Sweat responsibly. This week we've got two hot tickets from NYC on the line and we're so excited! The ultimate #girlcrushes Elizabeth and Dale chat about leaving their full-time jobs to fully commit to their joint business venture…an Instagram account (and now, LLC!) by the name of Sweats And The City. "Sweats" as they fondly refer to it — has caught on for their candid and honest reviews of boutique fitness studios and instructors in New York City.

-Why their feed is now including more about their personal lives and why getting vulnerable has benefitted them in the long run

-How they built their business from scratch and quit their full time jobs to do Sweats + The City full time…with almost no safety net

Don't forget to follow us on Instagram to stay up to date with all Coming In Hot news!

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to bring you one of the most powerful guests we've spoken with yet. This one is a game changer, everyone. Get ready. April 15th, 2013 was arguably one of the worst days, if not the worst day, in Boston after the horrific Marathon bombing attack. Roseann Sdoia Materia's life was forever changed that day as she was feet from the second bomb on Boylston Street and has since lost her right leg. Her entire life since has revolved around recovery and healing — but something more came out of this terrible tragedy. Today, as a Boston Marathon Bombing Survivor and amputee, Roseann is making great strides in changing the lives of others. As one of the top motivational speakers, Roseann combines her powerful, personal story of perseverance with her professional corporate background and offers lessons learned throughout her challenging comeback journey as insightful, motivational tools that everyone can use to discover their own unstoppable strength. She has since penned a book about her experience with her "guardian angels" entitled "Perfect Strangers: Friendship, Strength and Recover After Boston's Worst Day." Roseann's mantra that "life is only as positive as you make it," serves as the foundation for redefining one's own mindset in achieving every personal and professional goal, and ultimately living a happier, richer and more fulfilling life.

In this episode, we dive into…

- Roseann's chilling and jaw-dropping account of what happened on April 15th, 2013

- Why Roseann feels that she has guardian angels

- The recovery process since becoming an amputee at age 45 and how her entire life has shifted

- The background of the hero that changed her life in multiple ways and continues to today

- Roseann's mindset and how she utilizes her personal strategies to help other amputees cope with recovery and change

- The charities and resources she works with now after they helped her through her recovery process

- Information on how you can get involved with her latest charity partnership and attend this years NEAD's Gala in Boston, MA — and meet Roseann!

…and so much more.
