"If I have the power to make myself sick, I have the power to make myself well." That's what my friend Melody told herself when she was battling health issues early in her life. After a powerful experience of changing her health, she realized there was more to self-empowerment than she had been raised to believe. She is an amazing example of taking her own journey of resilience and grit and turning it into a path for grace for all girls.

Melody studied Business and Psychology at York University in Toronto while working in her family business, Robely Trading. Operating in two such different worlds proved her love for all things human potential AND business. She quickly learned that whatever she would be doing in the world would involve both things. After university she started exploring the world of coaching and other healing modalities and starting aligning herself with leaders and spaces that would help her grow that part of her interest. She studied at IPEC Coaching, an ICF accredited program and then moved on to also learn at Institute for Integrative Nutrition {IIN}. In this episode, Melody shares the stories behind how she created the GirlLifeEmpowerment movement, why it matters so much to remind young women how powerful they are, and what is possible when you follow your gut and go for the thing you really want.

We're talking about addiction and sobriety in a new way on the show. You know I've been on my own journey with sobriety for several years now, and it's a daily choice. Part of my purpose is transforming my pain into helping others to rise above whatever circumstances may be driving them towards addiction. My friend Dr. Robb Kelly knows so much about how to do this. Being a recovered alcoholic himself, he helps addicts understand their family's role in their addiction in order to become sober for good. Here's just one insight he started off with: "Alcoholics are born, drug addicts are made." Robb Kelly, PhD is a world-renowned addiction expert who believes in treating the problem, not the symptoms. He has worked for many years helping addicts and alcoholics to recover their lives from the disease of addiction. Based on his own experiences working with addicts and alcoholics over the last 20 years, combined with a PhD in psychology, and as a recovered alcoholic himself – he is a triple threat against the disease of addiction. Dr. Kelly's philosophy may seem unconventional and unorthodox. But, they are based on extensive research and behavior studies that he conducted over the last 20 years. He pulls the disease out of his clients and empowers them to fight their disease head on. Some people have referred to him as "The Gordon Ramsay of the Addiction World" because of his direct, no-nonsense, and candid approach to recovery. He has discovered that in order to get his clients to change their thinking, they must confront their disease with candor and vigor. Dr. Kelly works to "make the road of recovery less of a mystery tour." Robb Kelly, PhD has worked with thousands of people including celebrities of film, music, and sports.

This week's guest made such an impact on me the first time I had her on True Grit and Grace, I invited her back as a repeat guest!

If you're struggling to find happiness and peace amidst a stressful circumstance or huge growth chapter, this conversation is for you.

Since that time, Laura has appeared regularly on Good Morning America and the TODAY Show, and her writing has been seen in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, HR Magazine. Laura is the author of Limitless: How to Ignore Everybody, Carve Your Own Path, and Live Your Best Life (2019), which debuted at #2 on the Washington Post bestseller list (right behind Michelle Obama), has been translated into Arabic, Korean, Turkish, Portuguese, and German, and which Good Morning America's Robin Roberts chose as one of her Favorite Books of 2019, as well as Mission-Driven: Moving from Profit to Purpose (2015). Her forthcoming book, Wonderhell, is expected in April 2023. In this episode, Laura teaches you how to manage success when you achieve it, how to stay healthy amidst a busy schedule, and how to understand your own potential in a way that nourishes happiness instead of anxiety.

It's time to break free and live the life your soul is begging you to live! In today's episode learn practical steps to shift your mindset, unshackle yourself from limiting beliefs, and seize the fire of inspired work to ascend to new professional heights and transcend personal setbacks. I can't wait for you to meet my dear friend and soul sister Elizabeth Pearson! She is a Professional Coach, Spiritual Seeker, Author, Wife, and Mom who specializes in getting women "unstuck" so they can achieve their highest goals. In her 15-yr sales career, she generated and managed over $20 million of business for both large corporations and scrappy startups. She is successful because of the sky-high expectations she sets for herself coupled with a never-give-up attitude -- both attributes she now instills in her clients so they can crush whatever goals they have for themselves. So why did she ditch her lucrative (and cushy) career in sales to start her own coaching business? Because being of service to other women is her true passion; not making rich people richer. Over the last 7 years, she became an insatiable student of personal and professional development. In the meantime, she gave birth to 2 children, moved cross-country, and battled chronic pain and past traumas. Her mission is to leave this earth knowing that she made a positive impact on other women's lives and inspired them to follow their passions and achieve greatness. In this episode Elizabeth shares wisdom from her new book, "Career Confinement, How to Free Yourself, Find Your Guides, and Seize the Fire of Inspired Work." She gives helpful tips about how to move through pain, build on joy, and create sustainable success. Here's what you will learn: How seeing her husband in pain taught Elizabeth life lessons (6:30) Why allowing yourself to cry can help to cope (14:28) The importance of building joy over pain (23:21) Realizing that excitement and hope are a part of success (30:46) Why preparation is essential to speaking up (37:29) How tapping can help in centering yourself (44:15) What did you learn from this episode?

DO YOU HAVE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE WHO GASLIGHT YOU OR REGULARLY DROP ONE OR MORE OF THESE PHRASES ON YOU? "You are crazy." "You are just insecure and jealous." "You are too sensitive and you are overreacting." "It was just a joke. You have no sense of humor." "You are the problem here, not me." "But what about your issues?" "You're the only one that thinks like that'" "Look at all I do for you. What more do you want from me?" If so, you are probably dealing with a NARCISSIST. This week, I'm welcoming my good friend Rebecca Zung to the show for a revealing discussion on how to deal with narcissists, negotiate better, uncover how to deal with a toxic relationship and so much more. Something we don't often talk about on this show is what to do when you are in a toxic relationship (personal, business, or otherwise) and need the tools to get out. But it's something that most of us face at some point in our lives and it can really test our grit and grace. Rebecca Zung is one of the Top 1% of attorneys in the nation, having been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a "Best Lawyer in America", as "Legal Elite" by Trend Magazine, and recognized by her peers and the judiciary as AV(c), preeminent rated in family law, the highest possible rating for an attorney by Martindale Hubbell. But her journey wasn't always easy. Married at 19 the first time, she had 3 children by the age of 23 and then was a divorced single mom when she decided to go back to law school. She went from being a single mom, college dropout, to becoming one the most powerful lawyers in the country at the helm of a multi-million dollar practice. She is now committed to sharing her secrets and empowering others to live their lives at their optimum level of success, professionally and personally. In this episode Rebecca shares how to identify when you are dealing with a narcissist, how to build your confidence to negotiate for what you want, and the keys to navigating challenging relationships in all situations. Here's what you will learn: What is a narcissist? (3:20) Navigating narcissism in the workplace (12:54) Negotiating with a narcissist (21:40) Begin to build your confidence (31:27) The importance of not defending yourself (37:29) How SLAY works in negotiation (44:33) What did you learn from this episode?

You've probably heard me talk about Nootopia products on the podcast recently -- it's because I really love them and how they make me feel. But I also wanted to share the story behind how they were developed and brought to market because it is amazing. I got to record a conversation with the co-founder of Nootopia, "Mr. Noots" and I know you'll be inspired by his story of resilience. Most of all I am excited to share how you can go from being sick to superhuman! Mark Effinger is a seasoned entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial business champion. Working with CEOs, company founders and management remains a great passion for him. Mark spent much of his 20's in the US Air Force, playing with aircraft at a deeply technical level. The Air Force provided the perfect platform to become an endurance bicyclist, hang glider pilot, motorcycle canyon carver, and eventually training in bodybuilding. These adrenaline-fueled activities inspired the spirit and insight of what it feels to be indomitable. To operate well under pressure. To thrive while on the edge. The death of his former wife from a painkiller overdose put him on the path to creating high-performance experiential nutritional supplements. After 4 years of development, he released a product often considered the "Limitless NZT-48" as in the movie. He applied LEAN Startup methodologies, bootstrapped it, and has experienced 3500% growth over the first year (now 5,100% over 29 months). He specializes in Biochemistry, Nootropic Development, Hormone Optimization, Brain Optimization, and Product development.

Have you ever been frustrated with what you're eating and how it's affecting your body? Has it been hard to find answers, explanations, and solutions that work? You are not alone and my guest today has been right there with you. As she told me in our conversation, we live with "a food industry that pays no attention to health and a health industry that pays no attention to food." Rachel Scheer is a Certified Functional Medicine Nutritionist who received her degree from Baylor University in Nutrition Science and Dietetics. Rachel has her own private nutrition and counseling practice located in McKinney, Texas. If your goal is to optimize your hormones and gut health, have better energy, or lose weight and keep it off Rachel can help you! Rachel's journey as a nutrition coach began in weight-loss and athletic performance. However, a couple years into her practice she began to suffer from severe gastrointestinal dysfunction (IBS.) After many false diagnoses, spending thousands of dollars on doctor visits and tests, and one doctor even suggesting the removal of her entire large intestine, Rachel decided to take her health into her own hands. Using her knowledge in nutrition and dietetics Rachel became an expert on gut health and hormonal balance and completed her certification in functional medicine through the Kalish Institute. In this episode Rachel shares the path she took to figuring out her own health, learning how to eat right for her body, and learning how to find the wisdom and science that works. If you have been struggling to find a food method that keeps you healthy, this will be a powerful conversation to hear! Here's what you will learn: How Rachel found her fitness and wellness path (3:29) Getting to the root of gut health (13:48) Uncovering how leaky gut and food sensitivities develop (22:51) Understanding how sugars, alcohol, oils, and artificial sweeteners feed bad bacteria (28:56) Why cleaning with gloves and masks is essential (33:28) Bridging the gap between fitness, wellness and western medicine (42:17) The importance of being intentional with the food you put in to your body (53:26) What did you learn from this episode?

I met Charlie backstage at a Tony Robbins event, and was immediately drawn to him and his contagious, positive energy. We talked about shared suffering and how sobriety and fitness has transformed our lives. He has such an incredible story, I was thrilled when he accepted the invite to share it on the podcast with you. Charlie Engle is a writer, runner, recovering addict, and keynote speaker. As he puts it, he's an addict who runs and a runner who writes. He's run across deserts, summited ice-covered volcanoes, swam with crocodiles and served a stint in federal prison. But his greatest challenge is the one he takes on every single day—sobriety. He has been clean and sober since July 23rd, 1992. As Engle got sober, he turned to running, which became his lifeline, his pastime, and his salvation. He began with marathons, and when marathons weren't far enough, he began to take on ultramarathons, races that went for thirty-five, fifty, and sometimes hundreds of miles, traveling to some of the most unforgiving places on earth to race. The Matt Damon-produced documentary, Running the Sahara, followed Engle as he lead a team on a harrowing, record breaking 4,500-mile run across the Sahara Desert, which helped raise millions of dollars for charity. In this episode Charlie tells the stories of addiction, recovery, prison, sobriety, running, and overcoming struggles with grit and grace. He is a true inspiration, a treasured friend, a light in the world and in my life, and you will get so much out of listening to this episode! Here's what you will learn: How to welcome suffering when it enters your life and learn some of the greatest lessons (3:41) How to keep forward momentum going. From addict to record-breaking ultra runner (12:09) A way to publicly share your sobriety story (21:04) Why owning your own struggle can be so powerful. "The addict part of me is the best part of me," says Charlie (28:31) How Charlie uses breathwork and meditation to prepare for speaking (34:27) What he learned about moving your body from his time in prison (42:38) How wearable devices help in life coaching (54:22) Learn more about his 30 year sobriety milestone and how he plans to celebrate by running for 30 hours!!

All the hard work, grit, grace, and hustle we put into our lives, careers, and health can end up meaning very little if we neglect our most important relationships -- our family. That's why I loved talking with Jim & Jamie about building lasting, quality family relationships. When 18 Summers founders Jim and Jamie Sheils first met, they faced a whole new challenge. Suddenly, they were a blended family, with the challenges of disconnection and time scarcity that all families face. It was Family Board Meetings that bridged the gap, helping a new family connect, and helping the kids find a sure footing on uncertain ground. Now, through 18 Summers, Jim and Jamie reach families and organizations around the world, helping them discover the benefits of quality time and enduring relationships. In this episode Jim & Jamie share the wisdom behind growing a close-knit family, balancing each of the important parts of life, and intentionally choosing a lifestyle that supports your core values and relationships Here's what you will learn: How and Jim and Jamie met (2:15) The story behind creating the 18 summers project (11:29) Why being intentional about family time is important for busy entrepreneurs (17:41) How a sincere apology can go a long way (21:22) How to build relationships with your partner and your kids (29:48) Why questions around their blended family led Jim & Jamie to writing a book (34:26) What did you learn from this episode?
