She has done it all and shown up with love at every opportunity. She’s living proof that when you make decisions out of love—both for yourself and others—even your falls can be beautiful. This is… A Bit of Optimism. For more on Carla and her work, check out: [https://www.carlahall.com/](https://www.carlahall.com/) [https://linktr.ee/carlahall](https://linktr.ee/carlahall)

Daring to be different feels risky. There’s constant pressure to “read the room” or “tone it down.” Kathryn Finney discovered at a young age that – when it comes to being authentic – the rewards are actually far greater than the risks. Kathryn is a model for how being yourself can get you ahead in both business and relationships. She is: an author, an entrepreneur, a fund manager, and a celebrated non-conformist.  And she does it all in incredible style. This is… A Bit of Optimism.

Live A Long, Happy Life with physician Mark Hyman

Episode 61

Live A Long, Happy Life with physician Mark Hyman

Turns out laughter isn't the best medicine. *Medicine* might not even be the best medicine. If you were to ask Dr Mark Hyman, he would tell you that *food* is the best medicine. Some would say Mark is a modern age miracle worker. In reality, he has figured out ways to help the body perform its own miracles. From curing diseases to extending our lifespans, his approach to wellness is unlike what most of us are used to. His work is inspirational, anthropological and downright fascinating. This is… A Bit of Optimism. For more on Mark and his work check out: his forthcoming book, *Young Forever*, at [www.youngforeverbook.com](http://www.youngforeverbook.com/) [https://drhyman.com/](https://drhyman.com/)
