But that’s what today’s guest is doing with her work... Erin Skye Kelly is a bestselling and award-winning author, keynote speaker and entrepreneur. Her new book launches on July 20, 2021. “Get the Hell Out of Debt'' teaches financial literacy in a way that is approachable, entertaining and inspiring. Erin’s resources have helped thousands of people pay off millions of dollars in personal debt, and are inspired by her deeply personal journey of regaining financial freedom.  Though she is the former owner of a mortgage brokerage, Erin found herself with over $2 million of personal debt. Erin enlisted the help of financial professionals but grew frustrated when their debt consolidation and refinancing solutions only made the problem worse. Instead of paying off debt with debt, Erin set out on a mission to truly understand how money works. In “Get the Hell

This week, in the launch of Season 3. I’m talking to Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor who was introduced to me by last season’s guest, Dr. Jeffrey Rediger.   I loved this episode. It reminded me how much control we have over our lives - that we have agency to experience life how we want it and that by understanding how our brain works we can be even more empowered.   It reminded me of this quote from Marcus Aurelius  - you have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength. It feels even more relevant in this time that we’re living in.  Dr. Taylor is a Harvard trained and published neuroanatomist. Her area of specialty was understanding how our brain creates our perception of reality by studying the differences between the postmortem brains of human individuals who were classified as either neuro-typical, with those diagnosed with severe mental illness. Ironically, in 1996 Dr. Taylor experienced a severe hemorrhage in the left hemisphere of her brain causing her to lose the ability t

Today...we’re talking about how to take better care of the planet.    To be totally transparent, I don’t know as much as I would like about climate change or the details around the impact of my daily choices.    However, what I do know is that our small actions can make a difference, and we’re reaching a point where we all need to be taking action and playing our role.    Whether you choose to bring a reusable bag to the store, eliminate your use of single-use plastic like ziplock bags, replace your plastic tupperware with glass, reduce the amount of times you order takeout or buy plastic water bottles, eat less meat, shop second hand, your actions do add up and they do make a difference.    Some of the things that I do include, making an effort to recycle all of the items that can be recycled, shop in the bulk section of the grocery store, forgo plastic bags for my fruits and veggies at the grocery store, say no to the bag when I can, have a meatless day each week, and try to buy from brands who are making a

To say I was inspired by today’s guest would be an understatement…   When it comes to spontaneous healing, skepticism abounds. Doctors are taught that “miraculous” recoveries are flukes, and as a result they don’t study those cases or take them into account when treating patients. Enter Dr. Jeff Rediger, who has spent over 15 years studying spontaneous healing, pioneering the use of scientific tools to investigate recoveries from incurable illnesses.   Maybe you guessed it already...I found today’s guest on goop, well the goop podcast, and I literally emailed him as I was listening because I knew I needed to talk to him myself.    His thoughtfulness and approach to wellness is right up our alley here on How We’ll Live and not to mention caring for our immune systems is pretty timely!    My favorite part though is pillar four...healing our identity and healing our soul -- a surprising connection to our physical health,  which we talk about near the end of the episode.  Jeffrey Rediger, MD, MDiv, is on the facu
