As a Cuban-American journalist and podcast host, Gabriela Ulloa is all about covering topics from Latinx culture and mental health to beauty, style, identity, personal development, and mental health. Through her work, she’s dedicated her storytelling to highlighting stigmatized topics, particularly within marginalized communities. Mostly, she works to normalize talking about feelings on the internet. 

If you’re looking for a chill, down-to-earth conversation about mental health then this episode is the one for you. What I love about this conversation is that we centered the conversation around this idea of “being broken” as we debunk why that’s actually not true as we share stories about our own lives to dispel that myth. This episode is an invitation to look at all facets of your mental health in a way where you feel like you’re chatting with a couple of friends sipping a cup of tea. 

We also talk about:

• Her relationship with mental health
• The stereotypes she’s dealt with in her own mental health journey
• The emphasis on work for immigrant kids and how it impacts our inner child
• The integration of culture and mental health
• How our partners can be mirrors of our deeper work
• Removing the identity of achievement
• The lessons she’s learned from breakups about standing in her power
• Are you lying to yourself?
• Allowing yourself to grieve different identities as you grow

All of us can recall a moment along this journey of life where we’ve received a piece of relationship advice that made us go “huh”? Me included. In an age of constant information, we have access to so many different ways of thinking and perspectives related to relationships, but there’s still so much information out there that clings to a narrative that no longer works in today’s dating world. 

While I’ve been in multiple long-term relationships and have navigated my own dating life, I’ve come to realize that a lot of the relationship advice we’re given is rooted in fear. So in today’s solo episode, I’m sharing those pieces of advice that I’ve received and flipping them on their head to reveal a different way to cultivate loving, healthy relationships. 

We also talk about:

• Why the world is fascinated with relationships
• Putting effort into connecting with people
• Things you’re unintentionally doing that make you seem unavailable
• The difference between losing yourself and letting parts of you go
• The role of self-love in relationships

As the Vice President of Health Strategy at the American Heart Association and a public health professional, Dr. Angelica Hardee (aka Dr. JB) is focused on addressing the top health priorities of the Greater Cincinnati/NKY region by leading work related to hypertension, e-cigarette/tobacco use, and healthy food access. More specifically, she engages with community organizations and neighborhood coalitions to identify their health & wellness priorities.

As a friend of fifteen years and one of the most dedicated people I know to create equitable wellness for all, I always have fun catching up with her. What I love about this conversation is that we touch on many different facets of public health that we don’t talk about within the larger wellness space and how it impacts our communities. This episode is an invitation to care for your community in a deeper way while understanding the systemic issues we continue to face domestically. 

We also talk about:

• A fun memory from high school
• How the global pandemic impacted the public health space
• The interconnectedness of government systems and health
• How we can make an impact on the health of our communities
• One of the biggest health issues that we’re facing with the youth
• A behind-the-scenes look at Wellness public policies

If you’re like me, you’ve gone through many experiences in your life where you’ve felt this need to shift into a new identity (ie. welcome to my teen years where I wanted to be a new person all of the time). But while it can be liberating to step into a new version of yourself, there’s also an opportunity for fear to slowly creep in too and that fear could stop you from said evolution. 

While my needing to shed a few aspects of my identity is showing up more often in my 30’s and Saturn return, I’ve started to wrap my head around the pieces we often forget within this process. So in today’s solo episode, I’m sharing what I’ve been working with as I enter into different identities and shift my thought process into one that supports my overall growth.

We also talk about:

• Personal updates: moving, social media, business stuff
• Dating, not marrying my opinions
• Making moves with my bodily instinct
• Loving the process
• What a real growth mindset is in today’s world

Listen, I’ve made many (and I mean many) mistakes when it comes to my own wellness journey. Signing up for random fitness classes (check), buying all of the organic food (check), consuming all of the books or podcasts (check), and even doing all of the trendy things I can find on social media (check). But most of that didn’t actually work. Truthfully, I spent a lot of time and money trying to make a lot of that stuff work. 

People say, “failing to plan is a plan to fail,” but I made the plan and stuck to it with little success. So in today’s solo episode, I’m sharing some of the biggest mistakes I made when I first started my wellness journey and how I’ve worked with them to fit my lifestyle now. 

We also talk about:

• The self-development trap
• Setting better goals and intentions
• Why getting into a routine can actually hinder your ability to hit your goals
• Cultivating community
• Buying into wellness “trends”
• Giving yourself permission to mess up

As an Embodied Business Coach, EFT Practitioner, Podcaster, and Recovering Procrastinator, Pam Covarrubias’s passions are elevating women and small businesses by helping them grow their revenues, dismantling limiting beliefs, and aligning their business with their intuition and energy seasons. More specifically, she dreams of co-creating a future where work works for everyone without glorifying productivity. Pam's approach is a dance between practical success strategy and intuitive personal discovery that helps you stay true to your unique story as you accomplish big things.

As Pam is the homie (and a fellow Scorpio placement), I wanted to get deep with her on what it means to navigate the human experience. What I love about this conversation is that it all ties into the idea of us wanting to be seen as human beings and what that can look like for us in our day-to-day and business lives. This episode is an invitation to not have everything figured out, but know that trying is just as important. 

We also talk about:

• Why balance is bullshit
• Why the idea of being balanced can lead to shame
• Why emotions can get trapped in the body
• How she makes choices to align with her inner compass
• The difference between what shadow work is versus what we see online
• Her fear of being seen and unlearning that through her healing practices
• What our businesses can teach us about yourselves as entrepreneurs
• How and why to follow your jealousy
• Feeling safe within your existence

While we talk mostly about budgeting through using apps, spreadsheets, etc, we don’t talk a lot about the conscious part of spending our money. Similarly, we hear messages about saving our money - which is fine. But what if we changed the narrative to look forward in how we choose to spend our money versus looking back and looking at what we purchased through our spending and saving?

In this solo episode, I’m talking about all things conscious spending. My goal with this episode is to empower you with a few things I’ve done to cultivate positive spending habits, not banning yourself from spending altogether. This episode is an invitation to align yourself with how you want to spend your hard-earned coins. 

We also talk about:

• My history with random spending and shifting to be more conscious of my purchases
• The emotional complex of spending
• Using what we already have
• Setting a budget
• Creating wish lists
• Reassessing our values alongside our purchases
• De-cluttering is key

As a wellness and career transition coach, Wafa Oubella’s passion is helping high-performing corporate folks overcome exhaustion, prevent burnout, build more fulfilling careers and live healthier lives. From her experience, she deeply understands the challenges associated with working as a millennial in fast-paced industries and the fear associated with changing career paths. Let’s be real: making change is hard af. 

I loved this discussion with Wafa as I’ve openly shared about my own wellness journey at the intersection of trying to figure out my career and identity within my jobs. While a lot of us think that corporate wellness is about getting free lunches or more happy hours, this discussion is centered around the importance of true wellness when it comes to working. Whether you’re looking to stay in corporate or leave to find your own path, this is an invitation for you to do wellness differently in your career. 

We also talk about:

• Listening to the signs from the Universe
• Shifting from unconscious decision making to the conscious
• Releasing the distractions in our lives and our work
• Deciding to do things differently 
• Gender roles and the workplace
• What workplace wellness actually is versus what it’s been presented as
• A 3 step plan to regulate your emotions at work

As a solo polyamorous, queer pansexual, and owner of Marjani Lane, Ebony Hagans is big on sexual agency, autonomy over our love styles, and wants us to experience our freedom and be comfortable while doing it. Through her work with Marjani Lane, she’s focused on the education of ethical non-monogamy & alternative love styles while emphasizing Black representation. 

I’m HYPE about this conversation with Ebony as I’ve been deep into my own exploration of different love styles and relationship structures. While a lot of us shun the idea of anything different than monogamy, this discussion is about expanding our minds to what’s possible within the way we relate to each other. This isn’t a campaign for you to quit monogamy, but it’s an invitation to uplevel how each of us shows up in our relationships moving forward.

We also talk about:

• Her relationship with love
• The role of control and codependency in today’s relationships
• The intersection of race, religion, and sexuality in love styles
• Unlearning lessons about ourselves and our relationships
• Remembering that our self-value belongs to us
• The different forms of non-monogamy
• The 1 question to ask yourself if you’re thinking about being non-monogamous 
• Moving through jealousy
