Massage therapist Renee shares his journey from pharmacy tech to master therapist and reveals how therapeutic touch can unlock both physical and emotional healing. This conversation explores the science of fascia, the mind-body connection, and practical approaches to incorporating massage therapy into your wellness routine.

• Finding passion through massage therapy after a childhood of receiving healing touch from his grandmother
• Developing technical skills through extensive education including over 1,000 hours of formal training
• Creating safe spaces where clients feel empowered to speak up about their bodies
• Understanding fascia as the connective tissue that holds our body together like an orange peel
• Witnessing emotional releases that instantly dissolve physical tension
• Preparing the body before surgery and supporting healing afterward through therapeutic massage
• Recommending monthly massage sessions as preventative care rather than crisis intervention
• Assigning "homework" between sessions like targeted stretches that take only 5-10 minutes daily
• Practicing self-care through receiving regular massage, counseling, physical therapy and proper nutrition
• Finding the right massage therapist who listens deeply and creates a nurturing environment

The Plus One Theory centers on the idea that there's always one more intentional step we can take when we think we've reached our limits, creating real change without burnout. May's episodes focus on health and well-being across all dimensions as we explore Mental Health Awareness Month.

• Leading without ego requires recognizing that humility is strength, not weakness
• Ego-driven leadership leads to burnout, comparison, and disconnection
• Ask yourself: "Am I trying to prove something or am I trying to build something?"
• Humility isn't thinking less of yourself – it's thinking of yourself less often
• Four practical steps to practice humility: pause before reacting, ask questions instead of making statements, admit when you're wrong, and celebrate others loudly
• My personal health journey demonstrates how ego can interfere with finding solutions
• This week's challenge: Pick one moment to practice stepping aside and letting someone else lead

Pam Dwyer introduces the Plus One Theory, a philosophy centered on taking one more step forward regardless of life circumstances to create meaningful transformation over time.

• The Plus One Theory originated from Pam's childhood experience running a timed mile despite malnourishment and poverty
• During the challenging run, Pam discovered inner strength by channeling past pain into determination
• This approach became central to Pam's parenting style—expecting effort and resilience rather than perfection
• Storytelling creates powerful connections, allowing others to reflect on their own journeys
• The Plus One Theory isn't about doing more for more's sake, but about intentional small actions
• Pam is currently writing a book about the Plus One Theory featuring real stories of overcoming adversity
• Future podcast episodes will focus on applying the theory to health and wellness with expert guests
• Sustainable progress matters more than perfection when building healthy habits

Speaking your truth is the foundation of who you are, especially when you've spent years trying to be what everyone else wants you to be. Being authentic filters out people who don't truly love you while attracting those who appreciate you for who you really are.

• Growing up performing to be accepted is exhausting and disconnects you from your true self
• When you stop performing, some people will leave, revealing they didn't love the real you
• Rejection teaches us that people who truly love you stay even through disagreements
• My five-year-old granddaughter's experience with rejection reminded me to find people who value you
• The Plus One Theory encourages taking one small step toward authenticity each day
• Stop pouring energy into people who don't show up and start asking where you can be more yourself

A powerful hotel encounter reminds Pam that success isn't measured in book sales but in meaningful connections. When a hotel employee named Tyra wondered how Pam maintained joy despite past hardships, it became the highlight of her trip—far outweighing the modest sales at the Texas Country Reporter Festival.

• The Plus One Theory focuses on taking small, intentional steps beyond your perceived limits
• Sometimes success isn't measured by sales or followers but by one meaningful connection
• Sharing your story matters because it can be someone else's survival guide
• Sympathy gives you care, but belief gives you energy and purpose
• Even at 58, Pam realized she should have been sharing her story all along
• Journaling heals and could be the beginning of a book that helps others

We explore what happens when those around us don't understand our passion or goals, and why this isn't rejection but simply misalignment. Rather than draining our energy trying to convince others to see our vision, we can focus on those who are already listening and growing alongside us.

• Not everyone will see your vision, and that's okay – it's misalignment, not rejection
• Focus your energy on who's listening rather than those who don't understand
• The story of the broken ceramic bowl and the young man who crushed his pieces into dust
• How even what feels like complete brokenness can become soil for new growth
• The value of reframing "wasted time" as investments in wisdom
• Redirect your limited daily energy toward purpose rather than seeking approval

If you have a story where a small step, a tiny choice, or a "plus one" moment helped shift something big in your life, submit it through my website, pamdwyer.com on the contact page. We'll honor your story whether it's published with your name or anonymously.

The Plus One Theory podcast explores how taking one additional step, one more act of kindness, patience, or strength, creates powerful change over time despite life's challenges and unfairness.

• Everyone carries stories of heartbreak, healing, and survival that are worth sharing
• Writing and sharing authentic stories can inspire others and create meaningful connections
• Shame keeps us stuck, healing comes from naming our pain and taking action
• Implement the Plus One Theory through journaling, therapy, speaking up, and self-forgiveness
• Burnout often comes from putting energy into the wrong things rather than doing too much
• Focus energy on building what matters, healing what hurts, and loving who shows up
• Stories don't need perfect endings, they need authenticity and vulnerability
• The Plus One challenge: take one step toward reclaiming energy and offer grace to yourself

The Plus One Theory applies powerful perspective shifts to dealing with difficult people by looking beneath surface behaviors to understand hidden pain points and responding with intentional compassion. This episode explores how challenging behaviors often stem from past wounds, and how giving others a voice can transform relationships.

• The Plus One Theory centers on adding one extra step of intentional kindness or effort
• Difficult behaviors often mask deeper issues like past rejection, trauma, or current struggles
• Personal story of a volatile family friend who cut contact without explanation
• Understanding someone's behavior isn't about you helps release unnecessary guilt
• Children (and adults) often act out when they feel voiceless
• Powerful example of grandson's emotional breakthrough after being asked what was really bothering him
• Four-step approach: pause before labeling, hold compassion without enabling toxicity, focus on your response, ask what's behind their reaction
• We've all been "the difficult one" at times in our lives
