An Excellent Example Of Being Human | Health | Empowerment | Self-love With Tory Dube

Well, well, well.. it's finally here. Introducing 'This Feels Important' with Tory Dube & Kari Keating, launching June 18, 2021. This Feels Important is an exploration into the hairy, scary, weird, and sometimes orgasmic journey of navigating our ever-evolving relationships to self, others and the world around us. Your hosts - along with a lineup of epic guests - open the floor for honest discussions about the taboo feels (sex! money!), the painful feels (miscarriages! divorce! grief!), and the fun feels (psychedelics! sex again!) that are inevitable, necessary and freaking important as we all navigate the highs, lows, and in-betweens of the human experience. #thisfeelsimportant Find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google and wherever else you listen to your pods.  Also, come join the conversation over on Instagram at @this_feels_important. 

You all are in for a whirlwind today. One of my favorite humans joins the pod - Dr. Tyler Forbes. Tyler is the co-owner and co-founder of Breathe Degrees, and when he opens his mouth it’s like a TED Talk.   Breathe Degrees is a revolutionary new wellness and fitness experience that uses cutting edge breathwork, exercise, contrast hydrotherapy, music, and the power of community to achieve science-backed mind and body benefits. And trust me, Tyler loves the science.   In this life-changing conversation, you’ll learn the real reason we try to attract people, why failure is the ultimate way to achieve success, why zebras hold the answers to stress, and what truly makes us happy. Tyler drops so many truth bombs in this conversation - get ready to have your notepad handy.   HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR CONVERSATION 2:09 - The legacy Tyler wants to leave on earth 5:48 - How to see the world for what it truly is (and why it's important) 8:49 - Why you need stress to thrive in your life 13:31 - We have to push ourselves to the l

Hi, no, I am not actually pregnant. But, here we are, at the last episode of the Excellent Example of Being Human podcast.

Betsy Milne and Laura Milne are transformational business and branding coaches on a mission to empower women with the tools and motivation needed to turn a spark of an idea into full- fledged business and sought-after brand. So you’re probably thinking they’re sisters? Nope, total strangers that just happen to have the same last name.   Born from the ashes of burnout, Luscious Hustle was created to redefine what it means to "hustle" as an online entrepreneur. In less than a year, they harnessed their passion to build a six-figure business that supported the lifestyle and time- freedom they craved.   In this wide-ranging conversation on the power of women in business, the three of us discuss how to use the moon cycle in your business, how not to screw up your kids, Betsy and Laura’s soul contract, and much more. This interview will give a positive boost to all women seeking to tap into their soul’s calling.   And I also have an announcement to make - this will be the last interview episode for the Excellent Ex

Today’s guest is one of my favorite examples of a saying I have: May your work transcend your title. May your character transcend your work. In other words, I love this person to pieces and she’s one of my closest friends because she’s the real deal.   Kari Keating is a business and growth coach, podcast host, speaker, and mom to 3 boys. She had a 17-year career in corporate America where she cultivated skills in the areas of business strategy, sales and storytelling, working for companies such as Nike, Quiksilver, lululemon and other major retailers. After she had her second baby, she became an accidental entrepreneur when she started using health and wellness products that she loved and launched herself into the network marketing industry.    While managing her growing network marketing business and motherhood, she found herself struggling to find clarity in the chaos and hired her first business coach. It was in that interaction that she realized that all the business acumen she had developed over the year

It's so tempting, so easy to overcomplicate EVERYTHING. So, we're going back to basics today. Other episodes mentioned & worth a listen: - 'You are what you ingest' - 'It's an intimacy issue'

After Monique Benebou’s debut on Season 2 of The Voice, and many years in the pop music industry, she decided to shift her focus from the mainstream, to her own unique path of conscious music creation and healing arts.   At first unsupported by most, she knew she had to sacrifice the safety and security of the path most taken to truly find fulfillment in her individual purpose and unique gifts. What this meant was a journey from the head to the heart, through uncertainty, discomfort, and surrender, in order to serve a higher cause and fulfill her soul’s calling.   Now, as a pioneer and leader within the conscious music movement, Monique has earned international recognition for her songwriting abilities and performance.    In addition, to her artistic offerings, she facilitates powerful workshops, coaching courses and one-on-one mentorships, supporting throat chakra and personal truth activations, artist development and masterful storytelling processes.

We’ve been on break for a few weeks preparing to relaunch 3.0 of the pod, and it’s my greatest pleasure to introduce our first guest. You’ll notice he is NOT an entrepreneur, but he sure takes his career seriously. He has the spunk and soul of an entrepreneur, and he’s just a guy from a small town with big aspirations (who went on to attain his goals!) This human has been in my life since middle school - and he’s one of the kindest, most driven, most pure people I've had the honor of knowing and loving. He only eats chicken fingers and pizza and absolutely refuses to acknowledge any of my inappropriate comments about what he would call “gross things,” but I can forgive him for that.  Please welcome the Director of Premium Hospitality Sales for Madison Square Garden (you read that right - the guy who has access to every amazing artist or sports event that comes through NYC), my dear friend Patrick Walcek. We talk about how he went from cleaning stadium trash to mascot to his current job, how the lessons of a w

You had a plan. You told everyone about the plan. You invested so much money, time and energy into the plan. Did I mention YOU TOLD EVERYONE ABOUT THE PLAN. FOR YEARS. ... then something else came up. That looks completely different. SOO... Are you a fraud? Were you never serious about the *thing* you were so passionate about? How can you tell your friends and family you've changed your mind? This episode is for you.
