In this episode, Alison interviews Simone Wright, an accomplished author, entrepreneur, and former competitive swimmer who possesses a profound understanding of intuition. Wright shares her fascinating journey of harnessing her intuitive abilities, which she believes is an innate skill that everyone can develop and enhance. The conversation delves deeply into what intuition is, how it manifests in our biological systems, and the importance of recognizing it as a vital aspect of our survival and decision-making processes.
The discussion takes an intriguing turn when Wright shares her experience working with law enforcement where she applied her intuitive insights to help solve a triple homicide, achieving remarkable accuracy, which heightened her credibility in the field. Rather than continuing in that role, she chose to focus on teaching others how to harness their intuitive capabilities. Simone developed a systematic approach called "First Intelligence," which breaks down intuition into a clear framework. She explains that intuition is our earliest form of intelligence, capable of guiding us before conscious thought comes into play.
The conversation brings light to the current information age, where a flood of data can overwhelm individuals, yet paradoxically, this environment can activate and enhance intuition. Simone urges listeners to recognize that, despite the noise present in society, intuition can provide a personal advantage. She encourages embracing the beauty of simplicity while trusting that everyone has unique intuition that can be honed over time.

In this week's episode I welcome Dr. Jamie Hope, an ER physician with nearly two decades of experience, who shares her multifaceted journey as a caregiver and healthcare provider. The conversation dives deep into the pressing issues faced by caregivers, highlighting the often-overlooked struggles and the essential resources needed to thrive in this challenging role.
Dr. Hope begins by recounting her personal experience, which catalyzed her passion for supporting caregivers. This experience was ignited by her beloved mother-in-law’s unexpected diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Facing the realities of illness with a close family member while balancing her demanding career as an ER physician and caring for her own young children forced her to reevaluate the support systems available for caregivers. Through this journey, she recognized a glaring gap in resources aimed at alleviating the burdens felt by individuals thrust into caregiving roles.
Dr. Hope emphasizes that caregivers often experience feelings of guilt and exhaustion, often to the detriment of their own wellbeing. She elaborates on common issues such as navigating family dynamics, financial stress, and the emotional toll of caregiving. Many practitioners and families, she explains, lack vital knowledge about the available support and resources, leaving them to navigate the complex healthcare system alone.
Dr. Hope’s initiative includes creating a membership platform aimed at equipping caregivers with the knowledge and tools necessary to advocate for their loved ones effectively. The platform encompasses a wide range of educational materials, from courses to downloadable resources tailored to meet diverse caregiver needs. Moreover, it provides access to a supportive community where caregivers can connect with others in similar situations. Dr. Hope draws attention to the need for inclusivity within this community, ensuring that different caregiving experiences—such as caring for someone with dementia versus a cancer diagnosis—are all represented and supported.
HIGHLIGHTS:
2:44 The Caregiver's Journey
6:20 Navigating Multiple Roles

16:22 Understanding Caregiver Needs

In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Daniel Raz, an online fitness coach with a compelling story rooted in a diverse upbringing. Daniel shares his journey from a picky eater in China to an advocate for accessible health and wellness solutions, particularly for those who may not enjoy the conventional gym setting. This episode is especially relevant for listeners who seek to prioritize their health outside of the gym environment.
We delve into Daniel's background, where he highlights the cultural differences in food and health from his childhood in Israel to his teenage years in China. Growing up in an environment filled with unique culinary choices, Daniel’s initial struggle with nutrition was transformed by his passion for basketball, which sparked his interest in fitness and healthier eating. This pivotal moment led him to pursue a career in personal training, eventually shifting his focus to online coaching amidst the challenges of the 2020 lockdowns. He recognized a significant gap in the market: individuals who dreaded the gym but still desired to improve their health.
A key theme we explore is the notion that many people feel alienated from the gym culture, associating it solely with bodybuilders and elite athletes. Daniel emphasizes the importance of demystifying fitness and showing that it’s possible to achieve health goals through alternative methods. He points out that most individuals simply want to live longer, feel better, and avoid medications, all of which can be accomplished outside the traditional gym.
We also discuss the prevalent all-or-nothing mentality that often hinders people from committing to an exercise routine or healthy eating habits. Daniel encourages listeners to embrace the middle ground, which allows for flexibility and gradual progress. He stresses that even minimal actions, such as taking short walks or doing simple exercises during breaks, can accumulate significant health benefits over time.

Holly helps women recover from burnout, address mindset issues, achieve sustainable weight loss, and live a healthier lifestyle without strict diets. We delved into the concept of creating a comeback story and the importance of mindset in achieving personal goals.
Holly shared her five-step framework, called Rocky, which stands for Rear View Mirror, Own Your Ship, Create Your Future Self, Keep the Vision, and Go Home to You. These steps focus on reflection, taking personal responsibility, envisioning the future self, staying focused on the bigger picture, and connecting with one's inner strength. By following this framework, individuals can navigate challenges, take control of their lives, and embrace personal growth.
