I don't have to tell you that 2020 has been far from perfect. But you've made it this far, through COVID and quarantine and phased re-openings. Maybe you lost your job, or even worse, a loved one. You became besties with an app named, Zoom.
Or maybe you haven't felt like celebrating at all. And that's understandable. Life wasn't meant to be lived like a real-life version of The Sims. You had plans. And those plans were tossed out the window. But that's why it's more important than ever before, to find your own light.

The runners gliding through your local park might be enough to motivate you to head out on the road yourself, or maybe you’re just looking for a way to be more active or lose weight.

There is never a wrong time to practice a little "thank you." They say the Holidays are the MOST wonderful time of the year, but between the little things like Christmas, Hannukah, and Kwanza shopping, perfecting cooking recipes, and navigating holiday travel or the big things like missing loved ones, deployment overseas, or little money in the bank, this time of the year can be downright STRESSFUL.
When you are operating from a place of stress, it ain't always easy to remember gratitude. But there are easy ways to take the pressure off and still find time to say, 'thanks.'
In this episode we discuss:
- Gratitude and discontentment can live in the same space - there's room for both!
- How to remain grateful in the midst of the chaos, sadness, and frustration
- Is it possible for you to be happy NOW and still strive for your long term goal?
- CALL FOR LISTENER FEEDBACK: Have there been any experiences you lived through that now, one, five or ten years later, you can be grateful?

Sleep is a primary biological need, but 2 out of 3 people are not getting enough sleep. Is that you?
Sleep affects almost every type of tissue and system in the body – from the brain, heart, and lungs to metabolism, immune function, mood, and disease resistance. Research shows that a chronic lack of sleep, or getting poor quality sleep, increases the risk of disorders including high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression, and obesity.
On today's show:
- A quick quiz to determine if you're getting enough sleep
- Why your brain (not just your body) desperately needs sleep to properly function
- 5 tips to a longer and more restful sleep from a sleep expert
- The podcast I use to beat insomnia

We spend a lot of time on YOU WANNA DO WHAT?! talking about side hustles, bucket list items and achieving goals - from mindset to health and everything in between. I often tell people that YOU WANNA DO WHAT?! is about being more than your day job. but what if you love what you do AND keep the things you value - family, fitness, and fun - top of mind? What if you designed your days to fit all of it?

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.

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

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

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.
Whether you lost your dream job, didn’t make the team, or were turned down for a date, rejection hurts. But it’s also necessary for personal growth and professional development. 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

Imagine your day without thousands of instant messages, emails and calls interrupting your workflow, without complex, unmanageable and unreachable goals and without mistakes because you can't concentrate on ALL the tasks at once?
Today I’m sharing the technique I use that helps me work with time and not against it. It’s the exact method I used to accomplish 15 of the 20 items on my personal to-do list in ONE day. The best part? It’s really simple to do. This productivity hack works for just about everyone, including you.
If you have a neverending to-do list, be prepared to start ticking off the list.

We’ve all heard the term “overnight success”, but the truth is that there is no such thing.
What successful people do is they refused to give up. They put in the hard work, long hours and refuse to give in to fear and doubt. They get serious about their goal setting, they examine their lives, and they make the tough decisions. Sometimes, that means walking away from an industry you loved and worked in for 9 years.
That’s the story of Emily McDowell, today’s podcast guest. Emily became an entrepreneur “accidentally” by with the creation of a greeting card. ONE greeting card and her life changed. She’s a self-taught entrepreneur with a commitment to personal development and a refusal to give up. Today, we’ll talk about:
- The importance of empathy
- What NOT to say someone going through a health crisis
- How Emily became an "accidental entrepreneur"
Emily McDowell is a writer, illustrator, and entrepreneur who specializes in chronicling the human condition. In 2012, she left a successful career in advertising to launch her greeting card line, making cards for the relationships we really have.

Are you "shoulding" all over yourself? It usually goes something like, "I should have done laundry / gone to the gym / said no to dessert / and well, you get it. With each "should" we add extra weight on our shoulders and it manifests as shame and guilt.
The next time you find yourself covered in "should," replace it with the question I share in episode 84. It'll move you into a place of empowerment and action.

Do you people please? Put yourself on the bottom of your to-do list? Wait until everyone else is taken care of before you tend to your own physical, emotional and spiritual well-being?

Monika Bhasin quit her 6-figure job at a pharmaceutical company because she felt like she was "pulling her hair and her teeth every single day." She went to acting school, waited tables, owned a food truck and more before launching her travel app, GLYD (Go Live Your Dreams). She knows the determination and courage it takes to overcome the professional, personal and psychological hurdles women face.
When we travel, we get to choose our own experience. Some choose to watch the world from the outside, as a voyeur, never really taking part. And then, there's another type of traveler -- the kind who seeks to embrace the world and live a truly authentic experience. Monika created GLYD around one very simple idea -- if you want to really experience another place, the best way to do it is with someone who lives there.
With the launch of GLYD, a travel platform that connects travelers with locals in their destination, she hopes to not only disrupt the travel industry for the better, but to also create opportunities and inspire people across the globe.

The need to be perfect is holding you back. All the stories we tell ourselves that our work or our life has to be perfect before we can get started or move forward, holds us back and stress us out from fully experiencing life. What would happen if you dared yourself to do it anyway? To do it, whatever your it is, even if it meant it wasn’t perfect?
Perfectionism masks itself in accomplishments but it’s really about not wanting to fail.
Let go of perfect and strive for adaptability instead.

No one would have blamed her if she stayed in bed for months. Experts, books and friends all told her to give herself a year to heal. If you have experienced loss or death, grief can consume you. Chelsea practiced mindfulness as she grieved, always examining her thoughts before reacting. Over the next year, she traveled the world - alone - and she designed a life based how she wanted to feel.

Would you give away everything you own, pack the trunk of your car and drive 2200 miles to a place where you know no one? Empowerment Expert, Cyrus Harper, drove to Los Angeles and was homeless - sleeping in his car - because he believed he was called to do something great. Growing up surrounded by drugs and turmoil, he recognized the pain that people hide from the outside world. Cyrus has spent nearly 20 years helping himself by helping others. Through his work with the Boys and Girls Club and beyond, he has devoted himself to helping others eliminate destructive behavior.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Living as a homeless person in Los Angeles
- Giving away all his belongings
- Joining Toastmasters in Beverly Hills without anyone knowing he slept in his car every night
- Working in alignment with your highest calling
I also share my thoughts on the deaths of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain and my recent Facebook post to you about suicide and death.

Who says kids get to have all the fun? Most adults are oblivious to what we knew as children — that play is where you live. Playful adults have the ability to transform everyday situations, even stressful ones, into something entertaining. Grownups aren’t supposed to play. We are mature. We’re busy. We have important things to do. It turns out, though, that there are few things more important to your happiness than frequent doses of play.
In this episode, we discuss:
- 5 reasons you should add play as an adult (hint: it's way easier than the gym)
- Examples of Summer/Winter activities for try
- The best time I ever had at Dave & Busters and why you should try it
Study from the University of Zurich:
The well-being of playful adults: Adult playfulness, subjective well-being, physical well-being, and the pursuit of enjoyable activities

Laughter is the best medicine. It makes you feel good. But how do we laugh through the hard days and the difficult times? My guest had to face some big challenges; a father who wasn’t always present, a blown out knee in his early 20s and a dream to be a comedian that he wasn’t quite sure how to make happen. He knew he was angry, but how could he channel his anger and turn this negative emotion into something positive? With the help of a spiritual teacher and a strong desire to develop a deeper understanding of himself, Rick began a journey of self-discovery. YOU WANNA DO WHAT?! welcomes Rick "Wind" Herrera, millennial man, writer, comedian, singer, poet and actor to the podcast.

If you want something done, you gotta do it yourself. Right? Not always. Sometimes you have to ask for help - an ear, a shoulder, a Task Rabbit? For me, that revelation came when I attempted my first home improvement project thanks to YouTube and maybe a little too much confidence. It's a comical story with a fortunate lesson that allowed me to see that some problems require help and there's nothing wrong with that.

Beauty sells. Social media is full of carefully curated images creating "insta famous" users overnight. These "influencers" promote products and also sell young girls, teens and women on earning quick money through beauty. What can we do to make brains just as appealing? How do we instruct girls that they are more than their appearances?
Social media platforms rise in popularity while education in the United States weakens, scoring average grades in science and reading and below average in math.
We talk about all this plus Chris Rock's classic joke to keep his daughters "off the pole", the Netflix series from Spike Lee, "She's Gotta Have It," why I worry about my two nieces and what would my life be if Instagram was around when I was a teenager.

The choice to have kids and marry is not always an obvious one. Not all women are born to be mothers and some of us are still trying to figure it out if that's our path. Add society's pressures, a biological clock and other people's unsolicited opinions and we're left with a lot of shame. I talk about my personal struggles on the topic and why it sometimes feel like I have better odds to win the lottery than figure this out.
