A thoughtful and educational conversation with Dr. Nab explores tremors, brain health, and the powerful connection between the gut and the nervous system. The discussion reframes symptoms as meaningful signals rather than issues to ignore, unpacking different types of tremors and potential root causes such as nutrient deficiencies, toxins, stress, and gut imbalances. With a functional medicine lens, the episode highlights the importance of early awareness, foundational lifestyle habits, and proactive brain care—showing how small, informed changes can support long-term neurological health and overall vitality.  Key Takeaways:   Symptoms like tremors are signals from the body, inviting us to look deeper rather than accept them as inevitable.  Brain health is closely tied to gut integrity, nutrient status, and the body's ability to manage toxins.  Foundational habits—movement, hydration, and whole foods—play a critical role in protecting cognitive health.  Stress and nervous system overload can amplify underlying imbalances over time.  Proactive testing and early awareness help put the odds in favor of long-term brain resilience and vitality.  About Dr. Georgia Nab:  Dr. Georgia Nab entered the chiropractic industry in 1992 by owning a chiropractic clinic in Wichita, Kansas. From 2012 through 2017, she joined a manufacturing facility in Wisconsin to provide chiropractic care, nutritional counseling, and educational training to the employees at the company's corporate headquarters. While there, she authored her book called 1 Degree of Change, in addition to numerous other publications.   In 2015, she graduated with her Masters in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine degree. She is currently an adjunct professor at the University of Western States for their masters program. Dr. Nab is a Certified Nutrition Specialist from the Board for Nutrition Specialist and works with Affiliated Monitors, an independent monitoring company for professionals.  Connect with Dr. Georgia Nab at:  https://www.authenticdoc.life/   Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at:  https://smallchangesbigshifts.com  hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com  https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts  https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts  https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco  Thanks for listening!  Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

February invites reflection on self-love and compassion, making it the perfect time for a heartfelt conversation with author, speaker, and personal development coach Ginger Rothhaas. In this episode, the discussion explores why being human is hard — and how it can become gentler through self-compassion, awareness, and intentional practices. Drawing from her book Being Human: 150 Practices to Make It Easier and her work through Compassion Fix, Ginger shares how neuroscience, psychology, and spirituality intersect to help us navigate self-criticism, overwhelm, and disconnection. From the power of the Compassionate Pause to learning when it's time to make a personal "U-turn," this conversation offers grounded wisdom, hope, and practical tools for living with more ease, alignment, and kindness toward ourselves and others.  Key Takeaways:   Self-compassion is a learned skill that helps interrupt self-criticism and create emotional safety.  Pausing to reflect on what's "mine to do" can shift overwhelm into clarity and empowerment.  The way we talk to ourselves shapes our sense of worth, resilience, and hope.  Compassion for self and others grows when we recognize our shared humanity.  Small, intentional practices can realign us with our purpose and make being human feel lighter.  About Ginger Rothhaas:  Ginger is an author, speaker, and personal-development coach who helps people with the hard parts of being human. She works with clients in the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and theology to help them quiet racing minds, practice self-compassion, improve relationships, and trust their decisions. She founded Compassion Fix in 2017 by herself in Brookside and moved to a larger space in Leawood as she has built a team of 10 therapists and coaches who help children, teens, and adults navigate life.   Ginger began her career as a change-management business consultant in a large firm. She also was an adjunct professor at Xavier University. And then at age 40 decided to go to seminary. She studied world religions and theology for four years, achieving a Masters in Theology and Divinity. Following that she became a coach, wrote a book, and founded Compassion Fix. Most importantly she is mom to Chase and Lauren, a college sophomore and a college freshman, one in Manhattan Kansas and one in Manhattan New York. She loves spending time in the flint hills of Kansas and swimming in the ocean as often as possible.   Connect with Ginger Rothhaas at:  https://www.compassionfix.com/   https://www.instagram.com/gingerrothhaas/?hl=en   https://amzn.to/3NG2PaQ   Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at:  https://smallchangesbigshifts.com  hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com  https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts  https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts  https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco  Thanks for listening!  Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

Heart Health Month opens with a powerful, eye-opening conversation on cholesterol, root-cause healing, and whole-person wellness. Dr. Georgia Nabs explore why cholesterol is so misunderstood, the real story behind statins, and how inflammation, blood sugar, liver health, and lifestyle choices all intersect to shape heart health. From functional testing and advanced diagnostics to simple, practical daily shifts, this episode reframes what it truly means to care for your heart. Blending science, compassion, and lived experience, the conversation invites listeners to move beyond fear-based medicine and into empowered, informed, and proactive wellness—where education becomes the foundation for lasting health and vitality.  Key Takeaways:   True heart health begins by understanding root causes, not just managing symptoms or lab numbers.  Cholesterol is more complex than "good" and "bad," and context matters more than fear-based assumptions.  Inflammation, blood sugar balance, and liver health play a central role in cardiovascular wellness.  Empowered patients ask better questions and become active participants in their healing journey.  Sustainable wellness comes from education, consistency, and small daily choices that compound over time.  About Dr. Georgia Nab:  Dr. Georgia Nab entered the chiropractic industry in 1992 by owning a chiropractic clinic in Wichita, Kansas.

Dr. Michelle Robin and co-host Bayleigh Soza share a deep, heartfelt conversation about Bayleigh's experience with the Hoffman Process and the transformational lessons that followed. Spending a week completely offline, Bayleigh embraced self-reflection, released expectations, and allowed herself to fully connect with her emotions and the people around her. They discuss the power of unplugging from distractions, setting boundaries, and being present in relationships, as well as practical ways to navigate emotions and interpersonal dynamics during the holiday season. This episode highlights the importance of intentional growth, self-awareness, and creating space for meaningful connection in our daily lives.  Key Takeaways:   True transformation starts when we surrender expectations and remain open to the process.  Disconnecting from digital distractions creates space for self-reflection, deeper relationships, and personal growth.  Emotional awareness is as important as intellectual understanding—both must be acknowledged to navigate life effectively.  Growth often changes relationships; holding space for yourself and others allows mutual evolution without judgment.  Intentional boundaries and presence enhance connection, self-love, and resilience during challenging seasons.  Hoffman Essentials:  https://www.hoffmaninstitute.org/2-day-hoffman-essentials/   Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at:  https://smallchangesbigshifts.com  hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com  https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts  https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts  https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco  Thanks for listening!  Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

At just 11 years old, Benjamin Gardner is proving that kindness, creativity, and purpose can spark powerful change. Alongside his dad, Kyle, Benjamin shares how his love for pickleball led to the creation of Stinger Prints—a small business with a big heart. What started as a 3D-printed bag tag has grown into a ripple of generosity supporting the Kansas City Stingers Youth Foundation. Through entrepreneurship, giving, and community, Benjamin reminds us that no one is too young to make a difference and that the best businesses are built with heart.  Key Takeaways:   Kindness and creativity can turn a simple idea into something with lasting community impact.  Giving back creates joy—not just for others, but for yourself.  You're never too young to lead with purpose and make a difference.  Parents play a key role in nurturing curiosity, confidence, and compassion.  The most meaningful success comes from doing what you love and sharing it with others.  About Benjamin Gardner:  Benjamin Gardner is a 5th grader at Brookwood Elementary School. He prefers to go by Benjamin — though some people call him Ben — as he's currently making the switch. He has three sisters and no brothers, and they're all very nice to him.  Benjamin participates in several activities, including choir, volleyball, and band. He's also known for his strong tech skills — his classmates often call him "the techy dude," a nickname he proudly embraces.  He is the owner of a small business called Stinger Prints, inspired by the Kansas City Stingers, the National Pickleball League team of Kansas City. Benjamin's dad plays on the team, which helped spark the connection. Through Stinger Prints, Benjamin 3D-prints pickleball-themed bag tags, such as miniature pickleballs or paddles personalized with names. He sells his creations at SW19 at the stadium during "Stinger Week" and is currently working on launching a website.  Benjamin's business also gives back — 10% of the proceeds made during Stinger Week are donated to the Kansas City Stingers Youth Foundation. In addition, he assists his dad with youth foundation clinics. Occasionally, his sisters help out at his stand when they're looking for something to do.  Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at:  https://smallchangesbigshifts.com  hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com  https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts  https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts  https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco  Thanks for listening!  Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

Healing often begins with awareness—the quiet moment you choose to look within and face what's beneath the surface. In this conversation, Carron Montgomery, author, counselor, and trauma specialist, shares how her work through The Invisible Riptide and upcoming graphic novel The Real Truth About Lena helps others navigate anxiety, grief, and emotional growth with compassion. Drawing from her experience as a mother, therapist, and advocate for mental health, Carron reminds us that true healing isn't about avoiding the waves but learning to move through them with grace, empathy, and community.  Key Takeaways:   Awareness is the starting point for healing—it allows us to name what we feel and begin to release it.  Children and adults alike need tools to understand their emotions, not hide from them.  Empathy and compassion can transform pain into connection and restore our sense of belonging.  Community and open conversations about mental health help break the stigma and foster hope.  Healing becomes powerful when we use our experiences to guide and uplift others.  Join us for the Kindness Campaign and help create a ripple of compassion in your community!

Before the breakthrough comes the pause, the moment when you choose to look within and prepare your heart for what's next.   In this intimate conversation, Bayleigh Soza sits down with Dr. Michelle Robin to share her reflections before beginning The Hoffman Process- a transformative journey of healing and self-discovery. At just 26, Bayleigh opens up about the courage it takes to face generational patterns, practice self-awareness, and extend grace to herself and others.   Through the lens of motherhood, leadership, and inner growth, she reflects on what it means to live with intention and to prepare for change not by fixing yourself, but by meeting yourself with compassion. This episode reminds us that transformation doesn't start with the doing, it starts with the being.    Key Takeaways:   The "before" of healing is sacred—it's where awareness begins to take root.  Self-compassion opens the door to deeper connection with others.  Breaking patterns is an act of love—for yourself, your family, and future generations.  True leadership is born from grace, vulnerability, and authenticity.  Growth begins with small, intentional choices to pause, reflect, and begin again.  Join us for the Kindness Campaign and help create a ripple of compassion in your community!
