We spoke about mental health, the struggles and blessings of being a single mom, finding time to train while also working a full time job as well as making sure she gives her two beautiful daughters the love and attention they require and deserve. We also discussed her kettlebell journey, collaborations, h...

Whenever I attempted to force myself to drop weekly episodes consistently, I noticed the quality of the content was lacking. I also noticed I wasn't really enjoying my time with the mic. I felt a sense of anxiousness when I wasn't being consistent (because of life reasons). So much to the the point where one week without content led to weeks, months and eventually almost a whole year without content. Little did I know, I ne...

So many of us consume things that don't add or bring any value or joy to our lives. But what about the things or the people that bring you value? What about that hobby? Or your overall lifestyle? If it adds value to your life and it isn't a hindrance in any way, then why stop? Why quit? Why punish yourself?

Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles for making it to the Super Bowl for the second time in three years. I'm excited about it but not too invested. Over the years I've opened my eyes to the lies and the bullshit that we are fed day in and day out. The creation of sport as a form of entertainment and distraction being one of them. I went down a few rabbit holes and the Roman Circus Theory was one of them. Give them foo...

Whenever we seek change or growth, we tend to look outside of ourselves. But true growth has to come from within. The inner changes will bring forth outer change and an overall better life. We also go into the new year making resolutions that most of us never stick to. Resolutions add stress, anxiety and overwhelm. Forget the resolutions. Reflect on the previous year. Make the necessary changes for a better you. There's no rush...

I had the extreme honor of sitting down with FUNctional Movement coach Francheska Martinez. Francheska is a beautiful soul inside and out. She is an absolute beast in the world of movement and animal flow. She doesn't just teach her clients and followers how to move.

Those who know me know how much I enjoy running. For me, running is the ultimate stress reliever. Whenever I feel overwhelmed, anxious or depressed, I go for a run. Of course one of the greatest benefits of running is it is the perfect stress reliever. There are many other benefits of running such as it builds cardiovascular endurance, strong lungs and a strong heart. Running also builds strength in the joints and throughout the bo...

Technology. Cell phones. Social Media. Zombie Scrolling. Television. Streaming Platforms. Binging. Entertainment. Addictions. Pleasures. Distraction. We don't use our brains like we used to. Or at all. We are distracted. We're chasing pleasures. We are not aware. We are asleep. We are easy targets. Through distractions, we are being kept from channeling a deeper part of ourselves. Our focus is being taken away from our pass...

We are energy. We are electric. Positive energy will give us a boost in mood. Negative energy will drain us. So many of us are living life out of balance and out of sync with our inner Chi (Qi). We are disconnected from our spirit. We have imbalances that disrupt our quality of life. We're not looking inside ourselves to fix the issues. There's too many outer distractions. We are moving too fast. There are many types of ene...

Not many of us know this, but we are energy. So many of us are disconnected and out of balance with our energy. How can we put ourselves back in alignment with ourselves, the universe, and everyone and everything around us. We can start by understanding the 7 chakras. By studying, understanding, and knowing how to work with the 7 chakras from the root chakra to the crown chakra, we can live a life of fulfillment, happiness, awarene...
