Chronicles of a Sandwich- My life Lately 🩺

An unconventional episode.
Behind the scenes with me, the sandwich. My life lately has been put on hold as I manage parents, family, and work. Straddling two worlds, that as daughter and that as mother. I’m in constant pull and push, but lately it’s been overwhelming and has taken toll on my enthusiasm and motivation.
If you’re also a sandwich and need tips for managing it all. I’m working on a health advocate blueprint. Listen in for more details.

Vibin’ with La Mera Mera-DJ Gracie Chavez

Meet powerhouse music mogul DJ Gracie Chavez!
DJ Gracie Chavez is an ambassador for the Texas music scene. She’s doin it real big (DIRB!) pushing the crossover of music genres, playing a spectrum of sounds, and winning folks over. And this mami is the perfect act with a pedigree heavy enough to handle any party.
We talk origins of her love for music, we discuss how her dad was an initial inspiration for her as he introduced her to all types of music. DJ Gracie tells us how she makes partnerships work and what to do when they don't.
We dive into her sense of self-working in a predominantly male industry.  We laugh out loud, we reminisce about the good ole music of the past and being a mom in the entertainment business!
Follow her on Instagram @djgraciechavez  and @bombontexas

Want a Five-Star Relationship? Stop Happy Meal Dating with Author Sheri Jacobs

In this episode, I would love to introduce to you my guest Sheri Jacobs author of  The Friendship Diet: Clean Out your Fridge, Get real, and Fill Your Life with Meaningful Relationships that Last. Sheri shines a light on the reasons people often feel unfulfilled in their intimate relationships and how to practice proper care and feed those connections. No one wants to suffer the consequences of empty calories. 
  In The Friendship Diet, Clean Out Your Fridge, Get Real, and Fill Your Life with Meaningful Relationships That Lasts,  Sheri and I explore how relationships, food, and friendships, are all connected. 
A few things we discussed in this episode:
The body manifests what you’re feeling, and it comes out in different ways. 
If you’re looking externally, then you’re going to end up starving because those things don’t last. 
When we remove the comforting fat of denial and build a dish made of authenticity and kindness, always begin with ourselves first, and that way we will never experience emotional malnutrition.   
I particularly enjoyed the catchy chapter titles, such as Happy Meal Dating, Identifying Empty Calories, The Buffet Line Myth. Listen in as we discuss how you can come to see you deserve that Five-Star Relationship.

Fit, Fabulous and Still Adddicted to Laughing at 58 with Katia Lessa 💋

This cliche rings so true, "age is so much more than just a number". As our guest, Katia says it's a mindset and a way of life.  We think that many women have yet to embrace aging as a natural progression for their lives. We want to think we will one day find the fountain of youth, but how wonderful can it be if we accept it as part of our human condition and embrace it to the fullest.  
And embracing it to the fullest is why I have the pleasure of introducing a very dear friend of mine Katia Lessa, Katia is a fabulous interior designer, stylist, and founder of  @lepikiofficial an all organic inspirational t-shirt line. Katia and I are here to tell you that age shouldn't stop you or any other woman from living your life to the fullest!
  Katia found her beauty at the age of 50, and it was then that she really began to feel fabulous and healthy.  She shares how she embraces her age and her maturity and has no wishes of going back.  She lives her life by enjoying every day like it's the last.

Rusk and I dissect our favorite TV Couples: Hear who scored highest in our Relationship Scale!

One of the most fun conversations Rusk and I ever have is when we go deep into our favorite fictional television relationships. Y'all we go in with our tweezers and dissect! In this fun and off-the-cuff episode, we get to go in deep on some of our favorite TV couples. We talk about what makes them a good couple if they have a good life, their money, their family dynamic dealing with kids, work, and hobbies. The conversation is in good fun and giving notes based on our experiences as a long-term couple. 
We start with Married with Children  Al and Peggy Bundy and their dysfunctional functional marriage. The complicated love between Don and Betty Draper, a '50s throwback of MadMen and his Stepford wife. The on-and-off romance between Carrie and Big on Sex and The City, then we get nasty and judgy on Issa and Lawrence of Insecure. 
Join us as we take a look back at the fictional couples whose love stories we became invested in over the years. Which couple is your favorite?
Bonus: We talk about our latest experience with Canadian Covid travel restrictions at the end of the episode.

The many forms of self love with Dr. Pallavi Kumbla 🩺

There is no right way to self-love.  As women we take that directive as a selfish act, we think that if we do something to show love to ourselves that we are denying everyone else. This episode is about exactly the opposite, it's about giving ourselves the opportunity to chase the dreams we desire, studying the type of medicine we want, and doing it for the sake of helping others love themselves more! This week Dr. Pallavi Kumbla is showing us how we can be navigators of our ships and the spreaders of more self-love. 
We shared our own stories of growing up in an immigrant family, the expectations, the perceptions, and the stereotypes.  A deep dive into why one particular life experience can dictate what career path we choose and how it changes the course of our journey.
Getting to know Dr. Pallavi Kumbla has been wonderful, her heart is deeply entrenched in helping other women feel great about themselves.  It's time we realize that confidence can start from the outside going in.

Humanizing our message with Ozeal DeBastos

In this episode, I have the pleasure of presenting to you someone that I've been following for a while online and at local events. I've attended his workshops and live events in an effort to learn how to better humanize my message, something that can be applied to almost any business or project.  Welcome my colleague and fellow podcaster Ozeal DeBastos. 
Ozeal is a podcaster, podcast consultant, and founder of Ozeal Media.  Since the launch of his podcast, No Permission Needed,  in 2017, his show has garnered iTunes’ coveted, “New and Noteworthy” designation, as well a position on Apple’s Top 50 business podcast list.  His podcast, No Permission Needed has an undisputed five-star rating, and over one million downloads.
When starting anything you will always be beset by self-doubt and questioning your ability to perform at the highest standards. Starting a podcast for me was akin to starting a new job, the imposter syndrome was and is so real, it paralyzes you if you allow it.  When Covid 19 happened it struck me that the time is now…no more waiting, because evidently time can be so fleeing. I remember Ozeal insisting that I just start, that I don’t wait until it's perfect, and that it would flow as long as I stayed true to my vision and myself. That's what this episode is here to do, motivate you to START and to keep going despite the imposter syndrome, the doubts, the self-sabotaging and not knowing the process. 
This year we both encourage you to take the opportunity to “humanize your message” and make it a viable part of any marketing strategy. Whether in business or your personal brand, we think this is the time to tell everyone your story!

And just like that....Amanda and I get ”Carried” away in this SZN 6 Premiere!

Happy New Year Viberz! I'm so thrilled to start off the year with a fun and fabulous episode opener! 
Come along and join me and my guest, Amanda Payan Farris, as we talk about the evolution of HBO's Sex and the City and the reboot And Just Like That.
Our mutual obsession started back when we were both single girls and continued through marriages and motherhood.  We have loved discovering new fashions with Carrie, the joys and challenges of living single like Charlotte, breaking glass ceilings with Miranda, and exploring sexuality with Samantha. 
In this fun opener, Amanda and I re-live our love for Sex and the City and why we both found the adaption And Just Like That unique, progressive, and timely. Our conversation delves into ageism, woke culture, POC representation, and sexuality. 
We can't promise we didn't talk a few spoilers 😉 let's just say it's been a fun ride for over twenty years and we're not ready to get off... yet!
