Podcasts about massage therapists

I see Massage Therapists on social media sharing and talking about how their practice is fully booked, and they aren't taking on any new clients, which I know came from years of hard work and dedication, but what if getting to the point of a closed practice is one of the most selfish things you can do as a provider?I share my perspectives on all of that in this episode!--------We just launched our new, free soft tissue injury evaluation and treatment training, The Peak Injury Treatment Method.It is the first step in learning how to cut your treatment times in half and easily double your income so you can avoid burnout and help more people get out of pain!If you want to download the training for free, with no strings attached, just click the link below ⬇️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click Here To Download Free Training⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Please consider joining our 'Soft Tissue Treatment Revolution' community on Facebook, where it's much easier to engage as a group.

Ever hired someone who looked perfect on paper… only to realize a few weeks later they were the wrong fit? The truth is, most bad hires aren't caused by hiring the wrong person; they happen because there's no hiring process behind the decision. In this episode, I break down the three hiring mistakes that quietly cost wellness business owners time, money, energy, and team culture. You'll learn how to spot red flags before they become problems, avoid making decisions from a place of desperation, and create a simple hiring framework that helps you find therapists who align with your business, not just candidates with the best resume.   We'll get into: The three hiring mistakes that lead to costly team problems Why hiring based on "good vibes" isn't enough How to evaluate hard skills, soft skills, and culture fit The interview questions that reveal what resumes can't Why coachability often matters more than experience How to trust your instincts without relying on them alone If you're growing your team or thinking about making your next hire, this episode could save you from an expensive mistake.   ---   *Brought to you by GlossGenius.*   Are you dealing with gaps in your schedule? Clients who don't rebook? Low profits and high payment processing fees?

David is a Massage Therapist in Toronto, Ontario and he is about to embark on the wonderful world of entrepreneurship after 8 years working in a clinic as a busy therapist. We discussed why he would want to make such a leap considering he likes where he works and has a busy practice, what his support system had to say about this new venture, what lessons he will take with him to his new brick and mortar, and the breakdown of actual figures that he encountered during the process of creating his dream clinic. His new clinic, Muscle Madness is set to open this summer!2rmtsandamic.com

After years of misdiagnoses, medication sensitivities, injuries, and setbacks, a massage therapist is diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), a condition that causes non-typical seizures and intermittent paralysis-like weakness. Despite being unable to work, she continues advocating for the FND community and wants to help educate massage therapists about the benefits of safe, informed touch for people living with the condition. In this episode of IHACW. . ., Ruth explores Sarah's journey, the realities of FND, and the role massage therapy may play in supporting those navigating complex neurological challenges.  Resources: Functional Neurologic Disorder | National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (no date a).

This episode is honestly one I should have recorded a long time ago.Today, I'm sharing the real reason I started this podcastBecause I noticed something…

Ten Thousand Waves, the well-known Santa Fe spa that has surfaced in newly released Epstein-related documents, has denied allegations that it knowingly supplied massage therapists or referrals to Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch. The controversy stems from FBI interview summaries and testimony connected to New Mexico's expanding investigation into Epstein's activities at the ranch, where former ranch manager Brice Gordon reportedly told investigators that many of the massage therapists used at the property were hired locally through Ten Thousand Waves or by referral. The allegations have drawn fresh attention because multiple women have accused Epstein of using “massages” as a cover for sexual abuse and trafficking operations carried out across his various properties. The spa, however, pushed back firmly against the claims, stating it neither provided nor referred masseuses to Zorro Ranch and denying any involvement in Epstein's activities.The denials come as scrutiny surrounding Epstein's operations in New Mexico continues to intensify, especially amid criticism that Zorro Ranch was never thoroughly searched or investigated during the height of the federal probes into Epstein. Former massage therapist Rachel Benavidez previously alleged in the documentary Surviving Jeffrey Epstein that she was sexually abused after being hired to work at the ranch, further fueling questions about how Epstein sourced workers and who may have crossed paths with his operation over the years. Critics argue that the emergence of local businesses and institutions in the newly released files underscores how deeply embedded Epstein allegedly became within elite and everyday circles in New Mexico. Still, Ten Thousand Waves maintains there was no institutional relationship with Epstein's ranch and rejects accusations that it knowingly facilitated or connected massage therapists to his operation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ten Thousand Waves spa in Santa Fe denies Jeffrey Epstein massage allegations

In this episode, I answer a question from a Massage Therapist in Missouri who wants to switch over to a shorter treatment session that focuses on helping chronic pain, but is having trouble getting their current clients to be open to a shorter treatment time.The question was…“I have been watching your content for a few years, and it makes perfect sense to me that doing a shorter treatment time is more effective for those in chronic pain, and I am all in on working to shorten my session times in my clinic.The problem I am running into is that a majority of my current clients have been doing longer 90-minute sessions, and when I brought up the idea of a shorter session, they didn't like that one bit and had no desire to change.I know the shorter treatments are the best way to get results for chronic pain sufferers, but how do I help to convince my current clients that I can get better results in less time?”--------We just launched our new, free soft tissue injury evaluation and treatment training, The Peak Injury Treatment Method.It is the first step in learning how to cut your treatment times in half and easily double your income so you can avoid burnout and help more people get out of pain!If you want to download the training for free, with no strings attached, just click the link below ⬇️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click Here To Download Free Training⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Please consider joining our 'Soft Tissue Treatment Revolution' community on Facebook, where it's much easier to engage as a group.

This episode is one of those conversations that expands what you think is possible in your career.Today I'm joined by Victoria Munro, RMT + IBCLC, who has built a unique practice working with prenatal, postpartum, and infant care blending massage therapy with lactation support.We talk about:Why massage therapists should be part of the breastfeeding conversationThe concept of the postpartum dyad (mom + baby as one unit)How infant oral function impacts feeding, tension, and long-term healthWhy treating babies can actually make you a better therapist for adultsThe truth about prenatal massage (and why we've been overcomplicating it)How niching down can give you more freedom, flexibility, and fulfillmentThis episode is a reminder that your scope is bigger than you think… and your career can evolve in ways you probably haven't considered yet.

What makes a massage truly somatic? It's not about deeper pressure or fancier techniques. It's about presence, awareness, and recognizing that the only person who can relax a muscle is the person who owns it. Aimee welcomes Dr. Gabriel Posner, a Hanna Somatic Educator, researcher, and author of Somatic Techniques for Massage Therapists, to explore how bodyworkers can shift from a biomedical "working on a body" approach to a somatic "engaging with a soma" approach.Whether you give bodywork or receive it, this conversation will change how you think about touch.  Dr. Gabriel takes us through:Why massage therapist don't necessarily relax someone else's muscles.How bringing awareness to a tight spot can soften it without forceful pressure.Why most musculoskeletal pain comes from perfectly functioning physiology.The difference between the biomedical (third-person) and somatic (first-person) perspectives.Why practitioners must heal themselves to be effective guides for others.And so much more!Guest Bio:Gabriel is the current president of the Association for Hanna Somatic Education's board of directors and is funded by the Association to develop research on the field. In addition, Gabriel trains clinical practitioners and movement teachers with Martha Peterson and Essential Somatics. He also operates a private practice in Denver, Colorado, offering hands-on clinical somatic sessions, group classes, and trainings for both somatic practitioners and massage therapists. His first book, Somatic Techniques for Massage Therapists was released by Handspring Publishing earlier this year. Gabriel loves guiding people through somatic healing transformations and sharing this work with other wellness practitioners.Connect with Gabriel:Website: ⁠www.elevatedsomatics.com⁠Tik Tok: Soma_to_soma Check out his weekly online class ⁠https://elevatedsomatics.as.me/schedule/0accd757/appointment/28992385/calendar/6330784⁠and visit ⁠www.Essentialsomatics.com⁠ for info about training. His book's discussion guide: Somatic techniques for massage therapists Connect with Aimee:Instagram: @aimeetakaya Facebook: Aimee Takaya Learn more about Aimee Takaya, Hanna Somatic Education, and The Radiance Program at⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠www.freeyoursoma.com⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠

Today's episode, we break down the exact step-by-step plan on how to exploit your fellow massage therapist and get rich in the process.   Not really, BUT….this is an all too common issue we see inside the industry.   The exploitative model isn't an accident. It's been repeated so often that most therapists think it's just what happens when you grow. Low pay. Back-to-back clients. No breaks. No future. Replace them when they burn out. Repeat.   But that fear of becoming *that* owner is keeping you small.   In this episode we're breaking down exactly what not to do the steps that built the franchise model and got copied by independent owners who never questioned why. Then we're looking at what actually works: how to build an ethical, sustainable business that's good for you, your team, your clients, and your wallet.   Because there is a different way. And you don't have to choose between growing and staying the person you already are.   ---   *Brought to you by GlossGenius.*   Are you dealing with gaps in your schedule? Clients who don't rebook? Low profits and high payment processing fees?

In this episode, I answer a question from a massage therapist in Pennsylvania about why I never take on a client in acute pain who is trying to find relief as soon as possible.The question came from a Massage Therapist named Charles from Pennsylvania, who is in year 10 in practice, where he focuses on injury and pain treatments.The question was…“ I have a pretty steady and busy practice, and most of my new clientele comes from referrals from other clients. I do love helping people who are in pain. One area I struggle with is trying so hard to accommodate someone who is in acute pain and wants to get in as soon as possible, and is also a referral from an existing client.I have found that even when I bend over backwards to add them onto an already full schedule, when I explain to them that they need to do more follow-up work, they just tell me they will call me back when it gets bad again.I am glad I can help them, but my goal is to support them long-term rather than just responding when things get really bad and assuming I can get them in right away.I saw a video where you said you never treat a client who hasn't been in pain for at least 6 months. How do you say no to people who just started having pain without upsetting them?”--------We just launched our new, free soft tissue injury evaluation and treatment training, The Peak Injury Treatment Method.It is the first step in learning how to cut your treatment times in half and easily double your income so you can avoid burnout and help more people get out of pain!If you want to download the training for free, with no strings attached, just click the link below ⬇️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click Here To Download Free Training⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Please consider joining our 'Soft Tissue Treatment Revolution' community on Facebook, where it's much easier to engage as a group.

In this episode, I answer a question from a massage therapist from Washington who is struggling with trying to stop treating a client in their practice that never listens to advice on how to get better and blames them for still being in pain.A question came from a Massage Therapist in Washington who has been in practice since 2018 and specializes in working with clients who are injured and in pain.The question was:“ I have been working with a client for the past 6 months who has some significant neck and shoulder pain. They also work out 6 days a week, doing some pretty intense CrossFit-style workouts, and, when we first started treatment, they told me that being fit and working out is the most important part of their lives. Every time we seem to make some progress, they decide to push themselves and undo all the work we did with some crazy workout. When I try to tell them they should cut back on the workouts to let it heal, they just tell me that it isn't possible. Even worse, when they do get a flare-up, they blame it on the treatment I did and say I must have been too aggressive with it, because the workouts are not a problem.I dread seeing this person on my schedule, and they've become such a pain that I want to be done with them. The problem is they come from a local gym where I get a good amount of my clients from, and I am worried that if I fire them from the practice, they will talk badly about me to my other clients.How do I get rid of this person, while still seeming like I'm not being the bad guy here?”--------We just launched our new, free soft tissue injury evaluation and treatment training, The Peak Injury Treatment Method.It is the first step in learning how to cut your treatment times in half and easily double your income so you can avoid burnout and help more people get out of pain!If you want to download the training for free, with no strings attached, just click the link below ⬇️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click Here To Download Free Training⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Please consider joining our 'Soft Tissue Treatment Revolution' community on Facebook, where it's much easier to engage as a group.

A client asks for a specific technique on their face. They have a bad reaction. Then they say they didn't want work in that area anyway, and by the way, they had a skull fracture four years ago. Now they're leaving because they feel a migraine coming on. The therapist is left wondering what just happened. In this episode of I Have a Client Who . . ., Ruth unpacks this interaction, what may have been going on for the client and their bones, and takes a closer look at where things started to break down.

Let's talk about money.Because the truth is- most of us were never taught how to manage the income we earn in this career. That's where the stress around taxes, time off, and long-term planning starts to creep in.In this solo episode, I am sharing the three money habits that completely changed my relationship with finances — and helped me move from stress and uncertainty to feeling more in control, confident, and supported in my massage career.These aren't complicated systems. They're simple, repeatable habits that allow your massage career to actually support your life — not just take from it.If you've ever felt behind during tax season, hesitant to take time off, or unsure about your future… this episode is for you.*Thanks for the update - Osteopaths charge HST*

Katie hopes to teach more therapists this essential skill. You can check her out on instagram or her website https://www.stillpointmassageandbodywork.com/2rmtsandamic.com

Opening a clinic takes courage. It also takes patience, vision, and a willingness to move forward even when the path isn't perfectly clear.In this episode of The Radical Massage Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Nancy Kahl, RMT, owner of Align Massage Therapy Kanata, to talk about what it really looks like to step into clinic ownership.Nancy's path to this chapter was anything but linear. After graduating as a massage therapist in 2002, she stepped away from the profession and spent eight years working in mental health and recreational therapy, supporting individuals living with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders, anxiety, and depression.Eventually, she returned to massage therapy with a deeper understanding of the nervous system, emotional labour, and the realities of caring professions.Six months into opening her clinic, Nancy shares what she has learned about leadership, building a supportive workplace, navigating uncertainty, and creating a practice that feels meaningful for both clients and practitioners.We also talk about something that many therapists experience but rarely name clearly: the mental load of practice and how it differs from physical fatigue.This episode is an honest conversation about growth, resilience, and building something steady over time.If you've ever thought about opening a clinic, returning to massage after time away, or designing a career that supports your life outside the treatment room, this episode will resonate deeply.

Monique Giannelloni said her interaction with Prince Andrew was the direct result of Ghislaine Maxwell deliberately setting the stage and controlling the circumstances. She explained that Maxwell framed the meeting as something special and prestigious, telling her she would be introduced to someone “famous,” language that softened what was actually a deeply imbalanced situation. When that person turned out to be Prince Andrew, the power disparity became immediately clear. Giannelloni described being young, inexperienced, and placed into a private setting with a member of the British royal family without meaningful context or informed consent. She emphasized that this was not a social encounter or an organic meeting, but a carefully orchestrated introduction where expectations were already implied. The way Andrew was presented to her carried an unspoken assumption of compliance rooted in his status.Giannelloni made clear that Prince Andrew did not appear confused, hesitant, or unaware of the dynamic at play. In her account, he carried himself with entitlement, fully comfortable in a situation arranged for his benefit. She described feeling pressure rather than choice, with Maxwell acting as the facilitator who normalized the encounter and removed her ability to freely decline. Giannelloni's statements undercut later narratives portraying Andrew as an incidental figure or a man caught in misunderstanding. Instead, her account places him squarely within Epstein and Maxwell's system of access, where young women were delivered to powerful men under the guise of privilege and opportunity. What she described was not awkward coincidence but calculated proximity, engineered to serve status and silence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

A school administrator and massage therapist wants guidance on how to respond to a student who is reluctant to work with clinic clients who report a history of herpes. Is this a significant risk for massage therapists? The reality is that anyone with a history of herpes simplex can shed the virus intermittently, even without visible symptoms. However, the risk to massage therapists who follow proper hygiene and self-care protocols is extremely low. In that sense, herpes falls into the same category as other infections that may be transmitted through direct contact but are effectively managed with consistent hygienic practices. The key issue is not the client's infection status; it is the therapist's adherence to appropriate hygiene protocols. Resources: Ang, J.Y. et al.

If you're a licensed health professional in British Columbia, this episode breaks down why the upcoming shift from the Health Professions Act to the Health Professions and Occupations Act (HPOA) could significantly impact how you practice, what you can say, and even whether you can keep your license. Kendra walks through the key provisions raising concern for practitioners, including government-appointed regulatory boards, expanded enforcement powers, and the potential consequences for non-compliance. Beyond explaining what's changing, this conversation explores the bigger question many practitioners are quietly asking: what happens when the rules of your profession change after you've already built your career around them? Kendra shares why more licensed professionals are exploring alternative practice models and what it can look like to build a business outside traditional regulatory structures. This episode is ultimately about awareness, choice, and professional autonomy. Whether you plan to stay within the regulated system or consider a different path, Kendra encourages practitioners to understand what's coming, think critically about their options, and make decisions that align with how they want to practice long-term.What We Cover in This EpisodeWhat the HPOA Actually Changes and Why Practitioners Are Paying Attention (00:50)The Real Risks to Your License, Income, and Professional Autonomy (05:05)Why More Practitioners Are Exploring Online Health Coaching Models (09:30)How to Transition Safely Without Burning Down Your Current Career (12:00)Why Waiting Could Cost You Options (Timing Matters More Than You Think) (15:30) Resources mentioned:Apply for HCA: https://go.kendraperry.net/apply-hca  Leave the podcast a 5-star review: https://ratethispodcast.com/wealthyWATCH ON YOUTUBE

Sponsored by EasyDNS https://easydns.com/NotOnRecord Two unusually messy files collide in one episode: a chiropractor accused during a routine treatment of an allegation so strange it practically dares common sense to enter the room, and a long-married couple whose financial dispute spirals into criminal charges and a three-day trial. The hosts walk through how these cases actually get resolved in the real world, why credibility isn't just what's said but how it's said, and how the “paper trail” (texts, timing, behaviour, and courtroom discipline) can decide everything. Along the way: Crown pretrials, judicial pretrials, peace bonds, the professional fallout of being charged, and why sometimes the most powerful defence is simply letting the story collapse under its own weight.

Monique Giannelloni said her interaction with Prince Andrew was the direct result of Ghislaine Maxwell deliberately setting the stage and controlling the circumstances. She explained that Maxwell framed the meeting as something special and prestigious, telling her she would be introduced to someone “famous,” language that softened what was actually a deeply imbalanced situation. When that person turned out to be Prince Andrew, the power disparity became immediately clear. Giannelloni described being young, inexperienced, and placed into a private setting with a member of the British royal family without meaningful context or informed consent. She emphasized that this was not a social encounter or an organic meeting, but a carefully orchestrated introduction where expectations were already implied. The way Andrew was presented to her carried an unspoken assumption of compliance rooted in his status.Giannelloni made clear that Prince Andrew did not appear confused, hesitant, or unaware of the dynamic at play. In her account, he carried himself with entitlement, fully comfortable in a situation arranged for his benefit. She described feeling pressure rather than choice, with Maxwell acting as the facilitator who normalized the encounter and removed her ability to freely decline. Giannelloni's statements undercut later narratives portraying Andrew as an incidental figure or a man caught in misunderstanding. Instead, her account places him squarely within Epstein and Maxwell's system of access, where young women were delivered to powerful men under the guise of privilege and opportunity. What she described was not awkward coincidence but calculated proximity, engineered to serve status and silence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

I sat down with two highly experienced breathwork facilitators, Emily Ray Henderson and Simona Dvorackova, to explore what breathwork actually does beneath the hype. We talk about why breath has become so central right now, from nervous system regulation and everyday stress, through to trauma release and altered states of consciousness. We explore how breathwork helps complete unfinished stress responses, why the body holds tension and memory, and how conscious connected breathing can release things without needing to analyse or relive the past. We also get into safety, facilitation quality, and why trust and experience matter so much in deep work. Along the way, we touch on science, spirituality, non dual experiences, modern wellness culture, and where breathwork might be heading next. From simple tools anyone can use, to profound immersive experiences, this is a grounded look at breath as a foundation for healing, presence, and human maturity.

Alright my friends—this one's a little different. For Episode 452 of The IMPACT Show, I flip the microphone and let my good friend, business partner and brother in arms, Travis Barnes, take over as host of the podcast. If you don't know Travis, he's the co-founder of IMPACT-X Performance, a fellow Fit-Pro, author, speaker, husband, father, and someone who has been through the fire and has come out even stronger. He's also a man of faith, incredible perseverance, and someone I truly respect. In this week's episode, Travis interviews me on all the BIG NEWS, with the recent announcement of IXP—San Diego. We talk everything from faith, fear, vision, purpose, and what it's like to be building something brand new again with IMPACT-X Performance San Diego. We go deep on what it means to trust God in the uncertainty, why there's beauty in being scared, and how every chapter of growth requires us to let go, step up, and lead with heart. Here's some of what we dive into: The backstory behind IMPACT-X San Diego—what it really is, who it's for, and why it's more than just another gym. The difference between Fitness Quest 10 and this next chapter—and how experience, faith, and team play a huge role. The beauty in the grind and why being scared is often a sign you're exactly where you're supposed to be. What it means to build from a place of abundance, not fear. How faith, recovery, and personal growth are woven into the DNA of Impact X. A heartfelt tribute to my partner Jeff Bristol and my entire team who's supporting me unequivocally. Reflections from my 2001 self (25-years ago) to my 75-year-old future self—and the lessons learned in between. The power of gratitude, faith, and family, and how Melanie's support has been the foundation through every chapter. My friends, ask yourself this week: "Would my younger self say 'thank you' to the person you are today?" If not, what do you need to change—today—to make thatanswer a "yes"? And while you're at it, reach out to someone who's impacted your life. Shoot them a message. Say thank you. Speak life into them. This episode is near and dear to my heart. It's raw. It's real. It's about faith over fear, purpose over comfort, and trusting the process even when you can't see the finish line. I hope it inspires you to chase your calling with courage, gratitude, and a deep trust that there's beauty in every step—even the scary ones. With that being said, BUCKLE-UP. IMPACT-X Performance (San Diego) is about 90-days away and I haven't felt this level of excitement in a long, long time. Finally, if this episode moved you in any way— please "like" it, share it with someone who needs a little faith and fire today, and tag us on Instagram (including my new IG page) so we can connect and keep the conversation going: IG: @ToddDurkin @ImpactXSanDiego @ImpactXPerformance @TravisBarnes333 IMPACT-X Performance UPDATES: JOB OPENINGS: We have several Job opportunities coming up at IMPACT-X Performance (San Diego) for those who may be interested: 1.
