Devin Burke from Sleep Science Academy sat down with me to talk about the importance of sleep in our lives. Why do we need to sleep? How important is sleep? What are some ways that we can help ourselves to sleep better at night and wake up more refreshed and energized? We also get into dreams, lucid dreaming, and understanding what is actually happening in our bodies while we sleep. And, as always, there are some gems in here that you will probably change your whole outlook on sleep and the way your brain works.
It is my belief that when you are ready, the medicine will find you. this has become somewhat of a theme with these episodes. So, please, if you are listening to this and you are like, "Yeah. I actually do have some issues with sleep," then please take a minute to reach out to Devin. His online course and remote training sessions just might change your life.

Jessie Salas is the director of coaching for Foundation Training alongside its founder Dr. Eric Goodman. It is a practice based on a process founded and developed by Dr. Goodman more than a decade ago to heal his own chronic back issues. Jessie now travels around the country working with thousands of individuals as well as professional surfers and Jiu Jitsu athletes. Foundation Training is based on the simple concept that we unconsciously hold our bodies in a constricted state for most of our lives, creating unhealthy patterns such as poor posture and shallow breathing. Over time, these habits lead to chronic back and body pains, imbalance, and illness. By creating new habits of expansion and opening and by using our breath to expand our lungs and grow our capacity for oxygen, we can reverse these chronic conditions and alleviate pain.
In this discussion, Jessie and I also explored how these unconscious patterns are not only related to the body, but can also be emotional, mental and spiritual. We explored how many people in his practice have experienced other kinds of growth and transformation from the work — alleviating old emotional traumas and releasing old limiting beliefs. Our bodies are all interconnected, and many studies have shown that by changing our physiology we can also change our minds, our emotions, our attitudes and therefore the outcomes in our lives.
If you are receiving this medicine today, I strongly encourage you to try some foundation training exercises. They only take about ten minutes each day but they can transform your life.
We spoke with actress Meagan McKenna on her reintroduction to acting and being the spotlight after years of putting her dreams on hold. We spoke about what it is like to be a genuine artist amidst the noise and pressures of Hollywood. And the conversation got super deep as we entered into the emotional realms of childhood trauma and the way that we suppress ourselves. As always we were super grateful that Meagan took the time to meet with us in our studio. For more information about her good work, find her on IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13591731/
