This is your motivation to go for the challenge that feels impossible, the one that you’re scared most of and to move past what’s holding you back.

I sit down with Angela Gargano—founder of Pull Up Revolution, six-time American Ninja Warrior, former biochemist turned Miss Fitness America competitor, and keynote speaker—who’s made a career out of showing up for the impossible.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, sidelined by self-doubt, or like you’re winding through life on autopilot, Angela’s journey will inspire you with “just go for it” energy! From tearing her ACL on national TV, to conquering multiple stages, she reveals how she pushed through the mental noise to make her goals happen.

✨ Topics in this podcast:

• Feel → Frame → Finish: Angela’s magnetic formula: lean into the doubt, set a hard deadline, then celebrate every small win.
  
  
• “What If It All Goes Right?” Mindset: Swap “What if I fail?” for a question that refocuses your brain on possibilities with actionable steps.
  
  
• Shedding the Crutches: From ACL braces to resistance bands—when you need to let go of the “crutches” that you no longer need to succeed
  
  

Listen for BIG inspiration. No life-overhauls involved—just small steps and the courage to take your first unsteady rep towards your goals.

Listen to Next: Ep 292 - Unlock Emotional Resilience with The Holistic Psychologist

If you’re feeling fatigue, burnout, or just not like yourself lately… this might be why: you’re leaking energy.

In this solo episode, I’m diving into the three biggest energy drains I’ve experienced—and what might be draining you without even realizing it.

From old friendships that no longer align, to overcommitting from fear of missing out, to the mental loops of comparison and perfectionism… these leaks add up.

I’ll show you how to spot where your energy is going (and why it’s not coming back), how lower motivation and self-control often start with these hidden drains, and how certain interactions—even with people we care about—can fatigue us more than we know.


In this episode:

• Why even "productive thoughts" like perfectionism tank your nervous system
• The 3 biggest energy leaks: people, patterns, and mindset
• Why your lack of motivation might actually be leaking energy, not lack of discipline
• What emotional labor and “attention residue” have to do with your burnout

This isn’t about cutting people off or hustling harder. It’s about alignment. Energy alignment.
Because when you plug those leaks, everything flows better—creativity, rest, even joy.

00:45 — Energy Leaks: What They Are & Why They Matter
02:00 — When People Drain You: Emotional Labor & Boundaries
08:10 — The Hidden Cost of Overcommitting and Multitasking
10:30 — Mindset Leaks: Perfectionism, Comparison & Burnout
18:50 — How to Audit & Plug Your Biggest Energy Drains

"Is this person good for my soul?"

In this quiet, powerful conversation, dating and relationship coach Mariana Moreno joins us to talk about the kind of love that feels safe, peaceful, and lasting—the kind that lifts you up instead of leaving you questioning your worth.

Mariana goes beyond dating “rules” and fantasy expectations to explore how to filter out toxic advice, tune into your inner voice, and reflect on the real question:

Is this relationship nourishing me—or draining me?

We talk about self-worth, moving on after heartbreak, and how to stop chasing fantasy love so you can finally recognize the real thing.

• 00:33 – Signs of a Safe and Fulfilling Relationship

• 03:52 – Healing After an Emotionally Abusive Relationship

• 06:01 – The One Question to Ask If You're Unsure About Them

• 15:44 – How to Move On from a Breakup in a Healthy Way

• 22:10 – The Link Between Self-Worth and the Love You Accept

✨ Topics in this podcast:

• Emotional safety in dating
• Why self-esteem sets the tone for the love you accept
• What healthy “moving on” really looks like after a painful breakup
• Filtering harmful dating advice
• The one question to ask on every first date
• How to manage relationship baggage—like jealousy and fear—without pushing love away
  
  

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt trapped in an unhealthy dynamic, struggled to move on, or is asking why the kind of connection they want keeps slipping away.

💬 If you’ve ever wondered why you haven’t found the relationship you need, this episode might hold the answer.

Welcome to the conversations we know we need to have but bury deep inside of us…

Often there are thoughts that just feel so big and overwhelming, that we get lost and stuck. Speaking the words around them can help release a lot of frustration, pain and indecision.

This episode is about one BIG conversation: Should I have kids?

There are MANY expectations around women and motherhood. It can feel exhausting trying to figure out what YOU want.

This is my story…one I don’t see spoken about enough.

I feel VERY vulnerable sharing this but I also hope that this message gets to other women who are in similar sitautions and feeling incredibly isolated.

I see you.
I understand.
You are not alone.

Listen if you feel that countdown timer and you’re just not sure what to do.

(Please share this with women in your life that need to feel heard as well!)
