Off Duty

Hello summer, hello new beginnings, hello flowers. Did you ever have someone throw dirt at you? Not really throw dirt, but like the kind that makes you ask what is wrong with people? What did I do? Do they need a hug? From December until now I have had dirt thrown at me and you know what... this girl has flowers blooming, still budding, and forever growing. So my dear listeners, let us hang up tho...

This week I am all about celebrating... end of school, summer starting AND sharing our podcast event!!! I am sharing the footage with you whether you watch or listen from our one-stop mini podcast tour at our local fav ... Roosters Coffeehouse in Ledgewood, NJ. We had so many wonderful guests, giveaways sponsored by Olipop, GoNanas, and Provence Beauty making it unforgettable night! Enjoy my other...

I did something and I made it happen. I put it out in the universe and she answered. I continued to write my story the way I wanted it to be because that's what matters most. I jumped and landed. xx Deana

One thing I know for sure is that when you are at the highest part before you make it, it is so darn hard! I also know many are waiting to "catch" you, but the catch is more like a drop. Change your perspective, energy level, and know that rotten fruit will fall on it's own. Allow your energy to move continuously to where you need it to go versus how those who don't want you to d...

It is not always easy. It sometimes takes forever, but it is worth it. It is how you will finally say I DID IT! So, take the jump, leap, or simple step for the climb. xx Deana

What are you good at when it comes to fitness/movement? Do you know it is okay to not love every minute and each workout? It is also okay to not be a professional at what you do when working out. Join me today always to 4.0 your life! xx Deana

It's not for fame, popularity, or to show off. It is for proud feelings and the achievement of what once was hard to do, be done. So if you see it as anything but that, your perception is off, you may have a jealous complex, and you need to go fix yourself. Thanks, and have the day you deserve. xx deana

Drink Drama, a Podcast Tour, and how to 4.0 your life with failure that helps with regret. Join me today and every Thursday as we 4.0 our life! xx Deana

If you can understand that people are not your competition and that they truly are the collaboration team you always dreamed of, then change is no longer a problem. If you can make a small change and say that the outcome holds so much weight of greatness, then change is no longer a problem. If you just jump or leap and know if it doesn't work out you can...change again, then change is no longe...

It's like your first relationship, when you got married, or when you had kids...it's a commitment. If you can't keep it, then what is the point? Set goals, set expectations, but do it for you. Fitness is a way of life. Fitness is a bettering of yourself. Fitness is the "medicine" that we all need more of. So then why is it so hard to commit to yourself, when you commit so much of yourself to other...

I don't want someone to like me because someone else said they should. I don't want someone to just follow me on instagram to "watch" me. I want people that are interested in what I do, what I say, and actually care, because you're not my competition. Also I don't want seat fillers to have an auditorium filled of people that just don't get it. So to the people that get me, listen, and love it all....

Maybe it's your question. Maybe you just need to change it to get your point across, make someone not feel like garbage, or so you get more than one word answers. Change your question. Join me today on the podcast as we 4.0 our life by changing the question. xx deana

With Spring happening today, I more concerned about sink holes and allergies if you ask me. For others, it is the beauty and wonderful budding of flowers. It looks like someone sprinkled matcha everywhere and then you feel like a fire breathing dragon, so more sink hole talk? Either way, join me today as we compare tomatoes to 4.0-ing your life.

Not needing validation or one's approval is something that we don't see a lot. If we truly think about how we feel, what we want, and the way we see it, maybe we can see what we are doing is real, is great, and is everything worth congratulating ourselves for! xx deana

A NJ Sinkhole can for sure change a person, but does it also change your driving? No, no it does not. You are either a bad driver or a good one, so no excuse there. Any who, back with it and figuring it all out as I 4.0 my life! xx Deana

The fear of glitter, rescuing shoes, and so much more... When I first came across Josh's instagram page, I knew I had to follow. Josh is hilarious, on point, and just overly talented. To be honest any Kindergarten teacher needs to be rewarded for all they do. Josh and I planned a recording and we found out how similar we are and now we are BEST FRIENDS! Seriously, that isn't me just being...

After super relating to The Hungry Fork aka Ari, I was like we are so talking about this. It is about saying no and NOT looking back! xx deana

Ever tell someone they look great and you don't mean it? What about the person that ALWAYS says your outfit is so nice, but you know they're just fishing for their own compliments and they lie about your outfit in return... why? Why do people do this? Does it make you feel better? Sound better? Just want to be Perfect Polly? All I know is my face says it all, and I may have called some peo...

This isn't a religious one folks, sorry if that is what you came for. This one is about letting go of all the thoughts of others, the words of others, and just loving thy self for what you bring to the table. YOU are writing your book. YOU are creating your happily ever after. YOU are the one who calls the shots. So YOU let them do what it is they want, and love thy self! xx Deana

Is there really an answer to this? Is there a holy grail that will give us the magical pill to make us forever happy? I have no clue, but I do know that science (and I know science) has something to do with it. Like FDA banning red dye 3 = happy. Moving and dancing around = happy. So why aren't you happy. Lets chat, 4.0 our life, and do we we do best on here... 4.0 our life even if it's a...

The number one resolution is to let go of unwanted weight. Lose the weight! This weight I am talking about is the weight of people in your life that are just dragging you down, not supporting you, and just taking up positive space in your life. So, let them go and lose the weight! xx deana

In 2025, I just don't care... and I mean that respectfully. Let Them is a theory I heard from Mel Robbins and for some reason I instantly thought about cake. Maybe it is because we are always criticized if we dare eat unhealthy options. Or maybe it is because some people just can't seem to mind their own business. So with that, I am eating my cake and not caring. 4.0 life with me and I am still tr...

Shout out to Sophia Silverman's dad on Tiktok because what he said changed the game for sure! Join me as we wrap up 2024 as next week I will be enjoying some much needed time out with the family. Don't you worry because I will be back in the new year and already getting all the content and guests to share all things 4.0-ing Life. Happy Holidays ya'll and THANK YOU for listening and tuning in alway...

With one more episode after this one to release for 2024, I was a little lost on what to talk about today. I found myself wondering if I should record at all, but then I thought about how when I wrote my book...it helped at least one person. So today, I recorded and wasn't sure what the topic was until I started talking. Thank you all for always tuning in and listening... xx Deana
