What if your energy, clarity, cravings, creativity, libido, communication style, and even your relationship patterns weren't random? What if they were cyclical… predictable… intelligent? In this episode, I'm diving deep into the four phases of the menstrual cycle — not just from a hormonal perspective, but from a nervous system, performance, and leadership lens. Because when you understand your cycle, you stop fighting yourself.

Sign up for The Retreats: https://www.thechallengeretreat.com/retreats/p/the-challenge-retreat-season-3-april-29th-may-4th-5wwz5 IN THIS PODCAST WE TALK ABOUT: • The **Menstrual Phase** — your inner winter. Why rest is productive. Why reflection here saves you months of burnout. • The **Follicular Phase** — your inner spring. Brain clarity, idea generation, magnetic curiosity. • The **Ovulatory Phase** — your inner summer. Communication power, radiance, collaboration, visibility. • The **Luteal Phase** — your inner fall. Discernment, editing, boundary-setting, and truth telling. When you track your cycle, you start recognizing patterns instead of judging them. And that awareness alone is medicine. **This episode is sponsored by Maui Nui Venison.** If you've followed me for any amount of time, you know I care deeply about protein quality — not just for muscle, but for hormones, blood sugar stability, neurotransmitters, and cycle regulation. Maui Nui Venison sources wild-harvested, 100% grass-fed axis deer from Maui in a way that supports ecological balance and land regeneration. It's one of the most nutrient-dense red meats available — incredibly high in protein, iron, B12, and bioavailable minerals — and naturally lean. If you're working on cycle health, stable energy, or reducing PMS symptoms, adequate protein is non-negotiable. You can support your body and support regenerative land stewardship at the same time.

The athlete who wants to train smarter. The partner who wants clearer communication. And the human who is ready to understand that her rhythm is not a weakness — it's a design. Track it. Respect it. Use it. Your cycle is not random. It's a blueprint.

It was one of the worst disasters in modern U.S. history… and then it just disappeared from the headlines.I'm talking about Maui — Lahaina. A hundred and two lives lost. More than 2,200 structures destroyed. And damage estimates in the billions... forever changing that island. And now we're two and a half years later — and this is the question we're asking today:What the hell happened to Maui? Why is rebuilding still moving like it's stuck in wet cement? Was land seized in a massive and grab? Were directed energy weapons used to dispace thousands of people. Was weather manipulated in order to create a perfect storm? Why does it feel like the people who lost everything are being pushed out permanently

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 they discovered about your mind was never meant to reach you — until now.   In 1983, the CIA commissioned a classified report on a technique for expanding consciousness beyond the physical body. For 20 years, it was stamped SECRET. What they discovered about your mind was never meant to reach you — until now.   This isn't ancient wisdom or spiritual theory. This is documented, government-funded research conducted at Stanford Research Institute — one of the most prestigious scientific institutions in America. The findings were so significant that the program ran for over two decades with classified funding. Then, in 2003, the document was quietly declassified. The mainstream media never covered it. Academia pretended it didn't exist. It's been buried in plain sight.   In this episode, I reveal:   The Cold War origins of government consciousness research   What Project Stargate and the Gateway Process actually discovered   Why the findings were classified — and what they prove about your mind   The exact 6-step protocol that military intelligence personnel were trained in   A full guided activation using the declassified technique   The document states that consciousness can be trained to "escape the restrictions of time and space." A US Army Lieutenant Colonel wrote this in an official report to the CIA. And they classified it.   Now it's yours.   This technique has been used by thousands since declassification. The results are documented. The protocol is specific. And by the end of this video, you'll have experienced it directly.

Are you about to overspend on Maui activities that aren't worth it while missing the island's most incredible free experiences?

Fraudology is presented by Sardine. Request a 1:1 product demo at sardine.ai In this solo "vacation" episode, Karisse Hendrick checks in from the island of Maui to catch up on the latest in the fraud world before the chaos of conference season begins. First, Karisse explores a hilarious yet alarming trend in artificial intelligence: AI Hallucinations. Reading from a recent article by Frank McKenna, she highlights how Google's AI summary tool is confidently inventing absurd fraud schemes—from the "Donkey Scam" involving miniature donkey rescues to the bizarre "Clown Smile Scam" in the dentistry industry. While the examples are funny, Karisse discusses the serious integrity risks that arise when AI refuses to say "I don't know" and instead presents fiction as fact to analysts, journalists, and students. Later in the episode, Karisse dives into a deeper, more personal topic: The difference between a Fraud Professional and a Fraud Fighter. She shares "core memory" stories—including taking a fraud emergency call from the middle of a family corn maze—to illustrate the relentless drive and "addiction to the hunt" that defines a true fraud fighter. In this episode, we discuss:The AI Information Gap: Why Google's AI summaries are creating "fake" fraud types like hot dog fraud and snowman schemes. Content Integrity: Karisse's concerns about AI models using creator content without proper citation or compensation. The Fraud Fighter Identity: How to recognize if you have fraud prevention in your DNA and why it matters when building a team. Upcoming Events: Details on the Merchant Advisory Group, the Merchant Risk Council (MRC) in Vegas, and the first annual Merchant Fraud Alliance Conference in Chicago this October. Fraudology is hosted by Karisse Hendrick, a fraud fighter with decades of experience advising hundreds of the biggest ecommerce companies in the world on fraud, chargebacks, and other forms of abuse impacting a company's bottom line.

The federal government is encouraging tribes to partner with data centers. That could mean leasing land or, as the Mountain West News Bureau's Hanna Merzbach reports, selling power. At a U.S. Department of Energy webinar, Ken Ahmann with Colusa Indian Energy said that is where the big bucks come in. “ Potentially billions of dollars into the coffers of tribes.” His company provides energy infrastructure to data centers on tribal land. He says these partnerships can be good for tribes that have land and resources to power big projects like the Osage Nation in Oklahoma. Paul Bemore is the chair of the tribe's utility board. “Tribes that are casino-dependent really need to look at other ways to build their economies, and I think data centers is one of those opportunities.” Though Bemore says people may be wary about how this will impact the environment. Other tribes have expressed concerns about data centers draining precious water supplies. (Courtesy Disney) Disney's animated film “Moana 2” has been translated into Hawaiian just like the first movie. Hawai‘i Public Radio's Cassie Ordonio reports. Most Disney productions are dubbed in more than 40 languages after appearing in English. The Moana series is one of them. The sequel made history with a global debut on Disney plus this month – marking the beginning of Mahina ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, or Hawaiian Language Month. Lāiana Kanoa-Wong is a member of the “Moana 2” Oceanic Cultural Trust. “Things that you could find on the media or in shows, we didn’t have it. We were watching every cartoon you could imagine at the time. We were watching all of these things, but nothing ever looked and sounded like us. And so being able to be a part of this project was a huge honor and privilege.” Kanoa-Wong was honored to be a part of the project and to see the characters brought to life in ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi. “It was important to make sure that the maoli Hawai‘i was still strong, like the essence and what we’re trying to say was so strong, even if sometimes it didn’t match perfectly with the lip flap, we forgave ourselves sometimes, if it conveyed the meaning and it was helpful for that purpose, or we would sometimes like we would have written it out, and we’re like, Oh, we got to add a few more things why don’t we add this word or these sounds that can also deepen the meaning, but from a Hawaiian worldview.” “Moana 2” tells the story of the Polynesian princess receiving a call from her wayfinding ancestors. She embarks on a dangerous journey across the ocean, reunites with Maui, and recruits other characters from her home in Motunui to join her. The Hawaiian language version of the film is produced by an all-local cast, including the original Moana voice actress Auli‘i Cravalho. The character Loto is voiced by Native Hawaiian actress Pualalea Panaewa. “For me, it was a very special opportunity to be able to voice a character in such a beloved Disney film series. Moana is huge. Not just amongst our people too. Not just amongst Hawaiians or Polynesians or Oceania like in the world.” Jim Gray, former Principal Chief of the Osage Nation, is being remembered for his leadership and advocacy for Indian Country. He passed away last week at age 64. Chairperson Ben Barnes of the United Indian Nations of Oklahoma says Gray's achievements for his tribe and Indian Country have left a profound impact, including modernizing the Osage Nation's government by ratifying its first constitution, and securing equal voting rights for every Osage member. The National Congress of American Indians President Mark Macarro says Gray devoted his life to strengthening the Osage Nation and advancing tribal sovereignty.
