🎙 Discomfort

🧩 Season Theme: Hungry
The season theme Hungry explores the ache for something more the hunger for fulfillment, meaning, and a life that actually feels like our own.

👣 Guest Introduction:
We’ve all heard the phrase about the ostrich sticking its head in the sand. But what happens when we live that way avoiding, numbing, or ignoring what’s right in front of us?

Today’s guest, Megan Warren, knows this tension firsthand. Once a single mom working full-time in a foreign country while raising her son with autism, Megan wore the mask of success while quietly wrestling with people-pleasing, emotional suppression, and burnout. At 40, she made the courageous choice to stop hiding and start living differently.

Now, as an inner development coach and founder of Extraordinary Lives, Megan helps high-achieving women stop checking society’s “should” boxes and start creating a life that’s actually aligned with what they’re hungry for. She believes transformation doesn’t come from the outside it starts within.

🎙 Sugar-Free

🧩 Season Theme: Hungry
This season we’re talking about hunger physical, emotional, and spiritual. What do we crave? What fills us? And what leaves us empty?

👣 Guest Introduction:
Dr. Cali Estes knows firsthand the dangers of quick fixes and hidden addictions. Early in her life, she was prescribed the now-banned weight-loss drug Fen-Phen a combination that promised results but came with devastating risks like heart valve disease and pulmonary hypertension. That experience, paired with her own journey, fueled her mission to expose the hidden dangers in substances we consume every day including one of the biggest culprits: sugar.

Known as “The Female Dr. Drew” and “The Battery Recharger,” Cali is a global leader in addiction recovery, mental health, and performance optimization. She’s the founder of Sober On Demand®, and she’s spent over 25 years helping CEOs, athletes, creatives, and everyday people reset their brain chemistry, break free from burnout and addiction, and reclaim their lives.

💡 Episode Highlights:

Cali’s personal story of being prescribed Fen-Phen and the fallout when it was banned.

The dangers of sugar and why it’s one of the most addictive substances we face daily.

How sugar impacts not just physical health but also mental clarity and emotional stability.

Why high-performers are especially at risk of hidden addictions.

Tools Cali uses from neurofeedback to biohacking to help clients heal and thrive.

👉 Your Challenge This Week:
Go sugar-free for seven days. Notice how your body, mind, and mood respond. Hungry isn’t always about food it’s about what we run to when we’re empty.
