Dr. Catharine Arnston PhD, MBA joins me to share how her sister’s cancer diagnosis led her from a corporate career into more than 15 years of algae nutrition research.

We talk about spirulina, chlorella, plant-based nutrition, cellular energy, and why she believes these tiny tablets deserve far more attention.

Catharine also explains the differences between the two types of algae, how she built EnergyBits, and what it took to step into a role she never expected to have.

This is a lively conversation about curiosity, entrepreneurship, nutrition, and following a calling that refuses to leave you alone.

Someone is teaching our boys what it means to be a man, and if parents are not paying attention, it may be the internet.

I’m joined by Alex Greaner, author of Who’s Raising Your Son?, for an honest conversation about the algorithms, influencers, and cultural messages shaping young men today.

We talk about Alex’s troubled teenage years, the question that changed his life, and why masculinity must be about more than providing and achieving.

We also explore character, purpose, emotional availability, social media limits, peer influence, and how parents can stay connected as their sons begin seeking greater independence.

Highlights:

(04:10) - The teenage struggles that shaped Alex’s work

(09:34) - The jail-cell question that changed everything

(17:02) - How one viral video became a bigger calling

(20:35) - Why men are more than providers, protectors, and leaders

(31:39) - What moms need to know when their sons go quiet

(49:52) - The advice Alex would give his 14-year-old self

This episode is a very real life update about the day I ended up in the emergency room with atrial fibrillation. I thought I was simply tired, busy, and pushing through another packed weekend. Instead, my body was telling me something was seriously off.

I’m sharing exactly what AFib felt like, the combination of factors that may have triggered it, and why midlife requires a new level of awareness. This is not about becoming afraid of your body.

It’s about knowing it well enough to notice when something changes, trust yourself, and get help before you can explain it away.

Highlights:

(01:39) - Why midlife demands a different kind of attention

(04:46) - The first moment I knew something was wrong

(06:28) - Blacking out, then still trying to stick to the schedule

(08:10) - The urgent care visit that sent me straight to the ER

(10:48) - The perfect storm behind my AFib episode

(14:45) - Why you cannot be a martyr and save yourself too
