#170 –Al Richards - A Conversation about Pinholes of Light

Welcome to the #ShareYourHotness Podcast episode 170!

Al Richards is an Internationally Certified Crisis & Recovery Coach, host of AR – The Other Side of Addiction Podcast, and Co-Founder of the Healing Utah Success Summit.

His story isn’t just about surviving addiction—it's about rising through it.

He’s walked the painful road of losing a 24-year career, battling through addiction, navigating the heartbreak of a spouse who struggled with alcoholism, and, most recently, facing a life-changing below-the-knee amputation. Just weeks later, he lost his wife.

But here's what Al has learned: Faith, resilience, and learning to harness our emotions are what help us grow stronger—not despite our pain, but because of it.

Al speaks from lived experience, and he speaks from his heart. Al’s goal is to remind others that they’re not alone, and that transformation is possible—no matter how far down they’ve gone.

#165 –Richard Davidson Part 2 - Being Alkaline

Welcome to the #ShareYourHotness Podcast episode 165!

Richard Davidson (Alkalarian) 1st * Keynote Speaker, Author, Heart Attack Prevention Advisor, Retired U.S. Navy Diver, CLO (Chief Longevity Officer), I Walk My Talk

Richard Davidson was born in 1941 and raised in Salt Lake City, UT. His life journey has been nothing short of extraordinary, marked by a remarkable career in the U.S. Navy and a passion for promoting his own health and wellness through the concept of “Alkalinity”.

In 1959, Richard enlisted in the U.S. Navy and demonstrated exceptional dedication and skill, achieving the prestigious rank of Master Chief Petty Officer (MCPO) and Chief Warrant Officer within 10 years. He acquired diving expertise in Para-SCUBA, Mixed Gas, and Hard Hat Diving, as well as qualifying as a Master Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Technician. After a distinguished service of 20 years, he retired from the Navy in 1982 as a Chief Warrant Officer (CWO4).

Richard's entrepreneurial spirit led him to own a Sir Speedy Printing Center and as a Book Publisher from 1991 to 1996. During this period, he collaborated with over 700 authors, contributing significantly to the literary landscape.

In 1999, Richard became an Associate at the Salt Lake City "Water and Wellness Center," where his journey towards advocating alkaline water and wellness began. Inspired by influential works such as "Alkalize or Die" (1992) by Dr. Theodore A. Baroody and "The pH Miracle" (2002) by Dr. Robert O. Young. Basically, Richard started the "Alkalinity Movement" in 2002.

His dedication to promoting alkaline mineral water led to its introduction at the Water and Wellness Center in 2004.

In 2007, Richard embarked on a 4-year sabbatical in Missouri, where he immersed himself in learning Dr. Mayr's 100-year-old natural wellness program. His commitment to health took a personal turn in 2009 when he experienced a "Massive Heart Attack." Recognizing the symptoms, he acted swiftly, and due to his active Alkalarian lifestyle, he underwent a successful recovery without any side effects.

Richard's passion for educating others about the “alkaline” concept saw him conducting live classes from 2011 to 2015, and virtual classes from 2018 to present, spreading up-to-date awareness about the potential benefits of maintaining a balanced body pH level.

Continuing his pursuit of knowledge, Richard explored works like “The Acid Alkaline Food Guide” by Dr Susan E. Brown (2004), "The Alkaline Cure" by Dr. Stephen Domenig (2014) and "Get Off Your Acid" by Dr. Daryl Gioffre (2018), further solidifying his expertise in the field.

Richard's passion for wellness and advocacy for the Alkalarian lifestyle led him to establish the "Alkaline Club of America," aiming to certify one million "Alkalarian" individuals. He is currently dedicated to the "Heart Attack Prevention" business, resolute in his mission to save lives and prevent heart-related health issues.

With his first book set to be released in 2025, Richard's influence is poised to grow even further. His journey will culminate in a possible TEDx talk and a promising professional speaking career.

Richard is associated with influential figures like Jack Canfield, author of "Chicken Soup for the Soul," and actively participates in the National Speakers Association (NSA) Mountain West Chapter, alongside esteemed individuals and worldwide speakers, like Dan Clark and Kathy Loveless.

For those seeking to embrace a healthier lifestyle through alkalinity, Richard Davidson is a trustworthy guide. Reach out to him through his website and consider his FREE 15 Minute Wellness Assessment and the possibility of joining the Alkalarian movement towards optimal wellness.

#164 –Sky Tate Part 2 - A Conversation about Medical Advocacy

Welcome to the #ShareYourHotness Podcast episode 164!

Sky Tate was born and raised in Miami, Florida. She was actively involved in the performing arts, particularly dance. Initially, Sky envisioned a career as a dancer and pursued it as one of two majors in college. However, balancing dance and architecture proved overwhelming due to the rigorous studio hours required for both disciplines. After several hospital visits due to exhaustion and stress, Sky focused solely on architecture.

After completing her education, Sky moved to Los Angeles, California, where she gained diverse work experience. She worked independently as a residential designer, contributed to a design-build firm, and held a position at an interior design firm. Eventually, Sky discovered a unique opportunity to run a maker-space program at a private K-12 school. During this time, she also volunteered with various organizations ranging from arts and engineering to homeless outreach. She enjoyed weekly contact improvisation meetups with fellow dancers. Life was fulfilling in Los Angeles, but then she met her future husband, who was living in Utah at the time. They married in L.A. and subsequently moved to South Jordan, Utah.

While on their honeymoon, Sky became pregnant with their first child. The pregnancy was challenging due to an overproduction of relaxin, leading to Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD), which severely impacted mobility. By the third month, simple tasks like walking became difficult, and there were instances where she was unable to get off the floor without assistance. She always hoped this would be the least of her concerns about her pregnancy. The assumption is that if a mother is very active before pregnancy, she'll have an easy pregnancy -- that was not her experience.

The delivery went as anticipated, but complications arose when the baby required care in the NICU. The hospital experience was fraught with inadequate support and a lack of professionalism in both Sky's and the baby's care. She was discharged without being seen by their attending physician, and concerns were dismissed until a follow-up with her ObGyn revealed that she had developed postpartum preeclampsia. This condition reappeared after the birth of her second child and necessitated medication for over a year.

This ordeal has motivated Sky to use every opportunity to educate other women about postpartum preeclampsia and the importance of self-advocacy in medical settings. Although doctors are bound by the Hippocratic Oath, biases can still impact patient care. Pregnancy and childbirth are the most vulnerable and challenging events that most women will face in their lifetime, but it's also one where we naturally hand all of the decisions to our doctors. She used the same ObGyn for both of her children, but the experience at the two hospitals was night and day. And the way she sees it, it's about advocating for oneself.

Six months after the birth of her second child, Sky and her family relocated to Southwest Florida, where they faced the loss of their home due to multiple evacuations over two and a half years. While simultaneously working toward homesteading goals and homeschooling her children, the family decided to leave Florida and embark on a new chapter --- embracing a life filled with renewed interest and beauty.

#163 –Rachael Curfew - Forgiveness Matters

Welcome to the #ShareYourHotness Podcast episode 163!

Rachael Curfew is a Professional Speaker, Relationship Strategist, and Certified Coach. She serves coaching clients and businesses worldwide, helping strengthen personal relationships so individuals can thrive in their professional careers. Rachael delivers transformation through speaking, workshops, and breakout sessions. Known for her calm, compassionate presence, she brings both warmth and clarity to every conversation—whether on stage, in a coaching session, or around a boardroom table.

_Rachael was in a very unhealthy and unhappy marriage, filled with fear. Along with her kids, she had a lot of anxiety and other mental health challenges. She did all she could with the knowledge, resources, and tools at hand to figure out how to help herself and her kids. She was in therapy, went to church, and did all the “right things” to be happy and forgive. She thought she had checked off all the boxes. One day, she felt this strong prompting that she needed to forgive. She thought, “What on earth does she need to forgive him for?” But she did. Everything she can possibly forgive at this point she has. But the prompting continued. It hit her, “She needs to forgive herself.” It took her a minute to figure out what she needed to do to forgive, and whom she needed to forgive. _

Forgiveness in a relationship is hard, especially when we do not get an apology or closure… and when it seems so unfair. Forgiveness is about the relationship you have with yourself, and for many of us, our Savior. It’s a freedom process that allows an individual to be authentic and feel alive. 

The process to forgive daily starts with the little irritations. Starts with the small stuff. It’s a skill, a habit.
