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

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/
