Have you ever desperately wanted to make a career change, but been too scared to take the jump? Today's guest Lynette Hoyle has been there too. Lynette and I became friends through social media way back when in the glory days of 2014 Fit-stagram. in 2017-ish after building and scaling her online coaching practice, Lynette, like many of us, became so frustrated with the ever changing Instagram algorithms and how they were impacting her business, so she hired her first ever business coach. Once she did, she was hooked... not just on fitness coaching, but with business coaching. Since then, Lynette has been on a journey of shifting out of fitness coaching and into business coaching, where she just recently made the pivot into business coaching full time. Today, we're talking about the journey from influencer to business person, how she knew it was time to pivot careers, developing self-trust, and how NOT to make ceviche (no, really, pay attention). Follow Lynette on IG. New to fitness coaching and need some gu

1 in 6 or 1 in 7 couples is going to face infertility. We talk about fertility as a women’s issue as a society, but that’s not the case… But, for heterosexual couples, it’s just as likely for infertility to be coming from the male OR the female. Sperm quality isn’t just an indicator of fertility, it’s also a major indicator for male health. In today’s show, we’re talking with Khaled Kteily of LEGACY all about male fertility, the construct of masculinity and how it’s changing and how we can help, common causes of male interfility and things that can hurt sperm health, how TRT can actually HURT your sperm health, and a candid conversation on creating more joy in your life and the things that steal from it. Khaled Kteily is a former healthcare consultant at Oliver Wyman in Toronto and studied healthcare and public policy at Harvard University, where he received a full scholarship and graduated with disctinciton. Khaled has previously worked at the World Economic Forum in Geneva, where he had his work on the futu

Have you ever spent 10 full minutes in complete silence, no music, no journaling, no TV, no computer/phone, no humming, no talking, no... anything? I don't know if I have. Today's guest, Shane Heath, spent a full 10 DAYS in total silence at a recent retreat. While Shane is better known for being the owner and founder of MUDWTR, a coffee alternative consisting of organic ingredients lauded by cultures old and young for their health and performance benefits, today's conversation centered around Shane's recent meditation experience and all the tangible takeaways from it.  In today's show, Shane takes us through all the lows and the highs of 10 days of complete silence, spending over 8 hours a day meditating, his journey of learning what some of his personal "drugs" are (including work and finding self-worth through his job), developing intuition and deeper physical and emotional awareness, Shane's passion for the wellbeing of his employees at MUDWTR, the future of entrepreneurship, deeper wisdom, and how the sim

**DISCLAIMER: THIS PODCAST IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE AND IS FOR EDUCATIONAL AND ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY. DO NOT CONSUME ANY DRUG WITHOUT CONSULTING WITH A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL** On today's episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Kelsey Ramsden of MINDCURE. Kelsey is a cancer survivor, and what we could call a lifelong entrepreneur, starting in the construction and real estate industries, who then moved into the world of psychedelics, where she helped find MINDCURE. In today's episode, we talked about Kelsey's career evolution, how she discovered psychedelics and psychedelic assisted therapy, and we dive into some of the nuts and bolts of psychedelics (with a heavy focus on psilocybin, but also touching on the class of psychedelia as a whole, including MDMA, ketamine, LSD, ibogaine, 5-meO-DMT, peyote, and others).  We focus on Kelsey's own journey through psychedelic assisted therapy; what to expect from a psychedelic journey; the effects of psilocybin on the nervous system, neuroplasticity, and connectin

Oh wow. We're back for round 2 of the Em & Em podcast adventures. We're back with one of my best friends, Emily Cossin, for another episode on sex, love, relationships, and everything in between. We opened up a Q&A box on Instagram for you all to ask whatever you want, and guess what: 99.9% of all questions were pertaining to sex and relationships. So, we're talking about sex and relationships. Here's what's on the menu: -period sex (really starting off strong here) -how to (should you?) hit on men at the gym, at the bar, etc. -making sex more spiritual between you and your partner  -does botox in your jaw interfere with botox (or having a small mouth)  -Emily C's jaw warmup exercises -negative and positive deal breakers in relationships  -advice for going YEARS without sex because casual hookups aren't for you  -rock bottom with relationships, men, and craving attention vs connection -going from hating/avoiding being alone and single to thriving being alone and single -the “scary” parts of letting so

Today we're bringing a repeat guest back on the show for a very different episode than our first interview. Alyssa Olenick, aka the Honey Badger Mountain Goat, is one of my favorite internet humans. A brilliant PhD student, an incredible content creator, and just a really cool human, today's conversation with Lyss gets... really real. We talk all about experiencing large growth on social media in one of the toughest years to be a human at all, aka 2020. We talk growth, we talk the realities of "influencing," high levels of stress, and as the title would imply, losing our sleep, hair, and minds.  FOLLOW LYSS ON INSTAGRAM LISTEN TO OUR FIRST PODCAST EPISODE HERE ---- Interested in working with EDF Coaching to reach your fitness and lifestyle goals?

You all are in for a TREAT today... First thing's first: today's conversation is definitely more adult in nature, so not the best for listening around little ones, at work, etc. Probably best with headphones OR listening with your gal pals if we're being honest. Today, I chatted with one of my best friends, Emily Cossin. What we covered:  -how we met by dating the same guy (it's a good story) -letting Emily roast me and my dating life -learning to deal with rejection and how it's not always "there must be something wrong with me if they aren't into me" -why rejection is a blessing -physical vs emotional rejection  -questions and red/green flags for first dates -developing sexual confidence -self pleasure/masturbation -getting to know yourself sexually  -demanding what you want/need from sex and how to speak up to your partner -NO ONE LOOKS CUTE WHEN THEY ORGASM  -every vagina is beautiful in it's own way, okay?  EMILY'S INSTAGRAM  ---- Interested in working with EDF Coaching to reach your fitness and lifestyl

Today’s episode is going to be all about productivity. 2020 was a year where more of us transitioned to a work from home structure, and that transition was one of the things I was asked about the most. I’ve worked from home from my computer as an online fitness coach since December 2015, and I also did a good chunk of my degree online when I moved out of state. So, needless to say I’ve gotten pretty decent at being productive from home and from a computer. Whether you’re a work-from-home-er or you’re simply trying to find ways to maximize your time, this episode should give you some solid takeaways that you can incorporate into your day.  Interested in working with EDF Coaching to reach your fitness and lifestyle goals?

It's a new year, which often means new year's fitness resolutions. I wanted to take some time in today's episode to talk about why continuing to under eat chronically may be making it harder, or actually impossible, for you to reach your fat loss goals. From the physiological to psychological, chronic under-feeding can thwart your fat loss efforts and start to have negative effects on your health. Episode 101 is here to distill the nerdy stuff into an easy to digest episode so that you can be a more empowered and educated eater for your short and long term health and fitness goals.  Interested in working with EDF Coaching to reach your fitness and lifestyle goals?

Now more than ever with lockdowns happening worldwide, many people are spending more time alone than they normally do. For some people, this is really uncomfortable and scary. I wanted to record today's episode to talk through some of my own pivotal periods of solitude within my life that ultimately led to me becoming the woman I am today, who loves herself, who is herself, and who ENJOYS time with herself. I'm hoping this show today can help you lean into your alone time and use it to grow in knowledge, in self-understanding, in self love, and in strength.  Interested in working with EDF Coaching to reach your fitness and lifestyle goals?

I get asked all the time "how I'm so confident in being myself." It honestly makes me sad that this is a common question, because isn't that what we all should be confident in being? Today's show was inspired by a conversation with a friend about standing strong in yourself, and it turned into an episode about some of my story and how I developed self confidence.  TOPICS: -The conversation with a friend that inspired this episode -Why we are biologically programmed to want and need acceptance from others -Why we're more afraid of public speaking than death  -Starting my fitness journey/my fitness social media and getting mocked/bullied by my peers from my high school  -Learning the lesson of growing strong in myself and who I am  -Being a "floater" in high school and never really fitting in with a particular group or clique  -Going from being a "chameleon" to fit in with groups to being more confident in simply being myself -Spending time alone and without many friends, and how that taught me focus and self-d

A lot has happened in the US and in the world since we last connected on the show. The tragic death of George Floyd (and of others like Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless others) brought about a turning point in history and social justice. Black lives matter, and we’re here today to pass/share the mic with an amazing black woman in fitness and in academia, Dr. Brittany Mastellar. Dr. Britt holds her PhD in kinesiology, is a fitness coach, a university professor, a mom, and just an all around really fun spirit to connect with.   TODAY’S SHOW   -Dr. Britt’s intro   -How she got into academia and, specifically, exercise science   -Her journey through grad school   -Realizing her original path in school wasn’t what she was passionate about and how/why she made the shift into exercise science   -Dr. Britt’s PhD and dissertation work   -Physical activity interventions in kids (fundamental integrative training) and the importance of fitness education/physical activity in children   -Pursuing a non-traditio
