Briana Borten is a spiritual mentor and energy weaver who helps people create deep transformation and live extraordinary lives.

Briana learned early on that she was capable of creating her own destiny. When she was 18, she broke her neck in a debilitating car accident. It derailed her college career, but she unexpectedly discovered the power of positivity and the profound rehabilitative benefits of massage and energy work. She attended massage school and established a busy private practice in Portland. But she yearned to create an environment where clients could have a more comprehensive and transcendent healing experience. This came to fruition when, at age 23, she opened The Dragontree Holistic Day Spa.

Meanwhile, Briana attended California College of Ayurveda and graduated as a Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist. This training and the following years of treating patients stoked her deepening love affair with assisting others to reach their full potential.

This work has led to her opening two additional spa locations; creating a program to help people achieve their life dreams; speaking and writing extensively on personal development; formulating a product line that embodies the Dragontree’s principles and aesthetic; creating a non-profit to empower women to create lives they are inspired by; mentoring visionaries to create spiritual rootedness and become stewards of wealth; and leading transformational energy healing for groups and individuals.

In her playtime, Briana is a family girl who loves to plan, create, and celebrate. She’s a huge cuddler and enjoys Sunday morning cuddle time with her amazing kids, Phoenix and Sailor, and her sweet husband, Peter. She loves swimming in natural bodies of water, hiking in the Rocky Mountains, dancing with friends (and alone), dinner parties, natural medicine, holidays, salted caramels, hip-hop music, design and decor.

Briana and Peter have built a beautiful gathering space on their land in Boulder where they host gatherings and workshops involving meditation, ceremony, ritual and lots of dancing.

This show is a bunch of little snippets, so if you guys aren’t quite familiar with us on social media, that’s what we do. We’re all over social media. We do lives, we do reels, we do stories, we do posts, and we’ve been doing that for years. That’s kind of how we have grown our business, fortunately, and Reels is kind of the thing right now.

Everyone’s doing reels, so we got to do reels too. So obviously how social media works, they push the algorithms to do the kind of things that they want you to do for whatever reason. I think honestly tiktok’s blown up, so everyone’s kind of copying.

But at any rate, what I’ve done here is, we’ve put together 30 to 60 second clips we grabbed them from social media and we threw them together in a show. I think they’re pretty good clips. You may disagree, but I thought, why not throw those together in a show podcast audio format only so you guys can listen.

So you’re going to hear a bunch of different clips and they’ll be splitters in between, so you’ll know that there’s different topics. But my take on random topics that are going on, not just health and wellness, but around the world as well, because some things just don’t make sense. At any rate, I hope you enjoy!

This multiple six-figure entrepreneur and Forbes Coaches Council member grew up on food stamps, below the poverty line. As a kid the only thing she understood about money was that her family didn't have it. Her fear of finances carried on into her twenties where she found herself facing eviction, mountains of debt, and the consequences of just about every financial mistake a person can make. After becoming an entrepreneur she realized that earning more was only a fraction of the equation. It was then that she committed to fully transforming her relationship with money. In a few short years Hannah went from a negative net worth to becoming an investor, owning multiple properties, and building tangible wealth. Her own journey of financial liberation catalyzed the work she does today.

Hannah helps entrepreneurial leaders build wealth and become well-resourced by cultivating financial stability, sovereignty, and sustainability. Her commitment to closing the wealth gap inspired her to found The LeadWell Summit in 2021, an annual global wealth event. It's free to all participants and will be hosted again on October 17th - 21st.

With Thanksgiving coming up I thought I’d offer some Thanksgiving Holiday Nutrition Tips which can be used during any holiday season.

This is a difficult time of year for many with so many temptations right in our face, which lasts all day for some. Then the next day with treats, desserts and leftovers.

It’s important to understand we’re developing habits right now, many in which that are unhealthy. So when it come to make lifestyle changes we find results come that much harder because of the habits we’re developing right now.

We couldn't be more grateful to have you tuning in with us today to learn about manufacturing supplements. I know that might sound a bit dry to some people, but I also feel like it's a pretty important topic because when you're going to buy supplements, you should know where they come from.

You should know who you're supporting, what type of ingredients, what type of ethics are happening in and around the products that are being manufactured for you.

For example, you go to box stores, but if you go to independent, specialized companies, it's completely different. I'm going to go over that on today's show. I'm going to give you some insights of what happens, the inside scoop, and what happens when you're trying to manufacture and design your own products.

Today we've got a different kind of format. I always like to throw things at the wall to see what sticks. I also like to switch things up, not only for my benefit, because I don't like things to be stagnant, but for yours as well that we do something completely different. 

This show is a bunch of little snippets, so if you guys aren't quite familiar with us on social media, that's what we do. We're all over social media. We do lives, we do reels, we do stories, we do posts, and we've been doing that for years. That's kind of how we have grown our business, fortunately, and Reels is kind of the thing right now.

I appreciate you going to hang out with me as I talk about a very different subject. I feel like I'm talking about different subjects for quite some time now, when I say nothing less than conventional thinking, that's what the show is all about, Exploring Mind and Body. 

I'm talking about kids sharing pictures on social media, possibly exposing your kids and your children. I know a lot of you are going agree with this, but people don't go with most of what I say. So what's the difference?

So recently, I made a bold statement. I stood up on my reel and said, You know what? I don't support Tim Hortons. 

We were going to a coffee shop and I had a friend that said, Hey, let's go to Starbucks. I'm like, I don't want to go to Starbucks. I don't really want to pay $8 for a coffee. I don't really like coffee to begin with, or to pay six bucks for a tea and I can't even pronounce their words. 

So I was like, man, I don't really want to go to Starbucks. And then then he's like, Well, let's go to Tim Hortons. I'm like, No, I'm not going to Tim Hortons. I said, Don't support Tim Hortons. And he said, Why? And so I explained it to him. And then I did a quick reel on social media. 

I'm also going to talk about segregation. I'm going to talk about what happened in the last couple of years. Some people aren't going to want to hear about it. It's so much easier to bury your head in the sand and pretend nothing has happened or nothing did happen. It seems like so much has just been forgotten about. 

And so, yeah, let's do it. Let's get dirty. We're going to talk about some politics. We're going to talk about what's right and wrong. We're going to talk about what, in my opinion, was good and bad and maybe we can do something about it.

Today I'm talking about an interesting industry. I'm talking about personal training. And I got the idea because I threw up a reel on social media and I had some interesting conversations. 

I like to have these conversations just to see what people think and a lot of people haven't really thought about it. But the fact of the matter is that personal training is a failing industry. 

And I give reasons why and we'll talk about it throughout the show. But some people were offended, of course, and some people didn't really believe it, and then others were in agreement. And that's okay. 

Everyone's allowed to share their own opinion. Everyone is allowed and should have their own opinion. So I'm going to tell you my angle and what I believe is going to be the future of personal training and why it doesn't work for either side, the trainer or the individual. And then what you can do instead.
