The Doctor Who Dismissed It… Until Life Made It Personal
You insure your homes, cars, phones, and almost everything you can replace. But what about the one thing you live in every single day - your body? This episode is about medicine. It's about not seeing the recoveries you, as a doctor, wish to deliver for your patients. Also about skepticism, aging, and quality of life. And the questions many of us avoid asking until something serious happens: How can we afford NOT TO invest in the body we depend on every single day? In this powerful episode, I bring back all-time favorite, Dr. Maureen Hayes, a Board-Certified Anesthesiologist and Pain Management Specialist with over 30 years of experience in traditional medicine. Dr. Hayes shares her candid journey from skepticism to conviction, including the deeply personal wake-up call that came through first with her mom's return of bad diagnoses, and then her husband’s health crisis after deployment in Iraq. She went from swearing she would never tell a soul she was taking it… to believing she has a moral obligation and responsibility to share it with as many people as possible. We talk about western medicine, Redox technology, quality of life, age management, being proactive, the real price of losing your health, cellular health, RedoxGOLD next-generation technology, and why supporting the body at its most foundational level may be one of the most important decisions you can make. This is a heartfelt, funny, honest, and eye-opening conversation with a physician who left the white coat behind to make an even bigger impact. Dr. Hayes brings wisdom, humor, medical experience, Disney Princess charm, and a deep sense of moral responsibility to help people understand what is possible when the body is supported at the cellular level. Grab your favorite glass of wine and join us for a conversation that may make you think very differently about health, prevention, and the trillions of cells working for you every moment of your life.

The Perfect Life Trap: Why Women Feel Exhausted, Stuck & Unfulfilled
What Would You Love? Reclaiming Joy, Purpose & Imperfect Action with Danielle What happens when the life you worked so hard to build starts to feel too heavy to carry? In this heartfelt episode of Third Chances, I sit down with Danielle — a coach, speaker, and author who helps women stop waiting for the “perfect” time and start reconnecting with what truly makes them feel alive. Danielle shares her journey from a playful, joy-filled little girl to a high-achieving corporate woman who seemed to have it all together… while quietly feeling exhausted, disconnected, and unsure if the life she had created was still the life she wanted. We talk about the cost of living only from responsibility, the guilt so many women carry, the fear of stepping outside what feels safe, and the powerful question that changed everything for her: “What would I love?” This conversation is for the woman who looks successful on the outside but knows something inside is asking for more — more joy, more freedom, more purpose, more aliveness. Danielle also shares the heart behind her coaching work, her upcoming book Energized: The Exhausted Woman’s Guide to Clarity, Joy and Purpose, and why dreams are not frivolous… they may be the very thing calling us back to who we were meant to become.WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/AuAn-lxv0Qc If you enjoyed this conversation, make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss any future episodes.

The Inner Empire - The Day My Body Forced Me to Listen
Why symptoms are signals — and what happens when you stop cutting the warning lightWhat happens when the body whispers… and you don’t listen — until it screams? In this final episode of the 2025 season, I sit down with Debbie Roppo, Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach and creator of the Soul Inflammation Method™, for a conversation that goes far beyond food, fitness, or willpower. Debbie shares the moment in her 40s when her body completely shut her down — swollen joints, unbearable pain, crawling across the floor — and how that wake-up call changed everything she believed about health, healing, and identity.Together, we explore:- Why chronic conditions are often signals, not failures - The difference between reactive medicine and upstream healing - How mindset and internal dialogue create real, measurable chemistry in the body - Why discipline and “doing everything right” still isn’t enough - The danger of ignoring the warning lights — and cutting the wire instead of fixing the cause - How identity shapes healing more than most people realize - Why true change requires time, compassion, and the right guide This episode is about hope without hype, responsibility without shame, and the quiet power of deciding: "I’m not okay staying here." If you’ve been pushing through, pouring from an empty cup, or waiting for “later” - this conversation may land exactly when you need it.

Ending the Silent Battle: Healing Hidden Trauma Without Reliving It
Ending the Silent Battle: Healing Hidden Trauma Without Reliving It with Dr. Pamela Arnell of 22Zero A new, effective path for veterans, first responders, and anyone carrying emotional weight In this episode, Dr. Pamela Arnell — Executive Director of 22Zero — shares a breakthrough approach to healing trauma for veterans, first responders, and their families. Their method helps people release the emotional weight of traumatic experiences without reliving or retelling the events, and often creates profound change in just one or two sessions. Pamela’s path to this mission started early. Inspired by her father’s service in law enforcement, she pursued her own life of service — even when she was told she was “too short” for the job. Her response? “Then I can get into places others can’t.” That determination has guided her through years of clinical work in counseling and, in a full circle, back to the first responder work, community leadership, and now, trauma healing. - We talk about her strong faith, - her late husband’s military influence, - the Trauma & Emotional Healing Processes (THP/EHP), - and why all services are provided at no cost to veterans, first responders, spouses, and children. 22Zero relies entirely on donations to keep this mission alive. This conversation is filled with hope and a new understanding of what healing can look like. What makes 22Zero’s work extraordinary isn’t just the method — it’s the heart behind it. Pamela’s compassion, conviction, and faith are the engine of an organization that exists to make sure no hero fights their hardest battle alone.

Lisa Regina: Her Story Was Supposed to End That Night - It Became a Movement Instead
When actress, acting coach, and filmmaker/producer Lisa Regina met the man she thought she’d marry, she had no idea her life was about to shatter — and then transform into a mission that would touch countless lives. In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Lisa opens up about: Growing up in a blue-collar Italian American home with a dad who didn’t always understand her artistic dreams. Losing her mother at 18, and the life lessons that still guide her today. The day her engagement ended in a brutal act of violence - and how surviving it changed everything. The broken systems, the media frenzy, and the courage it took to rebuild her life when her life, health, name, and career were nearly destroyed. How she found healing through her beloved writing - and eventually turned her pain into the foundation for A Write to Heal, a nonprofit empowering trauma survivors and veterans through creative expression, filmmaking, and drone technology - and helping them heal. The extraordinary story of the first woman who helped find her voice - after decades of unspeakable horror - and how that act of compassion might have saved thousands of innocent lives. The birth of Heroic Episodes, a groundbreaking project with actor Joe Mantegna as an executive producer, shares the stories of unsung heroes, while also supporting, hiring, and honoring veterans through storytelling and film. And the love story she never thought she’d have again - proof that healing doesn’t just repair, it rebirths. Lisa’s resilience, compassion, and mission remind us that even the darkest chapters in anyone's life can become scripts for hope - if we’re brave enough to rewrite them. 🎧 Listen now, and if her mission moves you, please visit HeroicEpisodes.org and see how you can become a part of this incredible project of love - and how even one person can help bring these stories to life. Connect with Lisa here: Lisa’s recent collaboration is on her latest project, ‘Heroic Episodes’, and the Veterans Drone Training Program with actor and star of ‘Criminal Minds’ Joe Mantegna (executive producer). https://heroicepisodes.org/ If this project speaks to you, please consider DONATING. Even a small donation will have a huge impact! One person can change the world. Lisa uses creative expression as a therapeutic tool for trauma recovery and founded A Write to Heal. https://awritetoheal.com/about As a filmmaker/actress, producer, and a Part 107 Commercial Drone Pilot.
