#28: This is Part 2 of our interview with Todd Chi. Go back and listen to Part 1 first to hear Todd's life story.

This episode focuses on his current work as a practitioner of breathwork and energy work. We cover meditation, reiki, qigong, tai chi, and numerology. We dive into each modality, learning what it is and how it can be used to optimize performance.

Todd lives in Bali, Indonesia, and conducts both in-person and remote sessions in reiki, qigong, tai chi, numerology and breathwork. To schedule a session with Todd, DM him @toddchi9.

#27: The pod is still on the road in Bali, Indonesia. This is Part 1 of our conversation with our new friend and global citizen, Todd Chi.

He regales us with his experiences... doing ayahuasca in Peru, training to play professional tennis in Spain, accidentally joining a fight club in Kansas, working on a yacht in Mallorca, and even managing @munay_canggu cafe in Bali, where we all met.

We learn how he's supported himself financially through it all, and made and kept great friends along the way. We hope his story inspires you to have faith in yourself and fearlessly chase adventure.

#26: Do you ever wish you could initiate a factory reset on your brain and body? Might we suggest floating around in a simulated womb for an hour?

If you're feeling dissociative, reactive, or creatively stuck, float tanks might just be the unconventional remedy you need.

Amanda and Julia went in blind (and nearly came out blind too... watch out for that salt water), so you don't have to. Join the girls as they discuss practical tips for preparing for your first float, dive into the unexpected mental challenges they encountered, and share the surprising insights gained while doing mermaid moves.
