In 1988 Philadelphia's own DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince released a song titled “Parents Just Don’t Understand” and 30 years later, millennials across the globe still rock this song as their generational anthem. To millennials, baby boomers are judgmental, close-minded, and are still living in a world that no longer exists. To baby boomers, millennials are not fully informed on the way of the world, spoiled, and have no work ethic. Will there ever come a day where these two powerhouses ever see eye to eye? In part one of episode 006, i give my own millennial thoughts and opinions on where i believe the miscommunication(s) may be and how i think they can be solved once and for all.

a couple of years ago i found myself at a crossroad not really knowing which direction i should go or even who i really was as a person. one day this book popped up in my amazon suggestions and i decided to give it shot...and it changed my life. i believe everything in life happens for a reason and that when we speak things into the universe, the universe talks back. it then becomes on us if we are willing and open to hear what the universe has to say. i believe amazon “suggesting” this book was the universes way of providing me with the direction and guidance i was so desperately seeking at the time. this podcast is about the book titled The Motivation Manifesto, 9 Declarations to Claim Your Personal Power, written by Brendon Burchard. in this podcast i talk about finding this gem, my personal experiences where aspects of the book have influenced me or my thinking, and i also share a few of my favorite excerpts. for anyone feeling lost in this world, unmotivated, uninspired, or inadequate - this book and this 'cast is for you - for us.

i am not an easy book to read but my best friend and my manager are confident they know me inside and out so it was only right that i test their knowledge with questions no one in the history of trivia games (or hosts) has ever been asked. will it be my best friend, who shares the same name and brain as me, or my manager, who is the only person on this planet to speak fluent bambina, that comes out victorious? listen to find out!

dating in my 20's was similar to every 20-year-old's lifestyle - immature, exciting, and wild - and philadelphia was the perfect city to host my antics. but now in my thirties, matured, and some would say grandma-ish, philadelphia is not conducive to my new vibe AT ALL. but why? why does it feel like city stands out amongst all the others as the worst city to date/be single in? i asked one of my partners in crime from my wild child days to join me on this 'cast to discuss our thoughts on the matter.

your 20's are for having fun, exploring life, and the people that you meet along the journey. with the fun comes heartbreak, pain, disappointment, and confusion. by the time you reach your 30's you think it'll be easier, that you'll either already have it figured out or are well on your way to cracking the code. but is the code even crackable?

this podcast episode is the first date of what will be the greatest love story ever written (don't ruin the moment but asking questions - just roll with it). in this episode i talk about what the 'cast will be about, what topics i'll be covering, a little background about myself, and answering some questions i've been receiving lately. also included are my new social media accounts information and where you can listen to the 'cast and contact me. before we can get to marriage and baby carriage, we have to get through this.
