Ever said NO to something because you were scared?

That’s exactly what Niki and I are unpacking in our Season Finale episode as we reflect on Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes - and how powerful it can be when we decide to finally say YES.

💬 Join our Book Club Zoom tonight at 7:30 PM

Grab a glass of wine, tea, or coffee and come share your thoughts with us. Expect a fun, honest conversation about Shonda being real and what YES means in our lives right now.

And if you want to take the YES energy off the screen and into real life…

There’s something about Jivika… you feel it the moment she begins to speak. Calm. Centered. Genuine.

This week on Year of Yes, we sit with Jivika Chugani - physiotherapist, certified yoga instructor, devoted wife, proud mother of two daughters, philanthropist, speaker and a Barbadian who has lovingly called Jamaica home for 23 years.

She opens up about building a life of service, raising her girls with intention, balancing career and family, and staying rooted in purpose while pouring into others. Her presence is warm, grounded, and - as you’ll hear - sprinkled with just the right touch of humour.😀

When she shares what she said YES to, you may find yourself reflecting on your own quiet, life-shaping decisions.

Tell us some of your quiet yesss!!

Sometimes a yes changes your address… and your entire perspective 🌴

Today on Year of Yes, we sit with Becky - straight out of Chicago - now proudly living her best Jamaican life with her family - as she shares her Routes to Remember: the places she’s explored, the people who have stayed with her, and the feelings Jamaica stirred in her heart along the way.

And wait… the patois quiz at the end? 😂 Let’s just say - Becky is a super star Jamaican!! ⭐️

Tell us…

What are your favourite spots in Jamaica? 🇯🇲✨

What have you said yes to while enjoying our island?🇯🇲✨

Some businesses start with a plan.

Others start with a feeling you cannot ignore.

Three different personalities.

One shared nudge.

They stopped talking about it… and built it.

Today, The Hot Box is more than a business - it is a space people return to for reset, clarity and connection. A place the community did not know it needed until it existed.

This week on What The Fifty, we sit with the founders of @hotboxsauna876 and unpack the yes that started everything.

Whew. This season flew by as quickly as the years and oh, how the years flew. Our boys are now men, or on their way becoming, and it's funny how letting go feels like ... loss. Not that bone deep, gut searing loss, but that dull throb that kinda follows you around, reminding you that somehow, everything just feels... less.

But we're pushing through and we're sharing techniques that we have employed to turn that feeling into something more positive... one of new connections, new adventures and a new type of relationship with our little loves.

Thanks for riding along this season and thanks for listening to us explore our strange, unfamiliar yet exciting (new normal) nest.

If you've missed any of the episodes, catch up! It's worth your while.

Trust us 😉

This episode may be our most vulnerable and real yet. Ugh we know we have made mistakes (you know the ones that keep playing over in your mind) but we are committed to learn from them. In this episode We're exploring the dangerous territory of "What ifs" and we're asking some soul searching questions like... "Is it something that I did as a parent that is causing the struggle? “

It’s real!

Our advice? Don't be too hard on yourself, be honest and make the adjustments even if they are grown! Never too late to fix! 🙏

'Cause the truth is, none of us knows what we're doing 😆 We're all winging it, depending on each other and wondering constantly if we did ENOUGH.

Let's talk about it. Tune in today and chime in under the comments. We'd love to hear from you!

Now would you look at that! Our boys have grown and flown but still took the time to sit with us and talk about how we communicate with them, now that they are adults. Adults.  Wow. It's pretty wild just thinking our boys have now turned men.

Before we get sappy in these captions, we're talking everything from the misses we've had, like posting unflattering photos of them, (but we always think they look good)to the wins we've had, like making the transition from parent-child to friends just a little intentional (well we think we are friends now!)

Come sit with us, listen to the wisdom pouring from these littles ( Lawks we proud). Yes, you will always be little to us @maxmurphy and @jpxwillo, but in this conversation, and in so many moments, your big peopleness, level-headedness and self-assurance blows us away.
