“Postpartum, Pain & the Power of Listening to Your Gut” with Dr. Karisa – Haven Chiropractic & Wellness

What really happens after childbirth—and why aren’t we talking about it?

In this powerful episode, Dr. Karisa from Haven Chiropractic & Wellness shares her personal and professional journey through pregnancy trauma, emergency C-section, postpartum PTSD, and launching a women-focused chiropractic practice that puts humanity first.

We cover:

• Why chiropractic care during pregnancy is about the nervous system, not cracking bones
• What birth trauma actually feels like—and why it often goes unseen
• The silent signs of postpartum depression and PTSD
• Gentle chiropractic care for babies: what it is, how it works, and why it matters
• What dads should be doing during pregnancy (and what not to say)
• The truth behind the “you’ll have to come forever” myth in chiropractic
• Farts on the adjustment table and other real-life stories from practice

This episode is funny, raw, educational, and full of real talk every mom, dad, or wellness-minded human needs to hear.

Some people navigate calm waters. Captain Luke Bonner navigates chaos — and somehow lives to laugh about it. From getting shot at to surviving a shipwreck, Luke’s got more stories than a salty old bar in Key West.

In this episode, we dive into his wildest moments on the water, the unglamorous truth about life as a captain, and why your best stories rarely start with “everything went according to plan.” It’s raw, ridiculous, and the kind of conversation you can’t fake.

Whether you’re a weekend boater, an adrenaline junkie, or just here for the WTF factor, this one’s worth the listen.

He’s opened restaurants that printed millions, coached teams out of chaos, and still managed to let his website expire.

This episode of the Vilardi Digital Podcast features Vince Kassay—an operator, mentor, and guy who’s been in the hospitality game long enough to spot BS from across the dining room.

We talk about:

What actually kills culture in restaurants (it’s not what you think)

Why most consultants don’t fix anything

The myth of “great customer service” in 2025

Real stories from Carrabba’s to $6M restaurant openings

How to lead without pretending you have all the answers

There’s no script here. Just two guys who’ve worked the floor, trained people, and still care about doing things the right way—even when it’s messy.

🎙️ Watch. Subscribe. Or don’t. Just don’t fake it.

Folding Hope: Jason Sowell on Laundry Project, Dignity & Doing Good Anyway

Before the world shut down in 2020, Jason Sowell stood at the altar officiating my wedding. Weeks later, laundromats were shutting down, people were bleaching their Amazon boxes, and we were all losing our minds over toilet paper.

Jason? He was out there with a bucket of quarters and a bold idea: The Laundry Project—a way to restore dignity one clean load at a time.

In this episode of the Vilardi Digital Podcast, we go deep (and sideways) with Jason—founder of @engagecurrent, the nonprofit behind @laundryproject, Hope For Homes, and Affordable Christmas.

We talk:
🧺 How a single conversation in a laundromat changed his life
💡 Why dignity matters more than charity
🎤 Life as a pastor, a TEDx speaker, and a professional hope dealer
🔥 Funny, awkward moments—including clearing up some wild rumors about STDs before we even start

This one’s equal parts hilarious, raw, and ridiculously inspiring.

🎧 Listen now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your shows.

P.S. Neither of us have or have had an STD... so thats good.
