We all feel stuck sometimes! On this episode of The Danay Garcia Podcast, I chat with writer Colleen Weems about what it’s like to feel blocked, and the magic and struggle it takes to get through it. We talk about the beauty of taking new approaches when we get blocked, and finding comfort and community when we seek out the stories of people who have been there before us.

Your life experience - no matter your path or career - can help you trust your voice so you keep going and even tackle something that may have once felt impossible.

You can find Colleen’s book at https://colleenweems.com/novel-the-ifs/, and she has another one in the works!

His masterful concept, the Five Rights, guides all of us towards success, and Terry outlines strategies for effective storytelling. I have a feeling Terry’s attitude and wisdom will inspire you to wake up, take action, and realize you are unbreakable.

You might know Mo Collins from her rich history in comedy, but I had the privilege of acting alongside her in “Fear the Walking Dead,” where we watched her completely transform for her character, Sarah Rabinowitz. On this episode of The Danay Garcia Podcast, Mo and I share laughs and swap stories from on and off the set, and talk about the beautiful relationship between comedy and drama. The full and deep life Mo lives away from the screen brims with art, wisdom, healing, collaboration and joy. Together we explore what it looks like to be delicate and forgiving with ourselves, and what that means for our art and our connections with others.

It was so special reconnecting with you on my Instagram LIVE⁠!

On this episode of Danay Garcia Podcast⁠, I talk about the importance of taking breaks and being intentional about stepping back and stepping away. When you even think about taking a break – that usually means you are running out of gas, and it is time to nurture your mind, body and spirit.

Make a plan to spend some quality time with yourself! Alone time can sometimes be intimidating, but if you approach it with intentionality, you can ensure it is a special time of healing and renewal. This is what I call projecting and visualizing the best rest to regain your superpowers.

Make sure to write down your victories! We’re half way through the year already – it feels like it’s flying by, because you have been doing so much! Make a list of your accomplishments, prioritize your next victories and attack them!

Never forget you are a special human and you have the power to live your life to the fullest ~ and have fun in the process.

Branden’s curiosity, travels, life experience and rich academic and professional background beautifully and joyfully combine to help us remember the importance of community, and show us what it looks like to live from the heart.

I was thrilled to talk brains, collaboration and inclusivity with Sherri Dockree on this episode of the Danay Garcia Podcast! Sherri shares with us her personal experiences with ADHD (Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder), and clears up some of the common myths and misconceptions around ADHD. In addition to being a neurodiversity advocate, Sherri is a certified applied neuroscience consultant, corporate trainer and coach who works with adults who have been diagnosed with ADHD or struggle with attention, focus, productivity and emotion regulation issues. 

Sherri shines a light on the neuroscience behind ADHD, and the fascinating ways neurodiversity contributes to our homes and workplaces as well as the importance of collaboration and inclusivity in our neurodiverse world.

This is an important conversation for anyone who is, knows, or loves someone who is neurodiverse…which is all of us!

We are jumping into Season 2 of The Danay Garcia Podcast, tapping into the power of our potential, and re-evaluating our mindsets! I was thrilled to kick off the new season by welcoming to the podcast, entrepreneur, writer, philosopher and motivational speaker, Peter Sage.

While we all are born with natural potential, where things go after that gets a little….complicated. Our environments, our choices, habits, and friends all form, direct, and re-direct the trajectory of our lives. Where are we seeking validation? How does living with joy today affect us tomorrow?

Peter offers us tools and vivid imagery to help us examine where we are at right now, and make the adjustments to get to where we want to go. He reminds us we need to cast ourselves as the stars in the movies of our own lives.
