Wow hey, mid-March already! For this week's episode, Edeliz talks with filmmaker Chinwe Okorie about what it's like to carve a path for yourself in an industry that is constantly testing you.

We are all beautiful artisan mugs that need to be filled with only the best, french pressed premium coffee - but right now, we're drinking Keurig coffee and we're not feeling 100. In today's episode, Edeliz speaks with Yamyo Monie from "Rooted with Yams" to talk about what it means to fill your cup, take stock of what you're consuming, and adjust accordingly in order to feel great every sip.

The tweet that started it all. Alyssa Saenz is back on the podcast to discuss a tweet of hers that got some traction. "I don't want to see your weight loss pictures" opened up a dialogue for some and caused a negative response with others. In this episode, we discuss why we believe happy=skinny and fat = sad, why strangers on the internet feel the need to control the opinions of fat people, and how the way we feel  about our own body is often negatively projected onto the bodies of others.

What does that little voice inside of you say? Is it loud enough to be heard?  We can get so caught up trusting and believing everyone but ourselves that by the time it comes for us to make adult decisions, we freeze with fear. Today's smol episode is about learning how we can take steps to drown out every single voice that isn't ours
