About this episode

In this conversation Soli and I unpack the dark side of hustle culture, functional-medicine testing, why most “bio-hacks” are noise, the six-figure tuition that real-estate mistakes provide, and the big swing she’s planning next: a network of modern bathhouses that fuse design, community, and deep restoration. • How a single kombucha in Guatemala triggered two years of spiralling illness • The gut, hair-mineral, and blood panels that finally cracked the case • Why sauna + cold plunge beat red-light therapy (for her) every time • Turning a tired 1950s motel into a Forbes-featured wellness hideaway • Losing $500 000 in deals — and why she’d sign the cheques again • Choosing a partner who roots for your wildest ideas, not the safest ones • Fund model vs. syndication: the hot debate every aspiring hotel owner facesStick around for Soli’s thoughts on stepping off the goal-treadmill, finding joy in stillness, and giving yourself permission to change your mind without apology. ----- Chapters 00:00 Intro 00:45 Burnout & Health Crisis 08:18 Wellness Trends Debunked 17:31 Parasite & Healthcare 25:54 Functional Medicine Answers 34:12 Sabbatical & New Vision 41:29 Real-Estate Losses & Lessons 50:26 Building TERRA Wellness Hotel 57:35 Bigger Dreams & Support -------- CONNECT WITH SOLI Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/lattes.and.leases/ CONNECT WITH KASSIDY Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/kassidy.warren --------- LISTEN & WATCH• Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/for-your-o YOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/@KassidyWarren
