    The Treasure of Surrender Finding Peace in a Noisy World

    What if the thing you are searching for is not something you need to add but something you need to release. In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Dr. Micol Neey sits down with Treasure to explore what it really means to slow down, let go, and reconnect with who you are at your core. Treasure shares her journey through trauma, success, and ultimately a profound spiritual awakening that led her to step away from everything she had built. Despite years of experience in yoga, mindfulness, and healing practices, she found herself asking a question so many of us quietly carry. Why do I still feel like something is missing. What followed was a radical decision to stop doing and start listening. Through stillness, silence, and surrender, she discovered a level of peace and clarity that reshaped how she lives, works, and shows up in the world today. This episode offers a refreshing and honest look at the tension between busyness and being. It highlights how identity, expectations, and constant motion can pull us away from ourselves and how intentional stillness can guide us back. You will hear what it really looks like to step away from the noise, the difference between calming the mind and true surrender, and how bringing that awareness back into everyday life is where the real work begins. This is not about escaping life. It is about learning how to live it with presence, purpose, and a deeper sense of connection. Why This Episode Matters In a world that rewards constant movement, this conversation is a reminder that clarity, healing, and peace are often found in stillness. For anyone feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in the cycle of doing, this episode offers a new perspective on what it means to truly come home to yourself. Guest Spotlight Treasure is a mindfulness and spiritual practitioner who has spent nearly three decades exploring the path of awakening and self discovery. After years of teaching and leading in the wellness space, she stepped away from it all to reconnect with her true self through stillness and surrender.

    From Burnout to Breakthrough The Power of Breathwork

    What if one of the most powerful tools for healing was something you already do every single day? In this episode, Dr. Micol Neely sits down with Dr. Cory Ostroot, a Naturopathic Physician, to explore the transformative power of breathwork and how it can reset the mind and body without medication. After experiencing severe health challenges during medical school, including weight loss, autoimmune issues, and chronic stress, Dr. Cory discovered that true healing goes far beyond traditional medicine. His journey led him to breathwork practices that ultimately changed his life. Together, they break down how breathwork works, why it is so effective for stress, trauma, and mental clarity, and how it can create profound shifts similar to plant medicine experiences without the use of substances. This conversation also dives into the science behind breathwork, including how it helps regulate the nervous system, quiet the analytical mind, and access deeper parts of the subconscious for emotional and physical healing. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply curious about natural healing methods, this episode offers a powerful introduction to breathwork as a tool for transformation. Because sometimes the most profound healing does not come from adding something new. It comes from learning how to use what has been within you all along.

    The Real Reason You Keep Getting Injured

    Welcome back to Sassy & Strong with Dr. Micol where we talk about real ways to move better, feel stronger, and live healthier. Today’s episode is all about something that impacts almost everyone at some point. Movement, muscle, and why your pain might not be what you think it is. I’m joined by Dr. Jarryd Leung, whose journey into this work is anything but typical. Growing up playing competitive sports and dealing with serious injuries year after year, including broken legs, torn muscles, and surgeries, he experienced firsthand what it feels like to be on the other side of care. And that experience shaped everything. Instead of just following a traditional path, Jarryd built a philosophy around something deeper. Not just temporary relief, but long-term change. In this conversation, we break down what that really looks like. Why quick fixes do not work Why adjustments alone are not enough And why true healing requires a shift in habits, not just treatments One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is simple but powerful. If your only goal is to get out of pain, there are plenty of short-term solutions. But if your goal is to stay active, move well, and actually live your life, the approach has to be different. We talk about how Jarryd works with clients, starting with something most people do not expect. A conversation. Before anything else, he focuses on understanding what someone actually wants to get back to. Running, playing sports, working out, or simply keeping up with their kids or grandkids. From there, everything becomes personalized. Because no two bodies and no two goals are the same. We also dive into one of the most common issues people deal with. Back pain. And here is the truth most people are not told. There is no single cause. Back pain is complex. It can come from lack of movement, poor strength, stress, sleep, or even lifestyle habits. It is rarely just one thing. And that is exactly why those quick social media fixes often fall short. In this episode, we unpack: Why being sedentary is one of the biggest contributors to pain The importance of strength training especially as you age Why runners need more than just running to stay injury free How muscle mass protects your body long term What it actually means to meet physical activity guidelines And why building capacity is the key to avoiding injuries One of the most eye-opening moments is the conversation around capacity. Your body has to be prepared for what you are asking it to do. If you are trying to run long distances without the strength to support it, your body will eventually break down. Not because something is wrong, but because it is not prepared. This episode also highlights something many people overlook. Pain does not always come from where you feel it. Knee pain, back pain, or shoulder pain can often be the result of weakness or imbalance somewhere else in the body. Which is why individualized care matters so much. There is no one-size-fits-all plan. If you are tired of quick fixes, frustrated with recurring pain, or ready to actually understand your body and move better, this episode will shift the way you think about health and fitness. Because at the end of the day, muscle is not just about how you look. It is about how you live. And the stronger you are, the better your life becomes.
