045: Chronic Illness & Courage to Start Over I David Zimmerman

A near-fatal health crisis becomes the catalyst for a total life reset for our guest, David Zimmerman, who also happens to be Sandi’s son. Listen to his journey from sensitive, anxious kid to high-performing tech product manager, and finally to founder of a purpose-driven olive oil brand, Zimms Organics.We hear how David’s sudden internal bleeding, Crohn’s diagnosis, and repeated hospitalizations collided with a high-stress consulting career and a broken medical system. He shares the fear he hid, the identity loss that comes with chronic illness, and the moment he decided he could not stay on the same path.David walks us through how research, lab work, and a daily ritual with high polyphenol olive oil helped reduce his inflammation and rebuild trust with his body. We explore the role of meditation, spirituality, and intuition in healing, plus what it really took to walk away from a prestigious job, create an organic olive oil brand, and eventually rebrand it to Zimms Organics by making his own story the heart of it.After leaving his corporate job, David dove back into his creative side, writing music and spoken-word poetry while building Zimms Organics. That freed up mental space and lit something up. He released his first full-length album shortly after, a mix of spoken-word poetry and hip-hop called HORIZONS.Listeners learn about self-advocacy, listening to their gut, and finding meaning in the unknown.In this episode, you will hear:<ul><li>Childhood sensitivity, anxiety, and learning to build emotional resilience</li><li>The role of self-advocacy, second opinions, and questioning “one size fits all” treatment</li><li>Discovering high polyphenol olive oil, lab testing, and data-driven healing experiments</li><li>Meditation, spirituality, and intuition as tools for managing fear and stress</li><li>Leaving a prestigious consulting career to build Zimms Organics around his healing journey</li><li>Redefining success through health, service, creative expression, and freedom of time</li></ul> Resources from this Episode<ul><li>Website:<a href="https://zimmsorganics.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><a href="https://zimmsorganics.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://zimmsorganics.com</a></li><li>Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/zimmsorganics/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/zimmsorganics/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/zimmsorganics/</a></li><li>Music:<a href="https://www.dzimm.co" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><a href="https://www.dzimm.co" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.dzimm.co</a></li><li>Personal Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/dzimm333/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/dzimm333/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/dzimm333/</a></li><li>Discount code for 20% off Zimms Organics: UNZIPPED20</li><li><a href="http://www.fearunzipped.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.fearunzipped.com</a></li></ul> Follow and Review:We’d love for you to follow us if you haven’t yet.

044: What Prison Taught About Fear, Safety & Freedom | Oneika Mays

From the first breath to the echoes of Rikers Island, this conversation with Oneika Mays invites us to reconsider what safety, love, and freedom really mean.We follow Oneika’s journey from feeling like the “odd one out” as a queer Black woman to becoming a mindfulness and yoga teacher whose work is rooted in Buddhist and yogic teachings. She shares how a profound personal loss and the collapse of her carefully constructed life pushed her toward yoga, where a single cue from a teacher cracked her open and set her on a path back to her curious, unafraid younger self.We explore what it actually means to fall in love with ourselves. Oneika explains how breath creates a felt sense of fullness that does not depend on relationships, achievements, or external validation. She reframes self-love as the capacity to hold our shame, scars, and past choices alongside that fullness, instead of trying to erase them.Oneika describes the relentless noise, chaos, and unsafety, and how she learned to be her own safe place so she could model that possibility for others. Listeners learn practical, grounded perspectives on awareness, nervous system regulation, and how to build inner safety when the outside world is anything but.In this episode, you will hear:<ul><li>Learning to fall in love with ourselves through breath, fullness, and embodiment </li><li>How awareness and inner safety can coexist with anxiety, fear, and discomfort </li><li>Teaching mindfulness and yoga at Rikers Island inside constant noise and chaos </li><li>Transformational stories of incarcerated women finding agency and calm </li><li>Using loving kindness and metta to soften hatred, work with triggers, and reclaim power </li></ul> Resources from this Episode<ul><li>Website: <a href="https://www.oneikamays.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.oneikamays.com/</a></li><li>Social media:</li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/oneikamays/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/oneikamays/?hl=en</a></li><li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/omays/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/omays/</a></li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/oneikamays/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/oneikamays/</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/oneikamays" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/oneikamays</a></li><li>Link to purchase book:</li><li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sit-Me-Journey-Mindfulness-Meditation/dp/0063435551" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/Sit-Me-Journey-Mindfulness-Meditation/dp/0063435551</a></li><li><a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/sit-with-me-a-no-bs-journey-to-mindfulness-and-meditation-oneika-mays/f62ea285a58240d7" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bookshop.org/p/books/sit-with-me-a-no-bs-journey-to-mindfulness-and-meditation-oneika-mays/f62ea285a58240d7</a></li><li><a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sit-with-Me-A-No-Bs-Journey-to-Mindfulness-and-Meditation-Paperback-9780063435551/16743158405" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sit-with-Me-A-No-Bs-Journey-to-Mindfulness-and-Meditation-Paperback-9780063435551/16743158405</a></li><li><a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/sit-with-me-oneika-mays/1147525526" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/sit-with-me-oneika-mays/1147525526</a></li><li><a href="http://www.fearunzipped.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.fearunzipped.com</a> </li></ul> Follow and Review:We’d love for you to follow us if you haven’t yet.
