“Considering we are moving to 100% virtual versus having a retreat or something similar, I know personally, for myself, and a lot of my clients are starting to send out more gift items to clients who sign up for them. So, I’m wondering, if there’s a way for you to branch into that?” — Cassandra Shuck [0:12:32]
“I’m excited that we have the opportunity to do the live coaching and maybe it will inspire
somebody else who’s listening to my nonsense to be like, ‘Hey, you know? Jessica and
Cassandra have met.’” — Jessica Trimmer [0:14:50]

Laura discusses her move from wanting to be a pediatrician to entering the network marketing world and discovering her love for personal branding — an interest fueled by her conversations with Betsy. Betsy shares how she got burnt-out while working a high-performing job in the fashion industry, moved back home, and then overcame her uncertainty to become a health coach.

01/28/20 • 48 min
Today on the Stacked Against Podcast we have a conversation with Michael O’Brien, the “Chief Shift Officer” at Peloton Executive Coaching. Michael elevates successful corporate leaders by preventing bad moments from turning into bad days, and he gets into the details in his book The Last Bad Day Shift. His award-winning book Shift: Creating Better Tomorrows, chronicles his last rock-bottom day, his near-death experience, and the journey to recovery. For him, it’s about transforming from being a doer to being a be-er, and he has shared this philosophy on many renowned platforms, from a TEDx stage to media outlets such as Entrepreneur and Fast Company. In this episode, you will hear how awareness differentiates those who live intentional, fulfilling lives from those caught in the stress of the rat race. Being present in your every day is Michael’s recommendation for creating a life of abundant memories and meaning, and he challenges listeners to exchange unhealthy mindsets for ones that embrace stillness and allow for more time with the people and activities they love. We discuss the repercussions of running low on energy and Michael shares about learning that all events are neutral until we assign a meaning to them. This gives us a greater sense of control and removes the victim mentality that we tend to adopt when traumatic events happen. Join us for this episode to learn more about transforming your life for good!
Key Points From This Episode:
- An explanation of his tagline “Have fun storming the castle” from one of his favorite films.
- Helping corporate people by teaching them to live with more awareness.

Shifting the Soul - Dr. Angela Martin-King
Sh*t's About To Get Crazy Podcast
11/23/21 • 43 min
Starting her career as a chiropractor, Dr. Angela Martin-King loves analyzing how animals move, the manner that the bones work inside a body and know how things are built from the inside out. So it was a no-brainer for her to move into the science field and help people heal because she had many instinctual gifts to offer.
Sharing her experience as an “animal whisperer,” Angela talks about animals being a lot more fun than humans as they don’t extract the energy out of you. Also, compared with humans, animals get better faster, and you get rewarded more than once.
But just like so many spiritual and Pathak people, Angela was hit by a major burnout and had to learn new ways to heal herself. And so, after years of experiencing deep and rapid healing, she becomes a spiritual awakening catalyst, a chiropractic doctor, and a soul-fire practitioner! Calling herself a healed healer, this becomes her starting point to help others achieve extraordinary results in their lives.
As Dr. Angela explains in her podcast, she emphasizes that if the unconscious mind is cluttered with misbeliefs and old things that you were told not to do, accessing the gifts can become difficult. People have to clear out of the unconscious mind and limitations that are crowding out that gift because trying to access something through fear or desperation can be even more challenging. She insists that it doesn’t work like that when talking about real, spiritual, and unique gifts. (More information about these gifts are discussed in her podcast)
Talking about mosaic analogy, she realizes that when we get into the multi-dimensional space, we see different facets of who we are all wrapped together to create a beautiful, multifaceted soul. Figuring out how amazing it makes her love the spiritual work even more!
Sit down and relax as you listen to the therapeutic podcast of Dr. Angela Martin-King!
Key Points:
- Gain awareness about your dreams, fears, and assumptions.
- Envision reality without compromise
- Define what fulfillment looks like.
- Shift to an empowered mindset and perspective.
- Design your own terms happiness and success.

Hustling Forward - Cassandra Solo Podcast
Sh*t's About To Get Crazy Podcast
12/14/21 • 13 min
Unraveling a journey from corporate to entrepreneurial and spiritual endeavor is an essential topic discussed in today’s podcast. Cassandra will give you a glimpse of life situations about unraveling.
Cassandra thought of different ways to unravel from her previous podcast with Dmitria. And she is always asked, like, you know, is there a proper way? Is there a right way to do it? Like, how did you do it?
Cassandra shares a little backstory on how she unraveled the pieces in her life. She was in the corporate and was working at one, quote, toxic job after another. At first, everything looked phenomenal. It was great salary, benefits, team, structure, and company. Then, however, she saw a lot of misogyny which she didn’t want to subscribe to.
Things get more and more frustrated with everything that was going on. Her own health even became a problem. It started with gluten intolerance and moved over to a Hashimotos base protocol. Finally, she got to the point of frustration, where literally one day she walked in, and she was done.
She got to the level of frustration where she could no longer handle it as there was no income to replace, and she didn’t want to focus and face it. So, that was her kind of journey out. So, Cassandra had to hustle and figure out all those things once she was out.
Cassandra believes that humans have this need and desire for safety. But with the concept of severe trauma, some people find it hard that they’re not going to do or not want to do to unravel. So what she did is create six things to slowly unravel whether you are in a corporate or in another business, or both.
In this podcast, Cassandra will talk about strategically releasing responsibilities, defining the minimums, working towards realistic minimums, and the limited idea of unlimited hustling.
She will highlight here why working beyond the average hours and pouring all your energy to working multiple jobs are not ideal for long-term sustainability.
Now sit comfortably and listen in!
Key points:
- Figure out why unraveling is important to you.
- Get clear of what work and life balance means to you.
- Prioritize what’s important to you.
- Let go of trying to work and do it all.
- Simplify your life.
Tweetable Quotes:
“Overwork should have a kind of a short expiration date on it. Because if it doesn't, it becomes more of a life cycle and lifestyle.” - Cassandra Shuck
“I think hustle for a particular season or a particular strategic event makes ascent makes total sense. On the other hand, I kind of sway away from it and disagree with it when it comes to long-term sustainability.” - Cassandra Shuck
“Where can you still have some connection time with the relationships in your life to avoid that adrenal fatigue of just go, go, go, go while unraveling one thing and trying to stand up another?” - Cassandra Shuck

It’s a different situation when your health is affected. In this episode, we dive in with Julie’s journey with Rheumatoid Arthritis or “RA” as she uses throughout the podcast. But before that, we first did a quick getting-to-know. Wanting to find a little more open space, Julie made a move to Colorado to raise her children where they could be outside all year round. Being in her early 30s, a newly single mom with three young kids Julie was diagnosed with RA in 2004. After learning about her RA diagnosis, she decides the western life seemed fit despite being on 10 medications. She then transitions how the western route was not working and it sparked to her that changing her lifestyle was a need. Dave Asprey was an integral part of her health journey. Do you ever get that feeling that you’re at your best (but not really)? That’s how Julie would feel every time she’d be asked if she was recovered. She doesn’t feel like she’s recovered because today she’d feel her best but six months later she’ll feel that her health is at its best than before. It has taken three years to get Julie to where she is now, pain-free, having her energy back, and no more brain fog. She figured that the root cause of her illness was toxicity which she’s still working on.
As Julie continues with her RA recovery journey, she has also been helping people with autoimmune challenges plus a little extra love for those in the RA community. She works on lifestyle changes with people struggling with autoimmunity specializing in RA. Her passion led her to launch a new program “RA The Right Way” focusing on the 5 pillars: diet, stress management, sleep, movement, and detox. In the podcast, we continue to delve into Julie’s insights on her experience with RA and her other programs. Continue to listen in as we find out more about Julie’s RA story!
Key Points From This Episode:
- Diving into Julie’s journey with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
- Her transition from only taking meds to changing her lifestyle
- What sparked within her to start her own coaching business
- She talks about her programs that could help people with autoimmunity and with RA

“I figured out that, really, there is so much that we can do, because chronic illnesses don’t
happen overnight. They happen because the environment changes, and the environment can
be our thoughts, it can be the food that we are eating, it can be our relationships, it can be the
amount of sleep that we are getting, all these things, and that causes the genes then to express an illness.” — Jane Hogan [0:08:27]
“We’ve had our fair share of issues and [our] fair share of things that are stacked against [us],
but after is when you can embrace that feeling of gratitude.” — Cassandra Shuck [0:17:24]
“As much as possible, [try] to bring peace and calm into your day, so that you’re more often in a
rest/relax mode than a fight/flight mode. We don’t realize how much we are in fight/flight, and as long as we’re in fight/flight, the immune system isn’t working, there is no healing happening.” — Jane Hogan [0:28:33]
