Have you ever had a gut feeling? Well, Samantha has, and that same gut feeling has led her on this path.

What path is that? It is the path to heal and that path has brought her to where she is today, teacher by day and an integrative health coach by night.

Samantha thinks that you should listen to your body when it is trying to tell you something. Through her own circumstances she found out that band aids are not always the best solution and believes getting to the root cause is what can truly help us. Samantha talks about healing and sealing the gut through simple practices such as mindful eating, deep breathing and listening to your body. If this conversation left you wanting more, having questions unanswered, or maybe you just want some functional labs, you can contact Samantha directly @gutfeelingsco_

This week, your favorite duo sits down again with special guest, and friend of the podcast, Dave. Dave's a deep thinker who helps us flip the script, interviewing us about the glamorous experience of podcasting. He asks us about our favorite guests, and we get philosophical about what wellness means to each of us.

Dave drags us out of some tempting rabbit holes in this dialogue, and instead we gently explore the benefits of routine that Dave find to be stifling. And, you'll find out what Tim and Karen would do if someone else's view of wellness was something we found objectionable (ex: littering).

How does Karen define a good day? And what causes Tim to say, "nobody's content with being content"? Listen here for the answers! We're grateful to Dave for diving into the deep end with us again. This conversation is sweet, but not short, there's plenty more where this came from. Enjoy!

If you want to hear more from the Instigator, the Yogi, and Dave, check out our December 24, 2025 episode, Learn to Swim: Deep End Conversations with Dave.

This week, Karen and Tim are delighted to share our conversation with Baya Voce.

Baya Voce is a relationship repair expert helping couples come back together after conflict. She holds an MSW from Columbia University, is in ongoing supervision with Esther Perel, and collaborates with Columbia University, MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies), and Rick Doblin on pioneering research into MDMA-assisted couples therapy. She regularly speaks at SXSW, and with over 5 million views, her TEDx talk on loneliness highlights the often-overlooked impact of relational disconnection.

Baya combines the depth of therapeutic techniques with the practicality and directness of coaching. She works with couples who feel like they’ve tried everything, offering a tailored approach grounded in the belief that repair, done well, is the antidote to loneliness and disconnection.

In our conversation, we reflect with Baya on how intimate relationships can bring us face to face with our own wounding, and the value of doing the work in partnership. Baya describes her characterization of phases of intimate relationships. Most people are familiar with the honeymoon phase at the beginning. This is followed by what Baya calls the "power struggle phase" (regular listeners will not be surprised that this phase is where we spent the most time!). For those relationships that last beyond the power struggle phase, the third phase is interdependence. As with most things, the path of any relationship is not necessarily linear, and many partnerships go back and forth between the various phases.
