In My Non-Expert Opinion – Détails, épisodes et analyse

If you've ever bulldozed through your day on black coffee and determination, ignoring every signal your body sends until you're bent over crippling in a parking garage (literally, in Shantani's case) — this episode is your wake-up call. Chelsea chats with Body Intelligence Coach Shantani Moore about where we learned to ignore our body, why "fine" is the enemy of extraordinary, and how capitalism trained us to ask permission to pee (WTF).

Episode themes:

• Body intelligence vs. wellness overwhelm — Moving from tracking every metric to asking "what does my body actually need?"
• The utility principle — Training your body for life, not likes (and how Earth is your gym!!)
• Environment as everything — Why your nervous system picks up 11 million bits of information per second and why black-box gyms feel like a sad mess of Armani Exchange and broken dreams
• Sleep as non-negotiable — The two-hour cortisol spike rule that changes everything
• Decolonizing wellness — How to interrupt capitalist programming one habit stack at a time
• The "so I can what?" framework — The question that separates aligned action from performative productivity

Final reminder: Your body wasn't made for other people to look at — it was made for you to live an extraordinary life. Shantani reminds us that listening to your body isn't luxury, it's leadership.

The next stop on the sabbatical train: PUERTO RICOOOO!

Chelsea takes us along for the ride through the island: 

• family reunions the size of small weddings
• the beauty and chaos of island time
• the night that led to one violent hangover (!!)
• releasing the grip on making plans for the fam
• the surprising ways reconnecting with her Latina roots shifted how she wants to show up in life and business (yes, that means big gold hoops are coming back)
• feeling the Puerto Rican Pride between the Bad Bunny concert kickoff and watching a Latino couple win Love Island while in PR

Other snippets:

• Why the sabbatical is likely extending for one more month
• Island time lessons and releasing control
• Sobriety slip-ups, and why self-awareness matters more than perfection
• Cultural permission to be “too much” 
• Balancing group travel chaos with non-negotiable hermit time
• Some fun Puerto Rican traditions you may have never heard of before!

Chelsea left Puerto Rico with a tan, and a mission to reconnect with her Latina side: hello arroz con habichuelas, gold hoops, and extremely animated, expressive, affectionate ways to connect!

 271: “I just can't see life without me being me, and that requires me to be okay with the possibility of disappointing someone or losing friends or being seen as odd or different.” - Mari Roberts 

In a world that runs on chaos, disconnection, and speed, how radical would it be to slow down, tune into your senses, and understand the language of your intuition? Chelsea and psychic energy healer Mari Roberts spill the tea on clearing bad juju, trusting your spidey senses, and why you don't need a crystal collection the size of Costco to shift your energy. 

Snippets from the episode:

• Clearing energy isn’t about drama — sometimes it’s just ringing a tiny bell and setting the intention.
• You don’t need a six-step ritual; even clapping your hands can shift the vibe.
• I get this little pressure in my head — that’s my sign things are moving. Your sign might be something totally different.
• Stop overthinking. Your body already knows when something’s off.
• Energy healing is less about fancy tools and more about tuning in and trusting yourself.

Ready to stop second-guessing and start trusting that inner GPS? This episode is your permission slip to ditch the overcomplicated rituals and get back to basics: your energy, your intention, your power. Sage bundles optional.

180: Are you scared of starting your own podcast for the fear of being ‘too much’? Do you feel like no one’s going to listen to you anyways? Or do you feel awkward sharing the most intimate parts of your life through audio content creation in general? Join Chelsea and Emmy as they talk about helpful tips to stop overthinking and how to just do it for you and the community you want to serve.

On this week’s episode, Chelsea sits down with Emmy to discuss:

1. Existing out loud - Emmy shares about her work, her passion and her way of storytelling
2. From blogging to podcasting - Before joining Mic Drop, Emmy has a decent chunk of blogs, an avenue where she reveals her truest self
3. ‘I want to be me’ - Emmy doesn’t want to be anybody else but herself and podcasting helps her do that
4. Intentionality - The secret to being a consistent podcaster is by being intentional with all episodes you publish
5. Podcasting as a safe space - Putting yourself out there is scary but for Emmy, for some reason, podcasts make her feel safe
6. Advice for podcasters - “Give yourself time”

“Experiencing life has been helpful. Putting myself in different environments, having someone who is so different from me, and at the same time people are like, it just makes sense. I think being open to having people reflect back to you in some way can kind of help affirm you to yourself.” - Emmy

178: Are you someone who regrets investing in a business coach, so much so that it keeps you up at night, and you can’t believe what you paid for? Are you tired of spending your life savings and not getting the results you want for your biz? Is it really on you, or is it because the business coaching industry has a few cracks that need to be sealed, like yesterday?

On this week’s episode, Chelsea sits down with Serine Goodmond to discuss:

1. “The Big Boom” in the business coaching industry - where did this demand even come from?
2. Marketing your dollar signs - this is worsening capitalism in the business coaching industry
3. Issues with business coaches - and the shocking results from Chelsea’s Instagram poll (given by business owners who hired business coaches themselves!)
4. Personal experiences - what worked out and didn’t. Serine and Chelsea don’t hold back.
5. Spotting red flags - how to use discernment to avoid being straight up scammed
6. How clients also play a part in their expectations falling short, and how to speak up for what they really need and want

“We're in this American culture where we want things to be fixed instantaneously, you then have all these people who wanna work for themselves tomorrow and they need someone that's gonna help them get there yesterday…I think what we're seeing if we zoom out is that people really need to divest from capitalism as the baseline business structure. There's a huge over emphasis on money and income, and not the actual service that we're providing to our clients.” - Serine Goodmond

177: Are you someone who rolls their eyes when you hear someone talk about astrology, their birth chart, or their “Big 3”? Or maybe it does sound intriguing, but you just don’t get how it works. Is it real, or just total B.S.?

On this week’s episode, Chelsea sits down with Dana from Self-Help Witch, to discuss:

• Dana’s journey to discovering astrology - it was actually prompted by a weight-loss journey 
• Deep diving into natal charts - what exactly do the houses, planets, and signs mean, and why you need to understand all 3
• North Node vs. South Node - often overlooked but incredibly insightful placements
• Different POVs in astrology - Hellenistic, Whole Sign Houses, and more
• How to use astrology in your life and the magic of your birth chart

“What can happen when you're reflecting on your placements is you recognize how much potential you have, and that's really what self-help work is all about. It's about recognizing how expansive you can become and how you can offer that to the world.” - Dana, Self-Help Witch
