    The Hit You're Chasing: Wine, Work, Scrolling: What Your Cravings Are Really Telling You

    That glass of wine you can't wait to pour. The inbox you check before your feet hit the floor. The scroll that eats an hour you swore you didn't have. What if the thing you keep reaching for is actually trying to tell you something? In this episode of Another Million Miles, Danielle Keasling sits down with Heather Simco, life and business transformation coach, founder of Complete Concierge Solutions, and creator of the Sober Boss Babe Movement. With 12 years of sobriety and more than 26 years as an entrepreneur, Heather shares the raw story of building an empire, losing herself inside it, and the middle-of-the-night surrender that changed everything. But this conversation goes far beyond alcohol. Heather and Danielle unpack why you don't have to be an addict to be addicted — and how high-achieving women in particular swap one "hit" for another: work, extreme diets, social media, even productivity itself. In this episode: The question that reveals whether a habit has quietly become a coping mechanism Heather's "play the tape" technique for rewiring cravings before they win Why drinking culture is woven into business and networking — and how to show up confident without it The hidden cost of running ragged: what burnout really takes from your business, your team, and your relationships How to build a life where self-care matches your ambition, so success doesn't come crashing down Whether you're sober, sober-curious, or simply wondering why you can't stop reaching for that one thing — this conversation will help you trade the quick hit for real clarity, alignment, and self-trust.

    Burnout Is a Lie — It's Drift. How to Reclaim Direction in 7 Minutes a Day | Dr. Cynthia Benson Mercer

    Here's the full description: She had the C-suite title. The 30-year career. The credentials. And then at almost 56 years old, on one ordinary day, it was all gone. In this episode of Another Million Miles, host Danielle Keasling sits down with Dr. Cynthia Benson Mercer — board-certified executive coach, human capital strategist, bestselling author, and creator of the Stop Drifting framework — for one of the most honest and practical conversations about why high-achieving women silently lose themselves long before they ever hit rock bottom. Here's the truth nobody is saying out loud: you didn't burn out overnight. You drifted. And there's a difference. What you'll hear in this episode: Why burnout is actually the result of drift — and how to catch it before it catches you The 5 P's of human flourishing: Purpose, Prosperity, People, Potential & Physiological health — and how ignoring even one quietly destroys the rest The 7-Minute Pivot — a daily practice backed by neuroscience that takes less time than doom scrolling and can literally change the direction of your life Why the most ambitious, high-performing women are actually the most at risk for drift — and it has nothing to do with weakness How Dr. Cynthia was eliminated from her C-suite role at 56, single and starting over — and why she was ready What a breast cancer diagnosis at 41 taught her about asking for help Why asking for help isn't a weakness — it's actually your most underrated leadership skill How to stop waiting to be "tapped" and start building your next chapter today, while still doing your day job with excellence If you've ever felt like you're moving fast but going nowhere, this episode is your wake-up call. 🌐 Connect with Dr. Cynthia: dr-cynthia.com

    Perimenopause, Burnout & Reinvention: How Nandita Mahadevan Rebuilt Her Life Through Hormones, Healing & Intentional Living

    What happens when the life you worked decades to build suddenly stops feeling aligned? In this deeply honest and empowering episode of Another Million Miles, Danielle Keasling sits down with entrepreneur and SolWomen founder Nandita Mahadevan to unpack the hidden realities of perimenopause, hormone imbalance, burnout recovery, identity shifts, and what it truly means to reinvent yourself in midlife. After spending 25 years climbing the corporate ladder, building companies, raising children, and checking every box society told her would create happiness, Nandita found herself exhausted, emotionally depleted, disconnected from her body, and silently struggling through perimenopause. What followed became a complete transformation. Together, Danielle and Nandita explore: • The real symptoms of perimenopause most women ignore • Why traditional medicine often misses hormone-related struggles • The connection between cortisol, stress, weight gain, brain fog, and burnout • Nervous system regulation and why it changes everything • Functional medicine, hormone optimization, and midlife wellness • Why women in their 40s often experience a powerful personal rebirth • The importance of boundaries, community, sisterhood, and intentional living • Rebuilding life, relationships, and purpose after burnout This conversation is vulnerable, educational, empowering, and deeply validating for high performing women navigating change, healing, and self rediscovery. Because your best life isn’t behind you. It’s waiting for you to finally choose yourself. Follow Another Million Miles for more conversations around intentional living, burnout recovery, nervous system regulation, wellness, confidence, mindset, beauty, and self concept.

    How to Repair Your Skin Barrier: Hydration That Works + Fish Oil vs Astaxanthin (Lily Shapiro, PharmD)

    If your skin still feels dry, reactive, or “stressed” even though you’re doing all the right things—this episode will bring the clarity you’ve been missing. I’m joined by Lily Shapiro, PharmD—a pharmacist and founder of ATIKA—who’s built a reputation for translating the science of skin aging, barrier biology, oxidative stress, and skin nutrition into practical guidance that actually works in real life. Lily doesn’t just talk trends; she explains the why behind what your skin is doing and what to change so you can see results. In our conversation, Lily breaks down what hydration truly means: it’s not just adding water—it’s strengthening your skin barrier so your skin can hold moisture. We also talk about how “over-optimizing” (sauna, red light, stacking too many protocols) can quietly backfire, and what a smarter, more sustainable approach looks like if your goal is calm, resilient, glowing skin. Then we go into one of my favorite questions: if you could take one supplement for life, what would it be? Lily explains why it comes down to fish oil vs astaxanthin, what each supports, and how to think about choosing the right one for your skin and longevity goals. In this episode, you’ll learn: The biggest misconceptions about hydration and why barrier health comes first How to tell if your routine is helping your skin—or stressing it out Why skin longevity is an “inside-out” conversation (not just topical products) Fish oil vs astaxanthin: what to consider before you choose Simple priorities that support stronger, more hydrated, more resilient skin Hosted by Danielle Keasling on Another Million Miles Podcast.
