“The conversation around baby sleep has become so polarized - ‘sleep train or don’t,’ ‘cry-it-out or co-sleep.’ But the truth is, when you understand the science of sleep and developmental psychology, you realize it’s not about sides. It’s about helping babies and parents find the right balance of independence and support so everyone can sleep well.” - Chrissy Lawler

Listen in as Danielle Pashko and Bernadette Fiaschetti discuss springing forward with renewed energy, quantum physics, ayuervedic medicine, the emotional roots of chronic disease, and the future of energy-based healing.

Danielle Pashko is a Functional Nutritionist, Certified Health Coach, author, and the visionary behind Soulhakker™, a cutting-edge wellness platform that merges ancient energetic practices with modern science to catalyze healing from the inside out.

With more than two decades at the forefront of New York City’s elite wellness scene, Pashko has collaborated with leading physicians, developed custom supplement lines, and helped thousands transform their health through detoxification, nutrition, and mind-body integration. Her training spans functional medicine, yoga, massage therapy, somatic healing, and internal martial arts. But her true authority comes from what she’s lived through.

After losing her mother to cancer at 13, Pashko became fiercely committed to health—by the time she was 16, she was living alone in Manhattan, working multiple jobs while pursuing a vision of invincibility through wellness. By her early 30s, she had become a trusted expert in the field, but her own cancer diagnosis, followed by chronic Lyme and post-COVID complications, shattered her illusion of control. Despite doing everything “right,” she got sick. That reckoning became her awakening.

What healed her wasn’t more optimization, it was nervous system regulation, unprocessed grief, and ancient practices like Qigong and Tai Chi. Pashko now teaches what she had to learn the hard way: true healing is not about perfecting your health, it’s about reconnecting with yourself. Through Soulhakker™, Pashko offers an integrative model of healing that combines clinical precision with trauma-informed emotional work and energetics. She’s redefining what resilience looks like for a new generation of men and women—those who are ready to stop pushing through and start healing for real.

Pashko is the author of, “Smile at Your Challenges” and “Weight Loss Mistakes Even Healthy Chicks Make.” Her work has been featured in FOX & Friends, USA Today, CBS, ABC, NY1, Reader’s Digest, PIX11, and The New York Post. She has held positions at prestigious institutions including The Sports Club/LA, Equinox, Exhale Spa, and The Peninsula Spa, and has worked in clinical practice with renowned longevity expert Oz Garcia. Today, Pashko is a sought-after voice on holistic health, the emotional roots of chronic illness, and the future of energy-based healing.

Listen in as Bernadette and Brian meet again, this time to discuss Brian’s book, “Spouse Hunting: Using the Rules of Real Estate to Find the Love of Your Life.”

Holy Crap! This book actually works! Brian was single for a long time. Long enough to get tired of dating beautiful women, taking exotic vacations, and partying with other single, rich powerful, good-looking guys.

One day it occured to him: What if there was a way to apply what I am really good at (real estate) to what—so far—I pretty much sucked at (finding true love)? Turns out, yep. Just about everyrule I advise my clients to follow in order to buy or sell a home applies to finding true love.

Brian Belefant started his career as an advertising copywriter, writing hundreds of commercials for major brands, from Nissan to Pepsi. His short stories appear in American Writers Review, Magpie Messenger, Story Unlikely, Libretto, and Half and One. He has written two novels and a how-to book, Spouse Hunting: Using the Rules of Real Estate to Find the Love of Your Life (spoiler alert: it works!). He is also an award-winning fine art photographer, a father, and the best friend of a goofball dog who loves everybody except Santa Claus.

Monica Nassif didn’t just build a brand—she bottled a legacy. I Bottled My Mother is the gritty, hilarious, heartfelt origin story behind Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day, the cult-favorite cleaning line inspired by Monica’s real-life mom, Thelma Meyer: a whip-smart, no-nonsense Midwesterner who raised nine children with little more than elbow grease, common sense, and a garden full of vegetables.

Part startup manual, part memoir, this is the candid story of how one woman turned domestic skills into corporate strategy, and a small soap company into a household name. From a chaotic Iowa childhood to a career in brand building and product development, Monica brings us inside the messy business of entrepreneurship—one that began on her kitchen floor and grew into a national retail presence with shelves in Walmart, Target, Whole Foods, and beyond. Told in short, sharp chapters with warmth and wit, this is a story about startups, motherhood, and the power of building something honest, authentic and good. For anyone who’s ever asked: “How do I make my way in the world using what I already have?”—this book is your bottle of encouragement. Meet Mrs. Meyers: the 93-year-old woman who gave birth to nine children in ten years.

Monica Nassif is a founder, entrepreneur, brand builder, and motivational speaker known for pioneering success in the consumer household cleaning product market through her ventures including Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day. Fearless with a can-do, hands-on approach to running a business, Nassif launched four startups. Two succeeded and two flopped. Her most successful venture, the Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day brand, completely revolutionized the $30 billion U.S. consumer market of household cleaning products. She created aromatherapeutic and earth-friendly products with a consistent fragrance and performance across all types of household cleaners—counter-top spray, dish soap, hand soap, laundry detergent and more.

Nassif built two brands in this new premium category: Caldrea and Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day. She didn’t just build the Mrs. Meyer’s brand from scratch—Nassif bottled a legacy—her mother. The cult-like favorite cleaning line was inspired by Nassif’s real-life mom, Thelma Meyer: a whip-smart, no-nonsense Midwesterner who raised nine children with little more than elbow grease, commonsense and a garden full of vegetables. Nassif believes in the power of building authentic and authoritative brands to stand the test of time.

She sold her company to SC Johnson in 2008, and the Mrs. Meyer’s brand continues to thrive in the marketplace. To this day, Nassif inspires entrepreneurs and founders with her success story of hard work, perseverance and marketing savvy. She launched her career with Target Corporation in marketing communications as a speechwriter, editor and publicist. She continued her career by launching a marketing communications agency in Minneapolis called Kilter Incorporated. The agency served consumer product brands and retail companies, such as Target. During that time, she honed her talent for building beloved brands.

Claudette Fette, Ph. D., is an occupational therapist focused on supporting youth, families, and people living with mental illness. She teaches about mental health at Texas Woman’s University School of Occupational Therapy and continues to be active supporting mental health initiatives at local, state and national levels. She has written about mental health for professional journals and contributed to books on the subject. She currently serves on advisories for the National Family Support Technical Assistance Center and the Advancing School Mental Health conference.

No Saints Here presents Claudette Fette and her son Aaron’s experiences as a cautionary tale while offering better alternatives based on Claudette’s years as a scholar and therapist. They share their hard lessons to encourage us to reject ignorance and accelerate the development of a smarter, healthier culture for generations to follow.

Aaron Fette lived with mental illness all his life. At age 15, he envisioned himself as a modern-day Jack Kerouac, living an adventure on the road that he would chronicle in his writing. Instead, after numerous ineffective interventions, he found himself fleeing from paranoid delusions that drove him from city to city. As a victim of abuse, a drug addict and alcoholic, and as a survivor of the US justice system, Aaron’s story offers a unique perspective on some of the thorniest issues in our society today. He died of an opioid overdose in a homeless encampment under Interstate 35 in Fort Worth, Texas, on April 2, 2017. 

His mother, Claudette, now an occupational therapist and college professor, weaves her son’s story into an examination of the critical crossroads in education, mental health and the judicial system — and offers families in crisis a guide for navigating the often-arcane services.

Bernadette Fiaschetti and Hollywood therapist Dr. Nicki J. Monti (seen on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Millionaire Matchmaker and more) take a deep dive into love and wearing your heart on your sleeve...which leads to conversation about vulnerability. Listen to hear Dr. Nicki explain how to express vulnerability in the world, for yourself and with others.

“We can't change history, but we can change our relationship to history. All healing involves a change of perspective. I’ve done that. Now the story I tell is through my true, confident, authentic voice. Amazingly enough, it turns out it’s never too late to be all in for love.

When we have a willingness to honestly reveal ourselves – to reclaim the vulnerable, precious version of self that got left behind amidst the chaos of surviving, life promises to take us in surprising directions. Living a vulnerable, emotionally honest life is a far more stunning, exhilarating, validating, experience than I ever expected.”

Dr. Nicki J. Monti is a private practice psychotherapist and world-renown teacher, group leader, speaker, television and radio personality, and author of several books, including Stuck In the Story No More: Breaking down the Defenses that Define You and Bind You and Our Love Matters: Find It, Fix it, or Let it Go. She has long been internationally recognized both privately and on reality TV as therapist to the stars. Dr. Nicki’s main interest is identifying and learning how to dance with the patterns that guide our lives. She’s known as a straight-shooting teacher who truly believes that change is a matter of choice. Her newly released book, The Divine Traumedy of Nicki Joy: A True Grime Tale, is described as a gritty, witty, provocative, dark, sex-drugs-rock-the-boat cautionary tale about how it’s never too late to learn how to love and live.
