  • Just Do It...And No Not Nike...Tatiana Lampa Style!

    Fitness has become a must have after the year we all had in 2020, however some of us may have gotten lost along the way or mislead by some other apps that just didn't do it for us.  After connecting with Tatiana Lampa on the socials, I soon learned there is a way and when I say way, I mean proper way to not just work out, but also understand the body and correctively use it.

    So join us both today on the podcast and HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY as well, as we get to know more about Tatiana Lampa and her fitness app that you can download right NOW!

    Follow her for all greatness on Instagram @Training_With_T

  • 86: Hit The Pause Button Now w/ Sadie!

    Sadie takes over the podcast today with something that we all truly need to do (currently doing that now, thank you Sadie) and that is to just hit the pause button.  Take a day, a few days, or whatever you need to relax, unwind, and regenerate to truly 4.0 your life.  We are so used to that go go mentality and sure it feels great to always be on the move doing exciting things, but what happens when you eventually feel that constant rush and never just...pause.

    Tune in today and every 1st Sunday of the month with Sadie (@sadiesaysitall) with true words of wisdom and be sure to check her out on her YouTube Channel + reality show - Learn How To Marry Me!

  • 85: Everything Is Political, Even Your Eye Color!

    Lets Get Political, Political.  I really don't want to get Political... (did you think about the song Lets Get Physical?)

    I mean I did...but that is what today is all about as we venture almost into another month and still finding our ways into the political darkness of social media.  Me, not getting too into it because well, personal beliefs are important, but not in the way that some of us are doing lately.  So join me today on the podcast for another great episode and yeah...every Sunday a new one just for you!

  • 84: What If It Actually Worked?!?

    One day I woke up and started a blog.  I also started singing at open mic nights, large crowd events, and even at 5'4, modeling.  No one handed me anything with regards to these opportunities, I just figured I wanted to 4.0 my life to the fullest and never look back.  So what if I never tried?  What if I just gave up and said it was too hard?  What if it actually worked?

    Look all around us today with numerous mom and pops rebranding and growing themselves again after a year of what seemed like pure darkness.  It is possible and it is doable, you just have to be the one to take that what if and say, what if I try.

  • 82: If You Spill The Tea, Clean It Up! Oh, and my name is still DEAN (ONE N) A!

    So you want to remove the toxic folk from your life, but you still want to spill the tea?!?  Sorry friends, but that is not how it works, or at least clean up your spillage after you are done.  We want all these new happy and toxic free relationships, yet some of us are still the ones doing the spilling and clearly you are making the mess on your own white satin pants dear.  Not sure if you own white satin pants, but I do know how badly that would be to spill tea on it.  

    Any who, let's chat today about this and how my name is STILL getting changed by the day... ONE N PEOPLE...JUST ONE AND ALL YOU DO IS SAY DEAN (think Dean of College) and add an A!!!!

    Disclaimer: I do not need a chill pill and it is not the pregnancy, it has been something I have dealt with all my life and just hoping that people catch on...one day.

  • 81: I Want To Be a Duchess, Simply The Best Netflix Binging and oh yeah, Happy 2021!

    Royal affairs, courting, and the oh so wonderful gentleman caller are what Bridgeton has brought to me.  Yes, it truly is the ode to Gossip Girl set back in time and I LOVED IT!!!  Now do I love the advances we have today, heck yeah!  However the simple fact that one gets to know one another with a simple glance, tea date, and sign of a card...sign me up!  Well, don't sign me up because I am married, but you know what I mean.

    Any who, welcome 2021, more Netflix greats, and another week ahead with the podcast.  Next week join me with Sadie and upcoming guests coming your way in this great new year (fingers crossed).

  • 79: Salivating Over Chocolate Covered Oreos + Getting Reflective.

    I skipped my normal latte and toast for a plethora of chocolate that was gifted to my husband...but chocolate plethora of everything is my jam and he's not mad about it.  My hips will be later, however enjoy the foods you want and let us get into today's episode, shall we.

    I wanted to be reflective as the year of 2020 ends and remind myself that sometimes the struggle is the part we forget to acknowledge because it truly is just that, a struggle.  The struggle is actually the mini goals we made and speaks a lot to my episode from last week.  We come into this world in the dark, leave this world in the dark, so LIVE in the darn light.  Create a platform for yourself to stand strong on and enjoy everything your past and future self will do.

    Whew...preaching is hard, but hey 4.0ing life right?!?  So with that being said, enjoy this beautiful day whatever you are doing and go eat some chocolate, smile more, and remember to find your light...mine right now is a hot latte with another chocolate covered oreo.

    Any who, lets do this week and get closer and closer to 2021!

Back in 2019, I started this podcast because moms don’t get enough off-duty time. I’m a mama, a case manager and this is where the hats come off and we say the quiet part out loud. Off Duty starts…
