In this episode of the Fully Stoked Podcast, host Sarah Stokes sits down with Maria Moore, owner of Asheville Cryotherapy in Woodfin, North Carolina — a premier wellness and recovery studio offering whole-body cryotherapy, red light therapy, infrared sauna, and compression therapy.

Maria shares her journey from physical therapy to entrepreneurship, explains how cryotherapy works (even if you’re nervous about the cold), and breaks down the benefits of each modality — from reducing inflammation and pain to improving circulation, boosting mood, and aiding muscle recovery. You’ll also hear how Maria built her business in a new city, the importance of community partnerships, and the power of showing up on camera to grow your brand.

Whether you’re curious about cold therapy, looking for natural recovery tools, or seeking inspiration to grow your own business, this episode delivers actionable insight and authentic conversation.

Welcome back to the Fully Stoked Podcast! I’m your host, Sarah Stokes, and today I’m sitting down with my friend Melinda Willison — founder of Upwelling Therapeutic Services.

Melinda spent 25 years as an educator before stepping into clinical counseling after seeing needs that couldn’t be met inside the school system alone. In this episode, we talk about:

• Why anxiety and performance pressure are showing up everywhere (especially in teens)

• Reactivity vs responsiveness and how emotional intelligence starts with your thoughts

• DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and the concept of “Wise Mind” (balancing logic + emotion)

• Identity, self-talk, resilience, and practical tools that help people function better at home, work, and in leadership

• What therapy looks like for teens and families (confidentiality, parent involvement, and support options)
