SPECIAL SURPRISE DROP!

We are half way through 2021 and halfway through this series, listen to why I started this podcast and why this series is so special to me. Thank you for your support! 

Just Know Though Podcast provides an open space to discuss mental health, some episodes contains depression and past trauma which are not to draw attention to the guest, but rather express the painful thoughts that one may experience. To highlight the tremendous journey, and potential power one possesses to overcome battles. To encourage support and grace because it is more common than we think. If you or someone you know needs assistance, please text or call the numbers below. Most importantly reach out to them and let them know they matter and that you care and then listen.

Just know though, fight fear with action. 

So happy for this collab, if you liked E2, you're going to feel this one! 

If you’re in the season of grinding, don’t lose confidence. Don’t let fear paralyze you, you’re meant to succeed. We're delivering this message, so take a listen on your drive to work or while you're cleaning, because there are some gems in this episode.

Halfway through this series, Brandon reminds us of the spirit of determination sharing his humbling and inspiring story defeating seeds of unbelief. He sheds light on the power of fighting fear with action and nourishing the journey with a healthy state of mind. 

There is wisdom to be found in failure, its going to be a hard journey so have grace, and when you find it, you’ll find peace in the grind. Don't worry about others taking the elevator, for there is wisdom to be found while you're taking the stairs. Fight seeds of unbelief with hope, action, and preparation. Thank you for listening! 

When I started, my vision and my promise to myself for this project was to deliver intentional content. Intentional content to lift others up, in a social media, technology driven world, that feeds comparison, feeds competition, feeds distractions, feeds loneliness, even malice and judgment. I'm fulfilling this promise. Thank you to each one of my guests thus far for grinding with me on this project.

Kickin off this Grinding & Confidence series is my amiga, my dear friend Jackie! & it just so happens its a bonus that I'm partnering w/ another Salinas podcast host! s/o to 831 Comadres!

The truth is - for most confidence is a journey. For some, the journey starts with us being tested, tested spiritually, mentally, emotionally. When life hits, when life just isn't going as planned. If you're in this season of life, this episode may be for you. Because if we’re lucky, resilient, and patient, if we keep pushing on the journey we find ourselves and lift our spirits from the darkest of places. Jackie’s inspiring journey has taken place over the course of two years. Its truly humbling for me! Jackie shares her story overcoming her personal battles, letting go of friends, finding her purpose and becoming strong and confident. She reminds us, that positivity, manifesting and believing in yourself will change your life for the better.

Just know though, listen to your heart.

What a way to close out this five-episode series!

Our guest Karla reminds us that following our heart means accepting that other things around us can and will change but if it's meant to be, it will all fit. When we are honest with ourselves, when we are willing to ask ourselves what is truly in our hearts, we open ourselves up to possibility. Possibility to fulfill our hearts. Trust me when I say, we were vibing this session, Karla experiences are so relatable. If there is anything to takeaway this episode is to not settle for less and to forget the timeline and pressures that society, our families or even ourselves create because life is unpredictable.

I couldn't have asked for a better closing of this love & sacrifices series and segue into our next series! Thank you so much for listening to this series. I hope and pray for your hearts to be fulfilled.

What an honor to have this beautiful soul with a contagious laugh on this episode!

Our special guest Ariel, is the reminder I think we all need - to persevere and to stay true to ourselves when life hits us hard, when life doesn't let up and during those times you can still look back and learn life lessons,  you can still keep growing, you can flourish. She is an open book, sharing snippets of her life and inspiring chapters if you're willing to listen.  Ariel talks about having divorced parents, the hardships of being a teen mom,  losing her mom while getting her college degree and being a  mommy of 5, soon to be 6! Ariel emphasizes that life isn't easy but what is most important is to be kind to not only to others but to yourself and that love is sacrifice and it can be painful. The only way out is through, because when life happens we always need to fight and help others during their fight too.

Just know though, its triple the love.

Riding Mother’s Day spirit this episode!

Ashley shows us that single mom’s are just built different. Being a mom is hard but being a “single” mom brings a whole new meaning to motherhood. A level of emotional strength because you are making decisions and coming up with creative solutions on your own. This episode is about defeating the odds, overcoming stigmas and the power of prayer.  There is so much power in letting go, and when you do that, you make room for something more meaningful. Triple the love in Ashley's case. Its triple the work, triple the stress and triple the tears but also triple the hugs, triple the love and triple the pride. This episode gave me life, and I'm so excited for you guys to listen!

Just know though, there is nothing like a mother's love.

Our first guest of the series, and its a banger! A must listen for Mother’s day. Our guest Lucero shares relationship advice and serves us mom wisdom, it is a beautiful heartfelt episode. She reminds us to be steadfast, resilience yet flexible, intentional yet selfless in true mom energy fashion. Emphasizing that creating boundaries, prioritizing ones self, and sacrifices are the true meaning of love. Key takeaways are to take it day by day and ultimately, that bad times and struggles will ALWAYS subside. Time and time again, I’m so moved. I’m so touched and honored to have these convos and showcase inspirational individuals. My co-host Alex and I felt this one. We hope you do too. #momlife #literalmomgoals

Just know though, love and sacrifices costs.

Some say compromise is the foundation of a relationship. Others say throw compromise out the window and selflessly sacrifice. What do you think?

Kickin off our second series is Alex! I know we’ve all done selfless things for love, maybe even stupid things for love. This includes compromising on a daily basis, BUT have you found yourself sacrificing for the greater good, for love, for someone else's happiness?  If one partner is constantly abandoning his or her dreams to satisfy the needs of their partner, it is not a compromise but a sacrifice.

We dive deep into defining the meaning of love and differentiating compromise vs. sacrifice by discussing love languages, self-worth and communication through different relationship perspectives.  We are setting the theme for the series, if you're in that season of love and sacrifices take a listen!

Just know though, love is powerful & time is precious.
 
Life grows around grief. Most times, the hardest journeys are the ones that leave us profoundly affected and deeply changed. During these journeys the relationships with ourselves evolves unexpectedly, just like life. Through hard times, we often learn to care for ourselves better, to nurture our relationships better. Good self-care is essential to our survival and when we know how to take care of ourselves, we are resilient. It isn't selfish, its necessary. No one knows the internal struggles, and emotional battles that run through our mind endlessly especially during loss, grief, anxiety, depression, etc. Alex shares her journey of losing several people in her life during her 20s. We dive into coping through the grieving process, building support systems, and the importance of nurturing relationships. She is truly inspiring, and I'm honored to share her story.
