Founders Meeting: Inside the Vision of E-Motion Wellness

This week’s Founders Meeting episode is a special one. I had the chance to sit down and interview my business partner and the founder of E-Motion Wellness, Jason Turner. We went beyond the surface and talked about the vision behind the brand, the journey it took to build it, and what continues to drive everything we do today. Jason shares some real insight into leadership, resilience, and what it actually means to create something with purpose, not just profit. If you’ve ever been curious about the “why” behind E-Motion Wellness or wanted a closer look at the mindset behind the mission, this is one you don’t want to miss. Stay tuned!

We’re bringing a powerful conversation to the E-Motion Wellness Podcast, with Mark England - co-found of Enlifted

Mark England—co-founder of Enlifted and a pioneer in mindset and communication coaching—is joining us to break down how the words you speak and the stories you tell yourself shape your entire reality. With over 15 years of experience, a background in education, and having coached thousands around the world, Mark has built a system that helps people take control of their mindset through language, breath, and awareness. In this episode, we dive into how to eliminate self-sabotage, shift out of victim mentality, and create a stronger, more disciplined version of yourself from the inside out. If you’re serious about growth, performance, and leveling up every area of your life, this is one you don’t want to miss.

Meet the Humans: Jamie Corless — Building Recovery That Actually Holds Up in the Real World

A lot of programs can get someone sober for 30 days. Very few can help them stay that way when life starts living again. In this episode of Meet the Humans, we sit down with Jamie Corless, Director of Recovery Integration at e-motion wellness — one of the people responsible for ensuring what happens inside treatment actually translates to the real world outside it. Jamie has been instrumental in building the systems that connect mental health care, addiction treatment, and sober living into something that resembles real continuity — not just handoffs and hope. From overseeing IOP and PHP programming to operating sober living environments, Jamie lives in the gap where most people fall through. This conversation goes beyond titles and into the mechanics of recovery that actually sticks. We get into: * Why most treatment models fail the moment structure disappears * What “recovery integration” actually means (and why it’s usually missing) * The role of accountability, environment, and consistency in long-term change * How crisis management really works when it’s not theoretical * Why physical training and mindset work aren’t extras — they’re foundational Jamie also shares how their background as a CrossFit coach, recovery coach, and Enlifted mindset coach shapes a more physiology-driven, action-oriented approach to healing — one that doesn’t rely on insight alone to create change. This is a conversation about building people back up in a way that can survive real life — not just treatment.

The Role of the Outsider: Why “Joey the Moron” Might Be the Most Important Voice in Addiction Conversations

Not everyone in the addiction conversation has lived it—and that’s exactly why this episode matters. In this episode of the e-motion podcast, we break down the role of Joey, better known as “Joey the Moron” from 2 Addicts & A Moron. While his co-hosts bring lived experience in addiction and recovery, Joey represents something just as critical: the perspective of the everyday person trying to understand it all. Joey asks the questions most people are thinking—but don’t say out loud. The uncomfortable ones. The blunt ones. The ones that cut through clinical language and get to what actually makes sense in real life. This conversation explores why addiction recovery needs more than experts and lived experience—it needs translation. It needs curiosity. It needs someone willing to challenge assumptions, call out confusion, and keep the conversation grounded in reality. We get into: * Why the “outsider perspective” is essential in addiction and mental health conversations * The danger of overcomplicating recovery with clinical jargon * How humor and honesty can break down stigma around addiction * What most people misunderstand about addiction—and why that matters * The role of curiosity in changing how we approach recovery Joey’s not here to be the expert. He’s here to ask better questions—and that might be exactly what this field has been missing. If you’ve ever felt like addiction conversations don’t make sense, this episode is for you.

Shannon O’Connor, LPC — Adolescents, Authenticity, and the Work That Actually Matters

Behind every credential is a human being who decided to walk toward the hard conversations instead of away from them. In this episode of Meet the Humans, we sit down with Shannon O’Connor, LPC, who recently earned her full clinical licensure and now leads the adolescent program at e-motion wellness. But this conversation isn’t about letters behind a name. It’s about the path that gets someone there — and what kind of person chooses to work with teenagers when things are messy, emotional, and very real. Shannon talks about the experiences that shaped her, what drew her into counseling, and why working with adolescents requires something most systems forget: genuine presence, patience, and the ability to connect with young people before trying to “fix” them. We explore how culture, family dynamics, and identity influence the way young people see themselves — and why adolescence is one of the most important windows to reshape self-concept, emotional regulation, and resilience. You’ll hear Shannon’s perspective on: • What does earning full licensure actually represent beyond the credential • Why adolescents need authenticity more than authority • How family systems shape the beliefs teenagers carry about themselves • The difference between managing behavior and understanding the nervous system behind it • What gives her hope when working with young people who feel stuck, misunderstood, or written off At e-motion, we believe you deserve to know the humans behind the work. Not just their credentials — but their story, their philosophy, and how they actually show up for people when things get hard. Because transparency isn’t a marketing strategy here. It’s a standard.
