In a world moving faster than ever, how do we stay grounded, real, and truly human?

In this powerful second episode of How to Stay Human, Tori and Kyle dive deep into the heart of what it means to be human, beyond the noise, beyond the performance, and beyond the algorithm. From embodiment practices to breathwork, from nature to nervous system regulation, this conversation is a call back to presence, sovereignty, and soul.

We explore why so many of us feel disconnected from ourselves, our bodies, and our purpose, and how to begin the journey home. You'll learn the power of micro-rituals, how to reframe stillness as sacred, and why imperfection might just be your greatest gift.

This is a soul-first conversation for anyone who feels the pressure to perform but longs to just be. If you've ever wondered, “Why do I feel off?” or “How do I get back to myself?”—this episode is for you.

What if the darkness you’re in isn’t punishment, but preparation?

In this powerful solo episode of The Coachable Podcast, Tori Gordon breaks down one of the most transformative health revelations of her life: discovering her biological age and how it gave her real data to take charge of her physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Tori shares her deeply personal journey—from struggling with fatigue, low libido, ADHD, and hormonal imbalances to discovering functional medicine, reversing her biological age, and becoming a participant in her healing rather than a passive patient.

🔍 What You’ll Learn:

What biological age is and how it differs from chronological age How Function Health gives you access to over 100+ biomarkers most doctors never test Why your environment, stress, sleep, nutrition, and relationships all affect your cellular health Tori’s personal results (hint: her biological age is 18) How to reverse your biological age through epigenetics and lifestyle optimization How combining data + intuition leads to powerful, personalized healing The #1 mental health resource that’s changed Tori’s life: Anywhere Clinic 🧬

Welcome back to another powerful episode of The Coachable Podcast! In this episode, host Tori Gordon sits down with James Silvas, a master coach specializing in sports psychology, personal mastery, men's work, and deep heart leadership. This marks his second appearance on the podcast, and as always, he brings a wealth of insight and wisdom.

James shares his journey from chasing external success to discovering the deeper path of mastery, devotion, and clarity. Through powerful storytelling and reflection, James delves into the practices that have shaped him into the leader he is today, emphasizing the importance of being committed to the process rather than focusing solely on outcomes.

In this episode, you'll hear about:

The Shift from Ego to Truth: James explains how moving from a desire to be the world's best to simply being his best has allowed him to focus on meaningful, authentic goals that resonate deeply.

Clarity and Leadership: The best leaders are not the loudest, but the clearest. James dives into how clarity, patience, and surrender to the process lead to mastery in all aspects of life—be it business, relationships, or personal growth.

Mastery vs. Status: James and Tori discuss the difference between playing the status game versus the mastery game—how one is rooted in external validation and the other in continuous, lifelong growth and refinement.

Surrendering to the Divine: At the heart of mastery is a deep connection to something greater than ourselves. James talks about how devotion to the craft, whether it’s business, relationships, or personal development, creates a space for divine energy to move through.

The Power of Yes and No: Understanding when to say yes to exploration and when to say no to what no longer serves you is a key practice in mastering your life and staying true to your values.

If you've ever felt torn between pursuing external recognition or finding a deeper sense of purpose, this conversation will offer clarity and insight into how you can step into a life of true mastery. Whether you're leading a team, growing a business, or navigating personal transformation, the principles James shares are invaluable for anyone on a journey of self-discovery.

As James shares, “Mastery is a continual chipping away of what doesn’t serve. It’s about surrendering to something bigger than yourself and letting the practice move through you.”

🎧 Tune in to hear how you can begin your own journey of mastery and devotion!

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

The role of clarity in becoming a masterful leader

How mastery is about continual growth and refinement, not perfection
