    285. Year in Review 2025 and Year in Preview 2026
    Jan 7 2026
    "This year didn't knock me out all at once — it chipped away at me. And somehow, that's what taught me surrender, trust, and confidence." -Kristen Olson "I don't need to have the whole plan — I just need the courage to keep showing up, trusting the work, and letting the next step reveal itself." -Ashley Knight Every year, we sit down for one of our most meaningful conversations of the entire season — our annual Year in Review and Year in Preview, and for the seventh year running, I'm joined by the one and only Ashley Simone Knight . This episode isn't about perfection or polished highlight reels. It's about real reflection, honest growth, deep gratitude, and setting intentions for what's next — personally, professionally, and spiritually. Together, Ashley and I unpack what 2025 actually looked like behind the scenes: the breakdowns, the breakthroughs, the lessons in timing, confidence, surrender, community, and what it really means to keep showing up when you're tired but still called. We talk about: Why 2025 felt like a year of being broken down — and rebuiltThe power of confidence after doing the workLetting go of control and learning to surrender without quittingThe role of community, mentors, and chosen familyNavigating career uncertainty, relationships, and self-trustWhy "being yourself" is not easy — but it's valuableHow rest, fun, and alignment are non-negotiables moving into 2026 As we look ahead, we share what we're hoping for in 2026 — not rigid goals, but intentions rooted in peace, flow, abundance, love, health, and clarity. If you're closing out a year feeling exhausted but hopeful… If you're entering a new season unsure but still willing… If you need a reminder that you're not behind — you're becoming… This episode is for you.

  • 283. The Future of Gut Health: Jordan Dozzi-Perry & Repose Health

    283. The Future of Gut Health: Jordan Dozzi-Perry & Repose Health
    Dec 9 2025
    "If you give nature—within your own body—the right preconditions, it finds a way to thrive." — Jordan Perry In this episode, KO sits down with Jordan Perry, founder of Repos Health, a groundbreaking, integrative therapy designed to heal the gut at the root cause — not just manage symptoms. From navigating seven years of chronic illness to building a science-backed system that has helped people with IBS, Crohn's, eczema, chronic fatigue, food sensitivities, UTIs, and more, Jordan shares the full origin story behind his innovative approach. We dive into: The real role of the gut microbiome in immune health, mental clarity & inflammation Why gut issues often show up only after deeper dysfunction has already begun How the Repos system combines prebiotics, probiotics, spore-based biotics, gut-lining repair, suppository therapy, hydration, self-massage, and breathwork to create whole-system healing Why suppository-based therapy is common internationally — and why the U.S. is late to the conversation How breathwork and somatic regulation support digestive healing and nervous-system balance Why your gut may actually be your first brain — not your second What the future of personalized gut health, microbiome testing & metabolite-driven solutions looks like Jordan is currently piloting clinical programs and connecting directly with people searching for answers after years of feeling dismissed by traditional healthcare. His mission is simple: help people get their lives back. If you've struggled with chronic digestive issues, fatigue, food sensitivities, or unexplained inflammation — or you're just curious about the next frontier of wellness — this conversation is a must-listen. Time Stamps: 00:00 – Welcome to Turmeric & Tequila + sponsor shout-outs 01:10 – Introducing guest Jordan "Dotsie" Perry of Repos Health 02:00 – Jordan's upbringing: Italian restaurant roots, community, nature & creativity 04:10 – How his personal health crash led to a 7-year struggle with chronic symptoms 07:20 – Discovering the microbiome and the scientific breadcrumb trail that changed everything 09:00 – Building the first version of the Repos Health kit — and why it worked when nothing else did 11:40 – Why chronic disease isolates people + the emotional/mental toll of poor gut health 13:00 – What Repos actually is: capsules, lining repair, suppository therapy, breathwork + why it's different from probiotics 18:20 – Why suppository-based therapy matters + why other countries use it more 20:00 – Who Repos Health is for: IBS, Crohn's, eczema, chronic constipation, fatigue, food sensitivities, UTIs & more 23:10 – The gut-brain connection + why digestive issues often show up after deeper problems begin 25:30 – Breathwork, somatic healing & nervous system regulation as part of real recovery 27:00 – Your "first brain": why the gut is the true engine of human behavior & cognition 30:00 – Microbiome individuality vs. universal needs of the gut lining 33:00 – The future of gut health: personalized testing, metabolites & next-gen therapies 35:00 – Jordan on being early in the movement + how Repos is entering clinical pilot studies 37:00 – How listeners can learn more, reach out, and explore whether Repos is right for them Jordan Dozzi- Perry: Jordan is the founder of Repose Health, a novel integrative digestive health therapy born of his own personal health journey. His self-directed research revealed to him how the gut microbiome and one's inflammation status both play critical roles in immune health and general resilience, inspiring his innovative therapeutic program that addresses root cause. With training in both science and fine art, he blends academic rigor with storytelling from his work in documentary film. When he's not building gut-health solutions or making inspiring media, you'll find him gardening, surfing, or exploring mountains by foot or splitboard. www.repose.health https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordan-dozzi-perry-b64655215/?skipRedirect=true @repose.health T&T DISCOUNT CODE: T&TKOA15% Connect with T&T: IG: @TurmericTequila Facebook: @TurmericAndTequila Website: www.TurmericAndTequila.com Host: Kristen Olson IG: @Madonnashero Tik Tok: @Madonnashero Website: www.KOAlliance.com WATCH HERE MORE LIKE THIS: https://youtu.be/ZCFQSpFoAgI?si=Erg8_2eH8uyEgYZF https://youtu.be/piCU9JboWuY?si=qLdhFKCGdBzuAeuI https://youtu.be/9Vs2JDzJJXk?si=dpjV31GDqTroUKWH

You'll also hear: – Why athletes, parents, coaches, and fitness humans should keep this checklist ready – What mistakes KO made (and how they made everything harder) – Mindset strategies for staying composed during medical uncertainty – Why simple comfort items impact recovery more than you think – How to advocate for yourself and manage the overwhelm This episode pairs with: • Part 1: Medical breakdown of rhabdo with expert Steve • Part 2: KO's personal rhabdo story and recovery timeline If you've ever walked into urgent care "just to check something," this episode might save you hours of stress. Stay ready so you don't have to get ready. Sponsors: • Colorado Clownfish Swim School – Life skills through sports, water safety training for all ages, and deep focus on drowning prevention in 2026.

    278. Love Is Blind Denver Breakdown: Dating Smarter in the Swipe Era
    Nov 4 2025
    "It's not enough to think confident — you have to show it. The inner work matters, but so does the outer energy you project into the world." — Kimmy Seltzer In this episode, Kristen M. Olson sits down with Kimmy Seltzer — a therapist-turned-dating-strategist and host of The Charisma Quotient podcast — to dissect modern love in the age of apps, filters, and fast connections. They explore: Kimmy's journey from therapist to style-confidence coach and media personality. Her signature outside-in method for building confidence and attraction. The connection between appearance, energy, and emotional readiness. What reality dating shows like Love Is Blind Denver and The Golden Bachelor reveal about our obsession with instant chemistry. Why rushing the dating process sabotages long-term connection — and how to start "data-dating" instead of "blind-dating." How to reframe being single as a period of self-alignment, not self-fixing. Key Takeaway: Confidence is a skill built both internally and externally — when you align your energy, mindset, and presentation, you attract from authenticity, not fear.
