All About The Joy

We had so much fun again this past week on the Live Stream of All About the Joy - in today's episode I'm clarifying a listener's query and also reminding everyone, it really is all about the joy. I would never say something about someone that I wouldn't be able to say to their face. It's not my way -- I don't hide behind masks or say things I can't defend. With a...

In this episode, I talk about one of Oprah's famous quotes. I challenge the premise and then give three simple things that work for me instead - that I know have helped me accomplish a LOT!  I still practice these today.   Thank you for stopping by.  Please visit our website: All About The Joy and add, like and share .   You can now watch the livestream version of the show on YouTube at @Carm...

In the episode, I talk about my experience trying to change people. Can it be done? Personal Responsibility is a thing.  I explain why I use the phrase, All About The Joy and I give you some insight on how I handle toxic people. It may not be right, but it's how I do it.  What's your trick?  If you want to see the VIDEO version, please check out the YOUTUBE podcasting page!   Thank you f...

I finally got to sit down with my good friend Simon. We talked about his blog, our common love of Sci-Fi, some things we hate about social media and what our responsibility are if we're going to play in this space.  I also get truly disappointed when he shares what his favorite Sci-Fi movie of all time is!!!  OH NO!  It was a GREAT conversation!  Please join us. This is the recording of the L...

As always, hanging out on a Thursday night, after work with some friends is always a little bit too much fun AND can be a little controversial.  Had a blast talking with friend Eric Hypes who joined me, Rick Costa, Andrea Nunez, and Cynthia Lopez to talk about all things but specifically remote work ending and the controversial question of the night:  If you could trade your life with another pers...

It's getting harder and harder not to just post the entire Live Streaming episode as it goes along.  In this episode,  Cynthia Yvette Lopez, Andrea Nunez and Rick Costa join me for a fun filled conversation about Work, life and just sheer all things JOY-ISM!  To watch the entire live stream via video, check it out on YouTube or any other platform -- we are now going live every Thursday, 6pm P...

In the first half of today's episode, I share a lesson I learned long ago that will contribute to how I plan my next steps in live streaming.  Then, I've put together some clips from last week's hang-out with friends to give you a little flavor of what went down hangin' in the neighborhood.    Thank you for stopping by.  Please visit our website: All About The Joy and add, like...

Had so much fun chatting with a couple of friends in the neighborhood from the good 'ole days when we first met. A few more are in the chat, chiming in with more funnyisms and joy!  We cover me quitting my job (or wanting to), staying away from toxicity, relationship questions for men and women and answering all the " What If You Were On an Island ..." questions and so much more!  E...

In this week's episode, we take a slice of an hour and half-long live stream between me and my friend Rick Costa. He needed some advice about his two friends. One is divorced (Julio) and dating the never-married single friend (Lucia) - between me and some awesome people in the comments during the live stream, I think we figured it out for him!    Thank you for stopping by.  Please visit our w...

In this episode, I talk about how no matter how hard I've worked, no matter how hard I've tried - I still have not accomplished my goals in life at all. And, I think I know why. Working hard has nothing to do with it.  Thank you for stopping by.  Please visit our website: All About The Joy and add, like and share .   You can now watch the livestream version of the show on YouTube at @Car...

In this episode, I'm just sharing a truth about being single and alone especially when you are sick.  I wonder if others have experienced this as well.  Thank you for stopping by.  Please visit our website: All About The Joy and add, like and share .   You can now watch the livestream version of the show on YouTube at @CarmenLezeth  You can also support AATJ by shopping at our STORE - Or by a...

I'm feeling so sick today, but had to post a bit about what's been going on. I hope it might help some others when it comes to how toxicity can affect you - as it's affecting me.   Please reach out and let me know your thoughts on this. And, how are you changing this in your life if you've been in a similar situation?   Thank you for stopping by.  Please visit our website: All...

I've made the decision to take the rest of the year off.  I'm embracing the good things from 2022 and taking the learning lessons from 2022 as well.  I'll be back in the New Year. But for now, I wish you all a wonderful holiday season!   Thank you for stopping by.  Please visit our website: All About The Joy and add, like and share .   You can now watch the livestream version of the...

In this episode, I went to a birthday party this weekend and learned a lot about friendships. I learned even more about fitness and how things change as we get older for everyone. I was so stressed about going to the party to begin with, but glad I forced myself to go - I was reminded what real friends, real good people can do for you and what you do for them.  Check out these links as mentioned i...

In this episode, I talk about Homelessness, our responsibility, the disrespect and yes, homeless people are just like you and me. My book on the people who walked me thought: CANELA  Thank you for stopping by.  Please visit our website: All About The Joy and add, like and share .   You can now watch the livestream version of the show on YouTube at @CarmenLezeth  You can also support AATJ by shoppi...

On this week's episode, we talk about the latest comment by the famed director, Quentin Tarantino on whether or not Marvel Movie actors are "movie stars" and, more importantly, if blockbuster movies are Art. I also share a real reason why people are no longer going to the movies to see...well, anything other than blockbuster movies.  Fair warning - I'm swearing all over this ep...

In this episode, I tackle being alone on Thanksgiving. So many of us struggle during the holidays and it's time we take a moment and change our perspective on what we can do and what this time can mean if we're willing to try and be more optimistic about it all.  I also mention some movies ( Limitless and Wakanda Forever ) that you might want to check out at some point. And, yes, I menti...

In this episode:  I talk a little more on Elon Musk's foolery.  I also talk about how the new movie Wakanda Forever has affected me in ways I didn't even know was possible.   I explain real power and why the people who suffer the most from racism are actually not people of color.  Weird, right?  But listen in, it'll make sense after.  Thank you for stopping by.  Please visit our web...

I'm always shocked by the way in which people choose to fire people. It says so much about an organization when they try and do the hard thing. But most people - most owners of companies don't do the hard thing, they always seem to do the easy thing.  It's not business it's personal, is the line...  Thank you for stopping by.  Please visit our website: All About The Joy and add...

People are always confused by this simple concept - that everyone should be treated with respect, and dignity and acknowledged for a job well done. But no one will be surprised to know that the most valuable employees who run a company are the ones who are the least acknowledged on a regular basis.  And in most cases,  without them, you wouldn't have a company at all.  Do you know who they ar...

I've been working with a client this past week who is re-evaluating her current job position. She surprised herself when she realized she really didn't want to be doing the job she's been doing all this time as a career for so many years.  There was a light bulb moment.  Are you able to interpret the signs all around you?  Does it matter why the signs exist? Or is something else mor...

We've all gotten those dreading DM's after we've connected with someone on social media where someone is trying to sell you something you never asked for or needed. Those people are definitely networking wrong.  We've also all been in a situation where we needed to connect to someone in order to get a job or to actually let them know of a product we do want to sell... how do we...

A different way to connect. Being respectful and learning someone's name is a good start.   Thank you for stopping by.  Please visit our website: All About The Joy and add, like and share .   You can now watch the livestream version of the show on YouTube at @CarmenLezeth  You can also support AATJ by shopping at our STORE - Or by and buying us a coffee.  We'd appreciate that greatly.  ...

In this episode, I share one of the ways I walk myself through a difficult situation. Whether you're having a bad day or feeling blue, or you woke up in a bad mood, this is one of the things I do to get myself thinking from a different perspective.  People ask how I always stay positive.  Well, it's not that I am more positive than anyone else, it's that when something bad happens,...

In this episode, I talk about the difference between being arrogant and knowing yourself. I offer an apology (but not for what you think)  and I talk about what I do for a living. I also talk about why knowing your strengths and weaknesses matter and how you can have a real sense of power by knowing yourself fully.  I've been called a lot of things in my life, and I like the new title I heard...
