Hormesis: Stress That Makes You Stronger

Worth The Fight Podcast

Hormesis is the art of small, intentional stress that makes you stronger. Cold sharpens resilience. Sauna boosts heat-shock proteins and recovery. Exercise rebuilds the body upward. Breathwork trains nervous-system control. Fasting activates repair and renewal. Applied wisely, these stressors don’t break you—they forge antifragility, clarity, and energy.

The Courage to Unmask: Why Trust Requires Risk

Worth The Fight Podcast

In a culture marked by rising mistrust, vulnerability—when guided by discernment—is a superpower. As Brené Brown teaches, courage isn’t oversharing; it’s intentional openness. Many of our masks were built to survive childhood, but they now block connection. When we lower them wisely, trust forms—the foundation of powerful coaching, deep romance, and real transformation. Balanced vulnerability invites safety, alignment, and profound growth.

Follow My Substack for Psychedelic Wellness, Optimized Health & Prosperity Pathways

Worth The Fight Podcast

Ever wonder what your feed would feel like if it were built on real connection—not algorithmic manipulation? Yes, Substack has algorithms. But the incentive structure is different. It rewards depth, consistency, and thoughtful engagement—not outrage or dopamine hijacking. Lately, I’ve felt deeply aligned—settling into life after a family crucible, honoring my parents’ legacy of kindness, service, and romance. That energy flows into my Monday Substack, where I write about rewiring scarcity, optimizing holistic health, expanding service impact, and scaling business from a grounded...

The Energy Leaks Killing Your Next Day

Worth The Fight Podcast

Morning routines have become super buzzy in our culture, but a consistent PM ritual quietly determines your next day’s energy, focus, and resilience. Limiting blue light protects sleep quality. A short wind-down walk or sunset pause signals to your nervous system that the workday is complete. Clear tech boundaries matter—swap doomscrolling for something enriching and restorative: like journaling, reading, listening to podcasts or audiobooks. Mornings are for intentionality and evenings are for gratitude. Book an intro call: For more information:

AI: Revolutionary or Evolutionary?

Worth The Fight Podcast

Let’s indulge in a little AI humor with this one. We’re told it’s an existential threat—and yet it still struggles to draft an email :) Yes, a real wave of change is here (I’ve even seen the first driverless cars), but much of today’s narrative around AI is dangerous hype to garner more interest. The AI scaling laws have stalled; this feels more like a souped-up Camry than a Ferrari. They are losing billions, and the economic viability is in question. Dr. Cal Newport from The Deep Questions Podcast and Georgetown’s Center for Digital Ethics has a sane, grounded, and...

A Client Journey: Microdosing, Clarity, and Resilience

Worth The Fight Podcast

In this episode, I share a powerful client testimonial from Chris, who reflects on his Magic n’ Microdosing journey during a major life-changing moment. Through intentional microdosing, nervous-system regulation, and simple daily practices, Chris experienced a noticeable lift in mood, clarity, and focus—allowing him to redirect energy back into himself when it mattered most. His story speaks to grounded healing, real integration, and what’s possible when inner work meets courage. “The microdosing and all these practices we started implementing really started working and lifting my...

Start Before Ready

Worth The Fight Podcast

Perfectionism is a clever delay tactic. We don’t learn by thinking—we learn 1,000× faster in motion. Start before you feel ready. Take the next actionable step: a ten-minute tidy, a rough draft, a first rep. Action collapses overthinking and unlocks the creative process. Beware the predictable traps—endless researching, reading, and preparing. You don’t need mastery to serve; you only need to be a few steps ahead. Start now.

Our Unspoken Words Make Us Sick + Art of Discernment

Worth The Fight Podcast

Unspoken words don’t disappear—they calcify as low-vibration thought energy that quietly taxes the nervous system and the body. The art of discernment is knowing when and with whom to speak your truth—hold the gold when needed, but don’t fawn, freeze, or self-abandon; even naming truth in a journal begins the physiological repair.

Why This Time Will Be Different: Rewiring Scarcity Into Abundance

Worth The Fight Podcast

In the same way Johns Hopkins University is rewiring dis-ease into wellness in psychedelic clinical trials, I believe we can rewire scarcity into abundance. This is the third wave. We’ve been here before and can learn from yesteryears misteps. In 2026, there has never been more psychedelic science, ever. We have a much stronger cultural container, and I believe we can steer this wisely. So much to be hopeful for as psychedelia continues to enter the mainstream.
