    Holistic Pet Wellness with Angela Ardolino

    Our pets are family, and their health deserves the same thoughtful, holistic approach we often seek for ourselves. In this episode of Building the Best You, Jeanne Collins sits down with holistic pet wellness expert Angela Ardolino to explore how nutrition, medicinal plants, mushrooms, and hemp can support long-term health for our furry companions. Angela shares her remarkable journey from entrepreneur to advocate for natural healing, explains the importance of homeostasis, discusses the growing role of the endocannabinoid system in overall wellness, and offers hope for pet owners facing seizures, dementia, chronic illness, and aging. Whether you're passionate about holistic health or simply want your pet to live a longer, healthier life, this conversation will inspire you to think differently about healing—for both animals and yourself.Angela's book recommendation: Mutant Message Down UnderMore about Angela:Angela Ardolino is a holistic pet-health clinician, formulator, educator, and advocate best known for developing hemp and functional mushroom animal wellness solutions that are safe, ethically sourced, and species-appropriate.​​ Wanting to show the efficacy of a mushroom and adaptogen solution for supporting dogs experiencing Canine Cognitive Disorder (CCD), Angela undertook leading The Senior Dog Study, a research initiative created to move beyond guesswork and measure whether a functional mushroom + adaptogen routine may support brain-related behaviors and quality of life in senior dogs. A sought-after speaker and media resource, Angela educates doctors, veterinarians, pet professionals, and families nationwide on cannabis medicine, functional mushrooms, adaptogens, and the endocannabinoid system in pets. She also hosts the podcast “Your Natural Dog with Angela Ardolino,” where she brings practical, actionable conversations about natural pet care to a wide audience.Then, for over a decade, she ran Fire Flake Farm, a rescue operation that provided care for hundreds of, mostly senior, dogs and other animals with complex needs. Those frontline years gave her a practical lens on what families face every day: aging-related decline, chronic pain, anxiety, seizures, and the frustration of “no options” conversations. That the issues she’d see in her many senior dogs were effectively treated with the nootropics and adaptogens of hemp and fungi show that these are often the missing piece for senior dog brain health.With more than 20 years in holistic animal care, Angela’s work sits at the intersection of clinical education, real-world application, and compassionate rescue. She is a graduate of the University of Vermont’s Larner College of Medicine professional certificate program in Cannabis Science and Medicine/Medical Cannabis for Therapeutic Use, and she is a member of the Society of Cannabis Clinicians—training and affiliations that inform her “do no harm” approach to formulation and education.angelaardolino.com@yournaturaldogpodcast🎓 Empowerment Fundamentals Course: Use Code PODCAST15 for a 15% discounthttps://members.houseofjermar.com/empowerment-course📖 Read Jeanne's Book: Two Feet In: Lessons From an All-In Lifehttps://a.co/d/7Hyrc8m🔗 Follow Jeanne!https://houseofjermar.comhttps://instagram.com/houseofjermar/https://youtube.com/@Houseofjermar

    Healing Chronic Illness Through Nervous System Regulation with Allie Chandler

This episode is a powerful reminder that healing is possible, hope matters, and sometimes your greatest challenge becomes the foundation for your life’s mission.Allie recommended two books during the episode:Can't Hurt Me by David GogginsThe Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der KolkMore about Allie:Allie Chandler is the founder of Upsell Health, where she helps functional medicine practitioners and wellness brands scale to $2-10M+ through marketing that feels as natural as the healing they provide. Her approach? Data-driven strategies delivered with heart, creating connections that convert without feeling salesy.Allie’s path into wellness marketing began in the most unexpected way. In 2013, while teaching high school creative writing, she took what was supposed to be a liberating trip to Europe. Instead, she found herself mysteriously ill in Amsterdam, beginning an eight-year journey through chronic Lyme disease, mold toxicity, and the frustrating world of “everything looks normal” test results. Those years of being bedbound, losing 35 pounds in two months, and navigating complex health protocols taught her exactly what patients are looking for—and how to help practitioners reach them.This personal experience, combined with her Master’s in Writing from California College of the Arts, gave her a unique perspective on wellness marketing. She understood both the science and the human story behind it.Today, through Upsell Health, Allie offers her Practitioner, Patient, and Brand Archetype Framework and done-for-you marketing services, helping healers build practices that thrive—without sacrificing their health or authenticity in the process.https://upsellhealth.com/Instagramhttps://instagram.com/upsellhealthLinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/upsell-healthFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/upsellhealthYouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@upsellhealthmarketingTikTokhttps://tiktok.com/@upsellhealthX (Twitter)https://x.com/upsellmarketingPinteresthttps://www.pinterest.com/upsellhealth/🎓 Empowerment Fundamentals Course: Use Code PODCAST15 for a 15% discounthttps://members.houseofjermar.com/empowerment-course📖 Read Jeanne's Book: Two Feet In: Lessons From an All-In Lifehttps://a.co/d/7Hyrc8m🔗 Follow Jeanne!https://houseofjermar.comhttps://instagram.com/houseofjermar/https://youtube.com/@Houseofjermar

    Manifest Your Best Year

    New year energy is loud, but clarity is quiet. We start 2026 by slowing down, reflecting with intention, and then layering a practical manifestation method that actually moves the needle. I’m sharing a full lesson from my Empowerment Fundamentals course—my gift to help you build the best version of you this year.We begin with reflection rituals: journaling last month and last year, mining your photos for forgotten wins, and translating insights into clear goals. From there, I walk through my four-step approach to manifesting—set the intention, embody your future self, take inspired action, and let go—with one key shift: embodiment comes before action. You’ll learn how breathwork steadies your system, how future-self journaling locks in the feeling of “already arrived,” and how reframing imposter thoughts opens bigger paths. I share how I acted as if, asked for signs, and made bold moves like crafting a TEDx talk and pursuing advanced ICF coaching credentials.We also talk about aligned pivots, vision boards, and the reality that manifestation is both adding and releasing. I share why I consciously stepped out of interior design to make space for coaching, courses, speaking, and deeper impact—and how trusting timing changed everything. You’ll leave with tangible homework to practice embodiment, plus simple prompts you can use today to anchor your intention for 2026.If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who’s ready for a reset, and leave a review so more people can find us.

    The Power of Sauna & Cold Plunge

    This week, we welcome Ginger Richardson, the founder of Kiin Sauna, for a deep dive into contrast therapy and the path that led her from interior design to a thriving wood-fired, mobile sauna brand at 52. Ginger shares how a simple ritual—eight to fifteen minutes of heat, a guided one to three minute plunge, and a mindful reset—can train your nervous system, boost cardiovascular health, sharpen focus, and leave you with that rare combination of clarity and ease.Ginger walks us through the full experience: cedar, glass, and metal for a clean, non-toxic environment; filtered water and organic essential oils; a curated playlist; and the quiet magic of community. We talk winter sessions in open air, why even standing outside between rounds delivers powerful contrast, and how breath coaching turns the cold from panic into presence. Along the way, Ginger debunks extremes and invites you to listen to your body—whether you start with 30 seconds, splash your face, or commit to the plunge.We also dig into infrared versus traditional heat. Infrared warms you from the inside out at lower temps and fits busy routines, while wood-fired sauna heats the air, creates a faster sweat, and offers a ritual many people crave—the scent of cedar, the glow of flame, the grounding of nature. Ginger shares practical buying advice, including clean materials and low EMF considerations, and a surprising tradition: wool sauna hats that protect your head and extend comfort time.Ginger opens up about boundaries, balance as a single mom, and the books that fueled her reinvention, including Broken Open by Elizabeth Lesser. If you’ve been curious about contrast therapy or you’re seeking motivation to start something new, this story and these tools will meet you where you are.More about Ginger:Ginger Richardson is the founder of Kiin Sauna, a mobile wood-burning sauna and cold plunge experience based in Fairfield, Connecticut. Born in Canada and having spent years living in the USA and Asia, Ginger carries a global perspective on wellness that blends cultural influences with the ancient Scandinavian tradition of sauna.As a divorced single mom, Ginger knows firsthand the power of resilience and doing hard things. Her own journey of reinvention inspired her to create Kiin Sauna, not just as a business, but as a way to foster connection, courage, and healing. www.kiinsauna.comIG: @kiinsauna🎓 Empowerment Fundamentals Course: Use Code PODCAST15 for a 15% discounthttps://members.houseofjermar.com/empowerment-course📖 Read Jeanne's Book: Two Feet In: Lessons From an All-In Lifehttps://a.co/d/7Hyrc8m🔗 Follow Jeanne!https://houseofjermar.comhttps://instagram.com/houseofjermar/https://youtube.com/@Houseofjermar

    Anne Fontaine: Empowering Women Through Fashion

    A new podcast name deserves a bold beginning. We launch Building the Best You with a rare, in-store conversation with fashion designer Anne Fontaine that links personal growth to intentional style. From a ten-year-old’s scissors reshaping a dull dress to a global brand anchored by the iconic white shirt, Anne shows how small, precise choices create big, lasting impact.We dive into her design process—quiet weeks of sketching on reused paper, themes that evolve into custom laces and prints, and the relentless pursuit of fit that makes women feel seen. Anne’s philosophy is generous: the compliments belong to you; the garment simply reveals your personality. She opens up about sourcing materials from heritage makers, like Italian leather artisans and Greek knit specialists, and why details—zippers that transform sleeves that showcase shirts, and collars that collect like art—turn clothing into tools for individual expression.We also tackle sustainability without shortcuts. Anne shares how the Anne Fontaine Foundation restores forests in Brazil and beyond, and how durability, quality, and responsible partnerships reduce waste while preserving beauty. Beyond the atelier, we talk about mother­hood, entrepreneurship, and balance, and we get hands-on with live looks: reversible jackets, sculpting knits, statement collars, and those surprisingly comfortable “Cinderella” heels that had the room buzzing.Be sure the check out Anne's latest styles at www.annefontaine.com.If you care about style as self-expression, craftsmanship with a conscience, and building a life you design on purpose, this conversation will meet you where you are and invite you forward.

    How to Heal from Within: Nervous System Healing and Holistic Wellness

    This week we sit down with Christine Ruch, a holistic transformation guide who’s navigated two decades of MS without pharmaceutical intervention, to explore how inner safety, emotional capacity, and co-regulation can reshape the body’s story. She pivoted from celebrated chef and restaurateur to transformation guide after a series of life changing pivots - intentional business closures, a divorce, and a year and a half in Costa Rica working closely with healers. That journey revealed that external protocols matter, but real change roots in the nervous system.We break down MS in plain language and examine why inflammation is only part of the picture. Christine explains the nervous system as a full‑body interface—felt through fascia, sensation, and energy—rather than a thought in the head. She shares how to build safety from within, stop turning emotions into identity, and use co-regulation and limbic resonance to return to your natural baseline. The difference between change and transformation becomes clear: change is linear and reversible; transformation follows the pace of nature. Her nine-month process mirrors gestation, allowing the body to lead while the mind learns to trust.You’ll get simple, field-tested practices: a quiet morning ritual that precedes screens, an evening pause to release the day, and five-minute micro resets for busy lives. We also talk seasons of life—why freedom and rootedness can both be true, and how to recognize when it’s time to pivot. If you’re navigating MS, chronic stress, or just the weight of modern life, this conversation offers grounded hope and practical steps to reclaim calm without perfectionism.Christine's Book recommendation: The Great Work of Your Life by Stephen CopeMore about Christine:Christine Ruch holds the space for you to walk your path to more authentic health. After spending 20 years healing her own MS naturally through whole food nutrition, nervous system restoration, spiritual practice, plant medicine, deep self-inquiry and many other Eastern and Western modalities, Christine now guides others on their own transformative healing path. Her work bridges science and soul—offering tools to move beyond symptom management and into lasting inner healing. She’s here to share insight, hope, and grounded practices for listeners ready to reclaim their health from the inside out.https://www.christineruch.com/https://www.instagram.com/christineruch.ms?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==🎓 Empowerment Fundamentals Course: Use Code PODCAST15 for a 15% discounthttps://members.houseofjermar.com/empowerment-course📖 Read Jeanne's Book: Two Feet In: Lessons From an All-In Lifehttps://a.co/d/7Hyrc8m🔗 Follow Jeanne!https://houseofjermar.comhttps://instagram.com/houseofjermar/https://youtube.com/@Houseofjermar

    Finding Hormone Health After 40: Why Finding the Right Doctor Matters

    This week we are talking about a subject that impacts all women: hormone health! Danielle Stanton joined the show to share how a decade of confusion surrounding her mental and physical health turned into clarity. Through symptom tracking, better labs, and a trusted doctor, she uncovered that she wasn't depressed, her hormones were low! From there, the story widens into practical steps any woman can use: a simple 90–10 approach to food, strength training as therapy, and a sleep ritual built on magnesium, lemon balm, and consistency.The conversation goes beyond HRT myths to the art of adjustment—why labs every six months matter, how switching from testosterone cream to injections reignited energy and muscle, and how gut health, sleep quality, and endocrine disruptors shape results. Danielle is candid about the long game: she set a five‑year horizon for weight loss, chose lifestyle over “quick fixes,” and learned to treat self‑care as part of the job, not a luxury. The payoff isn’t only physical; it’s mental clarity, stable mood, and a life that feels aligned.Then comes the purpose piece. Danielle and her RN husband have built Fuel 4 Ever, a clean‑label brand that invites middle and high school students into every step—flavor design, taste tests, packaging, and label rules. Kids pick winning flavors, and a portion of proceeds funds school projects like gardens, murals, and scholarships. It’s hands‑on access to entrepreneurship and nutrition that turns healthy snacking into pride and community impact.If you’ve ever felt dismissed, rushed, or overwhelmed by shifting symptoms, this episode offers a plan you can start today. Midlife isn’t the end of anything—it’s a redesign powered by data, patience, and purpose. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a review to help more women find the support they deserve.Danielle's book recommendation: "Outliers" by Malcolm GladwellMore about Danielle:About eleven years ago, I hit rock bottom. I was dealing with depression and anxiety after my divorce, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) that landed me in the hospital, sleep problems that led to a dependency on Ambien, thyroid issues, and unwanted weight gain. Doctor visits only led to more prescriptions, and I knew there had to be a better way.My journey toward holistic wellness, bioidentical hormones, and organic, farm-to-table living transformed not only my health but my life.As CEO of Fuel 4 Ever, I’m focused on creating products that make a real difference—supporting sleep, longevity, and healthy snacking. We’re committed to purpose-driven products that nourish your body while giving back to communities and helping people live better lives.Wellness is a way of life, not a quick fix. My mission is to help you find balance, longevity, and the kind of energy that makes you feel alive every day.https://www.fuel4ever.com/https://www.instagram.com/daniellenstanton/https://www.instagram.com/fuel4ever_/🎓 Empowerment Fundamentals Course: Use Code PODCAST15 for a 15% discounthttps://members.houseofjermar.com/empowerment-course📖 Read Jeanne's Book: Two Feet In: Lessons From an All-In Lifehttps://a.co/d/7Hyrc8m🔗 Follow Jeanne!https://houseofjermar.comhttps://instagram.com/houseofjermar/https://youtube.com/@Houseofjermar

    The 9 Enneagram Types Explained: A Framework for Personal Growth

    This week we dig into the Enneagram with coach and podcaster Jennifer Stanley to trace behavior back to core motivation, revealing how nine types, three centers of intelligence, and one core need organize the choices we make—often without noticing. That clarity opens a door: once you see the engine driving your habits, you can steer toward a life that feels aligned rather than reactive.Jennifer breaks down the differences between surface behavior and inner motive, showing how a room-reading Type Three and a power-protecting Type Eight can look similar from the outside but live from very different “whys.” We talk blind spots—like a Two’s pride in being needed or an Eight’s pull toward intensity—and how naming them turns autopilot into awareness. From there we get practical: why online tests can only narrow your type, how to spot your center of intelligence (head, heart, or gut), and simple questions that create space between urge and action.Midlife takes center stage as Jennifer shares Intermission, her cohort that blends deeper Enneagram work, retreat, purpose statements, and private coaching to help women co-author Act Two. We honor Act One for what it taught, make peace with changing relationships, and set boundaries that let us care for aging parents without losing ourselves. Wellness stays grounded in real life—seasonal, personal, and type-aware—whether that means CrossFit, yoga, long walks, or protecting unstructured weekends. If you’re craving a clearer map, kinder relationships, and a next chapter that fits, this conversation offers both language and tools to start now.Jennifer's Book Recommendation: “The Road Back to You" by Suzanne StabileMore about Jennifer:Jennifer Stanley is a life coach and Enneagram expert who helps people see the hidden patterns shaping their lives and relationships. Drawing on years of experience guiding teams and individuals, she brings fresh insights and practical tools that spark “aha” moments and lasting growth. Whether in private coaching, leading a workshop, cohort, or keynote, Jennifer weaves wisdom and story to inspire authentic leadership, connection, and change.

    Dermatology Trends 2025: Skin Microbiome, Immune Health, and the Future of Skincare

    Precision dermatology is rewriting the skin health playbook—and we dig into what that means for you. We sit down with Dr. Elle de Moll, a board-certified dermatologist and entrepreneur, to unpack why the skin is best understood as an immune organ, how biologics target disease without blanket suppression, and where wellness fits as research on the skin and gut microbiome accelerates. The conversation blends rigorous science with real life: female pattern hair loss in perimenopause, evidence-based treatments like spironolactone and low-dose oral minoxidil, and the emotional weight hair carries for identity and confidence.We go deep on sun safety and expect straight forward answers on SPF 30, UV index, mineral vs chemical filters, UPF clothing, vitamin D supplementation, and why prevention beats a future Mohs scar on your lip or nose. For parents, you’ll hear practical hacks to make sunscreen kid-friendly—think brush applicators, texture choices for eczema-prone skin, and knowing when low UV days let you relax the rules. We also clarify medical dermatology versus aesthetics, why access matters, and how to find a board-certified dermatologist through the American Academy of Dermatology or your insurance network.Finally, we talk entrepreneurship and motherhood: deciding to build a medical practice that prioritizes access and continuity, choosing what “glass balls” never drop, and letting the rubber ones bounce. The thread through it all is agency—choosing precision over perfection, asking for help, and making small, consistent choices that compound into healthier skin and a saner life.If this conversation helped you rethink your routine or your care plan, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend.

    The Ambition Trap: How to Stop Chasing and Start Living

    What if ambition isn’t the villain—just misunderstood? We sit down with Amina AlTai, author of The Ambition Trap, to rewire how we think about drive, success, and self-worth. Amina opens up about the health crisis that forced her to step off the treadmill, how core wounds like rejection or betrayal can fuel “painful ambition,” and the shift to a values-led practice that actually restores energy instead of draining it.Together, we draw a clear line between passion and purpose—one meant to change, the other a steadier constellation that guides choices over time. Amina introduces the Three E’s framework—Exceptional, Excellent, Eh—to help you spot your zone of genius, release the work your brain wasn’t built for, and design a role or business that compounds your best contribution. We also explore the “ambition penalty” facing women and marginalized leaders, why culture rewards the wrong signals, and what it looks like to build teams and careers that honor well-being and impact.The heart of our conversation pairs ambition with contentment, defined as unconditional wholeness—the knowledge of enough. Rather than dulling drive, contentment steadies it, letting you move through seasons of growth, rest, and renewal without burning out. Amina shares the messy realities of publishing, the power of integrity in promotion, and the moments of community that made the work feel alive. If you’re navigating career change, leadership growth, or entrepreneurship, this one delivers practical tools and a kinder map for sustainable success.Amina's Book recommendation: Amber Rae book LoveableMore about Amina:Amina AITai (pronounced AH-MIN-UH) is an executive coach and leadership trainer, proud immigrant and chronic illness advocate.

    Angel Numbers 101 with Numerology Expert Remington Donovan

    Ever notice how certain numbers won’t leave you alone? We sat down with author and teacher Remington Donovan to decode why patterns like 111, 333, and even the infamous 666 keep showing up—and how to turn those moments into practical steps forward. Remington grew up immersed in spiritual practice and later fused numerology, tarot, astrology, and mystical Qabalah into a grounded approach you can use today. Instead of cryptic jargon, he translates ancient correspondences into clear, actionable guidance that fits real life.We get specific. 111 carries the lightness of new beginnings and the trust of the Fool—permission to start. 333 lands with Saturn’s tone: finish what you’ve started, edit, resolve, ship. And 666? Not a curse, but a mirror for excellence with humility, a reminder to keep ego aligned with something larger. Along the way, we talk about why triple digits hit harder, how to read numbers the way you naturally say them, and when to stop forcing “signs” and simply act.If you’re curious, skeptical, or somewhere in between, this conversation gives you a practical way to work with the synchronicity of numbers often referred to as angel numbers.More about Remington:Remington Donovan is an author, esotericist and teacher trained in the spiritual wisdom of the ancients. He was quite literally born into the traditions of mysticism, spirituality and meditation, which naturally evolved into his now over 30 years of experience practicing with tarot and numerology. Along with performing thousands of private readings, Remington teaches and speaks all over the world. He hosts "The Mystical Artists" podcast with his wife, Jeana, and leads The Mystical Arts Mystery School. Remington Donovan is the author of Numerology - A Beginner's Guide to the Spiritual Meaning of Numbers and Prosperity Practices: Harnessing the Power of Positive Thinking to Get the Life You Want and Angel Numbers published by Penguin.

    Eating Lessons: Transform Your Body & Mind

    What if cravings were clues instead of failures? We sit down with personal trainer, nutritionist, and author Justine Bassani to decode what the body is really asking for—and how to answer without guilt or gimmicks. From growing up on a family garden to coaching patrons from behind a bar, Justine brings an uncommon blend of street-level practicality and deep nutritional insight that makes change feel doable.We start with water—how hydration quality shapes energy, skin, and digestion—and why moving away from microplastics and toward mineral-rich sources can make a daily difference. Then we explore the hopeful science of taste: your taste buds regenerate every two weeks, which means you can retrain your palate faster than you think. That unlocks mindful eating tactics that focus on awareness, not willpower, plus a simple “eat the rainbow” framework to cover crucial micronutrients without complicated tracking. Justine shares how cravings map to nutrient gaps, and offers swaps that satisfy the signal—from magnesium-rich options when chocolate calls to smarter approaches when pizza is the siren song. She also previews her Crave Well app, a craving-to-nutrients tool that turns “I want…” into better choices you can act on today.We also tackle alcohol with clear, kind realism: how it stalls fat burning for hours, disrupts sleep, and compounds cravings the next day. If quitting isn’t your next step, better timing and fermented options can help. Rounding things out, we demystify supplements and cooking fats—why spirulina, chlorella, and liquid chlorophyll can be more effective than a generic multivitamin; when to use avocado or grapeseed oil for heat; and why olive oil shines as a finishing touch.

    Why Women's Wellness Needs a Revolution with MyStart Health CEO

    Rethinking about your hard. What if the small hard thing you choose today could spare you from the bigger pain you fear most? This week, we sit down with entrepreneur-turned-wellness-builder Matt Stern to trace the arc from a 300 sq ft pool house to $300M+ in business outcomes—and why he pivoted to women’s health with a new mission grounded in family, freedom, and real results. The story moves fast: early startup lessons in growth, the power of purpose over pure hustle, and the moment he saw GLP‑1 meds not as shortcuts, but as lifelines that help people finally build sustainable habits.We go deep on the hormone health gap. Matt shares his wife’s frustrating journey to find a clinician who would listen, his mother’s preventable osteoporosis, and how decades-old fear has kept too many women suffering in perimenopause and menopause. We talk about what needs to change: access, evidence-based education, and personalization that meets each woman’s biology and goals. From brain fog and sleep to bone health and even female hair loss, the conversation connects dots that mainstream care often misses—and outlines how a for-women, by-women telehealth approach can center expertise and dignity.Along the way, we get tactical. A daily walk paired with a positive podcast. Breathwork that doubles as meditation and a nervous system reset. Consistency over intensity.  By the end, “choose your hard” sounds less like grit and more like self-respect—a way to make tomorrow lighter by taking a compassionate step today.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a boost, and leave a quick review so more people can find these tools. Your support helps us move closer to empowering one million women to live all in.Matt's book recommendation: Ego is the Enemy by Ryan HolidayMore about Matt:Matt Stern is more than just a growth marketing expert, he’s a self-made entrepreneur, father, and story-driven leader who went from being homeless to generating over $300M in collective business revenue. As the CEO of The Stern Group and MyStart Health, Matt has helped build and scale multiple brands, but his real mission lies in helping others balance business success with life’s deeper challenges.Whether he's discussing high-impact marketing, the raw truths of fatherhood and resilience, or how a single round of golf can reveal everything about a person, Matt brings authenticity, strategy, and lived experience to every conversation.https://thesterngroup.comhttps://www.mystarthealth.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/thesterngroup/posts/?feedView=allhttps://www.instagram.com/the_stern_group/🎓 Empowerment Fundamentals Course: Use Code PODCAST15 for a 15% discounthttps://members.houseofjermar.com/empowerment-course📖 Read Jeanne's Book: Two Feet In: Lessons From an All-In Lifehttps://a.co/d/7Hyrc8m🔗 Follow Jeanne!https://houseofjermar.comhttps://instagram.com/houseofjermar/https://youtube.com/@Houseofjermar

    The Divorce Glow Up: Retiring at 40 and Finding Freedom in Bali After Divorce

    What if the end of your marriage could become the beginning of your most authentic life? That's exactly what happened for Clover Lam, who transformed her devastating divorce into a complete life reinvention—retiring at 40, moving to Bali, and creating a business that helps other women navigate their own post-divorce journeys.Clover's story begins with a shocking moment of clarity. While living in Hong Kong with her husband, a voice inside whispered: "You don't love him, you're only here for security." Though she initially ignored this intuition, two months later her marriage ended anyway, leaving her emotionally shattered and questioning everything. Rather than staying stuck in victimhood, Clover embraced vulnerability and began the deep work of peeling back layers of societal conditioning to rediscover her authentic self.This radical self-examination led her to travel solo to 47 countries, discover financial independence, and ultimately retire from her 20-year flight attendant career to become a post-divorce wellness coach. One of the most powerful insights Clover shares challenges our cultural assumptions about women's happiness. Statistics reveal that never-married, child-free women are actually the happiest demographic group—contrary to societal narratives that tie women's worth to marriage and motherhood. This freedom from conventional expectations allows women to design lives that truly align with their authentic desires.Now living as a digital nomad in Bali, Clover embodies the transformation she teaches. She's surrounded by entrepreneurs and wellness practitioners who understand that inner wellness directly translates to outer success. Through her coaching practice and content creation, she's turning her pain into purpose, helping other women discover that divorce isn't the end of their story—it might just be the beginning of their most radiant chapter.Ready to transform your own heartbreak? Connect with Clover to learn about her upcoming Bali retreat and discover how your greatest pain might become your greatest purpose.Clover's Book Recommendation: Many Lives, Many Masters" by Dr. Brian WeissMore about Clover:Clover Lam is a post-divorce wellness coach, viral content creator, and the founder of The Divorce Glow-Up — a transformational method helping millennial, child-free women rebuild their lives from the inside out after heartbreak.Divorced at 30, retired early by 40, Clover turned her own healing journey into a powerful framework that fuses mindset reframe, emotional healing, and financial empowerment. She built a $500K+ net worth on a $60K salary, quit her 20-year career, and moved to Bali solo — not to escape life, but to fully claim it.Now, she guides women through a holistic 8-pillar process rooted in embodiment, identity, money, and self-worth — teaching them how to rewrite their story, reclaim their power, and glow from a place of authenticity.https://thedivorceglowup.comhttps://www.instagram.com/thedivorceglowup🎓 Empowerment Fundamentals Course: Use Code PODCAST15 for a 15% discounthttps://members.houseofjermar.com/empowerment-course📖 Read Jeanne's Book: Two Feet In: Lessons From an All-In Lifehttps://a.co/d/7Hyrc8m🔗 Follow Jeanne!https://houseofjermar.comhttps://instagram.com/houseofjermar/https://youtube.com/@Houseofjermar

    From Burn Your Shit to Big Deck Energy: Tarot Lori's Journey to Spiritual Entrepreneurship

    Discover how a deck of 78 cards holds the key to deeper self-awareness with this week's guest, Tarot Lori Dyan. She says the cards are not about fortune-telling; they are a mirror reflecting your inner wisdom back to you.Returning to the House of JerMar podcast, Lori brings her signature blend of grounded wisdom and playful insight as she unpacks the true power of tarot. "I always say a tarot reading, at least with me, is a conversation with your soul," she explains. "I'm the interpreter, but you can have this conversation yourself." This refreshing perspective strips away the mystical intimidation that often surrounds tarot practice.Lori's journey from communications director to full-time tarot reader wasn't immediate – it evolved over 35 years, beginning with lessons from a witch named Erica in Calgary, Alberta. The transformation accelerated after 50, when Lori finally decided to "plant her freak flag and let it fly." This courage led to a two-book deal with HarperCollins, with her latest release, "Big Deck Energy," demystifying tarot for modern readers.Beyond dispelling myths about "scary" cards like Death and the Devil (which actually represent transformation and limiting beliefs), Lori dives deep into tarot ethics. She explains why questions should focus inward rather than prying into others' energies, and why everyone has the intuitive ability to interpret cards for themselves. Her practice has expanded beyond individual readings to corporate events, women's retreats, and even strategic planning sessions with businesses.The episode culminates with Lori pulling the Star card for listeners – revealing it as one of the luckiest in the deck while offering profound wisdom about destiny, free will, and walking your own path. As she reminds us, "The magic is in you" – tarot simply helps us access what we already know deep within.Ready to start your own conversation with your soul? Grab Lori's book Big Deck Energy, follow her on Instagram @TarotLori, or simply pull a card and see what messages find you when you need them most.More about Lori Dyan:Lori Dyan is a 2X HarperCollins bestselling author, tarot expert, and ritual guide with 35+ years of experience inspiring audiences worldwide. Known for her signature blend of humor and insight, Lori has been featured in Vogue and at luxury events from Beverly Hills to Bali. Whether she’s captivating leaders at Google and Chanel or leading transformational retreats at Canyon Ranch, Lori creates unforgettable experiences that help guests release what no longer serves them—and step boldly into what’s next.Her bestselling debut, Burn Your Sh*t, cracked open the power of ritual. Her latest bestseller, Big Deck Energy, launched into the self-help top 10 alongside Mel Robbins and Glennon Doyle, bringing tarot into the mainstream.Mentored by a crystal-ball-gazing witch and deeply connected to her Indigenous lineage, Lori’s work weaves ancient wisdom with modern clarity to create uniquely empowering experiences.www.tarotlori.com🎓 Empowerment Fundamentals Course: Use Code PODCAST15 for a 15% discounthttps://members.houseofjermar.com/empowerment-course📖 Read Jeanne's Book: Two Feet In: Lessons From an All-In Lifehttps://a.co/d/7Hyrc8m🔗 Follow Jeanne!https://houseofjermar.comhttps://instagram.com/houseofjermar/https://youtube.com/@Houseofjermar

    What Is a Recovery Coach? Inside the Growing Wellness Movement

    In honor of September being National Recovery Month, we are exploring what exactly a recovery coach is, and why you might want one, even if you don't identify as having an addiction. In this illuminating conversation, Stephanie Hazard—a recovery coach with 25 years of personal sobriety—redefines our understanding of recovery support beyond traditional treatment models."A recovery coach is someone who has lived experience plus professional training, to support an individual who is either curious or struggling with substances," explains Stephanie. Whether you're questioning your relationship with alcohol, exploring sobriety, or maintaining long-term recovery, coaches serve as bridges to help you navigate from where you are to where you want to be. Unlike therapists or sponsors, recovery coaches work shoulder-to-shoulder with clients, providing structured support while developing personalized wellness strategies.The conversation delves into fascinating territory around changing societal attitudes toward alcohol. From the evolution of non-alcoholic beverage descriptions (from "non-alcoholic" to "spirit-free") to the World Health Organization's statement that no amount of alcohol is safe, we're witnessing a profound shift in how people approach substances. More individuals—particularly those in their 50s and 60s—are choosing alcohol-free lifestyles not because they identify as having problems, but for overall health and longevity.Perhaps most compelling is Stephanie's methodology for helping clients build both internal and external "recovery capital." Through practical tools like the Recovery Capital Scale, coaches help identify areas for growth while developing alternative coping mechanisms and celebration rituals. The goal isn't just symptom management but creating sustainable wellness across all life dimensions. As Stephanie poignantly shares, "My job as a coach is to put myself out of the job" by empowering clients with the skills and confidence to navigate life's challenges independently.Ready to explore your relationship with substances or enhance your wellness journey? This episode offers transformative insights whether you're in recovery, sober-curious, or simply interested in optimizing your health. Listen now and discover how recovery coaching might be the missing piece in your wellness puzzle.Stephanie's book recommendation: "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz.More about Stephanie:Stephanie Hazard is a sought-after recovery coach who works with individuals and families across the country. In recovery for twenty-five years, her experiential knowledge, expertise, and professional training empower her to help others achieve and sustain recovery and wellness. Stephanie launched her private coaching practice, A Path Toward Recovery in 2021, and co-founded Capstone Wellness Coaching which offers support services to young adults and adolescents. Her book about recovery coaching will be released next year and distributed by Simon and Schuster. https://www.pathtowardrecovery.comhttps://www.instagram.com/a_path_toward_recovery_/🎓 Empowerment Fundamentals Course: Use Code PODCAST15 for a 15% discounthttps://members.houseofjermar.com/empowerment-course📖 Read Jeanne's Book: Two Feet In: Lessons From an All-In Lifehttps://a.co/d/7Hyrc8m🔗 Follow Jeanne!https://houseofjermar.comhttps://instagram.com/houseofjermar/https://youtube.com/@Houseofjermar

    The Power of Elderberries: From Teacher to Wellness Entrepreneur

    When Jessica Lowry found herself facing financial struggles in 2018 with three young children and a husband battling health issues, she never imagined a simple kitchen experiment would transform her family's future. Desperate for a natural immune support remedy as cold and flu season approached, Jessica crafted her own elderberry syrup—a formula her children would actually enjoy. After sharing her creation on social media, something unexpected happened: friends began asking if they could purchase her homemade remedy.That moment of realization—that her kitchen creation could help others while supporting her family—felt like divine intervention. Jessica and her husband began making batches late into the night after tucking their children into bed, meeting customers in parking lots and playgrounds. What started as a simple solution to a personal challenge quickly blossomed into something much larger, as word spread about their pure, potent elderberry syrup.While Jessica knew elderberry was excellent for immune support, she was astonished to discover people experiencing relief from joint pain, inflammation, allergies, and sleep issues. The European black elderberry (Sambucus nigra), combined with organic ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and raw honey, was creating a synergistic effect that addressed multiple health concerns simultaneously. Unlike commercial alternatives loaded with additives, The Power of Elderberries products contain no preservatives, added sugars, or artificial ingredients—a commitment Jessica maintains despite opportunities to cut costs.Today, The Power of Elderberries offers both their signature refrigerated syrup and convenient "Elderberry Syrup Bites" for on-the-go wellness, with pet formulations coming soon.

    How to Build Confidence After Losing Everything

    What happens when you lose everything and have nowhere to go but up? Louise Colyer knows that journey intimately. In this profound conversation, Louise reveals how she transformed her life after simultaneously losing her family, home, businesses, and health.The turning point wasn't dramatic – it began with simply brushing her teeth after months of depression. This small act of self-care sparked a journey that would see Louise lose 52kg, reverse her eating disorders, and build a thriving coaching business helping others develop genuine confidence.Louise's approach to transformation is refreshingly honest and practical. Rather than focusing on external goals or validation, she guides clients to develop self-love and intuition about what truly makes them feel good. "I get people to literally love themselves and want to do it for themselves, not just for what they look like," she explains. Her holistic method examines spiritual journeys, exercise routines, nutrition, emotional intelligence, and thought patterns to create lasting change.What makes this episode particularly powerful is Louise's vulnerability about her own struggles.

Her insights on handling fear by questioning negative thoughts with evidence-based reality checks offer listeners practical tools they can apply immediately.Louise's story is living proof that transformation doesn't require dramatic interventions or perfect circumstances. It requires consistent small steps, self-compassion, and the courage to listen to your intuition even when it goes against the crowd. Whether you're facing your own rock bottom or simply wanting to build more authentic confidence, this conversation offers both inspiration and actionable wisdom for your journey.Louise's book recommendation: "You Are A Magnet" by Amber LyonsMore about Louise:Louise has a powerful passion for helping people regain their confidence and love for themselves—because she’s lived through the journey herself. After experiencing deep personal trauma and adversity, she rebuilt her life from the inside out.
