Join me as I sit down with Natalia Lazarus, a woman who is truly redefining resilience and self-discovery.

Natalia is a working mom of two teenagers, an ultra-distance runner, a health coach with The Lazarus Method, and a fitness instructor. She’s also the author of The Inner Race, a powerful book guiding women through midlife by helping them reconnect with their inner spark through meaningful challenge.

And speaking of challenge, Natalia is currently preparing for The Great World Race, where she’ll run seven marathons, in seven days, on seven continents this November.

In this episode, we dive into her inspiring journey of pushing limits, finding purpose through movement, and using mindset as a tool for transformation.

Whether you’re navigating midlife, feeling stuck, or just need a motivational boost, this conversation will remind you that your next chapter can be your most powerful one yet.

Tune in now and get ready to be inspired to chase your version of greatness.

Join me for a powerful conversation with two inspiring women - Dr. Kamile Lim and Dr. Nashwa Aziz Elrashidy, co-founders of Diablo Dental Group in Danville, California. These rockstar dentists are not only known for delivering exceptional dental care, but also for their deep commitment to giving back.

What sets them apart is their passion for making a difference beyond the dental chair. Through community partnerships, school sponsorships, and charitable initiatives, they are actively investing in their community - organizing donation drives, supporting women’s shelters, and funding local education programs. Their practice is rooted in the belief that generosity and service are essential to building stronger, healthier communities.

In this episode, we dive into the story behind Diablo Dental Group, what inspired their philanthropic mission, and of course, their expert advice on how to keep your smile healthy and bright.

In this episode, I am honored to sit down with Christopher Helfrich, the President and CEO of the Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation, a nonprofit founded by Stephen and Ayesha Curry with a mission to unlock the potential of every child.

For the past five years, Eat. Learn. Play. has made an incredible impact in Oakland and beyond, investing over $72 million to support kids and families. Their work includes delivering more than 25 million meals to fight childhood hunger, investing over $6 million in literacy programs, revitalizing more than 17 school and community play spaces, and so much more.

Christopher shares how his team is tackling systemic issues to end childhood hunger, improve education, and create safe spaces for kids to play and how we can all be part of the solution. His journey is a testament to the power of innovation, collaboration, and community in driving real, lasting change. Before leading Eat. Learn. Play., Christopher built a remarkable career as a social entrepreneur and nonprofit leader — all while balancing life as a husband and father.

Tune in for an inspiring conversation and discover how you, too, can help shape a better future for kids everywhere.
