Cognitive decline is one of the greatest fears of aging, yet most people don’t realize how much control they still have. In this episode of Resonate, Barry sits down with neuroscientist and brain health educator Ryan Glatt to explore how movement, strength training, and mental challenge work together to support long-term brain health. Ryan shares his unconventional path from personal training to applied neuroscience, explains why not all exercise is created equal, and introduces the concept of dual task training, combining physical movement with cognitive demand. They unpack the differences between normal aging, mild cognitive impairment, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease, while also highlighting lifestyle factors that can meaningfully reduce risk. From why walking alone may not be enough, to how strength training supports the brain’s frontal lobes, this conversation offers practical, empowering insights for anyone who wants to stay mentally sharp at any age.

In this thoughtful episode of Resonate, Barry sits down with internationally recognized astrologer, author, and teacher Leslie McGuirk to explore astrology as a practical tool for self-understanding rather than prediction. Leslie shares how a single astrology reading at age nineteen changed the direction of her life, helping her reclaim her creativity after being told she had none. That moment sparked a path that led her from children’s books and design to decades of astrological study and teaching. Together, they unpack astrology as an esoteric science that reveals patterns, emotional tendencies, and personal timing, much like a musical score unique to each individual. Leslie explains how understanding your chart can bring clarity to relationships, creativity, and even health, while offering comfort during difficult seasons. This conversation invites curiosity, self-trust, and a deeper appreciation for the design you were born with.

We avoid talking about death until it’s right in front of us. In this episode of Resonate, Barry sits down with attorney and yoga instructor Kathryn Tucker, a leading advocate for end-of-life choice, to unpack what “medical aid in dying” really means, why states are driving the conversation, and how the modern wave of psilocybin research is changing what’s possible for anxiety and existential distress at the end of life. Kathryn also connects the dots between psychedelics and long-held contemplative practices, reminding us that expanded states of consciousness aren’t limited to a medicine cabinet.

Miracles don’t always arrive with thunder and lightning. Sometimes they look like a leaf revealing its hidden colors, a story that outflanks your resistance, or a single choice to see, hear, say, and do something beautiful before the day is done. In this episode, Barry sits down with Rabbi Michael Zedek, author of Taking Miracles Seriously, to explore a grounded, story-driven spirituality that doesn’t demand perfection, certainty, or even one “right” interpretation. Together, they unpack why humor opens us up, how sacred texts can be truer as metaphor than as history, and what it means to live like life is precious, even when it’s hard. You’ll also hear the origin story behind Michael’s newest book for young readers, why he believes stories stick when essays fade, and how everyday wonder can turn this life into more than something to simply endure.

In this illuminating episode of Resonate, Barry sits down with Jungian coach, dream analyst, former musician, and memoirist Orenda Fink to explore the vast landscape of the unconscious mind. Orenda shares how dreams reveal the 95% of our inner world we can’t access while awake, why the “shadow” holds the keys to our personal growth, and how early childhood experiences continue to shape our adult behaviors and beliefs.

Welcome to Resonate, conversations and life lessons from Rancho La Puerta. In this heart-opening episode, Barry sits down with life coach, retreat leader, and author Elizabeth Trinkaus to explore one of the most universal beliefs we carry: the quiet, persistent feeling of “not enough.” With humor, honesty, and decades of experience guiding others toward self-worth, Elizabeth shares how this belief forms, how it quietly shapes our lives, and—most importantly—how we can finally let it go. Together they unpack the stories we inherit, the inner critic that narrates them, and the liberating power of rewriting that narrative with compassion. Elizabeth reveals simple daily rituals to reconnect with your authentic self, the importance of creating space to hear your inner wisdom, and why embracing life’s beautiful messiness is essential to true self-acceptance. From personal breakthroughs to practical shifts in mindset, this conversation is an invitation to soften, breathe, and remember that you are already enough.

From the biology of attraction to the emotional architecture of long-term partnership, Pepper brings five decades of research—and 19 seasons of *Married at First Sight*—to reveal what truly makes relationships last. We talk about the myths that still surround aging and sexuality, how fantasy shapes our understanding of intimacy, and why chemistry, communication, and curiosity matter more than perfection.

What if the difference between choking and clutch is emotional, not technical? In this episode of Resonate, performance psychotherapist Dr. Rick Aberman joins Barry to unpack how identity, emotions, and attention shape our best (and worst) moments under pressure. We explore why vulnerability is the gateway to peak performance, how feelings precede thoughts, and the simple physiological resets that can flip momentum in your favor—on the field, in the boardroom, or during a rocky morning at home.

What if you could see your life’s possibilities laid out before you? In this thought-provoking episode of Resonate, Barry sits down with intuitive and medium Adela Lavine, author of Seer, to explore the unseen world of intuition, spirit communication, and the choices that shape our lives. Adela shares her personal journey—from resisting her gift to embracing it fully—and explains how she helps people connect with loved ones who have passed and tune into their own inner knowing. Along the way, she offers practical tools for trusting your instincts, addresses misconceptions about mediums, and emphasizes the ethics of her work. Barry receives a brief reading, leading to reflections on skepticism, metaphysics, and the freedom that comes with embracing uncertainty.

Step into the art and science of listening with Elizabeth Rosner, acclaimed author of Third Ear: Reflections on the Art and Science of Listening. We explore the invisible threads that connect us through trauma, resilience, and the longing for true understanding. Elizabeth draws from her own family history as the daughter of Holocaust survivors and decades of research into healing, language, and connection. Together, we consider how listening extends beyond sound, embracing intuition, body, and even silence itself. Discover stories about healing from trauma, the power of naming what we carry, and how horses and disconnected telephones can teach us new ways to connect. Whether through language, art, or quiet presence, we uncover how each of us can listen more deeply to ourselves, each other, and the world around us.

In this moving episode of Resonate, Barry sits down with Julie Green—nurse, grief facilitator, and author of *A Thousand Little Memories*—to talk about love, loss, and healing. Julie opens up about losing her son Jack to suicide, her journey through shock and despair, and the steps she took to reclaim joy and purpose. She shares the small rituals and daily practices that anchored her, from mindful walks on the beach to honoring Jack’s memory with family traditions and dragonfly sightings. Along the way, Julie offers honest advice for supporting others through grief and breaks down the power of resources like the Grief Recovery Method and EMDR therapy. This is a conversation about the enduring presence of love, the importance of being present, and the hope that can emerge even in the most difficult chapters of life.

What does it take to let go of who you’ve always been and step into something new? In this powerful live episode, we sit down with Mexican actress Paola Núñez as she returns to her hometown of Tecate and shares the story of how she’s redefining success beyond the spotlight. Paola takes us behind the scenes of her rise to fame, the pressures of staying “young” in Hollywood, and the emptiness that set in when her passion for acting began to fade. We explore how Paola is channeling her drive into animal welfare, founding a volunteer group to rescue, walk, and rehome stray dogs in a region where animal advocacy is still new. She speaks candidly about the challenge of breaking out of the “roles” we play for others, facing family expectations, and learning to find worth beyond what we do for a living. Whether you’re chasing a dream, facing a turning point, or simply searching for new meaning, Paola’s journey will inspire you to ask: Who would I be if I let myself follow what lights me up?
