In this week’s episode of the Redefine What’s Possible podcast, Shanon and Kelly Tysland sit down for a conversation about the wearable Whoop device and the undoubted positive impact it has had on their everyday lives as business owners and busy parents of four children.

With Whoop guidance, they are able to use personalized data to balance family life and personal wellness by optimizing sleep, minimizing strain, and maximizing recovery. By receiving daily feedback and guidance, they are able to build connection, adjust habits, and identify how they can best support each other.

Whoop is able to give them more than just data. It allows them to stay connected and understand where they are at in terms of capacity. Paying attention to their personal metrics not only helps set them up for a better life, but gives them something to connect on that’s moving them forward with their goals, relationship, family, health, and fitness.

While wearable technology is able to give us powerful data, one of the best benefits it offers is not just the opportunity to do more, but to be smarter with how you use your energy.

The end goal is not perfect metrics.

The goal is to live well and show up fully for the life you want to live.

In this week’s episode of the Redefine What’s Possible podcast, Shanon sits down with Mark Canlis—third-generation owner of famed Seattle fine dining destination, Canlis—for a conversation about leadership, legacy, presence, and the secret ingredient of life: love.

For Mark’s grandfather and founder of Canlis, success meant being the greatest restaurant in the world. Today, Mark’s philosophy goes way beyond providing a great dining experience. Success means caring deeply for the people around you, whether that’s guests coming in to enjoy a meal, or the team members working alongside you. It’s about a passion for hospitality, a culture of care, and creating a place where people can be their whole, authentic selves.

Mark didn’t just inherit a restaurant. He inherited a host of values and principles that continue to guide him today. This episode is an inspiring story about daring to care, being present, and choosing to run a business not driven by fear, but firmly rooted in hope and love.

Have you ever attempted to build a new habit, but found yourself struggling to follow through? What if our failures are not so much a lack of discipline or willpower, but that we were never taught to create change in a way that actually works in real life?

In this week’s episode, Shanon shares an insightful conversation with Dr. Heather McKee, a health behavior change specialist, about building healthier habits rooted in real life with more self-compassion and consistency. Dr. McKee has spent more than a decade studying the psychology of lasting habit change and bridging the gap between our desires and our actions. Her work centers around helping people and organizations create sustainable, evidence-based changes in a world that prioritizes quick fixes.

This inspiring conversation emphasizes the importance of struggling on the road to success, how motivation is not always a reliable driver of change, and how to think of behavior change more as a skill to be built rather than an inherent trait.

If you have ever stumbled in your journey and want to build habits that are grounded in honesty, intention, and self-compassion, this episode is for you.
