Heart Take Podcast

As simple as it is put: would you marry you? We have all engaged in numerous conversations about people we would or would not marry, along with our own thoughts on the concept/institution of marriage...but symbolically, would you marry you? Tune in this week on Heart Take, where Caroline and Savant discuss personal quirks, development, and the thought of marrying someone who might be identical in an existential fashion.

What is the balance between selfish and self-ish? What are the boundaries that we must set in regard to prioritizing self-care, while also not being 'selfish' or 'self-centered?' What is the difference? Tune in this week on Heart Take, where Caroline and Savant discuss personal boundaries and 'selfish vs self-ish' behaviors with Tobruk Blaine! Tobruk is currently the Assistant Athletic Director for College Athlete Development at San Jose State University. Tobruk, the creator of the Beyond Football and eventual Beyond Sparta program at SJSU, is a mother of two wonderful girls, a sport professional, a friend, a wife, a daughter, and so much more. How exactly does one person keep all of those responsibilities in sync while also taking time to refill their own cup, you might ask? Tune in to find out!

Oftentimes, we are conditioned to 'think a certain way' and more times than not, that way of thought is usually based in a duality of 'right' or 'wrong;' left or right; up or down; yes or no.
