What a great show we have for you, today we sit down with Dr. Aaron Olden founder of Mindful Medicine Rochester.  Aaron share his story of how he started in the field as an internal medicine doctor who then transitioned to palliative care which inspired him to then take a different path.  Since leaving the palliative care position Aaron has started his own practice (Mindful Medicine Rochester) where he works tirelessly to serve his clients through a combination of blending easter and western medicine practices, consulting with his clients and helping them to navigate our difficult medical system, acupuncture, mindfulness and more.  Aaron brings a deep understanding our our medical system and its practices to the table with the understanding he has cultivated around other holistic healing practices like acupuncture, breath-work, mindfulness and more; and with those tools he helps his clients better understand their health and wellness and empowers them the make lifelong changes in their physical, mental and emotional health.

Aaron also takes a lot of absolutely beautiful images from the time he spends in nature so give him a follow on the gram @mindfulmedroc

Join us today as Melissa and Chad discuss the first medicine ceremony that Melissa attended.  This episode is all about her experience, what lead her to exploring the idea of attending, her hesitations, her insights and how this experience, while still fresh, has shifted her perspective.

You are the captain of your own ship, take your power into your own hands and grant yourself the permission to live the life you want, need and deserve.  

Today Melissa and Chad sit down to chat about giving and taking permission, how does our relationship around permission to act, think, believe, etc shape our lives.  How can granting ourselves permission help to not only empower ourselves but enrich our lives and the lives of those around us.  Join us for a really fun discussion around permission.

After you finish listening take a step out into your world and give yourself permission to do something you love, to make a mistake, to take a risk and to be your authentic self.

Melissa and Chad sit down to discuss failure, how do we define it, what is the value around failure, what does fear around failure look like and why is it important to recognize that failure is inevitable throughout our lives (and that's a good thing).  

Melissa and Chad had the opportunity to sit with Chase Tollenson today and discuss what his path has looked like and how he is using fitness to impact not only clients physical health but as a gateway to personal growth and development.

Chase is the owner of Ardent Fitness in Algonquin, IL.  He is also the creator of the Primal Man Pathway where he is guiding men to embody their greatest selves not only through fitness but through personal growth and development.  We had an amazing conversation covering how Chase ended up where he is today, the people and events that have influenced him the most and how he is applying the lessons of his life to help improve the lives of others around him.
