In this deeply honest and transformative episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, David Chametzky welcomes Tiffany Sims for a raw, real, and soul-level conversation about identity, self-worth, intuition, and the healing power of learning to trust yourself again.
What begins as a discussion about food, health, and exercise evolves into a powerful exploration of how emotional survival patterns, people-pleasing, unspoken boundaries, and self-abandonment shape our lives—and how healing those patterns unlocks freedom far beyond the scale.
This episode is not about diets.
It’s about coming home to yourself.
Key Themes & Takeaways
🧭 Identity Beyond Titles
Tiffany challenges the idea that we are our roles—job titles, relationship labels, or achievements.
“Who are you when you take the title away?”
Listeners are invited to reflect on:
-
Who they are on their best days
-
What lights them up when no one is watching
-
What values guide their decisions
When identity becomes clear, choices become simple.
💔 Self-Worth, Trauma & Invisible Survival Patterns
Tiffany shares her experience as a survivor of domestic abuse—not defined by visible violence alone, but by emotional, mental, and verbal erosion that went unnoticed for years.
This moment reframes strength:
-
Being “strong” doesn’t mean enduring mistreatment
-
Survival skills can become cages if never examined
-
Ignoring intuition often begins as a way to keep peace
“I didn’t know how to hold a boundary—I only knew how to survive.”
🧠 Intuition as a Healing Compass
A recurring thread throughout the episode is learning to trust the body—especially the quiet signals we’re taught to ignore.
Tiffany connects intuition to:
-
Leaving unsafe relationships
-
Ending chronic dieting
-
Releasing foods that no longer serve her
-
Redefining movement, health, and success
“My body always knew. I just wasn’t listening.”
🍽️ Intuitive Eating vs. Diet Culture
This episode dismantles the idea that health comes from restriction or punishment.
Key shifts Tiffany describes:
-
Hunger ≠ failure
-
Food ≠ morality
-
Health ≠ shrinking
True wellness comes from listening—not controlling.
⏸️ The Power of the Pause
Both David and Tiffany emphasize the pause as a life-changing practice:
-
Pausing before reacting
-
Pausing before self-judgment
-
Pausing to ask: “What’s the next right choice for me?”
This pause is how patterns break.
❤️ Love vs. Hate: A Crucial Reframe
One of the most profound moments of the episode reframes motivation:
“You can’t create something beautiful out of hate.”
Hate is not the opposite of love—it’s the absence of love.
Lasting change happens only when choices are made from self-love, not self-punishment.
The Magic Garden Seed 🌱
You don’t need to hate where you are to change.
You need to love yourself enough to take the next step.
Every transformation—physical, emotional, or spiritual—happens one step at a time.

In this powerful and energizing episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, Uncle Dave sits down with Bogdan Roșu—a modern “warrior shaman” whose work blends mindset, intuition, martial arts philosophy, and business strategy.
Bogdan shares how true success is never built on strategy alone. Without confidence, self-worth, and identity alignment, even the best business plans collapse. This episode dives deep into identity shifting, intuition, leadership, and how to collapse time between where you are now and where you want to be.
This conversation bridges the spiritual and the practical—showing how inner strength fuels outer results.
Key Themes & Takeaways
⚔️ The Warrior–Shaman Philosophy
-
Bogdan’s background in martial arts taught him the balance of yin and yang—inner work and outer action.
-
Business strategy without mindset creates paralysis.
-
Mindset without strategy creates confusion.
-
Sustainable success requires both.
🧠 Identity Shifting & Confidence
-
Growth happens when you become the person who can handle the next level, not when you wait to “earn” it.
-
Confidence is the horse—strategy is the cart.
-
If you don’t believe in yourself, no amount of resources will save the idea.
💰 Even High Performers Struggle with Fear
-
Bogdan shares working with a client generating over $100M annually who was still afraid to grow.
-
Fear doesn’t disappear with money—it changes form.
-
The work at every level is the same: expand identity.
🔥 Energy Work for the “Badass Business Owner”
Bogdan leads a guided exercise helping listeners:
-
Step into their future self
-
Feel confidence in the body
-
Access calm, certainty, and leadership energy now
-
Act from identity instead of fear
This isn’t visualization for “someday”—it’s embodiment for today.
Leadership Redefined
True leadership is not:
-
Being the loudest voice
-
Knowing everything
-
Forcing people to follow
True leadership is:
-
Listening deeply
-
Creating psychological safety
-
Helping others move closer to their vision
-
Knowing when to act—and when to step back
“Every coach needs a coach. Every shaman needs a shaman.”
Intuition as a Strategic Tool
-
Bogdan emphasizes intuition as a muscle—not a mystery.
-
Many people trust intuition in one area of life but ignore it elsewhere.
-
When you learn to listen consistently, intuition guides you to unexpected beauty, alignment, and opportunity.
Bogdan shares a story of intuitively exploring the mountains near his home—leading to a place of breathtaking beauty he would’ve missed by over-planning.
Memorable Quotes
-
“You’re stronger than you know.”
-
“Confidence is the horse—strategy is the cart.”
-
“You don’t need to work harder; you need to become someone different.”
-
“Leadership starts with listening.”
-
“Trust your intuition—it already knows the way.”
The Magic Garden Seed 🌱
You are stronger than you think—and more capable than you’ve been told.
Bring your future self into the present.
Trust your intuition.
Act from identity, not fear.

Vanessa brings nearly four decades of lived experience as a nonprofit founder—sharing the unseen struggles, sacrifices, and triumphs that come with answering a calling bigger than yourself. From teen motherhood to building a long-standing behavioral health organization, Vanessa’s story is one of resilience, faith, and unwavering service.
This episode shines a light on the unsung heroes of our communities: nonprofit founders.
Key Themes & Takeaways
🌱 From Purpose to Nonprofit
-
Vanessa founded her first nonprofit at just 21 years old after becoming a teen mother and seeing firsthand the lack of resources available.
-
What began as a program for teen mothers evolved into a long-standing behavioral health organization offering drug and alcohol counseling and youth support.
-
Her work was never about recognition—it was about answering a promise and fulfilling a purpose.
💔 The Hidden Cost of Nonprofit Leadership
-
Nonprofit founders often operate behind the scenes, carrying emotional, financial, and spiritual burdens with little recognition.
-
Sleepless nights, personal financial sacrifice, and constant stress are common—but rarely discussed.
-
Vanessa emphasizes the importance of creating safe spaces for founders to be supported, not just supporters.
🤝 Collaboration Over Competition
-
Vanessa speaks candidly about the territorial nature of the nonprofit world—and why it must change.

No single organization can serve everyone; collaboration multiplies impact.
-
Partnering with other nonprofits allows for shared resources, stronger grants, and better outcomes for communities.
💰 Fearless Fundraising & Grant Writing
-
Vanessa demystifies grant writing and fundraising, sharing her early journey from not knowing what a grant was to ranking #2 in the state on a major application.
-
Fundraising isn’t about begging—it’s about alignment, storytelling, and meeting real community needs.
-
Diversifying funding and leveraging partnerships is essential for sustainability.
🧠 Trauma, Self-Care, and Founder Burnout
-
Many nonprofits are born from personal trauma—but founders often accumulate secondary trauma along the way.
-
Vanessa stresses that founders must learn to care for themselves as much as they care for their mission.
-
Healing, rest, and joy are not luxuries—they are necessities.
✨ Faith, Love, and Perspective
-
Vanessa shares a deeply personal insight: seeing herself as a vessel for love and purpose each day.
-
When founders lead with love—rather than fear or ego—their work becomes sustainable and transformational.
-
Loving yourself first allows you to truly serve others.

In this inspiring and energizing episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, Uncle Dave sits down with Mike Brennan to explore creativity as a way of living—not just something reserved for artists.
Mike breaks down what it really means to make fun a habit, how creativity shows up far beyond drawing or painting, and why curiosity, play, and presence are essential tools for mental wellness, problem-solving, and personal growth.
This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck in routine, burned out by “efficiency,” or disconnected from joy—and wants practical ways to reconnect with themselves through creativity.
Key Themes & Takeaways
🎨 Creativity Is Not a Talent—It’s a Way of Being
-
Mike reframes creativity as problem-solving, curiosity, and expression, not just artistic skill.
-
Everyone is a creator—whether through business, organization, storytelling, leadership, or innovation.
-
Creativity doesn’t have to look “artistic” to be valid.
🧠 Presence Unlocks Possibility
-
Mike shares how live event sketching grew out of simply being present in the moment.
-
Creativity thrives when we slow down and pay attention to what’s happening right now.
-
Being present allows us to capture meaning in the midst of noise and busyness.
🔁 From Burnout to Breakthrough
-
Mike opens up about stepping away from creative work for nearly a decade—and how suppressing creativity contributed to depression.
-
Reconnecting with creativity wasn’t about career—it was about identity and well-being.
-
Creativity became a lifeline, not a luxury.
⏱ The Power of Small, Consistent Action
-
A daily 10–15 minute creative habit led to massive long-term change.
-
Consistency matters more than intensity.
-
Showing up imperfectly every day builds momentum and self-trust.
🕹 Play Is Not a Reward—It’s a Process
-
Fun doesn’t belong only at the end of work—it belongs inside the work.
-
Introducing play lowers pressure and opens access to deeper insight and innovation.
-
Curiosity is often the doorway to breakthroughs we weren’t actively searching for.
🔄 Change Agents for Creativity
Mike shares practical ways to reset when creativity or motivation stalls:
-
Try a new tool (even a “bad” one)
-
Change your route home
-
Break routine intentionally
-
Allow yourself to experiment without needing results
Failure, in this context, is information—not defeat.

In this raw, courageous, and deeply human episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, Uncle Dave sits down with Doug Ferrer to talk openly about men’s mental health, grief, addiction, loss, and the quiet battles men often fight alone.
Doug shares his powerful life journey—from losing his father at age 12, to years of substance abuse and emotional avoidance, to standing on the edge of a roof in his darkest moment, and ultimately choosing to step back and rebuild his life with intention.
This is not a surface-level conversation. It’s about what happens after the smile, after the success, and after the pain—when a man decides to stay, heal, and become the anchor he never had.
Key Themes & Takeaways
🧠 Men’s Mental Wellness & the Cost of Silence
-
Doug speaks honestly about how men are conditioned to suppress pain instead of processing it.
-
Losing his father at 12 created an emotional wound that went unaddressed for decades.
-
Without positive male role models, Doug turned to drugs and alcohol as a way to escape pain.
💔 Trauma Doesn’t Disappear—It Waits
-
Avoidance didn’t erase the pain; it redirected it into relationships, addiction, and self-sabotage.
-
Doug explains how unresolved grief quietly shaped his choices well into adulthood.
🏠 The Edge Moment
-
Doug shares the moment he stood on the edge of a roof, overwhelmed by failed relationships and emotional exhaustion.
-
What stopped him wasn’t fear—it was remembering the pain of losing his father and refusing to pass that pain onto his children.
-
Suicide doesn’t end pain—it multiplies it.
🔥 Cutting Off the Old Self
-
Doug describes how part of him did die that day—but not through suicide.
-
He consciously let go of the version of himself that was driven by avoidance, addiction, and self-destruction.
🧰 Rebuilding Through Awareness & Routine
Doug didn’t “snap out of it”—he rebuilt intentionally:
-
Eliminating toxic inputs (substances, negative habits, reactive behaviors)
-
Developing daily routines that support mental clarity
-
Learning to respond instead of react
-
Creating space to check in with himself regularly
🛑 You Don’t Need to React to Everything
-
Doug emphasizes a powerful principle: not everything deserves a response.
-
Triggers lose power when you recognize them instead of engaging them.
-
Peace is often found in walking away—not winning.
🤝 Brotherhood & Meeting People Where They Are
-
Doug stresses the importance of meeting people where they are, not where we think they “should” be.
-
Real support doesn’t lecture—it listens.
-
Men need spaces where honesty is safe and vulnerability isn’t weakness.
Memorable Quotes
-
“Suicide doesn’t stop the pain—it multiplies it and passes it on.”
-
“I lost my first superhero at 12 years old.”
-
“A bad moment is not a bad life.”
-
“Happiness is an inside job.”
-
“Not everything—or everyone—deserves a response.”
Doug’s Two Core Gems 💎
1️⃣ Smile—On Purpose
Your body and brain respond to simple physical cues. A smile can shift your internal state and create momentum toward healing.
2️⃣ Silence Is Power
You don’t have to react to every comment, criticism, or trigger. Walking away is not weakness—it’s wisdom.
Who This Episode Is For
-
Men carrying grief they’ve never spoken about
-
Anyone struggling with addiction, anger, or emotional numbness
-
Fathers who want to break generational cycles
-
People who feel like they’re “fine” on the outside but falling apart inside
-
Anyone who needs to hear: you’re not broken—you’re human

In this deeply honest and reflective episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, Uncle Dave sits down with bestselling author and storytelling guide Carrie KC West to explore how our lives are shaped by the stories we tell ourselves—and how rewriting those stories can lead to healing, freedom, and fulfillment.
Carrie shares her journey through trauma, loss, forgiveness, and self-discovery, explaining how narrative therapy, storytelling, and conscious reflection helped her transform pain into purpose. This episode dives into accountability, emotional truth, family dynamics, forgiveness, and how becoming the author of your own life can unlock lasting peace.
Key Themes & Takeaways
✍️ Life as a Story
-
Carrie introduces the idea that our lives function like stories, with characters, villains, heroes, plot twists, and themes.
-
When we recognize ourselves as the protagonist, we regain agency over our future.
-
Seeing antagonists as characters—not life sentences—loosens emotional grip and resentment.
🧠 Narrative Therapy & Healing
-
Carrie blends psychology and storytelling to help people reorganize their experiences in healthier ways.
-
Shifting perspective can reduce emotional attachment to trauma without denying the pain.
-
Rewriting your story does not erase the past—it reframes it.
💔 Forgiveness as Freedom
-
Forgiveness is not approval; it’s release.
-
Holding onto blame keeps us trapped in a prison of our own making.
-
True forgiveness allows us to stop recreating old wounds in new relationships.
🔄 Accountability Without Shame
-
Carrie emphasizes the importance of owning your mistakes without self-loathing.
-
Healing deepens when we acknowledge how our own actions affected others.
-
Accountability builds intimacy, trust, and emotional freedom.
🧩 Identity, Belonging & Inherited Beliefs
-
Many of our beliefs are inherited—not chosen.
-
“Shoulds” are often signs of someone else’s story running our life.
-
Questioning old scripts is the first step toward authenticity.
🎬 Becoming the Lead Character
-
Carrie asks a powerful question: Who would play you in the movie of your life?
-
Many people discover they’ve been playing background roles in their own story.
-
Growth begins when you choose to step into the lead.
Memorable Quotes
-
“Forgiveness sets you free—it doesn’t excuse what happened.”
-
“Should is always someone else’s story.”
-
“I didn’t want my ending to be ‘life sucks and then you die.’”
-
“We aren’t human doings—we’re human beings.”
-
“You can’t rewrite the story if you won’t read it honestly.”
Carrie’s Core Message
Fear of the unknown keeps people stuck—but growth lives on the other side of discomfort.
You are allowed to question your story.
You are allowed to change the ending.
You are allowed to become someone new.
The Magic Garden Seed 🌱
Fear is not a stop sign—it’s an invitation.
You will survive change.
You will grow through it.
And the story you’re afraid to rewrite is often the one that sets you free.
