"Mind over matter" is a phrase that many of us have heard at various times. This phrase is usually in reference to utilizing our minds to self-regulate in moments when situations or events seem out of our control. Our minds have the innate ability to drive us to achieve amazing things, while at the same time being an unrelenting critic that can bring our progression to a screeching halt.

Helping her clients to master their mindset to perform at the highest level is the calling of my guest, Elizabeth Louis. She specializes in performance, trauma, & crisis therapy, group psychoeducation, and mental health coaching. Having gone through therapy herself to overcome traumatic experiences in her life, she gets it. She leverages neuropsychology but walks along that path with you as therapy is so much more than what happens for a shorter time period in a room. She also hosts mental health boot camps, online courses, a mental health podcast, a blog, and so much more to help you become the best possible while making the impossible possible.

Beer, wine, whiskey, bourbon, vodka, rum, tequila, and gin represent most of the traditional alcohol consumed in this country, either straight or as a key ingredient in our favorite cocktail. However, there is a whole other spirits category that is Japan's greatest secret. It is not sake, but rather an incredibly diverse spirit named sochu. On this episode I speak with Christopher Pellegrini, who started out brewing American beer in Vermont and now lives in Japan where his mission is to pull back the curtain on this type of spirit - for the world's enjoyment!

Christopher Pellegrini cut his teeth in alcohol as a teen brewer at Otter Creek Brewing Company in Middlebury, Vermont. He discovered shochu and awamori after moving to Tokyo while he was a full-time professor at Waseda University. In 2014, he published the first ever English language guide to shochu and awamori, The Shochu Handbook. He also contributed to The Oxford Companion to Spirits & Cocktails, published in 2021. Christopher launched Honkaku Spirits in March 2020 (great timing, huh?) with the mission of bringing intensely artisanal Japanese spirits to discerning consumers worldwide. He also co-hosts two podcasts focused on the education of Japanese spirits: Japan Distilled and Sake on Air. Fluent in English and Japanese (conversational in Spanish and Korean), Christopher’s contribution to increasing global knowledge of Japanese spirits continues to shape opinion on this burgeoning category.

When I grow up, I am going to be.....or do..... Do you remember saying that when you were younger? Do you remember what those dreams were? And maybe life has moved in fast motion as you took care of what you needed to. But what if you could still do what you wanted to do, but are scared or stuck?

My next guest, Kelsey Knutson, was that person until she got unstuck and started taking messy action. Now she helps others do the same. 
The 9-5 life just wasn’t for her, so she started a business…
and struggled to figure out what was for her. She has worked in many industries and has launched multiple businesses. But most importantly, she's constantly reassessing her “why” and using that as a guiding force in how she makes decisions.

Now she helps her clients pursue their passions as well!
