"You Were Supposed To Go Through This!" with the Limitless Mischelle Miller

Send us a textWhat if your body has been listening to your beliefs all along? We sit down with Mischelle Miller of Neuro-Based Training to unpack how the brain, heart, and subconscious shape pain, performance, and healing—and why intention beats willpower when the stakes are high.Mischelle’s journey from traditional training to muscle testing began with one question: how do we help people beyond sets and reps? She explains muscle testing as a way to “ask the brain,” revealing how words, identity, and hidden stressors can weaken or strengthen the system in real time. From sciatica resolved remotely to a client who lost pain the moment she stopped bracing for it, Mischelle’s stories show how expectation becomes physiology. We dig into practical mindset shifts—“I am healing now” versus “I hope it heals”—and how that single change influences food choices, stress, and consistency.Faith and heart coherence give her method its edge. Whether you name it God, Source, or the universe, asking for help and thinking from the heart creates a safer nervous system and steadier results. We explore the HeartMath perspective, gratitude habits that tame the brain’s negativity bias, and why media diets matter for recovery. Mischelle’s rapid femur healing becomes a case study in alignment: out of fight-or-flight, disciplined rehab, clean inputs, and a relentless belief in a faster timeline. Add smarter communication—enter every conversation with intent to respect and uplift—and your environment starts working for you, not against you.You’ll walk away with tools you can use today: a one-minute hand-on-heart reset, clear mantras that program focus, and a fresh lens on pain that starts at the source—the brain. If you’re ready to turn setbacks into signals and train a body that follows a decisive mind, this conversation will change how you lift, move, and live.

"Be Grateful For The Pain" with the Inspiring Tashina Dunham

Send us a textWhat if the hardest season of your life became the one that finally taught you how to live? We sit down with Tashina Dunham to trace a path from a tough Wisconsin childhood and the grit of team sports to a divorce that demanded self-work, and a love story written in the shadow of terminal illness. This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the real-time lessons of presence, faith, and self-worth learned the hard way and shared with uncommon honesty.Tashina shows how sports can wire us for life’s fourth quarter: pushing through fatigue, trusting teammates, and playing the next play. She opens up about leaving a marriage to grow, then choosing to love a man whose prognosis forced radical clarity. The shift from frantic fixing to simply sitting together changed everything. In hospital corridors, she discovered a calm that looked like prayer and felt like breath, and a community that showed faith as warmth rather than judgment.We explore the quiet tools that heal: meditation, sound baths, grounding in nature, gardening as ritual. We talk about looking strangers in the eye, calling the cashier by name, and turning off the loud news to meet the human next door. Tashina’s definition of a win is simple and powerful: a conversation where someone feels safe enough to tell their story. Along the way, she offers a mirror test for leadership and healing alike—being able to look at yourself and say, I’m proud of you.If you’re craving resilience, spiritual calm, and the courage to be present, this conversation will meet you where you are.

A Playbook For Bold Growth with the Unapologetic Carolyn Nolan

Send us a textWhat happens when “unapologetic” meets “kind”? We sit down with CEO and wealth advisor Carolyn Nolan to unpack how bold honesty can coexist with empathy, and why that pairing—candor with care—changes your career, your money, and your relationships. Carolyn shares how she built a self-managing company, stepped back from direct advising to lead a mostly women team, and reframed dreaded financial meetings into energizing conversations about purpose, tradeoffs, and freedom. Along the way, she shows why saying no creates room for the right yes, and how to edit a calendar until it reflects what you actually value.We explore the difference between being unfiltered and being reckless, and we get tactical. Carolyn’s go-to tools include the “helpful or harmful” filter for quick decisions, a practice of crafting bespoke core values instead of borrowing them, and a simple test for healthy relationships: do we celebrate, support, and challenge one another? She talks about redefining adult friendships by seeking out “my people,” setting fair expectations, and building trust so tough feedback lands with care. The result is a working model for presence over performance.We also go there on habits. Carolyn explains why she quit alcohol, what she gained in clarity and safety, and how anyone can audit habits that once helped but now hold them back—overwork, endless scrolling, or rules that let you avoid the real choice. If you’ve felt stuck on the hamster wheel, this conversation offers a path out: fewer obligations, more intention, and the courage to articulate what you truly want.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with three friends, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway. What’s one habit you’ll retire to make space for what matters next?Support the showhttps://bamboolab3.com/

"Stronger Circles, Stronger Self" with Anthony Johnson

Send us a textWhat if one hard thing a day could change your life? Not a grand gesture—just a cold shower, a 45-minute walk in the sleet, or a two-minute meditation before opening your inbox. That simple shift became the turning point for our guest, Anthony Johnson, who opens up about anxiety, loss, and how a season of discipline rebuilt his confidence from the ground up.We dig into the power of the right people—those who celebrate your wins, support you when it’s heavy, and challenge you when you drift. Anthony shares how he traded energy drainers for a tribe of “illuminators,” the men and women who keep him honest and inspired. You’ll hear the “food vs. poison” framework for relationships, a three-part litmus test for your inner circle, and a reminder that fit matters more than labels. When your environment lifts you, consistency becomes natural.Identity gets practical here. We walk through daily “I am” statements tied to your key roles and core values, a simple power list to win the day, and breathwork plus meditation to quiet the noise before it gets loud. Stoicism threads through the conversation—Marcus Aurelius, The Obstacle Is The Way, and the timeless nudge to return to the present. We also swap book recommendations that sharpen judgment and courage, from The War of Art to Man’s Search for Meaning.At the heart of this episode is love: loving your people, loving the work of becoming, and protecting the “golden goose” that lays the eggs you care about most—purpose, respect, freedom, and real connection. If you’re ready to tighten your circle, speak to your future self with conviction, and stack small, hard wins, this is your blueprint. Listen, try one hard thing today, and tell us what you chose. If this resonated, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with three friends who are ready to level up.Support the showhttps://bamboolab3.com/

"Selection is Destiny" with the transformational Beth Fisher

Send us a textA life can look like momentum from the outside—30 marathons, corporate wins, a bestselling debut, a full speaking calendar—and still be built on choices that didn’t honor the person inside. That clash is where Beth Fisher found her pivot. We sit down with Beth—business coach, speaker, and author—to trace the arc from checklist living to clear-eyed selection, from noisy achievement to calm, durable contentment.Beth opens up about the experiences that sharpened her discernment: surviving leukemia, navigating divorce, confronting a covert narcissist, and carrying the quiet weight of parenting guilt and empty nest grief. She doesn’t romanticize the pain or rush past it. Instead, she shows how to sit with it, journal through it, and use your body’s signals—sleepless nights, stress, fatigue—as data you can act on. Her central case is bold and simple: selection is destiny. Who you choose as a partner, the leaders you follow, the friends you keep, and the habits you repeat will script your next decade. Choose with non‑negotiables. Leave early when misaligned. Be more interested than interesting. And trust what your gut knows before your head admits it.We also get inside her creative process—pantser first, architect later—and the story behind her books: Remorseless and the upcoming Selection Process: How to Avoid a Loser Relationship. From there, we widen the lens: stoicism as a daily practice, the power of solitude, and the “goose vs. golden eggs” mindset that turns outcomes into byproducts of strong inputs. When Beth slowed down—coffee under the stars instead of 4 a.m. grind—her work got better, her joy returned, and contentment replaced pressure. She still plays to win (hello, pickleball singles), but she’s done performing for the wrong audience.If you’ve felt “something’s off” in your relationships, career, or routines, this conversation gives you language, tools, and permission to act.
