As founder of True Contour Medical in Scottsdale, Arizona, Dr. Armendariz explains how liposuction, fat transfers, stem cell therapy, and PRP are redefining aesthetic care—not just for beauty, but for vitality and long-term health. He discusses how these procedures can help patients reclaim confidence, improve physical health, and adopt healthier lifestyles. This conversation dives deep into how aesthetics can serve as a catalyst for holistic well-being, not just physical transformation.

Tara unpacks the deeper emotional and energetic wounds that lead to self-abandonment, and how healing from the inside out—not from a diet or number on a scale—creates lasting change. If you've ever felt stuck in cycles of self-sabotage or people-pleasing, this episode offers a grounded roadmap back to your truth.

Crack the Cortisol Code: Confidence, Chemistry & Clarity with Jenny Evans
Friday Jun 06, 2025
Friday Jun 06, 2025
In this episode of Mind Over Matter, we dive into the hidden chemistry of burnout, performance, and confidence with Jenny Evans — global speaker, resilience coach, and founder of Powerhouse Performance and Solon Fire. Jenny explains how cortisol, often misunderstood as just a "stress hormone," quietly sabotages mental clarity, energy, and decision-making. More importantly, she unpacks simple, science-backed rituals for reversing cortisol's effects — without a lifestyle overhaul. From micro-bursts of movement to redefining confidence as action over emotion, Jenny’s insights will help you regain control, protect your energy, and reconnect with purpose in high-pressure environments.
About the Guest:Jenny Evans is a performance coach, speaker, and founder of Solon Fire, a high-performance community for women. With a background in exercise physiology and psychology, she has spent two decades helping leaders and organizations understand how stress, brain chemistry, and behavior intersect. Jenny is known for translating complex neuroscience into simple, actionable tools for resilience, energy, and confidence.
Key Takeaways:
Cortisol isn't the enemy — chronic exposure is. Microbursts of physical activity (30–60 seconds) are the fastest way to reset.
High achievers often confuse endurance with resilience; recovery is not optional.
Confidence is not a feeling, it’s a skill — built by taking action before you feel ready.
Purpose is the fastest mindset reset: if the task doesn’t align with your mission, it’s a red flag.
Micro-recovery (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual) throughout the day sustains peak performance longer than grinding ever will.

Rewriting the Voice Within: Tracy Napier on Mastering Belief and Owning Your Power
Thursday Jun 05, 2025
Thursday Jun 05, 2025
In this transformative episode, Tracy Napier shares how a perceived limitation—her cleft palate and soft voice—became her greatest teacher. We explore the power of belief, how internal narratives shape our lives, and what it really means to transform from victim to creator. Tracy opens up about grief, spiritual guidance, reframing identity, and the daily mindset shifts that rewire self-image. This is not just a story about finding a voice—it’s about believing in its worth. If you’ve ever doubted your place in the world or silenced yourself out of fear, this conversation offers a powerful mirror.
About the Guest:Tracy Napier is an intuitive life coach, motivational speaker, and author of Get Changed: How to Become the Master of Your Own Life. After spending decades believing her voice and mind would limit her, Tracy turned inward, rewired her belief system, and now helps others shift from self-doubt to self-mastery. Her work blends spiritual insight with grounded personal development to guide others in transforming not by fixing, but by evolving.
Key Takeaways:
Your belief—not your voice, background, or perceived flaws—defines your potential.
Transformation is a continual evolution, not an instant switch.
Coping keeps you functioning; transformation sets you free.
Victimhood is often unconscious—awareness is the first act of power.
Reframing beliefs and listening to intuition can unlock authentic confidence and visibility.
