What if two and a half minutes in cold water could reset your nervous system, sharpen your intuition, and make you a better leader? This week, Jazzmyn sits down with Kris Rice, founder of Chill Pod, to explore how a DIY horse trough in her backyard sparked a wellness product brand — and a whole new philosophy on what it means to show up for yourself.

Kris shares the deeply personal journey that led her to cold plunging, how her background in holistic coaching shaped her founder mindset, and why she believes your inexperience can actually be your greatest superpower. Together, Jazzmyn and Kris unpack the real reasons founders struggle to trust their gut, the power of non-negotiable self-care practices, and why redefining success on your own terms is the antidote to burnout.

In this episode:

• What cold plunging actually is (and why it doesn't require a bag of ice)
• How resetting your nervous system can make you a calmer, more decisive leader
• The business boundaries Kris had to learn the hard way
• Why walking meetings and meditation are her non-negotiables
• What it means to finally hold the physical product you dreamed up from scratch

Whether you're a founder, a creative, or just someone tired of running on empty — this episode will inspire you to slow down, ground in, and show up as your most resourced self.

In this episode, Jazz sits down with Dr. Monica P Band—aka “The Mindful Healer”—to talk about why she chose LinkedIn as her primary platform, how long-form writing gives her room for nuance, and why LinkedIn feels “safer” than more aesthetic-driven spaces like Instagram. Dr. Band shares how she uses LinkedIn like a professional diary for therapists, why she avoids reactionary posting, and how thoughtful comment culture has helped her build community without needing video or curated visuals.

They unpack the pressure of being perceived online (especially as a practicing therapist with clients who may follow), the value of choosing one or two primary platforms instead of trying to do everything, and how creating for personal fulfillment—not consumption—can be more sustainable. The conversation also centers on visibility as a healing practice, including cultural messages about humility, invisibility, and code-switching, and how being a “whole person” can support burnout prevention. Dr. Band also shares that she has finished writing and submitted a book proposal inspired in part by grief after losing her dog, Ember. Drawing from her academic background, she’s working on a more accessible guide for multicultural people to embrace their full selves, validate lived experiences like discrimination and intergenerational trauma, and navigate depth, safety, and connection—especially in intercultural relationships.

Suicide is not a bad word.

But for decades, it has been treated like one.

In this deeply honest and expansive conversation, Jazzmyn sits down with licensed therapist and suicide loss advocate Elyce Mandich to talk about what it means to build visibility around a topic most people avoid.

After losing her mother to suicide at just ten years old, Elyce didn’t immediately set out to specialize in suicide prevention and suicide loss. But over time, her lived experience, clinical training, and post-traumatic growth converged into a mission: to help people talk about suicide without shame — and to remember loved ones as whole humans, not just how they died.

Inside this episode, we explore:

• The difference between suicide prevention and suicide loss support
• How to share vulnerable lived experience ethically on social media
• Navigating self-disclosure as a therapist and business owner
• Why suicide content doesn’t “perform” — and why that shouldn’t stop you
• Rejection in publishing and entrepreneurship (and how to pivot with power)
• Building a legacy beyond trends
• Letting your visibility evolve as you do

This conversation is about more than mental health. It’s about ownership of narrative. It’s about carrying your story without letting it define you. It’s about choosing purpose over popularity.

If you are building something meaningful — even when it doesn’t trend — this episode is your reminder:

You are allowed to speak about what matters to you. You are allowed to pivot.
You are allowed to expand beyond the box you started in.

And some conversations are worth having, even when the algorithm doesn’t approve.

If you or someone you know has been impacted by suicide—through thoughts of suicide, a suicide attempt, or the loss of a loved one—you don’t have to hold it alone. Support is available right now.

In the U.S., call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7.
If you’re in immediate danger, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
