In this episode, you'll learn:
How healthy distractions can help you overcome addictions 
The best NA alternatives 
The science behind hangovers and Chris’s hangover prevention tip
How to Green Light your team
Happy (day after) Saint Patty’s Day! 
Well, depending on how you celebrate, you may be feeling more hungover than happy…  
The St. Patrick’s Day tradition began as a feast held in remembrance of St. Patrick on the anniversary of his death, March 17th. However, this day fell within the Christian tradition of Lent, but to honor the patron saint of Ireland, they were permitted to forgo their Lenten restrictions on food and alcohol consumption on this day, which has caused excessive drinking to become permanently linked to the celebration.
Some people can drink with no issues, but many others have a little voice in the back of their minds saying, “Maybe it's time for something to change.” Today, Chris and Mathew are joined by Janay Oakland and Abbie Boudreau, co-founders of Teetotally Lifestyle, to empower you to listen to that voice and give you some tools that can make your journey into sobriety or mindful drinking a little easier. Teetotally Lifestyle is a modern lifestyle choice for people who are mindful drinkers like Janay and Chris, fully sober like Abbie and Mathew, or sober curious like you may be. Abbie and Janay both open up about what their relationships with alcohol were like before, why they made a change, and what their lives are like now. 
In this episode, we get real about why so many people feel like they have to drink, healthy replacements and distractions to help you stay on track, and how to handle social situations dominated by alcohol. Chris outlines why alcohol makes you pee so often as well as the short- and long-term impacts drinking has on our bodies. He also helps us understand the science behind what causes hangovers and gives us great advice on how to avoid them. Once we are done talking about the green beer, Mathew gives us a crash course on how to green light your group, whether that's a sports team, a group of friends, a family, or coworkers. It’s all about executing the fundamentals flawlessly, being there for each other, communicating nonstop, and unemotionally holding each other accountable. To wrap up, we talk about our “never again” drinks, and we hear how Kiwi Strawberry Snapple got Chris arrested on prom night.

In this episode, you'll learn:
What is Human Design and how can it help you?
How to determine your Type and Profile and what they say about you
The physical side effects of not speaking your truth
A forgiveness exercise you can do right now
What do you get when you combine astrology, the chakra system, the I Ching, and Kabbalah? Today, Allison Cullen, host of the You Do Woo Podcast, gives us a crash course on the answer: Human Design. 
In this week's episode, 5/2 generator Mathew and 1/4 manifesting generator Chris go deep with Allison on their Human Design charts, how manifestation works, and what to do with regrets that are holding us back.
The Human Design experiment was founded almost 40 years ago, and Alison describes it as “kind of like the Myers-Briggs personality system... turned woo-woo.” Human Design is all about getting you out of your head, into your body, and tapping into the intuition of your higher self. Rather than making decisions with your logical brain, Human Design encourages you to get into your body, listen to the wisdom your body has, and trust it to make decisions for you. Human Design empowers you to unlearn societal norms that don’t serve you in living your best life and gives you a way to explain how you energetically relate to other people and the world as a whole. Remember, Human Design is an experiment, and Allison encourages you to take what works for you, what feels good, and leave what doesn't.
