Hello! I am so excited you're here and to share this episode with my good friend, former roommate of six years, and actor and creator, Melanie Johnson. In this episode, we discuss moving to LA right out of college and meeting each other the day we moved into our apartment, navigating your 20s in a new place, and growing and sustaining an acting and writing career over time. We also share a healthy dose of hilarious tidbits of early Hollywood adventure Mel and Marg, and can't stop bringing of Dax Shepard and The Armchair Expert. ANYWAY, I know this episode will make you think and make you smile, and I hope you love it! I also share some of my current health, fitness, and spiritual faves in the intro.

Today we have my friend and fellow dancer and choreographer, self described as Divine Feminine Filipina Realness (doesn't get much better than that), and founder and artistic director of Ancestral Vision Movement, Ally Vega. I have known Ally since the beginning of my LA journey and we met in Gigi Torres' (last episode!) program! Ally has always been unapologetically herself and it's something I have always been inspired by in her. In the last few years she has really stepped into her power and has put herself out there vulnerably through her art, and it was incredible to catch up and put the entire story together for you to hear. This is one of self discovery and self empowerment, and I know it will light a fire in you to create this for yourself. I hope you love it! Click the links below to connect with Ally or myself :)

Today I am bringing you a conversation with one of my very first mentors in Los Angeles, Gigi Torres. Gigi is a choreographer, educator, community builder, and business woman to be admired. Gigi so vulnerably and generously shares in this episode what she has learned over the years navigating the dance world in how she nurtures herself, her students, her creativity, and her business. This episode is jam packed with so many valuable takeaways filled with honesty, heart, and authenticity. I can't wait for you to listen, and if you're interested in connecting with Gigi or myself, please click the links below!

In today's episode, I sit down virtually (thank you, Skype) with one of my longtime great friends, Demi Passaris, who is a leader in the hair and beauty industry and an absolute inspiration. Demi and I met in high school where she began her journey attending cosmetology school and entering the workforce educated and ready to roll while most of us were scampering off to college, afraid and unsure of the major we were forced to decide upon and what was next for us. I look up to Demi because she was very clear on her vision from a young age and her success has skyrocketed in the last ten years because of it. She is dedicated, perseverant, and incredibly talented.

She shares so many valuable learning points in this episode that can be applied across all industries, and really leans into how being mindful of every detail of a client experience sets you apart from the pack. Her story shows us what patience, trust in the process, and being all in can do for your evolution. I know you're going to love this one!

I mention this in the intro, but I just want to point out that the audio quality is slightly lower than usual because this was a remote interview, and it can be tough to make them sound sharp. Remember, this is all a learning process for me and I am a one woman show here doing my best to produce a great podcast, so I thank you for your understanding and patience as I continue to evolve in these areas!

You guys I am so thrilled to bring you today's guest, one of my best friends, dancer, model, actress, yoga therapist, and neuroscientist, Casey Mauro! In this episode Casey brings together seemingly unrelated fields of study, topics, and concepts into a truly holistic perspective on health and healing. In the first half of the episode, Casey shares her story on growing up in Jersey, hustling in the entertainment industry in NYC starting in her teen years, navigating multiple career interests and changes, and how an injury ended up sparking an interest in the brain, healing naturally, and working with mind, body, and spirit to create health and ultimately engage with life in the most authentic and magical way possible. We then go into how science and spirituality intersect and how to work with the quantum field to create and connect in life. This is a conversation on how to work with the whole of who we are to become more and more centered with our true selves. We could have talked FOREVER, but I believe this episode is absolutely filled to the brim with takeaways, I hope you love it!

As an introverted HSP myself, it's taken time for me to fully understand this aspect of myself and own it. I've learned how to work with in instead of against it. I wanted to share this as a guide for those of you struggling with being effective in the world if you share these qualities, and for those of you wanting to care for your HSP loved ones as well. I hope you love this episode and please rate, review, subscribe, and share! Would love to hear your thoughts on IG @TheHarmonyExperiment or at TheHarmonyExperiment.com

Hi my friends. It's been a while since an episode has been published and a while since I've done a solo episode, but I found this to be very important and wanted to share. In the wake of the loss of my sweet pup Bruno, while it is fresh I am inspired to talk about something none of us want to talk about-death. I know for the longest time I was so afraid of death and anything to do with it because I didn't understand it. None of us fully do. I've experienced a fair amount of loss in my life, but the most life changing were the loss of my dad at 21 and now the loss of my cherished furry companion. I'm here to talk about my experiences in hopes that it can help all of us heal and make peace with the inevitable. I have found that witnessing death, moving through loss, and talking about it gave it less power over me. Understanding the temporary nature of everything gives it value, gives our dreams urgency, and makes us grateful. If you have or are experiencing deep grief, I hope this episode brings something, anything that can help. I love you and please get in touch on IG or at TheHarmonyExperiment.com to chat more <3

This episode is jam packed with aha moments that you won't want to forget, so get your notebooks out and absorb all of this good-ness!

I am SO excited to bring you this conversation with my friend, long time fitness instructor, and the Fitness Director of Set and Flow Yoga, Jordyn Casey. At just 24 years old Jordyn has become an incredibly diverse and dynamic fitness instructor teaching bootcamp, pilates, yoga, HITT, boxing, and cycle and now becoming a leader as the Fitness Director of the incredible Set and Flow Yoga right in the center of Hollywood. We discuss her journey of moving to LA from Nevada at 18 to pursue the entertainment industry, to how falling in love with yoga lead her down an unexpected yet incredibly rewarding path and career in fitness. I am honored to share Jordyn with you and if you are local to LA, definitely take advantage of Set and Flow's complimentary intro week of classes and see why I fell in love with this studio and all their instructors 3 years ago.
