🌟 Episode Description

What does it take to build a thriving marriage and a thriving business—at the same time?

In this episode of Glow Wild, I sit down with Greyson and Taly Goody, the powerhouse husband-and-wife duo behind the Goody Law Group. Greyson, a top California trial attorney, and Taly, the daughter of Iranian immigrants who founded the firm, share their incredible journey of building a mission-driven law practice together while raising a family and mentoring the next generation of leaders.

We talk about:

• 🌱 Their childhoods and the values that shaped their drive to succeed
• 🎓 The pivotal decision to choose law—and how they met in law school
• 💼 The risks and rewards of launching a firm as both business and life partners
• 💡 How they balance love, family, and ambition without losing sight of their purpose
• 🔥 The advice they’d give the next generation about resilience, risk, and chasing big dreams

This is more than a story about law—it’s about courage, partnership, and building a life of impact together.

Whether you’re chasing your purpose, building a business, or trying to align love with legacy, this conversation will leave you inspired to think bigger and fight harder for the life you want.

In this deeply inspiring conversation, Burr Purnell shares his journey—from corporate executive to ultrarunner, devoted dad, and social-impact leader—inviting listeners to ask themselves: What leap of courage are you holding back?

1. The Courage to Pivot
2. Burr recounts how his daughter’s innocent comment—“I’ve only ever lived in this one room”—sparked a life-altering decision. He and his wife decided to resign from their stable careers, homeschool their daughters, and travel the world doing service work with nonprofits like Yoga & Sport for Refugees .
3. Ultrarunning as a Path to Self-Discovery
4. A seasoned ultramarathoner, Burr treats extreme running as more than sport—it’s spiritual exploration. He believes races lasting 50‑100 miles force you to “live on the edge” and ask bigger questions about purpose and resilience .
5. Vulnerability & Leadership
6. In a 2020 interview, Burr emphasized urging men—and all people—to embrace vulnerability. “There is great power in being vulnerable,” he explained, warning against toxic machismo that distances us from ourselves and others .
7. Marrying Creativity & Social Good
8. As VidMob Gives’ Director of Social Good, Burr leverages digital video to amplify nonprofit missions—supporting causes like charity: water and Movember. They raised over $20K in 13 days for refugees in Lesvos, Greece, funding gym equipment and athletic gear for youth .
9. Lessons from Mistakes & Staying Grounded
10. With trademark humility, he laughs about accidentally sitting in someone else’s seat on a Virgin Atlantic flight—an event that reminded him not to take life (or himself) too seriously .

🌱 Key Takeaways

• Vulnerability is Strength: Burr urges listeners—especially men—to shed masks and show emotional authenticity.
• Messy Transformations are Worth It: Career shifts and lifestyle changes rooted in courage can lead to richer, more meaningful paths.
• Suffering With Purpose: Ultramarathons aren’t just endurance tests—they’re journeys into identity, purpose, and connection.
• Accessible Creativity: Tech tools (like VidMob) can magnify nonprofit stories and catalyze real-world change.
• Keep Your Heart Open: Small, everyday moments (like his daughter’s question) can reframe life’s trajectory.

🌿 Episode Summary:

In this powerful and heart-wrenching episode, Nicole sits down with Heather Manson—a devoted mother, trauma survivor, yoga teacher, and fierce advocate for pediatric cancer research. Heather shares her journey through the unimaginable: losing her 11-year-old daughter Parker to a rare form of soft tissue sarcoma after a two-year battle filled with surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation.

But Heather's story is not just about grief—it's about resilience, transformation, and choosing purpose in the face of devastation. Just months after Parker’s diagnosis, Heather herself was involved in a traumatic accident that left her with a broken back, pelvis, and foot. She was bedridden, in recovery, while spending countless nights beside her daughter’s hospital bed.

Together, Nicole and Heather reflect on:

• What it means to mother through trauma and loss
• The moments of light that broke through the darkest days
• How grief changes us—not just emotionally, but physically and spiritually
• The power of honoring our children’s legacies through action and advocacy
• The creation of the Little p Project, a nonprofit born from heartbreak and hope

This episode is a sacred invitation to witness what it looks like to keep loving, living, and showing up—even when the unimaginable happens.
