Casting The Net - Reeling In Holistic Health - Mondays With Coach Rice

There are some conversations that remind me why I started Casting the Net—and my conversation with Savio P. Clemente is one of them.Savio is a keynote and TEDx speaker, journalist, board-certified wellness coach, bestselling author, healthcare leadership strategist, and two-time cancer survivor.In this episode, I sit down with Savio for a powerful conversation about what happens when life disrupts everything you thought you knew.After being diagnosed with Stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2014, Savio underwent aggressive chemotherapy and eventually received the news that he was in remission. But ten years later, cancer returned.His second journey required intensive treatment, a stem-cell transplant, nearly a month in the hospital, and a recovery process that Savio describes as a medical rebirth.But what captured me most wasn’t simply that he survived twice.It was what survival taught him about clarity, identity, boundaries, resilience, leadership, and purpose.We talk about learning to say “no” without feeling obligated to explain yourself, conserving your energy, finding stillness in the middle of uncertainty, and discovering how to move forward when the crisis is technically over—but you are no longer the person you were before it happened.Savio shares a statement that stayed with me:“Performance doesn’t fail first. Clarity does.”That message reaches far beyond cancer.Whether your crisis has been illness, divorce, job loss, business failure, grief, burnout, or another unexpected disruption, there comes a point when surviving is no longer the only question.The question becomes: How will I live now?This conversation is about finding the clarity and courage to answer that question.Connect with Savio P.

What if the greatest obstacle to lasting love isn't finding the right person—but learning the skills no one ever taught us?In this week's episode of Casting the Net: Reeling in Holistic Health, I sit down with licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, relationship coach, and educator Stephanie Wise to explore The Missing Skills Behind Lasting Love.Together, we unpack why healthy relationships are built—not found. We discuss how communication, emotional regulation, self-awareness, and intentional connection shape every relationship we have. Stephanie shares practical wisdom on recognizing unhealthy patterns, breaking destructive cycles, slowing down before reacting, and learning how to truly turn toward your partner instead of away from them.We also explore why love is more than a feeling—it's a daily practice that requires intentional effort, grace, and a willingness to grow together.Whether you're single, dating, engaged, married, or simply striving for healthier relationships, this conversation will challenge you to develop the skills that create deeper connection and lasting love.Remember, great relationships aren't built by luck. They're built one intentional choice at a time.Connect with Stephanie Wisehttps://www.officialstephwise.com/

Every once in a while, I have a conversation that reminds me why creating safe spaces for healing is so important. This episode is one of those conversations.I sit down with Ronald Roseboro, founder of Shame Free Life Coaching & Consulting, certified trauma-informed coach, author, and creator of The Brick Method and the Samson Restored Movement. Ronald openly shares his remarkable journey from incarceration to purpose, revealing how God transformed his pain into a mission to help men heal from trauma, shame, broken identity, and emotional wounds.Together, we explore why so many men struggle to express their emotions, how unresolved childhood trauma often shapes adulthood, the importance of creating emotionally safe relationships, and why healing—not hiding—is the pathway to becoming stronger husbands, fathers, leaders, and men of purpose.If you've ever wondered what men carry in silence or how we can better support the healing journey of the men in our lives, this conversation offers powerful insight, hope, and practical wisdom. This is more than a conversation about men's mental health—it is an invitation to restoration.Connect with Ronald Roseborohttps://www.theshamefreelife.com/

As your host, I believe that growing older should never mean giving up on living well. In this powerful conversation, I sit down with certified Health and Nutrition Coach Michael Dorfman, who at 84 years old is living proof that vitality has no expiration date.Together, we explore what it really means to age with purpose instead of fear. Michael shares his remarkable journey from becoming vegetarian to embracing a plant-powered lifestyle, the lessons he's learned from studying the world's Blue Zones, and why movement, community, purpose, and daily habits matter just as much as the food we eat.What impacted me most was hearing someone who isn't simply teaching longevity—he's living it every single day. This conversation reminded me that our health is not determined by age alone. It's shaped by the choices we make, the mindset we cultivate, and the responsibility we take for caring for the body God has entrusted to us.Whether you're in your 30s, 50s, or 80s, this episode will challenge the way you think about aging and inspire you to begin making small changes today that can transform your tomorrow.Connect With Michael Dorfman:https://longevitywellnessrevolution.com/https://longevitywellnessrevolution.com/guidebook/

As your host, I believe some of the bravest moments in life happen when we choose healing over hiding. In this deeply moving episode of Casting the Net: Reeling in Holistic Health, I sit down with retired counselor, educator, and author Linda Feig Knipe to discuss her powerful memoir, Braving Therapy.Linda courageously shares her journey through sexual assault, PTSD, depression, and the long road toward healing. Together, we explore why unresolved trauma doesn't simply disappear—it waits to be acknowledged. We discuss how shame keeps people silent, why therapy often feels harder before it feels better, and how true healing begins when we allow ourselves to be seen, heard, and supported.This conversation is a reminder that therapy isn't a sign of weakness—it's an act of extraordinary courage. If you've ever struggled with painful memories, hidden shame, anxiety, or wondered whether healing is possible, I hope this episode reminds you that freedom is available. You don't have to carry your pain alone.Healing begins the moment we stop surviving in silence and start telling the truth.Connect to Linda Feig Knipe:https://lfeigknipe.com/

As your host, I had the privilege of sitting down with author, speaker, entrepreneur, and co-founder of J3 Publishers, Jobi Jones, for one of the most heartfelt conversations I've had about the power of storytelling.Throughout our conversation, we explored why every person's story matters, how our life experiences shape our purpose, and why God can use even our greatest struggles to impact someone else's life.Jobi shared her incredible journey from believing she wasn't a writer to becoming an author, publisher, and mentor who now helps others bring their God-given stories to life. We also had an honest discussion about the role of artificial intelligence in writing and why nothing can replace the authenticity, wisdom, creativity, and heart that God has placed inside each of us.If you've ever wondered whether your story is important enough to tell, struggled with rejection, questioned your purpose, or dreamed of writing a book, this episode will encourage you to stop hiding your voice and start embracing the story God entrusted to you.I truly believe you'll walk away inspired, empowered, and reminded that your testimony may be the very thing someone else needs to hear.Your story isn't ordinary.Your story is your legacy.Contact Jobi Joneshttps://j3publishers.com/https://www.facebook.com/share/g/17XmJmBcAD/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://a.co/d/069PwEK9https://open.spotify.com/show/3HqRGzFIZAqdfcEqvZy4Xc?si=lhVgegv5Se2e7wLx1FAa6w

On this episode of Casting the Net: Reeling in Holistic Health, I have the privilege of sitting down with Army veteran, author, nonprofit founder, and PTSD Life Coach Simone Swartz for a courageous conversation about trauma, healing, and hope.Simone shares her deeply personal journey through military sexual trauma, years of living with undiagnosed PTSD, and the moment she decided that silence would no longer define her future. Her story is a powerful reminder that while trauma may shape part of our story, it doesn't have to write the ending.Together, we discuss what PTSD really looks like beyond combat, why so many survivors suffer in silence, and the practical steps that helped Simone reclaim her life. From the importance of therapy and life coaching to exercise, service dogs, accountability, and finding purpose after pain, this conversation offers both compassion and practical hope.If you've ever wondered whether healing is truly possible after trauma—or if you know someone carrying invisible wounds—I invite you to join us. My hope is that this conversation reminds you that your voice matters, your healing matters, and your story still has purpose.Sometimes the greatest cost is remaining silent. Sometimes the greatest breakthrough begins when we choose to speak.

Are you exhausted from constantly doing, serving, producing, and performing?In this powerful episode of Casting the Net, I sit down with author, Bible teacher, and speaker Katie M. Reid for an honest conversation about burnout, boundaries, obedience, and finding our identity in Christ beyond performance. Together, we explore how easily we can become consumed with doing good things while neglecting the rest, margin, and grace God designed for us to experience.Katie shares her personal journey through burnout, the difficult decisions that required her to step away from meaningful ministry assignments, and the lessons God taught her about capacity, surrender, and trust. We discuss the warning signs of burnout, the importance of listening to our bodies, learning to ask for help, and recognizing that our value is not tied to our productivity.This conversation is a reminder that God never intended for us to earn His love through performance.

On this episode of Casting the Net: Reeling in Holistic Health for Mind, Body, and Spirit, I had the privilege of sitting down with Amy Lenius, Director of Group Coaching at Next Level University, to explore one of the most overlooked foundations of success—what we believe about ourselves. Together, we unpacked the powerful connection between self-belief, self-worth, and consistency and how these three pillars influence every area of our lives, from our relationships and health to our careers and personal growth.Amy shared her personal journey through chronic illness, the importance of community, and how resilience is built through both the highs and lows of life. We discussed why self-belief helps us take action, why self-worth determines what we believe we deserve, and why consistency is the bridge that moves us toward lasting transformation.One of my favorite takeaways from our conversation was the reminder that comparison should be used for inspiration, not self-condemnation. Amy also challenged us to develop greater self-awareness, ask deeper questions about our habits and choices, and become curious about who we are becoming. If you've ever struggled with confidence, boundaries, people-pleasing, motivation, or staying consistent, this episode is filled with practical wisdom that can help you move forward with greater clarity and purpose.Connect with Amy Leniushttps://www.nextleveluniverse.com/group-coaching/

What happens when motivation fades? In this powerful episode of Casting the Net, I sit down with clinical psychologist Dr. Matt Campbell to unpack why so many people struggle with consistency, burnout, and maintaining healthy habits long-term. Together, we explore the truth that transformation is not built on fleeting motivation, but on intentional structure, meaningful connection, and sustainable self-care.Dr. Campbell shares his insightful “Primal Five” framework centered around sleep, sunlight, movement, social connection, and mindful consumption, and we dive deep into how modern life has disconnected us from many of the basic things our minds and bodies truly need to thrive.Throughout our conversation, we discuss the reality of change, the discomfort that often comes with growth, and why giving ourselves grace during the process matters more than perfection. We also talk about the impact of screens, social media, loneliness, and overstimulation on our emotional and physical well-being, while offering practical steps listeners can begin implementing immediately.This episode is a reminder that healthy living is not about doing everything perfectly. It is about creating structure, reducing self-sabotage, and learning to move forward one intentional step at a time. If you have ever struggled with staying consistent, feeling depleted, or trying to create lasting change, this conversation will encourage and equip you.Connect with Dr, Matthew Campbellhttps://www.ourprimal5.com/

In this deeply heartfelt episode of Casting the Net, I sit down with Dr. Jeffrey Bone — chronic illness coach, author, and podcast host — to have an honest conversation about navigating life when chronic pain and illness completely change your story.Dr. Bone vulnerably shares his personal journey from helping others through chronic illness to suddenly facing his own devastating health crisis after toxic mold exposure impacted his immune system and transformed every area of his life. Together, we explore the emotional weight of chronic illness, the grief of losing the life you once knew, and the challenge of rebuilding your identity when your body no longer cooperates the way it once did.This conversation goes beyond physical pain. We discuss the hidden mental health struggles that often accompany chronic illness — feeling unseen, unheard, misunderstood, anxious, and emotionally exhausted — while also discovering how purpose, creativity, self-compassion, faith, and service can become anchors during life’s hardest seasons.Dr. Bone beautifully explains how healing is not always about “going back” to who you were, but learning how to grieve, adapt, and rediscover meaning in the present moment. Through poetry, journaling, coaching, and authentic human connection, he demonstrates that even in brokenness, there is still purpose, beauty, and hope.If you or someone you love is dealing with chronic pain, invisible illness, emotional burnout, or life-altering health challenges, this episode will remind you that your story is not over — and there is still purpose to be found, even in the pain.Connect with Dr. Jeffrey Bonehttps://www.drbone.live/

This week on Casting the Net, I sit down with author, life coach, and brand strategist Don Suttajit for a deeply transformational conversation about identity, emotional clutter, and the connection between our internal world and external environment. Together, we explore how our homes, habits, routines, and even the things we hold onto can reveal the beliefs we carry about ourselves. Don shares his powerful personal journey of struggling with identity, depression, performance, and external validation before discovering the importance of living authentically and freely. We discuss how clutter is often more than “stuff” — it can represent emotional wounds, old identities, unresolved beliefs, fear, grief, and disconnection from who God created us to be. One of the most powerful moments of our conversation was discussing how identity creates boundaries and how routines, discipline, and systems are not punishment — they are pathways that help align our lives with purpose, peace, and freedom. If you’ve ever struggled with feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, emotionally cluttered, or unsure of who you truly are beneath the roles you play, this episode will challenge and encourage you.Connect with Don https://www.donsuttajit.com/

On this episode of Casting the Net, I had the opportunity to sit down with Ryan Reichert for a deeply honest and transformative conversation about faith, recovery, identity, purpose, and what it truly means to heal.Ryan opened up about his journey through military leadership, addiction, divorce, loss, and rebuilding his life after everything he once identified with fell apart. What impacted me most was hearing how God used some of his hardest seasons to refine him rather than destroy him. We talked about the difference between being “nice” and truly being kind, the importance of meaningful conversations, emotional healing, accountability, and how transformation begins when we stop chasing titles and start pursuing purpose.One of the most powerful moments for me was hearing Ryan explain his FOCUS framework: Faith, Opportunity, Consistency, Unconditional Kindness, and Standard. His testimony is a reminder that even in seasons of loss, pain, loneliness, and uncertainty, God can still rebuild, restore, and reposition your life for something greater.This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or afraid to begin again. Healing is possible, purpose still exists, and your story is not over.Connect with Ryan Reicherthttps://ourprotectordevelopment.com/

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with eatingdisorder specialist and dietitian Jessica Setnick to unpack something deeperthan food itself—your relationship with it.As we talked, it became clear that this isn’t just aboutwhat we eat… it’s about what we believe, what we’ve experienced, and what we’vecarried—sometimes since childhood. I realized that so many of us aren’t struggling with “foodproblems”, we’re navigating emotional patterns, inherited habits, and internalnarratives that have quietly shaped how we eat, cope, and even judge ourselves.We dive into what it really means to “heal your innereater,” and why labeling yourself—like calling yourself an emotional eater—cansometimes keep you stuck instead of set free.Jessica shares eye-opening insights on how childhoodexperiences, shame, and even generational patterns influence our eatingbehaviors, and she gives practical tools—like learning the difference betweenphysical hunger and emotional triggers—that can shift everything.One of the biggest takeaways for me?How you feel after you eat is often how you felt before you ate… and that rightthere changes the conversation. This episode isn’t about restriction—it’s about awareness.It’s about reconnecting with yourself, releasing shame, and creating a healthier, more honest relationship with food and your body.

On this episode of Casting the Net, I had the opportunity to sit down with Alan Lazaros, business coach and CEO of the Next Level University Podcast—a daily podcast with over 2,300 episodes dedicated to personal growth and self-improvement.Alan shared his powerful story—from losing his father at a young age, to rising as a global 1% earner in his twenties, to a life-altering car accident at 26 that became his wake-up call. That moment forced him to ask a deeper question: What does real success actually look like?What stood out to me most was his breakdown of the compound effect. He explained how improving just 0.1% per day—consistently—can radically transform your life over time. It’s not about overnight success. It’s about daily discipline. Small shifts. Long-term vision.We also talked about:Reverse engineering your dreams into daily action stepsWhy most people “wing it” instead of tracking clear goalsThe difference between working to rest… and resting so you can workProtecting your goals when you’re in the minority of growth-minded peopleAlan’s biggest takeaway? Protect your goals and dreams. If you’re serious about growth, you may feel alone—but stay committed anyway.This conversation challenged me—and I believe it will challenge you too.Connect with Alan Lazaros:https://www.youtube.com/@NextLevelUniversityhttps://www.nextleveluniverse.com/
