EPISODE OVERVIEW: I interview affirmation musician, Toni Jones. During our conversation, we discussed all things affirmation music, how burnout led to the creation of her first album, Affirmations for the Grown Ass Woman, the importance of cultivating self-intimacy and self-care practices for mental wellbeing.
In this episode we talk about:
- How burnout from her wellness business made her begin to question toxic work ethic
- How a month long solo trip to California, a few empty journals and solitude led her to write her first affirmation album, Affirmations for the Grown Ass Woman
- Redefining success for yourself
- What it means to “Woman in Silence”
- Self-intimacy as learning and accepting the duality of yourself -- the good and the not so pretty parts
- How the way we speak to ourselves, as well as the beliefs we hold, impact us
- The importance of therapy and community
- Voice record journaling, private altars, being in nature and much more as wellness tools
ABOUT THE GUEST: Toni Jones is a well-being leader, mental health advocate for women and youth, and affirmation musician. Toni has found creative ways to promote the message of conscious well being and mental health, and hopes to inspire women to become more conscious about their well-being in a culture that glorifies workaholism. One way that she promotes this message is through her affirmation albums: Affirmations for The Grown Ass Woman, Affirmations and Chill, and, I see Me Mantras. Toni believes that the new era of women's leadership is evolving with the core requirement of being consciously committed to well-being inside and out, starting with the way you talk to yourself!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
