How to Die Happy with Martin O'Toole

How to Die Happy with Martin O'Toole

In this episode, I sit down with Martin O’Toole - a friend of mine in Bali, who is a former London ad-man turned holistic mental health coach - for a deeply honest conversation about burnout, addiction, depression, and the long road to healing.

Once a self-proclaimed “high-functioning shambles,” Martin left the hustle of city life behind and began a radical journey inward. From mindfulness and Eastern philosophy to intentional psychedelic work, Martin has cultivated what he calls The Anatomy of Happy: a grounded, compassionate path to mental wellness.

We explore how writing, humor, and storytelling can be tools for healing, and how he now helps others navigate their own suffering with honesty and heart. Whether you're sober-curious, healing trauma, or just curious about what it means to live and die well, this conversation is filled with wisdom, laughter, and soulful insight.

🎙 Tune in for a raw, real, and inspiring journey into the human condition.

From YTT to Studio Owner in LA: Lara Estrada

I was so excited to have Lara Estrada on the podcast! Lara and I met in Los Angeles in 2023 from an unexpected layover (read: I missed a flight coming back from the Mexico retreat and ended up having 24 hours to kill, and I ended up taking Lara's yoga class at her studio, LA Bliss!) In this podcast episode, Lara opened up about: the life-changing impact of yoga teacher training, her vision for creating a nurturing community at Yoga Bliss LA, and how yoga and mindfulness shaped her life, and can inspire yours!

Introduction to Vedic Meditation - Part 2 with Rory Kinsella

Introduction to Vedic Meditation - Part 2 with Rory Kinsella

Lots of you have been asking questions about Vedic meditation, after hearing how profoundly impactful it's been for me, so I took the time to sit down with my friend Rory Kinsella to learn more about the practice. 

Vedic Meditation uses a mantra and you sit comfortably in a chair rather than in a classic meditation pose like lotus, so many people find it more accessible than other styles. 

In this episode, Rory will talk about learning to meditate ten years ago, how it changed his relationship with alcohol and what he’s learned from teaching thousands of people to meditate over the last eight years. Alex will also share the impactful experience she has had with Vedic Meditation learning from both Rory on his retreat and Jenn Agostini online. Alex has now chosen to integrate Vedic Meditation into her Yoga Teacher Trainings going forward because of how impactful it is, and she is excited to share it with you!
