Season 2, Episode 270: More Sadness and Grief

In this topical content episode, Michael revisits sadness, grief, and even death – as once again he received a sad phone call regarding the passing of his step-brother, Ronald Borgmeyer. And as if that weren’t bad enough to hear, he gets the news that his mother is in the hospital with atrial fibrillation and pneumonia, while his sister is in a room right down the hall from her, suffering from an obstructed bile duct.

Michael digs deep into the way our thoughts trigger our emotions and how we have the choice and the power to determine what we think and therefore, what we feel. This exploration reveals that sometimes our sadness is buried in the deeply hidden loss of our youth.

Season 2, Episode 230: Ginny Wright – Master Health & Nutrition Coach

Today’s guest is Ginny Wright. Ginny went from being a Canadian to a Virginian in 2002 with no idea what her next professional step would be, after an early career in retail. At a friend’s suggestion, she decided to apply her love of exercise to an actual career in fitness.

So, being a true example that we should do what we love and the job and success will follow, Ginny attended a personal training seminar in DC, where she was recruited on the spot by a local outdoor fitness company.

Within a year, she had started BodybyGinny, a boot-camp style of classes held in parks and other locations. Always meeting outside regardless of the weather, Ginny designs new workouts every time, and clients who have been with her for 12 years say they have never had the same class twice!

Ginny became certified as a health coach at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in 2009 and started using those tools to help herself and her clients lead healthier lives. She became interested and started reading a lot about Buddhism and mindfulness 5 years ago, and now enjoys educating her clients about that, as well.

You can check out more about Ginny and her new Total Wellness Challenge (TWC) at www.TWCFit.com.
