In this episode of Fountains of Youth, Micah is joined by co-host Dr. Rachel Myers and special guest Janice Ailerson, an art teacher, yoga instructor, and passionate advocate for healthy living.

Together, they explore what it means to age well—not just by adding years to your life, but by adding life to your years. Janice shares practical insights on movement, nutrition, mindset, creativity, and the small daily habits that can make a lasting difference in your health and well-being.

Of course, it wouldn't be Fountains of Youth without a few laughs along the way! We put everyone to the test with a round of Blind Rankings, where the rankings get locked in before the next item is revealed, and we wrap things up with an art challenge that proves creativity isn't always about talent!

What does freedom really look like?

In this episode of Fountains of Youth, Micah and Shane sit down with Stephen Coleman, COO of Sandhills Adult & Teen Challenge, to talk about addiction, recovery, second chances, and the habits that can quietly control our lives.

Stephen shares his own journey, what he's learned from helping others find freedom, and why recovery isn't just for people battling substance abuse—it's a conversation that applies to all of us.

Along the way, we tackle another Urban Dictionary challenge, laugh our way through some truly bizarre Facebook Marketplace finds (including the legendary "Glizzy Rake"), and explore practical insights on staying young in mind, body, and spirit.
