In this repost episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor Betts sits down with Jessica Bennett for a Sovereign Session that connects health, truth, and personal responsibility. Jessica shares how COVID-19 became the "straw that broke the camel's back," pushing her from compliance to questioning the narrative—and how her medical background helped her spot what wasn't adding up. She opens up about healing her Vermont-rooted "farm-to-table" foundations, recovering from Boise-based life stress, and navigating Hashimoto's disease through root-cause strategies, lifestyle shifts, and long-term consistency. The conversation lands on sovereignty: how to reclaim agency over your body, your beliefs, and your income—by building a skills-based online business that creates real impact.

Episode Highlights: awakening moment, propaganda vs truth, traditional values, root-cause healing, autoimmune recovery, stress and nervous system, clean living foundations, perimenopause and hormones, women's health education gaps, body fat and brain fog fixes, coaching as sovereignty, pay-to-pay-attention mindset

Takeaways:

• Question narratives without outsourcing your intuition
• Genetics aren't destiny when environment and habits change
• Sleep, food, movement, light, and stress are non-negotiables
• Healing is layered and takes consistency over perfection
• Women deserve real education on hormones and perimenopause
• Paying for support increases commitment and follow-through
• Build sovereignty by turning your skill into a clear solution

In this throwback episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor sits down with Mark Groves for a raw, high-level conversation about social media, nervous system health, and what it actually takes to stay authentic when the internet is trying to hijack your brain. Mark breaks down why he left Instagram (and why he came back), how validation and family dynamics can quietly shape our online behavior, and why modern platforms keep the body stuck in a constant state of social "threat." They dive into addiction, boundaries, oversharing vs real vulnerability, and the uncomfortable truth: you can't be free if you can't choose "no."

If you've ever felt drained, reactive, or dependent on metrics—this episode will help you reset your relationship with attention, identity, and integrity.

Episode Highlights: social media addiction, nervous system regulation, validation wounds, mother-son dynamics, boundaries vs walls, oversharing vs vulnerability, authenticity with strategy, dopamine loops, blue light and sleep, online criticism resilience, identity and freedom, choosing "no"

Takeaways:

• Social media can trigger survival wiring, not just "bad habits"
• Validation seeking often masks a deeper relational wound
• Your body treats social threat like physical threat
• Build boundaries by starting with "walls" then refining
• Oversharing asks others to hold what they didn't earn
• Vulnerability shares the lesson, not the emotional dump
• Freedom comes from choice, not dependence

In this episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor Betts brings back a hard-hitting, wide-ranging conversation with former Canadian Member of Parliament Michelle Ferreri.

Recorded during a period of growing political fatigue in Canada, this episode breaks down the questions many Canadians are asking but rarely hear answered clearly: why public trust has collapsed, why so many people feel checked out, and how the system actually works beneath the headlines.

Kaylor and Michelle cut through partisan noise to talk about incentives, accountability, addiction policy, harm reduction, MAiD, and the consequences of removing personal responsibility in the name of compassion. The conversation challenges the idea that awareness alone is enough — and makes the case for sovereignty starting at the individual and community level.

This episode is being brought back because the issues haven't gone away — and because it still delivers what most conversations don't: clarity, honesty, and pressure to think instead of disengage.

Episode Highlights: Canada stay or go, political perception vs reality, voter fatigue, trust collapse after COVID, echo chambers and algorithms, red pill "whole bottle" mindset, corruption vs competence, propaganda and groupthink, harm reduction critique, addiction policy debate, MAiD ethical concerns, personal sovereignty and responsibility

Takeaways:

• Don't confuse political marketing with real outcomes
• Hopelessness spreads fast when people stop believing their actions matter
• Echo chambers make you feel informed while quietly draining your agency
• A small number of people often drive big decisions—so speaking up still matters
• Harm reduction without recovery can become long-term enabling
• Systems don't heal people—connection, purpose, and accountability do
• Sovereignty starts locally: habits, community, skills, and honest conversations
