Today's interview is perhaps a polarizing one...but honestly I learned SO much from this interview so I hope you'll listen before making any judgments.This week's interview is with Demiana Dacosta who is an exotic dancer. Demiana actually pitched me the idea and if you've been a longtime listener you clearly know that I have not had on anyone anywhere near this background so I thought it was a great opportunity to broaden not only my understandings of this career, but yours too. Demiana and I talk about how she got started in her career as an exotic dancer, what her family/friends/and boyfriend think of her in this career, the many misconceptions and stereotypes about the industry, what a typical shift looks like, what the pay structure is for dancers, and a lot more. I really enjoyed my conversation with Demiana and I'm excited for you guys to tune in and learn too. As always, I'd love to invite you to join the day in the life podcast Facebook group so connect with other listeners and we can talk about this interview...I'm sure there will be opinions and I welcome them! Excited for you to tune in and hope you enjoy!

Today's minisode we're talking about why I stopped following the news. Meg and I talked about social media and how she stopped sharing as much of her personal life on social media which led me to share how I've stopped paying attention to the news and I wanted to dive in deeper into this topic as I'm sure people have a variety of thoughts and feelings on this topic. First off, it's very difficult for me to "completely" turn off from any and all news as much of my career is based off of being on my computer/internet and being active on social media. However, I have significantly reduced the amount of time I spend consuming the news, talking about the news, etc. Tune in to find out why I did this, how it's significantly improved my life, and why you need to consider removing the negative from your life to.

Hello, hello and we are back from our winter break with the first minisode of 2019 and we are starting with a bang by talking about vulnerability. We've touched a little on this in a past minisode about setting fear aside but I want to talk more specifically about vulnerability as that was a topic we discussed thoroughly during this week's interview with Alexis Teichmiller. Being vulnerable is hard for me, like it is for almost anyone else. The reasons why it's hard for me is because I don't like being seen as weak or like I can't do something or that I don't know what I'm doing. I think most people have those fears or similar fears so even though I know I'm not alone in those feelings...being vulnerable is still hard. Nobody likes the feeling of rejection. Nobody likes the feeling of loneliness.But it's interesting, because when people are most vulnerable, we celebrate their strength. We love seeing others be so raw, honest and open but it's still difficult for us to be comfortable with sharing our own vulnerabilities. Tune in to find out the two ways I'm being more vulnerable in 2019, tips for how you can too, and my challenge on being more vulnerable.
