Twins Alex and Elliott Perry not only talk about growth—in this episode, they also show it. Alex asks some tough questions about his brother’s road back from rock bottom. And Elliott talks more about the value of authenticity, vulnerability and accountability in overcoming self-doubt and negative thinking.

From the uneven bars to a balanced life, Liukin talks about the importance of not relying solely on skills or achievement but in finding purpose and passion. The whole world applauded her for perfection on the floor, but when she retired from gymnastics, she wondered, “Who am I?”

Something special happens inside a little, white-brick building on Lovers Lane in Dallas, Texas, and even the neighbors have noticed. Customers step out of Xristofer Crowder’s salon, Coloured on Lovers,  like they don’t have a care in the world. It’s because he offers a listening ear without judgment and strives to make others feel truly heard and supported through life’s valleys.

Everybody talks about work-life balance. Alex and Elliott find out how pro golfer Martin Flores does it—and how he had to make tough career choices to be the father he always planned to be without losing the income he wanted to make. The key word here: priorities.

When Bri Forrest heard the marriage proposal, she literally felt bad energy shooting from her fingertips. The universe was telling her, once again, to stop abandoning herself for her relationships. So, she said no to the fiancé and stepped away from others who were holding her down. In this episode, Alex learns her techniques for grounding herself and finding balance.

Today’s guest has been called a machine programmed for success. But achievement didn’t make Kyle Towb happy. Instead, this entrepreneur happened upon the path to peace thousands of miles away from home. Alex leans into Kyle’s positive energy to discover how The Machine let go of the world and opened up to the journey.

When one bad moment goes viral, how do you recover? Tiffany Gomas isn’t proud of what happened aboard an American Airlines flight out of Dallas last summer. For the first time, she reveals why it happened and how she’s moving on.

How finding the balance brings your soul back True fulfillment in life comes down to two things: Column A and Column B. But, too often, the work responsibilities that dominate Column A overshadow the pure joy of what fills up Column B—family, friends and everything not related to work. That awareness of balance has caused today’s guest, Andrew Welker, to reignite his life more than once. Here’s how he got Alex to set off on this journey toward recognizing what is really important and seeking deeper experiences on the daily.

Alex knew his twin brother, Elliott, was in a very scary place. Yet he could not help him, but only support and direct him to mental health professionals. Share in this very candid conversation as Alex goes deep with his twin—and his first guest—about expressing love and the pressure of always feeling the need to help others instead of yourself. And Elliott opens up about the challenges of finding joy, wholeness and peace after hitting rock-bottom.
