296: How to Heal Your Nervous System and Finally Feel Like Yourself Again with Tom Cronin
What happens when success costs you your peace?Tom Cronin spent 26 years in high-stakes finance — making millions, closing international deals, and living the kind of life most people dream about. But behind the high-performance exterior was a man quietly falling apart. Years of chronic stress, sleepless nights, and panic attacks eventually brought him to a breaking point. And that’s when everything changed.In this episode, Tom shares the full arc of his transformation — from a nervous breakdown in his late 20s to discovering meditation as a lifeline, and eventually leaving finance to become a teacher, filmmaker, and mentor for conscious leaders.You’ll hear the behind-the-scenes story of how he bet his savings (and his house) on a documentary project that didn’t go as planned, and how he rebuilt his life by learning to listen to his inner voice — even when it didn’t make logical sense.This conversation is for anyone feeling stuck in a version of success that no longer fits, and wondering what it really takes to pivot toward purpose without losing everything in the process.We talk about nervous system healing, the cost of ignoring your intuition, how to charge for spiritual work without guilt, and why some of the best decisions in life start from a breakdown.Tom doesn’t just talk about peace — he lived the chaos that made it necessary.Listen now and learn how to come back to yourself.Send us a text message.

295: How Jeff Krasno Reclaimed His Energy, Lost 60 Pounds, and Transformed His Health Using Good Stress
Jeff Krasno, co-founder of Commune and Wanderlust, returns for his third appearance on the show with one of his most personal and transformative stories yet.Despite leading two of the most influential wellness platforms in the world, Jeff found himself battling brain fog, chronic fatigue, weight gain, and even pre-diabetes. He had access to the best health experts and cutting-edge protocols—but like so many of us, he had normalized what he now calls a “patently abnormal” way of living.That all changed when he strapped on a continuous glucose monitor and saw the numbers for himself.In this episode, Jeff shares how he used what he calls “Good Stress”—simple, intentional challenges like cold exposure, time-restricted eating, walking, and resistance training—to lose 60 pounds, sleep better, regain his focus, and feel more alive than he had in years.This isn’t a conversation about biohacking or quick fixes. It’s about realignment—learning how to live in harmony with how the human body was actually designed to function.Listeners will come away with practical tools they can implement immediately, along with a new understanding of why modern comfort is quietly making us sick—and how to reverse that trend with small, consistent shifts.Whether you're feeling stuck, tired, or out of sync with your health, this episode offers a refreshing and actionable perspective on what it really means to feel well.Send us a text message.
