So much fun having my cousin Lea Bacci on the podcast! Like many of us, Covid sparked a need for Lea to do more to help others, so she started an Instagram account called @just_a_girl1978 where she started sharing insights and ideas about the everyday struggles we all face to balance family, job, personal growth and just getting through life on the daily.
Lea wears many hats, but she is a caretaker in all of them: wife, mom, daughter, friend and public health professional. In this episode, we talk about the importance of self care and activating auto-pilot when dealing with aging parents, demanding kids, as well as prioritizing relationships and managing your career.

The first Ladies Jiu Jitsu Jam was awesome, with more than 80 amazing females on the mat! That wouldn’t have been possible without my friend and perfect training partner, Maia Matalon. She’s definitely someone I want you to get to know on a deeper level: She is a mom, stepmom, badass BJJ black belt and helps run High Noon BJJ in Virginia with her partner Tim Dawson. Maia also worked for several years as a firefighter and paramedic. I look up to her as a jiu jitsu mentor and am grateful to call her my friend. Follow Maia on IG @maiamatalon, High Noon @highnoonbjj and of course give Ladies Jiu Jitsu Jam a follow @ladiesjiujitsujam.

This past year, our school had a big influx of college students from the University of Maryland. One of them, Chris Giuditta, is also the owner of Ono Bowls Food Truck. Chris has been great to train with on the mats, but as he graduates and moves onto a career in finance, I had to interview him about becoming an entrepreneur at the age of 17. Learn all about how he and his friend started an acai food truck business in New Jersey, and how they have kept it going. Chris is super charismatic, smart and a hard worker. This kid is definitely going places. I mean, acai and BJJ are like two peas in a pod! Check out how you can book his food truck for catering and everything they have to offer @onobowlsfoodtruck on IG.

I am really excited to have my friends Lena Blitstein & Samantha Shapiro on this week’s episode. They are the business-owner fashionista sisters of Enaz Boutiques, located throughout the Illinois Northshore. Missing from the episode but completing the fabulous sister trio is Melinda Kaplan. Enaz began when their mom, Susan Lurie, started creating custom pieces in a tiny downtown Highland Park, IL storefront. Thirty years later they have four locations: the original in HP, as well as Lake Forest, Northfield & Chicago’s hip Bucktown neighborhood. The clothing and accessories they carry are awesome – fun, functional and flirty all at once! – and the story of their success is truly inspiring. Plus, these sisters share a good dose of fashion sense and some lowdown on the latest spring trends. Follow Enaz @enazboutique for their weekly fashion insights and keep up with what’s new. You can also check out their website and order online!

Dr. Veronica Kacherova is amazing! I’ve always wanted to have an Optometrist on my podcast, and no, not just because I’m obsessed with frames;) Eye health is so important, especially with the amount of time we spend on screen these days. Dr. V gave so many great tips from what supplements to use for better eye health, the 20/20/20 rule to give your eyes a break during extended screen time to how old you should start getting eye exams and how often! She recently opened her practice Expert Family Eye Care in Lincolnshire, Illinois. But no matter where you live you want to follow them on IG @expert_family_eyecare to stay updated on what’s new in the world of vision, and yes, that includes cute frames too!

Rachel Melville has been defying gravity for almost 20 years. This amazing woman, a pro climber and environmental engineer, was my guide at the recent Hips & Grips camp in Las Vegas, and we connected right away. She’s one of the most authentic, badass people I’ve ever met. As our instructor she made me feel not only safe but confident about the challenge of rock-climbing, something I had never attempted. I’m still so impressed and inspired by the way she balances a focused mindset with an adventurous spirit. I bet you will be, too! Connect with Rachel through IG @twincannons.
