The Beauty in the Mess

*This episode has some sexually explicit content and is not intended for children to listen to.* For this episode, I am very excited to welcome Dr. Heather Browne to the show. Dr. Browne is a widow who grew up with a paranoid schizophrenic mother who ended up taking her own life while Dr. Browne was still very young. She was able to learn from her mom that none of us share the same reality even though we believe we do. This has allowed her to transform communication within self and within all other types of relationships. She feels this is the key to acceptance. Dr. Browne has a doctorate in psychology and is an active psychotherapist for couples. She is published in hundreds of journals. She has been featured on TV and published in many magazines as well. She has two books in the final stages of pre-publication and she just did her first Ted Talk on September 23rd of this year. Connect with Sam Mitchell:Website Let's Connect!Facebook: The Beauty in the Mess podcast InstagramWebsite

I am excited to welcome Fitz Koehler to The Beauty In the Mess. Fitz is on a mission to help people become fit before they hear a horrible diagnosis or something bad happens. She speaks about the 4 pillars of fitness, proficiency, strength, cardiovascular fitness, flexibility and balance that people need to become truly fit as well as many other topics.

In 2019, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and her healthy and athletic body was brutalized by 15 months of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgeries. Instead of slowing down, she turned up the volume on her career. As a cancer crusher, she written books called my Noisy Cancer Comeback, Your Healthy Cancer Comeback: Sick to Strong, and a Healthy Cancer Comeback Journal. Fitz is a busy keynote speaker, a professional race announcer, and, of course, a prominent fitness expert. Her company, Fitzness International, that she created from her passion to help others become fit, has a global reach, and she’s conquered every avenue of mass media to help people live better and longer. She has a master’s degree in Exercise and Sport Sciences and decades of experience teaching fitness worldwide.

She also counsels couples and helps people find and live their God-given purpose. We focus on behavioral change and the additional ingredients necessary for long term change as well.
