As MS Awareness Month continues, Selma Blair's story underscores the resilience it takes to keep moving forward while living with multiple sclerosis. Blair, the actress known for Cruel Intentions, Legally Blonde and the Hellboy films, has become a leading voice in the MS community since publicly sharing her diagnosis in 2018. In this conversation from October 2025, Blair joins Hoda to discuss her lifelong health struggles, her relationship with her late mother, and the support she has found in her community, including from fellow stars Christina Applegate and Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who are navigating their own MS journeys.

No one understands what it takes to navigate life and career transitions better than NFL veteran, sports broadcast host, and content creator Isaac Rochell. He joins Vic to get real about navigating life after football, redefining who you are beyond your job, and confronting the food and body image struggles men rarely talk about. The former Notre Dame standout opens up about life in the league, from tough coaching dynamics and the constant fear of getting cut to walking away from the NFL and building a new career in media. Vic and Isaac also dive into supporting a wildly successful partner (and being proudly known as “Mr. Kuch”), becoming a girl dad of two, and the GLP-1 conversation entering sports culture. Tune in for a grounded, transparent conversation about athlete identity, career reinvention, and healing your relationship with food.Connect with Isaac on Instagram: @isaacrochell and TikTok: @isaacrochellRelated episodes:Allison Kuch: Life as a Creator & NFL WifeBody Image Q&A with Vic!!

What does it look like to bet on yourself, embrace reinvention, and build a YouTube channel that reaches millions?Michelle Khare is the creator and host of Challenge Accepted, the award-winning YouTube series where sherains with elite performers, athletes, and professionals to take on some of the world's toughest stunts and professions. But this conversation goes far beyond spectacle. It's about the psychology underneath the performance: how Michelle prepares for high-pressure environments, how she thinks about failure, and how she's built a serious creative business without losing the joy at the center of it. In this conversation, Michelle shares how her path began at the intersection of two demanding worlds: working as a video producer by day while competing as a professional cyclist at night. Out of that tension, she created something new — a format that blends physical challenge, storytelling, and deep iteration. She talks about the early trial-and-error phase of building her channel, the importance of owning her own IP, and why many creators don't realize they've already become entrepreneurs. Michelle also opens up about what it means to fail in public. She explains why growth often depends on being willing to look unpolished in front of other people, how she identifies her “strategic advantages” in unfamiliar environments, and why the low points — not just the polished outcomes — are what actually make a story worth telling. Along the way, she offers a compelling look at how she built a YouTube channel with over 5.4 million loyal subscribers. In this conversation, we explore:Why courage becomes more useful when it is systematizedHow Michelle built Challenge Accepted by blending athletics, storytelling, and businessWhy willingness to fail publicly can become a competitive advantageHow to identify your “strategic advantages” in unfamiliar environmentsWhy relationships, feedback, and team culture are essential to longevityHow to elevate the YouTube creator space into a respected part of the entertainment industryThis is a conversation about courage, yes, but also about design. How do you build a life where courage is not occasional, but trainable? How do you stay ambitious without burning out? And how you can keep evolving while staying grounded in the people and principles that matter most.__________________________________Links & ResourcesSubscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!

I would love to hear from you! Send me a one way text and share how Recover Your Soul is supporting you or what you would like to hear more about.I want to share something with you before you press play on this one.This is a replay from about three and a half years ago, an episode I recorded after a trip to Sayulita, Mexico, where my husband came clean that he had continued to 'dabble' with drinking, even after the profound changes we had both made in our lives with recovery. Going back to edit it brought all of it up again. The grief. The love. The complexity of it.Because here's the truth — Rich did stop drinking the way he had for most of his adult life, and that was real and significant. But over the years he has continued to dabble, and each time he eventually has come clean about it, it has hurt. And at the very same time, I can see that this is his journey to Recover Your Soul. Addiction is a beast that is not easy to tame, especially when someone hasn't fully admitted they are powerless over it.What this trip opened in me was a deeper clarity that working on myself is the only place I have any real power. Not because I don't care but because turning within and finding my own self-love, my own joy, my own healing is the deepest work there is. And it is not selfish. Not even a little bit.If you are loving someone in their addiction right now, this episode is for you. Together, we can do the work that will Recover Your Soul.Are you ready to Recover Your Soul?

Most women will research every stroller, bottle, and sleep schedule for their baby but spend almost no time thinking about how to support their own body during pregnancy.  In this episode, I'm sharing a “half baked” pregnancy update and pulling back the curtain on what I've actually been doing to support my body while growing this baby.  The reality is that most prenatal care is focused on monitoring the baby, not optimizing the mother's health. And while that makes sense medically, it also leaves a huge gap in how women care for themselves during one of the most physically demanding seasons of life.  Pregnancy is often treated like a time to pause your health goals, but I see it more like a sport that requires intentional preparation and support. In this episode, I walk through the team I've built around me including a functional practitioner, doula, midwife, pelvic floor physical therapist, chiropractor, and massage therapist and why I chose to outsource as many decisions as possible during this season.  I share what the first trimester actually looked like for me, from fatigue and nausea to the unexpected mental challenge of body image changes.  We also talk about the simple systems I'm using moving into the second and third trimesters, including strength training, daily movement, blood sugar stability, and pelvic floor work.  I explain how I'm thinking about nutrition not just for myself, but for my baby's long-term health and taste development. We'll also talk honestly about the physical discomforts of pregnancy and the moments that can make you question whether something is wrong. Finally, I share how researching birth options shifted my mindset from nervousness to genuine excitement, and why I ultimately decided on a home birth with a midwife and doula while still working with my OB for imaging.  If you're pregnant, planning to be, or just curious about a different approach to supporting your body through pregnancy, this episode offers a real, honest look behind the scenes.   Time Stamps:   (2:54) The Anatomy Scan (11:02) What I'm Doing/Will Do During Pregnancy (14:02) Midwife vs Traditional OBGYN Care (19:43) Letting Experts Help Me (28:24) Choosing A Home Birth --------------------- Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  --------------------- Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program --------------------- Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life! --------------------- Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share! --------------------- Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Time is supposed to heal everything. But for the millions of people navigating divorce after betrayal, that promise falls flat. They're functioning, managing the kids, showing up to work, doing all the things, and still carrying the weight of something that happened years, sometimes decades, ago. Fine, it turns out, is not the same as healed. In this powerful episode, Susan Guthrie welcomes back Dr. Debi Silber, founder of the Post Betrayal Transformation Institute and author of the new book Unstuck:The Practitioner's Guide to Moving Betrayal Clients from Survival to Transformation. Together, they unpack why so many people who have experienced betrayal, whether infidelity, financial deception, or the shattering of expectations that comes with divorce itself, get trapped in a cycle that looks like survival but feels like anything but living. Dr. Debi's research, drawn from over 100,000 people tested, reveals that healing from betrayal is not just possible. It is predictable. This conversation is for anyone who has ever asked, "Why am I still not over this?" Whether you are in the middle of a divorce, just discovering a betrayal, or years out and still feeling its grip, the lessons in this episode apply. It is also essential listening for the legal professionals, coaches, therapists, and mediators who want to understand what is truly going on beneath the surface. What You'll Learn Betrayal in divorce is not just about infidelity. It is a collapse of trust on every level How Post Betrayal Syndrome keeps people physically, mentally, and emotionally stuck long after the relationship has ended The five proven, predictable stages of betrayal recovery and why most people unknowingly park in Stage Three Why self-trust is the real wound of betrayal and how rebuilding it through boundaries, intuition, and small kept promises is where healing actually begins How the Window of Willingness reveals whether the person who betrayed you is genuinely doing the work, and what that means for your path forward Why transformation does not begin until Stage Four and how Dr. Debi's new book Unstuck gives practitioners a roadmap for guiding betrayal clients all the way through, not just to fine About the Guest  Dr. Debi Silber, Founder and CEO of The PBT (Post Betrayal Transformation) Institute and National Forgiveness Day, is an award-winning speaker and 2-time #1 International bestselling author. Her podcast, From Betrayal to Breakthrough, ranks in the top 1.5% globally.

In this second installment of the March basketball series, Molly takes the analogy one step further. Last week was about knowing your playbook — recognizing the patterns behind your drinking. This week is about knowing the scoreboard.Because it's not just about how many drinks you had.It's about what the game is costing you.Molly explores the difference between evaluating a single night of drinking and looking at your overall “season record.” One off night may not define you. But trends over time tell a deeper story. Are you moving toward more peace, more energy, and more self-trust? Or are you stuck in negotiation, anxiety, and subtle disappointment?The episode weaves together personal reflection and neuroscience, breaking down how alcohol impacts GABA, glutamate, cortisol, and dopamine. Molly explains the neurological rebound effect behind 3 a.m. wake-ups, how dopamine drives anticipation and craving, and why repeated drinking can increase baseline stress sensitivity over time.This episode isn't about shame or dramatic declarations. It's about clarity. And clarity gives you the power to adjust your strategy mid-season.In This EpisodeWhy the scoreboard matters more than effortThe difference between a single “game” and your season recordThe hidden costs of drinking beyond obvious consequencesHow alcohol increases GABA — and why that calm feeling doesn't lastThe glutamate and cortisol rebound that fuels 3 a.m. wake-upsHow dopamine drives anticipation and cravingWhy repeated dopamine spikes can make normal life feel “flat”The cumulative impact of stress reactivity over timeThe mental and emotional cost of daily negotiationWhy adjusting your strategy mid-season is a sign of maturity, not failureKey TakeawaysThe scoreboard reflects outcome, not intention.Automatic does not mean inevitable.Alcohol may relieve stress temporarily but increase baseline stress over time.Dopamine fuels anticipation more than pleasure.One bad night is a single game. Trends over time are your season record.You are allowed to adjust your strategy mid-season.This Week's PracticeInstead of only tracking drinks, expand what you observe:How did you sleep?Did you wake up at 3 a.m.?How did your anxiety feel the next day?How much mental space did alcohol take up?Did you follow through on your plan?You are not trying to force change. You are gathering data. And clarity reduces ambivalence.Mentioned in This EpisodeThe neurological rebound effect (GABA and glutamate balance)Dopamine and anticipation conditioningSunnyside mindful drinking app (15-day free trial)Work With MollyIf you're ready to go beyond listening and begin applying these tools with support, you can learn more about working with Molly at:www.mollywatts.comYou can also reach out directly at molly@mollywatts.com to explore what level of support is right for you.Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

Send a textThe mindset that keeps people powerless. In today's episode, we talk about the quiet narrative many people carry that convinces them the world is working against them. Over time, that belief begins shaping how you speak, how you act, and what you believe is possible for your life.We share a perspective on how that story forms, why it feels so convincing, and what begins to shift when someone finally questions it. Sometimes the biggest change starts with one uncomfortable realization. Press play and see if you recognize the story. And if it happens to be yours, good news. Every plot twist still needs an author.Here are the related episodes, each one builds on today's conversation:#226 | Effective Tools for Dealing with Challenges - https://apple.co/4aTSvp5 #448 | What REAL Validation Looks Like - https://apple.co/4hECPHQLearn more about:

We have 60K-90K thoughts a day and half of those thoughts are repeated from the day before and then half of those thoughts are negative thoughts. Over time, these repeated thoughts add up to what we think of as our personality, our truth, our reality. But what happens if we don't like our situation, personality, or reality? What if we desire change in our life? That only happens when we change our perception of reality through our perspective on what is real and what is true. Being mindful of our thoughts is an excellent way to shift into a new reality. This meditation aims to help re-wire the mind one breath at a time.

Our dialogue delves into the intricacies of anxiety and the underlying emotions that often fuel it. I invite listeners to reflect on their relationship with anxiety and how to discern the subtle messages it communicates.A significant focus of our discussion is the Hidden Emotion Model—a technique I learned and refined during my training that unveils the repressed feelings driving anxiety. Dr. Burns eloquently explains how individuals, often conscientious and "nice," suppress emotions like fear, anger, and disappointment, which leads to heightened anxiety. By recognizing and articulating these hidden emotions, individuals can often alleviate their anxiety significantly. Dr. Burns shares a compelling vignette involving a man struggling with panic attacks after receiving unexpected news about parenthood. This example illustrates the necessity of acknowledging uncomfortable emotions to pave the way for healing.Our conversation also touches on the societal stigmas surrounding emotional expression, particularly for those who identify as "nice" people. Dr. Burns and I explore how mental health diagnostics can inadvertently contribute to feelings of shame and inadequacy among patients. It's a powerful reminder that many who battle anxiety face not only internal struggles but external societal pressures that may dictate how they should feel or behave.#Anxiety, #PanicAttacks, #MentalHealth, #CBT, #DrDavidBurns, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #FeelingGood, #FeelingGreat, #Psychology, #Mindfulness, #SelfHelp, #Recovery, #Wellness, #Healing, #StressRelief, #InnerPeace, #MentalWellness, #SelfCare, #Therapy, #Coaching, #EmotionalIntelligence, #NervousSystem, #OvercomingAnxiety, #PanicDisorder, #SocialAnxiety, #MentalHealthAwareness, #EndTheStigma, #GrowthMindset, #Authenticity, #Boundaries, #SelfLove, #IntrusiveThoughts, #OCD, #HealthAnxiety, #MindfulLiving, #Breathwork, #Meditation, #Zen, #Spirituality, #PersonalGrowth, #Resilience, #Empowerment, #HealthyMind, #AnxietyRelief, #StressManagement, #Psychotherapy, #Counseling, #WellnessJourney, #LifeCoaching, #MentalHealthMatters, #AnxietySupportSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Stop Trying To Be LIke Everyone Else

A father feels called to leave his child and follow a deeper purpose. In this Vedic Worldview episode, Thom explores what many might call abandonment through the story of Buddha and reframes it as an evolutionary phase transition in consciousness. Along the way, Thom unpacks how relationships evolve, why some marriages end, and what children really absorb when parents try to "protect" their children from the effects of difficult decisions. Listen in to see how a wider context can transform the way we interpret separation from our loved ones.Episode Highlights[00:45] Q - Is it OK to leave a child to follow a calling?[01:12] A - Buddha As An Example Parent[04:20] From Abandonment to Phase Transition[06:55] Turning Content Into Context[09:14] Divorce As a Phase Transition[11:51] Children Are Like Video Cameras[14:05] Seasons of Resonance in Love[16:21] The Couple Who Waited Fifty Years[19:15] Children Want Authentic HappinessUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

In this episode of the Building Better Humans podcast, host Glenn shares insights from his recent Aussie Ten Peaks adventure. He reflects on the importance of ownership, accountability, and the impact of the environment we surround ourselves with. Glenn highlights how the trek reinforced the idea that "no one is coming to save you" and that our identity is shaped by our experiences. He also emphasizes the value of being surrounded by people who take responsibility and push through discomfort. This episode is a powerful reminder that growth happens when we step out of our comfort zones and face challenges head-on.

The Impact Your Culture and Lifestyle Has On You 

You cannot improve what you refuse to accept. In today's episode, Kevin and Alan break down the uncomfortable starting point of real self-improvement. Everyone wants growth, confidence, and better results, but far fewer people are willing to face the honest truths that make those outcomes possible. This conversation explores why self-awareness and acceptance sit at the foundation of personal development, leadership, and long-term progress.When the ego protects comfort over truth, growth stalls. When reality becomes clear, better decisions follow. Press play and see what happens when denial quietly leaves the room._______________________Episode Reference:The Pyramid of The Self - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/16-how-build-your-best-self-from-ground-up-alan-lazaros-ya3oe/Learn more about:Track the Work.

Ever wish you could shift your whole mood in the time it takes to breathe twice? We share a simple, one‑minute practice designed for those edge moments—right after waking, before bed, ahead of meditation, or just before stepping into a tough conversation—when the mind spirals and the body tightens. Rather than force change, we start by noticing what's true: the climate of your thoughts, the texture of your breath, the tone of your body. That honest check‑in reduces reactivity and sets the stage for a kinder state.From there, we guide you to soften the breath, unhook from worried thinking, and orient to safety by remembering protections close at hand—friends, mentors, loving faces, the room you're in. This opens enough space to recognize a powerful fact: you're okay right now. With that foothold, we pivot into gratitude and contentment, calling up one or two things that spark real warmth. The shift isn't theoretical; it's felt as your shoulders drop and your chest eases.We then invite love into the mix. Bring to mind someone—or a pet—you care about, sense their appreciation for you, and notice your own warmth moving out to meet them. Finally, we weave peace, contentment, and love into one steady state, a homecoming you can carry. Two deeper breaths help these qualities sink in so you can walk through your day with a responsive mind instead of a reactive one. If you're ready to reclaim a minute and make it meaningful, press play, try the practice, and tell us how it changed the next hour.

How To Make People Respond How YOU Want Them To

Why do people stop chasing their dreams even when they once believed in them?In this episode, Kevin and Alan explore the real reason most people quit long before success arrives. It is rarely about effort. Belief fades. Expectations collide with reality. Uncertainty begins to outweigh the goal. Through years of entrepreneurship, coaching, and thousands of podcast episodes, they have watched the same pattern repeat. The people who keep going approach belief differently. They understand the uncomfortable space between starting and succeeding.Press play and confront the moment most people turn back._______________________Learn more about:Track the Work.

What questions are tugging at you right now, and how might exploring the answers help you live and perform with more clarity?We're back with a special edition of the Finding Mastery podcast: another Ask Me Anything episode, built from the deep, thoughtful questions submitted by our community.In this AMA, Michael Gervais is joined by Jeff Byers, former NFL player, Co-Founder and CEO of Momentous, and longtime friend of Finding Mastery. Jeff has built something very special with Momentous, a supplement company grounded in transparency and integrity in an industry that can be full of noise and misinformation. He often says trust is earned, and he takes that responsibility personally.His relentless approach to mastery, both for himself and for the team he's building at Momentous—makes him an ideal co-host to help Mike wrestle with questions across a wide range of topics… how to perform with more clarity, how to work skillfully with strong emotions, and how to build a life that feels aligned with what matters most.Key insights we explored:Shift from perfection to purpose… why “the constant pursuit of perfectionism” is a setup for burnout, and how purpose changes the whole frame.Downregulating the nervous system… practical ways to move from sympathetic “on” to parasympathetic “rest and digest,” including breath, gaze, laughter, touch, nature, and intentionally induced recovery.Anger and emotional skill… how to feel anger without outward harm or inward collapse, and why the goal is to build the capacity to be “unbothered.”Loneliness and connection… why loneliness can surge when you leave familiar people and routines, and how “time-boxing” the feeling can help you train it instead of letting it bleed through the entire day.Reflection when life is full… how to build a sustainable rhythm for inner work, from 90-second practices to scheduled retreats, and why scheduling and celebration matter. If you find yourself wrestling with perfectionism, emotional spillover, loneliness, or a life that won't slow down, this AMA is a strong reminder that mastery is trained—one choice, one practice, one reset at a time.__________________________________Links & ResourcesSubscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!
