Power Quote: Behind every action is a beliefDescription:Today we dive into part 2 of my interview with Elena Aguilar. Part 1 was a must listen and we released in back on July 1 (260). A link to that episode and my two previous episodes from 2024 are in the show notes.In part 1 we talked about listening and I hope you've been able to exercise your listening muscle over the past couple weeks, and that you followed Elena's advice to dig into your own story and beliefs around leadership and teaching.Today we'll talk about purpose – both the school's and the teachers', and how to support and grow teachers even in such a stressful and chaotic time. I love this episode because it contains a call to dig deeply into ourselves as leaders and give some very practical advice on how to help teachers. And, as with part 1, I include Elena's closing words of wisdom – a call for us to slow down. It is so critical I wanted you to hear it again.Show IntroSponsor Spot 1:Being an assistant principal means that safety is a quadrant 1 activity – in your building and beyond its walls.

In this episode, I'm breaking down one of the most emotionally charged moments in coaching… That moment when your client is spinning. You've coached them on this before. They “should” get it. But they're stuck. They're spiraling in confusion, asking questions, doubting, avoiding, not implementing. And you're wondering: Is it me? Is it my coaching? Is it my IP?

Dori Lewis, MA, MEd, LPC-S, is a co-founder of Elemental Psychedelics and owner-operator of Reflective Healing in Fort Collins, CO, where she blends transpersonal psychology, depth work, and psychedelic-assisted therapy after stewarding nearly 100 ketamine therapy sessions and receiving training in shamanic ritual. As an educator, she has delivered talks for the professional psychedelic community, co-teaches introductory psychedelic therapy workshops, and serves as core faculty for the Psychedelic Research and Training Institute (PRATI), specializing in teaching clinicians about set and setting, ceremony, and ritual within ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. Her latest venture, Elemental Psychedelics, is a women-led training center providing guidance through a feminine lens, which aligns with her belief that those with influence in professional and psychedelic communities must stay informed and challenge disinformation and questionable ethical practices.Shannon Hughes MSW, PhD, is a co-founder of Elemental Psychedelics, where she organizes high-quality training and experientials to help practitioners develop their relationship to the psychedelic space with clarity, humility, and integrity, drawing on her background in research and academia while valuing both scientific evidence and inner guidance systems. For more than a decade, she was a researcher and educator in Higher Education with a tenured faculty position at a State University before co-founding The Nowak Society in 2017, a Colorado-based non-profit that builds and organizes psychedelic communities while also contributing to psychedelic policy through advisory committees and publishing community-partnered research on "underground" psilocybin practitioners. Through her private therapy and coaching practice (An Enduring Love) and Elemental Psychedelics, she has developed and delivered introductory workshops, psychedelic immersive trainings, and psychedelic circles to health professionals, while maintaining her personal belief that practitioners should hold their own deep relationship with the medicines they work with.Episode Highlights▶ Dori Lewis's shift from traditional therapy to psychedelics to better support clients▶ Shannon Hughes's journey from academia to real-world psychedelic applications▶ How Elemental Psychedelics emerged from a shared vision for healing and community▶ What Colorado's Prop 122 means for personal and regulated psychedelic use▶ Why psychedelic therapy costs reflect deep training and regulation▶ The importance of trust in the therapeutic psychedelic relationship▶ How psychedelics fit into a wider healing toolkit▶ A reimagined future of healing through psychedelic practices▶ The rise of feminine leadership in psychedelic work▶ Navigating the challenges and opportunities of commodifying psychedelicsDori Lewis & Shannon Hughes's Links & Resources▶ Website: https://www.elementalpsychedelics.com/  Download Beth's free trainings here: Clarity to Clients: Start & Grow a Transformational Coaching, Healing, Spiritual, or Psychedelic Business: https://bethaweinstein.com/grow-your-spiritual-businessIntegrating Psychedelics & Sacred Medicines Into Business: https://bethaweinstein.com/psychedelics-in-business▶ Beth's Coaching & Guidance: https://bethaweinstein.com/coaching ▶ Beth's Offerings & Courses: https://bethaweinstein.com/services▶ Instagram: @bethaweinstein ▶ FB: / bethw.nyc + bethweinsteinbiz ▶ Join the free Psychedelics & Purpose Community: / psychedelicsandsacredmedicines

Power Quote: “How do you want me to listen?”Description:Today's guest is someone I consider to be a master at the art of coaching, which is appropriate as she wrote the best-selling book titled The Art of Coaching. I Had Elena Aguilar on the show a little over a year ago and we split the interview into two parts, episodes 204 and 205 (link in the show notes) because it was so rich and packed with powerful thoughts and techniques. This interview with Elena is even more dense – so much so that we are splitting it into three parts. In today's section Elena and I dive into listening and there is so much packed into the span of fifteen minutes that I decided to release it as a full episode. If you listen closely, you'll recognize that the discussion is embedded within the intro section of celebrations and stories. We didn't even get to the main interview before Elena shared some wisdom that I wanted to put on its own, for your benefit.After this conversation, I've added Elena's thoughts on “the one thing leaders should take away.” It is consistent with today's main topic, but I will also include it in each of the next two part of our discussion because it is so powerful I think we all, myself included, need to listen to it once a week.Sponsor Spot 1: I'd like to thank Kaleidoscope Adventures for sponsoring today's show.

Genetic Testing and Stress: A New Approach to Weight LossEpisode Summary:In this episode, Dr. Ali Novitsky delves into the intricate relationship between cortisol and weight loss. As an obesity medicine doctor, she teaches about cortisol, a stress hormone, in a way that anyone can understand - and how this important chemical can significantly impact weight loss efforts.Listeners will walk away with a new understanding of how to stop battling their biology, reconnect with their bodies, and embrace a compassionate, personalized approach to long-term health.1. The Stress-Weight Loss DisconnectHow cortisol — the body's primary stress hormone — impacts fat retention, appetite, insulin resistance, and even skeletal muscle loss.Why traditional advice (eat less, move more) often fails under chronic stress conditions.2. Cortisol's Five-Fold Impact on Fat LossEnhances fat storage via lipoprotein lipase.Raises blood sugar through gluconeogenesis.Promotes insulin resistance, sabotaging metabolism.Stimulates cravings for sugary, fatty foods.Depletes muscle mass — especially under high-exertion training paired with emotional stress.3. How Stress Alters Appetite & MotivationThe biological basis behind binge-eating urges and low exercise motivation during stress.How stress-related sleep disruption increases ghrelin (hunger) and suppresses leptin (satiety).4. The Power of Genetics and PersonalizationWhy Dr. Novitsky utilizes genetic testing (e.g., Genomind) to identify cortisol-related SNPs and tailor strategies accordingly.Insight into Dr. Novitsky's own cortisol sensitivity and how it shaped her evolution.5. Mind-Body Fitness: A Holistic Training PhilosophyHow Dr. Ali moved from calorie-obsessed fitness to personalized, neuroscience-driven strength training.Why “less is more” when it comes to training under chronic stress and how to work with your nervous system, not against it.Examples of muscle-preserving success — even among clients on GLP-1 medications like her 70-year-old mother-in-law. 6. Transformational Coaching & CommunityA behind-the-scenes look at Dr. Ali's Transform program; not just a fitness plan, but a full-body reset grounded in self-compassion and personal truth.Why clients return not for new content, but for the safe, sustaining sisterhood and the life-changing mental shifts.⏱️ Timestamps:00:00:00 - Introduction and Eye Appointment00:01:09 - Cortisol Connection with Weight Loss00:02:45 - Genetic Testing and Cortisol Response00:04:10 - Typical Case Scenario00:05:37 - Understanding Cortisol's Impact00:08:06 - Cortisol and Blood Sugar Levels00:09:32 - Cortisol's Effect on Appetite00:10:48 - Skeletal Muscle Mass Loss00:12:57 - The Sleep-Cortisol Relationship00:14:40 - Strategies for Managing Stress00:17:11 - Conclusion and Program Offerings
