Self-awareness has been such an incredibly important part of our healing journey— Join us as we delve into the identification of patterns in relation to others and acknowledgement of how the old way of doing things isn’t working for us… On this episode we discuss some lies we tell ourselves to justify kindness from others. It’s time to be honest with ourselves, even when it makes us uncomfortable. Let us know if any of this resonates with you.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/truthtuesday/message
On this episode of Truth Tuesday, join us as we discuss relationships as a dance being led by the ‘masculine’ energy. This conversation is inspired by Wendy’s exploration of surrender by way of sensual movement and most recently… bachata. The parallels and mirroring that happen with a dance partner, emphasize that communication isn’t always verbal— Taking on the role of a lead, requires a level of awareness of self and other and begs the question, are we ‘fluent’ in our own body language? Let us know your experience.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/truthtuesday/message
The most random debate of 2023– what’s permissible as far as where a woman is taken on a first date… Here’s our two cents on all of that. Ladies, gentlemen— what are your thoughts?--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/truthtuesday/message
Infidelity— We see it happening everywhere. It makes us uncomfortable to witness it, it makes us uncomfortable to address it, it makes us uncomfortable to acknowledge that we may have opened the door for it. Join us as we navigate this delicate subject matter that needs to come to the light. It's important that our truth has a soft place to land. And Truth Tuesday is that soft place.Speaking truth is a courageous and vulnerable act. When we're ready to share, it's important that we feel safe— especially within the confines of a union. Sometimes we are heard and understood, other times we are rejected and judged. When all is said and done, we are the ones that have to carry our truth throughout our lifetime, and that can get really heavy. We get to decide when we’re ready to lighten the load. At the end of the day, we only have ourselves and God.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/truthtuesday/message
Welcome to episode 2 of season 3. In this episode we discuss Wendy’s new found discovery as to what is the bare minimum to qualify a man as a “good man.” We’re in for a ride— let us know if this conversation resonates. Single people, if you’re out there in the dating sphere—we invite yo to ask yourself: What is MY bare minimum? What conditions must a person meet to be allowed to share space with me? What things are important to me at this time?--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/truthtuesday/message

You don’t wanna miss this! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/truthtuesday/message
If you asked us 20 years ago if we knew our relationship would become what it is, we had no idea. As we reflect on our experience, we can argue that Truth Tuesday actually started as late night deep conversations in a car during our college years. On this episode of Truth Tuesday, join us as we switch things up—Cynthia takes the wheel while we share our origin story. Thank you for joining us on this journey. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/truthtuesday/message
Being a leader is much more than a job title. Someone may have the title of Manager, Supervisor, Executive Director, etc… that doesn’t always mean they have the tools to mentor, guide, or teach others. On this episode, join us as we discuss what it means to be a good leader and the concept of not being seen in the workplace. Good leaders see people & develop their talents. This has an impact on the way we evolve professionally and in life. Do you feel seen in the workplace? Have you been looked over? Have you been given the opportunity to grow professionally? How has this impacted you both professionally and personally?--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/truthtuesday/message
It’s March 28, 2023 and if sky’s are clear, we may have the opportunity to see 5-planet alignment, 45 minutes before sunrise… needless to say, when we talk about alignment, we’re not talking about a tire alignment. Join us as we discuss being in alignment with our highest truth and share how we are able to identify when we’re in alignment versus when we’re out of alignment. What does this bring up for you? Are you aware of the choices that derail you from moving toward your purpose? Are you aware of the choices that support you in living your truth?--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/truthtuesday/message
One of our favorite F words: Forgiveness. We often speak about forgiveness, but what is it really? What does it look like? What does it feel like? Forgiveness is a powerful tool for us, for our healing. Forgiveness liberates us, as an intentional decision to let go of resentment and anger. On this episode, we discuss how forgiveness impacts how we show up in the world and how our inability to practice forgiveness often shows up as a barrier to us showing up authentically. Join us as we take a deep dive into practicing forgiveness to experience life fully. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/truthtuesday/message
This episode title couldn’t more self explanatory. We’re catching up. Life happens and we fell off our routine to settle in our new roles and/or life circumstances. We’re sure you can relate. Join us as we share what we’ve been up to. Sending love! Hope you’ve been doing well.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/truthtuesday/message
Coping mechanisms can be healthy or unhealthy. Can you identify yours? We are sometimes unaware of strategies that we use to cope with uncomfortable or difficult situations in our lives. Doom scrolling, drinking, excessive exercise… you get the picture. Join us as we discuss coping mechanisms and delve into how we’ve been able to identify when these become more harmful than beneficial. It’s important that we know when it’s time to let go of behaviors or practices that are not in alignment with our highest good.

Bringing joy to the forefront of our mind takes some effort due to negativity bias- a tendency to identify negative emotions/stimuli more easily. How do we overcome it? Join us as we discuss how we intentionally experience joy. We invite you to explore this on a day to day basis.

We often hear it takes a village… and in many cultures “the village” does provide support. Becoming a mother can feel like instant isolation. As we know, parenting does not come with an instruction manual, as each child is unique. How would it be if we actively supported mothers as a community? Join Andrea Vargas, LMFT (our first podcast guest), Cynthia and I as we discuss parenting with community support. Let us know your experiences parenting with or without support.

“Let go if it doesn’t serve you.” We hear that a lot in the healing community. As we protect our energy and space in order to support our healing journey, sometimes this means putting a lot of space between you and others. During this process of isolation, a connection to self is being nourished, but often at the expense of connecting with others who are not on a similar path. Join us as we take a deep dive into our experiences. What do we do if and when we want to reconnect? Is it possible to reintegrate our new selves into spaces that we once walked away from?

We are here to forge our own path. Times are changing and many people are not seeking to be in relationships for the sake of being in relationships. More and more, people are challenging the status quo. Listen in as we talk about how redefining relationships is disrupting relationship templates and paradigms.

We’re back with some food for thought. If you’re on a dating app… are you being honest? The truth is, many people are throwing out a hook to see who will bite. This leads many down the “situationship” path. Situationships are inherently confusing and frustrating, masquerading as a “flexible, go with the flow” dynamic. We wonder: What are people in the dating scene striving for? And are relationships unsuccessful because people are afraid to claim what they really want? Join us as Cynthia sits on the interrogation chair and I ask her some questions about her dating journey. She shares insight as to the role she played in unsuccessful relationships, taking responsibility and sharing how she has grown from her experiences. Let us know if this resonates.

Every interaction has the potential to teach us something we didn’t know about how we choose to show up in the world. It is no surprise that for us, relationships present us with opportunities to learn more about ourselves and opportunities to refine what we are willing to compromise in the name of love. On the last episode of this season, Cynthia and I address the following prompt: What did your past relationships teach you about love and partnerships?

Grief is a part of life. On this episode, join us as we share our experiences with grief. By befriending grief, we open ourselves up to self-understanding. It’s no surprise that cultivating a relationship with grief, brings balance into our lives. We can’t release what we are unwilling to acknowledge. How do you manage grief? Do you acknowledge grief when it comes up in your life?

As adults, we should have full sovereignty over our existence and our choices to engage in social media. We don’t know about you, but we keep hearing stories about how some people are not “allowed” to have social media profiles. Who isn’t allowing them? No, not their parents, their romantic partners! This is a hot topic. We understand everyone has boundaries, but if your current partner is coercing you to post, not post or delete your social media accounts, that’s a red flag. Join us as we share our thoughts on this topic… and don’t be shy, we’d love to hear your take on this!

Do you fully trust yourself? Do you trust others? Trust is important in developing a close connection to yourself and others. Showing up authentically in and of itself is truth, which is what trust is built on. On this episode of Truth Tuesday we address the following prompt: Describe a time when you had trust broken and how that affected you.

Storytelling is powerful medicine! Creating safe spaces for people to share their stories is becoming increasingly important as we come face to face with the ever evolving & emerging spectrum of mental health needs of the collective.
We have witnessed the changes that take place when we invite loved ones to share their experiences, allowing for understanding, validation and healing.
Are you comfortable sharing your story? Do you take ownership of your story? Are you able to identify stories you may be telling yourself? Join us as we explore all of these questions.

Thanks for coming back as we continue our conversation on receiving, focusing on signs & synchronicities. Being open to receive looks different for everyone. Many of us experience difficulty in receiving support, compliments, abundance… you name it! We don’t feel safe and sometimes don’t trust because of underlying issues or past trauma.

On episode 1 we talk about the power of containers. Containers are powerful spaces and many healers, guides, facilitators, coaches, therapists, teachers, etc. create different types of safe containers to help us heal in relationship to others, within a community setting so that we know we’re not alone. All of this is key for our healing. For more information about the 21 Days of Gratitude Journey with Justin Tristao, visit justintristao.com or follow @justintristao on Instagram.
