Label Free: ”To live your best life, live label free.”

What's Good Babes.

Today I recorded an episode with my family reading today's devotional from: Jesus Always by Sarah Young and read the scriptures that accompanied it in the bible (Isaiah 42:7, Psalm 119:105, & Hebrews 4:12). 

It is an unprecedented time in our country and our world. I choose to stay strong in my faith and fill my days with positive words. I know that not everyone is navigating their way thru these uncertain times as well as I am. I start my day with these affirmations, even before this crisis. 

I felt that this would be good to put out there for my listeners to hear and hopefully renew their faith (whatever it may be) and their strength. 

I invite you to join me on our live recordings if you would like.

What's Good Babes, 

It has been a min since I released a new episode. I have had 2 ready to go but I have been a bit consumed with what's happening in the world around us.  In this episode I sat down with a remarkable special needs Dad that speaks about his journey having to deal with the complexities of what comes with that responsibility. 

What I learned from John Felageller is that there are many resources available, It is important to rely on the community that encompasses dealing with special needs, as well as being a special needs parent should really teach you compassion. Those were my takeaways. 

John has a blog and offers many resources for individuals/families struggling with having a special needs child.  Here are all the links to contact John and additional sources:

I want to share an  episode I  recorded with  a good friend Serg Contreras. We talked very openly about his orientation. He is such a beautiful person with a beautiful heart. I wanted to sit down  and talk with him about his personal  journey, which is very positive. I think its important to let others know that it is ok to live your most authentic life, by living label free.  

Serg has offered to help anyone that may be struggling with their journey. You are free to message her directly for support thru Facebook at:  https://www.facebook.com/s.contreras05   

As always to live your best life, you must live label free!

I had the pleasure to sit down with Joe Ramos. A man that is paving his own path in business and creativity. To me he is the perfect example of living Label Free. He took himself from the corporate world to manifesting his talents into success. 

He talks about that struggle from living on purpose to paying his bills. He is bringing people together launching meetups in Chicago for creatives a year ago, to being a very talented photographer, to designing his own brand. 

I encourage you to listen to his story and be inspired!

I sat down with Chicago's Catfight Little Lisa. We talked about many different things that ultimately make her "Label Free"! Below is her bio:

Blazing new trails seems to be a way of life for Chicago native, Little Lisa. The youngest of 6 kids, her childhood was full of hand-me-downs, adventure, sports and music. She continues to ride that same wave.

While working full time at her family’s print shop, Lisa managed to become an accomplished mountain bike racer and play bass guitar in several bands.

Grabbing a silver medal at the Mountain Bike World Championships in Australia catapulted Lisa to the Trek factory racing team. She won several national cross country championships and ranked in the top 25 as professional downhiller while racing for Trek. At the height of her fitness and racing career, Lisa came down with an overuse injury that forced her stop competing. She spent the better part of a year, going from doctor to doctor to find answers for her symptoms. No luck, until she came across a fellow mountain biker who had the same issue!

Everything seemed to shift at this point. Lisa quit her family’s business and went to massage therapy school. Soon there after she was introduced to some other local female musicians and formed a band called Catfight. Catfight took over!

Eventually Lisa left Catfight and joined a new emerging band called Dot Dot Dot. They went on to record numerous records, appear on a national TV show and tour full time till their breakup in 2013. Lisa’s persistence lead her to do the bookings and business management for both Catfight and Dot Dot Dot.

2013 was a year of perpetual change. Lisa had 2 major surgeries and experienced an onslaught of autoimmune symptoms that defied diagnosis. This lead Lisa to forage her own healing pathway. Concerned about sustainability, toxins, and ethical treatment of our food resources. Lisa rehabbed her yard into an organic mini-farm to propagate her own vegetable supply, took up DJing and rejoined Catfight.

Today, Lisa continues to seek new adventure in traveling the world, playing bass in Catfight, DJing and continually expanding her “mini-farm”. She rides her bike when she can. Volunteers at a local parrot rescue. And now, she seeks out her own hand-me-downs from thrift stores. Lisa dedicates a lot of time caring for her aging parents. She has become an avid researcher on natural health remedies and loves to teach and inspire others to advocate their own wellness journeys.

As always thank you for your support!

What's Good  Babes,

I had the exclusive interview with Scene-Chicago's DL Banks about his retirement. He is a NFL alumni, businessman, father and so much more. I am lucky to call him my friend. He is a generous, loyal person to his friends and can surely be the life of the party. I had fun talking with this very diverse man. He has definitely lived his life "Label Free".
