I Dare You Podcast

You are about to meet someone who doesn’t just talk about “living your passion” — she’s actually doing it.

Chef Abby Cheshire is a private yacht chef, a high school culinary arts teacher, best-selling author, and social media influencer (@abbyinthegalley). During the school year, she’s in the classroom shaping the next generation of chefs. But in the summer? She’s out on the open water, traveling and cooking global cuisine on a yacht.

And Abby’s new best-selling cookbook, Passport to Flavor: 100 Global Dishes You Can Make Anywhere, is not just a collection of recipes. It’s a passport into some of the coolest places on the planet.

And it’ll make you want to live a little braver the minute you finish an episode (and the minute you close the book).

She’s been featured in the New York Times, Newsweek, and more, worked with Food Network stars at Super Bowl events, and built a community of over 2.5 million followers across platforms

When she’s not on the high seas, Abby lives in Central Florida.

Grab your passport. Hit play, and say YES to the next big opportunity.

If you want a new WHAT, you need a stronger WHY.

If you’ve been saying, “This time I’m serious” … and then you fizzle (again) — this episode is for you.

In Episode 218 of the I Dare You Podcast, I’m going to help you get crystal clear on the real reason you want the change — because when your WHY is blurry, quitting starts to feel logical. And you’re not lazy. You’re unanchored.

In this episode, you’ll:

Separate WHY vs WHAT (and stop trying to solve a WHY problem with a WHAT answer)

Use one simple question to uncover what actually matters most to you

Write a one-sentence WHY statement you can use for the next 7 days

And yes — you’re going to write it down. Not “think about it.” Write it.

Hit play right now — because if you wait until you “feel ready,” you’ll be waiting forever. You don’t need more motivation. You need clarity. Press play. Open Notes. Let’s anchor you before you drift into another week.

What happens when you stop seeing limits as a stop sign and start seeing them as an invitation?

In Episode 216 of the I Dare You Podcast, I sit down with Kyle and Brent Pease. They are a world-renowned push-assist brother duo, disability advocates, and the co-founders of The Kyle Pease Foundation. Together, they have completed hundreds of endurance events and made history as the first brother team to complete the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, as a push-assist duo.

Kyle was born with cerebral palsy, and his journey is a masterclass in resilience, joy, and leadership. As Executive Director of The Kyle Pease Foundation, Brent is the engine, the coach, and the steady force behind the logistics. Kyle is the spirit, the mindset, and the reminder that the hardest part is often the mental fight. In this conversation, we talk about what race day really looks like, what inclusion actually means in everyday life, and why their mission goes far beyond the finish line.

This episode will challenge you to get curious, take the next step, and include people in ways that actually matter.

You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re overloaded.

And if you’re a high performer, here’s the truth nobody says out loud: you’re the easiest person to knock off track because you’re the person who tries to hold everything together. You carry the calendar. You carry the decisions. You carry everybody else’s needs. And when life gets loud, even the most disciplined people drift.

So let’s normalize it: getting off track is part of being human.

The only thing that matters is how fast you get back on track.

In this episode, I’m walking you through The 24‑Hour Reset. It’s a science-backed, real-life process I’ve used for years to pull myself out of funks, ruts, and chaos. And I’ve taught this same reset to thousands of high performers who needed one thing: a way to get back in control fast. No shame. No perfection. Just a road-tested plan that works when your life is already full.

Here are the 5 steps of the 24‑Hour Reset we’ll run together:



Change your state

Clear the clutter

Choose the win

Finish strong

Own the first hour



And I’m giving you one of the simplest, most effective tools for clearing mental clutter: the Brain Sweep Exercise. You stop carrying open loops in your head and give each one a next move:



Do it

Delete it

Defer it

Delegate it

Schedule it



If you’ve been off your routine, behind on everything, or stuck in that “I’ll start Monday” loop, this is your next step.

Press play, run the reset, and get your life back.
