Jew From The Lou

Curling isn’t just a sport… it’s precision, power, and strategy at the highest level.In this episode of Jew From The Lou, I sit down with Dayna Demmans, a competitive curler, entrepreneur, and mom of three, and we get into what it really looks like to build a life on and off the ice.Dayna went from growing up in the rink to competing at a high level in Canada… but that’s just the surface. What we really get into is what it takes to balance ambition, motherhood, business, and relationships without losing yourself in the process.How to prioritize. How to pivot. How to keep going even when life gets overwhelming.We talk about competition, discipline, and the mental side of being an athlete… but also the reality of entrepreneurship, the sacrifices behind the scenes, and what it means to truly “do it all.”Her life is built around movement, growth, and community… but what stood out most?She doesn’t put limits on what’s possible.We also get into her love story, how a random trip to St. Louis turned into something real, and how intentional communication built a relationship across countries.This one feels like a mix of motivation and real life… the kind that reminds you that you can create a life bigger than you imagined.Dayna Demmans is a competitive curler, gym owner, coach, and mom who is proof that you can chase big goals and build a full life at the same time.This is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.Connect with Dayna:Instagram: @dayna.demmansConnect with Jew From The Lou📱 Instagram: @jewfromthelou 📱 TikTok: @jewfromthelou 📱 YouTube: @jewfromthelou#JewFromTheLou #Podcast #Entrepreneurship #AthleteLife #Curling #WomenInBusiness #MomLife #Balance #Discipline #Mindset #GrowthJourney #DoItAll

Social media looks effortless… until you’re the one doing it.In this episode of Jew From The Lou, I sit down with Sydney Walker, my first Instagram bestie, and we start pulling back the curtain on what it actually takes to show up online… and stay sane while doing it.Sydney went from college soccer to yoga (YTT since 2020) to teaching Pilates… but that’s just the surface. What we really get into is what movement teaches you when life gets hard.How to stay. How to breathe. How to not run.We talk about adversity, resilience, boundaries, and perspective… and the kind of growth that doesn’t always look pretty, but changes everything.Her work is built around four pillars: perform, restore, support, and community… but what stood out most?She’s intentional about all of it.We also get into the pressure of showing up online, the self-doubt no one talks about, and how something that looks so curated can actually force you to grow in very real ways.This one feels like girl talk… but the kind that lingers.Sydney Walker is a yoga teacher, Pilates instructor, and mental health advocate helping people build resilience and show up fully.This is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.Connect with Sydney:Instagram: @unfilteredgrowthwithsydConnect with Jew From The Lou📱 Instagram: @jewfromthelou 📱 TikTok: @jewfromthelou 📱 YouTube: @jewfromthelou#JewFromTheLou #Podcast #EmotionalGrowth #Resilience #Mindset #Wellness #Yoga #Pilates #MentalHealth #PersonalDevelopment #GrowthJourney #IntentionalLiving

Music has a way of bringing people together, but the stories behind the songs are often where the real meaning lives. In this episode of Jew From The Lou, I sit down with Mateo Gonzalez, founder of the band Eli’s Not Dead, to talk about the story behind the music and the experiences that shaped it.Mateo shares how music became an outlet for processing life, relationships, and loss, and how those experiences helped shape the identity of the band. We talk about the emotional depth behind songwriting, the instruments and influences that shaped his musical journey, and the creative process of turning personal moments into something people can feel and connect with.Our conversation also explores the bigger role music plays in culture and community. Music has the ability to bridge differences, create shared emotional experiences, and bring people together in ways few other things can. Mateo opens up about his vision for the future of the band, the courage it takes to pursue creative dreams, and how aligning your thoughts, feelings, and actions can lead to a more authentic life.We also discuss navigating fear, building confidence as an artist, and how personal loss can become a source of inspiration that fuels purpose and legacy.Mateo Gonzalez is the founder of the band Eli’s Not Dead, a project rooted in emotional storytelling, creative exploration, and the belief that music can connect people across backgrounds and experiences.This is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.Connect with Mateo and Eli's Not Dead :Instagram: @mateo__potatoConnect with Jew From The Lou📱 Instagram: @jewfromthelou 📱 TikTok: @jewfromthelou 📱 YouTube: @jewfromthelou#JewFromTheLou #Podcast #Music #Musicians #Songwriting #CreativeJourney #MusicCommunity #EmotionalGrowth #Storytelling #StLouisMusic #IndieMusic #CreativeProcess

There is nothing quite like music to connect people and create community. In this episode of Jew From The Lou, I sit down with Josh Boekesch, founder of The Scene, to celebrate the platform’s one year anniversary and talk about how he is helping bring the St. Louis music community together.While working at a local radio station, Josh was constantly surrounded by music and the incredible talent throughout the STL scene. But he noticed something missing. There was no single place coordinating and supporting local artists, shows, and new releases. Musicians were creating amazing work, venues were hosting shows, and fans wanted to stay in the know, but there wasn’t a central hub connecting it all.So Josh built one.The Scene has quickly become the go to place for everything happening in the St. Louis music world. From sharing local shows to promoting new songs and album releases, Josh is constantly spotlighting the artists who make the STL music scene so vibrant.In many ways, The Scene has become a musical ambassador for the St. Louis community, helping fans discover new artists while giving musicians a platform to share their work.Josh is also the host of The Scene Talks, where he interviews local artists and bands to hear the behind the scenes stories of their music, their creative process, and what it really takes to build a career as a musician.This conversation is truly a music lover’s dream and one of the best nerd out sessions about music you could ask for. If you want to learn more about the St. Louis music scene, support local artists, and hear the story behind a platform built to uplift a creative community, this episode is for you.Connect with The Scene:Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thescene314Connect with Jew From The Lou📱 Instagram: @jewfromthelou 📱 TikTok: @jewfromthelou 📱 YouTube: @jewfromthelou#JewFromTheLou #STLMusic #TheSceneSTL #SupportLocalMusic #Podcast #StLouisMusic

What happens when two Hendersons who are obsessed with coffee sit down together?You get zero gatekeeping and a full coffee nerd out session.In his early 20s, Sam Henderson sold everything he owned and went backpacking through Southeast Asia and Uganda. He took random jobs, searched for direction, and started noticing something interesting. Coffee shops were opening everywhere, and none of them were shutting down.That curiosity about supply and demand turned into a deep love for coffee culture.He came back to Scottsdale, Arizona, started in the kitchen of a local roaster, worked his way up to assistant, and eventually became head roaster. Completely self taught. Fully obsessed.Today, he is essentially a private barista, running his own coffee cart and roastery, Hendy’s Coffee, bringing specialty coffee directly to events, clients, and communities.In this episode, we:Break down coffee without the pretension Bust myths that intimidate beginners Answer hard hitting questions for the coffee curious Go deep for the real enthusiasts Talk roasting, sourcing, flavor profiles, and building a business around the beanNo ego. No secrets. Just two people who genuinely love coffee.If you think you love coffee, this one will either validate you… or challenge you.Press play and come nerd out with us.This is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.Connect with Sam & Hendy's Coffee:Website: Home | Hendy’s CoffeeInstagram: @hendyscoffeeConnect with Jew From The Lou📱 Instagram: @jewfromthelou 📱 TikTok: @jewfromthelou 📱 YouTube: @jewfromthelou#JewFromTheLou #CoffeeCulture #SpecialtyCoffee #CoffeeEntrepreneur #SupportLocalCoffee

STL Coffee Fest is for the coffee enthusiasts and the coffee curious. But who is the mastermind behind it?In this episode of Jew From The Lou, I sit down with Bonnie Mann, the founder and producer of STL Coffee Fest, to uncover the woman behind the sold-out sensation. What started as a bold idea has now grown into a two-day celebration of specialty coffee, local roasters, hands-on workshops, artisan vendors, and a buzzing community of caffeine lovers across St. Louis.With 28 years of experience in corporate marketing, philanthropic events, and large-scale trade shows, Bonnie knew how to build an experience. What she did not have was a blueprint for a coffee festival in this city. So she created one. She even took a job at a coffee shop to learn the craft from the ground up, studying roasting processes, brewing methods, and the culture that makes coffee shops feel like home.We talk about what it takes to launch something that has never been done before, the pressure of being first, and the discipline required to turn vision into execution. Most importantly, we dive into her message that it is never too late. You are not behind. You are not too old. You are not too inexperienced. You just have to be willing to start.If you are coffee curious, founder curious, or sitting on an idea that keeps tugging at you, this conversation will make you rethink what is possible.This is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.Connect with STL Coffee Fest: Website: https://www.stlcoffeefest.com Instagram: @stlcoffeefestConnect with Jew From The Lou📱 Instagram: @jewfromthelou 📱 TikTok: @jewfromthelou 📱 YouTube: @jewfromthelou#JewFromTheLou #STLCoffeeFest #CoffeeCurious #WomenInBusiness #EntrepreneurLife #StLouis #FounderStory

Most people think of pain as something to push through or fix once it becomes unbearable. In this episode of Jew From The Lou, I sit down with Dr. Carolyn Meister, doctor of physical therapy and founder of Expansion Therapy, to talk about what pain is really communicating and why healing cannot live in the body alone.After a personal spiritual awakening, Dr. Meister began questioning the limits of traditional physical therapy. She saw firsthand how women could do all the “right” things physically and still feel stuck, disconnected, or in pain. That curiosity led her to explore how trauma, limiting beliefs, life paths, and nervous system patterns become stored in the body and quietly shape how we move, feel, and live.We talk about fascia as the body’s living web, how it holds memory and protection, and why so many women live in their heads instead of fully embodied. Dr. Meister explains how breath becomes the bridge between the physical and emotional body, allowing long held tension and survival patterns to release safely.She shares how Expansion Therapy blends evidence based physical therapy with breathwork, hands on fascial techniques, energetics, and intentional movement to help women restore flow, regulate their nervous systems, and function at their highest capacity, both holistically and physically.This conversation is about understanding what the body holds, why pain persists, and how true healing begins when women stop overriding their bodies and start listening to them.This is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.Connect with Dr. Carolyn MeisterInstagram: @[email protected]:Home | Expansion TherapyConnect with Jew From The Lou📱 Instagram: @jewfromthelou 📱 TikTok: @jewfromthelou 📱 YouTube: @jewfromthelou#JewFromTheLou #ExpansionTherapy #WomenHealing #TheBodyRemembers #NervousSystemHealing #Fascia #Breathwork #HolisticPhysicalTherapy #EmbodiedHealing #WomenWellnessPodcast

Most people only think about their health when something breaks. In this episode of Jew From The Lou, I sit down with Dr. Priyanka Scuorzo, ER physician, new mom, and founder of MOOV St. Louis, to talk about what she sees every day in the ER and why she believes medicine has to start long before the hospital.For Dr. Scuorzo, most people’s worst day is just another shift. That reality grounds her and shapes how she practices care. We talk about why the ER drew her in, the camaraderie, the stories, and treating everyone equally without insurance deciding who deserves help.We get into what made her question the system, watching patients return again and again with preventable complications, and the moment she asked herself, what if someone had stepped in sooner?She shares how that question led her to build a practice focused on quality of life, not just survival. We touch on GLPs, including microdosing, IV therapy, peptides, hormone replacement therapy, advanced body composition testing, VO₂ max assessments, and what it actually means to outpace aging.We end by breaking down the myths around GLPs, the science behind them, and why they are not a magic fix but a tool to support real lifestyle change.This episode is about catching the problem before it becomes the crisis.This is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.Connect with Dr. Priyanka Scuorzo:Instagram:@moov.stlouis@drpriyanka_stlConnect with Jew From The Lou:📱 Instagram: @jewfromthelou 📱 TikTok: @jewfromthelou 📱 YouTube: @jewfromthelou#JewFromTheLou#OutpaceAging#PreventativeMedicine#WomenInMedicine#ERDoctor#FunctionalMedicine#Longevity#GLP#HormoneHealth#WellnessPodcast#HealthBeforeCrisis#QualityOfLife

Motherhood changes everything. Your body. Your priorities. Your definition of strength.In this episode of Jew From The Lou, I sit down with Gillian Hughes, certified personal trainer, nutritionist, former nurse, and founder of Momshell Method Fitness, for a real conversation about women’s health, motherhood, and building a life that actually works in the season you’re in.Gillian shares how her years in nursing shaped her passion for generational health and why moms are the starting point. When you educate a woman, you change a family. And when you understand how busy motherhood really is, wellness has to be realistic, not perfect.We talk about the quiet frustration so many moms feel. Doing everything right. Following the plan. Consuming all the information. And still not seeing results. Gillian breaks down why that happens and why progress for moms cannot be measured the same way it once was.If it weren’t for motherhood, Gillian may have never left nursing to start her own coaching business. Becoming a mom clarified everything and pushed her to choose presence, purpose, and impact over burnout.She also co hosts the podcast Bikinis After Babies, continuing the conversation for women who refuse to disappear into motherhood and are ready to feel strong again on their own terms.This episode is for the mompreneurs. The Momshells. The moms who are killing it, even when no one is clapping.This is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.Connect with Gillian:Instagram: @gillianhughes_momshell@bikinisafterbabiespodcast@momshell_method_fitnessConnect with Jew From The Lou:📱 Instagram: @jewfromthelou 📱 TikTok: @jewfromthelou 📱 YouTube: @jewfromthelou#JewFromTheLou#Mompreneurs#MomshellMethod#MotherhoodUnfiltered#WomensHealth#BusyMoms#StrongMoms#MomsWhoDoItAll#WomenSupportingWomen#PodcastForMoms

Everyone claps for the strong ones. No one asks how much it costs them.In this episode of Jew From The Lou, I sit down with Miss Cearra J., entrepreneur, esthetician, and community pillar, to talk about strength, grief, faith, and what happens when the woman everyone leans on is silently carrying the heaviest weight.Cearra is the owner of Naturo Health Solutions and Ageless Spa, a licensed esthetician for over 13 years, a published model who has walked Miami Swim Week 2025, Vegas Swim Week 2025, Hawaii Swim Show 2025, and New York Fashion Week 2025, and has been featured in Forbes. On paper, she is unstoppable.But this conversation is not about the highlights.Cearra opens up about losing her father in October 2022 to suicide and what it means to keep showing up while grieving privately. We talk about the strong women who never ask for help, the danger of assuming someone is okay because they are capable, and why checking in can be life-saving.This episode is about fathers watching over us from heaven. About strength and softness existing at the same time. And about becoming the kind of friend who notices.Awareness Note:This episode includes discussion around suicide and loss. If you or someone you love is struggling, you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline in the United States.

Grief looks different for everyone, but losing a father has a way of reshaping your entire world.In this episode of Jew From The Lou, I sit down with my Aunt Shira Nudell for a deeply personal conversation we call The Dead Dad Club. Two daddy’s girls who could do no wrong in their fathers’ eyes, bonded by love, loss, and legacy.I had six years to prepare for my dad’s death after his original dementia diagnosis. Shira lost her father, my grandfather, in just six weeks after his diagnosis of amyloidosis. She has been in this club for 11 years, and I have been in it for just over two months. Different timelines, the same heartbreak.We share memories of our fathers, what it meant to be loved so fiercely by them, and how grief evolves over time. We talk about the shock versus the slow goodbye, the moments that still catch you off guard, and how carrying a father’s legacy can feel both heavy and sacred. This conversation is honest, tender, and unfiltered as we walk through what grief looks like in real life, not neatly packaged or rushed.We explore how time does not erase loss but teaches you how to live alongside it. We reflect on how love continues even after death, how memory becomes a form of connection, and how grief can open you up to deeper compassion and understanding for others walking similar paths.This episode is for anyone who has lost a parent, anyone who misses their dad, and anyone who needs to feel less alone in their grief.This is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.Connect with Jew From The Lou:📱 Instagram: @jewfromthelou 📱 TikTok: @jewfromthelou 📱 YouTube: @jewfromthelou#JewFromTheLou#DeadDadClub#GriefJourney#LosingAParent#HealingThroughStory#FamilyLegacy

Everyone talks about healing, but not enough people talk about how deeply faith, belief, and presence shape the healing process. In this episode of Jew From The Lou, I sit down to explore the powerful intersection of faith, healing, and following your calling.We open up about my grief journey and how losing my dad fundamentally changed me. I share how grief reshaped the way I move through the world, the way I relate to my body, and the way I now understand healing beyond just the physical.Our guest shares his unique experience as the only religious Orthodox man in his chiropractic school and why mental health is essential in the chiropractic world, not just for patients, but for doctors themselves. We talk about bedside manner, belief, and the idea that the body keeps the score. When a practitioner truly believes in their patient, it builds trust, safety, and a higher chance of recovery through the mind body connection.We also dive into the moment that helped me discover what truly sets my soul on fire. From grief came clarity. From uncertainty came purpose. Coffee, Le Café, and podcasting became the outlets where my voice, creativity, and passion aligned.Along the way, we touch on intentional language, professionalism, and values. He shares his sensitivity to swearing and why speech matters in healing spaces. We discuss how professionals need to be mindful of their words and how standing firm in your values ultimately earns respect.Our conversation also explores the entrepreneurial faith journey. Both of us carried that spirit from a young age, trusting intuition, taking risks, and choosing paths that required faith long before the results were visible. We reflect on what it means to follow your calling while staying grounded in belief, purpose, and service.This is a conversation about faith, healing, grief, entrepreneurship, and integrity, and a reminder that when mind, body, and spirit are aligned, true healing and fulfillment can begin.This is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.Connect with Jew From The Lou:📱 Instagram: @jewfromthelou 📱 TikTok: @jewfromthelou 📱 YouTube: @jewfromthelou#JewFromTheLou #Podcast #FaithAndHealing #MindBodyConnection #Spirituality #EntrepreneurFaith #GriefAndGrowth #ChiropracticCare #MentalHealth #FollowingYourCalling #PurposeDriven #StLouis #LeCafe

Everyone talks about fitness as discipline, but not enough people talk about movement as respect, especially after becoming a mother. In this episode of Jew From The Lou, I sit down with Erin, founder of La Forme Fitness, to talk about what it looks like when Pilates meets play and movement actually supports the whole woman.Erin shares how she first fell in love with mega style reformer workouts years ago while living in Los Angeles, and how returning to Pilates later in life as a parent and a Fortune 500 operations leader changed everything. The reformer became her sanctuary. Forty five minutes with no emails, no notifications, and no outside noise. Just presence, breath, and strength. Through this practice, she found mental clarity, confidence, and a deeper connection to her body.We talk openly about rejecting snap back culture and choosing instead to discover the healthiest version of your body in motherhood. Erin explains how Pilates taught her to respect her body for what it has carried and created, not punish it. We also explore the healing power of walking, slowing down, and how simple movement can restore clarity, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect you to yourself.The conversation expands into entrepreneurship, community building, and how different AI platforms have completely leveled the playing field for founders. Erin shares how technology has helped her build smarter systems, stronger experiences, and more sustainable growth while staying aligned with her values.This episode is about inviting more play with intentionality, in fitness, in business, and in life. It is for women who are building bodies, communities, and dreams that actually support them.This is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.Connect with La Forme:Website: www.laformefitness.comInstagram: @laforme_fitnessThis is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.Connect with Jew From The Lou:📱 Instagram: @jewfromthelou 📱 TikTok: @jewfromthelou 📱 YouTube: @jewfromthelou#JewFromTheLou #Podcast #Pilates #Motherhood #WomenFounders #FitnessReformed #PilatesMeetsPlay #WomenInBusiness #CommunityBuilding #AIForEntrepreneurs #HealingMovement #StLouis #LeCafe

Everyone wants to lead, but no one talks enough about how exhausting leadership can be. In this episode of Jew From The Lou, I sit down with Jazmin Wheeler, certified executive coach and holistic leadership advocate, to talk about what leadership is meant to feel like when it actually supports the whole person.Jazmin shares her journey through some of the most sought-after companies in the world, including Disney World, the Emmys Foundation, CNN, and Amazon, and why even dream roles can feel empty when leadership drains rather than develops people. We talk about the pressure to follow the rules, climb the ladder, and chase milestone after milestone, only to realize that success can feel anti climactic when it lacks purpose.We explore leadership beyond titles, pay, and prestige, including why the corporate ladder does not always need to end in people management. Some leaders are meant to thrive as individual contributors, creative leaders, or project drivers, and organizations are stronger when those paths are honored. Jazmin also explains how she coaches her clients like a gardener tending a garden, creating the conditions for sustainable growth rather than forcing outcomes.Our conversation goes deeper into faith, marriage, and what it takes to build something lasting both professionally and personally. We discuss trusting God security over job security and the reality that while everyone wants to build a village, not everyone wants to be a villager.Jazmin is a certified executive coach and advocate for holistic leadership of mind, body, and spirit. She offers one-on-one coaching programs and group workshops, with a niche focus on immigrants, first-generation Americans, and first-generation professionals.Connect with Jazmin: Website: https://www.jdwheelerstl.com/ Instagram: @hiii_imjazmin Email: [email protected] is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.Connect with Jew From The Lou:📱 Instagram: @jewfromthelou 📱 TikTok: @jewfromthelou 📱 YouTube: @jewfromthelou#JewFromTheLou #Podcast #Leadership #LeadershipBurnout #HolisticLeadership #ExecutiveCoach #WomenInLeadership #FaithAndWork #PurposeDriven #CareerGrowth #FirstGenProfessionals #Coaching #StLouis #LeCafe

This week, we sit down with Elisa Travis, PT, PPCES, founder of HomeCore Physical Therapy. Elisa’s story begins in 1993 when she became the only Orthodox Jewish woman in her physical therapy program, breaking barriers and honoring her faith in a field that had never seen someone like her.After decades of working in traditional PT settings, Elisa found herself in an acute psychiatric hospital feeling unfulfilled and ready for something different. A stiff neck, a steak dinner fundraiser, and a chance meeting with Dr. Richard Cohen led her to shadow renowned PT Andy Lear. That experience changed everything. Elisa discovered pelvic floor therapy and instantly knew she had found her calling.She fell in love with the intimacy, the bedside manner, and the deep emotional support this work requires. She wanted more time with her patients, more privacy, more warmth, and the freedom to treat women the way they deserve to be treated. That vision led her to create HomeCore, her in-home pelvic floor practice serving women through pregnancy, postpartum healing, and the transitions of perimenopause.In this episode we talk about faith, intuition, motherhood, career reinvention, and the courage it takes to build the life you were meant for. Elisa’s journey proves that purpose often appears in the most unexpected moments.If you want to learn more or explore private in-home pelvic floor therapy, Elisa offers a free 15 minute clarity call.

This week, we sit down with Ryan Green, Founder and Chief Media Officer of The Last Splash. Ryan’s journey is anything but ordinary. He went from dropping out of college to play online poker professionally to becoming one of the most respected media minds in St. Louis, with over 15 years of experience leading innovation in digital marketing and advertising technology.Ryan shares what it was like to have his entire career disappear overnight on April 15, 2011 when online poker became illegal, and how he rebuilt his life by betting on himself again. Using the same analytical and strategic skills that made him successful in poker, he carved out a powerful career in media, helped scale Coegi into a fast-growing agency, and became a leader in emerging trends like CTV, streaming audio, and influencer strategy.We also dive into his surprise pandemic baby and how becoming a father shifted everything he thought he knew about purpose, presence, and modern masculinity. Ryan opens up about the transformation of fatherhood, the joy he never saw coming, and what it means to lead with heart.From reinvention and resilience to taking chances and doing business with everyone, regardless of race, gender, culture, or religion, Ryan’s story reminds us that the biggest wins come from betting on yourself.Grab a cup of coffee and tune in for a conversation filled with honesty, growth, and the courage to take risks.Connect with Ryan: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryangreen83/ 🎙 Podcast: The Last SplashThis is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.Connect with Jew From The Lou:📱 Instagram: @jewfromthelou 📱 TikTok: @jewfromthelou 📱 YouTube: @jewfromthelou#JewFromTheLou #Podcast #Entrepreneurship #MediaStrategy #Fatherhood #ModernMasculinity #BetOnYourself #StLouis #MarketingIndustry #CareerReinvention #MindsetMatters #LeCafe

This week we dive into the reality of grief and healing with Jennifer Campolo as we talk about what it means to live through loss, tune in to what you truly need, and find your way back to yourself one moment at a time.We open up about how grief changes the way you see the world and how, in a grief illiterate society, people often don’t know how to show up. Sometimes talk therapy is not the answer. Sometimes the deepest healing comes from simple presence and allowing yourself to feel what’s real.Jennifer shares her journey of losing both of her parents young and the questions that followed about consciousness, the soul, and what happens when our loved ones pass. We talk about The Orchid and the Dandelion and how everyone heals differently, some with resilience and some with sensitivity, but all capable of growth with the right care.It’s an honest conversation about tuning into your own needs, letting healing take the time it takes, and remembering that relationships ebb and flow like an infinity symbol. Love can help you grow into your best self, even before you feel “complete.”Rav Hutner taught that in this world there are no answers and in the next world there are no questions. This episode is a reminder to find peace in the mystery, follow your deepest truth, and live fully while you’re here.Tune in and feel inspired to honor your process, show up for the people you love, and step into your life with courage.Website: www.jenncampolo.comInstagram: @jennruss9Connect with Jew From The Lou:📱 Instagram: @jewfromthelou 📱 TikTok: @jewfromthelou 📱 YouTube: @jewfromthelou#JewFromTheLou #Podcast #GriefHealing #HealingJourney #PostTraumaticGrowth #Mindfulness #EmotionalIntelligence #LoveAndLoss #PersonalGrowth #StLouis #LeCafe

What drives someone to climb a mountain? For some, it’s adventure. For others, it’s purpose. For Sam and I...it was both.In this episode, Sam and I dive into the wild, humbling, and life-changing journey of conquering our own mountains. I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro as a self-proclaimed girly girl and princess, while Sam, a true force of nature, climbed Mount Cotopaxi with the ROMP team for their 10th anniversary to prove how far determination (and prosthetic legs) can go.Here’s what makes this full circle: Sam was actually the one who inspired me to take the leap after interviewing him last year. His story lit the fire that pushed me to climb Kilimanjaro myself. Now, a year later, I’m honored to call him Le Café’s very first Brand Ambassador.In honor of Sam and all he stands for, Le Café is donating 10% of October’s profits to Less Leg, More Heart, and Sam will personally hand-deliver the donation at their gala this November. Use code CWCW10 at www.lecafe.us to contribute today!We unpack what it truly means to take that leap of faith—beyond the documentaries, books, and movies—and what happens when courage meets calling. Because the real climb isn’t just up the mountain. It’s within.Connect with Sam:📱 Instagram: @samschaefer1This is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.Connect with Jew From The Lou:📱 Instagram: @jewfromthelou 📱 TikTok: @jewfromthelou 📱 Twitter: @jewfromthelou 📱 YouTube: @jewfromthelou#JewFromTheLou #TheOneWithTheTwoMountaineers #LeCafe #LessLegMoreHeart #Podcast

In this episode, I sit down with Heather Borman, the powerhouse behind The Selfie Room STL, to talk about reinvention, reflection, and the courage it takes to choose yourself.Heather’s journey is nothing short of transformational. From working in casinos to leading global training programs for Boeing, to selling two Bitcoin to buy The Selfie Room*,* her story is one of grit, self-discovery, and fearless creativity.She opens up about living abroad in China, getting sober, walking away from her marriage, coming out, and starting over with nothing but two suitcases, a backpack, and a dream. We dive deep into how her experiences shaped her belief that everyone deserves to be seen, celebrated, and loved for exactly who they are.Together, we explore the power of documenting your life, healing from our fathers’ influence, navigating depression, and breaking free from the pressure of routine. Heather taught me that taking selfies isn’t selfish, it’s sacred. It’s about capturing the beauty of who you are, right now, in this moment.This episode is a love letter to self-acceptance, empowerment, and the magic that happens when you step into your own light.Connect with Heather + The Selfie Room:📱 Instagram: @heathercborman📱 Instagram: @theselfieroomstlThis is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.Connect with Jew From The Lou:📱 Instagram: @jewfromthelou 📱 TikTok: @jewfromthelou 📱 Twitter: @jewfromthelou 📱 YouTube: @jewfromthelou#JewFromTheLouPodcast #TheSelfieRoomSTL #HeatherBorman #SelfLoveJourney #MirrorMagic #EmpoweredWomen #WomenWhoInspire #ChooseYourself #AuthenticLiving #PodcastCommunity #StLouisPodcast #FemaleEntrepreneur #SelfAcceptance #TransformationStory #HealingJourney #Reinvention #SobrietyJourney #StorytellingWithHeart #FearlessWomen #DocumentYourLife

Sometimes life hands us an invitation, subtle at first, disguised as a trip, a conversation, or even a name. In this episode, I sit down with Lunna, who opens up for the very first time about the story behind her chosen name and what it represents.Our conversation isn’t just about names, though. It’s about identity, about listening to that inner voice that tells you there’s more to life than the daily routine, and about recognizing when the universe is nudging you to step forward. Lunna shares how one invitation led to another, how the courage to say yes reshaped her path, and how transformation often begins with a single step out of the familiar.Together, we reflect on the power of choice, the magic of traveling beyond your comfort zone, and the reminder that survival alone isn’t enough. As Robin Williams’ character once said, “Poetry, beauty, romance, love…these are what we stay alive for.”This is an episode about answering the invitations life gives you and discovering the version of yourself that’s been waiting all along.Connect with Lunna:📱 Instagram: @lifeandluna📱 Instagram: @breathandexposurestlThis is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.Connect with Jew From The Lou:📱 Instagram: @jewfromthelou 📱 TikTok: @jewfromthelou 📱 Twitter: @jewfromthelou 📱 YouTube: @jewfromthelou#JewFromTheLou #PodcastEpisode59 #TheInvitation #Lunna #HerosJourney #TransformativeTravel #IdentityJourney #NameStory #OriahMountainDreamer #DeadPoetsSociety #PoetryAndLife #BeyondSurvival #WellnessJourney #BreathAndExposure #SpiritualAwakening #SayYesToLife #LifeInvitations #CourageToChange #TravelTransforms #PodcastCommunity

William Swofford — aka Will — wears a lot of hats: software engineer, Navy veteran, owner of @postalcoffeeco, and co-owner of CrossFit Ready 2 Live. But no matter the role, one mission ties it all together: he's here to serve and build community.That mission was deeply affirmed during his time in Ethiopia. While on a service trip, locals who had almost nothing roasted coffee beans by hand to serve him a cup — not just as a beverage, but as a connection. They didn’t want to talk about their struggles — they wanted to know about him, his family, his life. That moment changed everything. He realized that coffee was more than just a drink — it was a sacred tool for creating community.So when the CrossFit gym that helped shape his health journey was at risk of closing, he didn’t hesitate. Will and his friend Pete stepped in to buy it. When the city claimed their location through eminent domain, they didn’t fold — they pivoted, drove around the city, and built something even better at 1530 S Kingshighway. Today, that gym is more than a place to work out. It’s a hub of warmth, connection, and growth — and it’s still growing.Whether he’s roasting beans, leading a “coffee & ruck,” or encouraging someone through their last CrossFit rep, Will’s mission is the same: serve others, create belonging, and leave people better than he found them.That spirit of service started in the Navy, where Will worked as a Naval Air Crewman. It was there that he learned the deeper meaning of surrender — to something greater than yourself. Much like his relationship with God, service wasn’t just action — it was heart, humility, and sacrifice.We talk about:Coffee as a bridge to connectionBuilding a gym that feels like homeWhat it means to serve your country and your communitySurrendering to something greater (yes, even journaling love letters to God)This episode is a beautiful reminder that no matter where we come from, we’re all just looking for spaces to belong — and people like Will are the ones who create them.Connect with Will:Coffee: @postalcoffeeco | postalcoffeeco.comCrossFit: @crossfit_r2l | crossfitready2live.comThis is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.Connect with Jew From The Lou:📱 Instagram: @jewfromthelou 📱 TikTok: @jewfromthelou 📱 Twitter: @jewfromthelou 📱 YouTube: @jewfromthelou#JewFromTheLou #PodcastEpisode #CoffeeCommunity #VeteranOwnedBusiness #CrossFitCommunity #CoffeeLoversUnite #StLouisStrong #FaithDriven #MenOnAMission #WhereTheresAWay #CoffeeAndPurpose #RoastWithLove #NavyVeteran #EntrepreneurLife #FaithAndFitness #JournalingWithGod #CoffeeConversations #SupportLocalSTL #WellnessCommunity #PodcastWithHeart

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Josh Hildebrand, founder of Breath & Exposure, to hear the story behind his mission of healing, resilience, and service. We met one of his coaches, Cody Decker, back in Episode 48—now it’s time to meet the man behind the movement. A former Marine and current firefighter, Josh was, in his own words, a walking stereotype of toughness. But beneath the uniform and bravado was a man learning to face his trauma and regulate his nervous system through breathwork and cold exposure. What started as a deeply personal tool for managing PTSD became a calling. Josh wanted to become a lighthouse—for his kids, his fellow firefighters, and his brothers in service. In masculine environments, emotional regulation can feel emasculating on the surface, but as Josh shares, it’s actually the most courageous and necessary path to healing.Seeing a gap in accessible contrast therapy, Josh created Breath & Exposure—a space that brings together breathwork, extremely hot saunas, and ice plunges. These ancient practices may look trendy today, but their impact is timeless. Now he helps others reset, reconnect, and rise.We also dive into fatherhood, legacy, and the power of being the example you wish to see.🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.Connect with Josh:Follow him on Instagram: and @coach_josh_hildebrand @breathandexposurestlCheck out their website for apparel and classes: Breath & Exposure STLThis is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.Connect with Jew From The Lou:📱 Instagram: @jewfromthelou 📱 TikTok: @jewfromthelou 📱 Twitter: @jewfromthelou 📱 YouTube: @jewfromthelou#PodcastEpisode #Breathwork #ContrastTherapy #ColdPlunge #SaunaTherapy #PTSDHealing #VeteranStories #MarineVeteran #FirefighterWellness #FatherhoodJourney #LeadByExample #MasculineHealing #EmotionalStrength #MentalHealthAwareness #TheOneWhereShiftHappens #JewFromTheLou #WellnessPodcast #ServiceDriven #BeTheLighthouse #ResilienceAndRecovery #HealingThroughBreath

Wayne B isn’t just a rapper—he’s a student of the game. Born in St. Louis and raised in the rural outskirts, his journey into music started young. At just five years old, his brother introduced him to Country Grammar by Nelly, and from that moment, hip hop had him hooked. Influences like Eminem and Tech N9ne helped shape his love for the genre, but it wasn’t until 2020 that he picked up the pen and mic, recording his first song… in a car.Since then, Wayne has been on a mission—staying humble, staying real, and giving flowers to those who helped him along the way. In this episode, we talk about his creative process, what it means to chase your dreams without losing yourself, and the gratitude he holds for the Underground Society that gave him his start.🎧 Listen to Wayne B on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2sVaq2ccRUWQkgEhjZYJWs?si=T8aqezT_T-C_xfjnfq55UQ🔗 Connect with Wayne B: https://linktr.ee/WayneB_314Tap in for a real convo on passion, perseverance, and being unapologetically you.This is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.Connect with Jew From The Lou:📱 Instagram: @jewfromthelou 📱 TikTok: @jewfromthelou 📱 Twitter: @jewfromthelou 📱 YouTube: @jewfromthelou#JewFromTheLou #WayneB #StudentOfTheGame #StLouisMusic #UndergroundHipHop #IndieArtist #PodcastEpisode #HipHopJourney #RapCulture #DreamChaser #StayAuthentic #MusicLovers #SpotifyArtist #RisingTalent #CreativeConversation #PassionAndPurpose #RealTalk #ArtistSpotlight #SupportLocalArtists #MusicPodcast

Teaching is more than just lesson plans—it’s an act of service that often comes at the cost of personal well-being. The reality? A culture of burnout, especially post-COVID.In this episode of Jew From The Lou, I sit down with Sarah Bland, a former public school teacher turned wellness entrepreneur and mindfulness coach.

What does it mean to truly own your story? To take what once made you insecure and turn it into your power?In this episode of Jew From The Lou, I sit down with Nikki Serenity—model, actress, influencer, and brand ambassador—who has graced over 14 magazine covers and was featured on Dr. Phil (Season 20, The Beautiful Rebellion). She’s no stranger to breaking beauty standards and challenging what society tells us is “acceptable.”We talk about rebellion—the kind that comes from knowing yourself, standing in your truth, and deciding you don’t need permission to be who you are. From modeling and body image to music, betrayal, self-love, and breaking toxic cycles, this conversation goes deep. Nikki opens up about things she’s never shared before, and you don’t want to miss it.🎙️ Listen now wherever you get your podcasts!This is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.Connect with Jew From The Lou:Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @jewfromthelou⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@jewfromthelou⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@jewfromthelou⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@jewfromthelou⁠⁠Connect with Nikki Serenity:Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/NikkiSerenityST Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/NikkiSerenityArtist Facebook profile: https://www.facebook.com/NikkiSerenityOfficial Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/NikkiSerenityFans TikTok: @NikkiSerenityYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjOo3h4QXVhoPhVgD9Us6AQ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/nikkiserenityst Threads: Threads.com/nikkiserenityartist Snapchat: NikkiSerenityST Bluesky: NikkiSerenity Rednote: NikkiSerenity#TheBeautifulRebellion #JewFromTheLou #NikkiSerenity #BodyConfidence #ModelLife #SelfLove #BreakingBeautyStandards #DrPhil #MusicHeals #MindsetMatters #OvercomingLimits #KabbalahWisdom #PodcastLife #WomenEmpowerment #UnfilteredConversations #ListenNow #NoShaveNovember
