    Family First, Fairway Forever: The Michael Block Mindset

    "I literally started writing 'why not' on my golf balls—because I'd get over a shot and start to self-doubt. Why can you not hit this shot, Block? No one's going to tackle you. The ball's not going to move. It's 100% up to me." — Michael Block In this episode, Nathalie sits down with her longtime friend and golf professional, Michael Block. Michael’s life changed overnight at age 46 when he made a hole in one on the 15th hole at Oak Hill during the final round of the 2023 PGA Championship  while playing alongside world-ranked PGA Pro Rory McIlroy.  Michael opens up about the winding road that got him there including meeting the love of his life, walking away from pro aspirations to make ends meet, putting his clubs away for eight years to provide for his growing, young family, and the mindset that kept him going when everything else said stop. He also shares what it felt like to go from 5,000 Instagram followers to 270,000 in three days and why he still feels like he's dreaming. A club champion, amateur tournament winner, and teaching professional, Michael made international headlines when he competed in the PGA Championship at Oak Hill, finishing in contention alongside the world's top-ranked players. Since his breakthrough moment, he has become part of the Good Good Golf YouTube community, collaborated with TaylorMade, and has set his sights on qualifying for the Champions Tour (Senior Tour) as he approaches 50. What we explore in this episode: (07:56) Winning his first major amateur tournament out of nowhere—and what it revealed (11:36) The mental game of golf and what freezing over a putt can teach you about life (15:57) Going from 5,000 to 270,000 Instagram followers in three days, plus the surprising DM from Michael Jordan (19:19) What he'd do all over again—and why a difficult first marriage was the best thing that happened to him (23:04) Making $12.50 an hour, credit card debt, and a baby on the way: the real story of those early years (33:44) Good Good Golf, growing the game, and what he tells young players who want to follow his path (33:56) Michael’s parting message to the world: “Don't give up.

    Joy Mining, Breast Cancer, IVF & the Fertility Miracle Named Chance: Sarrah Strimel-Bentley on Living Out Loud

    "Mine your joy. Not in this toxic positivity way, but mine your joy. Life is gonna keep lifeing. But there always is, I promise you, joy through those times." — Sarrah Strimel Bentley Sarrah Strimel-Bentley is a former Broadway performer, women's health advocate, yoga entrepreneur, and founder of A Chance for Life, a nonprofit that funds the full surrogacy journey for breast cancer survivors. Diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer at 38, Sarah navigated chemo, a double mastectomy, ovarian removal, and two rounds of IVF before ultimately welcoming her son Chance via surrogate. Known for her trademark concept of "joy mining," Sarah has built a life around turning toward pain rather than away from it and helping others do the same. In this raw, joyful, and deeply moving conversation, Sarah bares all: growing up as a self-described perfectionist who secretly battled anorexia, building and closing yoga studios, finding the love of her life at 38, and discovering a walnut-sized lump in her breast while walking her  dog nine  months later. Sarah shares how the muscle she built on Broadway, tenacity, resilience, the ability to pivot, is the same muscle that carried her through breast cancer treatment, the IVF journey, and her surrogacy journey. She also opens up about 120 days of sobriety, writing her memoir-in-progress, and why right now, in this season of life with a two-year-old, that is more than enough. What we explore in this episode: (00:48) How Sarah wants people to feel after spending 10 minutes with her and the origin of "joy mining" (07:47) The yoga practice that saved her body, healed her eating disorder, and prepared her for the fight of her life (17:21) Confronting a changing body after breast cancer — and not forecasting the worst (24:47) The dog walk that changed everything: finding   a ump and advocating for her health  (30:44) Life after diagnosis: why she'd tell her former self, "You did it right, sister" (45:38) A Chance for Life: the nonprofit born from her $150K IVF and surrogacy journey (48:48) Sobriety, survivorship, and what it really means to start all over again (54:07) Parting words: mine your joy, build your community, and keep going Connect with Sarrah: @SarrahStrimelBentley on IG A Chance for Life Foundation Connect with Nathalie: AllOverAgainPodcast.com @AllOverAgainPodcast LinkedIn

    They Said It Was Terminal. Kiley Durham - Castricone Beat Breast Cancer, Brain Surgery, Complications, and the Odds.

    "We don't have control of the number of days we are on this planet. We should embrace it, love it, and live it the way we want to be remembered." — Kiley Durham - Castricone Kiley Durham is an artist and designer turned breast cancer advocate whose story is nothing short of extraordinary. At 21, Kiley moved to New York City for a fashion internship and never left — going on to work with renowned designer Kay Unger, heading the evening design department, and building a career in fashion design and jewelry consulting. In 2017, three months after the birth of her second child, a lump that doctors initially attributed to mastitis turned out to be stage three triple negative breast cancer. What followed was a years-long battle that included a bilateral mastectomy, brain surgery, a rare and often times fatal cancer complication called leptomeningeal disease, a breast cancer recurrence, and a total of six years on treatment. Today, Kiley dubbed by her physicians as “a unicorn,” is two and a half years cancer free, enjoying motherhood, and channeling her experience into advocacy work with the Breast Cancer Alliance and the YWCA. In this deeply moving episode, Kiley shares the full arc of her cancer journey, from the discovery of breast cancer, to the moment she blacked out in her New York City apartment and woke up to the news of a brain tumor diagnosis, to the devastating conversation with a doctor who had tears in his eyes as he gave her  the prognosis of LMD. Kiley also reflects on how to support others with a cancer diagnosis, and the collateral damage of cancer — surgical menopause at 37, osteoporosis, brain fog, and the emotional toll on her family — and why, despite everything, she would do it all over again. What we explore in this episode: (08:35) The breast cancer diagnosis that came three months after her daughter was born (10:03) Emergency brain surgery: waking up with 30 staples and a walnut-sized tumor (27:32) The rare diagnosis Kiley received with a three-month prognosis (35:07) The immunotherapy that changed everything and has given Kiley two and a half years cancer free (40:11) A second breast cancer diagnosis in 2021 and six years of continuous treatment (52:12) How Kiley grieves the person she was before cancer Connect with Kiley:  @kdurham_artanddesign on Instagram  Website Breast Cancer Alliance Cycle for Survival Connect with Nathalie: AllOverAgainPodcast.com @AllOverAgainPodcast LinkedIn

    "When you're going through something really hard, it's so easy to feel like that is just going to be the way it is for the rest of your life, forever and ever.

In this deeply honest conversation, Laura shares what it means to survive layered loss, how she ignored rectal bleeding for over a year while pregnant and postpartum, and why she is now one of the most important voices in colorectal cancer awareness for young women.  What we explore in this episode: (01:02) Why a "boring" day is now Laura's greatest gift  (06:58) Her first relationship at 35 and the shame she carried for years  (15:52) Layered grief: losing both fathers within months of each other  (20:34) The one and only embryo that became their daughter  (24:53) The rectal bleeding she ignored — and what it turned out to be  (31:03) The colonoscopy that changed everything  (37:41) Stage 3B rectal cancer with a seven-month-old at home  (41:44) Radiation, chemo, surgery, and her husband's unforgettable words  (49:50) What every woman needs to know about colorectal cancer right now  (54:39) Why colonoscopies are life-saving and what to do before your next bathroom visit  (58:11) How a cancer diagnosis redefined success, work, and being present  Connect with Laura: @LauraBBehnke on IG Life Actually Substack The Life Actually podcast Connect with Nathalie: AllOverAgainPodcast.com @AllOverAgainPodcast LinkedIn

    The Courage to Opt Out: Dr. Flora Sinha on Burnout, Boundaries, and Brave Pivots

    "Do not be afraid to invest in yourself, whether that is investing time or money, because you have an idea, or because you want to grow." - Dr. Flora Sinha Dr. Flora Sinha is an LA-based board-certified internal medicine physician, and mindset coach. She is known for integrating her clinical expertise with motivational speaking and coaching, as well as her advocacy for infertility awareness. As a first-generation American raised in a traditional Southeast Asian household, Flora navigated the cultural pressures of checking every box: getting good grades, becoming successful, getting married, having kids, and living happily ever after… only to discover that life doesn't work that way and it was a recipe for burnout. In this deeply personal conversation, Flora opens up about her journey through secondary infertility, the shame and self-blame that came with it, and how mindset coaching transformed not just her approach to fertility treatments but her entire life philosophy. After multiple IVF rounds, transfers, and pregnancy losses, Flora and her husband made the difficult decision to remain a family of three, not out of defeat, but from a place of clarity and peace. Flora shares how approaching this heartbreaking decision logically rather than emotionally gave her the freedom to move forward, and how it inspired her to support other women navigating burnout and perfectionism. This episode will remind you why investing in yourself is the most important work you'll ever do. What we explore in this episode: (03:20) Growing up as a first-generation American with immigrant parents (07:32) The shame of secondary infertility: When your body doesn't follow the rules (10:03) When the doctor becomes the patient (47:26) Envying the emotional intelligence we're giving our kids (49:25) Taking a logistical approach to an emotional decision (51:03) Leading with compassion and investing in yourself Connect with Flora: @DrFloraSinha on IG Website The Beyond Podcast Connect with Nathalie: AllOverAgainPodcast.com @AllOverAgainPodcast LinkedIn
