    26. Come Home to Yourself at Tierra Encantada with Anne Bernard

    Anne Bernard was trained extensively both abroad and domestically in the Naturopathic health field. She attended the Xavier Bichat Medical School in Paris, and later received a Naturopathic Degree from the Ecole d’Enseignement Superieur de Naturopathie du Quebec in Montreal. Anne received her Acupuncture license following graduation in 2006 from the well respected Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine College in Berkeley. She is well known for her nurturing approach and gentle touch with needles.Anne is passionate about being informed on new developments and technology; she always uses them personally first to assess their value, so she brings a wealth of experience and realistic expectations to her clients.   About Tierra Encantada A few years ago, Daniel and Anne, husband and wife, stumbled upon this enchanting land following a transformative plant medicine retreat. The beginning of a remarkable journey was sparked following a serendipitous encounter with a medicine woman in Nosara who introduced them to the previous owner of the land. Captivated by the wild raw beauty of the property and its secluded setting, offering a perfect blend of tranquility and closeness to the pristine beaches of Nosara, they instantly felt like they had found their home away from home.   Driven by their deep love for nature and their shared dream of creating a harmonious sanctuary where natural living and Pacha Mama could coexist, Dan’s lifelong experience in the construction industry and Anne’s 30+ years in the world of healing and holistic health intertwined beautifully. Collaborating on every aspect of the endeavor, they poured their hearts into designing and constructing this oasis, infusing it with their shared passion and respective expertise. Mindful of the delicate ecosystem surrounding them and committed to preserving its natural beauty, they approached the development process with a steadfast dedication to sustainability.    Every choice in architecture and construction was made with the environment in mind, ensuring that their creation became a cozy and eco-friendly home where nature and comfort blend seamlessly.   Connect with Anne and Tierra Encantada Website: Instagram:

    25. Unity Games with Wes Piatt

    Wes Piatt is the owner of Coast Range CrossFit in Gilroy, CA. He is a veteran athlete who’s participated in the CrossFit Games as well as the NorCal and SoCal Regionals. When he began CrossFit in 2009, admittedly, it wasn’t an easy feat. "The first workout I did while on deployment overseas was 'Filthy Fifty.' I couldn’t even get through the double-unders! I threw my jump rope across the room in frustration and fell in love all at the same time. I did that workout every day for two weeks until I was able to finish it." Wes is a prime example of what you can accomplish if you don’t give up. Today, he holds certificates in CrossFit Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3, as well as being a part of the CrossFit HQ Seminar Staff. As a coach, he uses his own training experiences to inspire his members. So, listen, learn, and watch what happens.   Certifications: CrossFit HQ Seminar Staff CrossFit HQ Level 1 Advisory Board Member CrossFit Level 1 CrossFit Level 2 CrossFit Level 3   About Coast Range CrossFit Coast Range CrossFit is the most fun box around, period.

    21. Rising Above All Hair Insecurity with ARC Founder Sabrina Storozuk

    Sabrina Storozuk is a tech entrepreneur who has made significant strides in modernizing traditional industries through technological innovation. Her expertise lies in identifying and transforming barriers and gaps into powerful opportunities.    With a background that includes various tech ventures of her own, solution services as well as tech innovation consulting at PWC, she has led transformative projects in various global markets from small startups to large Fortune 500 firms.    Her latest venture, ARC, is a blend of her technological acumen and her commitment to women's hair health.    ARC is pioneering a new approach to headbands, elevating them beyond their conventional use. In this conversation we talk about the impact of hair insecurity and why Sabrina is revolutionizing the headband market with her new venture ARC and the ARC headband. According to a study conducted at Yale University, ``bad hair days'' are real -- the perception of bad hair actually produces negative consequences beyond not feeling good about how one looks. According to the study, directed by Dr. Marianne LaFrance, Professor of Psychology and Professor of Women's and Gender Studies at Yale University, ``bad hair days'' affect individuals' self-esteem increasing self-doubt, intensifying social insecurities, and becoming more self-critical in general. The study further found that bad hair intensifies feelings of social insecurity and self-consciousness. However, the psychological reactions differed among women and men. Women tend to feel more disgraced, embarrassed, ashamed or self-conscious when experiencing bad hair.  Evidence shows that bad hair causes one to be more negative about oneself. Specifically, results indicate that a ``bad hair day'' leads individuals to find more personal character flaws that go beyond their appearance. When asked to complete a list of statements about who they are, ``bad hair'' caused people to mention significantly more negative traits and attributes.
