Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

They dive right into the fast pace of life, discussing how it’s easy to get swept up in career goals while neglecting personal needs—a shared experience that initially connected them. Both Dr. Stephanie and Dr. Nicole emphasize the importance of living a fulfilling, balanced life and making space for both career and personal growth. Dr. Nicole shares her approach to reframing thoughts, encouraging listeners to view challenging experiences not as setbacks but as lessons. Rather than perceiving life’s difficulties as inherently “bad,” she suggests asking, “What is this teaching me?” They explore the difference between motivation and inspiration, noting how these energies can drive personal growth in unique ways. The conversation also touches on the significance of saying “no” and setting boundaries to gain clarity, an essential step toward achieving inner balance. The two doctors candidly discuss how to become a better leader and address personal trauma, diving into the often uncomfortable process of change and healing. As the episode closes, Dr. Nicole and Dr. Stephanie remind listeners that life’s hard moments can coexist with positive experiences. Real balance, they agree, involves being open to both and learning to navigate life’s complexities with resilience.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedIn this episode, Dr. Steph sits down with Autumn Smith, the Co-Founder of Paleovalley, to hear her remarkable health journey and the story behind her thriving business. Autumn begins by sharing her personal experience of growing up with IBS and how she initially accepted daily discomfort as a norm. As she got older, the condition worsened, becoming unbearable. That all changed when she met her now-husband, who helped her discover a healthier way of living, sparking her new journey focused on the Paleo Diet. However, this lifestyle shift came with challenges, particularly finding convenient food options aligned with the Paleo approach. This led Autumn and her husband to venture into the world of food production, despite having no prior experience in the industry. The conversation then shifts to Autumn’s current work on her dissertation, where she dives into the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid ratios in beef, and the ongoing debate between grain-fed and grass-fed cattle. They also explore the often-overlooked nutritional benefits of organ meats, the value of glycine and collagen, and the healing properties of bone broth. Autumn highlights the benefits of whey protein and certain herbs, and the significance of consuming clean, high-quality coffee, explaining what sets Paleovalley's product apart. Finally, the episode concludes with a discussion on cholesterol and its role in health. Learn more about Autumn: Autumn Smith suffered from debilitating digestive issues and crippling anxiety for most of her life. Specialist after specialist told her nothing could be done, and she was ready to give up. But as one final attempt at a life free of health issues, Autumn decided to harness the power of whole foods. She cleaned up her diet and in just 30 days, her IBS was cured. But that was just the beginning. She also had less anxiety, was mentally sharper, and a bubbly side of her that she forgot existed came back. Since then, Autumn has dedicated her life to helping others harness the power of whole foods to live vibrant lives. Check out Paleovalley's website here. Follow Dr. Stephanie on Instagram here .
