In this episode, Kara shares what it actually looked like to lose 30 pounds (and then 10 more) with a plan she loves, and the part she didn't expect — the 10 hours a week she got back in the process. About Dr. Kara Geoghegan:  Kara Geoghegan is a dedicated OB-GYN, devoted mother of four, wife and lifelong learner with a passion for helping others.

Ashley Conway came to me convinced she'd tried everything. A PA, planner, and overachiever to her core, she'd run the calorie-restriction route, the intense-cardio route, the I-just-need-a-better-spreadsheet route. The morning she called a friend to ask if bariatric surgery was her only option left, she found this podcast. Then she got pregnant — and messaged me asking if it even made sense to join the group. This episode is her honest answer to that question, and the story of how she lost 38 pounds, walked through pregnancy and postpartum without chasing a number, and built a relationship with herself she didn't know was possible. If her story stirs something in you, my next free live training, Lose 30 Pounds Without Calculating Anything, is happening Sunday, May 31st at 11am Eastern.

Have you ever put off going to the doctor because you wanted to lose the weight first? If that hits, this episode is for you. This week I'm joined by my client Erin Hennesey — former state senator, CPA, mom of two — who shares what it actually looked like to stop the on-again-off-again cycle and lose the weight in a way that feels like a lifestyle upgrade. We get into the parts most weight loss conversations skip: the perfectionism that quietly keeps overachievers stuck, and what changed when Erin finally stopped circling and started.   About Erin Hennessey:  Erin Hennessey is a Certified Public Accountant with extensive experience in the financial sector and public service. She graduated from Boston College's Carroll School of Management and began her career at PricewaterhouseCoopers. She has since worked with organizations including Callaway Golf Company, Resources Global Professionals, and the University of Northern Vermont. Erin has a long-standing commitment to community service, including serving the state of New Hampshire as Deputy Secretary of State, State Senator, and State Representative. She has also served on the boards of New Hampshire Public Television, North Country Home Health and Hospice, Littleton Regional Healthcare, and Woodsville Guaranty Savings Bank, and currently serves on the board of the New Hampshire Children's Health Foundation.

It's my birthday week and I want to celebrate it by talking about something I used to think was reserved for a select few — luck. The kind where weight comes off easier, where consistency feels natural, where some women just seem to have it figured out. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I feel better in my body in my 40s than I did in my early 30s. That is not good genetics, and it's not luck. It came from one specific decision I made in 2018, sitting with my newborn daughter and a calorie tracking app I was about to redownload for the hundredth time. In this episode, I'm walking you through that decision and the one question that changed everything.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/217 Register for the Live Training on May 31: https://burnstressloseweight.com/training

Certifications, techniques, and continuing education courses are a constant focus. But when it comes to learning the business side of running a clinic, that investment often disappears.The result? Highly skilled clinicians who still struggle with positioning, pricing, attracting patients, and building sustainable practices.In this episode, Dr. Earl breaks down the concept of career capital allocation—how the way you invest your time, money, and attention determines whether you remain a technician or eventually become an owner.If you're a chiropractic student thinking about opening a clinic or an associate chiropractor who knows you're capable of more, this conversation will challenge you to rethink how you're preparing for the future.

What if the most important predictor of how well you age is not your bloodwork, but your skeletal muscle mass? In this episode of StarrCast, Lisa Starr sits down with Alexia Brue, Founder and CEO of The Practice, to explore the rise of healthspan based fitness and why strength training may be the most powerful intervention for long term vitality. In this conversation Alexia shares how her journey from co-founding Well+Good to launching The Practice led her to build Greenwich's first personal training studio centered on healthspan, VO2 max, body composition, and measurable fitness biomarkers. Together, they unpack how wellness is evolving from lifestyle aspiration to outcomes driven performance and why proactive strength training is essential for aging well. What You'll Learn: Why healthspan, not just lifespan, should guide your fitness strategy How skeletal muscle mass impacts insulin sensitivity, bone density, brain health, and metabolic resilience What VO2 max and zone training reveal about cardiovascular longevity How undulating periodization improves strength gains and long term muscle development Why reassessment and fitness biomarker tracking are the next evolution of personal training Episode Highlights: 03:18 – How global bathhouse research shaped Alexia's entry into the wellness industry 10:42 – The rise of Well+Good and how digital media legitimized wellness as a business category 18:27 – What healthspan really means and how to "square the curve" of aging 26:55 – Why most midlife women are under muscled and what that means for long term vitality 33:40 – Inside The Practice: one method, five systems, and outcomes driven training 41:12 – VO2 max, zone 2 cardio, and the Norwegian 4x4 protocol explained 47:06 – Why reassessment and accountability redefine modern personal training Meet the Guest: Alexia Brue is the Founder and CEO of The Practice, a personal training studio built around healthspan and measurable fitness outcomes.

Johnny shares his journey from growing up in a violent environment in Philadelphia, surviving being shot at fourteen, and carrying that trauma into adulthood, to building multiple successful home service companies grounded in culture, accountability, and service. We unpack the early years of his construction and restoration businesses, the ceiling he kept hitting, and the pivotal decision to launch a 1-Tom Plumber franchise that changed the trajectory of his growth. Johnny opens up about nearly losing his marriage, battling crippling anxiety and panic attacks, and the hard internal work required to become a steadier husband, father, and leader. The conversation dives into culture meetings, mentorship inside the company, hiring for character over experience, and Johnny's long-term vision to build a trades-based training pipeline that gives young people a different path forward. This is not just a business growth story. It is a story about confronting your past, doing the work to change, and building something meaningful enough to impact the next generation. Hope you enjoy.

What does it take to build a profitable hydrotherapy spa brand in three different markets and scale it to $10 million in annual revenue? In this episode, Harmony Oschefski and Cedar Hwang share how the bodhi spa grew from a bold idea sparked in Maui to a multi location wellness company rooted in contrast therapy, operational discipline, and community driven growth. We explore how sauna culture, cold plunge therapy, and a thoughtfully designed water journey can become the foundation of a scalable spa business model. This conversation goes beyond wellness trends and dives into infrastructure, financing, Department of Health compliance, maintenance systems, staffing strategy, and brand positioning in a rapidly growing wellness economy. What You'll Learn: How to design a hydrotherapy spa business model that balances water journey revenue with massage and facial services Why contrast therapy and cold plunge trends are only sustainable when supported by serious infrastructure and maintenance systems What it takes to secure SBA financing for a first time concept and how to successfully appeal a denial How to scale from one spa location to three while maintaining brand consistency and operational excellence Why weekly pool draining, state of the art filtration systems, and a dedicated maintenance manager protect long term profitability Episode Highlights: 03:12 – Growing up with sauna culture and cold plunges in Nova Scotia 11:48 – The Maui moment that sparked the bodhi spa business idea 18:27 – Getting denied for SBA financing and how they successfully appealed 26:04 – What a hydrotherapy water journey includes and why contrast therapy works 34:15 – Rebuilding the entire operating model during COVID to satisfy Department of Health requirements 41:22 – Scaling to Providence and Norwood and what changes with each new market 47:36 – Why weekly pool draining and a full time maintenance manager are non negotiable 53:18 – Reaching $10 million in revenue and building infrastructure for long term brand sustainability   Meet the Guests: Harmony Oschefski is Co Owner and Managing Partner of the bodhi spa. With a background in life sciences and functional health, she brings a complementary wellness perspective to spa development and operational strategy. Cedar Hwang is Co Owner and Managing Partner of the bodhi spa and a former 12 meter yacht captain. Her leadership experience and operational discipline inform the systems, staffing, and execution behind the brand's growth. Together, they have built three bodhi spa locations across New England and employ nearly 100 team members. Tools, Frameworks, and Strategies Mentioned: The bodhi spa Water Journey hydrotherapy circuit Contrast therapy using sauna and cold plunge sequencing SBA financing and structured loan appeal strategy Dedicated maintenance management with weekly full system resets Infrastructure first scaling model with General Managers at each location State of the art filtration, HVAC, and pool monitoring systems Gender inclusive design and dual temperature cold plunge strategy Closing Insight: The bodhi spa's growth story shows that the wellness industry rewards both inspiration and precision. Sauna culture and cold plunge therapy may attract attention, but long term success depends on disciplined maintenance, regulatory compliance, staff training, and operational infrastructure. As Harmony shares in the episode, the goal was never just to open a spa. It was to build a company that could stand on its own.   Looking for expert advice in Spa Consulting, with live training and online learning?

What if the pressure to reinvent yourself every January is actually pulling you further away from who you already are? In this episode of StarrCast Podcast, host Lisa Starr sits down with Jennifer Walsh to explore why remembering your natural intelligence matters more than optimizing your life, your body, or your productivity.

What You'll Learn: Why the "new year, new you" mindset can create unnecessary guilt and burnout How natural intelligence differs from artificial intelligence and why it matters now The role of quiet, stillness, and sensory awareness in restoring mental clarity How journaling, walking, and embodied practices support emotional resilience Why biohacking and constant measurement can disconnect us from bodily intuition Episode Highlights: 04:10 – Why "new year, new you" assumes something is broken 10:45 – Consumer wellness vs. inner understanding 18:30 – Reclaiming ancestral intelligence and bodily intuition 27:05 – Quiet as a practice in a noisy, digital world 38:20 – Grief, journaling, and the power of honest reflection 49:10 – Biohacking vs. bio-remembering 57:40 – How wellness and hospitality can restore humanity Meet the Guest: Jennifer Walsh is the founder and Creative Director of the Lost Art of Being Human Lab.

Information access: While many have Copilot licenses, usage is low beyond basic tasks like email and meeting summaries. The main challenge with adoption is providing guidance within apps like PowerPoint, Excel, Dynamics, and Word so users can access help exactly when they need it. This is something Rehmani's company, VisualSP, and his training platform, copilottrainingpackage.com, specialize in. "I'm a big proponent of giving people 'at the moment need' information," he notes.Training paths: Copilottrainingpackage.com enables users to go down different "training paths," explains Rehmani. Specifically, there are pre-built PowerPoint training modules covering key topics like prompt creation and preventing hallucinations. Additionally, there's learning management system (LMS)-ready video content on Copilot use cases in Word, Excel, and other tools for on-demand learning. Finally, the platform offers optional live training sessions for trainers and power users to ensure effective adoption and ROI from Copilot. "At the end of the day, it's all about making Copilot into ROI and not just an expense layer."What to expect: Rehmani describes the "anatomy" of the program. It uses seven modules to teach trainers and power users how to craft effective prompts, reduce Copilot errors, and apply specific workflows for high-impact ROI. Then, participants share this knowledge internally, enabling time savings and efficiency across their organizations.End-of-year pricing: Users can take advantage of this resource with special pricing through the end of the year. Users can purchase the standalone package for $4,950 or the package and live training for $8,950, all of which could be delivered in 2026, explains Rehmani. Visit Cloud Wars for more.
