My family and I were walking through the Black Forest in Germany one summer day and happened upon a natural spring plunge pool. It wasn’t very big, so maybe pool is the wrong word to describe it. It was about 6 feet wide and maybe 20 feet long and about 5 feet deep. There were steps that went down into seriously cold water and we were meant to swim/walk to the other side to exit on another set of stairs. Our daughter swam across, squealing and elated. Our son swam in silence and came out shivering. My husband walked across, completely invigorated.

And then it was my turn…I descended the stairs and the water hit just above my waist - around my sternum (solar plexus chakra!) and that’s when I felt a squeeze that shuddered through my entire body. When my chest squeezed, I felt my heart pounding and a panic awoke that made me cry out for help. My hand flew to my chest, I gasped for air. My husband pulled me out immediately.

I have no heart conditions. I have no circulatory conditions. So what in the hell was that?!?

I’m sitting down with Kris Rice to learn more about the sacred practice (and yes, I do mean sacred) of the cold plunge. I want to know everything, and I want to learn right alongside you!

In this conversation, Kris shares her journey into cold plunging, a practice she initially resisted but eventually embraced as a means of personal growth and self-care. The discussion highlights the challenges of overcoming judgment from others and the importance of trying new things for mental well-being.

About KRIS RICE

Kris Rice is the Founder & CEO of ChillPod, a luxury cold immersion system designed to elevate cold therapy into a ritual of renewal. While fully focused on advocating for her daughter’s mental wellness, she discovered cold plunging—and in just two minutes a day, everything changed. What started as a personal experiment turned into a mission to help others reset their nervous system, build resilience, and transform their energy through simple, science-backed practices that actually fit into real life.

“Don't call it a comeback, I been here for years”…thank you, LL Cool J

Whenever I hear the words, “midlife crisis” they are always followed up by that song singing in my head. I have no idea why. And the whole scene makes me giggle.

Midlife is filled with challenges…and they don’t need to be a crisis. We’re not making a comeback, we’ve been here for years…and we have so much knowledge and experience to help us navigate the rest of our lives!

You are going to LOVE Deb Foster just as much as me. I met Deb when I was a guest on her podcast, Gen X Juggler. The connection was IMMEDIATE. She is so incredibly kind, caring, and authentic! And boy isn’t that what we all need as we navigate our life journeys?

Deb speaks to all of us Gen Xers and if you’re close to my age, Listener, (eh hem…53 and proud of it!) then you’re probably going through some major life changes.

For me, we have 2 adult children. Our daughter is 25, launching into her career and we are here to support her. Our son is 22, entering into his last year of undergraduate and exploring the world to discover who he is and what he wants to create with his life.

Our parents are independent, but aging. Our bodies are changing. Our daily schedules are changing.

Hell, what isn’t changing?!?

Well, let’s get through this TOGETHER!

Join me as I marvel at Deb’s story of wake up calls, growth, challenges, and triumphs.

About DEB FOSTER

Deb Foster is the creator and host of the Gen X Juggler Podcast, a podcast that dives into the beautifully messy realities of midlife. In her mid-forties, Deb realized that life had not slowed down as her children grew up and began to leave the nest, the way she once imagined it would. Life actually became much more demanding–with aging parents to care for, one child still at home, becoming a grandparent, and the emotional rollercoaster of her older children leaving home to start their own adult lives. And, of course, making time to care for herself mentally, physically, and spiritually had taken a backseat to all of it.

After making some bold changes in her own life, Deb felt called to help others juggle the joys and challenges of midlife and rediscover who they are in this new chapter. Through honest conversations, humor, and heartfelt insight, Deb intends for the Gen X Juggler Podcast to create space for midlifers to feel seen, heard, and a little less alone…because midlife is better when we juggle it together!

There’s a new paradigm for soul aligned businesses and I am sitting down with Cassandra Rosa to talk all about it!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…I never considered myself a business owner. I never even imagined myself as an “entrepreneur”. I considered and still consider myself in the business of empowering others to heal their bodies, minds, souls, and spaces. I’m in the business of INSPIRING others to LIVE INTENTIONALLY.

I think I’m not alone in thinking that “business” is the practice of making money and I also think I’m not alone in thinking that those of us in the holistic space aren’t in it because we want to make money.

But here’s the thing…if you build an authentic business that speaks from your soul to ignite change in others…you’re going to make money!

So, let’s stop chasing money and instead, learn what it takes to build a business that truly begins with us!

I often reflect on how lucky I am to have the husband I have, the children we have raised, and the life we get to live.

SO FREAKING LUCKY

But what if…

What if I hadn’t been late to that class in 1993?

What if the only seat left hadn’t been right in front of who would turn out to be my husband?

What if I hadn’t been ready to leap into my future with faith and knowing that I had just met my divine match?

What if I had allowed the last boyfriend I had had before meeting Kevin to be my story of how men treat women?

What if…

I AM SO FREAKING LUCKY I didn’t succumb to my fears and leapt.

My guest, Lena Ehrenberg is the coach for you if you have ever found yourself jaded by love, let down in dating, or scared you’ll never find “the one”.

Take a leap with me…let’s learn more from Lena!

More on LENA EHRENBERG

Lena's evolution began in tears, sitting on the curb of a traffic circle somewhere in the South of France. She was meant to be on a weeklong hiking trip but couldn't even find the trailhead to begin. As cars raced around her, she realized she had a choice. She could keep crying, admit defeat, go home, and tell that story, or figure it out and let that be her story. She gave herself 10 seconds to decide.

It was the eve of her 40th birthday and the first time in her life she was aware that she had the power to choose how her story would turn out.

She joined a coaching program that taught her how to communicate better with men, and then a program which focused on relationships. She wanted all her relationships to be better, including the one she had with herself.

Lena started coaching clients in all areas of their lives, then earned her certification. Now she helps women who want to get married and have children figure out who to date.

If you know anything about me, it’s that I love learning new ways to grow. I love exploring who I am and how I can continuously expand into a higher expression of my best self.

So, when I was introduced to Jim Marshall and he told me about Septemics, I thought, hell yeah, I’d like to have a conversation about that!

A system to get to know who I am and how I function?

Based in mathematics and science?

Yeah…I geeked out 😂

So, please join us as Jim discusses his philosophical system called Septemics, which analyzes human behavior through a series of seven-level scales. He explains how understanding these scales can lead to personal growth, better relationships, and a deeper comprehension of societal patterns. He shares his journey of discovering Septemics, the predictive power it holds, and how it can be applied in everyday life to enhance communication and understanding among individuals.

If you’re like me and would like to explore becoming an even better human…let’s go! Have a listen!!

For YEARS I have been benefiting from, curious about, and sharing sound healings for their therapeutic benefits.

From my studio days with clients to, well, my studio days now with the podcast…sound has had a profound impact on my healing journey.

There’s so much I can say on this subject, from how I discovered that song is the voice of all creation to how it was a soundwave that literally saved and changed my life.

But how about I let an expert explain it all? Welcome to the brilliance of Dr. Barbara Minton.

About DR MINTON

Barbara A. Minton, PhD, is a trailblazing psychologist, musician, and neuroscientist whose innovative work bridges the powerful intersection of music, neuroscience, and emotional healing. As the driving force behind the album “Calm the Storm,” Dr. Minton has dedicated her career to harnessing the therapeutic power of music, drawing on both rigorous scientific expertise and profound personal devotion.

Thought Leader in Neuroscience and Healing

Dr. Minton’s approach is uniquely rooted in science and soul. She draws on cutting-edge neurobiological principles to compose and curate music that activates key regulatory systems in the brain, supporting parasympathetic activation, reducing stress, and fostering deep calm. Her musical projects are informed by EEG analysis and sophisticated biofeedback, highlighting measurable impacts on brain networks. Her expertise is widely recognized—in recent years, she has presented at international conferences, including the Biofeedback Federation of Europe and The Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback, and contributed to major reference works on quantitative EEG and neuromodulation.

But Dr. Minton’s artistry carries something transcendent: a quietly transformative and loving energy, arising from collaborations with world-class musician Peppino D’Agostino. Her music offers listeners a sacred pause and a place to return to themselves, aiming to create profound spaces for healing, restoration, and self-connection—especially vital in today’s culture of anxiety and overstimulation.

A Vision for Wholeness

Whether supporting clients through neurofeedback, presenting groundbreaking brain research, or inspiring audiences through music, Dr. Minton’s work is a testament to the healing potential of integrating science, creativity, and compassion. The album “Calm the Storm” embodies her mission: to provide a gentle, spacious, and deeply personal invitation to rest, emotional repair, and wholeness.
