Ep. 38 - Let's Get Metaphysical w/ Psychic Medium Chris Medina

Pulling again from our hat of comedians our listeners know and love, we bring on the one, the only, BILLY GRIFFIN. And boy, will you sh*t your pants from laughing so hard, and within in the first minutes no less. We're keepin' things light and a lil cray cray with Billy, a Los Angeles-based comedian, actor, and host, who's been on America's Funniest Home Videos, performs local stand-up, and with the infamous Second City Improv Program in Chicago. Right away we dive into only the most random of everyday thoughts, like "How am I going to pay for my kid's college tuition?", "How did my parents even afford that?", or "Was my father shitting himself in a closet somewhere when he realized how much it cost?" Or if that isn't hitting home for you, Billy opens up about how he went from college football star, moving to Chicago and working shitty recruiting and insurance jobs, and then moving back home. But coincidentally, he won enough money on a game show to move out to Los Angeles and finally pursue comedy. Basically, this is where his comedic journey begins and he explains everything from ... pumping up his crowds getting pre-show jitters no matter how charismatic you are his very first gig all of his comedian friends and their equally funny encounters what it means to be a "Warm Up Guy" for show audiences how dating in LA is like having a JOB - you have to be proactive the fear of grabbing coffee with someone you don't know that well ... dating PET PEEVES the best questions to start dating app convos with    This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Podsights - https://podsights.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

This week we bring on one of our long-time idols and guru for all things motivational, CHRISTINE HASSLER. Basically, she's a personal transformation genius - along with a bestselling author, podcast host, TV show host on TLC, & keynote speaker. She's a go-to mind for seeking clarity in any part of life, whether it's love, relationships, careers, personal goals, and most importantly, the immense change that happens in your 20's and 30's. By the time she was 25, she was the youngest agent in Hollywood, getting promoted, attending all of the award shows, making more money than most people her age, and dating a hot-shot producer. She had it all ... but did she? That's what we dive into. This realization that she wasn't truly doing things for herself sparked her big transition, which included quitting her job, going in debt, and losing the love her life by the time she was 26. So needless to say, things were changing and she decided to do something about it. MAJOR KEYWORDS here, people: beliefs, decisions, change, identity ... And not to mention, all of these GOLDEN goodies from Christine: in your 20's you think every decision is a forever decision living for society or living for yourself being a victim or a creator in any difficult situations the idea that things need to fall apart to be rebuilt how everyone deals with their emotions/insecurities/fears, ie. behavior, mannerisms, actions, mentality, etc. as children we don't have control over what happens to us, but when you're an adult, it's UP TO YOU, which can be scary "reacting to the programming" - how did you grow up, what were you told, what does it mean & how does it effect our own personal decisions? what do you BELIEVE about life that makes IT HARDER? ANXIETY coming from beliefs that don't serve us we spend more time avoiding rejecting instead of doing what we want how to show up EXTERNALLY + INTERNALLY for yourself in order to handle REJECTION the toxic game of PEOPLE PLEASING Get ready to walk away from this ep feeling MOTIVATED, BADASS, + READY AF for everything!

Oh, this episode is just a couple of models just having a discussion about models doing model things. JUST KIDDING. But, what a discussion that would be ... On the real tho, Krista and Linds sat down this week with a #reallifemodel KARI CALHOUN, one of the most popular names in America's Next Top Model history (Season 21, what uppppp!). And we get to all the details, from start to finish on her model journey.    We talk about her story, moving from Dallas to Iowa to Los Angeles, and why she fell in love with the city full of so many opportunities. (She literally hopped off the plane at LAX) Although at first she never took her modeling career seriously, she got signed to a boutique agency and started going to auditions, which were as intense as people say they are. There was a long period where Kari's lack of confidence was showing through the camera & kept her asking "Why am I not getting it?" or "What am I doing wrong?" So how did she get her groove back? Soul searching, not giving a f*ck, letting go, taking everything step-by-step, & realizing the auditions that best fit HER.   Kari also lays down the law when it comes to #INSTAMODELS & why they shouldn't be honored or idolized. "What goes viral about you should be your character and how you live your life, " she explains. MIC FRICKEN DROP. And in addition, she touches on how gratitude can get lost during the hustle. SUCH A GOOD POINT!   But we all know you want to hear about Kari's ANTM career started, which by the way, was when Kari was holding a plank at the gym while a casting director approached her! From the drama to the producers egging things on, Kari TELLS ALL & she learned more than she could have imagined from it.

Okay ladies + gents ... this episode is a BIG ONE. Not only do we have one but TWO guests, Danielle and Whitney of Sakara Life. They've known each other since they were twelve in Arizona, and moved to the Big Apple for their dreams of modeling and working on Wall Street. But as time passed, their struggles grew along with their go-go-go kind of lifestyle. Things basically got CRAY ... fast. Everything started to add up, from going-out, getting acne, drinking, eating out all of the time, working 80 hours/week, and not taking the time to take care of themselves. And this is how their new new lifestyle started. They both had a lot of healing and needed to remind each other food is medicine. So from there they started being their own guinea pigs, and cooking their own meals and creating their own recipes. Eventually, they knew they were on to something, and they started delivering meals on their bikes around NYC to their clients. In terms of the food science aspects of living the Sakara Life, here are some vital topics we touched on: micro biome = bacteria living in your gut 95% of serotonin is made in the gut eating the right food helps that good bacteria thrive, and visa versa adding greens is KEY to every meal - smoothies, sandwiches, soups, etc. eat well and don't stress about it because studies show that stress/anxiety leads to aging faster science points to plants as the key to anti-aging eating a VARIETY of plants is important because it builds the different types of amino acids your body needs studies also show that your personality is more present when eating healthy It's all about living a life of clarity, freedom, health, and nourishment.
