Welcome back to the "Yes, We Can!" podcast! 🎙️ In this heartfelt and inspiring episode, host Kira Andersen sits down with the incredible Lauren and Chris Pronger. Chris, a former St. Louis Blues hockey player, and Lauren, founder of the wellness travel company Well Inspired Travels, share their journey of navigating life’s challenges, personal growth, and their mission to inspire others to live well.

Lauren and Chris open up about their lives, including the struggles and triumphs that have shaped who they are today. Lauren talks about her passion for wellness, which grew from personal experiences and family tragedies, such as her father’s battle with cancer. She describes how travel became a magical experience for her, as it allowed her father to embrace life while fighting for more time. This inspired her to create Well Inspired Travels, a wellness-focused travel company that helps others prioritize their health and well-being through carefully curated travel experiences.

Chris shares his transition from being a professional hockey player to focusing on health and wellness. He discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic led him to reevaluate his health and the steps he’s taken to adopt a "super well" lifestyle, inspired by Lauren’s expertise in wellness. Together, they are passionate about using their platform to help others optimize their lives, both physically and mentally.

This episode delves into the Prongers’ commitment to wellness, their journey through personal challenges, and their exciting new ventures, including luxury wellness consulting and Chris’s impactful work as a speaker.

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
