Ep. 109 How I Stopped Overthinking: The Theory That Changed My Life
Ep. 109
•
I’ve given myself an excuse to spend hours researching the topics I wish I knew more about so you don’t need to read a whole book to understand something important.
So I've started with one of the most important things I've researched over the last few years: how to channel your overthinking and make it your superpower.
The episode is only 35 minutes long, so perfect for your morning hot girl walk! Let me know what you think!

A huge thank you to Jemma Sbeg for sharing her wisdom with us for this episode.

Ep.108 The Biohacking Expert: "This is The Secret To A Long & Healthy Life"
53:02||Ep. 108I couldn’t come to LA and not do an episode with a biohacker. Kayla Barnes Lentz is on a mission to live for as long as she can. She’s dedicated her life to optimising her brain health, and works to a very specific schedule to do so. She even owns her own clinic that specialises in ‘longevity medicine’. I’m so fascinated by people like Kayla, and to be totally honest, a little sceptical. But her advice on what we can take into our lives was really simple & accessible. Ever since I started this podcast I wanted to gain new perspectives on what success looks like to a vast array of experts, and biohacking is an extremely male-dominated space, so it was be fascinating to hear Kayla’s perspective.
