How well are you sleeping, eating, performing and well…living? If you struggle with any area of your health, it may come down to missing some important information that could change your life. Justin Roethlingshoefer gets it. Because he's been there. He lived and breathed hockey for years. It kind of comes with the territory when you're from Canada. He's worked as a performance director in the NCAA, NHL, and even runs a private camp for pro hockey players. But loving hockey didn't mean living well. Injury, addiction, depression and anxiety were getting in the way of life outside the arena. That is, until he had a wake up call about the one machine he needed to manage better…himself. Today, his knowledge of performance, health, recovery and sleep space has made him a leader in using data to drive decision making. Not just on the ice but in the corporate world as well. Because, any one has the ability to own their inner athlete. On this episode of HIListically Speaking, Justin shares more about scoring those goals.

It's not uncommon for tragedy to bring people together. There's a feeling of "I'm not alone" that can be both healing and empowering. And can even spark the most miraculous shifts in life. Jessica Cordova Kramer can attest to that. She's a former Wall Street lawyer and podcast producer who lost her brother after a long battle with addiction. And when she heard fellow podcaster Stephanie Whittels Wachs share her own story of loss, after her brother died from an overdose, a bond was created…and then some. Together these women have gone on to create Lemonada Media, a podcast network that Jessica says, is on a mission "to make shows that help people get out of bed in the morning, that help people deal with the hardest sh*t in their real lives." On this episode of HIListically Speaking, Jessica shares more about the humor behind the healing and the journey from lemons to lemonade.

You can learn a lot about a person if you just take time to listen to their story. Michelle Hobgood came into my life as my health coach. With over 15 years in the fitness industry, keeping me accountable on my wellness journey was second nature to her. And frankly, she continues to inspire me, which you'll soon find out. But, what I didn't know about Michelle at the time was that she was fighting her own health and wellness battles…and then some. Michelle is fit, feisty and has an infectious laugh that you just can't help but love. At first meeting, you'd never know she is the mom of an adult son with Autism. You also would miss that she is in a multicultural marriage. And likely, it wouldn't dawn on you that she faces unconscious biases every day; professionally and personally. On this episode of HIListically Speaking, Michelle shares more about her own journey on why being considered a "strong, black woman" can sometimes set the stage for biases we don't even realize we are creating. But also, this intimate conversation opened some doors where there were once walls. Doors to a better understanding that if we spend more time listening to one another, we can learn to turn awareness into action in a positive and productive way...for all. You can find more of Michelle's transparent musings and how she juggles it all with a smile (most of the time) on her Instagram and website.

Jeffrey Small had everything going for him. Friends, family and a great job back in his hometown. When you're a news anchor, you're in many ways a celebrity in your local community. I know this because Jeffrey and I were co-anchors in Louisiana during our early days in TV News. But a move to St. Louis brought a different kind of fame. Something that changed his entire world when cocaine and meth came into play. Suddenly, the respected guy on TV who loved to party, was now on the front page of the newspapers for all the wrong reasons. Addiction took it all away from Jeff and somehow he lived to tell about it. After hitting rock bottom, this two time Emmy Winning Journalist had no choice but to look at life differently. Small is now an outspoken voice for others in need of hope and healing and shares his story on this episode of HIListically Speaking.

The healing arts is big business. And for anyone who works in health or healing, there's a responsibility that comes with showing up for yourself and others. If you're one who is seeking guidance rather than providing it, that overwhelming feeling that has you asking, "who is right for me" can be just as challenging. It can also leave you with a lot of questions unanswered. David Gandelman knows this all too well. His journey took him from playing hockey in New Jersey to working mindfully in Hawaii. From ashrams to improv and Cornell to Colorado, the creator of Meditation School shares some valuable lessons about what it takes to honor yourself and the business of being zen. And he's bound to make you laugh along the way. David connects energetic experience, ancient wisdom traditions, and humor, to create a safe atmosphere for people interested in learning to meditate, and develop their natural spiritual abilities. He is also the host of both the Energy Matters Podcast and Grounded Sleep Podcast. Get ready to put the "yay" in namaste with some powerful lessons and little laughter on what it takes to live your best life.

If there is one show that has brought me to happy tears each time I watch, it is definitely The Kindness Diaries on Netflix.

There in lies the lesson. So, why is a former stockbroker from London choosing to travel this way and ask for a helping hand? Well, having it all doesn't necessarily mean feeling complete; as you'll soon find out during our conversation. The real riches come from each person he meets during his travels. It's more than room and board. Time, kindness and connection pave the way for so something so much greater…for the giver and the taker. Get to know The Kindness Guy, and more about Leon's quest to inspire the world to be a little bit kinder with whole lot of "Winnie Love" on this episode of "HIListically Speaking".

My grandmother used to say, "be sure to taste your words before you spit them out". The problem is, we aren't considering the impact those words or that inner dialogue has on ourselves before it leaves our lips. Imagine if coming from a place of love and kindness started with embracing the source. When I first read Sarah Peyton's book Your Resonant Self, I was shocked at some of the sabotaging self-talk I was using. Bullying myself came with ease due to my own traumas and upsets. To be honest, we're all guilty of it…being hard on ourselves is nothing new. But, self-love isn't just a trend or a hashtag, it's a way of being… IF we have the right tools. And for Sarah, her work as a Certified Trainer of Non-Violent Communication and neuroscience educator, provides us with those tools that can help us better understand the unconscious contracts we make with ourselves. When we do this, we are free to heal and grow. On this week's HIListically Speaking Podcast, get to know your resonant self and what it takes to be kind to your mind. You can learn more about Sarah Peyton, her book Your Resonant Self, and her beautiful work by visiting her website empathybrain.com If you're interested in learning more about how Havening Techniques can help you put the power of emotional well-being in your own hands and be kind to your mind, just visit my website at hilaryrusso.com/havening.

We tell ourselves a lot of stories about why the right kind of love hasn't entered our lives. To the career driven woman out there, we've whined and wined over a number of them, haven't we? Here are a few of my favs. My success is intimidating to men. There's no good ones left after divorce. I'm "too busy" to date because I'm so career focused. They want the young ones anyway. And the ever so popular…I'm too old for this crap. OK, now that we go that out of our system, let's try something different. Ladies, I get it. But, now, it's time to own it. And do I have the perfect guy for you! Barry Price has been a relationship and dating coach for powerful women since he was 8 years old. You learn a lot when you're sitting at the kitchen table with your single mom, breaking down her dates. Since then, he has been trained as an ICF Coach and by renowned psychotherapist Esther Perel. He has coached thousands of successful women to transform their relationship with themselves in order to create healthy, lasting relationships with the right man.
