  • #69 Rethinking Health: Zachariah Frank on Accountability, Wellness and Breaking the Mold
    Dec 11 2024

    Send us a text

    In this episode of Everything's Messy Podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with Zachariah Frank, the dynamic CEO of Beat Cancer and host of The Health King's Court podcast. We dove deep into his journey and what inspired him to become a health advocate, challenging the norms and pushing boundaries in health education. Zachariah shared how his corporate experience opened his eyes to systemic issues and led him to question mainstream establishments, sparking his passion for uncovering alternative approaches to well-being.

    Our conversation was all about taking personal responsibility for our health. Zachariah stressed the importance of auditing daily habits—what we eat, what we put on our skin, and how we live day-to-day. We didn’t shy away from big topics like the dangers of sugar and how often people neglect their health until faced with a serious diagnosis. It was a powerful reminder to focus on prevention and to be mindful of the choices we make.

    We also took a critical look at the medical system, touching on the lack of nutritional education in medical training and the over-reliance on pharmaceuticals. Zachariah’s perspective was eye-opening and reinforced the need for a holistic, proactive approach to wellness.

    Stress and its role in modern living came up, too. We challenged the idea of a stress-free existence, discussing how stress, when managed well, can actually serve as a guide for growth. Zachariah’s insights were both practical and empowering, encouraging us to embrace the challenges life throws our way.

    As we wrapped up, we touched on the intersection of technology and health, exploring emerging advancements like Neuralink and the balance between innovation and staying grounded in what truly matters.

    This episode is packed with thought-provoking ideas and actionable insights to help you rethink health and take charge of your well-being. Zachariah’s passion for empowering people to question established systems and prioritize conscious living is contagious. You’ll walk away feeling inspired to make meaningful changes and embrace a more holistic approach to life.

  • #68 The Warrior Within: Cheryl Ilov Martial Arts And Lasting Healing
    Dec 4 2024

    Send us a text

    In this empowering episode of Everything's Messy Podcast, I sit down with the incredible Cheryl Ilov, a true testament to the transformative power of resilience and reinvention. Cheryl shares her journey from a 20-year career as a respiratory therapist to becoming a physical therapist with her own practice, and eventually a martial artist, author, and speaker. Her story is nothing short of inspiring—showing us all that it’s never too late to embrace new passions and rewrite our narrative.

    We dive into Cheryl’s discovery of the Feldenkrais Method, a practice rooted in neuroplasticity that helps retrain the body through movement and awareness. Cheryl explains how this approach helped her and so many others heal both physically and emotionally. She also opens up about her transformative journey into martial arts, beginning at age 47. Despite initial doubts, Cheryl embraced the challenge and eventually became the first female black belt in her dojo at the age of 57. Through Ninpo Taijutsu, a form of ninja martial arts, she found strength, healing, and a profound sense of empowerment.

    Cheryl also shares practical advice for staying mobile and flexible at any age, emphasizing the importance of joint mobility and mindful movement. Her recommendations include exploring gentle practices like Tai Chi and Qigong, and she encourages us to listen to our bodies and honor their needs.

    Cheryl’s story is a reminder that healing and growth are lifelong journeys, and that strength and courage often emerge from the most unexpected places. Tune in to hear her wisdom and insights, and let her inspire you to find the warrior within.

  • #67 Ditch The Stress, Embrace The Mess: A Thanksgiving Chat
    Nov 27 2024

    Send us a text

    In this episode of Everything’s Messy Podcast, we’re diving into something we all wrestle with—perfectionism! As Thanksgiving approaches and November wraps up, I’m sharing some heartfelt insights about letting go of those sky-high expectations and embracing life’s wonderfully messy moments. 🌟

    I’m a self-proclaimed “recovering perfectionist,” and let me tell you, the struggle is real. But here’s the truth—holding onto unrealistic standards only steals joy from the moments that matter most. Holidays are the perfect (pun intended 😉) time to loosen the reins and focus on what really counts: connection, laughter, and imperfectly perfect memories.

    From my own experiences with shift-work families to navigating the chaos of family gatherings, I’ve learned that joy doesn’t come from the Pinterest-worthy turkey table. Nope, it’s found in the love shared, the giggles at burnt rolls, and the stories swapped around the table—even if it’s not Instagram-ready.

    So, how do we ditch those impossible expectations? It starts with self-reflection and accountability. I’m inspired by thought leaders like Jordan Peterson, who reminds us about the power of personal responsibility, and Jocko Willink’s concept of owning our choices. Taking a deep breath (literally, deep belly breaths can be a lifesaver 🧘‍♀️) and resetting our mindset is the key to reducing stress and reclaiming joy.

    When family dynamics get tricky—and let’s be honest, they often do—I’ve found that asking myself one simple question can make all the difference: “Is my expectation reasonable?” This mindset shift helps me focus on empathy, understanding, and what I can control rather than what’s out of my hands.

    Here’s the bottom line: life isn’t about perfection; it’s about connection and embracing the beautiful chaos around us. Let’s celebrate the messy moments, the ones where joy sneaks in when we least expect it. Because honestly? That’s where the magic happens. ✨

    So, grab a plate of something delicious, take a deep breath, and let’s enjoy this wild ride together. Keep it messy, my friends, and have a fabulous Thanksgiving! 🦃💖

    🎧 Tune in now for a candid, cozy chat about ditching perfectionism and finding joy in the little things. 💬

  • #66 Let Them Be: Finding Freedom In The Mess
    Nov 20 2024

    Send us a text

    In this episode, I’m getting real about the chaos, lessons, and laughs from my family road trip to Texas—imagine five people crammed in a car, navigating wedding festivities and all the road-trip drama. 🚗💨 It was a wild ride, but it gave me plenty to reflect on, especially after diving into The Let Them Theory, Mel Robbins’ upcoming book. Let me tell you—it’s a game-changer. Learning to stop stressing over things I can’t control? Absolute freedom. ✨

    I also open up about my personal wellness journey. From managing Type 1 Diabetes and Hashimoto's to the never-ending battle with weight loss, I share what’s worked for me—like embracing the 80/20 rule, staying consistent (not perfect), and focusing on my own growth instead of comparing myself to others. 🌱

    💬 Messy moments I want you to remember:

    • “A work in progress is messy.”
    • “Your life gets better when you stop letting others’ opinions control you.”
    • “Every journey is different—don’t compare chapters.”

    This episode is all about owning your story, living authentically, and finding strength through the mess. I hope it inspires you to embrace the messy moments in your life. Let’s do this together! 🎙️✨
