In this episode of Be Your Own Advocate, Isaiah and his Aunt Isabel sit down with Jules (Julie Gatti), a clinical RN at UCSF with 26 years of experience, to explore what real advocacy looks like inside a hospital—especially for children with cancer and families on the financial edge. Jules shares how California’s nurse-patient ratios and strong nursing unions allow her to be truly present at the bedside, offering not just medical care but emotional safety, coordination of services, and human connection in some of life’s most fragile moments.

Jules also opens up about the emotional toll of pediatric oncology, including the recent loss of a two-year-old patient, and how community, movement, and deep energy work have helped her release stored trauma and rediscover self-love. She takes us inside Code Care, a pioneering anti-racism and anti-poverty initiative at UCSF created after a homeless father was mishandled in the ER. From partnering with Glide Church and the Healers at the Gate program to listening for hours to unhoused neighbors on the street, Jules shows how proximity, compassion, and honest conversation can transform both caregivers and systems. This is an intimate, powerful look at nursing as premier advocacy—for patients, for communities, and for ourselves.

• Nurses as frontline advocates: Jules explains how nurses are often the only ones in the room during moments of crisis, using de-escalation, compassion, and coordination to protect patients and families when emotions are highest.

• Code Care & Healers at the Gate: After a homeless father was met by armed police at the hospital, UCSF created Code Care, bringing in a Black community liaison and partnering with Glide Church so staff can spend days serving, listening to, and learning from people living on the street.

• The energy of self-love in healthcare: Jules shares how releasing trapped grief and learning to truly love herself changed not only how she carries pediatric oncology trauma, but how her inner peace radiates out to patients, families, and colleagues.

“The key is to feel self-love. That’s what attracts people—that’s what makes people around you feel safe and desire to be near you.”
— Jules Gatti, RN

In this episode of Be Your Own Advocate with Isabel Dassinger and Isaiah Fliessbach, Isabel and Isaiah dive deep into the power of beauty—not the surface-level kind society pushes, but the energy of beauty that elevates your spirit, calms your nervous system, and helps you walk through the world as a stronger advocate for yourself.

Beauty shows up in nature, in clean and cared-for skin, in a smile shared with a stranger, and in the confidence that radiates from within. They explore the difference between manufactured beauty and the energy that flows from authentic, aligned self-care. They also unpack how beauty influences the body at a cellular level, how clutter shifts our mood, and why intentional moments of noticing beauty each day can raise your energy and reset your mindset.

• Beauty acts as an energetic magnifier that feeds positivity, coherence, and calm back into the body.

• Clean skin and intentional self-care can shift your energy quickly and support confidence.

• Nature remains one of the most accessible sources of beauty and energetic reset.

“A beautiful space is reflective of an aligned self.” — Isaiah Fliessbach

In this conversation, Isabell Dassinger and co-host Isaiah Fischbach unpack the link between energy and personal advocacy. You explore how environments shape energy (the “bar at noon vs. cathedral at midday” contrast), why so many of us feel oppressed or stuck, and how much of our energy isn’t missing—it’s locked up in fear, tension, and limiting beliefs.

They talk about movement, breath, gratitude, and sleep as practical starting points, but you also go deeper: into emotional honesty, alignment with personal values, and cultivating a kinder inner dialogue. Instead of waiting for circumstances to change, you offer listeners tools to change how they think, feel, and position those circumstances in their own minds—so they can reclaim agency and become their own best advocate from the inside out.

• Energy isn’t just “feeling pumped.” Isaiah breaks down different kinds of energy—from having the stamina to play with your kids to sensing the “vibe” of a bar vs. a cathedral—and how that relates to self-advocacy.
• Victimization quietly traps your power. You both explore how feeling like you have no choice—whether due to finances, family pressures, or life circumstances—locks energy into a “familiar suffering” that feels safe but keeps you stuck.
• Gratitude vs. fear as opposite poles. You discuss how gratitude can’t really coexist with fear, and how starting the day with gratitude (even for small things) can begin to unlock emotional and physical tension.
• Lifestyle is energy management. Sleep, nutrition, breathing, and movement are reframed not as “wellness chores,” but as the foundational ways your body generates real, sustainable energy—so you’re not just mining your adrenals with caffeine and stress.

“You can’t always change your circumstances, but you can change how you’re going to think about them and how you’re going to feel about them and how you’re going to position them in your head so that they don’t overwhelm you.”

In this solo edition of the Coach Courtney Podcast, host Tanner Courtney checks in from the Garden of Grace and Gratitude on the Arizona–California border, where he’s on a 21-day, full-body reset. He opens up about recent health battles tied to his spinal cord injury, why he chose healing over hospitalization, how God used a “whisper” to get him there, and why he believes America is in a leadership crisis. He also finally gives listeners a flyover of his story—from Iowa athlete, to Navy corpsman with the Marines, to surviving a head-on collision with a semi, to now building a healing/wellness nonprofit in San Diego for veterans, first responders, and the local community. He calls listeners to unity over division and to get intentional about what media they consume.

Highlights (4):

1. 21-Day Reset in the Desert: Tanner left California to heal chronic wounds, infections, and the after-effects of his spinal cord injury. Instead of checking into a hospital for weeks, he chose a faith move—going to a private, off-the-grid healing retreat run by his coach’s mother. Daily protocol includes hyperbaric chamber, infrared sauna, magnetic frequency therapy, gut reset, supplements, and clean food only.
2. Hard Stop on Bad Habits: He’s three days into no alcohol, no nicotine, no marijuana, no sugar, and no energy drinks. Total reset. He admits he’d slipped into survival eating (pizza, smoking, low protein) despite knowing better, and now he’s getting his body back to healing mode.
3. Media, Fear, and Division: Tanner talks about stepping back into current events after staying unplugged for years. He believes mainstream media is fueling division, fear, and distrust. He urges people to seek independent sources and to remember: the fight is not left vs. right—it’s people vs. corruption. (Note for listeners: this segment reflects Tanner’s personal perspective on recent events and media, and some of the claims he reacts to are still unclear or disputed in public reporting.)
4. Who Is Tanner Courtney?: Born in Iowa, multi-sport athlete, college baseball player, Navy corpsman who served with the Marines, later on track to become a chaplain, then everything changed in March 2024 when a head-on collision with a semi left him paralyzed from the waist down. That accident became the launch point for his current mission—founding Ready and Forward Camp Lockett, a faith-forward wellness and recovery hub in East County San Diego for veterans, first responders, law enforcement, and the community.
