If you could create the "perfect you", what would that look like? What kind of qualities would you have? How would you feel as you carried out daily life? In this episode, Jacob Moore hosts Maria-Victoria Albina who tells us that above all else, the key to feeling yourself is through nervous system regulation and slowing down!

What you’ll learn from this episode:

1. How to keep stress levels in check during times of disruption, panic, or high-stakes situations
2. How to break free from our conditioned responses to stress so we can make decisions that support our short and long-term goals
3. Somatic practices that help you regulate your nervous system and complete the stress cycle

All too often, our sympathetic nervous systems are set off by our daily routines. How can we identify those factors and what can we do to cope? By utilizing breathwork Ms. Albina encourages us that regulating your nervous system is well within reach.

María-Victoria Albina (she/her) is a Master Certified Somatic Life Coach, UCSF-trained Family Nurse Practitioner and Breathwork Meditation Guide with a passion for helping humans socialized as women realize that they are their own best healers by reconnecting with their bodies and minds, so they can break free from codependency, perfectionism and people-pleasing and reclaim their joy.

She is the host of the Feminist Wellness Podcast, holds a Masters degree in Public Health from Boston University School of Public Health and a BA in Latin American Studies from Oberlin College. Victoria has been working in health & wellness for over 20 years and lives on occupied Munsee Lenape territory in New York’s Hudson Valley.

"We need to pause and slow things down, so we can remember that we do the most good for all when we approach life with a slowness, with presence, with mindfulness." - Maria-Victoria Albina

Do you suffer from an autoimmune disorder, underlying health condition, or chronic pain? All too often, our healthcare practitioners target the symptoms of these ailments: the pain, the sickness, etc. In this episode, Jacob's guest Sarah Baker shares a different approach. What if, instead of addressing symptoms, medicine targeted the root cause of the problem?

What you’ll learn from this episode:

1. The functional approach to medicine
2. The importance of identifying the root-cause of symptoms
3. Your 2 most important priorities: sleep and nervous system regulation

Sarah shows us that addressing only the symptoms for an illness is like putting a band-aid on a gaping wound. Maybe it will help a little bit, but until the root cause is identified and the problem effectively treated, you won't be able to move forward and be the best you, you can be. This is Part 1 of a 2 Part Series.

Does it ever feel like nothing seems to be going right? Are you stuck in the rut of grueling routine? In this episode, Jacob Moore hosts Michelle Ensuque, an expert in neurolinguistic programming, an alternative approach to self-reflection and personal change that might be just what you need to spur some action in your life.  

What you’ll learn from this episode:

1. How to become aware of subconscious driving forces
2. How to investigate the source of the drivers
3. The power of employing empathy from a place of emotional maturity

Change in your life, brain, and being start with the awareness of what is happening within. It's easy to get caught up in the mundane aspects of life, or you may find yourself falling into the same patterns. But have you stopped and thought...Why?

Michelle Ensuque is an NLP coach whose project management and consultant career has spanned 30 years across public and private sectors. As a former serving officer of the Armed Forces, she overcame burnout in 2013 and now helps other people to look at the world in a different way so that they can live, rather than simply exist.

"I never really stopped and thought, "If this was somebody else in my situation and I could see them running themselves ragged, working, looking after two boys, being a single parent, trying to be perfect around the house, not having a social life...what would I say to that person? Because chances are, if that was your best mate, you would be going "what do you think you are doing?" Because this is not sustainable. But when it comes to ourselves, we seem to think that we can just continue in that way." - Michelle Ensuque

Think about the qualities of a thriving business culture. What comes to mind? You might consider efficiency, cooperation, skilled employees, and profits, but Jacob Moore's next guest, Bryan Trilli, tells us that another trait should be at the top of your list: love. Rather than seeing love as a rosy and fanciful ideal, Bryan clearly defines this strategic concept and shows how to practically apply love to your workplace environment.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

1. What love actually means
2. How love in the workplace boosts productivity
3. Boundary setting for yourself and your business culture

Substantial research shows that love in the workplace boosts employee morale, which leads to better productivity and a thriving culture. Entwining his years of experience with hours of research, Bryan Trilli brings us the latest strategy in helping you love where you work.

Bryan Trilli has bought or started 6 different businesses in 5 different industries in 4 different states from a brick-and-mortar service business to the #1 online company for computer vision training in the world.

After running a successful lead-gen agency, Optimized Marketing, Bryan decided that if his team truly is great at marketing, they should cut out the middle-man and buy and build companies they control.

That adventure led him to build worldwide remote teams which required an obsessive focus on culture - and love.

"If you really love somebody, what does that mean? The definition that I work off of is to will the good of another. Another word that's often used is charity. What's charity? That would mean doing something good without expectation of return. And that's essentially the same thing. That's how I would understand love." - Bryan Trilli
