism, a brutal bullet ant bite, a Natchez Trace Parkway road trip warning about national park speeding tickets, Finger Lakes wine on a budget, Kauai hiking reality checks, and an Alaska finale featuring northern lights and grizzlies. **Angie Orth describes herself as a tour guide for global shenanigans, worldwide wanderlust, and misadventures near and far. Podcast host Lea Lane has traveled to over 100 countries, and has written nine books, including the award-winning Places I Remember  (Kirkus Reviews star rating, and  'one of the top 100 Indie books of  the year').

Industry: UNPLUGGED Retreat Get Details HEREI did an experiment: leave my phone at home for a 10-hour music festival and see what happens. Here's the thing — I wasn't scared of getting lost. I was scared of who I'd be without something to check, capture, or Google. So today I'm telling you exactly what happened when I unplugged — and why it's the whole reason Industry Unplugged exists.As hairstylists and salon owners, we are constantly absorbing other people's energy while running on decision fatigue — and most of us don't even clock it until we're depleted. This episode is my real-time experiment in pulling my mind out of "what do I need to capture" and back into "what am I actually experiencing." Right?In this episode, we cover:Why every single person I told about this experiment called it "dangerous" — and what that reveals about our relationship with our phonesWhat happened when I swapped my phone for a Camp Snap camera for a dayThe moment I realized picking up my phone was like going to a mental gym I didn't know I'd stopped attendingWhy being present felt more restorative than a full night of scrolling to decompressHow this one 10-hour experiment became the entire foundation for the Industry Unplugged retreathairstylist podcast, personal development podcast for hairstylists, salon owner burnout, hairstylist mental health, digital detox for hairstylists, decision fatigue salon owners, being present as a hairstylist, unplugged retreat for hairstylistsMentioned in this episode:Industry: UNPLUGGED Retreat Join me and a small group of ambitious, seasoned women in the hair industry for a week in Costa Rica, April 2027!

This week, the Good Moms are joined by Deante' Kyle, creator and host of the Grits & Eggs Podcast, for a conversation that challenges everything we think we know about masculinity, patriarchy, fatherhood, accountability, and modern relationships. From breaking down why "red pill" content has taken over the internet to discussing why boys are often deprived of affection, Deante offers a perspective that is thoughtful, funny, and guaranteed to spark conversation. The group dives into gender roles, religion, power, emotional intimacy, and what it really means to raise emotionally healthy men in today's world. In this episode, you can expect to hear: Why Deante believes patriarchy hurts men just as much as women A powerful conversation about fatherhood, emotional intimacy, and raising boys Why accountability feels so rare in modern relationships and society Religion, power, and the stories we've inherited about gender roles Red pill culture, dating discourse, and why outrage keeps winning online The surprising connection between affection, masculinity, and how men learn to love Trigger: rapid-fire takes on feminism, religion, fatherhood, accountability, and more Bad Choice of the Week: relationship dilemmas, parenting questions, and navigating difficult conversations This episode doesn't aim to settle the debate—it invites one. Tune in for an honest, nuanced conversation about modern masculinity, healthy relationships, parenting, and the cultural narratives shaping the way men and women relate to each other.
