Ageless Radiance Club

Michael Ryan Train like Hugh Jackman

Carlii Lyon has spent more than two decades helping extraordinary people shape their stories, from supermodels and global entrepreneurs to bestselling authors and spiritual leaders. As a publicist, she built reputations that captured the world’s attention, but over time her work shifted from curating others’ narratives to reclaiming her own.

Her book Courage to Be – Small Steps for a Big Life is part memoir, part manifesto, exploring the quiet but profound acts of courage that redefine our lives. Through honest storytelling, Carlii invites readers to embrace visibility, imperfection and the liberation that comes with speaking our truth.

This conversation is both professional and deeply personal. Carlii and I have known each other for nearly twenty years, through motherhood, reinvention and the ever-evolving landscape of womanhood. She introduced me to Dr John Demartini and Miranda Kerr when her career as a powerhouse publicist was in full swing. I met her as a junior publicist, full of promise and drive, and we have travelled together, breastfed our babies side by side, and held each other through heartbreak and triumph.

In this episode we talk about authenticity, confidence, storytelling and self-discovery—the courage to evolve, to be seen and to stand fully in your truth.

Key Takeaways
Authentic personal branding begins with self-acceptance
Style and presence can express confidence without pretense
Relationships and friendships are essential to personal growth
Self-doubt fades when we own our unique path
Evolution requires courage and curiosity
Community support fuels reinvention
Beauty is individual and should be celebrated

In this insightful conversation, endocrinologist Dr Rocio Salas-Whalen joins Bahar to demystify the science and emotional journey behind GLP-1 medications. They explore how these drugs—originally developed for diabetes—have become a cornerstone of modern metabolic and hormonal health.

From microdosing pitfalls to the importance of muscle preservation, protein intake, and hydration, Dr Salas-Whalen explains why these medications can be transformative when used responsibly under medical supervision.

The discussion also touches on the psychological side of weight loss, the future of obesity treatment, and how GLP-1 might even influence brain health and addiction recovery. Dr Salas-Whalen’s new book Weightless offers practical guidance for women navigating midlife metabolism with compassion and science.

The Science of Weightloss  After 40 with Dr Rocio Salas-Whalen

In this enlightening episode, Bahar is joined by Manish Mallas, a neuroscience-informed mindfulness teacher whose lineage traces back to the Buddha himself. Blending ancient wisdom with modern neuroscience, Manish brings clarity and depth to the practice of mindfulness for contemporary life.

Together, they discuss the role of ancestry in shaping spiritual awareness, the science behind meditation and breath, and the importance of taking radical personal responsibility for one’s emotional wellbeing. Manish also unpacks how scent and sensory awareness can influence emotional states and how a consistent mindfulness practice can lead to profound personal awakening.
