ROLL ON: American Tiger, Adventures Abroad, & The Art of Showing Up
Roll On is here! Adam Skolnick and I catch up after a month of nonstop travel. Tokyo for the Track & Field World Championships, New York, and DC multiple times. Big news: Adam announces his debut novel American Tiger—20 years in the making, with the audiobook recorded right here in our studio. Also on tap: my family crisis that required an Ocean's 11-style heist, accidentally crashing the wrong high school reunion, Alex Honnold scaling skyscrapers live on Netflix, the Norwegians sweeping Ironman Nice, and Sean Penn's performance in “One Battle After Another." I get candid about what it means to show up when every button you have is being pushed, generational trauma, and practicing unconditional love. Buckle up!

Emily Harrington is a professional climber who became the first woman to free climb El Capitan's Golden Gate route in under 24 hours, captured in the documentary Girl Climber. This conversation explores her 50-foot fall that nearly ended everything, the eating disorder that almost destroyed her career, and how crying while climbing became her strength. We discuss her innovative double-shoe technique, losing mentor Hilary Nelson while pregnant, and why she calls Mount Everest "Steve." Emily brings radical vulnerability to a sport dominated by the boys' club, proving that showing your breaking points doesn't make you weak, it makes you human. Enjoy!

Psychotherapist John W. Price Unpacks Ancient Wisdom For Modern Healing
Dr. John Price is a depth psychotherapist and co-founder of The Center for Healing Arts & Sciences. This conversation explores why men have 50% fewer friends than twenty years ago, the crisis of modern masculinity, shadow work, and John's concept of "sacred refusal" —honoring the adaptations that once saved us but now destroy us. We discuss why suffering is initiation not pathology, the absence of rites of passage, and how the things we find most uncomfortable often reveal our deepest truths. John turns the therapeutic lens on me throughout—a benign adversary calling out my own resistance to vulnerability. This is medicine for anyone feeling trapped by their current circumstances. Enjoy!

Women's Health Compilation: Leading Experts On All Things Estrogen, Menopause, Fertility, & The Diet That Changes Everything
This Women's Health and Hormones Compilation explores how estrogen regulates brain function, why 86% of mothers lose core strength with no recovery protocol, and the critical timing window for hormone therapy. Featured experts include Dr. Lisa Mosconi (ep. 819), Dr. Robin Berzin (ep. 873), Dr. Neal Barnard (ep. 492), Dr. Gemma Newman (ep. 678), and Dr. Kyle Gillett (ep. 720). We discuss fat cells as hormone producers, the 1993 federal mandate for women's inclusion in research, and the two transformations unique to women—childbirth and menopause. Along the way, we uncover how dietary changes prevented one woman's hysterectomy and reversed another's endometriosis. This is essential listening for understanding women's health. Enjoy!

Olympic Legend Dara Torres: Age-Defying Fitness, Eating Disorders & Protecting The Next Generation of Gold Medal Talent
Dara Torres is a 5-time Olympian, 12-time Olympic medalist, and the oldest swimmer to ever win an Olympic medal at age 41. We explore how she broke American records two years after giving birth, trained only five days a week while beating teenagers, and missed her sixth Olympics by nine-hundredths of a second. We discuss her revolutionary recovery-focused training, battles with bulimia, and why she still can't turn off the competitive switch at 58. Most surprising? The swimming world's indifference to her game-changing methods. Dara redefined athletic longevity. This conversation unpacks how. Enjoy!
