  • TMB73 - Chandler James - Beyond Burnout: A Journey Back to Earth
    Jul 21 2025

    Chandler James Blog

    In this episode, I sit down with Chandler James, a trauma recovery guide and ecological healer, to explore how healing happens when we return to the ground beneath our feet—literally and metaphorically. We talk about what it means to move beyond burnout by slowing down, listening to the body, and reawakening to the wisdom of the land.

    Chandler shares stories from her own journey through chronic illness, spiritual disconnection, and eventual renewal through deep nature immersion. We explore themes of ecological belonging, tracking as a healing modality, and how a “natural mind” might offer not just insight—but transformation.

    This conversation is a compass for anyone feeling overwhelmed, fragmented, or digitally saturated, and yearning to come home to something real.

  • TMB72 – Kate Galli – Beyond the Body: Why Vegan Strength Is More Than Muscle
    Jul 15 2025

    Strong Body Green Planet

    In this episode, I sit down with Kate Galli to explore what it really means to live strong—from the gym to the dinner table to the heart. Kate is a longtime personal trainer, a plant-based powerhouse, and a voice of grounded conviction in the vegan space. But her story isn’t just about muscle. It’s about values, grief, and the courage to live in alignment when it’s not always easy—or convenient.
    We talk about her early days going vegetarian out of love for animals, her shift to veganism after Cowspiracy, and how her identity as a fitness pro both clashed with and evolved alongside that journey. Kate opens up about losing her mom, transforming anger into advocacy, and the surprising ways food prep became a form of love.
    This conversation is full of real talk on what it means to show up, eat with integrity, and cultivate strength that goes beyond the body. Whether you're vegan, veg-curious, or simply craving more meaning behind your habits, this one’s for you.

  • TMB71 - Zac Russell - Travel Light: Drop the Story, Keep the Peace
    Jul 14 2025

    Zac Russell on Link Tree

    I sat down with Zac Russell, and this conversation felt like a breath of fresh air through the noise of everyday life. He brought such calm clarity—not with techniques or frameworks, but with presence. Together, we explored what it means to travel light in a world that encourages us to carry so much.


    We talked about:

    • Dropping the story: how ego scripts keep us in loops of survival, and what happens when we set them down.

    • The weight of thought: how holding on to past pain and future worry shows up in the body.

    • Peace as a practice: not something we earn, but something we uncover when we stop performing.


    • Coaching as space-holding: how transformation happens through simple presence, not diagnosis.


    • And how a clear view of death can bring sharper peace to the now.

    Zac reminded me that we’re always carrying something—and we always have the choice to put it down. This one’s an invitation to drop the story, keep the peace, and walk a little lighter.
