The Advisor with Stacey Chillemi

Midlife crisis is not the sports car. It is waking up inside the life you built- career, marriage, kids, house- and feeling nothing. Everyone else looks fine, so you say nothing. You did not fail, and you are not broken. That emptiness is a signal that there is more for you, not less.

Writer, speaker, and coach David Phillips lived that season himself and built a practical framework for trading dread for passion. By the end, you will know what to shed, what to reclaim, and where to start.

If simple decisions leave you exhausted, this episode will feel uncomfortably familiar in the best way.

Guest Kamini Wood unpacks why self-trust erodes, why overthinking is often protection rather than a personality flaw, and how to stop treating other people's opinions like the final verdict on your life.

Kamini shares how childhood messages, toxic relationships, and the pressure to please others quietly shrink your voice, then walks through practical tools: body scans, curiosity, small decisions, and learning the difference between guilt, shame, and a boundary you actually need.

If you have been told to just trust yourself without ever being shown how, start here.

Eating disorder recovery keeps failing at the same point, and every relapse feels like proof of weak character. It is not. Willpower was never the mechanism. Genetics, stress physiology, habit, and a nervous system wired by early trauma override logic long before you get to choose.

Paige Gordon lived with bulimia for 22 years, found recovery, and now sits on the board of the National Eating Disorders Association, translating the science for patients and families. After this conversation, self-blame has somewhere else to go: curiosity.

This episode discusses eating disorders. It is for support and education, not medical advice. If you or someone you love is struggling, the National Alliance for Eating Disorders offers a helpline at 1-866-662-1235. You are not alone.

A surgeon who wants to keep you off the operating table could change how you handle pain for good.

Dr. Ethan Kellum treats pro athletes and everyday patients with regenerative medicine, and he shares what he wishes everyone with chronic pain had known before saying yes to surgery or a prescription.

He also covers how PRP and stem cells work, why inflammation and stress keep pain going, and how movement, sleep, and food speed healing without getting sold on hype.

Most fertility patients go through months of stimulation cycles before anyone mentions there might be a simpler way.

In vitro maturation (IVM) skips the hormones, the daily monitoring, and much of the cost — and it works.

Dr. Sherman Silber, one of the world's foremost reproductive microsurgeons, explains who IVM is right for, how it grew out of ovarian tissue preservation, and why breakthroughs from Vietnam are making unstimulated egg retrieval possible for more women than ever before.
