Join us for Part 2 as we redefine your understanding of sexual wellness and intimacy as Eva Hunter, co-author of Sex, God, and the Chaos of Betrayal, graces us with her insights. We'll dissect the powerful idea of intimacy as a state of deep 'knowing and being known', and how this integrates into our sexual experiences. We’ll also reveal how a rigid religious upbringing can shape a woman's sexuality, and examine the crucial role of emotional connection in preserving a thriving sexual relationship. You won’t want to miss this episode!

She’s also joined on this episode by Head Coach of Boston Celtics, Joe Mazzulla, who has worked with Dr. Lagos on HRV training. He discusses how he uses techniques taught by Dr. Lagos to help him manage his HRV and lower stress levels during his first season as an NBA head coach in 2022.

Dr. Lagos has served as a Clinical and Performance Psychologist in private practice for the past 14 years. She consults a global hedge fund as well as elite performers in entertainment, business, and sport.

In this episode of the podcast, we hear from Bruce Miller, a man who has spent 22 years in the automotive service industry, climbing the corporate ladder and eventually starting his own business, Miller Automotive. However, despite his success, Bruce's life took a turn when he was let go from his job and diagnosed with cancer.

But, Bruce didn't let the circumstances slow him down. Instead, he changed the direction of his life and started a business in the middle of the pandemic. Even when he was losing jobs because he put his employees first, Bruce continued to work hard and eventually found success working with independent car lots and increasing sales.

Bruce's story is one of resilience and determination, as he never settled when it came to family time and always made sure to savor every moment. He reminds us that money is fine to do nice things, but it's also having great relationships that truly make life worth living. And, as Bruce says, it's all about going all gas, no brakes. Tune in to hear more about Bruce's journey and how he learned to find purpose in the face of adversity.

Having It All means balancing work and play. Years ago I made taking July off part of my regular business plan. This year, after 11 years of running of my own brand, I decided to double my time off – a new personal record.

In this episode I’m sharing what two months off of production looks like as an entrepreneur, busting the myth that you have to hustle 24/7 to make your success a reality. We’ll dive into how I empowered my team to keep things running behind the scenes, the questions I considered before making the decision to take time off, and what time away did for my mindset, my goals, and my bottom line.

If you’ve ever wanted to step away from your business but weren’t sure how it would run without you, listen up. This could change your life.

Have you ever felt like your dominant personality built a wall between and others? I used to wear my “masculine energy” like a shield, never wanting to feel vulnerable or weak in front of others. It wasn’t until my coach, Laura DiBenedetto, helped me make the connection between feminine energy, vulnerability, and success that I was able to open myself to my true potential.

This week Laura DiBenedetto and I are sitting down to discuss how she helped me plant the seeds of vulnerability and ease, and how they showed up in my business, revenue, and personal growth.

Laura DiBenedetto is a TEDx speaker, bestselling author, and happiness coach.
