    Is Copper The Secret of Curing Your Fatigue? with Morley Robbins

    In this episode, I am speaking with Morley Robbins about his novel hypothesis that chronic fatigue (and most chronic disease) is caused predominantly by copper dysregulation. This is a fascinating idea that I allow him to explore in depth, while also pushing back a bit at times on the idea that health can be reduced to any kind of simple mineral issue. I think Morley is a fascinating guy with a lot of valuable and novel ideas, and I hope you'll listen in to what he has to say.

    Emily Fletcher on Manifestation, Meditation, and the Power of Desire

    Today, I'm excited to share my conversation with Emily, founder of Ziva Meditation and one of the most insightful teachers I know when it comes to meditation, personal growth, spirituality, and manifestation. One of the central themes of our discussion is the idea that our deepest desires may have more meaning than we realize. Rather than viewing desire as something to suppress or ignore, Emily sees it as a source of guidance. The things we are most drawn toward may reveal important clues about our growth, purpose, and the direction life is inviting us to move. At the same time, she believes meaningful goals often surface unresolved fears, insecurities, and limiting beliefs. Instead of seeing those challenges as roadblocks, Emily views them as invitations to grow. We also explore a fascinating perspective on how reality is shaped. Emily argues that manifestation is happening all the time, whether we're aware of it or not. The thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and assumptions we carry each day may be quietly shaping the experiences we create and attract. Whether or not you consider yourself interested in manifestation, I think you'll find this conversation thought-provoking because it ultimately centers on questions we all wrestle with. In this podcast, Emily and I discuss: Why she believes desire can serve as a powerful catalyst for personal growth The difference between pursuing goals from a place of fulfillment versus a place of lack How meditation may help uncover the beliefs and emotional patterns shaping your reality Why meaningful goals often bring unresolved fears, insecurities, and limiting beliefs to the surface Emily's perspective on spirituality and the importance of connecting with unseen aspects of life The relationship between manifestation, nervous system regulation, and emotional well-being Why self-awareness may be one of the most important ingredients for creating lasting change How meditation and other practices help people access deeper states of awareness The role of presence, intentionality, and emotional resilience in shaping the future Why Emily views manifestation as a powerful tool for transformation rather than simply a method for getting what you want Take the Next Step: Join the Free Magic Maker Live Experience If today's conversation resonates with you and you're tired of feeling like you're pushing uphill to reach your goals, Emily is hosting a free, 3-day live event called Magic Maker. On July 16, 21, and 23, she will be sharing her 4-part formula—a potent blend of ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience—designed to help you dissolve stress at a cellular level and create from a state of alignment rather than burnout.

    Telfer McCognahay: How to Navigate Major Life Changes Without Losing Yourself

    There are moments in life when the old version of you stops working, but the next version hasn't arrived yet. A relationship ends, or a career changes direction. A long-held identity begins to crack. The things that once gave you certainty no longer fit, yet what comes next remains unclear. It's uncomfortable, disorienting, and most people do everything they can to escape it. According to my guest today, those in-between periods may be some of the most important moments of our lives. Today, I'm excited to share my conversation with Telfer McCognahay, founder of Ecotone Academy, whose work focuses on helping people navigate major life transitions and uncover the opportunities hidden within them. Telfer believes that many of us spend years building our lives around what he calls a "provisional identity": our job, accomplishments, social roles, relationships, or other labels we use to explain who we are. The problem is that these identities are often far more fragile than we realize. Growth often requires old stories, outdated coping mechanisms, and limiting identities to fall away so something more authentic can emerge. In this fascinating conversation, we explore what happens when life places us in what Telfer calls an "ecotone": a transition zone between who we have been and who we are becoming.
