Ever watched something on the news and felt a pull to move mountains in an effort to help those being broadcasted? Me too!

And so today, he shares the mission behind the creation of a news channel whose sole purpose is to provide a platform for anyone in the world to support those in need of help.

Radical Self Podcast

Being the first class of the year, I thought it'd be great to set an intention in the form of a colour for the next few months. In today's practice, we'll be moving into our heart. Really slowing things down to set the intention for our actions. Asking yourself, what do I want to feel and how can I cultivate this feeling more often? As we move in and out through our flow, be mindful of each movement. Really listen to the positioning of your body. If you'd like a visual, I'll be uploading a downloadable pdf really soon for you - or keep in touch on and for a LIVE class. Put your heart into...

Radical Self Podcast

You know those days when you feel a little low but have no idea why? Maybe you woke up that way, had a dream about a loved one, or possibly even just the weather triggered some built up emotion you didn’t realize you hadn’t dealt with.

Radical Self Podcast

Finding the power to be confident in her own skin and pursuing answers to questions that were never supposed to be asked is something worth celebrating. Specially when going with the flow just never felt genuine to her. Today’s guest is Kayla Goldstein, an interior designer who had given up on her life after giving birth to her second child. With a lot of resentment for the life that was laid out for her she decided to start giving voice to her questions around the religion she was born into and from there a lot of things changed - including the relationship with her husband.

Radical Self Podcast

How much of an opportunity is an actual opportunity when faced with one? I know, I just said a whole lot of things there. Let me explain. Ever felt the need to take an opportunity simply because it's been presented to you? Even when it has nothing to do with your desire to flex your strengths or work on a weakness you want to focus on? In this Mindset Realign episode I go into a short experience where, my choice pushed me away from representing what I value and like to stand for. You'll also hear my one question I ask myself NOW when presented with an opportunity - it goes into...

When making positive changes in your life, do you usually choose the option that's more familiar with less risk or one that could potentially make you unpopular among your support system?

Megan, thankfully, chose the latter without becoming unpopular with her friends and family but the choice of doing it anyway should that have been the case is what drew me to her.

Having a glass of wine or going out for "drinks" is something so widely popular that we don't really think much about it yet it does affect not only our health but our relationships - especially when going about it too often.

Don't get me wrong, I personally enjoy my glass of rosé or a brunch mimosa but Megan knew she had taken it a bit too far.

In this episode, you'll hear:
• how she was considered a party girl and the one comment that made her think twice about her options
• the first improvements she noticed after giving up alcohol
• why she's chosen to document her journey publicly
• what she chooses to do instead of pouring herself a glass of wine after a long day
• how fitness and her time at the gym keeps her momentum going
