Off Duty

Back in 2019, I started this podcast because moms don’t get enough off-duty time. I’m a mama, a case manager and this is where the hats come off and we say the quiet part out loud. Off Duty starts now.

Not Good At Couch 15.05.2025

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

Go Fix Yourself 08.05.2025

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 + Failure. 01.05.2025

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

Jumps & Leaps 17.04.2025

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...

The "Medicine" We Need More Of. 10.04.2025

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...

No Seat Fillers Needed. 03.04.2025

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....

Change Your Question. 27.03.2025

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

Don't Be a Rotten Tomato. 20.03.2025

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.

Oh, it's very real. 13.03.2025

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

You Can't Drive! 06.03.2025

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 King Of Kindergarten 20.02.2025

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...

In My No Era! 13.02.2025

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

Why Lie? 30.01.2025

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...

Love Thy Self 23.01.2025

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

Why You Aren't Happy. 16.01.2025

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...

Lose The Weight (It's Not What You Think) 09.01.2025

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

Respectfully, I don't care. 02.01.2025

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...

Rejection is Redirection 19.12.2024

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...

Just Being Honest. 12.12.2024

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

Not Changing, Your Choosing 05.12.2024

It is all in the title...so lets chat.

Personally...Me? 21.11.2024

I've have continued on with my manifestation and over the year have found one golden rule to manifest minus negativity, and actually 4.0 my life. That rule is to NOT take things personally. No matter what you think, we can look past the clowns, the impersonators, and the "friends" that are just listening in to wait or watch for the failure. DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY. So lets chat, and tackle...

Show Up 14.11.2024

Making time to show up, being there to show up, loving what you do in order to show up, makes you stand out. It isn't just about having a podcast for me, it is about showing up. It is about doing what I love, and making sure it continues to make me happy each and every time. So that is why I show up. xx Deana

Time Out Time 07.11.2024

I needed...I still do need a time out. A mental break, a mindful moment, or just taking time for me. We all need it in this crazy, go quick world, so then why don't we? xx Deana

Fab Over 40 24.10.2024

Not only is the title of this podcast the contest I am in and loving all those that are supporting me so far (THANK YOU), but it is also what I am giving off as I entered my 40s. I felt renewed, alive again, and happy to be busy versus bored. I took this episode this week to dig into why I am always busy, and why it is such another level to be busy and successful. So join me this week as we talk a...

Final Curtain Call 17.10.2024

Last night marked the very last Posche Fashion Show... and it was a goodie. I journey down memory lane of all things with Kim D. and finally say goodbye to the fashion show that made reality TV so buzzworthy. xoxo Kim love you forever. Deana
