In this very personal episode, I'm opening up about one of the most profound experiences of my life—sitting with the sacred plant medicine San Pedro in Peru. I had no idea just how deeply this journey would open me up. What I thought would be a beautiful ceremony in nature turned into a powerful heart-opening that unraveled layers I didn't even know I was carrying.I'll share what it felt like to be held by the energy of the Andes, guided by the wisdom of the medicine, and cracked open in a way that was both humbling and liberating. San Pedro brought me back to the essence of who I am—it showed me how to listen with my heart, trust the Earth, and soften into a space of deep connection and truth.This is the story of what unfolded, what healed, and what stayed with me. If you've ever been curious about plant medicine, or if you're walking your own path of awakening and healing, I invite you to listen with an open heart. Peru changed me—and I'm honoured to share that journey with you.

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Ellen Langer, Ph.D., professor of psychology at Harvard University and the world's leading researcher on the mind-body connection and the power our thinking has on our physical health. She explains how specific ways of framing and asking questions about the world shape our physical health and rate of aging. Dr. Langer also explains how our perception of time and control significantly impact our rate of physical healing, hormones, immune system, and longevity. She describes mindfulness as a way of framing life, not simply a meditation or other practice, and discusses data showing how to use one's mind to overcome health challenges and achieve remarkable outcomes. Dr. Langer is a luminary and pioneer in researching the relationship between the mind and body with scientific rigor. Her work and our discussion are applicable to women and men of all ages and walks of life. Read the full episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

In this episode, podcast co-hosts Dr. Dwight Stoll and Dr. James Grinias talk with Dr. Benjamin Garcia. Dr. Garcia is the Raymond H. Wittcoff Distinguished Professor and Head of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics in the School of Medicine at Washington University in St. Louis. His research interests primarily focus on the development of mass spectrometry-based proteomic approaches for the analysis of post-translational modifications of proteins (PTMs) and modified proteomes. His group specializes in high-throughput and quantitative analysis of many classes of modified proteins, especially epigenetic histone PTMs. He is a prolific author and scientific leader, with an h-index approaching 120. He has received a LOT of awards to date, but we sat down with him at the Eastern Analytical Symposium where he was recognized for his recent EAS Award for Outstanding Achievement in Mass Spectrometry. In the conversation we talk about the origins of Dr. Garcia's interests in analytical science, mass spectrometry, and biomedical research, and he shares his thoughts about the current state and near future for technologies used for biomolecule separations including peptides, proteins, and oligonucleotides. We also discuss Dr. Garcia's highly impactful efforts to promote participation in the analytical sciences by people from all backgrounds, and he shares some thoughts about the “to-do list” for his upcoming term as chair of the ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry.

With the election results freshly in, emotions are running high—some are overjoyed, others are disappointed, and many are left wondering, “What happens next?” But here's the truth: our freedom, happiness, and sense of purpose are far too precious to let anyone else define them.  Regardless of who's in office, it's time to rise above division, embrace love and unity, and fully step into our roles as co-creators of a brighter, more conscious world. Every day, we're casting votes not just at the ballot box, but in the energy we bring, the choices we make, and the lives we live.

 “Addiction is often seen as a mere psychological ailment, but I believe that it is a spiritual journey". In this week's Soul Talk episode, I dive deep into understanding the spiritual roots of addiction, exploring how these struggles go far beyond simple habits or willpower. I uncover how addictions—whether to substances, approval, or even achievements—often have roots in deep-seated pain, unmet emotional needs, and unresolved trauma. Instead of viewing addiction solely as a negative force, I challenge us to see it as a misguided attempt at wholeness, an unconscious way to self-soothe and cope when other tools are missing.  This shift in perspective allows us to approach our addictions and struggles with compassion rather than judgment. I discuss how awareness is our first step: by recognizing our triggers, we create space to pause and make new, healthier choices instead of simply reacting. Breaking free from these patterns doesn't happen overnight, but it starts by understanding the “why” behind the habit.  Listen to this episode and learn some key insights into the journey of healing and self-empowerment. Timestamps:  (00:01:19) – The origins of addiction. (00:04:21) – Ego and its connection to addiction. (00:08:18) – The role of self awareness in overcoming addiction. (00:11:37) – Emphasizing the significance of being present and mindful. (00:17:27) – Techniques and practices to become more conscious. (00:21:05) – Integrating meditation into the journey of recovery. (00:24:02) – Addressing  the underlying feelings of loneliness, fear and unworthiness. (00:25:11) – Seeing addiction not just as a challenge but an opportunity for spiritual growth. Some Questions I Ask: What are the underlying psychological factors that contribute to addiction? How can individuals identify their triggers and patterns of behavior related to addiction? What are some effective strategies for overcoming addictive behaviors? In what ways can emotional healing play a role in recovery from addiction? What role does community support play in the recovery process from addiction? In This Episode You Will Learn:  Understand how addiction operates as a complex interplay between the subconscious mind and emotional patterns. Effective strategies for dismantling the grip of addiction and reclaiming your freedom. Discover the importance of self-awareness in identifying triggers and harmful behaviors associated with addiction. How addressing underlying emotional issues can lead to sustainable recovery from addiction. How to master techniques to cultivate resilience, helping you navigate challenges without reverting to addictive behaviors. How to recognize the transformative power of community support in overcoming addiction and fostering lasting change.

Stephen was born to a single mother at The Willows Maternity Sanitarium in Kansas City, Missouri in 1949. Kansas City was the hub of adoption in America for over four decades, and some 30,000 babies were born here over those decades. Stephen was later adopted by his parents six months later in Iowa. He always knew of his adoption but at age 13, he told my mother he wanted to know more. She reacted with hostility, and from that moment Stephen vowed he would find his birth mother and the facts of his adoption, no matter what. After 30 years of detective work, He found her, recently released from a half-way house on the East Coast. At age 44, Stephen and his wife and I adopted their then four year old son. Having given up his search for his birthfather, Stephen was contacted by a “first cousin" two years ago through 23 and Me, who said he was quite sure that his mother was my half-sister. In turn, he discovered the name and family history of his birth father and found he has four half sisters, all of whom are close to him in age. Subsequently, he began writing his memoir and finished a first draft five months later. Stephen likes to say that adoption has not defined his life, but it did frame it.

Speaking on stage is one of the fastest ways to grow your visibility, build brand authority, and connect with your audience. But you don't have to wait for the invitation to come to you–you can create your own stage by hosting a live or in-person event.  Shay Wheat is a visionary entrepreneur and CEO of Grace and Ease Productions, supporting entrepreneurs with event-based marketing and sales strategies. She and her team of Certified Event Producers™ produce impactful events to help entrepreneurs build authority, credibility, and visibility while rapidly scaling their businesses and saving time and money.​​ Shay has produced events from 50 to 4,000+ attendees and collaborated with well-known celebrities such as Dr. Oz, Lisa Nichols, Dr. Claire Zammit, Bill Baren, Alison J. Prince, Josh Turner, and many others. Her clients have made over $24 million in revenue, gaining over 3,500 new clients and changing the lives of over 16,000 attendees. The Event Promise A successful event isn't just about selling people into your program. You need to provide a transformative experience, whether your attendees decide to do business with you or not. Shay calls this your “event promise” – the result your event will deliver. This should be related to but separate from your program's promise.  Start by reverse engineering your goals for the event. If the goal is to convert people into your high-ticket coaching program, what do they need to know about that program? What beliefs need to shift and what information do they need to make a buying decision? The idea is that your audience could take the information from your event and do it on their own, or they could choose to take the shortcut and work with you. Tips for Hosting a Profitable Event At a well-executed event, you can expect to convert between 10-30% of attendees into paying clients. Some of Shay's clients have closed up to 47% of the room. The exact number depends on the size of your event, the relationship you have with your audience, and whether your attendees are existing clients or not.  In-person events are effective but notoriously expensive. One area to save money is your contract negotiation with venues and vendors. Read over your contract in detail (or have your event planner do this for you) to make sure you aren't paying for any unnecessary clauses. Lastly, consider what stage of business you're in and how your event fits into your vision. If you're just starting out, you may want to focus on growing your audience before trying to fill 500 seats at an in-person event. If you don't enjoy speaking in front of big crowds, maybe an intimate retreat is a better option. Tailor your event plan to meet your business strategy, whether you're focused on lead generation, scaling, or client retention.  Enjoy this episode with CEO Shay Wheat… Quotes “Part of my superpower is helping to ground the client and to do things with as much ease and grace as possible, and that's how the name of the company came about. “That's a huge piece of it, it's not just about ‘I'm going to sell people into my program.' No, you're investing in your audience, whether or not they do business with you.

Synchronicity plays a huge part in our lives.  It leads us to new people and experiences that often changes the course we're on.  It also presents situations to increase our awareness and to great loves and forgiveness.For instance, three times in my life I was led to an animal in distress that probably would have died if I had not intervened. The first time was a swan in the middle of the road on the first street bridge in downtown Austin, Texas. I stopped my car during  rush hour traffic, caught the swan and carried it down to the river. When I returned, my car was still where I left it.  Austin has three bridges crossing  the little Colorado River in that area. I'm absolutely convinced the timing of this event was synchronized  by the universe, calling me to use that bridge to assist the swan. Moving us through experiences like a child in wonder.  When we recognize it, synchronicity shows up more often as a friend.  It orchestrates events that harness our attention and guide us toward dreams and breakthroughs.  Setting the stage for love compassion, prosperity, and success.This episode is a candid conversation between three friends about the synchronized meetings that led them to life changing events they'd never imagined.Music by:Dan Vega CD Capture MagicSong: Dreamsdanvegamusic.comThe Copper Heart Art for Heart SenseArtist Catherine StefanavageWebsite:  iamcatherine.comEmail: iamcatherine16@gmail.comJazz Vocalists Featured on this episode:bethanimusic.comdonnamenthol.comA huge Thank You to all our Sponsors!

Hey Friends, In this episode, we emphasize the importance of vulnerability, as Katherine shares an impactful event wherein she suffered a seizure while abroad in Portugal, erasing her prepared speech to be delivered at a tech conference. Despite the setback, Katherine still went on stage, shared her experience with the audience, and gave her speech - an act of vulnerability that was well received. As you'll hear in our conversation, this event sparked a newfound approach to her personal and business interactions. Since then, she uses vulnerability and genuine curiosity as tools to foster psychologically safe spaces and deeper connections.  From being the little girl who sold shares in her "company" and played HR (even firing her own mother!) to the traveling entrepreneur and speaker that she is now, Katherine McCord has had quite a journey. Katherine has multiple physical and neuro diversities, ranging from MCAS and seizures to Bipolar and OCD, and says, “I am successful WITH my diagnosis, not in spite of them”. Born in Dallas, Texas she began rescuing animals early on and as an adult became a proud foster mama, even for wolves and exotic animals. She currently lives in Florida and runs a company called Titan Management, which she founded in 2014 with the purpose of shaking up HR and recruiting. She also hosts two shows, Career Launch Live and Super Mania Show, and is the COO and Board Member of the international neurodiversity and nonlinear group, The Octopus Movement. Highlighting the power of being vulnerable and asking questions, Katherine encourages others to embrace this approach for exponential personal and professional growth.
