In this LinkedIn strategy masterclass, I sit down with William Peake, Global Managing Partner at Harneys, who transformed from standup comedian to one of legal's most influential voices on social media. We expose why traditional law firm marketing keeps partners invisible and reveal how real human communication can transform your professional presence.William reveals why boring announcement posts destroy your credibility. He explains how he posts twice daily while running a global law firm without spending hours online. He breaks down the myths around LinkedIn perfectionism and shows you exactly how busy lawyers can build authentic connections that actually drive business results.Whether you're a senior partner posting obligatory updates once a month, a legal marketing director fighting partner resistance, or a lawyer who thinks you're too serious for social media, this conversation will change everything. It proves that LinkedIn success has nothing to do with becoming an influencer. It's about showing up as an actual human being.

What we cover:

• Why speaking like a real person beats polished corporate speak every time

• The fatal "delighted to announce" mistake that kills your engagement

• William's twice daily posting routine that takes under a minute

• Strategic content timing: nostalgic Sundays, professional mornings, lighthearted afternoons

I sat down with Mike Fave, metabolic health coach and bioenergetics expert, to expose the dark side of keto, carnivore, and intermittent fasting.

Mike reveals why high-performers are wrecking their metabolisms while thinking they're "optimizing" and explains how stress hormones literally cannibalize your body tissue. He destroys the insulin hypothesis myth and shows you how to reclaim your energy, fertility, and thyroid function through strategic carbohydrate refeeding.

Whether you're a burnt-out executive, a former keto dieter who can't lose weight despite eating 1200 calories, or someone terrified that sugar will give you diabetes, this conversation will revolutionize how you understand metabolism.

• Why keto works initially but destroys you long-term

• How energy deficits force your body to shut down reproduction and digestion

• Why low-carb crashes your thyroid function

• The fertility-metabolism connection

• Sugar fear deprogramming: the two-week experiment

• Real vs fake carbs: why orange juice heals but blueberry muffins harm

• Executive meal strategies and practical solutions

0:02:06 The common journey: paleo → keto → IF → OMAD → carnivore → disaster

0:04:29 Why keto feels amazing initially: stress hormones and confirmation bias

0:14:04 The insulin hypothesis: elegant theory, wrong conclusion

0:20:02 Stress hormone breakdown: how cortisol cannibalizes protein tissue

0:24:33 Reproductive and digestive shutdown: your body's non-negotiable cuts

0:31:08 Meet Jessica: the attorney archetype (stubborn weight, fertility, thyroid)

0:38:03 Why forcing T3 on a low-carb body backfires

0:42:36 Breaking the sugar fear: the two-week experiment framework

0:51:03 The muffin myth: "high-carb" processed foods are actually high-fat

0:53:00 Body composition wins: DEXA scans reveal muscle loss on keto

0:56:22 Stress management through carbs: why cravings are intelligent

1:01:42 Executive snack strategies: dried fruit, chocolate, macadamias

1:08:04 Meal prep solutions: restaurants, shakes, personal chefs

In this guided sleep meditation episode, I transport you to a cozy wooden chalet hidden in the snow-covered mountains. This immersive winter journey is designed to quiet your racing thoughts and guide you gently into deep, restorative sleep.

This isn't a conversation or interview. This is your personal sleep escape. I walk you through a richly detailed winter wonderland, from the first crunch of snow beneath your boots to the hypnotic dance of firelight and the breathtaking beauty of northern lights painting the night sky.

In this guided relaxation episode, I guide you out of constant thinking and into direct sensory experience. This meditation uses memory-based anchoring through all five senses to help you shift from mental overwhelm into embodied calm.

This isn't a conversation or interview. This is your personal relaxation companion. I walk you through a scientifically grounded technique that activates your parasympathetic nervous system by anchoring awareness in sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. Each sensory memory creates a physiological shift toward ease and presence.

Whether you're stuck in analysis paralysis, feeling disconnected from your body after hours of screen time, or simply need a midday reset, this meditation will help you transition from the thinking mind to the feeling body. And the beauty is that these anchors become yours to use anytime, anywhere.

What this meditation includes:

• Breath foundation: Gentle settling through extended exhale
• Visual anchoring: Recalling a calming place from your own experience
• Auditory anchoring: Bringing to mind soothing sounds that signal safety
• Olfactory anchoring: Accessing comfort through remembered scents
• Gustatory anchoring: Tasting memories of warmth and enjoyment
• Kinesthetic anchoring: Feeling supported through touch sensations
• Integration: Blending remembered calm with present moment awareness
• Grounded return: Coming back feeling steady, clear, and centered

In this deeply raw conversation, I sit down with Quinn Stanfield Bruce, former corporate executive turned humanness visionary, for the most vulnerable episode we've ever recorded. Quinn shares his decades-long battle with cocaine addiction. And I reveal my own work addiction that enabled my ex-husband's substance abuse.

Quinn exposes the uncomfortable truth about enablement: staying with an addict isn't love, it's codependency. I share what it's like to mix drug cocktails at 3am because you're too afraid to call an ambulance. And together we unpack why workaholism is just as destructive as substance abuse—it's just socially acceptable.

This isn't a conversation about recovery as a destination. It's about recognizing that any time you use something outside yourself to change how you feel—whether it's cocaine, work, or status—you're running from the same core wound: I am not enough.

• The Core of Addiction: Why the decision to use drugs or alcohol is simply wanting to change how one feels, regardless of the substance.

• The Escalation: How drug use went from early experimentation (weed) to a cocaine habit, which allowed for staying awake and creating maximum damage.

• The Deadly Cocktail: The reality of co-addiction, using massive doses of sedatives like Valium to cope with stimulant use.

• Enabling vs. Love: Why the only loving action for a partner of an addict in active addiction is to leave and shut the door.

• Workaholism as an Addiction: The "insidious" parallel between drug use and work as a form of escapism and a void filler.

• The Sneaky High: How sneaking into the office at the weekend provides an adrenaline kick and thrill similar to having an affair or taking drugs.

• Self-Worth and Conditional Love: The root cause of high-performance addiction and finding worth in professional status rather than unconditional love.

• The Path to Change: Being willing to change everything in life and what that first step looks like.

Quinn doesn't sugarcoat recovery. He reveals that he'd rather have been dead than continue living as a functioning addict with house, car, marriage, kids, and job intact. And I share the painful realization that my work addiction fed his cocaine addiction in a toxic codependent dance.

• 05:25 The brutal truth: addiction was never recreational, just a way to change how he felt.

• 08:16 The breaking point: realizing the rest of his life would be spent routinely taking drugs to cope.

• 09:39 The drug of choice: why cocaine was "amazing" compared to weed and alcohol.

• 12:00 The cocktail: taking up to 110 milligrams of Valium in one night to sleep.

• 16:27 The hard truth about leaving: why anything but walking away is enabling.

• 19:25 The connection: how a partner's workaholism bred codependency and guilt.

• 25:26 The amazing parallel: sneaking into the office felt like an affair and gave an adrenaline high.

• 28:03 The real dishonesty: using work to alter a state and fulfill a void.

• 31:28 Parenting and pride: learning to tell children you are proud of them just because.
