    Wellness Download: Catching Up with Ah.mi’s Rachel Johnson on Habits, Summits & Showing Up
    Aug 7 2025
    In this episode of Wellness Junkies, Amy sits down with returning guest Rachel Johnson, founder of ah.mi, a wellness brand and community supporting busy women through curated, relatable content and quarterly group challenges. It’s a candid catch-up on all things everyday wellness — from what really went down at the latest wellness summits to building a Substack community, morning routines, and showing up for yourself. This one’s packed with real-life inspo (plus a few beauty hacks and workout confessions along the way). We talk about the recent growth of ah.mi and the evolution of its wellness community. Rachel shares how the brand stays grounded in its core mantra: “Greens, water, move, repeat.” The focus? Simple, actionable wellness that feels realistic, not overwhelming. Rachel also opens up about her recent live TV appearance on South Florida Live, and how she overcame her fear of being on camera — a moment that perfectly reflects her belief in doing hard things and showing up anyway. We then swap stories about our recent wellness summit experiences: Rachel attended In Goop Health, while Amy attended the Dear Media Wellness Edit. We compare notes on the panels, brand activations, and the overall vibe of each event — with a shared takeaway on the power of in-person connection and community. Lastly, we trade favorite wellness hacks — from the magic of being early to lower stress, to making movement a non-negotiable, to creative ways to get more protein in. It's real talk about the rituals that work, and how to get back on track when they don’t. Join us for this inspiring and down-to-earth episode on the realities of wellness, the joy of community, and how to keep showing up — even when it’s hard.

  • Finding Your Fitness Flow: Insights on Weightlifting, Healthy Living, and Mindset with CEO and Co-Founder of BODi, Carl Diakeler

    Finding Your Fitness Flow: Insights on Weightlifting, Healthy Living, and Mindset with CEO and Co-Founder of BODi, Carl Diakeler
    Jul 24 2025

    In this episode of Wellness Junkies, we had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Carl Daikeler — visionary entrepreneur, and CEO and co-founder of The Beachbody Company, a longtime leader and innovator in the fitness and nutrition space. With over four decades of experience, Carl shares the origin story of Beachbody and how it has evolved into the cutting-edge platform known as BODi.

    We dive into the shift from traditional vanity metrics to a more holistic view of wellness, focusing on quality of life and functional fitness—especially for busy parents. Carl emphasizes the power of community and the crucial role mindset plays in wellness, introducing us to the Body Power Mindset Project, designed to help people overcome self-criticism and embrace a “health esteem” mindset.

    We also explore timely topics like the rise of GLP-1 medications and their impact on the industry, along with the importance of pairing them with sustainable lifestyle habits. Carl shares why resistance training is essential—particularly for women—and why it’s time to redefine what “lifting heavy” means on an individual level.

    Throughout the episode, Carl opens up about his personal wellness routines, including his morning rituals and the benefits he’s found in cold plunges. He underscores the importance of "owning your morning" and making fitness a non-negotiable priority for overall well-being.

    This episode is packed with insights and inspiration for anyone looking to elevate their health and fitness journey. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed having this energizing and enlightening conversation with Carl!
