119. Justin Frandson | Nerve Health and Waking up the Electric Body Sep 12, 2023

Show notes

Justin Frandson is an Athleticism Performance Coach using nerve health to strengthen and heal injury and misalignments in the body. He practices on the premise that the body is electric and through light therapy and static stretching, our cells are able to communicate to one another more efficiently and in turn, allows the body to heal itself.

This conversation is for both athletes and those who aren’t — waking up the nervous system and preparing our body for movement so that we can feel better and perform better on a daily basis.

Justin and I dive into…

➝ Using GRT lights to reset the nervous system

➝ The three pillars of performance—sport and daily

➝ Developing a 100 Day Gong practice

➝ Practical ways to wake up our nervous system

➝ His EMF Rocks protocol for home and travel

➝ The connection between laptops and female infertility

117. Connor Beaton | ManTalks, Healing Masculine Wounds, and Learning How to Express Anger Jul 31, 2023

Show notes

For men, many of us were raised with the rule “if we’re struggling, don’t talk about it”. This is what had Connor Beaton hitting rock bottom and eventually, opening his eyes and heart to the importance of having the support to express his emotions. Harboring such subtle and heavy emotions, with no outlet or invitation to express them healthily, led Connor to expressing shame in the forms of substance abuse, addictions, dysfunctional relationship dynamics and living out of his car.

Connor dives into his story and how he healed to where he is now — a supportive and committed father, husband and men’s training facilitator. He knew that if his life were to shift the first thing that needed to be looked at was himself.

Connor and I dive into…

How he shifted from addictions, troubled relationships, damaging self-talk

Healthy ways to pivotally express anger and how this can benefit everyone involved

How putting people on pedestals doesn’t allow for a genuine or sustainable connection

Transforming the “suppression equals strength” mentality

The importance of modeling a healed masculine to our children

116. Jason Pickard | Become an Infinite Player in Life and Embody the Abundant Archetype Jul 14, 2023

Show notes

Jason Pickard is a fellow ex-trader on Wall Street and, similar to my story, shifting from that identity was a tough transition for him—leaving him with “What’s left of me? What am I now?” Hear more of his story and how he radically transformed every aspect of his life on our previous episode together, Episode 97

Today, we catch up on his latest creation, The Abundance Archetype course—an 8 week course for the investor who wants to embrace overflowing abundance in every aspect of their life. This offering hits home with me because learning to love “Trader Cal” was a journey, a part of myself that I eventually would realize holds many gifts and much wiser than I previously thought him to be. With this course, Jason found a way to weave his genius of trading with the beauty of personal development.

Jason and I dive into...

What it means to be an infinite player in life

How his course teaches us to embody the abundant archetype

What helped him release 100+ pounds and revive his health physically, mentally, and spiritually

Ways to implement and integrate new concepts

Utilizing our different identities and versions of self, rather than shame and abandon them

Harnessing and respecting the laws of polarity allows us to move through life with more grace
