010. Feeling It All with Rebekka Mars

In the Season 1 finale of The Pretty Chill Podcast, I sit down with my partner Rebekka Mars—yoga teacher, aliveness coach, somatic practitioner, and host of Modern Mindfulness. We talk about what it really means to feel alive: honoring not just joy and excitement, but also grief, sadness, and the full spectrum of being human. Rebekka shares her lifelong journey with yoga, the role of music in her classes, and how these practices continue to serve as gateways to healing and transformation.We also explore her evolution into coaching and somatic experiencing, where she helps people slow down, reconnect to their bodies, and move through transitions with more courage and clarity. From conversations on grief and spirituality to the unseen ways our bodies carry wisdom, Rebekka offers insight into living with more presence, awareness, and aliveness.

009. The Long Game of Health with Jason Prall

John sits down with longtime friend and creative collaborator Jason Prall—filmmaker, health explorer, and his co-creator of The Human Longevity Project. Together they dive into what it really takes to live well for the long haul, blending ancient wisdom, modern science, and the power of simplicity. From the slow rhythms of Blue Zone communities to the grounding practices of Ayurveda and indigenous healing, Jason shares lessons learned from traveling the world in search of longevity’s true roots. The conversation touches on plant medicine, the nervous system, and why health isn’t found in gadgets or quick fixes, but in connection—to nature, to others, and to yourself. It’s a reminder that the real secrets to health aren’t secrets at all—they’ve been here all along.

008. Happily Hustling with Peter Scott IV

This week on the Pretty Chill Podcast, I sit down with my friend Peter Scott IV—entrepreneur, mindset coach, dad, and just an all-around good human. We dive into everything from breaking family patterns to what it means to really be present in your work and your relationships. Peter shares openly about his childhood—moving between homes, navigating addiction in the family, and how he transformed pain into purpose. We talk about joy as a default setting, masking vulnerability with humor, and how the coaching world has evolved (for better and for worse). He also drops some serious wisdom on what it takes to actually build a coaching business that delivers real results—not just hype. We also get into fatherhood, fear of conflict, and why “done is better than perfect” might just be your new life motto. If you’re a creative, entrepreneur, or someone who feels a new chapter coming, this one’s for you. Catch us chopping it up on coaching, creating space, and being intentional with your energy.

This week on the Pretty Chill Pod, I’m hanging out with the one and only Dr. Heather Sandison—naturopathic doctor, author of Reversing Alzheimer’s, and straight-up powerhouse when it comes to healthy aging. We talk about her  journey from chronic jaw pain to becoming a leading voice in brain health and longevity, and why growing older doesn’t have to mean falling apart. We get into all the good stuff: how sleep, stress, food, purpose, and community play into aging well, why mindset actually matters, and how she’s literally helping people reverse Alzheimer’s. Heather’s built something special with her memory care community, Marama, and she’s launching a new podcast too. This one’s full of insights, inspiration, and permission to ditch the hustle and take your damn nap. Check it out!

006. Finding the Birdman Within featuring Brad Wark

This week, I sit down with my longtime friend Brad Wark. We’ve known each other for over two decades—first bonding over sports, now over heart, healing, and creativity. Brad shares how a heart-opening ceremony shifted his life, leading to deeper self-worth, meeting his wife Elise, and awakening a whole new layer of expression through his art. We talk about stepping away from ego, reconnecting with creativity, and raising kids with more love and presence than we had growing up. We also dream out loud about land, nature, and building spaces where people can come to rest, reflect, and reset. Brad’s story is about evolving—creatively, spiritually, and as a man.
