Suburban Warrior (Crissy Pyfer)

Do you have a fixed mindset or a growth mindset? We have all dealt with imposter syndrome and perfectionism at some points in our lives. In this episode, we are discussing the importance of mindset and that we are the ones that control the outcome of our lives.

Danielle McCombs and Kristy Olinger are college friends that always gravitated to each other on their girls’ trips to discuss podcasts and books they were interested in. They soon realized that they were both curious people with growth mindsets and always open to learning new things. This led them to start their podcast, The Opposite of Small Talk, where they share ideas for self-development centered around the themes of connection, self-reflection, and social justice.

Visit www.theoppositeofsmalltalk.com for their 30-Day Growth Mindset Challenge, and follow them on Instagram and Facebook. You can also find Danielle on Instagram @Danimc23.

Welcome back, Warriors! We are always being told we should follow our passions. But between work, family, and the day-to-day, it’s sometimes hard to find the time to do what’s really in our hearts.

Do you sometimes find yourself being your own worst critic? When you look in the mirror, do you only see the negative? My next Suburban Warrior, Amy Wilhelm, felt the same way.

Amy's nature is to uplift others, but first, she had to dig deeper to inspire and support herself consistently. In the aftermath of a contentious divorce, Skullcoaster – a sustainable design-driven streetwear brand – emerged like a flower from a crack in concrete. Amy discovered she could create something that merged her love of art and fashion while also sharing the authentic life tips that helped her create an empowered life. In the iconic imagery of the brand, the skull represents your mind and the rollercoaster is the direction you take with your thoughts.

YOU create the life you want from the inside out. That is #skullcoasting.

As a third-generation restauranteur, Sydney Grims grew up in the industry, working in her family’s restaurants since she was a child. From the age of 12 throughout high school, she worked in the family business, starting in the coat check room, then as a barista and server at her father’s restaurants Moshulu, Dujour, and The Inlet. While still in high school, Sydney expanded her hospitality experience by working as a front desk agent and laundress for Philadelphia’s Four Seasons Hotel.

Her love of hospitality led her to Cornell’s “Hotel School”, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude with a minor in Real Estate Finance. Following graduation, she lived in East Hampton and Manhattan and worked as a general manager for the high-volume restaurant giant Hillstone Restaurant Group.

In 2016, Sydney shifted careers to a Hospitality Director role for a well-known Manhattan finance tycoon, recruiting 3-Michelin star chefs and organizing multi-million dollar fundraisers with A-list celebrities. Soon after, she returned home and joined her family business, Fearless Restaurants, taking the lead on opening Louie Louie in July 2018. Sydney then opened two additional locations, White Dog Café in Glen Mills and Rosalie Wayne in 2020. She currently serves as Director of Business Development, focusing on the company’s real estate development and building out the company’s overall strategy for future growth.

Welcome back, Warriors. As always, we have another amazing warrior story to share with you. My next guest has a very unique story, but one that many of us may resonate with. As women, I feel like we have all been to a doctor at one time or another who has possibly dismissed our symptoms, told us that we were fine, or maybe made us feel a little crazy when we tell them how we're feeling.

Marian Adams went through years of not feeling like her active and vibrant self. She lost a significant amount of weight, her hair started falling out in clumps, and she was just feeling “off”. After being dismissed by multiple doctors and prescribed countless medications and bizarre treatments, Marian finally found someone who could tell her what was happening inside her body.

If you are struggling with something similar, know that you are not alone. Don’t give up. Keep searching and keep talking to people. There is help out there.

In this episode, Kelly shares her story of making the leap from corporate America to a career in coaching. She also gives us three things that we can do when we’re feeling the fear and questioning ourselves to help us move through it.

Hey, Warriors! Spring is in the air and the perfect time to focus on renewal and growth.

This short solo episode is all about mindset, manifesting, and the beauty of everyday miracles. Each one of us has the power to attract what we desire and manifest beyond our wildest dreams. It all starts with our thoughts and the stories we tell ourselves.

When we harbor negative or limiting thoughts, we often end up feeling frustrated, angry, or low in energy. On the other hand, when our thoughts are positive and empowering, we are more likely to feel joy, happiness, and enthusiasm.

Tune in to learn how you can harness the power of your mindset to create the life you truly want. Remember, as you think, so shall you be.

Stay tuned for more inspiring warrior stories in our next episode!

Hey Warriors!

In this episode, Dr. Mary Claire Haver, Board certified OBGYN and creator of The Galveston Diet tells us how she unlocked the secret to combating middle-age weight gain through her own life struggles.  When Dr. Haver was experiencing the weight gain associated with menopause she decided that the solutions available were unacceptable and she had to discover another, more effective way! The Galveston Diet has helped thousands of women who battle weight gain to due to menopause but certainly translates to anyone experiencing battles with their weight.  

Dr. Mary Claire Haver is a wife, mom, physician, and entrepreneur who has devoted her adult life to women’s health. As a Board Certified OBGYN in the Houston area, Dr. Haver has delivered thousands of babies, completed thousands of well-woman exams, counseled patients, taught residents and did everything an academic professor and OBGYN could do. As her patient population aged, she was overwhelmed with the number of complaints and concerns her patients had with weight gain while going through menopause. For years, she told her patients to eat less and exercise more. It wasn’t until she, too, experienced the changes of menopause that she realized this advice doesn’t work.

Dr. Mary Claire Haver is the founder and creator of The Galveston Diet, the first and only nutrition program in the world created by a Female OBGYN, designed for women in menopause. The Galveston Diet is dedicated to helping women reach their health and wellness goals through an anti-inflammatory approach to nutrition.  In an effort to learn as much as she could about medical nutrition, she became certified in Culinary Medicine in 2019.

She has been married to her husband, Christopher Haver since 1996 and they are raising two teenage girls, the loves of their lives.

Hey there warriors!

You may think this is all woo-woo, but we all have an inner voice that sometimes we choose to block out...and sometimes we listen.  What if we all knew how to better communicate with that inner voice?

Michelle Young is an enlightened woman. Her gifts started presenting themselves in childhood and were always prevalent in her life. Recent events that impacted Michelle involved the death of a family friend. Michelle was aware of extenuating circumstances around this tragic event. As spirit would have it, Michelle found a wonderful mentor to help her understand her gifts and how to nurture and develop them. One mentor lead to another, and step by step, Michelle has been guided both with personal mentorship and spiritual mentorship with her pen.  She is a medium, a mom, a reiki practitioner and she channels messages from heaven.  

Michelle believes that we are all enlightened.  That each and every one of us has gifts and we can learn to tap into them, to listen to our inner voice/intuition.  Going deeper and learning how to tap into that place inside all of us all gives us the ability to develop, nurture, and thrive in all areas (physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually) all the days of our lives.  Giving us the ability to show up as our most authentic selves.

In this episode, I sit down with the amazingly talented Art Director, Alexis Kern, and she shares with us her warrior story and how she feels as if she now has a second chance at life! 

One day Alexis woke up and felt sick, like she had the flu. We have all been there, right?  Except after days of antibiotics, not only was she not getting better, she was getting worse!  A virus was attacking her heart and she had no idea.  Thank goodness for the quick thinking of her doctors, she is alive to tell her story today.  

Did you know that heart disease kills one in 4 women?  Signs and symptoms can range  from chest tightness and shortness of breath, to heartburn, to symptoms like Alexis experienced.  It's crucial that we know all the facts.

Hey Warriors-

I hope that everyone is staying healthy, safe, and sane as we all adhere to social distancing and do our best to support our local healthcare providers and all essential workers at this time.  They are truly our heroes, keeping business moving and leaving their homes so that we can have food, medicine, and all the essentials that we need. We are extremely grateful for you! 

This is a scary and devastating time for many business owners. Many of us live in a small town where the local businesses are the heart and soul of our town.  They are there for us, supporting our community, and brining us together through their food, services or entertainment.  In this weeks special episode of Suburban Warrior Podcast, I interview two small business owners from very different businesses.  Sean Coyle, owner of The Goat's Beard Restaurant in Manayunk and Wayne, PA and Maureen Doron, owner of SKIRT Fashion Boutique in Bryn Mawr & Philadelphia, PA and Stone Harbor, NJ.  Two very different businesses, both forced to reevaluate how they do business during a shut down.   These brave owners share their journey of how they had to instantly and consistently pivot their business model just to keep the lights on.  And not only are they thinking outside the box as to how they can still serve their customers, but they are giving back to the community as well, putting those less fortunate first and extending a hand to neighbors in need.  A true example of what it means to be a small business and support a community.  Take a listen!  My hope is that if you own a business of your own, this may help you to think differently as to how you can support your customer base and if you are a customer or a client, please consider supporting a small business if you can.  Now more than ever, they need us just as much as we've always needed them.

Hey Warriors- 

I hope you are staying healthy and safe during this unprecedented and crazy time.  We are all navigating unchartered waters, with worry and fear driving our thoughts each day. Now, more than ever, we need to focus on our mental wellness and daily practices to stay mentally strong. 

In this episode, mindful mommy Bizette Gailewicz, shares her health journey with us and how focusing on positivity and mindfulness helped her heal.  At 27 years-old she was diagnosed with an auto-immune disorder. She then battled pre-eclampsia during pregnancy, cardiac and kidney failure, and years of major flare-ups of lupus.  Throughout her journey, she refused to accept the diagnosis she was given and was determined not to let it define her.  She reached out to holistic healers and used practices such as mindfulness and meditation to help guide her through her journey.  Today, she is healed and has dedicated her life to empowering children to help control big emotions so they grow into healthier and happier adults. She teaches meditation to children and has written a children’s book on meditation. She believes giving them the tools they need at a young age will help them to deal with the challenges that we all inevitably experience in life. I couldn’t argee more! Take a listen to this inspiring episode to hear how Bizettte healed herself by focusing on what she could control in her life, her mindset!

Warriors, these are unprecedented, scary times for sure.  We are all doing the best we can to stay safe and understand how our world is changing. Many Americans are have lost their jobs and are unsure when they will have an income again, it's scary.  In this episode, I sit down with Money Coach and founder of Greatest Worth, Nicole Rule.  She is a self-proclaimed recovering budget avoider and Target run addict.  She started her journey of helping others find joy in managing their money after she and her husband paid off over $100,000 in debt in just 26 months.  She wants to help others avoid going into debt, as well as create healthy budgets to live the life they want to live.   

She also has an amazing e-course available now, the Emergecy Budget Blueprint.  It is available on her website and is a "pay what feels good" course.  In this time of crisis, Nicole wants everyone to have access to the tools and strategies that she provides in the course, even if you can't pay for it right now.  It's all about paying it forward.

Hey Warriors-

In this episode, I put it all out there!  How I'm feeling, how Mother's Day has triggered me and what emotions I'm feeling during quarantine.  I also offer advice to to help you focus on what activities you are doing during quarantine and are you doing things that will numb your emotions or comfort you during this time.  I don't have all the answers.  In fact, I don't have any really.  I only can offer my personal experience and advice for how I'm getting through this time, as a woman, a wife, and a mom of 4 kids who I pray get through this time safe and healthy.   

Happy Mothers Day to all of you!  You are doing such a wonderful job!

Hey Warriors!  This episode is just too good! Not only because I'm interviewing a childhood friend, but Dr. Nicole Orr is a renowned thought leader in her field of cardiology, a mom, wife, and a healthcare hero serving on the front lines of this global pandemic.  She emotionally shares her daily experiences with us. Open, honest, and real.  She describes the roller coaster it has been and what she believes we are in for the future.  

Nicole Orr, MD, FACC is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Cardiology at Tufts University School of Medicine, and the founder and president of Post-Acute Cardiology Care, LLC. Post-Acute Cardiology Care is her own practice which provides specialized cardiovascular consultation to high-risk patients residing in skilled nursing facilities (SNF). The mission of PACC is to reduce the burden of re-hospitalization for the vulnerable SNF population with cardiovascular disease and to facilitate discharge to the community for patients admitted for short term rehabilitation therapy. Dr. Orr founded PACC in 2014.  She is also a mom of 3, and sometimes a singer trapped in a doctor's body!

A MUST LISTEN episode for each and every one of us!!! Dr. Jenn Simmons is a functional medicine physician who lives in Gladwyne, PA with her husband, Albert, and two boys, Andrew and Will.  Dr. Simmons attended Jefferson Medical College, completed a general surgery residency at Albany Medical Center, and was the inaugural fellow in breast disease in Philadelphia in 2003.  Just three years into her career, she was named TOP DOC by Philadelphia Magazine and maintained that title every year since. Dr. Simmons was one of the leaders in breast surgery and cancer care in Philadelphia for 16 years.  She performed innovative, cutting-edge surgery and successfully treated thousands of women for breast cancer.   She was frequently called on for interviews by both local and national news outlets, as a breast cancer authority.  She speaks both locally and regionally on the topic of breast health, disease prevention, and the treatment of breast cancer. 

In 2017, Dr. Simmons was diagnosed with her first auto-immune disease.  It was then that she learned the importance of diet in promoting health.  Being a traditionally trained physician, she had limited training in the area of nutrition.  She learned of functional medicine during this time and began doing some training in that field.  So intoxicated by the concept of pursuing health rather than treating illness, she immersed herself in the study of functional medicine.  In late 2018, following her second auto-immune diagnosis, she knew that she needed to leave surgery, both to heal herself but to help others to truly heal as well! 

In October 2019, she founded Real Health MD, a comprehensive wellness center that offers functional medicine and access to a host of other interventions that provide a roadmap to those who want to stop treating symptoms and instead know real health.  After only a few months of practice, she was put on the cover of Main Line Today as their TOP DOC in integrative medicine! 

Dr. Simmons frequently speaks on her health journey, and on what she has learned in the course of healing herself.  She continues to serve her breast cancer population by helping them and others to achieve hormonal health. 

When Dr. Simmons is not working, you can find her spending time with her family, at the dog park with her three dogs, perusing her local farmers market, on the tennis court, or in the kitchen with friends cooking up a storm.

Hey Suburban Warriors, welcome to another episode! Back by popular demand, I am speaking with Michelle Young, modern-day mystic, medium psychic, and a wife, mother, daughter, and friend. You can go back to episode 5 in season 1 to listen to my first conversation with Michelle.

She has been practicing as a holistic energy practitioner for over eight years. She is currently in the BodyIntuitive Master Practitioner Program with esteemed doctors who have dedicated their lives to creating new alternatives in healthcare. She is a Reiki Master/Teacher, certified in CFT, and she channels messages daily in the form of poems.

Her practice is not a conventional energy session. She uses all of her gifts, her connection to the mystic, her channeling, her education, and her sensitivity to energy to educate and coach her clients, encouraging them to chillax into the life of their dreams.

You can reach Michelle by going to her website www.LOVEONELOVE.com or find her on Facebook at Michelle Young and on Instagram @michelle.young.lol

Hello Suburban Warriors! In this episode of the Suburban Warrior Podcast, we bring back mystic and medium Michelle Young for part 2 of our conversation. We spoke in part 1 (episode 27) about deepening our relationship with spirit and tapping into our own intuition. If you missed it, I highly suggest going back and taking a listen.

Michelle believes we are all energy sensitive beings, yet we have to pay attention, ask the right questions, and even use the right words to communicate with spirit/the universe to paint our lives. Here in part 2, we dive deeper into learning more about energy healing modalities such as Reiki and Body Intuitive. It’s a fascinating discussion!

Resources and links mentioned in this episode:

• Michelle’s website www.LOVEONELOVE.com
• Connect with Michelle on Facebook or Instagram
• Anatomy of the Spirit, a book by Caroline Myss
• Deepak Chopra

We hope you enjoyed both conversations and remember to subscribe, rate, and review this episode. Warrior up & believe in YOU!
