Beating the Odds: One Man’s Journey to a Symptom-Free Life After Parkinson’s This week on the show, we’re joined by Scott Hanley, a man whose Parkinson’s diagnosis became a powerful catalyst for change. At 51, Scott was told his future would be a slow decline - but he chose a different path.

We dive into the logic and science behind his training, the mental rewiring that took place along the way, and how he reshaped deeply ingrained habits. With warmth, honesty, and a sharp sense of humour, Scott shares what it really means to choose hope over fear, and how movement, mindset, and meaning can transform our health, whatever the challenge.

Success on Your Terms: Healing Burnout, Tuning In, and Trusting Yourself-Gaia Ferreira In this episode, we sit down with Gaia Ferreira to hear the refreshingly honest story of how she walked away from corporate success, followed a lifelong pull toward creativity, and found her calling helping entrepreneurs who feel stuck at the top. Gaia blends her background in business, creativity, and psychology to help people cut through the noise, reconnect with their intuition, and redefine what success really means to them. We dive into the subconscious mind, the stories we inherit (and unconsciously repeat), and how silencing the noise of the outside world can help us hear the voice that truly matters - our own. Gaia shares personal insights and practical tools for navigating fear, embracing presence, and changing the stories that we tell ourselves. This conversation provides an honest and insightful look at what happens when we stop performing for the world around us and start making choices that actually feel good for us. This episode will leave you feeling grounded, inspired, and ready to reclaim your own version of success.
