THE MORNING PRACTICE THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE - taking out yesterday’s garbage to make space for today + how to use your breath to heal with Erika Polsinelli
Ep 100. This episode is a masterclass in all things breathwork, Kundalini, meditation, and deep emotional healing. When I did a trip to California this year I had this insane virus that was affecting the nerves in my neck. I was in so much pain and it was very much mirroring this emotional pain that I was in. I ended up having a one-on-one breath work session with Erika and I cried like a baby. It was the first time that I felt safe to actually let go and acknowledge how much pain I was in. I loved her technique and the way that she taught and held space for me felt so comfortable — I knew that I had to have her on the podcast so that she could give you guys a little bit of that magic that she shared with me and our one-on-one breathwork session.

FROM OPIATE ADDICTION TO LIFE AFTER ROCK BOTTOM – how to overcome adversity and turn your life around with Doug Bopst
Ep 96. If you feel like you’re in a rut or need a motivational pep talk, this episode is for you! Doug Bopst is an award-winning personal trainer, author, and speaker. However, his young adult life couldn’t have been more different than his current reality. Around his 21st birthday, Doug was detoxing from opiates in a jail cell after years of drug addiction. He turned to physical exercise as an outlet which ultimately catalyzed him to face his demons head-on and completely reinvent himself. Doug’s mission today is to inspire others to overcome adversity, break free from destructive addictions, and become the best version of themselves. Links from the ep: - Follow the link notion.com/juice to try Notion Ai for note-taking and project planning Here’s the juice: How Doug’s crippling insecurities and need for acceptance led him to drugs The moment that rock-bottomed him but ultimately turned his life around How negative habit stacking is just as much of a thing as positive habit stacking What got him to start working out in jail (spoiler: he couldn’t do one pushup when he started) Why reaching your “most successful” point is often your most unhappy one How spirituality helped him drop his ego and allowed him to see the bigger picture No one is coming to save you; you have to take ownership of your own life The role of community when bettering yourself The concept of addiction transference – in his case, being addicted to drugs shifted to being addicted to validation Why you have to determine an identity for yourself or you’ll become a chameleon, shaped by other people’s identities When you’re not feeling confident in yourself and your own victories you’re unable to celebrate other people’s wins What steps to take when you’ve hit rock bottom The importance of working your adversity muscle. Pain is like an adaptogen, the more you face it the stronger and more resilient you become Connect with Doug: Follow HERE Web HERE Connect with Olivia: Follow HERE Shop herbal formulas HERE
