    E109: TEDx Talk - The Flipside of Loneliness

    E109: TEDx Talk - The Flipside of Loneliness

    Is there a solution to cure loneliness? Loneliness comes in many forms job loss, deployment, divorce, death, illness, or moving to a new city. For me, grief was the catalyst. When I was 16, I suffered a traumatic loss that forever changed my life. I found myself alone, lonely. Chronic loneliness is an epidemic. Half of Americans say they feel alone and in Britain, it's 1 in 3 people. 

    If you have the courage to confess that you're lonely, most people reply with well-intentioned but unhelpful pieces of advice like, “Reach out and connect, make friends, here’s a great quote.”  As if you hadn’t seen the “Just Hang in There” cat poster before.

    In my TEDx talk, “The Flipside of Loneliness”, I share my formula for navigating loneliness, including the 3 ways to embrace the 'lone' in lonely.

    E107: Alicia Menendez on Why Likability is a Trap

    Why fit in when you were born to stand out? Times have changed. With over 7 billion people in the world, a changing business landscape, and the competitive job market, fitting in is failing out. 

    This week's guest is Alicia Menendez. Alicia is a journalist and multimedia storyteller. Named “Broadcast Journalism’s New Gladiator” by Elle Magazine, “Ms. Millennial” by The Washington Post, and a “Content Queen” by Marie Claire, Alicia has quickly become a force in American media. She was recently named a weekend anchor at MSNBC. Alicia is also the co-producer and host of Latina to Latina, a weekly interview podcast.

    >> Pre-order Alicia's new book The Likeability Trap: How to Break Free and Succeed as You Are 

    As you listen to episode 107 ask yourself these questions:

    1. Have you lived a conventional life?
    2. Have you ever felt like an outsider unwelcome in your environment?
    3. Are you fighting to fit in and playing small at home, work or in your relationship?

    E105: Making Mistakes, Working for Shark Tank's Daymond John and Entrepreneurship

    E105: Making Mistakes, Working for Shark Tank's Daymond John and Entrepreneurship

    Are you comparing your roadmap to someone else? Matt LeBris was just 17 when he began working in the NYC nightlife industry. Captivated by money, Matt fell for the allure of the brights lights and big city. Unable to juggle both school and work, Matt failed out of college and opted to expand his position in marketing and promotion working with people like 50 Cent, Fetty Wap and more.

    An epiphany led Matt to recommit to his education which led to meeting Daymond John of ABC's Shark Tank and then, a full-time job within Daymond's company. 

    In this episode, we discuss: 

    • Leveraging your network
    • Why money won't heal your pain
    • Pivoting from materialism to service
    • Personal branding and WHY everyone should care about, no matter your age or industry. 

    People say the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. That's great for directions, but life is filled with twists, turns, and road bumps. Strap on your seatbelt and get ready for this hot, new episode!

    E100: Life Lessons - Advice to Your Younger Self

    "The days are long but the years are short." - Gretchen Rubin

    Celebrate a special 100th episode of YOU WANNA DO WHAT?! 

    In 2013, I bought my first microphone, but it wasn't until 2017 that I began podcasting. What if I hadn't chickened out? What if I hadn't talked myself out of starting? That was nearly 6 years ago, and it got me thinking about what else I would do differently.

    What advice would I give my younger self? What advice would you give yours?

    With the help of friends, listeners and former YOU WANNA DO WHAT?! guests, I'm sharing 9 pieces of advice I would give my younger self with the hopes that I wasn't too much of a stubborn kid to take it.

    Plus the motto I've lived by for over 20 years. You can USE it today and every day going forward.

    E97: Confidence as a Young Woman in STEM

    Were you ever asked the question, “what do you want to be when you grow up”? Today's episode will remind you of who your teenage-self used to be. If you feel lost, stuck, or unsure of what to include on your bucket list, which goals to chase and what dreams to pursue, listen to Karina's story.

    Karina Popovich is determined to have her name listed alongside other STEM giants such as Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk. At 14 she founded the company, Connect with Tech, to give students of underrepresented backgrounds the opportunity to deep-dive into the world of technology through coding workshops, speaker sessions, and tech programs. In a few weeks, she'll graduate from the prestigious Brooklyn Technical High School in New York City before heading to Cornell University to pursue a degree in Business and Engineering. 

    We discuss: 

    • Why she unapologetically calls herself an engineer 
    • How life as a first-generation immigrant influenced her work ethic
    • Confidence as a young woman in a male-dominated field of STEM 
    • Apprenticeship with Girls Who Code 
    • Ways her parents' support and encouragement has influenced her

    E95: Three Ways to Reframe Rejection (and Move On)

    Have you ever wondered what you have in common with Beyonce, George Clooney, and Lebron James? Rejection! We all face it, and we all share it in common. Rejection forces us to learn how to overcome obstacles to achieve greatness.

You have two options: take rejection personally or apply my three-step framework to help you out the next time you’re told “no”.  

    In today’s episode, we’re empowering people to use rejection as a tool and exploring:

    • Why rejection hurts
    • A three-step framework to accept, and embrace, rejection
    • How to use rejection as a catalyst for smart goal setting

    E91: How to Invest Your Money

    E91: How to Invest Your Money

    Did you know that the most profitable investment you’ll ever make is in YOURSELF? When you invest in your personal growth, and you declare that you’re making the conscious to decide to devote time and energy on yourself, you send a powerful message into the universe. A message that says I’m ready to change my mindset, get serious about goal setting, and commit to ME.

    In part two of the YOU WANNA DO WHAT?! four-part personal development series, we talk about all things money with Her Money Matters expert, Jen Hemphill. Money is a tricky subject, but talking about it shouldn’t be taboo. Today we’re taking a look at:

    • Your relationship to money (aka “your money story”)
    • How to develop a smart money mindset
    • How to set goals about money
    • Strategies to become besties with your Benjamins

    Today's YOU WANNA DO WHAT?! crazy, big idea is to get real on the concept of investing in yourself. When you make the decision to invest in yourself, you send a powerful message to yourself and to the world.

    You are declaring that you are important enough to devote time, energy and space to your growth, to your learning and to your personal goals no matter the size or the scope.
