Sunday Jul 19, 2020
Pata Medina es una de las locutoras de radio más veteranas de Venezuela. Es melómana desde adolescente y ha trabajado en la radio de Caracas desde hace diecisiete años en la Radio del Ateneo y La Mega 107.3. A los once años, sufrió de un desorden alimenticio que le complicó por muchos años su salud y que le ha enseñado mucho sobre la espiritualidad y la salud mental.
Esta es su historia de vida donde me cuenta cómo ha enfrentado su anorexia, el suicidio de su madre, la ansiedad, sus depresiones clínicas que todavía van y vienen, su experiencia como madre y su opinión sobre las relaciones amorosas.

Ep 7. Healing Trauma, Mind Body Connection, & Letting Go of Control
Sunday Jul 12, 2020
Sunday Jul 12, 2020
Ralph Ruiz was born in Dominican Republic and moved to New York City at the age of seven. After repressing trauma from his childhood that he did not know he had, Ralph was diagnosed with A.S, an incurable disease that causes chronic back pain a possible wheel chair in the future. Doctors told him that there was very little he could do.
After a long road of self discovery, Ralph has not only healed his body from pain, but is also helping others with A.S. as a life coach.
I learned a lot in this conversation with Ralph and it provided healing I didn’t even know I needed. I hope it will do the same for you.

Today I wanted to give you something a little different. I was feeling a little low this week and overall sick and tired of myself. But I called up my friend, Kyle, one of my dearest friends who I met on my Vipassana retreat in Thailand.
Kyle and I always have great open hearted conversations and I love catching up with him to talk about where we are in life. I decided I wanted to share our conversation with you as a way to cheer myself up but also to break away from the interview format a bit.
Here are some topics that we cover in this conversation:
- Our shared experience at the Vipassana retreat.
- What we think about the innocent flirting in our friendships.
- Kyle's "Eat Pray Love" trip and how he healed a chronic pain disease called Ankylosing Spondylitis.
- His experience with being an adopted child and meeting his biological parents for the first time.

Las mujeres latinoamericanas tendemos a limitarnos demasiado por complacer a la sociedad y a nuestros seres queridos. Pero, ¿que si comenzamos a romper esas barreras?
En esta conversación se cubren dos de mis temas favoritos: el yoga y lo que es viajar solo a largo plazo como mujer latina, algo que es muy poco común.
Silvia es una actriz, profesora de yoga, y entusiasta de la danza y movimiento de cuerpo (@hazyogadondesea) que le encanta viajar, sobre todo cuando es de su misma compañía.
Nos comparte cómo está logrando su sueño de nómada viajera, sus pensamientos y reflexiones sobre el yoga, y como podemos encontrar eso que nos hace feliz y que nos ayudará a nutrir nuestro amor propio.

Routines, routines, routines! They're important. Without them, things can get messy. I've had my fair struggle with setting structure to my days and thought I'd share with you my current process. Which is why talking to Pouya really helped me set some ground to improve my daily habits and routines.
This conversation took place in the midst of the COVID-19 quarantine after I decided to stop complaining and sulking over not being productive enough and feeling sluggish all the time. So after a good share of bad days sulking over how horrible this all was, I decided to talk to Pouya, a wellness and spiritual coach who I randomly met in a coffee shop once and have been addicted to his content ever since.
Here's his survival kit for the quarantine, and actually, for any kind of time when one is working from home.

Este es mi primer episodio en español, donde converso con Alex Hamilton, un psicólogo, coach, profesor y compositor, dedicado a ayudar a las personas a encontrar su creatividad y vivir la vida desde su llamado personal.
En el intro de este episodio converso sobre lo que estamos viviendo los venezolanos en este instante en cuanto a la gasolina. Un tema que no es nuevo para el país, pero si para la capital.
Yo me compadezco de lo que esta pasando en USA con la muerte de George Floyd. El racismo y el abuso de los policías hacia los negros es algo que tiene muchísimo tiempo y estoy contenta de que por fin, el país dijo “basta”.
Pero en esta ciudad, la mayoría estamos demasiado preocupados intentando sobrevivir para siquiera pensar en si somos racistas o no. Si. Hasta ese privilegio del “pensar” nos lo han arrebatado. Porque a la mayoría no nos da la cabeza para tanto cuando no tenemos ni luz, ni agua, ni gasolina y a ver si nos alcanza para la comida.
Y yo no pienso criticar a nadie. Yo solo hablo desde mí. El que quiera poner su cuadrito negro que lo ponga, el que quiera criticar al que lo haga y llamarlo hipócrita que lo haga. Es verdad. Aquí hay racismo. Es verdad. Eso hay que reclamarlo a nivel mundial.
Pero perdonen si en este momento, no quise hablar del racismo… por algo lo llamo MI audio diario… yo no soy una periodista. Yo soy comunicadora de las cosas que vivo, pienso y veo.
Y ESTA es mi realidad en este momento… sin perder de consciencia o de foco las cosas importantes… porque el racismo no es algo nuevo… solo que lamentablemente hacía falta que mataran a alguien (y que alguien lo grabara) para que el mundo prestara atención.

Welcome to my first episode!
Today you'll be hearing me talk with my mentor, Phyllis Rawley, who after being my writing coach for three months, gave me the news that her health was in decline due to a history of cancers and other factors, and that she didn't have much time left to live.
I'd been wanting to do a podcast for a long time but kept delaying it until now, because I needed to share her story and her voice with the world before she was gone. I could not be more privileged and more lucky to start my podcast with her as my very first guest.
Phyllis shares her life story, advice on how to have a successful relationship, a meaningful life, and how to rethink death.
She's taught me that not everything that society has taught us about how we are supposed to live is true. And that if you want to define your own beliefs and a way of living, you better research and question everything before you make a decision, instead of continuing along with the system's flow.
I will be diving the conversation into two parts.
Part One:
Phyllis talks about her childhood being raised in a military family, growing up in several military bases in the States, Okinawa Island and Iran. Discovering travel from a young age and dealing with both her parents getting cancer when she was a teenager.
She describes her young adulthood life's transitions from being a sex, drugs and rock and roll party girl to becoming a reborn christian missionary which she quit after 12 years. From her first orgasm at five years old to becoming a dominatrix in the world of bondage and later experiencing a kundalini awakening at Burning Man, Phyllis shares how this contributed to her teachings on relationships and sexuality.

This is part two of episode one, one of the last conversations I have with my writing coach and spiritual teacher before she passed away.
If you haven't checked out my intro and part one, I suggest starting there.
As I was editing this episode it was hard not to get emotional and realize how much I miss Phyllis's physical presence in my life. I hope I can do justice to all her wisdom and knowledge in this episode and transfer the same to those who are open to listen to very different concepts than what we are used to.
In this part of the conversation, she talks about the development of her spirituality as she experienced cancer four times, the lies she was told by her government and the traditional health system, what it means to trust ourselves and how we need to rethink the way we live as well as our notions of death.
