“She sat on the edge of her bed at 2 a.m., heart racing… alone in the dark and whispered to herself, ‘Is this stress going to kill me?'” For the past few weeks, she had been dealing with high blood pressure, sleepless nights and she gained a lot of weight, especially around the midsection. “Her name is Angela. She's in her 50s. A caregiver, a mother, a professional. And for years, she gave everything to everyone—except herself.” “Until one night, her body sent her a message she couldn't ignore.” Her doctor prescribed medication for her, but she didn't want to take another pill. She wanted a plan. Something natural. Sustainable. And that's when she found her way to our Six Weeks to Fitness program. She heard about it from another friend, Theresa James, who also had similar problems. Theresa told her what the online program did for her and the wonderful support she received from the online community. Angela wasn't sure what to expect—but she showed up online. She moved her body in ways she hadn't done in years. Zumba, Yoga Fusion, Cardio Kickboxing—it wasn't about being perfect, it was about showing up and breathing again. She started eating differently—not starving, not dieting, just learning how to nourish herself, eating more fruit, vegetables, drinking more water. And week by week, the stress started dissipating and she got stronger. And she put herself first not last. By the end of the six weeks, Angela lost some weight—but more importantly, she gained something back: peace of mind and a healthier body. Her sleep improved. Her mood lifted. She smiled more. She moved more. She *lived* more. She told me, ‘Vince, I didn't think I had the time or the energy— and I didn't realize how much I needed this until I started.' I'm sharing Angela's story because someone watching this right now is in the exact same place. Stressed. Overwhelmed. Feeling invisible under the weight of life. Maybe even financially stressed. But there is a way forward. And you don't have to go it alone. Our next Six Weeks to Fitness program is starting on July 15th. It's online, so you can join from anywhere. Live, instructor-led fitness classes (Zumba, Yoga Fusion, Kickboxing, Body Toning) Nutrition coaching from Fruitarian and wellness educator Orvel Douglas Wellness guidance and accountability to promote lasting health outcomes Bonus: Free access to my “Six Weeks to Fitness w/Vince Skool” platform, where participants receive ongoing education, accountability, and community support beyond the six weeks That's 18 exercise and nutrition classes for only $5.00 per class, but you have to hurry. The price will never be this low again. So don't go it alone. Do what Angela did and sign up today at www.bodysculpt.org. You will be glad you did. You owe yourself this reset. If Angela could do it… so can you.
Ready for a bold shift? If you want to attract the love, life, and relationships you've been praying for, you have to be willing to die.

In This Episode: The spiritual concept of "dying daily" and how it applies to your life and love life Why you can't serve two masters—and how it's impacting your relationships Letting go of the idea that a man will complete you or make you happy The societal pressures around relationships: marriage by a certain age, having kids, etc. Breaking the "good girl" myth and learning to speak up in relationships Why it's time to let go of sunk cost fallacy and stop trying to "fix" unworthy partners The problem with obsessing over the destination instead of enjoying the journey Work With Keshia:
In 2017, Jessica Lowery found herself at a crossroads. A former public health lecturer and mother of three, she was facing unexpected financial hardship. Her husband's health was declining, medical bills were mounting, and three of her university classes had been canceled—cutting a significant chunk from her family's income. But amid that chaos, a memory from 2013 would come rushing back to light the way forward. Back then, pregnant with her son Beckham and battling flu-like symptoms, Jessica went in search of a natural alternative to traditional medicine. What she discovered was elderberry—a bitter-tasting, immune-supporting superfruit with a long history of antiviral and anti-inflammatory use. Years later, in the thick of financial strain and another looming flu season, she revisited that memory and began crafting her own elderberry syrup at home using only pure, organic ingredients. She posted a picture of her concoction on social media—and two people immediately asked if they could buy it. “I had been praying for God to show me a way to help my family,” Jessica recalls. “When those two people reached out, I knew that was the answer.” With faith as her compass and her family as her motivation, Jessica began producing elderberry syrup out of her home kitchen. She and her husband would stay up until 3:00 a.m., filling bottles after putting their three young children to bed. That simple act of faith sparked something extraordinary. What started as a small kitchen project quickly became The POWER of Elderberries®, a nationally trusted wellness brand known for its transparency, potency, and heart. Today, the company's elderberry products are recommended by holistic practitioners across the country and have transformed countless lives. But what sets Jessica's product apart? First, it's about purity. Unlike many commercial elderberry brands that add refined sugars, artificial sweeteners, and preservatives, Jessica's formula combines European black elderberries (Sambucus nigra) with organic ginger root, whole cloves, cinnamon sticks, and local raw honey—nothing more. This proprietary blend not only boosts the immune system but also offers powerful anti-inflammatory benefits that support joint health, reduce allergies, improve sleep, and even regulate blood sugar. “Our two guiding words are anti-aging,” Jessica says. “When you combine these ingredients, you're feeding your body on a cellular level—restoring health, reducing inflammation, and energizing naturally.” During the COVID-19 pandemic, Jessica says her own family and loyal customers who used the product daily either avoided illness entirely or recovered faster. The results, she believes, speak volumes about the power of prevention and natural immunity. But The POWER of Elderberries isn't just a supplement—it's a mission. For Jessica, faith is woven into every bottle. “I'm not just building a business. I'm building a movement rooted in God's design and nature's healing,” she shares. “What I want for my family is what I want for every other family.” Despite being offered investor deals and “Shark Tank” buzz, Jessica has turned them all down to preserve the integrity of her product. “We've grown organically, reinvesting every dollar. I'm not willing to cut corners for profit,” she says. “Our product ships cold-packed to maintain quality. No shortcuts.” As the company grows, Jessica's heart for service remains unchanged. Her dream? To one day open a women's shelter in Myrtle Beach—offering refuge and entrepreneurial mentorship to survivors of domestic abuse, a cause deeply personal to her. Even with national recognition, new product lines—including elderberry bites and upcoming formulas for pets—and an employee wellness program on the horizon, Jessica remains grounded in her roots as an educator. “I miss teaching. But now, I'm expanding the classroom. Podcasts like yours,” she said to Vince Ferguson, host of Six Weeks to Fitness, “are my new platform. I want to educate, empower, and restore health to as many people as possible.” Jessica Lowery's story is a reminder that purpose often reveals itself in life's darkest moments. And sometimes, all it takes is a homemade remedy, a prayer, and a leap of faith to transform not just one life—but thousands.

This isn't the episode Keshia planned—but it might be the one you needed. If you've ever found yourself attracting emotionally unavailable partners, inconsistent friends, or draining connections, it might be time to pause and ask: what is God trying to show me about myself through these patterns? This heart-to-heart is a holy wake-up call. In This Episode: How every relationship is a mirror—and what it's reflecting back at you The connection between inconsistent people and your own self-abandonment Why discipline and self-trust are spiritual practices, not just productivity hacks What to do when your singleness feels heavy, and your loneliness feels loud How to stop asking for the perfect partner before becoming the peaceful version of you This isn't just about getting the relationship—it's about becoming the version of you who can actually keep it. Let's go deeper, together. Work With Keshia:
Hey everyone, Vince Ferguson here – President of Body Sculpt of New York, U.S. Navy Veteran, your dedicated Wellness Coach, and host of the Six Weeks to Fitness podcast. Today, I want to talk about something fundamental, something you might think you know all about, but perhaps you've been misled. I'm going to share why I sometimes skip breakfast, and why it's a game-changer for achieving a flatter stomach – something I believe everyone should absolutely want! You see, for years, we've been told that breakfast is the "most important meal of the day." It's ingrained in our minds, a ritual we follow without much thought. But what if I told you that this very habit might be holding you back from the flat, comfortable stomach you desire? My goal isn't to shock you, but to empower you with knowledge that can truly transform your body from the inside out. Tip #1: The Power of the Overnight Fast – Stop Eating Late! Let's start with my first, foundational tip for a flatter stomach: stop eating late at night. This is crucial. Your very last meal of the day should ideally be consumed 3 to 4 hours before you hit the bed. I know, I know—it's often easier said than done, especially with busy schedules and evening cravings. But trust me, this habit works wonders. Why does it work? It's simple science. Your body needs time to properly digest food, and that process takes a solid 3 to 4 hours. As evening rolls around, your metabolism naturally slows down. Your body is preparing for rest, not for actively burning calories or vigorously processing a heavy meal. When you eat late, that food sits in your system, undigested or only partially digested, when your body's fat-burning furnace is at its lowest setting. This can lead to increased fat storage, especially around your midsection, and leave you feeling sluggish and bloated the next morning. I also strongly suggest you cut down on your portions at night. Giving your digestive system a lighter load means it doesn't have to work as hard or as long. This allows your body to truly focus on repair and recovery overnight, instead of being preoccupied with digestion. If you find yourself hungry in the wee hours of the morning, don't fret! That's actually a good sign. It means your body is tapping into its stored fat reserves for energy while you're sleeping. The result? You'll wake up feeling less stressed, less tired, and with a noticeably flatter stomach. This process is profound; it's something I delve into deeply in my book and consistently teach in my Six Weeks to Fitness programs, because it really, truly works. Tip #2: Challenge the Norm – Strategic Breakfast Skipping Now, let's talk about tip number two, which might sound "sacrilegious" to some: Don't eat breakfast in the morning! Yes, I said it. For many of us, eating breakfast isn't about hunger; it's a deeply ingrained habit. We eat because the clock says it's morning, not because our body is sending hunger signals. Instead of rushing to eat your first meal at 6, 7, or 8 a.m., try delaying it until 12 or 1 p.m. When you do this, you're essentially doing what's known as "breaking the fast" – hence the word "breakfast." To help curb any initial hunger pangs, simply drink a glass of water with some fresh lemon juice squeezed into it. You'll be surprised how much that helps! Why does this work? It extends the time your body goes without food, effectively prolonging your overnight fasting period. If you stop eating at, say, 8 p.m. and don't eat again until 1 p.m. the next day, you're allowing your body a substantial window (17 hours!) to utilize its existing energy stores. Will you feel hungry at first? Probably, because your body is conditioned by habit. But trust me, your body is incredibly adaptable, and you can absolutely go for longer periods without food than you might think. When you allow your body that extended time before eating, it will instinctively seek out energy from other sources. Your body typically uses carbs, then fat, then protein for fuel. If there are no carbohydrates readily available from recent meals, your body's next best source of energy is fat. And guess where it loves to get that fat from first? You got it – your stomach! This direct approach is incredibly effective for targeting stubborn belly fat. The Truth About "The Most Important Meal" Just in case you're thinking I'm crazy for suggesting you occasionally skip breakfast, let me drop a little truth bomb: The slogan "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" wasn't coined by a health expert or a nutritionist. It was popularized by John Harvey Kellogg from the Kellogg food company. His primary goal? To sell more cereal. And it worked like a charm – it ingrained a belief that has shaped our eating habits for generations, often without us questioning the underlying science or our body's true needs. Your Path to a Flatter Stomach & More So there you have it: two powerful, often overlooked tips – strategic late-night eating cessation and mindful breakfast skipping – that are sure to help you on your journey to a flatter stomach. These aren't just theories; these are principles I've tested, written about, and seen work consistently for countless individuals in my programs. If you want more practical, life-changing tips like these, or if you'd like direct support from me and my incredible team, then I invite you to join my next virtual Six Weeks to Fitness program starting July 15th. You'll get comprehensive exercise classes, insightful nutrition guidance, personalized wellness coaching, and so much more for only $5.00 per class! Let us help you finally reach those fitness goals you've been dreaming about. Don't let another day or another summer slip by.

Hey everyone, it's Vince Ferguson here – President of Body Sculpt of new York, wellness coach, Navy veteran, and host of the Six Weeks to Fitness podcast. And today, I want to talk to YOU – the woman or man over 40 who's been putting your health on the back burner, waiting for the "right time" to start taking care of YOU. Well, let me tell you this: It's not too late. In fact, now is the perfect time. No more excuses! Let's be real. We spend hundreds of dollars on weekend getaways, brunches, shoes, and gadgets… but when it comes to investing in our own health, we hesitate. We tell ourselves, "I'll start next month," or "I'm too tired, too busy, too old." But guess what? That story – it ends now. If you're struggling with belly fat, low energy, stress, or just feeling disconnected from your body, you're not alone. But continuing down that path by yourself will only cost you more – in health, happiness, and quality of life. That's why I'm bringing back my very popular Six Weeks to Fitness program – and starting July 15th, we're going ALL IN. This isn't just another fitness challenge. It's a lifestyle transformation. A full support system. A movement. Over six powerful weeks, you'll get: Live virtual classes 3x a week – Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7 p.m., Saturdays at 11 a.m. Accountability Wellness coaching Expert guidance from myself and an incredible team of instructors: 4th-degree Black Belt Carol Glasgow Professional Dance Instructor Carmen Carriker Master trainer George Meikle Holistic nutrition from an internationally recognized Fruitarian Orvel Douglas Access to the Six Weeks to Fitness w/Vince Skool platform – for bonus content, videos, motivational posts, community, and coaching. And all of this? Just $90. That's only $15 a week… or $5 a class! You won't find this level of quality, consistency, and transformation anywhere else at this price. Now, here's the truth: The version of you with more energy, a flatter stomach, a stronger body, and less stress – that version doesn't come from wishing. It – comes from action. From commitment. From showing up even when it's hard. You don't need to be perfect. You don't need to be in shape already. You just need to say: "Enough is enough. I deserve to feel good in my own body." That's it. And I'll be with you every step of the way. So, I'm inviting you right now – join me starting July 15th for a program that can truly change your life. Not someday. Not next month. Now. Register today at www.bodysculpt.org. Spots are filling up fast – because people are tired of waiting. They're ready to invest in themselves. And you should be too. If you join now, you will have access to my Six Weeks to Fitness w/Vince Skool platform so you join my growing community even before the class begins Let this summer be the time you took back control of your health, your mindset, your body.

You are not meant to suffer your way into love. In this episode, Keshia Rice breaks down one of the biggest relationship traps women fall into—forming friendships and romances rooted in shared pain instead of shared purpose. If you're tired of bonding over brokenness and calling it connection, this episode is the reset you didn't know you needed. In This Episode: Why "trauma bonding" isn't always what you think—but still dangerous How we unconsciously build relationships off struggle and chaos The toxic comfort of vent culture (and what it's costing you) Why elevated conversations = elevated relationships How your friend circle might be holding you back (even if they love you) What it means to attract partners who reflect your past instead of your growth You'll Walk Away With: A new lens for evaluating your friendships, dates, and DMs Questions to ask about your last 5 conversations Permission to release connections that are built on pain, gossip, or constant venting A blueprint to create relationships that are grounded in peace—not pain You're allowed to let go of the chaos. You're allowed to create peace. And yes—you're allowed to have a love that feels safe from the very beginning. Send this to a friend who's done struggling and ready for sacred, soft connection.

Back in April, I launched "Project Hoplite," a 25-week program to prepare for a Spartan Race Super 10k. My "why" for this journey boils down to doing hard things for my family, my career, and my own capabilities. Now, six weeks in, I'm sharing the first update: how the gains are going, and the lessons learned from pushing the limits. See how the needle is moving!
Message me with comments or questionsEver feel like your willpower betrays you—especially when it comes to food, habits, or self-sabotage? That's not a flaw in your character; it's a clue. In this episode, we explore the subconscious mind—the silent powerhouse behind 95% of your decisions. You'll learn why all the intention in the world can't overcome deeply embedded beliefs formed between ages one and seven, especially if those beliefs tell you that change isn't safe, success isn't for you, or food is your only comfort.I'll walk you through why traditional methods like positive thinking, strict routines, or willpower alone often fall short. The real breakthrough? Combining conscious change with subconscious rewiring. Using Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), we can access and reframe the original root of limiting beliefs—while you remain fully present and aware in a relaxed, receptive state. When this subconscious shift is paired with practical tools and habit work, true, lasting transformation becomes possible—and easeful.You'll also hear about my new program, Six Weeks to Freedom, designed to help you stop fighting yourself and finally align your actions with your desires. This unique blend of hypnotherapy and coaching includes two RTT sessions and four transformational coaching sessions over six weeks. Whether you're battling emotional eating, procrastination, low confidence, or chronic people-pleasing, this program meets you at the root. It's a powerful opportunity to create real change—limited to just five participants in this special beta round.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we've got fighting words. People are riled up here in Ontario about some more bad bills, and people in the U.S. are riled up about another week of living in Trumpland including his most dangerous moves against civil liberties yet. If you're a Canadian concerned about these things, you might want to listen to this week's guest because he has some ideas on how to fight back! This Thursday, June 12, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Six Weeks, 17 Fights. The Ontario Legislature rose last week after only sitting for a total of six weeks. And yet, in that small space of time, Doug Ford and his government managed to upset just about everyone from municipal leaders, to environmentalists, to Indigenous communities thank to the passage of the highly controversial Bills 5 and 17. These measures, which are supposed to create more housing, come at a time when housing starts are at their slowest level since 2009, so what is all this for? Battle Los Angeles. Last Friday, protest erupted in the Los Angeles area after agents for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) started arresting undocumented people looking for work outside a Home Depot. The raids seem to be the brain child of Stephen Miller, Donald Trump's most trusted advisor, especially on matters of racial animus. The eruption of protests, and the calling of the National Guard, has people concerned, especially now before Trump's birthday army parade. How worried should we be? Charlie in Charge. He may not be in Parliament anymore, but Charlie Angus is still making waves. Travelling coast-to-coast-to-coast now, Angus is aiming to rallying ordinary Canadians in the fight against fascism and to promote resiliency and resistance in local communities, and he's bring that message to Guelph in an event on Thursday June 19. Before that though he will join us here on Open Sources to talk about why you can't leave it to the politicians and how you can start to get more politically involved. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.

In the fall of 1984, fear took hold of San Jose, California. In just six weeks, six young women vanished or were found murdered — their lives cut short under brutal and mysterious circumstances. As residents watched the headlines mount, few could imagine the horror hiding in plain sight. Six Weeks of Terror is a gripping true crime story that unravels the chilling timeline of Fernando Cota — a convicted rapist who slipped through the cracks and went on to terrorize a city. A routine traffic stop would crack the case wide open and lead to a horrifying discovery.

In this episode of my Six Weeks to Fitness podcast, I had the privilege of sitting down with Anthony Bonapart—Gulf War veteran, licensed private investigator, and now, author of the captivating and philosophical novel Sophia: Lessons for the Unschooled Mind. The conversation was nothing short of enlightening as Anthony shared the origins, messages, and deeper meaning behind his debut literary work, a story that seeks to awaken something ancient, honest, and often overlooked in the human experience. Set against a backdrop of emotional complexity and spiritual questioning, Sophia centers around a young boy named Kosef and his transformative relationship with his grandmother, Sophia. But this is no ordinary family tale. Sophia is more than just a caregiver—she is a wise, mystical figure who represents deep-rooted wisdom, emotional clarity, and spiritual strength. Her relationship with Kosef acts as a gateway to self-discovery, as the boy begins to question not only the world around him, but the very conditioning that has shaped his thinking. During our discussion, Anthony described Sophia as both a character and a symbol. She embodies the feminine energy that nurtures, challenges, and guides with unwavering intuition. Though rooted in a familial connection as Kosef's grandmother, she also exists on a higher, more universal plane—as a metaphysical force meant to awaken what Bonapart calls the “unschooled mind.” This concept of the unschooled mind became a focal point in our conversation. Anthony explained that the unschooled mind is a state of consciousness untouched by cultural programming. It's not uneducated, but rather unconditioned—free from dogma, rigid thinking, and institutional influence. In a world where most of us are trained to obey systems without question, Sophia teaches Kosef to see beyond the veil, to unlearn before he learns, and to think with the clarity and independence of a liberated soul. Through a series of philosophical teachings, emotional challenges, and spiritual revelations, Kosef begins to develop an awareness that goes far beyond traditional intellect. He learns that healing does not always come from external answers but from internal understanding. He is taught not merely how to cope with life's pain, but how to interpret that pain, transform it, and grow from it. Sophia guides him through this journey with patience and wisdom, encouraging Kosef to see himself not as a victim of circumstance, but as a creator of perspective. What makes Sophia unique is that it blends emotional storytelling with deep metaphysical questioning. Readers are not simply following a fictional narrative—they're being asked to reflect, pause, and consider their own beliefs, assumptions, and inner barriers. Bonapart uses Kosef's journey as a mirror, inviting the reader to confront the limitations they've unknowingly accepted. Interestingly, Sophia herself never dominates the story with physical presence. She often exists in the background or as a quiet force—much like wisdom itself. She doesn't push or preach. Instead, she guides Kosef to discover truths on his own terms. Anthony's writing style in Sophia is poetic, intentional, and layered. The dialogue between characters is rich with symbolism, and the pacing allows for introspection. Readers will find themselves stopping mid-page to reread a sentence—not because it's difficult to understand, but because it demands to be absorbed. This is not a book meant to be rushed. It's a book that encourages the very stillness it preaches—a moment to turn inward in a noisy world. During the interview, Anthony also spoke about the broader purpose of the book. He hopes Sophia serves as a wake-up call to those who are spiritually restless or intellectually boxed in. It's for anyone who has ever questioned their beliefs, felt confined by societal roles, or sensed there was more to life than what they were taught. He wants the book to not just be read—but experienced. By the end of our conversation, it became clear that Sophia: Lessons for the Unschooled Mind is more than a novel—it's a philosophical journey disguised as a story. It's an invitation to sit with your thoughts, to question your conditioning, and to listen—really listen—to the quiet teacher within. For those ready to embrace that journey, the book is available now on Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.

In this episode I am joined by the wonderful, Jonathan McBride, for Part one of a two-part special series. Jonny and I met at The Agen Workshop in 2023. He teaches German and French in a state school in Scotland and he secured funding to go and spend six weeks watching three different CI teachers in three different countries in 2024: Me (Liam Printer) in Switzerland, Adriana Ramirez in Canada and finally, Tina Abour in Germany. The goal was to learn from what other CI teachers are doing in three very different schools in three very different systems, and to then report back to the Scottish government and education department about what he saw and learned. In this first part of our two-part series, Jonny had just spent two weeks with me in Switzerland after already doing two weeks with Adriana in Canada. He shares what he say, what he learned and most importantly, what he hopes to take back to his classroom in Scotland. Part two of this series follows up with Jonny approximately 9 months later, after coming back from Germany and spending almost a year implementing the ideas he had observed. A truly fascinating journey and a must listen for language teachers all over the world!Full programme notes are available on www.liamprinter.com/podcast.Follow The Motivated Classroom on Instagram @themotivatedclassroom and Facebook @themotivatedclassroom.I'd love to know what you think, please get in touch!

In a world where personal loss can bring life to a standstill, Brenda Eason chose a different path—one of strength, service, and legacy. On this deeply emotional episode of Six Weeks to Fitness, I had the privilege of speaking with Brenda, a visionary entrepreneur, media executive, and the beating heart behind some of the most impactful community platforms for Black entrepreneurs in the country. But more than that, Brenda is a mother who has turned unimaginable heartbreak into a movement of purpose. Brenda's journey is defined by her resilience. After the tragic passing of her beloved son, Zamari Ali Wilson, she found herself facing a choice: remain still in the grief, or rise—and build something in his name that would impact generations to come. She chose the latter. “I don't wake up chasing money,” she told me. “My goal each day is just to keep going. To stay alive. To put one foot in front of the other.” Surrounded by her loving family—two younger sisters and her supportive mother—Brenda leaned on the power of unity. “We just wrapped our arms around each other and kept going,” she shared. And through it all, she continued to pour into others, believing that lifting people up was the greatest expression of her own success. That spirit led Brenda to co-found the Black Empowered Media Network (BEMN) alongside Dr. Tina Michelle, a long-time media professional and mentor. Through platforms like Connect to Your City, BEMN broadcasts on Roku TV, Apple TV, and Amazon Prime—giving authors, entrepreneurs, and visionaries a global voice. But even with this monumental success, Brenda never stops advocating for others. Her proudest work today centers around the Zamari Ali Wilson Foundation, a tribute to her son's life and light. Brenda is working tirelessly to bring Zamari's story to the world through a heartfelt documentary and a children's coloring and activity book that will share his spirit with the next generation. Each year in August, she hosts a birthday celebration in his honor, keeping his memory alive through joy, laughter, and community. She's calling for sponsors, donors, and volunteers to help make this dream a reality. “Even if you can't donate, I'll promote your business in return,” she says. “Whatever it takes to get this story told.” And Brenda doesn't stop there. As the founder of BBON (Black Business Owners Network), a thriving Facebook group with over 70,000 members, she continues to build community every day. From virtual networking sessions to business coaching and goal-setting workshops with Dr. Tina, Brenda's platforms are helping aspiring entrepreneurs turn dreams into businesses and obstacles into stepping stones. “I'm easy to find,” she says with a smile. “Just search Brenda Eason on any platform. I'm always in BBON, all day, every day.” Her presence is magnetic, her mission is personal, and her determination is divine. Brenda Eason is more than a media mogul or a mother—she is a force of light, shining through grief to inspire hope, healing, and purpose. To support the Zamari Ali Wilson Foundation, participate in upcoming events, or sponsor the documentary project, you can reach Brenda directly via Facebook or at 202-308-3157.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Drew Ramsey, author of "Eat to Beat Depression and Anxiety: Nourish Your Way to Better Mental Health in Six Weeks."
Dr. Drew Ramsey is a pioneer in the emerging field of Nutritional Psychiatry and author of "Eat to Beat Depression and Anxiety: Nourish Your Way to Better Mental Health in Six Weeks." Dr. Ramsey reviews the remarkable research that has demonstrated the efficacy of diet for improving mental health outcomes. The foods we eat impact our brain function for better or for worse, delivering essential nutrients, fostering a healthy microbiome, combatting inflammation, encouraging neuroplasticity, and supporting neurotransmitters. He is co-developer of the Antidepressant Food Scale that rates foods based on their potential to support well-being. He is also director of the Brain Food Clinic, which offers integrative psychiatric care incorporating “dietary assessment and food prescription along with coaching, meal planning, and hands on skill building in your kitchen.” He believes that no single diet offers a panacea for mental health optimization, but that replacement of ultra-processed food with nutrient-dense alternatives offers the most benefits with ease of compliance.

In our latest episode of the Six Weeks to Fitness podcast, I had the honor of welcoming back a truly inspiring guest — Ed Richardson, certified personal trainer, entrepreneur, inventor, and founder of Jan Jo Fitness. Ed's personal story is powerful enough — losing 50 pounds at age 50 and reclaiming his own health. But today, Ed's impact stretches far beyond fitness transformations. For the past several years, he's dedicated a major part of his work to helping children on the autism spectrum, and what he shared during our conversation was nothing short of remarkable. Ed never set out to work with autistic children. In fact, the opportunity came unexpectedly when a colleague relocated and recommended Ed to step in. What began as a favor turned into a calling. Today, Ed trains boys and girls ranging from five to seventeen years old, tailoring fitness programs to their unique needs, abilities, and personalities. But as Ed explained, training these children is about so much more than exercise. It's about patience, trust, love, and connection. Every child he meets teaches him something new — about resilience, about courage, and about the power of genuine human care. He shared touching stories of breakthrough moments — like the young boy who couldn't even do a single push-up when they started. After months of consistent, patient work, that same boy surprised Ed by not only mastering the push-up but even doing clapping push-ups! Ed described moments like these as ones that truly bring tears to his eyes — moments of pride, not just for the kids, but for their families and for himself. Training children on the spectrum isn't without its challenges. Ed emphasized that every session requires adaptability — adjusting workouts on the spot depending on the child's mood, energy level, and emotional state. And not every match is perfect. Sometimes, Ed knows when it's time to step back and let a more specialized trainer step in — always keeping the child's best interests at heart. Perhaps the most important takeaway from our talk was this: you have to love this work. Children, especially those on the spectrum, can sense your energy and intention. If your heart isn't in it, they'll know. For Ed, it's not about the money — it's about making a real difference. As someone who has spent decades promoting health and fitness for children and families, hearing Ed's passion and commitment reminded me why we do what we do. It's about changing lives — one push-up, one smile, one connection at a time. If you missed this episode, I encourage you to tune in. It's a heartfelt reminder that when love leads the way, anything is possible. Stay fit, stay focused, and keep moving!

In Episode 230 of the Six Weeks to Fitness podcast, host Vincent Ferguson welcomes Glenna Gonzalez — a powerhouse marketing strategist, author, and CEO of J.B. Tyler Marketing & Consulting — for an inspiring conversation on reinvention, resilience, and reclaiming your health after 40. Glenna is no stranger to success. With over two decades of experience in public relations, media strategy, and business development, she has guided countless entrepreneurs to greater visibility through her firm and digital magazine, Entrepreneurs in the Spotlight. But this episode reveals a different side of Glenna — one marked by personal transformation and a renewed commitment to wellness through Ferguson's Six Weeks to Fitness program. How Glenna Lost 15 Pounds and Gained Momentum Initially joining the program out of curiosity, Glenna quickly discovered how different it was from her usual treadmill routines. "From the first class, I was blown away," she says, crediting the energy and support from team members Carmen, Skye, and George. By fully engaging in the twice-weekly workouts, Glenna dropped eight pounds in just two to three weeks, ultimately losing a total of 15 pounds across two cycles of the program. Her results weren't just physical. The Six Weeks to Fitness platform — particularly its educational videos and expert interviews — inspired Glenna to dive deeper. She now co-leads a women's wellness discussion group and actively participates in the school's private online platform, helping others navigate their health journeys. Balancing Business, Family, and Self-Care What makes Glenna's story even more compelling is how she juggles it all. A mother of four in a blended family, she holds two advanced degrees (an MBA and a Master's in Human Services), runs a successful PR firm, and still finds time to prioritize health. Her secret? Structure, purpose, and a mindset rooted in service. "You have to know that regardless of how old you are, there are unlimited opportunities for what you can do," Glenna encourages. Her journey is proof that it's never too late to start over — or level up. Visibility Through Podcasting & AI Glenna also shares why she believes in platforms like Six Weeks to Fitness for business owners looking to scale. "Podcasts like yours offer seven hours, four platforms, and 11 interactions — everything you need to stay in front of your audience," she explains, referencing the popular 7-4-11 rule for digital marketing. She's equally excited about the future, particularly with AI tools that help streamline business tasks. “AI wrote out an entire business roadmap for me,” she shares, showing how automation and human insight can coexist for powerful results.

It's been a while, but I'm back!
In episode 229 of the Six Weeks to Fitness podcast, I had the privilege of speaking with the inspirational Kym Majors—mentor, caregiver, educator, and author of the upcoming book S.O.S. Stuck on Stupid. Kym's story is a powerful testament to resilience, faith, and self-discovery. Raised in rural Virginia by a single, deaf mother, Kym's early life was shaped by challenge and courage. Her mother's strength and unwavering spirit deeply influenced Kym, instilling in her the values of hard work and compassion. Those same values later drove her to found CBA All-Star Cheerleading in Culpeper, Virginia—a cheerleading gym that nurtured youth from ages 3 to 18 for over two decades. More than just a coach, Kym became a mentor and guiding force in the lives of her athletes, teaching them to lead with character, perseverance, and self-belief. After a 28-year marriage ended in divorce, Kym made a bold decision to start fresh in Arizona. She moved west with her mother, who now lives with both deafness and dementia, and took on the role of full-time caregiver. In our conversation, Kym spoke candidly about the emotional toll caregiving can take and the importance of prioritizing self-care. She recounted how stress and overwork led to a health scare that forced her to reevaluate her life. With faith as her foundation, Kym began to focus on healing—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. That healing process became the inspiration behind her new book, S.O.S. Stuck on Stupid. In it, Kym shares not only her personal journey but also stories from others who found themselves trapped in cycles of poor decisions, regret, or emotional stagnation. Through transparency and humor, she challenges readers—especially women navigating major life transitions—to examine their own patterns, seek wise counsel, and surrender control to God. Her goal? To help others break free from limiting beliefs and move boldly into a new season of life. Kym's passion extends beyond writing. She plans to continue advocating for individuals living with dementia, particularly in the deaf community, and hopes to one day open a group home that provides dignified, specialized care. Her message is clear: even in our lowest moments, there is always purpose, and with God's grace, we can rewrite our story. You can follow Kym on Instagram and TikTok at @kymkan25 and on Facebook at Kym Kan. Her book S.O.S. Stuck on Stupid is expected to be released on April 21st on Amazon.

In Episode 228 of the Six Weeks to Fitness podcast, we had the privilege of welcoming a true force of nature—Carol Glasgow. At 61 years young, Carol is shattering stereotypes and proving that strength, elegance, and age can absolutely co-exist. A 4th Degree Black Belt in Hapkido, self-defense and kickboxing instructor, and founder of Kick Fever Fitness, Carol embodies what it means to age powerfully and purposefully. Born and raised in London, Carol was an athlete from an early age, later relocating to the gritty streets of Brooklyn, New York. There, she honed her craft in the martial arts world—an arena often dominated by men—and emerged as a respected leader and inspiration for women of all ages. During the interview, Carol shared how martial arts gave her more than just physical strength. It taught her discipline, perseverance, and self-belief. From earning her first black belt in 2001 to her 4th degree in 2024, she emphasized that the journey was never just about the belts—it was about personal growth, patience, and becoming the best version of herself. Carol also delved into the mental and emotional benefits of martial arts for women, especially in a world where self-defense is more critical than ever. Her insights into confidence-building, body awareness, and emotional resilience resonated deeply. And yes—she even revealed her secrets to maintaining her chiseled six-pack abs, proving once again that age is merely a number. With nearly 30 years in the game, Carol continues to change lives through her fitness brand, Kick Fever Fitness. Her passion for helping women embrace both their femininity and fierceness is contagious—and her message is clear: You're never too old to start, and you're far stronger than you think. If you're seeking inspiration, empowerment, or just a reminder of what's possible with heart and hustle, don't miss this episode. Carol Glasgow is living proof that powerful women never age—they evolve.
