In today’s episode, I’m shifting gears slightly. I’ve decided to repurpose an interview I took part in earlier this year with a very dear friend of mine and former NFL star, Ray Lewis! I was fortunate enough to be featured on his podcast, Everyday Greatness, where we discussed all of the home truths and complexities that are so prevalent when it comes to personal development. We also speak on the very real and confronting issue of ingrained racism. In this interview, I open up about an extremely significant experience I faced in my younger years, which acted as a catalyst to many of the limiting and harmful beliefs I had regarding my race. So many of the opinions I hold today have been born out of the persistency and commitment I’ve had towards my own self-worth and I hope that by sharing these lessons, you can walk away feeling more enriched and resilient than ever before.

Small towns are often filled with big hearts. Joining me on the podcast today is Sadie Swier, Community Outreach Coordinator for ‘Downtown Sioux Falls’, a non-profit focused on the economic expansion and fiscal growth of the area. Throughout the years, Sioux Falls has been home to dozens of successful community-oriented programs and events which have enriched the city and created an overwhelmingly inviting and friendly culture for all who come to visit. Most recently, the town has caught the attention of the multi-billion dollar company ‘Amazon’ and has been a huge selling point for organizations due to its thriving and diverse atmosphere. It’s a telling sign that by investing in small businesses and creating a sense of collaboration amongst people, we will start to see really positive results on every side and can expect to see greater and more prominent involvement from larger corporations. The work that Sadie and others like her are doing within Sioux Falls is so vital to keeping the passion and spirit of this community alive. Through events such as ‘Sculpture Walk’, ‘River Fest’, ‘Parade of Lights’ and so many others, the town has developed a greater appreciation for cultural and artistic endeavors and has been exposed to so many important and educational experiences.

The fitness industry and media as a whole perpetuate this idea of what a ‘healthy’ body looks like. I know women who had abs but didn’t have a menstrual cycle and were miserable despite their posts on how great life was!

Neha is relatively new to the fitness space, having worked as a Coach and Personal Trainer for just over two years, but has brought so many valuable life experiences to the role. In this episode, Neha recounts what her experience losing eight stone was like for her and shares how that period in her life shifted her opinions surrounding the fitness industry as a whole. She shares her goals within the Coaching field and what she hopes to achieve when it comes to the success of her clients, as well as her philosophies on everyone’s individual journeys.

The conversation around marijuana and its use within medical contexts has been ongoing for so many years now, but are we any closer to finding a middle ground? For many states across the US, the legalisation of medicinal and recreational cannabis has been the norm for some time, but for others it’s an ever evolving and complex issue that has landed many in some awful situations. An increasing number of unjust incarcerations have taken place as a result of racial profiling and outdated prohibition laws, making the fight for fairer practices on a Federal scale all the more important. In today’s episode I’m joined by Livi McKay, Co-founder at ‘Natural Alternatives Now’ and passionate Cannabis Activist! Through her own experiences with chronic seizures, Livi had to reframe the way she thought about medicinal marijuana and unlearn many of her own misconceptions surrounding the substance. We’ll be discussing how the use of medical marijuana helped her personally, the historical contexts to some of the drug’s negative connotations, and how others have responded to Livi’s story.

Today I’m joined by a very special guest, my father Jack Oholendt! He is a Certified Strengths and Conditioning Coach, Teacher, and Motivational Speaker and was kind enough to share some of the wisdom he’s gained throughout his life with myself and my listeners. The values we learn early on in life are ones we tend to pass down when we eventually leave the nest and have children of our own. Empathy, kindness and personal development have always been a huge part of my life and have been something my parents actively taught me and my siblings growing up. My father has an interesting perspective on family values as someone who grew up with a parent in the military and travelled a lot throughout his early years. In this episode, we get into the lessons that were instilled in my dad from his own parents, his advice for others who started a family at a young age, as well as what the transition to becoming a grandparent has been like.

These past few weeks have been challenging, upsetting, and for a lot of us, eye-opening. It’s been a sombre time for black people in America in the wake of George Floyd’s murder and there is no excuse for the racial inequality that marginalized folk experience at the hands of police officers. It’s clear to see that the US has hit a breaking point and will not stand for these kinds of injustices any longer. The concern has even spread across the globe and brought to light similar issues that are faced outside of America. Though we are scared and taking on the emotional weight of all of this at the moment, we are not helpless. Many organizations and non-for-profits are actively taking donations and are constantly working to end violence towards people of color. Black-owned beauty brands such as Fenty Beauty and Pat McGrath Labs are also doing their part to be as inclusive as possible in their shade ranges and products, so every skin tone is considered in production. It’s up to us as consumers and allies to make a concerted effort to purchase from ethical brands and do our part in contributing to this movement however we can. I’ve listed all of the brands mentioned in this episode, as well as some racial justice organizations you can support and donate to as well. Thank you so much for listening!
