The healing power of fitness goes far beyond physical benefits—for today’s guest, it’s a form of self-expression and a celebration of what the body can do. In this episode, host Nora McInerny sits down with fitness personality Ivylis Rivera, who shares her deeply personal journey of navigating life with Chronic Migraine while holding onto her passion for movement. Ivylis opens up about the struggle of staying active while facing the fear of triggering a headache or migraine attack and the resilience it takes to keep pushing forward—a resilience that carried her through the challenging journey of finding a Chronic Migraine treatment plan that worked for her. Join Nora and Ivylis as they explore the concept of “soft living,” a philosophy Ivylis embraces—staying active, listening to your body, and building trust in oneself.

Find & Subscribe: iTunes | Google Play | Stitcher | Spotify When you consider the fact that human beings have been living in tribes and communities for the entirety of our existence, there couldn't be a more important time to talk about how to create that connection than now... in this time of distancing and isolation during the COVID19 crisis. Philip is an anthropologist, an expert in the four archetypes as they relate to the hero’s journey, a ropes-course master, and has served as a consultant, trainer, and guide for high performing teams all over the country. In this conversation, we cover all of the following (and more): The importance of connection and community celebration How shining light on others in your tribe builds trust, camaraderie, collective success, and honor. Why tribe is so important, especially right now How to shift from isolation to connection How to empower yourself to thrive in today’s environment by choosing it. The 3 pillars of kinship I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did! Help Us Spread the Word & share this link with a friend: www.wholelifechallenge.com/podcast YOUR REVIEWS MATTER. Please do me a solid... and write a review on iTunes. Thanks in Advance!! bit.ly/breakingordinary . Notes: We also start connecting when feeling isolated Connection - shine a light on your tribe. When you win, I win and visa versa. Celebrate the wins of people in your tribe. Honor based cultures. Celebrating the collective success. Their success is your success. The false narrative of the lone wolf - Hollywood glorified - Rambo, The Lone Ranger. Not powerful. The lone wolf starves to death in the wild. Humans are wired for inherent collaborative relationships. Lone wolves under one banner don’t win… until they became team players. Toss and assist. When isolated from the pack/tribe, it triggers a “death response” in the amygdala. That is why “shame” is such a significant trigger. It makes you feel like you’re not accepted… the threat of isolation/ex-communication. The brain releases cortisol - to prep to fight to survive. Shuts down non-vital organs and immune system. Feeling isolated? Must start a protocol of connecting. We are not socially distancing, we are physically distancing. We are tighter than ever today. Pain, when unresolved, it becomes resentment, which then becomes contempt - and then it’s time for separation, Perspective creates reality. When looking at this as enforced isolation, it’s externally enforced. When looking at this as solitude and it’s an opportunity for growth, reflection, healing, etc, it’s internally enforced. It’s a choice When it’s MY choice… I’m empowered. Ownership… don’t let someone else’s enforced rules become YOUR prison When you can no longer change your situation, you’re forced to change yourself. - Victor Frankl When in chaos, we must chunk it down into small amounts we can manage. There are situations… but there are never problems. Problems are always in the past or in the future. The apple represented metacognition. Self-awareness, what is going to happen in the future, and ultimately, death… the perfect recipe for anxiety, worry, fear. Humans have been cursed with remembering the past (regrets, depression), and thinking about the future (anxiety)... also a source of power - remembering the past (learn from it), thinking about the future (plan).. Yin Yang of our journey. Resiliency in a sense of belonging. WWII - the blitz of London - substantial drop in depression and anxiety and increased morale and resiliency got higher than ever. Trauma bonding. Kinship pillars 1 purpose, why, vision 2 values - growth, service 3 mission Connect with Philip https://www.mywolftribe.com/ Philip on Facebook Philip on Instagram Questions?

It seems like this format is really resonating with our community, even more so than my podcast, because it’s shorter, more accessible, and more fun. People have been reaching out to me non-stop about how much they loved the convo, and how helpful it was for them. In the conversation, Carolyn and I talk about how to deal with the unstable footing that we all find ourselves on, finding peace in all of the uncertainty, being of service, the illusion of control… and so much more.

And by the way, she didn't disappoint... In this episode, we dive deep into things like the brain, the gut, and the role that "belief" plays in healing. I really appreciate her humanness, and willingness to slow down and describe things in a way that "the rest of us" can understand and relate to. This was a great conversation...

Plutchik’s Wheel of Emotions How language and consciousness affects your experience of life Jim Kwik - speed learning - Why you want to be a thermostat, not a thermometer. The two questions Dr. Dawn always starts with when working with a new patient. EMF’s and how that contributes to stress and inflammation The impact of toxic heavy metals in the body and why you should care. Why you should get rid of your mercury fillings. How chelation therapy works to remove heavy metals. The two most important areas to focus on to keep yourself healthy: nutrition & gut health Why food quality matters… not just macros Make 80% of immune cells in our gut What is “leaky gut” and how it affects your health - a simplified breakdown. How toxins and inflammatory chemicals get into your bloodstream and liver from your gut (large intestine). A healthy immune system is built to handle the toxins (like lime, parasites, mold, etc) we get from our environment. However, when our system gut is impaired and dysfunctional, we can’t handle them, and they “get through” (leaky gut) into our body, liver, heart, brain. Why gluten is so inflammatory in the United States (hint: glyphosate, Monsanto). Your body’s ability to handle “a five-alarm fire” is determined by what you’re doing when you don’t have a five-alarm fire going on (daily habits). Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome Anger work - processing your feelings The importance of mindfulness, emotional work and spiritual practice for your health.

He is a master of simplifying complex subjects and breaking them down into easy, effective actions. He loves to learn new skills like music, languages, juggling, and hand balancing. Episode Notes From Andy: Abrupt start - jumping into a conversation about ozone generator for his cold plunge Crux of the perishable skill as it applies to stimulus like walking barefoot and cold water Why you should think “intention before ingestion.” If complexity equals cost, what are you making complex that is costing you more than you need to spend? Why you should consider spending more time exercising, playing, and working out on hills. How looking for the right set/rep combination is missing the point. Learn this simple phrase to help frame your self-talk and be more honest with yourself. Books The Inner Game of Tennis by W. Timothy Gallwey What to say when you talk to yourself by Shad Helmstetter The Power of Yet by Esther P Cordova “Freedom is understanding the truth of necessity” How do you know what you need? What is a want vs. what is a need? Your outer game vs. inner game Starvation and Fasting look almost the same until the very end. Considering the 3-3-3 rule. Why “shoulding” others is something to consider giving up. What is more important, attention or intelligence? Why a simple timer is one of the best tools you can use for your fitness. Max’s 5-minute flow Why you should roll around on the hard ground and how you should do it. The six daily essential types of movement: jump/bounce, roll, carry, walk/run, hang, crawl. Framing your suffering - how your ego gets in the way. The reward mechanism behind modern technology and how we are all falling victim to the habit cycle Using the “3-feel Test” to help you see what is truly important for you. Being an adult is the ability to be totally bored while remaining perfectly still. Why are we attached to numbers - weight, length, time? How many days old are you? I am 19,156 days old!

In spending over an hour one-on-one with Gabby, it's clear to me why she has achieved the level of success she has in life. She's honest, real, willing to talk about just about anything, and is always looking both inward to grow and learn, and outward to serve others.

Available On: iTunes | Google Play | Stitcher | Spotify In his early 20s, David Meltzer was at the top of his game in the business world and lecturing around the globe. But despite his success, he felt that something was missing, and the multimillionaire went on a rapid downward spiral that ended in bankruptcy. It was only then that David realized, in order to revive and thrive, he needed to blend spirituality with business. He started to meld his newfound life and business outlook as CEO to sports super agent Leigh Steinberg (played by Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire), and the result of his transformation is the remarkably successful venture - Sports 1 Marketing - that he began with Pro Football Hall of Fame Quarterback Warren Moon. From Andy:Dave is one of the most successful people I've ever had the opportunity of having on the podcast, and also one of the most genuine, relatable, and generous. It came as a surprise to me given the cutthroat, ego-driven business (sports agent, deal making, sports marketing) for which he's at the top of the game. He was incredibly open, sharing the behind the scenes story about getting Steve Young signed to the 49ers when they already had Joe Montana as their go-to guy, and also sharing his "secrets" of negotiating and deal-making. He's driven to succeed, but also to give, serve, and contribute to humanity - which he's doing every day. Enjoy!

1:21:13

Available On: iTunes | Google Play | Stitcher | Spotify Dr. Sean Pastuch is the Founder and CEO of Active Life Rx where he is on a mission to change the way Active people improve their soft tissue and joint health. Dr. Sean believes that the way to make healthcare inspiring again is to get it out of the doctor’s office and into the gym. With help from his team, Dr. Sean has been able to help people remotely, from all walks of life avoid surgery and work towards elite performance through coaching and programming. In his own words, "I am passionate as can be about coaching other people reach their potential be it intellectually, in business, or physically. This is especially true for my thrill for parenting. I feel like this is the masterpiece coaching job of my career and there is nothing I take more pride in than seeing something I taught one of my daughters take shape and provide them value in one way or another. In his daily practice, Dr. Sean treats professional and recreational athletes alike to get them back on the field or in the gym. He is also well practiced in treating patients with little or no athletic background who simply want to live an active lifestyle. He has also provided trainer education programs for Equinox Fitness Clubs, New York Sports Clubs, The Fitness Education Institute, and The Personal Training Institute and coaches classes at CrossFit King of Island Park, NY. From Andy: What a refreshing conversation. I love Dr. Sean’s mission - keeping people out of the doctor’s office and in their lives, pursuing what they love. I also love the way he is unabashedly out in the world pursuing it, preaching it, living it. One of the things I love about Sean is his humbleness. In fact, you’d be hard pressed to ever hear him touting the fact that he is, in fact, a doctor of chiropractic, as he feels it interferes with clients expectations of what that title means, and with his ability to help people heal through whatever means necessary. Two of the coolest parts of the convo - 1) understanding the underlying “why” behind any client’s goals, and 2) our discussion of the difference between flexibility and mobility.

Available On: iTunes | Google Play | Stitcher | Spotify Bart Yasso, known as the “Mayor of Running,” is the now-retired Runner's World Chief Running Officer, and author of My Life on the Run and Race Everything . In addition to his induction into the Running USA Hall of Champions, Yasso was recently inducted into the Road Runners Club of America Distance Running Hall of Fame. Yasso started running in the late '70s on a whim. Finding it both easy and natural, he fell in love with the sport for its measurability and simplicity. A decade and thousands of miles later, in 1987, he joined the staff of Runner's World. He was also the creator of a marathon training workout called Yasso 800s that has become known around the world as a legit track training workout for marathons. Here's how it works: Take your marathon time, but instead of looking at it as hh:mm, look at it as mm:ss, then do 10 x 800m intervals with a 400m rest interval. (Example: A marathon time of 3 hrs and 30 min becomes 3 min and 30 seconds. So you'd do your 800's at that 3:30 pace). He is one of the few people to have completed races on all seven continents from the Antarctica marathon to the Mt. Kilimanjaro marathon. In 1987, Yasso won the U.S. National Biathlon Long Course Championship and won the Smoky Mountain Marathon in 1998. He has also completed the Ironman five times and the Badwater 146 through Death Valley. He has also cycled, unsupported and by himself, across the country twice. From Andy: This conversation really surprised me. Not that I didn't think it would be good, but that I had no idea what to expect as I didn't know the extent of Bart's experience and reach in the world of running. There isn't much he hasn't done, and his love for the sport really comes out. He's also quick to point out that by far the most meaningful experiences he's had over his varied career have had everything to do with the people and the difference he's made for them, runners or not. His stories about the Badwater 146 and cycling cross-country are unforgettable, as are the things he shares about the people whose lives he's touched and who have touched his. Enjoy this one.

Available On: iTunes | Google Play | Stitcher | Spotify For Thad Beaty, musician-turned-triathlete, “Music That Moves” is the literal summation of his incredible journey thus far. A guitarist who has spent 9 years with country juggernaut Sugarland, he has shared stages with Lady Gaga, Bon Jovi, Kenny Chesney, Rhianna, and Beyoncé as well as contributing as a writer on albums selling upwards of 10 million copies. After his mother’s diagnosis with colon cancer and his own realization that the rock and roll lifestyle had resulted in his own poor health, he set out on a new journey to reclaim his health, the health of his family, and now, a quickly growing community of triathletes all over the world. Music That Moves was born out of Thad’s journey back to health in all areas of his life. Through the medium of a plant-based diet combined with a goal to compete in an IRONMAN, Thad found himself over 70 pounds lighter and surrounded by fellow athletes and musicians who wanted his help with their own journeys. Never one to do anything halfway, he dove in head first and pursued multiple coaching certifications (USA Triathlon Level 2, USAC Level 2, Training Peaks Level 2, USMS Level 2, Newton Running, Dynamic Movement Assessment,TRX, Spartan SGX, Triathlon Research, and Scheduled to sit for his Nutritionist certification and NSCA CSCS) to better coach the athletes he is leading. After discovering his passion to affect people’s lives for positive change, Thad was asked to be a celebrity mentor on ABC’s Extreme Makeover Weight-loss Edition, helping to coach and train a participant to complete the New Zealand Half-Ironman. From Andy: Thad is one of the most down-to-earth real rock stars that I've ever spoken with. His willingness to get real and raw and share some of the realities of his life made the conversation light, fun, entertaining, and enlightening. He's got a serious passion for helping others change their lives in a similar way to the way he's changed his. You're going to LOVE this one! Enjoy!

Available On: iTunes | Google Play | Stitcher | Spotify Throughout his career, Dr. Michael Gervais has followed a central question: Is there a common thread connecting those who change how we understand how the world works? As a high-performance psychologist, published, peer-reviewed author and recognized speaker on optimal human performance, Michael Gervais works in the trenches of high-stakes environments, where there is no luxury for mistakes, hesitation, or failure to respond. While Dr. Gervais’ roster includes an MVP from every major sport, internationally acclaimed artists and musicians and Fortune 100 CEO’s, he is also the Co-Founder of Compete to Create, whose mission is to help people become the best they can be. He recognizes that all of us are required to perform daily. We all navigate our own high-stakes environments and can benefit just as much with the right mindset training. Ultimately, Dr. Gervais’ goal is to unpack, then decode, how the greatest performers in the world use their minds to pursue the boundaries of human potential. To accelerate that aim, he has curated conversations with those who have dedicated their life toward Finding Mastery. Applying that passion to explore human performance boundaries to his personal life, Dr. Gervais is an avid surfer who also enjoys skiing Canada’s backcountry. He has come to understand that the answer to his central question lies in the space between hesitation and commitment. From Andy: I must say that this was one of the most fun and informative conversations I've had in recent memory - with anyone. Michael is as knowledgeable as he is personable, and his enthusiasm for the conversation about mastery is infectious. I learned a bunch of new things that have already opened up new wormholes of learning to dive into -- all that fascinates me. Enjoy!
