In this powerful conversation, we sit down with Marielle Viola to explore why mental health is not separate from women's wellness—it is the foundation. From high-achieving hustle culture to nervous system burnout, this episode dives into what it really means to redefine strength, rebuild from the inside out, and use movement as a tool for connection rather than control.

Marielle shares her personal journey as an athlete, fitness entrepreneur, and public figure—revealing the gap between external success and internal struggle—and how prioritizing mental health transformed not only her relationship with fitness, but her entire approach to wellness.

This episode is a reminder that true strength includes self-awareness, compassion, rest, and the courage to slow down.

In this episode, we dive into one of our favorite wellness documentaries — Limitless with Chris Hemsworth. From ice baths and fasting to emotional growth and family connection, the series explores what it means to live longer, stronger, and more present.

Season 1 pushed the limits of human performance — but Season 2, Limitless: Live Better Now, shifts the focus from longevity someday to living fully today. We unpack the science, the mindset, and the meaningful life lessons behind Chris's journey — and share how we can all apply them in simple, grounded ways.

If you've ever wondered what "living limitless" could look like in your life, this episode will leave you inspired to stretch your comfort zone, spark your brain, and embrace wellness with more presence and joy.

We discuss

• The evolution of Live Better Now: why longevity isn't just about years, but about depth and meaning
• How novelty strengthens the brain (and why learning drums might be the ultimate neuroplasticity hack)
• Real-world ways to live "limitless" — one small step at a time.
