Back in September I decided I wanted to overcome my fear of performing in front of audiences and learn to think quicker on my feet. So, I signed up for an intro to improv class at Spitfire Comedy House in St. Petersburg, FL. I documented the entire process for a YouTube video, so I originally filmed this conversation for that video; however, this full conversation was too good not to share. Join me today in my discussion with my Improv instructor & Improv performer, Carolyn Ramsey as we discuss how Improv can change your life and help you to build relationships, improve communication skills, cope with stress & anxiety, & so much more.

I originally filmed this conversation for my 30-day Jiu Jitsu Challenge video, but the full conversation was too good not to share. Listen in to hear from Gabe Maldonado, Mixed Martial Artist, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt, and Owner of Inside Control Academy as he shares background onJiu Jitsu, its origins, and its surprising healing powers.

So yeah... I dropped off the face of the earth with posting episodes. Things got a little chaotic in my life this summer, between weddings, work trips, & a horror story of a first-time homeownership.

I hope this podcast has inspired you to get out of your comfort zone, follow your passions, and go on a journey of GROWTH. Thank you for being here. So for today let's catch up, & also say see you later, because this is the end of season 1.

Let's just face it: social media can be SERIOUSLY toxic. At the same time, it can be an incredibly powerful tool to connect, make friends, start a business, and follow your passion project. So let's talk about it: the pro's the con's and the ways to make it sustainable for you and your mental health :)

Today I wanted to talk about something that has helped me show up consistently and reach my goals, even when I'm feeling down: Radical Confidence. This term was coined my Lisa Bilyeu in her book called Radical Confidence, and when I read the book I realized that it was the perfect term for something I was already doing. So let's talk about how it helps me (even today) and how you could apply it to your life!

With TikTok and short-form video, it often feels like we have no choice but to follow trends. It can be SO overwhelming. There's this intense pressure to stay cool, relevant, and "on-trend." But what about being innovative? What about standing out? What about being truly creative? I think it's easy to get lost in trying to go viral, so I wanted to talk about it. The pro's, the con's, and what I think you should do instead.

What do you think? Do you like following trends or do you stray away? Send me an email or leave a comment on our IG page :)

Today's episode was inspired by advice from a TikTok I recently watched where Professor Scott Galloway says he believes that following your passions is the worst advice someone can give you. I disagree, and today I wanted to talk about WHY. If you liked this episode, let me know what other advice/videos I should react to!

I'm so happy to be back to weekly episodes pals! This week, I wanted to share the story behind the new merch that I recently launched. It was a moment where a small, random, unexpected act of kindness changed my day and opened my eyes to the importance of these little acts. By the way - Smile, it looks good on you :)

I've been creating content for almost 3 years now and there’s been a lot of different era’s so I wanted to talk about them as we enter a new era. From Siri, to Starbucks, to colorful smoothies it has been an amazing journey and I couldn't have done it all without YOU. I've fallen in love with the podcast format of creating because it feels most like me. SO with that being said here's what you can expect:

• MORE PODCAST CONTENT: I'm going to get back to weekly posting of audio episodes to Spotify, Apple music, and anywhere you get your podcasts

Recently I've been focusing a lot on improving my health, including meditating, eating better, and workout out more. So I wanted to bring an expert in the health and wellness industry onto the podcast!
