In this episode, I talk with Steffani LeFevour, happiness coach and author of You Are A Badass Mom, about the real challenges of motherhood — and how to move through them using tools that support your body, mindset, and actions.

We cover practices like gratitude, focusing on what’s going well, redirecting your attention to what you do want, journaling, physical movement, getting outside, calling a friend, stopping complaints, canceling negative thoughts, memento mori, and radical acceptance.

By making simple shifts in in thought, body, and behavior, you can reshape your reality and feel calmer, happier, and more free. And when stress hits, you’ll have the tools to meet the situation with greater peace, clarity, and calm.

These tools aren’t just for mothers — they can help anyone reduce stress, improve their energy and mood, and feel more in control of their experience.

In this episode, I talk with creative and filmmaker Rachel Dunn about her experiences with narcolepsy, emotions, and animal communication. We discuss the upsides of narcolepsy — such as creativity and the ability to quickly nap or fall asleep — how intense emotions trigger REM sleep and cause her body to collapse, and how she’s learned to suppress those emotions. Rachel also shares her experience with medications, sleep paralysis, a possible link to shift work, and how she channels her emotions through filmmaking and animals.

She communicates with animals through telepathy, mental images, the camera, and by quieting her mind to truly listen. We also cover eye contact, in-person encounters, and how to stay calm in potentially dangerous situations.

Rachel’s story offers a glimpse of what it’s like to live with narcolepsy, the power of emotion, and reconnection with animals amidst the noisy modern world.

In this episode, I talk with Amanda Wiggins, CEO of The cGP Lab in New Zealand. We explore how about how our choices across early, middle, and later life can influence brain health and long-term risk of dementia. Many of these factors—like high blood sugar, diabetes, hypertension, drinking, and smoking—are closely tied to vascular health. Amanda explains how blood vessels function, how they get damaged, and what we can do to protect and repair them.

She also introduces cGP (cyclic glycine proline), a supplement that helps regulate IGF-1, supports blood vessel repair, and may lower the risk of dementia, Parkinson’s, and other neurological conditions.
