    029 Needles of Wisdom: Acupuncture Helps Heal
    Jun 11 2025

    On this episode, I’m sharing something deeply personal—my journey with acupuncture and how it helped me heal in ways I never expected. I’m joined by the brilliant Dr. Micah Allen, a nationally recognized integrative health leader, licensed Naturopathic Doctor, and Acupuncturist based in Richmond, VA.

    Dr. Allen is the owner of Essential Natural Health and has shared her expertise on CBS, ABC, and in countless media outlets. She brings a rare blend of wisdom, science, and compassion to her work, and today, we dive into how acupuncture works, what it treats, and why it may be the missing link in your wellness journey.

    Whether you're new to acupuncture or curious about a more holistic approach to health, this conversation will leave you informed, inspired, and maybe even booking your first session.

    028 Rooted in Adaptability: Lessons from a Life on the Move
    May 27 2025

    In this episode, we explore what it means to build a life of purpose, connection, and adaptability through the lens of an Air Force childhood. Our guest Trish Hill shares how growing up in 10 states and 2 countries shaped her ability to form strong relationships, embrace change, and lead with influence.

    Born in Mountain Home, Idaho, and raised in a family with deep military roots, she reflects on the unique experiences of being an Air Force “Brat”—from constantly starting over to finding stability within movement. Now working alongside her husband in the commercial robotics industry, with a background in Information Systems, Accounting, and an MBA, she brings both personal and professional insights into how adaptability becomes an asset in every area of life.

    Whether you're part of a military family, navigating your own transitions, or seeking inspiration on building a meaningful life through change, this conversation offers wisdom, warmth, and a powerful reminder that your story is shaped by every place you've been.
