If you’ve ever wanted to literally paint a picture of your trauma and stare it right in the face, this episode is for you. Eli brings on viral artist Shannon Lane, who took the internet by storm by literally painting the "demons" of depression and anxiety. Shannon gets incredibly raw about turning to a paintbrush when she couldn’t afford expensive therapy, how her viral "You Are Not Alone" project became a digital safe haven for thousands of grieving people, and why avoiding your dark feelings only makes them stronger. Tune in for a deeply emotional, hilarious, and inspiring conversation on why you need to stop outrunning your anxiety, how to set strict boundaries as an empath, and why giving yourself permission to make "rubbish" art might actually save your mental health. About the Guest: Shannon Lane is a UK-based artist and digital creator known for her profoundly moving mental health paintings. After using art to navigate her own severe depression and anxiety, Shannon went massively viral for her "You Are Not Alone" project—a powerful visual representation of community solidarity against the "demons" of mental illness. She uses her growing platform to destigmatize mental health, share her journey with ADHD and anxiety, and encourage others to find healing through creative expression.

Are you exhausted by Instagram trainers promising you'll drop 30 pounds in 30 days if you just "grind harder"? In this unfiltered guest episode, Eli sits down with his own personal trainer, Ambrose, to expose the absolute BS of the modern fitness industry. Ambrose breaks down why he walked away from a six-figure tech job at Meta to become a trainer who actually gives a damn about your mental health. They dive deep into the real reasons you aren't seeing results—unpacking how stress, binge eating, and a society designed to keep you sedentary are secretly sabotaging your goals. From redefining what it means to track your habits to realizing why your late-night Uber Eats habit is just a coping mechanism for your anxiety, this episode is a massive reality check. Get ready to stop beating yourself up over the scale and finally learn the mental shifts required to build a body (and a life) you actually love. About the Guest: Ambrose is an online fitness coach, athlete, and the founder of Body by Ambrose. After leaving behind a six-figure corporate career in tech (including a stint at Meta) and leveraging his background as a forensic accountant, Ambrose pivoted to the fitness industry to relentlessly call out its BS. He specializes in helping everyday people—especially women—achieve massive physical and mental transformations by focusing on habit-tracking, stress management, and realistic performance goals rather than toxic diet culture.  Get 15% Off All Ambrose Coaching Services w/ Promo Code SelfHype15  Follow And Learn More: @bodybyambrose // https://bio.to/bodybyambrose   Join My Coaching Membership: JOIN HERE   Healthly Love Club: JOIN HERE   Want A Free Call To Learn About My 8-Week Healing Bootcamp?
