I'm thrilled to have James Clear with me to talk about the tool we use to solve the problems of life with as little effort and energy as possible. That tool, of course, is habits. This is a subject that I became intensely focused on several years ago when I realized that it wasn't enough to teach my clients how to do things like meditate, breathe, and nourish themselves with whole foods; I needed to teach them how to form good habits, hence my evolution from being a practitioner to coaching people on how to actually implement the core competencies of self-care. James Clear is author and speaker focused on habits, decision-making, and continuous improvement. His work has appeared in the New York Times, Entrepreneur, Time, and on CBS This Morning. His website, jamesclear.com, receives millions of visitors each month and hundreds of thousands (including me) subscribe to his popular email newsletter.

Has all the contradicting information about what we should and shouldn't eat left you confused? Lifetime television's morning show health expert and syndicated radio host, Dr. David Friedman (as seen on ABC, CBS, NBC, E!, Discovery Health, FOX, FitTV, The Food Network, Discovery Channel and more) has spent the past 15 years interviewing hundreds of health advocates, scientists, doctors and New York Times bestselling authors. His goal has always been to share cutting-edge information that helps his audience reach optimal health. Unfortunately, each guest would contradict Dr. Friedman's previous expert, creating more confusion than clarity. From proponents of a vegan, paleo, or Mediterranean diet to advocates of gluten-free and low carb eating, the opinions are as different as night and day. After becoming frustrated with so much biased (often paid for) and conflicting research, Dr. Friedman created a common science meets common sense approach that puts an end to all the culinary conundrum.

	Regaining Self-Trust: Advice from a Former Cult Member	20 Oct 2021	00:47:12
From time to time, every one of us makes mistakes and bad decisions. Once we recognize what happened, it can often be hard to regain our self-trust. Kelly Thiel joins us for this conversation to share her own experience of losing self-trust and how she's been able to work on rebuilding it. Her story inspires us to let go of resentment and anger to move forward; to move on from perfectionism and mistakes to find trust in ourselves once again. On Today's Episode of A Healthy Curiosity: How discernment relates to self-trust in Chinese Medicine What some of the conditions were that led Kelly to the NXIVM cult The difference in the feelings of evolution versus things that are actually dangerous to us Why the answers we seek always come from inside ourselves How she defines enlightenment for herself now Kelly Thiel is an accomplished voice actress, author, speaker, consultant, and spiritual seeker. She practices yoga, does Pilates, and and has worked with spiritual healers around the world on her personal journey towards enlightenment. She is also a former member of an abhorrently abusive cult called "NXIVM", which has been the subject of multiple documentaries on HBO, STARZ, and A+E Kelly has survived and reckoned with her trauma such that she now helps others conquer theirs. Kelly is set to release her much anticipated second book in 2021. This candid telling is an inspiring call to action, that champions readers to be their own guru, take ownership, action, and take back control, on their way to becoming "Unapologetically Glorious".

	Brodie's Origin Story - Episode 100	30 May 2018	00:46:33
Today's episode is a bit of a twist and an unusual approach, in comparison to past episodes of the podcast. If you've listened to the podcast before, you'll know that my episodes are based on interviews and visits that I conduct with other health experts, practitioners, and coaches. On today's episode, the tables are being turned, and I am being interviewed by a listener of the podcast. My guest today is Audrey Burke – she is a newer, but loyal listener of A Healthy Curiosity, and has found herself with a deep desire to help people. She is interested in pursuing a career in wellness, but isn't quite sure which direction to go. Audrey has a unique background, with a degree in biomedical engineering and a work history including corporate work, working on farms and for non-profits, and living in Italy as an ex-pat. She is passionate about yoga, but has found herself fascinated by Ayurveda, acupuncture, and massage school, among other things. Audrey takes the lead with questions as I share my career and wellness journey – a journey that has been anything but linear, but has led me to the beautiful combination of skills, techniques, and practices I love sharing with my clients today. "The beautiful thing about being in the health field or the wellness field is that every ounce of work you do on yourself, is going to benefit the other people in your life. Your own personal lessons become the things you are skillful at sharing with your patients." – Brodie Welch
