"I Look Better at 36 Than at 25 Years Old" Why Whitney Bernabei Believes Sound Healing is the Future of Medicine (PORTSMOUTH) 1:20:40

för 1 year sedan1:20:40

1:20:40

Whitney Bernabei took the traditional route in life. She went to college, landed a job in cushy corporate America, attended the happy hours, and adhered to the American template for "success." It never felt right, yet she played along. That's what she was supposed to do. But after years of facing debilitating injuries that modern medicine couldn't solve, Whitney had had enough. She knew there had to be another way to alleviate her physical, mental, and emotional suffering. The solution? Alternative medicine. Not only did this style of treatment cure her physical ailments, it also led her to the live in the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest, start a business in Portsmouth around energy healing, and help Whitney feel, look, and think the best that she's ever had. In this conversation from Empowered Aura , her energy healing studio in downtown Portsmouth, Whitney and I discuss the following: Opening montage (00:00) What is sound/energy healing? (01:52) Whitney's intuitive powers (03:00) Why she suppressed her true self for a long time (05:28) How modern medicine never solved any of Whitney's ailments in her 20s (08:42) Why modern medicine is "broken" (13:27) How 18 months in a van changed Whitney's life (19:20) Why Whitney ran away to live in the wilderness alone (23:20) Starting a business around energy healing (27:00) The perception of working in energy healing (31:15) What problems can a sound bath solve? (36:20) How alternative medicine has helped Whitney look and feel better than when she was younger (44:34) The chakras and why they matter (49:00) Why Whitney feels sound is the "future of medicine" (56:40) The importance of spending time alone (01:07:00) How modern technology is harming us more than helping (01:12:40) A sound healing demonstration (01:17:00) To learn more about booking sound healing sessions at Empowered Aura, visit https://www.empowered-aura.com/ or follow them on Instagram .

3 Bridges Yoga’s Stephanie Paolini, Folk Singer Sam Robbins, and Entrepreneur Jennifer Desrosiers LIVE at The Music Hall Lounge (PORTSMOUTH) 1:52:42

för 1 year sedan1:52:42

1:52:42

I recorded the first episode of this podcast from the confines of my roommate's closet in our home in Connecticut in September 2020. And now, three and-a-half years later, we've made it to the big stage. From the prestigious Music Hall Lounge in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, it's the first LIVE edition of "The Found Generation" podcast (!!!!!!). And in this very special episode, I'm joined by three very special people from my beloved Seacoast community: Stephanie Paolini is the proud owner of 3 Bridges Yoga in Portsmouth. In our conversation, we dive into her CRAZY backstory, which involves getting robbed at gunpoint, a tough battle with cancer, illegally buying a home, and more. Despite this madness, she is perhaps the kindest human being on the planet, and Stephanie is someone I have immense respect for. Sam Robbins is often described as an "old soul singer songwriter." A Nashville-based musician whose music evokes the likes of James Taylor, Robbins has gained recognition from extensive touring and from his 2018 appearance on The Voice . In our conversation, we discuss his decision to leave the Seacoast for Nashville, the state of the music industry, the realities of touring, his songwriting process, and more. He also tries to get me canceled. Jennifer Desrosiers is the CEO/Founder of Altitude Companies , as well as beloved Seacoast staples LANEY & LU , Ginger Fox Baking , and PALETTE . After spending 20 years climbing the ranks of soul-sucking corporate America, Desrosiers left that world behind in 2012 so she could pursue the "integrated lifestyle" she craved for herself. In our conversation, she gives advice to anyone who wants to take the leap, and we also talk about managing ambition, the keys to being a great leader, and what she hopes her legacy will be.

New York City Media Star Peter Rosenberg on War, Modern Media's Issues, and Political Polarization 1:15:36

för 1 year sedan1:15:36

1:15:36

I’ve produced podcasts with Peter Rosenberg for five years. And if I could use one word to describe him, it’s PASSIONATE. And that fiery passion, which he holds for things like hip hop music, sports, professional wrestling, his dogs, and broadcasting will undoubtedly shine through in today’s conversation. However, this conversation was not the one I expected to have with him. I rarely talk politics. I hardly read the news, so I don’t feel comfortable speaking of topics I know very little about. But in the name of my own self-improvement, of getting out of my comfort zone, I accepted Peter’s willingness to speak so candidly about subjects he holds very near and dear to his heart. So in today’s unique podcast, Peter and I begin by discussing his very busy schedule hosting TV shows/radio shows/podcasts for New York City’s Hot 97, ESPN , The Ringer , Wondery , and WWE. After that, Peter opens up about his addiction to social media and how the negative comments — ones like he just received from far right voice Candace Owens — can affect his self-image. Then, we’re led into a conversation about Joe Rogan’s podcast, which then opens up a Pandora’s Box of controversial topics I never discuss: Donald Trump, political polarization, and the ongoing war in Gaza between Israel and Palestine. These are important conversations to have, and I'm grateful Peter and I got to have it in an open, honest, and non-judgmental safe space. To support more important conversations like this, please follow "The Found Generation" on Apple Podcasts , Spotify , or YouTube . And if you're in the New England area, I'm hosting a LIVE version of my podcast at The Music Hall Lounge in Portsmouth, NH! Click here to get your tickets. INTRO (00:00) Rosenberg's Very Busy Schedule (01:33) Work-Life Balance (06:18) Rosenberg's 2 Addictions (12:12) His Relationship with Social Media (14:33) The Evolution of the Media (25:00) The Joe Rogan/COVID Vaccine Controversy (29:33) Similarities between Rogan and CNN (33:25) How Donald Trump Changed the Way We Argue (37:35) Opinions on the War Between Israel and Palestine (43:24) If You Were U.S. Dictator for a Day, What Would You Do?(01:10:10)…

Women's Health Coach Dr. Sonayna Chandran: How to Lose Weight, Get Fit, and Reach Your Potential (INSPIRING!) 1:08:59

för 1 year sedan1:08:59

1:08:59

In her twenties, Dr. Sonayna Chandran was simply going with the flow, unsure of her life's direction, unaware that she was capable of more. Tired of living without a purpose, Sonayna decided to make a change. She began talking to a therapist. She hired a fitness coach. She started working out religiously and eating nutritious foods that supported, not defeated, her fitness goals. After that, everything started clicking. Sonayna started feeling better about herself. She gained more confidence, something she'd long struggled with. Her relationships blossomed. Toxic self-defeating behaviors became a thing of the past. Plus, she started seeing her abs! Amazed by how some simple lifestyle changes could drastically affect the quality of her day-to-day life, Sonayna decided during the pandemic that she also wanted to help people stop with the self-destructive behaviors that once threatened to derail Sonayna from realizing her own potential. Now, Sonayna spends her days in London helping, healing, and educating as an online women's coach. And on today's episode, she ⁠returns to the podcast ⁠ to discuss the following: Intro (00:00) Why Sonayna started an online coaching business (00:49) Where Sonayna went wrong in her twenties (04:06) Why she loves helping people realize their potential (09:52) How to lose weight safely (15:50) Why dieting is NOT deprivation (23:32) How women can get the "hourglass" body type (25:20) How to MAKE TIME for exercise (27:28) The healthiest thing you can do for yourself right now (30:40) The importance of just showing up (36:03) Plus, Sonayna dives deep into something that's very, very personal (37:55) at the end of today's episode. I'm very grateful that she shared this part of her story, and I'm even more grateful to call her a close friend. To support Sonayna (b/c she deserves it), please give her a follow on Instagram @sc.coaching_ To support this podcast, please give it a follow on my Apple Podcasts , Spotify , or YouTube feeds.

Jason Hartley grew up as a poor kid in rural Tennessee. With big dreams of playing the drums with rock bands in front of sold out crowds, Jason tried as hard as he possibly could to overcome the obstacles he faced as a child. But his efforts were never enough. In his late twenties, Jason gave up the dream to combine two side interests of his: mixed martial arts and YouTube. Six years after making the decision to go full-time building MMA On Point, Jason and his growing team now live and work in London creating exceptional daily content for one of the preeminent YouTube channels in combat sports.

The Man Who Changed My Life: Ariel Helwani Talks Creating Successful Content, What’s Next, and That Time I Spent $296 on Water 1:17:58

för 1 year sedan1:17:58

1:17:58

I owe everything to Ariel Helwani . Without me asking, Ariel praised my work to ESPN executives when we used to walk the halls together. Then, he helped me land the producing job that gave me the safety net I needed to leave ESPN in early 2021. A few months later, he recommended me for my current role as his producer at Spotify, a fully remote job that’s allowed me to travel the world, produce impactful far-reaching podcasts for sports fans, and work with the people I love to work with at the top audio company in the world. Furthermore, Ariel generously agreed to write a blurb for the front cover of my book , another example to add to an incredibly long list of unnecessarily kind things he’s done for me since we started working together five years ago. When I began this podcast in 2020, I knew I wanted to ask Ariel to join when I was ready. That day has finally come. Ariel Helwani -- the top combat sports journalist in the world, one of the best interviewers in the media industry, and one of the most prolific content creators on planet Earth -- joins me for a wide-ranging conversation about his career, personal life, what he still has left to prove, our work together, and so much more: Opening montage (00:00) Why Ariel's main show, " The MMA Hour, " remains so popular after 10+ years (01:05) Ariel's very successful content creation strategy (07:00) Why Ariel wants to be more like ESPN's Pat McAfee (09:25) Whether Ariel doubted he'd ever find success (17:52) Why having kids "saved" Ariel's life (31:15) Why you should say yes...and then say no (35:40) How to network properly (42:07) Did Ariel get lucky? (48:15) The happiest moment of Ariel's career (54:23) An inside look at the unique relationship between Ariel and I -- which involves some stories about minimalism, how I got into MMA, and Fiji water (59:24) To support Ariel, give him a follow on Instagram @arielhelwani.

för 1 year sedan1:03:13

1:03:13

According to The New York Times, the Nazis murdered approximately 500,000 Romani people during the Holocaust. But you probably didn't know that. And so it goes for the Romani people, a diasporic ethnic group that's long been forgotten and discriminated against in countries all over the world, even in America. For centuries, the Romani people have relied on the sacred art of fortune telling not only to escape persecution, but also to create community, carry on legacy, and escape the dire poverty that's come to cripple so much of the Romani community. Today's guest Jezmina Von Thiele is a proud Romani fortune teller. On today's episode, she joins me in Portsmouth to enlighten and educate me on the following subjects: Opening montage (00:00) The history of the Romani people (01:58) Why "Gypsy" is a hurtful racial slur (04:50) Persecution of the Romani people (08:29) Jezmina's horrifying personal experiences with discrimination (10:50) How to support the Romani people (23:21) The significance of fortune telling in the Romani community (26:25) How to learn fortune telling (34:51) Jezmina reads my palm (39:10) How to improve yourself by applying information learned from a palm reading (53:00) Jezmina's upcoming book and her podcast (56:18) Jezmina Von Thiele is a fortune teller based in New Hampshire. A writer, podcast host, lifelong fortune teller, and former professor, Jezmina is committed to upholding Romani traditions and educating the masses about the centuries-long persecution of the Romani people she loves so dearly.

**TRIGGER WARNING** This episode contains references to disordered eating, addiction, and more. Viewer and listener discretion is advised. Rachel Kimberly spent the first half of her 20s at war with herself. A mom at 23 years old, Rachel found herself unable to cope with the challenges of young motherhood. To manage the stress, she resorted to drinking. A lot. Then, to gain back control of her life, she returned to controlling the one thing she could always control: Food, which further deepened her battle with disordered eating, something she'd struggled with since the age of seven. Then, when the COVID-19 pandemic locked her inside, the marriage between Rachel and her husband deteriorated quickly. Eventually, after having a second child, the two divorced. But today, after years of working on herself and destroying the demons that once destroyed her, Rachel leads a completely different life. Now a single mother of two, Rachel is a fitness enthusiast and thriving lifestyle photographer in the seacoast of New Hampshire. But to arrive at this place, the journey was not easy. It's quite the story to share. That's what this episode is about. 00:00 Opening Montage 01:54 Managing Time for Fitness 04:37 Early Morning Routines 08:49 Dealing with Alcohol Issues 14:38 Dealing with an Eating Disorder 26:45 Regrets and Lessons from a Failed Marriage 35:37 The Passion for Photography 43:56 Single Mom Life To support Rachel and her work, give her a follow on Instagram @rachelkimberly.photo .

för 1 year sedan1:39:52

1:39:52

Social media runs our lives. TikTok dominates our attention span. Instagram likes (or lack thereof) determine our self-worth. Alluring notifications from Twitter pull us from the present moment--the most precious thing we have. Because of the stakes, any conversation about social media is an important one.

Social Media Star Conner Burks on the Grind, Giving Up Alcohol, and Hitting Rock Bottom (NEW YORK CITY) 1:18:30

1:18:30

Conner Burks never imagined he'd get to this point. From 2018-21, he sleepwalked through a miserable existence working overnight shifts at ESPN while living in dreary central Connecticut one thousand miles away from his beloved Atlanta.
