The Power of Prioritizing Your Health: Whitney Prude's Whole Health Transformation Program
Whitney Prude is a highly skilled and dedicated board-certified clinical pharmacist with a doctorate in pharmacy from Roseman University of Health and Sciences. She is also a certified wellness authority, holding certifications as a Mayo Clinic Certified Wellness Coach and a nationally certified Health and Wellness Coach. Whitney is currently an inpatient clinical pharmacist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and the CEO of Whole and Happy Living, a company she founded to promote health and wellness through coaching, education, and medication review. Whitney Prude shares her story of hope, starting from her teenage years when her parents went through a devastating divorce. She explains how she buried her emotions and focused on becoming a pharmacist, only to realize later that she wasn't as okay as she thought. Whitney opens up about her struggles with physical health, including chronic pain and autoimmune diseases, and how she decided to transform her pain into something that could benefit others. She discusses the importance of addressing mental and emotional wellness alongside physical health and highlights the need to get to the root cause of health issues rather than relying on quick fixes. Whitney also provides an overview of her Whole Health Transformation Program, which focuses on mental and emotional well-being, nutrition education, and customized plans for each individual. Key Takeaways: Life doesn't always turn out as expected, and challenges can arise unexpectedly. Mental and emotional well-being are just as important as physical health in achieving overall wellness. Quick fixes and medications may have their place, but addressing the root cause of health issues is crucial for long-term success. The Whole Health Transformation Program emphasizes personalized nutrition education, mindful eating, and healing the body to achieve sustainable weight loss and overall health. "Let's get to the root cause. Yes, there's a place for medications, and sometimes they're necessary, sometimes they're absolutely essential."

Unlocking Your Optimal Life with Kari Schwear: Mastering Gray Areas with Kari Schwear
"Listen to that inner voice, that inner guiding system within you because it's already speaking to you and telling you what you need to know." Carrie Schwear shares her personal journey of overcoming gray area drinking and how it led her to create Gray Tonic and the Question the Drink movement. She emphasizes the importance of listening to your inner voice and paying attention to the signs that something in your life needs to change. Carrie also discusses the concept of gray area drinking, which refers to the space between social drinking and severe alcohol abuse. She explains that up to 50% of the population falls into this gray area and may benefit from examining their relationship with alcohol. Carrie's coaching focuses on helping business leaders optimize their lives and navigate the gray areas in various aspects, including career, relationships, and self-identity. Kari Schwear is an Executive Lifestyle Gray Area Coach specializing in the many gray areas we have in our lives. Her zone of genius is in habit creation, communication, intentional living and leadership development. As a former gray area drinker, Kari founded GrayTonic & the Question the Drink movement in 2018 after her own experience of “living in the gray” led her to the service of others. She offers bespoke coaching for business leaders seeking wellness, peak performance, and thriving relationships without alcohol. Kari has also co-authored two books, The Successful Mind, along with her second book, Limitless, a WSJ #1 Bestseller. Key Takeaways: Gray area drinking refers to the space between social drinking and severe alcohol abuse, and it is estimated that up to 50% of the population falls into this category. Listening to your inner voice and paying attention to the signs that something in your life needs to change is crucial for personal growth and transformation. Alcohol consumption is often used as a coping mechanism to escape negative feelings and emotions, but it is important to address the underlying beliefs and thought patterns that contribute to these feelings. The Decide Model of Change, which stands for Desire, Explore, Commit, Identity, Daily Habits, and Effort, can be a helpful framework for making lasting changes and achieving personal goals. It is essential to differentiate between being reactionary and responding to situations. Responding with curiosity and reflection can lead to better outcomes and improved relationships. She reveals how her coaching can help leaders achieve wellness, peak performance, and thriving relationships without relying on alcohol. Embracing an Optimal Life Kari paints a vivid picture of what it means to embrace an optimal life, considering her extensive experience in guiding others towards it. Listeners will gain valuable insights into creating habits, fostering intentional living, and developing effective leadership skills.

The Rhythms of Rachel Fleischman: From Self-Judgment to Self-Love
Meet Rachel Fleischman – a licensed social worker, psychotherapist, registered expressive arts therapist, workshop facilitator, and speaker who, over the last two decades has supported thousands of humans to deepen their creativity, feel understood, and love themselves fiercely. Through her private practice, Bliss Counseling, and a unique movement system she developed called Dance Your Bliss, Rachel works with individuals and couples and has expertise in crisis management, trust, body image, premarital and marital issues, sex therapy, depression, anxiety, life transition, and panic disorder, to name a few. Rachel’s love for supporting others began at a young age in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she grew up experiencing complex trauma and learned about resilience and self-reliance as she raised herself. She found reprieve through dance classes and put herself through college and graduate school, where she also taught aerobics (which she thoroughly enjoyed). At the age of 24, Rachel took care of her dying father by teaching him exercises, which sparked the ideas surrounding the Dance Your Bliss classes and programs that she would later go on to develop. “As a young person, I often found myself being called upon to help others who were having difficulty coping with life situations. I had this ability to really “get” them and wanted desperately to learn more about how we process emotions, deal with adversity, and thrive,” says Fleischman. “During my 23 years practicing, I’ve trained with Esther Perel, the Gottmans and many other clinicians. I have studied Couples Counseling, sex therapy, CBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I refuse to stop learning – my clients mean the world to me!” Fleischman is currently developing new e-books and coursework surrounding perimenopause and menopause, and working with individual clients. She can regularly be found leading international workshops and programs at conferences, corporate retreats, and wellness centers such as the Esalen Institute, the Omega Institute’s Women and Courage Conference, Canyon Ranch, the Naropa Institute’s Hakomi Conference, the Hollyhock Retreat Center, UCSF Women's Health, Rancho La Puerta Spa, and the International Dance Therapy Conference. Her sought-after mental health expertise has been featured on numerous podcasts and in magazines such as Verywell Mind, Best Life, Psychology Today and Elephant Journal. Rachel also aims to give back to her local community by volunteering at the San Francisco Public Libraries and leads a variety of pro-bono movement activities at organizations such as the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. In her spare time Fleischman enjoys crafting and spending time in nature with her husband in and around San Francisco, California, where she currently resides. Join us in this heartfelt episode as Rachel opens up about her personal journey and the origins of her deep passion for serving others.
