Elle Russ chats with Jessica Viker - a Registered Nurse, with both a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Bachelor of Arts degree. In addition to over a decade of experience as a nurse at the bedside in multiple medical specialties, Jess is a certified health & wellness coach who has experienced navigating her own complex journey back to health after suffering from a sharp decline in her early 30s that medical management alone did not fix.

Utilizing a combination of a low-carb/high-fat diet protocol and proper hypothyroid management by her doctor, Jess transformed her exhausted, overweight, highly inflamed body back into the strong and healthy home it was meant to be. It instantly became a passion of hers to utilize her science education, personal experience, and understanding of human metabolism to help others who thought there was no hope of “normal” ever again.

Jess specializes in coaching those with medical diagnoses, whether newly diagnosed or chronic for years, to optimize their health. It’s a partnership between proper medical management by their medical team and diet and lifestyle management through coaching. Jess does not believe in a “one size fits all” approach to health, and tailors each client’s protocol to their particular situation, adapting as changes occur.

Jess lives in Los Angeles with her partner Jason and their kitties Margo and Moxxi. She loves spontaneous Disneyland trips, Halloween, playing video games with Jason, and creating bullet journal spreads in her spare time.

Elle Russ chats with Marian Clark - a Somatic Nervous System Coach on a mission to help women to free themselves of emotional overwhelm and create a life from a place of confidence and calm.

After struggling for two decades with her own health crisis she experienced the life-changing work of trauma-informed somatic therapy and coaching. This approach helped her to see how trauma-induced inner beliefs and subconscious behaviors, such as people pleasing, perfectionism, and overgiving, were the result of a dysregulated nervous system that in her case led to career burnout, chronic fatigue, autoimmune, and toxic relationships.

She now helps women to do this deeper work; to regulate their emotions and to heal their health.

Elle Russ chats with Kalee Boisvert - she has been in the financial industry for over 15 years, driven by her passion for money since a young age. Growing up in a single-parent household, she witnessed her mother's financial struggles and felt a strong desire to make a difference. Determined not to let her circumstances define her, Kalee embarked on her own journey to financial literacy.

Today, as a single mom and financially independent woman, Kalee is dedicated to supporting women in their financial lives. She firmly believes that no woman should experience anxiety about money, whether it's for supporting themselves, their family, or their future. Motivated by this personal goal, she pursued a career as a financial advisor, allowing her to directly empower and support women, alleviating their money-related stress and doubts.

Kalee continuously creates initiatives aimed at building a community of financially independent women who recognize their worth as earners and investors. Recognizing that money and investment discussions can be intimidating and overwhelming for women, she started hosting women-only events five years ago, providing a safe and comfortable space. These events cover various wealth topics and attract over 1000 women annually.

Furthermore, Kalee is the creator and host of The Wealth and Wellness podcast, which emphasizes the vital connection between net worth and self-worth. The podcast has experienced a steady increase in downloads of 30% per month. As a staunch advocate for financial literacy, she also writes articles on financial topics and has been published in Calgary's Child magazine with her article titled "Raising Money Savvy Children." Kalee has appeared on the Global Morning Show in Calgary to discuss methods of teaching children about money.

Kalee has shared her expertise on various panels, including the Divorce Symposium and Women in ETFs, addressing investment and money-related subjects. She has been invited to speak for numerous organizations and groups, such as the Young Women Lawyers Association, Articling Students Association, Young Women in Business, and Women in Energy. Her speaking engagements cover topics such as "Women Building Wealth," "Investing for Success," and "Money Mindset." Additionally, she serves as a sessional instructor for the "Investing 101" course with the Alberta Securities Commission. In 2020, Kalee was recognized as one of the 20 Rising Stars in Canada by Wealth Professionals and received the gold Young Achiever of the Year award.

To further her commitment to financial literacy, Kalee is set to release two books in 2023. The first is a children's picture book titled "MoneyWise Mabel's Bursting Bank," while the second is a non-fiction book called "Make Money Your Thing!" This book aims to instill confidence and empower individuals in their financial lives.

Elle Russ chats with Mandy Lemond - a former foster child turned Emmy Award-winning TV Producer. At just 7 years old, Lemond's father raped her and left her for dead...and that same night, he murdered Mandy's mother.

Lemond's father's crime left the Kentucky native a true orphan. Mandy aged out of foster care after spending more than 11 years in a group home. She recalls, “I went to college with $5 to my name." With the same tenacity Lemond used to overcome her childhood trauma, she graduated from Eastern Kentucky University and was immediately hired by the local NBC affiliate as a TV Reporter. Lemond continued to beat the odds – statistically, only 3% of foster youth have a college degree. 

Mandy's life finally seemed perfect, until December 2020, when Lemond's foster-adopted son was high on drugs and shot into the wrong home. The unintended target was a 5-year-old who nearly died and was blinded by the gunfire. Lemond’s nearly 20-year marriage crumbled and she found herself divorced with a son in jail and facing homelessness.

But, with the same determination she garnered as a child, Mandy found a new purpose. She developed the 5-method, which is featured in her memoir, The Fostered One. Lemond now serves globally, speaking to divorcees, parents, and children of those incarcerated, as well as those coping with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Elle Russ chats with Catharine Arnston - the Founder/CEO/Chief Scientific Officer of ENERGYbits® and expert in algae for wellness, nutrition, beauty, biohacking, mitochondria and longevity. She is a nationally recognized thought-leader, seasoned corporate executive, experienced entrepreneur and sought-after speaker. Catharine has an MBA, BA and is a Board-Certified Health Coach. 

Catharine's journey into the fascinating world of algae began in 2008 when her younger sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would improve her healing. Catharine left her 25-year corporate career to help her sister identify which foods were alkaline which led her to discovering algae - the most alkaline, chlorophyll-rich, high-protein, nutrient-dense food in the world. When Catharine learned that algae's vast healing properties were documented in tens of thousands of scientific studies but that none of these studies or algae’s benefits were known outside of Asia, she knew she needed to do something. And so ENERGYbits® was born, 

Catharine has spent the last twelve years researching algae, writing papers, giving presentations, lecturing at conferences, and speaking on 250+ podcasts to explain the benefits of algae. To do this, she has read thousands of scientific papers that validated, and confirmed algae's extensive nutritional, health, mitochondria, longevity, beauty, brain, performance and sustainability benefits. Remarkably none of this science is known by consumers outside Asia. It is Catharine's vision and passion to change this and while she is not a Ph.D., her scientific fluency allows her to explain algae with such simplicity and clarity, it quickly becomes obvious why algae is something we all urgently need. Catharine's passion for algae is contagious, inspiring and thought-provoking. 

Her efforts have led to algae being better understood by consumers, retailers, educators, doctors, and wellness practitioners. Even the United Nations and NASA endorse algae as the most nutrient-dense food in the world and the answer to world hunger. Catharine's extensive knowledge and playful personality is both entertaining and educating and her speaking style leaves audiences informed, uplifted, and hopeful. She looks forward to doing the same for you.

Elle Russ chats with Laban Ditchburn - The World’s Best Courage Coach! A child badly affected by divorce and its dysfunction, Laban sought validation and escapism in all the wrong places. But through self-discovery, not being afraid to ask for help and a ton of hard work, he conquered the full gamut of addictions—alcohol, gambling, sex, drugs, and negative self-talk.  Today, he defines the word transformation, having reshaped his body by swapping sixty pounds of body fat with thirty pounds of powerful muscle and bone. He also discovered a simple cure for his “incurable” auto-immune disease in the process. By learning why and then reverse-engineering the root cause of why he needed to escape, giving up his addictions has been almost effortless. Celebrating more than 6 years of sobriety from alcohol (longer for all the other stuff) all without any 12-step program or rehab facilities. 

Until May 11th, 2018,  5KM was the furthest distance that Laban had ever run. But after a huge emotional breakthrough, Laban rapidly progressed to completing his first 100KM ultra-marathon trail run just 16 weeks later. 

Laban has since completed 3 x 100KM efforts, 7 x 50KM, and countless marathons. A self-confessed bio-hacker, Laban also ran a 50km in 2021 on zero sugar. Now physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally in charge of his own destiny, Laban’s journey continues to inspire those ready to change their life.  An exemplar and a revolutionary, he revels in unabashedly sharing what he’s learned: how to conquer the demons you don’t know you have, and how to be unstoppable in getting to where you want to be.  Laban’s internationally acclaimed book “Bet on You” is a “can’t put down” must-read with its raw, real, hilarious, and inspiring message of hope. Known affectionately as The World’s Best Courage Coach, Laban shares his life with his smoking hot wife, the bravest person he knows, and the future mother of their children, Anna!

This is Alison's 3rd visit to the show! Elle Russ chats with Alison Armstrong about the new audiobook release of her previously published The Queen's Code. Alison is an author, educator, and speaker. Alison Armstrong’s exploration of human behavior began in 1991, with her decision to study men: “To find out how I was bringing out the worst in them. And hopefully, how to bring out the best.“ Her success in understanding men naturally lead to studying women’s behavior and making vital connections between the two.

As her work evolved over the decades Alison now illuminates human characteristics that precede and express themselves regardless of gender, age and upbringing. She distinguishes normal human instinct that compels both men and women to behave in ways that contradict and undermine our own purposes, goals, values, needs, and relationships. Besides fulfilling the need to understand “Why“ people behave as they do, Alison offers practical, partnership-based alternatives.

Through her seminars, books, online programs, and media contributions, she has been giving millions of people access to more fulfilling lives, loving relationships, stronger families, and productive organizations. Alison is a sought-after speaker and thought leader amongst people with the desire to live empowered lives. Her philosophy and approach are referenced and taught by other authors, speakers, business consultants, and therapists.
