    I Spent 340 Days in Space! Here's What I Learned About Life: Astronaut Scott Kelly

    Today, you’re going to learn what it really takes to become the person you want to be. In this episode, we sit down with astronaut, engineer, author, and former commander of the International Space Station, Scott Kelly. But this conversation isn’t really about space. It’s about resilience. It’s about overcoming the identities that hold you back. And it’s about learning how to stay calm, focused, and hopeful when life gets hard. Because Scott Kelly wasn’t always the person you see today. He struggled in school. He doubted himself. He felt stuck. Then one book changed the trajectory of his life and set him on a path that would eventually take him 250 miles above Earth and keep him in space for 340 days. In this conversation, Scott shares what it’s really like to live and work in one of the most extreme environments imaginable, what happens to your mind and body when you’re isolated from everyone you love, and the lessons he learned that all of us can apply right here on Earth. You’ll learn: - How to stop defining yourself by who you’ve been in the past - Why perseverance matters more than talent - Hacks to stay calm and focused during stressful situations - The powerful mindset astronauts use when things go wrong - What spending nearly a year in space taught Scott about happiness, purpose, and resilience - The surprising physical effects of living in space for months at a time If you’ve ever doubted yourself, felt stuck, struggled with failure, or wondered whether you’re capable of more than you think, this episode will change the way you see yourself. Because as Scott’s story proves, the person you become is not determined by where you start. It’s determined by what you choose to do next.

    Navy SEAL: The SECRET to Staying Calm When Everything Feels Out of Control! Rich Diviney

    Prepare to unlock the key to staying calm under pressure, never spiraling in uncertainty, and building real confidence - even when life feels overwhelming. If you constantly overthink the future…If you feel stuck, anxious, or frozen when life gets uncertain…If you struggle with confidence, fear of failure, or stepping outside your comfort zone…If you feel overwhelmed by big goals and don’t know where to start… This conversation will completely change the way you think about fear, resilience, leadership, and what it actually means to be mentally strong. Joining Mercedes and Anastasia today is Rich Diviney. Rich is a former Navy SEAL commander, bestselling author, and founder of The Attributes, a company designed to help individuals and teams perform at their highest level under pressure. Rich spent more than 20 years as a Navy SEAL, operating in some of the highest-stakes environments imaginable. But what makes his perspective so powerful is this: he says the people who perform best under pressure are not necessarily the most talented or fearless. They’ve simply trained themselves to think differently. In this episode, Rich explains the neuroscience behind stress, fear, uncertainty, confidence, and performance - and shares practical tools you can use to stay grounded and focused when life gets hard. He also brings us into Navy SEAL training, explaining the difference between physical vs mental strength, and how Navy SEALs train their mindsets for extreme missions. Rich shares one of the most powerful concepts Navy SEALs use called “moving horizons” - a simple strategy that helps you stop spiraling and regain control when everything feels overwhelming. Prepare to learn: - How Navy SEALs train their mindsets (a peek into Navy SEAL training!) - The Navy SEAL strategy that helps you stop spiraling under pressure - How to stop procrastinating and finally take the first step toward your goals - Why doing hard things literally changes your brain - How to handle uncertainty without letting it control your life - The hidden habits that build trust + the behaviours that quietly destroy it This is not a conversation about becoming fearless. It’s about becoming the kind of person who can keep moving forward even when life feels uncertain.

    Nutrition Lies You’ve Been Told + What’s Actually True! Dr. Jessica Knurick

    YOU need to hear this. If you’ve ever felt confused about food, overwhelmed by health advice online, or guilty every time you eat something “unhealthy,” you need to hit play. Because the truth is: nutrition has become way more complicated than it needs to be. And today’s episode is going to change that. In this conversation, Mercedes and Anastasia sit down with Dr. Jessica Knurick - a nutrition scientist, registered dietitian, and one of the most trusted voices online when it comes to cutting through health misinformation. Dr. Knurick specializes in chronic disease prevention and public health, but what makes her work so powerful is this: she doesn’t believe health should be driven by fear. This is not another conversation about “good” foods and “bad” foods. It’s a conversation about balance.About stress.About the systems shaping the way we eat.And about how to actually take care of yourself. In this episode, Dr. Knurick explains why social media has made so many people afraid of food, why “superfoods” are mostly marketing, and why health has a lot more to do with consistency than perfection. You’ll also learn: - What you actually need to be doing for better health - Why nutrition matters even if you’re not an athlete - How to spot misinformation online - The truth about sugar, seed oils, supplements, and ultra-processed foods - Why so many people feel healthier in Europe - How parents can help their kids build a healthy relationship with food But most importantly, this episode will help you stop obsessing over every little thing you eat. Because health doesn’t come from fear.It comes from what you do consistently. And by the end of this conversation, you’ll feel calmer, clearer, and way more confident about what actually matters when it comes to your health.
