Send us Fan Mail For 10 years, Andy Ho didn't pursue the dream he knew he had deep down.  In this conversation, I sit down with Comedian Andy, also known as HoeyFarmer, to talk about the turning point that changed everything.  As a teenager, Andy knew he wanted to be a comedian. But life took him in other directions, and that dream stayed on hold for almost a decade. It wasn't until he s...

Send us Fan Mail This conversation is raw, honest and deeply human.

Send us Fan Mail Motivation is fleeting, so how do we take action quickly before we “lose it?”  Start before you’re ready!  I’ve said it for years, perfection is paralyzing.  Tomorrow isn’t promised.  And if you don’t start NOW, when will you?  With love, Ria

Send us Fan Mail Feeling like you've hit a plateau? Stuck in old ways, old habits that no longer seem to be helping you, but rather hindering you?  This episode was inspired by people telling me this is what they're facing and experiencing right now. We all get to these cross roads from time to time, but there's more to consider than meets the eye.  Let's chat about some reason...

Send us Fan Mail Are you curious about the origins of the Equinox?

Send us Fan Mail When I think of a light hearted example of persistence, I think of kids.  They get fixated on "a want" and they'll ask a parent - "NO" Ask the other parent (lol) - "NO" Rinse and repeat, beg and plead. Cry and try every angle, every avenue until one parent, maybe both, can see how badly the child wants the thing, it must really be important to th...

Send us Fan Mail It used to control me, but now I am in control. It's funny, I hadn't ever looked up the meaning of what it entails to be deemed having an "addictive personality", I just inherently knew I fit the bill.  Addiction is usually blacklisted as "bad", but is it? Can we flip the script and learn to not only understand addictions and addictive behavior, but l...

Send us Fan Mail I've FAILED and PROCRASTINATED so much it hurts!  Not delivering episodes regularly has killed me every single week that goes by.  Why do we do this to ourselves?  Procrastinate, then feel like a failure. These "blocks" don't benefit us, they hinder us, from doing the things we truly want to do.  So here I am, months and months later again talking about time go...

Send us Fan Mail Inspired by a journal entry I wrote just after my birthday early this month, I've had this topic marinating and ready to roll out this heart to heart with you today.  There's something about birthdays, the reflection that takes place weeks or days leading up to and the post-bday reflections. A kindred path of reflections and deep pondering occur in the lead up to and pos...

Send us Fan Mail This is a story about perspective and resilience.  Anthony's story from a young lad of 21 years and what altered his life in an instant, to the now 21 year story that evolved since that day.  His book "In the Blink of an Eye" is an entertaining and informative insight into the challenges he has had to overcome. He believes we are all strong in our own ways and maybe...

Send us Fan Mail You're not alone. If you or someone you know needs this heartfelt conversation, take this as the sign you've been looking for. From being told she had two months to live, to now being in a place where she truly feels like herself and living her best life in her "third act". Jaynie is a passionate advocate for change and unity in this world and has just released...

Send us Fan Mail This conversation could have branched off into many directions, but the surprising truth is, it's not inherently "bad" to people please or fit in, until it IS.  Everything has a time and place, but if you find yourself being an incessant doormat and wall flower in your life, your unique self is being stunted from blossoming.  THIS we want to make sure does NOT happe...
