    Ep: 33 The Joint that Changed Everything: A Psychotic Episode After Legal Synthetic THC

    What happens when a product that's sold legally ends up changing your life in an instant? In this episode of Trotting Thru Life, Hunter Stinson shares his deeply personal story of experiencing a psychotic episode after smoking a joint containing synthetic THC that was purchased legally from a Tennessee smoke shop. Hunter walks us through the events leading up to that night, the frightening mental and emotional symptoms that followed, and the impact the experience had on his health, relationships, and recovery. Together, we discuss the growing popularity of synthetic cannabinoid products, the misconceptions many people have about products sold legally, and why understanding what you're putting into your body matters. This conversation isn't about fear or judgment—it's about awareness, education, and hearing one person's real-life experience so others can make informed decisions. In This Episode We Discuss:• Hunter's experience with synthetic THC• What happened during his psychotic episode• The challenges of recovery and healing• Why "legal" doesn't always mean risk-free• Questions consumers should ask about products they purchase• Lessons learned from a life-changing experience This is a powerful story of resilience, recovery, and the importance of being informed about what we consume.

    Ep. 32 More Than Pest Control: Creating a Safer, Calmer Home Environment

    What if creating a healthier home had less to do with perfection—and more to do with peace of mind? In this episode of Trotting Thru Life, I sit down with David Dorfman, co-founder of Rodent Stop, to talk about the surprising connection between our home environment, stress levels, and overall wellness. Inspired by recent conversations on the podcast about how our spaces shape our health and habits, David shares how clutter, maintenance issues, food storage, and even small household habits can affect not only rodent prevention—but also our sense of calm, safety, and well-being at home. Unlike traditional pest control approaches that rely heavily on harsh chemicals and temporary fixes, David focuses on sustainable, education-first strategies that empower families, pet owners, and homeowners to create healthier living environments naturally. This conversation goes far beyond rodents. We explore how our homes influence our nervous systems, daily stress, routines, and quality of life—and how small changes can create a home that feels more peaceful, supportive, and aligned with overall wellness. In This Episode, We Talk About: The connection between your home environment and stressSimple ways to create a healthier, calmer living spaceSustainable and family-friendly rodent preventionEveryday habits that may unknowingly attract pestsWhy “home wellness” matters for your overall health🎧 Tune in for practical tips and a fresh perspective on creating a home environment that truly supports your health and peace of mind.

    Ep: 28 Your Home, Your Energy: Creating a Life that Feels Right

    In this episode of Trotting Thru Life, I sit down with real estate expert and author Kim Costa,  to talk about the powerful concept of living in your wheel house—creating a home and life that truly support who you are and where you're going. We dive into her book and the question many people eventually face: Do you stay, go, or renovate? Sometimes our homes no longer reflect our lifestyle, priorities, or stage of life. When that happens, it can create stress, frustration, and even impact our overall well-being. In this conversation, we explore how our living environment influences everything from stress levels to daily habits and emotional health. We also talk about how this concept goes far beyond real estate. The same mindset can apply to other areas of life, including relationships, decluttering, personal growth, and making intentional choices that align with what truly works for you. If you’ve ever felt unsettled in your space, overwhelmed by clutter, or unsure whether your home still fits your life, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on creating an environment that supports your health, happiness, and future.

    Ep. 27: How LENS Neurofeedback Supports the Nervous System

    In this episode of Trotting Thru Life, I sit down with my friend Courtney to talk about LENS therapy, a gentle and unique form of neurofeedback designed to support the brain and nervous system. We dive into what neurofeedback is, how the brain and nervous system impact everything from stress and anxiety to focus and overall wellness, and why many people feel “stuck” in survival mode without even realizing it. Courtney shares how LENS (Low Energy Neurofeedback System) works differently from traditional neurofeedback by using extremely low-energy signals to help the brain reset and move out of chronic stress patterns in a simple, non-invasive way. We also talk about the powerful connection between trauma, the nervous system, and healing, and why supporting the brain can be a missing piece in many wellness journeys. If you’ve been struggling with burnout, anxiety, brain fog, or feeling like your body just won’t respond to the healthy habits you’re trying to build, this conversation may open your eyes to a new and hopeful path forward. Be sure to share this episode with someone who could benefit from learning more about nervous system regulation and brain health.
