On this episode of The Andrew Taylor Show , Andrew sits down with Mara Mueller, Clinical Director and Primary Therapist at PureLife Adventure, to explore the power of a digital detox. Mara shares how unplugging from phones—often a young person’s first coping mechanism—can feel overwhelming at first, but ultimately leads to a powerful reset. They discuss what happens when phones are returned after the program concludes at PureLife, how to reframe technology as a tool, and why slowing down is essential to healing.

Faith and Andrew dive into some exciting initiatives at PureLife, focusing on the fascinating concept of somatic therapy and interoception —the body’s ability to sense its internal state. They explore how tuning into signals like your heartbeat, breathing patterns, and muscle tension can lead to powerful improvements in both physical and mental health. It’s like a full-body check-in, helping people learn how to release tension and reconnect with themselves. They also discuss the growing challenge Gen Z faces with sedentary, screen-heavy lifestyles, and how nature-based and adventure therapy can be part of the solution. Faith shares compelling research showing how these therapies enhance a person’s sense of agency over their body—boosting self-esteem, self-belief, and overall well-being.

When students struggle to finish high school or feel stuck in college, it’s easy to lose hope, withdraw, and give up. But what if there were other paths forward? Today, Andrew is joined by his friend and business partner Allan Capp to talk about their unique adventure therapy program, PureLife Adventure Costa Rica. Allan is passionate about helping young people who haven’t quite fit into the traditional education system - something he relates to personally. In this episode, Andrew and Allan discuss how schools are increasingly supportive of gap semester and gap year programs like PureLife, which allow students to earn the credits they need to graduate while also surfing, living without personal electronics, and building community with peers who’ve faced similar challenges. This conversation highlights not only the incredible experiences offered at PureLife Adventure Costa Rica but also brings hope to students and parents alike: success doesn’t always come from a traditional classroom. There are other ways forward.

Today, Andrew welcomes developmental psychologist Sarah McMillan to discuss “mattering”. Don’t worry, this isn’t some fancy quantum mechanics term - it’s actually a simple concept that has been around for centuries: ‘Mattering is about how we treat ourselves and how we treat each other.’ This may seem like common sense for most of us but as research is showing, young people today are more isolated than ever and their lack of communal interaction is deeply affecting their sense of worth, value, and identity - essentially the idea that they “matter”. This is a profoundly eye-opening conversation and we recommend bookmarking for future replays.

Today, Andrew is joined again by his long-term friend and Mental Performance Coach Riley Jensen to discuss the power and importance of body language. Contrary to being an old wives tale, how we stand, hold our heads, and present ourselves has a measurable impact on our well-being - and performance.

Today, Andrew is joined by long-term friend and Mental Performance Coach Riley Jensen to discuss Andrew’s new book, LAUNCH: A Guide to Getting Unstuck, Navigating Life, and Thriving. Though written for a teen and young person audience, Andrew shares how his book is really a letter to his 20-year-old self and, ultimately, anyone seeking the information to jumpstart motivation. Together, Riley and Andrew dispel any preconceived notions of this being your typical “self-help” book.

What do you tell yourself when it comes to food? Knowingly or not, we all have an internal narrative when it comes to the nourishment of our bodies. This typically stems from our upbringing but it can also be influenced by popular culture, peers, and our environment - so, how do we keep a healthy mindset towards food? Today, Andrew welcomes Tena Bonilla, a Registered Dietician who runs Restorative Nutrition Seattle. Together they discuss common messaging we receive about our diets, how anxiety and ADHD play into our relationship with what we eat, and how mindfulness can be a helpful approach to overcoming food hangups.

With the rise of social media, diverse educational and economic backgrounds, and a fresh set of aspirations, Gen-Z is redefining the landscape for colleges and universities. But how are these institutions adapting to meet the needs of this unique generation? And why isn’t new technology alone enough to keep them engaged and enrolled? Today, Andrew is joined by Dr. Gary Daynes, former Interim Dean of Westminster Business School and founder of Back Porch Consulting. Together, they explore what Gen-Z students want from higher education and how institutions can evolve to stay relevant for future generations.

We may subconsciously know perfection isn’t attainable but many of us still strive for it. Where is this desire for perfection coming from?

The Andrew Taylor Show: Thriving and Surviving
Many of us may recall our 70’s/80’s childhood summers: biking through the streets, catching fireflies, staying out til dark, playing imaginary games, roaming the fields or woods near our homes - and our parents trusting we would be home eventually to eat and sleep. Being outside was a given. How is the move to a world indoors affecting our children’s development today? Listen in as Andrew welcomes Jennifer Pulley, owner and teacher of Off We Go Nature Preschool based in Salt Lake City, Utah. Jen and Andrew discuss how “play” is serious for kids and how it allows for creativity, social-emotional development, problem-solving, and more to thrive in the minds of our children.

The Andrew Taylor Show: Thriving and Surviving
How well do you know your internal narrative? Do you catch yourself speaking negatively or brutally criticizing your own performance? Host Andrew Taylor speaks with Mental Performance Coach (and best friend) Riley Jensen about how shifting your internal narrative can fundamentally change the direction of your life—something they both know from personal experience. Whether you're a young person dealing with the effects of social media or navigating your parenting era, none of us are exempt from the loud, negative influences of the outside world. More importantly, if left unchecked, our internal world can do just as much damage.
