    Jul 12 2026
    Rock icon Mike Tramp joins Cali Estes for another personal conversation on Unpause Your Life.

    Best known as the voice of White Lion, Mike opens up about far more than music. He shares what led him to write the foreword for Cali's book, I Married a Junkie, reflects on his friendship with her late husband, and speaks candidly about the loss of his own brother.

    Together, they explore grief, addiction, family, and the choices that shape our lives. Mike also discusses navigating the height of the rock-and-roll era without becoming consumed by the drugs and alcohol that surrounded so many musicians, offering a perspective on resilience, personal responsibility, and staying true to yourself.

    This episode is an honest conversation about loss, healing, friendship, and finding purpose through life's hardest moments, proof that our greatest stories often begin long after the spotlight fades.

    EP 133 Building a Resilient Mindset with Chris Holt
    Jul 2 2026
    What if the key to changing your life isn't finding an easier path but becoming someone who can handle harder things?

    In this episode of Unpause Your Life, we sit down with Chris Holt, a performance coach, former CrossFit affiliate owner, and mindset expert who has spent nearly two decades helping people build resilience from the inside out.

    Chris shares why physical fitness is only one piece of the puzzle and how nutrition, stress management, daily habits, and the choices we make when no one is watching all work together to shape the life we create. Together, we explore what it means to raise your standards, embrace discomfort, and develop the confidence that comes from consistently doing difficult things.

    Chris's journey has been featured by CrossFit for his innovative coaching approach and by Men's Health after completing the grueling Double Murph challenge, but what stands out most is his belief that resilience isn't something you're born with, it's something you build, one decision at a time.Whether you're feeling stuck, working toward a healthier lifestyle, or simply looking for the motivation to take the next step forward, this conversation will challenge you to rethink what's possible.
