      • Giving yourself space
      • Her time in recovery and how she handles flashbacks

      • Her everyday practices, and morning and evening rituals
      • Asking for what you're worth
      • Shutting up in rehab

            Have you ever considered using gratitude as a tool? As a practice, yes, but taking it further– what if we could use gratitude as a tool that can further our work, catapult global impact, and manifest real-world results?


            That's exactly what we discuss today with Erwin B. Valencia, the "Godfather of Gratitude." Erwin is a Wellness and Performance Expert who works with the NBA, a Gratitude Coach, and founder of the "Gratitude Gang," and of a movement designed to inspire one million Filipinos in the next 5 years through gratitude, service, and education. He is currently working on his PhD in Gratitude.

            Erwin has an impactful message about using the power of gratitude to change life in both large ways and small, daily ways. We delve into his own practices and how he developed them and what has manifested in his life as a result:

            • How to go as big as possible through the practice of gratitude
            • How he manifested his dream job
            • Gratitude as an ART and a SCIENCE
            • His journey from Manila to Madison Square Garden
            • The importance of showing up fully for yourself and your community
            • What specifically he does regularly
            • The role that "wearing your mission" can play in life
            • Gratitude practices to cultivate your highest version 
            • How to find your big vision and sustain it through gratitude practices

                Nurse Sarah Jeffries, RN, MSN, Nurse Educator and former ER Nurse, joins to talk about sleep health, brain health, and hacks for longevity and a better, more alive existence! She also has three young children and a husband, Tony Jeffries, who was an undefeated bronze medalist and professional boxer. So Sarah is exceptionally well-rounded in her study of sleep and brain health, and she shares her own journey to feeling more alive after pushing herself and breaking down, and how she worked to help herself. This week:

                • Her personal journey of health after panic attacks
                • The dangers of taking melatonin
                • How our brain processes light

                  • 96 - Suzanna Elzbieta, Sensual Guide + Herpes Advocate, on How to Get Past Stigma + Love Yourself More

                    OOH Am I excited for this one! 

                    This week we welcome Suzanna Elżbieta, Sensual Guide + Herpes Advocate. And might I add... a total babe and a bad b*tch. It's an epic conversation about stigma, life, acceptance, grace, and yes, herpes. If you think you aren't affected by herpes, you might listen to this and be surprised, as most people (estimates stand around 90%) have it in some capacity. I do, and I have for 30 years now, and I align with Suzanna in my view that we can break stigmas when we talk about it. It was so interesting to have this discussion from our different but similar perspectives.  

                    I found her on her very popular TikTok (@suzbub) and I am so thrilled to share this conversation with you. She is a guide not only for sensuality, but for helping people who struggle with herpes. We cover: 

                    •  How she opened up about her HSV2 diagnosis in her 30s
                    • How many people estimated actually have HSV1 and/or HSV2 
                    • "Should" you tell people when you have it, or expect someone to?
                    • How we can discuss and break stigmas
                    • What opening up to truth has brought to her life
                    • What the backlash online is like and how she deals with it
                    • Her practices for sensuality
                    • What paying more attention to dress and fashion can bring to our life
                    • Dating with HSV2 and how she handles that (and how I did, too)
                    • Suicide, mental health, and herpes stigma  
                    • And SO MUCH MORE. This woman is putting valuable content out there and truly helping others, and I am beyond excited about this one! THANK YOU for being here!
