Do you like rollercoasters?
On this episode I am joined by Scott Simon. Scott is a happiness entrepreneur, SYS founder, and author of Scare Your Soul: 7 Powerful Principles for Harnessing Fear and Living Your Most Courageous Life which was released in December, 2022.
Scott is a sought-after speaker, meditation leader, and high-performance life coach, focusing primarily on creating flourishing lives after major changes such as divorce. Scott earned his BA from Skidmore College, an MA from Case Western Reserve University, and Certificates in Positive Psychology and Coaching from The Wholebeing Institute.
On this episode we discuss how Scott was a very shy and bullied child who really internalized his pain which led to in his youth trying to live an invisible life. He was stepping out of his comfort zone, after college going to teach English to Holocaust survivors, when he had a panic attack on the plane. To calm himself, he took out a spiral notebook and wrote a challenge to himself to do one thing a day that scared him. He acted on that challenge and a year later headed back to the United States a changed person. That year of daily challenges was something he aimed to continue to do and he did starting with publicly singing in front of a popular brunch spot. That challenge led to a viral moment on Facebook.
We talk about how his daily challenges started inspiring others and became the Scare Your Soul movement. His movement is about inspiring others to take the small steps towards facing their fears and creating a community of others who support each other along the way.
His book Scare Your Soul: 7 Powerful Principles for Harnessing Fear and Living Your Most Courageous Life has the tips to start your own journey, as well as a workbook to help you really implement these principles as well as stories from other people who have implemented these challenges into their own lives.

Incorporating New Sleep-aids Into Your Bedtime Routine

Do you prefer to wear socks or bare feet?
On this episode I am joined by Lane Igoudin. In his candid and poignant memoir, A Family, Maybe Two Dads, Two Babies and the Court Cases that Brought Us Together, Lane details his and his husband Jonathan’s fraught path through the Los Angeles County’s foster-to-adopt process. A Family, Maybe offers an unprecedented look into the adoption process as it affects the lives of everyone involved, from the children taken into the system, to the suffering birth parents, to the couples hoping desperately to start a family of their own.
In the fall of 2005, after years of preparation, planning, and waiting for a chance to raise a family, Jon and Lane were given the opportunity to foster an infant named Marianna. Lane and Jon fell in love with the child and decided they would give her the best life they could. Marianna’s mother, a teenager in foster care herself, had voluntarily placed her in foster care before going AWOL. With her birth mother absent and father unknown, Marianna seemed to be on the fast-track to becoming adoptable.
The couple could not have predicted the return of the child’s mother, still in foster care, and the news that she was expecting a second child. With the second child also came the sudden appearance of the baby’s birth father, a man 10 years older than the mother, which would complicate the kids’ cases and begin to pull Lane and Jon’s family apart.
A Family, Maybe documents the ensuing spiral, rife with legal challenges, emotional blows, and no less important, political strife. In the early 2000s, with gay marriage and adoption still illegal in most U.S. states, Lane and Jon’s family would join the first wave of out LGBTQ+ families fighting for respect and equality. A Family, Maybe is a story of hope and heartbreak; of relatable first-time parenting highs and lows, but also with the pressure of knowing the family you’ve built could be ripped from you at any moment.

On this episode I am joined by Amanda Edmiston. Amanda is a herbalist and storyteller based in Scotland. She first learnt about plants and recipes from her grandmother who still remembered traditional remedies and folklore. After studying law and then herbal medicine, Amanda found it natural to start bringing together stories, plants, and magical places, drawing on the Scottish storytelling tradition, but in her own unique way. She has been showcasing her own work for over 10 years, performing and creating art in museums, libraries, forests, castles, schools and universities around the world under the banner Botanica Fabula. We discuss her book: The Time Travelers Herbal, Stories and Recipes from the Historical Apothecary Cabinet. Steeped in history, the herbalist's art paved the way for modern science - but didn't necessarily need to have been replaced by it. In The Time Traveler's Herbal, the traditional remedies and recipes that were passed down through the ages are offered to the modern reader as a means to reconnect with the natural world, while reaping the benefits. Steeped in the stories through which these remedies have been passed down to us, our connection to the past is fully explored in a romantic and meandering journey through the plants and flowers that have healed and helped us through the ages. Amanda has offered a special discount (CURIOUSHERBAL25) for her Very Curious Herbal online courses. https://www.botanicafabula.co.uk/online-courses

On this episode I am joined by Gabby who is the owner of Goodbrand Fitness. She is a mom of two kids and a former school psychologist. In 2013 she moved from Colorado to White Rock, she found that fitness was the best way to connect with others in the community. When she became a mom in 2015, group classes allowed her to take care of herself and meet other moms. Fitness has always been a source of connection for her. When the pandemic hit, she found herself feeling lonely and isolated again. She began meeting up with a few friends to work out together in the park. She would lead the bootcamp, and the group would encourage one another, and keep each other accountable. She realized there were so many other women in White Rock & South Surrey also searching for a new fitness routine. What started as a hobby, turned into a side-gig, and has bloomed into a full time business with her own studio space. https://www.buzzsprout.com/1926894/13573221-ep-59-gabby-from-goodbrand-fitness.mp3?download=true
