What's up, you Beautiful Beasts! Welcome back to the show! In this episode, I sit down with Bill Quateman, International Director of Advanced BioCell, for a conversation that goes far beyond supplements and regenerative medicine. We talk about why health is so much bigger than food and exercise, what it means to have real energy, and how many people are walking around “not sick, but not well.” Bill shares why he believes symptoms are messages, how removing physical, mental, and emotional interferences can support healing, and why curiosity matters when it comes to understanding your body. We also explore self-awareness, old stories, and the idea that sometimes the biggest shift is not fixing yourself, but learning to see yourself differently.As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.Bio: Bill Quateman has spent more than three decades studying holistic health, regenerative medicine, and the connection between mindset and healing. His background includes a 32-year mentorship with a Northwestern University professor of psychiatry, work alongside leaders in orthomolecular medicine, and experience coaching performers and professionals toward better health and function.Since 2000, Bill has focused on areas including ozone therapy, nutrition testing, stem cell therapy, and regenerative medicine. Today, through Advanced BioCell, he helps people better understand their health, explore personalized options, and work toward what he calls PeakSpan: living your best life for as long as possible.Music by Prymary: Sean Entrikin (my hot husband) on guitar, Chris Quirarte on drums, Smiley Sean on keyboards, Rob Young on bass, and Jaxon Duane on vocals.Want to be a guest on the show?

What's up, you Beautiful Beasts! Welcome back to the show! In this episode, I sit down with wellness coach Amanda Bearce to talk about something I think we all need a little more of... permission. Permission to stop trying to reinvent your entire life every Monday, permission to stop following everyone else's health rules, and permission to start asking yourself one simple question: What do I need right now? We dive into Amanda's idea of "self-care snacks," tiny moments of care that fit into real life instead of requiring a weekend retreat or a perfect schedule. We also get into our shared experiences with CrossFit, disordered eating, perfectionism, parenting, rest, and learning to move our bodies because we love them instead of because we're trying to earn something. If you've ever felt guilty for slowing down, struggled to put yourself on your own priority list, or felt like self-care had to be all or nothing, this conversation is your reminder that healing often starts with the smallest, kindest choices. As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.Bio: Amanda Bearce is a board-certified health and wellness coach and founder of Simply Wellness with Amanda. She helps women who are exhausted from doing it all stop trying to do wellness perfectly and instead build flexible, realistic ways to support their energy and well-being in real life. Through her signature Self-Care Snacks approach, Amanda teaches simple tools that create sustainable change without overwhelming routines.

What's up you Beautiful Beasts! Welcome back to the show! In this episode, I sit down with Debbie Simmons, nonprofit founder, CEO, mom of nine, grandma to fifteen, and someone whose own health crisis completely changed the way she thinks about healing. We talk about why whole-human health is so much bigger than food and exercise, how chronic stress can quietly shape our bodies and lives, and why building trust with yourself matters just as much as building trust with anyone else. Debbie shares the powerful story of an injury that refused to heal, what it taught her about stress, self-awareness, and slowing down, and why she believes the goal isn't perfection, it's taking the next best step. We also dive into noticing your own patterns without judgment, learning from the data your life gives you, and how small shifts can create massive change over time. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, stuck in survival mode, or wondered why your body seems to be fighting you, I think this conversation will leave you feeling hopeful and reminded that healing is an adventure, not a finish line. As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.Bio: Debbie Simmons is the Founder and CEO of Anchor Point and the creator of the Architecture of Trust, a management discipline that examines how leadership alignment, decision clarity, and execution systems shape trust and performance inside organizations. Through her work with executive teams, she helps leaders diagnose structural friction that slows decisions, weakens alignment, and disrupts execution, and redesign the systems that allow organizations to move faster and perform with greater reliability.

La Crosse’s household survival budget. The bare minimum it takes for a person, a family, to get by. It’s called the ALICE report. It was just released by the Great Rivers United Way and executive director Mary Kay Wolf stopped in the WIZM studio for the Rick Solem Show to discuss it. ALICE stands for (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed). It comes out every two years and looks at households that earn more than the Federal Poverty Level, but less than the basic cost of living for the county. Wolf talks about the report, where La Crosse stands and how we can improve our situation — whether that’s through talking with elected representatives, helping groups in the area that work in these fields or donating. Listen live weekdays at 5:06 p.m. Find the pod on Spotify, Apple Podcast or here.

Description:For 15 years, Tim Schraeder Rodriguez quietly shaped the digital face of some of the biggest names in evangelical Christianity — Willow Creek, Hillsong, Elevation — helping mega-churches reach millions with a message of radical welcome. The painful irony? He was living proof of their unspoken rules. Useful in the shadows. Unacceptable in the light.In this conversation, Tim joins Jen and Amy to talk about his new memoir, Conversion Therapy Dropout, and the full arc of his story: growing up adopted with a sense of "anxious apartness," signing the purity pledge as a kid who already knew he was gay, eight years in the loosely-held and deeply damaging world of conversion therapy, and eventually a breaking point that brought him to his knees — and then, slowly, to himself.Today, the conversation swirls around what conversion therapy actually looks like from the inside (football coaches, Mary Kay consultants, and all), the complicated grief of leaving a community that was also your career and your family, how the Pulse Orlando shooting became Tim's personal line in the sand, and what it took to find his way back to faith — this time, in church basements with other sober queer people finding a God of their own understanding.They also get into the current state of conversion therapy in America, why it's more active and accessible than most people realize, and what the rest of us — regular people who just live on their street and go to their jobs — can actually do about it.This one is hard and beautiful and hopeful. Don't miss it.Thought-provoking Quotes:★ "I was living proof of their unspoken rules. I was useful in the shadows, but unacceptable in the light." – Tim Schraeder Rodriguez★ "It really kind of disintegrates you in body, mind and spirit because you're acting and being something and someone that you're not." – Tim Schraeder Rodriguez★ "Freedom wasn't finally becoming who they said I was supposed to be, but finally embracing who I believe God created me to be." – Tim Schraeder Rodriguez★ "More transformation was happening in church basements than was ever happening upstairs." – Tim Schraeder Rodriguez★ "I finally feel like I'm living from a place of honesty and truth. I sense and feel God's presence with me today now more as an openly gay man than I ever did in the years I was in conversion therapy." – Tim Schraeder Rodriguez Resources Mentioned in This Episode:➢ Dissenting Harmony - Amy's Rage Choir - https://dissentingharmony.betterworld.org/➢ Conversion Therapy Dropout: A Queer Story of Faith and Belonging by Timothy Schraeder Rodriguez - https://amzn.to/48smCCv➢ Conversion Therapy Dropout audiobook - https://amzn.to/3OZULmD➢ Exodus International - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exodus_International➢ The Trevor Project — thetrevorproject.org➢ ...
What's up you Beautiful Beasts! Welcome back to the show! In this episode, Harris Eddy Hill returns for a very different conversation than our first one, and honestly, we spent a good chunk of it cry-laughing. We talk about why laughter is every bit as important as the serious healing work, how humor can help regulate the nervous system, and why some of the deepest connections in our lives are built through ridiculous jokes, family banter, and shared moments of absurdity. Along the way, we swap stories about laughing at funerals, inappropriate humor, workaholism, relationships, dad jokes, and why none of us want our headstones to read "Really good at spreadsheets." Beneath all the silliness, though, is a powerful reminder that life is short, joy matters, and maybe we're all just weird little humans trying to survive hard things, love each other well, and laugh whenever we can. Because sometimes healing doesn't sound like meditation music. Sometimes it sounds like snort-laughing with people who love you. Bio: Harris Eddie Hill (they/them) is a nonbinary podcaster, connection expert, best-selling author, and founder of The Secure Connection Method, a trauma-informed framework for building secure relationships in love, leadership, and life. A former NHS coach and sought-after speaker, Harris helps people move beyond emotional disconnection and into deeper trust, psychological safety, and lasting transformation. Through their own journey of surviving trauma, illness, family rejection, mental health struggles, and temporary paralysis, Harris brings a deeply human, practical approach to healing, connection, and emotional freedom.

Send us Fan MailYou worked for it. You hit the goal. The promotion, the milestone, the finish line you've been running toward for longer than you want to admit. And then you got there. And your inner critic did not say, 'We did it. We're good. We can rest.' It found something new to say. Something new to pick apart. Maybe it even got louder. If that's happened to you, nothing is wrong with you. But it is worth understanding.Angela and I have both lived this, and we get into all of it in this episode. We're kicking off a short arc connected to Angela's latest book, The Invisible Edge, exploring what actually drives our behavior when achievement keeps moving the goalpost on us. We dig into:Why hitting your goals can sometimes make the inner critic louder, not quieterWhat Angela's Mary Kay pink Cadillac story has to do with your current success plateauThe difference between working toward something and outrunning a beliefWhy procrastination is a perfectionism move (yes, really)How your body knows something is off before your brain catches upWhat 'bounce back ability' actually looks like in real lifeAngela shares the story of earning her first car in Mary Kay before she was twenty-five, achieving a goal she'd dreamed about in vivid detail every single night, and still feeling like an imposter the day she got there. That pattern followed her for another twenty-plus years, through a nervous breakdown, through therapy, through building and rebuilding her business, all the way to writing this book. And I share my own version of it: how I finally understood that procrastination isn't the opposite of perfectionism. It is perfectionism. It's our brain setting up an exit ramp so we don't have to face the question underneath: what if I try my best and it's still not enough?What you're going to walk away with from this episode is permission to stop treating your inner critic like an enemy who needs to be fired and start treating it like an indicator light on your dashboard. It's not telling you something is broken. It's telling you it's time to refuel. That reframe alone changes how you move forward.Press play right now. The version of you that keeps moving the goalpost deserves to understand why.Mentioned in this episode:The Invisible Edge by Angela Belford -- amazon.com/dp/0999186248Audiobook: Sami mentions it's available on Spotify Premium and other platforms -- verify current availability link before publishingbfreakingawesome.com You've done the work.

What's up you Beautiful Beasts! Welcome back to the show! In this episode, I sit down with Kitsy Higgins for a conversation that felt like two curious humans pulling apart all the rules we were handed and asking, "Wait… who decided this?"We talk about authenticity, intuition, confidence, loneliness, playfulness, and why so many of us spend years trying to fit into lives that don't actually feel like ours. Kitsy shares her own journey of learning to trust herself, embracing the things that bring her joy, and making big decisions that didn't always make sense to other people but felt deeply aligned with who she really is.Along the way, we explore why fun isn't childish, why feelings aren't something to fear, how loneliness can exist even when we're surrounded by people, and why healing isn't about arriving at some magical finish line. It's about continuing to grow, evolve, and give yourself permission to become more fully you.This episode is full of laughter, deep questions, unexpected tangents, and reminders that maybe the goal isn't to fit into someone else's version of life. Maybe the goal is to build a life that feels amazing to live.Because sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stop asking everyone else for permission and finally trust yourself.As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.Bio: Kitsy Higgins is a Manifesting Master and Intuition Expert who helps women create their dream life! After witnessing the impact she was making locally with her channeling business, she moved it online in 2017 to make a difference worldwide. During that time, she experienced a life-altering transformation that allowed her to reclaim her authenticity, confidence, power, and authority. When she's not spending time with her two boys, traveling the globe, or recording digital courses, she's organizing her two events in Pittsburgh.

Mary Kay Cabot joins Ken and Anthony to break down the Browns' quarterback battle, revealing that while Deshaun Watson started minicamp with the early edge, Shedeur Sanders has worked his way back into contention over the past two weeks. Mary Kay offers a mild critique of Todd Monken for not naming a starter yet, arguing it would help the team rally behind one guy during the five-week summer break. She also dismisses the Todd Monken job security chatter following the Myles Garrett trade and addresses whether the Browns would consider Brendan Sorsby if he enters the supplemental draft.
Ken and Anthony react to Mary Kay's bombshell that Watson actually led the QB competition early on, debating whether Shedeur closing the gap is a good sign or just a product of Watson looking unplayable. Ken makes his most pointed argument yet that starting Shedeur by default would be doing him a disservice, reiterating that going from the veteran to the young guy is always easier than the reverse. Plus, Ken teases a potential Andrew Berry move that could make him one of the best GMs in Browns history if it comes to fruition.

Fellow biographer and BIO member Lisa Napoli interviewed Mary Lisa Gavenas.
What up, Beasts? I talk with Himanish Goel about purpose, identity, spirituality, authenticity, and what happens when life takes you down paths you never expected. Himanish shares how he spent years feeling like he was walking through chaos, planting seeds he didn't always get to see grow, and slowly learning that sometimes the point is not forcing the outcome, but becoming more aware of who you are while you move through it. We talk about doing the thing for the sake of the thing, the danger of chasing someone else's version of success, the layers we collect from the world, and why silence, patience, and self-reflection can teach us more than constantly running toward the next thing. This one is deep, reflective, and a little existential in the best way. As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.Bio: Himanish Goel is an Experience Filmmaker with his eyes set on acting and producing. He believes life is best lived when you stop trying to control every moment and just let it breathe with you. Not the accidents that leave you shaken, but the ones that quietly shift everything in your life, the kind that sneak up on you and change the whole direction of where you're headed. Those unexpected turns, he believes, are what make life feel more real. And that belief is what lives at the heart of every story he tells.

The McGraw Show 5-22-26: Baseball Game, Dishwashers, Waymo, Vaping. Mary Kay and the End of The Late Show by
Browns beat reporter Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com joins Ken and Lima to sort through the OTA noise, confirming Watson took more first-team snaps early but Shedeur got the critical 11-on-11 period that matters most, which means the competition is real even if the optics favor the veteran. The Myles Garrett absence debate gets a definitive answer from Mary Kay — there's simply a different set of rules for generational players, and Todd Monken himself has said it's not a big deal. Judkins looking explosive in 11-on-11 is the best Browns news of the week, Petonio's future remains a genuine mystery, and Mary Kay draws the line on the Game 1 collapse being a Drive or Fumble-level moment — only if they lose the series does it belong in that conversation.
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comNancy and Sarah talk to journalist Mary Lisa Gavenas, whose new biography of cosmetics queen Mary Kay, Selling Opportunity, also traces the profound role that direct sales had in selling the American dream. It took a while for women to enter the salesforce, but once they did, oooh, watch out. Mary Kay, in particular, had a genius for sales, which she turned into an empire that exists to this day. Although the company largely sells skin care, Mary Kay also sold inspiration, a better life, transformation. As a pop-historical figure, she's part self-help guru, part social media influencer, part girlboss — but entirely a self-made woman.We talk about the resilience of 20th-century women who cared less about having the correct politics and more about feeding their family, the line between opportunity and exploitation, and (of course) those pink Cadillacs.Also discussed:* “I like women. Nancy is undecided.”* The power of a good sob story* Yankee peddlers!* Mary Kay seminars: Where tent revival meets Las Vegas floorshow* Billy Graham put himself through divinity school as a Fuller Brush salesman* Want to come over and see my new dust mop?* Mary Kay had six husbands* The Night of the Mary Kay Commandos* The founder of Tupperware was actually someone named “Tupper”* Also, Mr. Tupper thought he was the Leonardo DaVinci of his time* Pink bathtubs as aspirational* Did your grandmother work?* Is Mary Kay a Ponzi scheme?* The power of a “thank you” notePlus, Sarah learns the definition of “pin money,” Nancy creams over a new tinted moisturizer, Mary Lisa's dream of Aix-en-Provence includes hunting dogs, and much more.Gee, that paid subscription looks good on you ..

In this episode, hosts Ray Powell and Jim Carouso sit down with retired U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines MaryKay Carlson, who led America's embassy in Manila from July 2022 to January 2026, one of the most consequential periods in the modern history of the U.S.-Philippine alliance.Ambassador Carlson takes us inside the alliance at a moment of dramatic transformation: the 75th anniversary of the U.S.-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty, the 80th anniversary of diplomatic relations, the 10th anniversary of the 2016 Arbitral Award on the South China Sea, and the Philippines' year as ASEAN Chair under President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.. She walks us through the most dangerous flashpoints in the West Philippine Sea: the June 2024 ramming at Second Thomas Shoal (Ayungin) that cost a Filipino sailor his thumb, and the August 2025 Scarborough Shoal incident in which a Chinese Coast Guard cutter collided with its own PLA Navy destroyer while chasing a Philippine vessel.We dig into the strategic geography that makes the Philippines irreplaceable to America's Indo-Pacific strategy; the largest Balikatan exercise in history; the expansion of EDCA sites; the new $2.5 billion Philippine Enhanced Resilience Act; the new Luzon Economic Corridor (with Japan); the U.S.-Philippines 123 civil nuclear agreement; and the 19% Trump tariff Carlson openly wishes had been much lower. She offers a candid read on China's Ambassador Huang Xilian's successor, Jing Quan, the limits of the ASEAN Code of Conduct, and what actually deters Beijing's gray-zone aggression in the South China Sea.If you follow U.S.-China competition, the U.S.-Philippines alliance, ASEAN, Philippine politics, the Marcos administration, Indo-Pacific strategy, the South China Sea, or U.S. foreign policy under the second Trump administration, this is essential listening from someone who lived it up close.
Mary Kay Cabot joins to break down the Browns' offseason philosophy, making clear the organization is going all-in on winning now — not tanking for 2027 — with Myles Garrett staying put and the QB job going to whoever gives them the best shot. She also throws cold water on the endless quarterback debate, noting that nobody outside the building truly knows what's happening in those meeting rooms. The segment closes on a lighter note with Charles Barkley's postgame commentary on Max Strus's looks sparking a spirited debate that Mary Kay happily weighed in on.

This week on Unveiling the Beast, I sat down with Sue Willoughby, host of Midlife Strategies for Badass Women, and this conversation felt like sitting around a fire with someone who has truly lived. We talked about curiosity as a life-changing superpower, following the weird breadcrumbs that keep calling to you, and why so many women hit midlife and suddenly realize they have no idea who they are outside of the roles they've been performing. Sue shares how growing up with an alcoholic parent shaped her relationship with discomfort, how horses became both a refuge and a mirror throughout her life, and how equine-assisted coaching helps people uncover the hidden patterns, boundary issues, and emotional truths they've been carrying for years. We also dive into identity, reinvention, messy middle seasons, intuition, and why the answers we're searching for are often already inside us waiting to be uncovered. Honestly, this episode felt less like an interview and more like a giant permission slip to stop abandoning yourself and start getting curious about your own life again.As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.Bio: Sue Willoughby is a truth-teller, boundary-breaker, and certified Equus Coach® who helps women over 40 stop playing small and start living like they mean it. With horses as her co-facilitators, she cuts through the noise to help clients reconnect with their power, ditch burnout, and trust their damn instincts.Raised tough, lived wild, and rebuilt from the ground up, Sue brings real talk, deep heart, and a no-fluff approach to personal transformation. Based outside Seattle with her horse Moose and two mini Dachshunds, she's here to help you stop surviving and start showing up for your life.Music by Prymary: Sean Entrikin (my hot husband) on guitar, Chris Quirarte on drums, Smiley Sean on keyboards, Rob Young on bass, and Jaxon Duane on vocals.Want to be a guest on the show?

As detailed in Selling Opportunity: The Story of Mary Kay (Penguin, 2026) by Mary Lisa Gavenas, as the only woman in Forbes' Greatest Business Stories of All Time and the first woman to chair a company on the New York Stock Exchange, Mary Kay Ash has a life story that reads like a Barbara Taylor Bradford novel. Growing up in Depression-era Texas, Mary Kathlyn Wagner is a dutiful daughter and diligent student with ambition aplenty and no place to use it. Married at sixteen, she is a grandmother at thirty-four. When she is not cooking or cleaning or taking care of the kids, she peddles cleaning products to other housewives. The work has no salary and no security but she sticks with it, sure that direct selling will make her dreams come true. In 1963, after she has been divorced three times and widowed twice, she sets up her own company, selling second chance and self-invention for the price of a skin care showcase. Soon millions know her as the little lady in the big wig who gives away pink Cadillacs. From its unpromising start in a 500-square-foot Dallas storefront, Mary Kay Inc. grows into a global phenomenon with 3.5 million reps in over 35 countries. She becomes the most famous saleswoman in the world. Maybe the most famous ever. Based on fifteen years of research, Selling Opportunity gives us a page-turning rags-to-riches story set against the background of direct selling in all its overstated, over-the-top glory. Here, for the first time, is the definitive history of a peculiarly American industry and a mid-century mindset that ennobled extreme self-reliance, sticking to your guns, and blind faith in the American dream. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

They discuss the potential quarterback competition between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders, evaluate roster needs and coaching changes heading into the NFL Draft, and Mary Kay breaks down the conversations she had with Todd Monken and Jimmy Haslam during media availabilities.
Mark Cuban has had a change of heart, but not about the sale of the Dallas Mavericks franchise itself. Instead, in the latest episode of Intersections, Cuban said, “I don't regret selling. I regret who I sold to. I made a lot of mistakes in the process, and I'll leave it at that.” In other news, cosmetics giant Mary Kay is looking to sell its more than 500,000-square-foot campus in Addison; Texas lawmakers plan to study the possibility of annexing a chunk of its western neighbor. Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows this month directed a state legislative committee to explore the legal and economic implications of adding one or more New Mexico counties; and Democratic state Sen.

Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe are wrapping up their week at the NFL Combine, but first it's a Friday edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast. Today it's all about the quarterback and wide receiver prospects. The main discussion centers on Alabama QB Ty Simpson. Mary Kay shares her positive first impressions and details his interesting connection to Browns head coach Todd Monken through his father. The crew debates how far Simpson would have to fall for the Browns to draft him and if he's a realistic option to challenge Shedeur Sanders. They also explore the "damaged goods" nature of this QB class, looking at potential value picks on Day 2 or 3 like Garrett Nussmeier and Medina native Drew Allar, both of whom have shown flashes of high-end talent. The conversation then shifts to the deep wide receiver class. Ashley details her interview with Jordyn Tyson, the brother of Cavs player Jaylon Tyson, and his potential as a precise route runner. Finally, they debate the Browns' biggest draft needs, weighing the value of taking a premium receiver like Carnell Tate at pick No. 6 versus addressing the offensive line.

Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe are are still at the NFL Combine, but first they take a pod to reset some of what they've heard the first three days on the Orange and Brown Talk podcast. The Browns quarterback room is the main topic of conversation. With Andrew Berry and Todd Monken heaping praise on both Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson, is a training camp battle inevitable? Or could the front office have another move up its sleeve? They discuss if the public comments are genuine or a smokescreen for a bigger move, like a trade for former first-round pick Anthony Richardson. They debate whether adding another QB would muddy the waters or if it's the type of move to expect from Berry. Then, the conversation shifts to the defense and a key upcoming free agent: linebacker Devin Bush. After a career-revitalizing season, is bringing Bush back the team's No. 1 priority? Mary Kay explains why he's so important to the defense, his journey back from a torn ACL and what his next contract could look like. The group analyzes how his performance has been a huge win for the front office and why continuity on defense is crucial heading into next season.
