All Things Life with Niro Feliciano

We often begin the new year with resolutions that 64% of people give up on within a month.  Creating sustainable new habits is a different process entirely. In this podcast I talk about how to set meaningful intentions leading to meeting goals that reflect what is important in your life-and ones that will actually last.

This episode is not just for Christmas, but we can learn a lot about getting ready for what's ahead through the Christmas story. A New Year won't be new unless we begin to do things differently.  Do you actually have room in your life for the blessings you have been asking for? I didn't until I made room both in my life and in myself.  Today I share how you can get ready, too. 

All is calm? Not quite. With two weeks to go, many of us find ourselves stressed and distracted, making it hard to feel the holiday magic. Here are a few tips on how to manage a hectic holiday and find a little more peace on earth. 

Fernanda Scott is a beautiful, successful, happily married young mom of two little boys—and she had a life-changing stroke. She knows that bad things do happen to good people. This is her story about her hard thing and how her life was changed in ways that she could never have imagined...for good.

Pediatrician Dr. Krissy—my baby sis—joins me to discuss all your questions about the Covid vaccine and kids ages 5 to 11.  Stay with us until the end as we also talk about "vaccine judgment" and how to think through relationships and have more productive conversations with people who feel differently than you about this issue.  __ Be sure to talk with your own doctor before making medica...

Walking by faith is hard especially when you are feeling overwhelmed and afraid.  Don’t I know it!  But one thing I have seen, if we look for God in these moments- these are the times we can witness the beauty and faithfulness of God in new and amazing ways. Today I talk about one of my battles as a mom of kids with life threatening food allergies. 

I'm back after a long break and have quite a story to tell you. If you often feel overwhelmed, this episode is for you. Here I will share with you what I have had to do in the last month to manage stress, anxiety, and overwhelm—and what you can do, too!

 Erica Schuelke woke up one morning to walk her dog in the beautiful California sunshine as usual and a few moments later nearly lost her life.  She joins me to share her story of fear, faith and a second chance at living an intentional life. 

 Rest, self-care, and sleep—so important. But most of us are lacking in each of these areas.  We were not created to go, go, go 24/7, but the culture we live in doesn’t accept much less.  In this episode, I talk about how we can slow down and exactly what we will experience when we do. 

 Having faith is a journey that ebbs and flows. Even after years of knowing God, sometimes I have great faith and sometimes not so much.  Yet when we are paying attention and listening God will speak in unique and incredible ways to remind us that He is closer than we realize.  Today I share a story of how God made that very clear to me. 

 Vaccinating our kids was a big decision for our family and I talked with many specialists who helped me make an informed decision.  Today my sister, pediatrician Dr. Krissy Satchi, joins me to answer many of the questions that you might be asking.  Some of the studies that we speak of are linked below: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/2773981 https://fortune.com/2021/05...

 We have heard that we can do hard things. So where do we begin? Today I am sharing practices that I have been using both for myself and my clients when we are faced with overwhelm, frustration, confusion or just looking for direction. Talking about the practices we know from the research that will help as well as spiritually what God has to say about these moments in our lives. 

I couldn't think of a better person to have on the podcast this Mother's Day than my mama. Dr. Raji Satchi is a pediatrician who has been caring for her patients for the last 45 years.  She is a mother to three adult daughters and knows a lot about raising kids. Her faith is inspiring and I'm so grateful for what she is sharing with all of us today.  

I don't know about you but I have those moments when I know I'm not enough. Easter is a good reminder that I actually don't have to be.  In this episode I talk about why now I'm just fine with that.  

Go Shorty! All Things Life is 1 Year Old! Today we look back on a year of conversations and stories from SoulFull Sundays. It's amazing what a year brings and how much you forget.  I'm so grateful to all of you who continue to listen and support the podcast.   Looking forward to sharing a look back on our wellness episodes next week.  

So none of us thought we’d be here one year later, but here we are.  My dear friend Dr. Nikki Greene and I talk about what this year has brought to the table for many of us.  Dr. Green is an assistant professor of Art History at Wellesley College and shares her journey over the last year which is nothing short of inspiring.  Today we celebrate how far all of us have come in the face of a global pa...

This is probably my most favorite talk that I have ever done from 2019.  I was in a room full of over 200 women and there was an electrifying energy there.  I talk about purpose because we struggle with this a lot, yet God is so willing to show us what this really means if we are willing to let go of our own ideas and embrace His.  Hope it blesses you today. 

 As we end February I wanted to invite a few beloved friends to talk about how to celebrate black history month in a way that honors Black people.  They share what this month means to them as Black people, how we can talk to our kids about it and what we should continue to think about the other 11 months of the year so that our efforts this month truly mean something.  I know this conversation wil...

 Many people I know have hit a wall this past week.  Feeling depleted, overwhelmed or just tired.. but we don't have to go it alone.  This week I talk about how we are never called to do life in our own strength and what can happen when we choose faith over fear.  

This pandemic has been a difficult time to navigate relationships especially with older parents. Today I continue the conversation on caregiving and aging parents with Psychologist Dr. Kristen Abbott who shares her professional expertise  and personal experience with us on the joys and challenges of the sandwich generation. 

 Is it true that God really won't give you more than you can handle? Rebecca Gallagher shares her story about caring for her father who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. Whether you can relate to the situation of aging parents or not, she has a powerful message for anyone who is facing something they never asked for especially in this season. 

Inauguration Day seemed like the perfect day to talk about what happens when all of us come together regardless of beliefs for the greater good.  Dr. Krissy Satchi and Carrie Amos, LCSW join me in this episode to talk about what they witnessed in Operation Christmas Miracle and the incredible power we wield together.  Do we dare dream bigger together for the rest of 2021?

 It's been a year and we are only 17 days in!  Off social media, I've had time to think about a lot of things.  Here are my new year thoughts about distraction, living with intention, the implications of race and the insurrection. 

 It's been a year.  For many of you hope is hard to find right now and we all get that.  Is 2021 really going to be that different?  Pastor Brenda Thorn of Hillsong NY talks about where we can find hope no matter what happens in the next few months.  This is a great episode to end this year offering perspective and truth to take us into the new year. 

Talking about what it means to make room this Christmas to experience the true blessings of the season in this final episode in our advent series. How do we make room for God and what do we need to let go of to walk by faith. My Bronx-turned-Texan friend Sonia Thomas joins me once again to close out this holiday series.
