  • I don't have to tell you that 2020 has been far from perfect. But you've made it this far, through COVID and quarantine and phased re-openings. Maybe you lost your job, or even worse, a loved one. You became besties with an app named, Zoom.

    Or maybe you haven't felt like celebrating at all. And that's understandable. Life wasn't meant to be lived like a real-life version of The Sims. You had plans. And those plans were tossed out the window. But that's why it's more important than ever before, to find your own light.

  • If you’re an aspiring beginner runner, a sometimes runner, or a wannabe runner that daydreams about running if only you had more energy, the right clothes, weighed less, fresh joints, more hours in your day, a plan to follow, or tips to get started, then today’s episode is a must-listen. The runners gliding through your local park might be enough to motivate you to head out on the road yourself, or maybe you’re just looking for a way to be more active or lose weight. But no matter why you want to start running, it’s time to lace up and enjoy every step, well, maybe not every step, but you'll get there.

    For some backup, I invited the creator of the blog and Facebook group, FATGIRLRUNNING, Mirna Valerio to the show. Mirna is an ultramarathoner, teacher, National Geographic 2018 Adventurer of the Year, and author of the book, A Beautiful Work in Progress.

    And even if running never crosses your mind, something does. Something that u have wanted to try or succeed at, that until this point has eluded you. Keep listening, because there are some gems in today’s episode for you too. Practices and philosophies you can apply to whatever goal or item are on your to-do list.

  • There is never a wrong time to practice a little "thank you." They say the Holidays are the MOST wonderful time of the year, but between the little things like Christmas, Hannukah, and Kwanza shopping, perfecting cooking recipes, and navigating holiday travel or the big things like missing loved ones, deployment overseas, or little money in the bank, this time of the year can be downright STRESSFUL.

    When you are operating from a place of stress, it ain't always easy to remember gratitude. But there are easy ways to take the pressure off and still find time to say, 'thanks.'

    In this episode we discuss:

    Gratitude and discontentment can live in the same space - there's room for both! How to remain grateful in the midst of the chaos, sadness, and frustration Is it possible for you to be happy NOW and still strive for your long term goal? CALL FOR LISTENER FEEDBACK: Have there been any experiences you lived through that now, one, five or ten years later, you can be grateful?

  • Sleep is a primary biological need, but 2 out of 3 people are not getting enough sleep. Is that you?

    Sleep affects almost every type of tissue and system in the body – from the brain, heart, and lungs to metabolism, immune function, mood, and disease resistance. Research shows that a chronic lack of sleep, or getting poor quality sleep, increases the risk of disorders including high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression, and obesity.

    On today's show:

    A quick quiz to determine if you're getting enough sleep Why your brain (not just your body) desperately needs sleep to properly function 5 tips to a longer and more restful sleep from a sleep expert The podcast I use to beat insomnia

  • We spend a lot of time on YOU WANNA DO WHAT?! talking about side hustles, bucket list items and achieving goals - from mindset to health and everything in between. I often tell people that YOU WANNA DO WHAT?! is about being more than your day job. but what if you love what you do AND keep the things you value - family, fitness, and fun - top of mind? What if you designed your days to fit all of it?

    Danay Escanaverino, is the CEO of LunaSol Media and is known as a Multicultural Marketing Growth Hacker. I first met Danay through social media where each morning I would welcome her daily posts. She runs nearly every morning, is a mom to two boys, a wife... but to me, Danay's big YOU WANNA DO WHAT?! truth is... not apologizing.

    We discuss:

    The "aha moment" that changed her life (hint: her son was only 2 years old when it happened) Work-life balance Why community is embedded in her work to help Hispanic and Latinx thrive Opening yourself up to new experiences
