Season 20 Ep 07: Fighting for Fatherhood Dec 18, 2024

In this episode, we sit down with Keu Reyes, a father who shares his deeply personal and heartbreaking story of being alienated from his children. His journey is raw, emotional, and full of hard truths that too many fathers face but don’t talk about.

His journey inspired him to create ReMinding Yourself, a podcast dedicated to helping other dads facing similar struggles.

If you or a father you know, is battling for connection or simply want to understand the challenges so many dads face, this conversation is for you. Learn more and subscribe at ReMindingYourself.com

Season 20 Ep 5: Accountability is a hell of a drug! Dec 03, 2024

Accountability is a game changer! It’s super humbling yes… BUT it removes the shame from your choices and circumstances. Accountability is the ability to take responsibility for one's actions, decisions, and behaviors, and to accept the consequences But why is accountability so hard? It's largely because we aren't very good at admitting when we've made mistakes. It sucks! In fact, scientifically, our brains will naturally do whatever they can to justify our actions so that we feel better about our decisions. The LACK of accountability is when we fail to accept our own shortcomings and mistakes. Is that YOU?

Season 20 Ep 4: We all judge! Let’s be honest Dec 03, 2024

Yes, almost everyone judges others at some point. Judging is a natural part of human behavior and instinct that's difficult to suppress. Here are some reasons why:

• It's easy: Judging is simple and doesn't require much thought or reasoning.

• It's automatic: Our brains are wired to make automatic judgments about others' behaviors.

• It's evolutionary: Early humans needed to quickly assess threats and opportunities in their environment.

• It's based on scripts: We make judgments based on pre-programmed mindsets or scripts.

What are some things you judge squad? Drop it in the comments.

Season 20 Ep 2: What is HAPPINESS anyways? Dec 03, 2024

What is happiness? Everyone has their own definition of happiness. And truthfully happiness looks different for everyone. Happiness looks different for people especially at different ages. We are the ones that decide what happiness is for our own individual self. What makes you happy, may not make me happy and guess what that’s OK. Is society so programmed to believe that only certain things will bring you happiness? You choose and you decide what happiness looks like for you. Let’s celebrate other people’s happiness, it’s doesn’t have to look like our happiness. We are all on unique paths, rock your happiness and be happy for others as well.

Season 20 Ep 1: Own it Nov 19, 2024

Owning who you are is the idea of accepting yourself completely, including your strengths and weaknesses, and living life without regrets or apology. It can also mean understanding and embracing your core identity. Own your decisions, and own who you are, but without apology.

So many times we doubt our decisions. We look at what others are doing and think if we should be changing our style and point of view to fit the larger market. And the answer is not a resounding NO but a be open to the new, take in what resonates but always hold on to your true self. If you are not speaking your truth, whose are you speaking?

Season 19 Ep 11: The over sexualization of society: Will it be our downfall Oct 30, 2024

Blame it on the internet, or blame it on the misogynistic culture we live in, one things for sure… we can’t escape the sexualization of just about everything these days it seems. Is it that the access to sex has become easier over the years? Maybe it’s the instinctive fear and panic that we feel when we think about our children (or any children) getting hurt by a predator? Or maybe it’s our own past traumas and experiences mixed with the saturation of sexual content that makes us just shut down when it comes to actually educating ourselves and our kids about sex? We’re not sure what the exact culprit is, but we do know that a good place to start is by opening dialogue about the things that make us uncomfortable or scared.

Season 18 Ep 5: Feeling stuck lately? Unstuck yourself. Aug 27, 2024

Ever feel just fed up? Stuck? Maybe even a little depressed?

WELL - join the club lol! WHY? Because we’re human and ALL of us are having a human experience.

There are TONS of things that can make us feel this way:

- A Breakup

- Loss of a job or opportunity

- A misunderstanding with a friend or family

- A disappointing outcome

- A series of bad/emotional choices

And YES - It sucks. Every single time!

Usually when we feel like this our first instinct is to do something drastic in response to feel like we’re in "control of the situation”. That is nothing but an emotion fueled response. OPPOSITE of an emotionally intelligent response. Join the conversation as we dive deep into to this conversation.

Season 17 Ep 11 - Cultura and Cash with Gigi the first gen mentor Aug 04, 2024

Today, we sat down with Gigi, a financial educator and bestselling author of Cultura & Cash! She's on a mission to empower first-generation students and young professionals of color entering the workplace to confidently manage their money, pay off debt, build generational wealth, and gain financial freedom. The first-generation and BIPOC experience often comes without a roadmap aka guidance, insight, and knowledge enjoyed by many of our peers around navigating higher education and professional spaces.

As a first-gen Latina, she's experienced the discomfort and overwhelm that comes from attempting to manage, invest, and grow her income as the first in the family to enter these spaces. She's experienced reaching the level of success her family dreamed of, and has the desire to give back and uplift the same people who sacrificed so much to help get her here.

Season 17 Ep: 8 Say YES to life Jul 27, 2024

For most of us, our immediate reply is “no.” Yes, we even think “no” because our brains are so good at coming up with reasons for why we can’t do things. I can’t take time off work. I have to do a mountain of laundry. I don’t feel good in any of my going-out outfits. This is just another example of how we put our lives on hold for One Day When… we’re thinner, richer, smarter, or whatever criticism we’re feeling particularly strongly that day. What does it mean to say “yes” to life — to surrender to what is! Can you, truly, say “yes” to life?

Season 17 Ep 5: SOLITUDE VS. LONLINESS Jul 22, 2024

It's essential to differentiate solitude from isolation or loneliness. We define solitude as a healthy, personal discipline that allows you to engage in meaningful self-reflection. Loneliness, however, is a state of “sadness”because one has no friends or company. Although loneliness and solitude are sometimes used interchangeably, they are not the same thing. Today, we dive deep into the difference between both and how when you learn to embrace solitude you can really enhance your life in such a beautiful way.

Season 17 Ep 3: Adversity is important Jul 13, 2024

So let’s talk about this. ANY time you are trying to align yourself with your purpose, when you’re trying to be obedient, when you’re trying to level up, EXPECT adversity to come your way! It’s like the tax we pay for the new level we’re about to reach. Like the saying goes… NEW levels, NEW devils It’s not fun. The timing is usually wrong, and oftentimes it’s a great inconvenience, but you should expect it and be prepared for it. But if you stop and pause you realize that adversity actually has a positive effect on our lives! CRAZY WE KNOW! Let's talk about it...

Season 17 Ep 2: What’s a Self-Contract? Jul 09, 2024

I’m sure that you’ve probably seen every kind of contract there is. After all, you’ve made contracts with your vendors, your clients, your freelancers and your employees. You even have a contract with your spouse! If you want to achieve your personal goals and be productive day in, day out, we propose you create a self-contract so you’ll stay focused on your goals. A self-contract is kind of commitment where you write down what you want to achieve as well as how to achieve it. Often, it also clearly states any rewards for completing the contract as well as any penalties for breaking it. We know what you’re thinking: “Well, I don’t think having a contract with myself will work for me.” Well a contract, even one that you make with yourself, is a powerful motivator.

Season 16 Ep 12: Don't be your own worst enemy Jun 25, 2024

We wanted to have this conversation to bring this topic front and center as we start a new year. There’s something symbolic of a fresh new year right? Feels like a new opportunity to get it right! But HOW will you get it right this year if your habits are the same? SPECIFICALLY your SELF betraying habits? It’s sad but we think most people will agree that…It's much easier to be your own enemy than your truest friend. WHY you ask? We dive deep into this topic on today's episode.

Season 16 Ep 11: Word of the year Jun 17, 2024

As 2023 gets underway, the chatter about resolutions will persist.

People want to exercise more, read more books, unplug from devices, and drink their requisite amount of water every day. For several years, we fell into the trap of making resolutions but quickly realized that that lost traction. So, we decided several years ago to switch it up from resolutions to a word or phrase of the year. Our WORD implementation has helped us both tremendously focus on that word or phrase all year, but it especially helps as a reminder when things get confusing or hazy. WHAT WILL YOUR WORD or PHRASE OF THE YEAR BE?

Humans are 70% Biology and 30% Psychology...While modern psychology tends to look at a person as 100% personality, Unani BioTypes takes the biology behind behavior into account as well. DO YOU KNOW HOW YOU'RE BIOLOGICALLY DESIGNED?

Melancholic, Choleric, Sanguine, and Phlegmatic— have been used to analyze personalities for over two thousand years, since the time of Aristotle and Hippocrates.

Your unique biological makeup is called your temperament. It’s the “why” behind your personality. It determines how people interpret words, actions, relationships, and respond to them.

Season 16 Ep 1: The POWER of asking the right questions Jan 26, 2024

We live in a world that values answers. We were taught in school to learn how to answer questions in exams, we were conditioned to go to work knowing that we need to have the answers and our society, by and large, focuses on finding the solutions rather than figuring out if we are asking the right questions. Just like most people who have been through the traditional education system and started working in a corporate job, were trained to have the answers. We would like to shed some light on the skill of asking the right questions. For some people, questioning comes easily. Their natural inquisitiveness, emotional intelligence, and ability to read people put the ideal question on the tip of their tongue. But most of us don’t ask enough questions, nor do we pose our inquiries in an optimal way. Today's episode we dive deep into the conversation.

Season 15 Ep 11: Doing Nothing is Actually One of the Best Things You Can Do Jan 16, 2024

In a world full of major stressors and to-do lists, it can be difficult finding the time to just do well, absolutely nothing. But, here is why you should start.

When was the last time you did nothing?

By nothing, we mean absolutely nothing- no scrolling on social media, no reading books or articles, no lisening to podcasts, no watching movies, TV, or youtube videos.

Well if you are like many Americans, you'll probably have to stop and think about it, because we don't "do nothing" very often.

Americans need to take a chill pill.

Sadly, so much of our doingness has resulted from a cultured brain washing that tells us that compulstive busyness is a requisite for being a decent human being and decent employee. As a result, workaholic behaviors like checking your email during off hours or going into the office on the weekend have become a norm for many.

"The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man that lives fully is prepared to die at any time"- Mark Twain.

Season 15 Ep 3: Be extraordinary Sep 26, 2023

Only the bold will be able to go from ordinary to extraordinary. The larger part of society will never experience true success. Why? Because the majority of people are unwilling to become the CEO of their life — they’d rather someone else call the shots. The more you evolve into the best version of yourself, the more you’ll be required to give up. To be extraordinary is no easy task and not for everyone, but TRULY, who doesn't want an extraordinary life? Remember, Extraordinary lives don’t just happen. _________________________________________________________ For FULL EPISODE in Audio & Video subscribe to our podcast Patreon.com/straightupsisters Follow us on IG: @straightupsistersthepodcast @raqcsworld @lasusie Follow us on YOUTUBE: Straight Up Sisters Podcast Email us: StraightUpSistersThePodcast@gmail.com

Season 15 Ep 2: Attachment Styles & Their role in relationships Sep 19, 2023

It’s human nature to seek contact and relationships, to seek love, support, and comfort in others. In fact, the "need to belong" is one of the main forces that drives individuals. From an evolutionary perspective, cultivating strong relationships and maintaining them has both survival and reproductive advantages. After all, most of us do "need to belong" and do want closeness and intimacy in our lives. Yet, love and relationships are rarely as perfect and problem-free as we would like them to be. Maybe you have never really thought through or analyzed your behavior in relationships. Still, you might have noticed repeating patterns in your love life. Have you wondered why you keep ending up in the same situation, even with different partners? Today, we have Adam Lane Smith on the show, an attachment specialist, breaking down the 4 different attachment styles and how you can become aware of them. __________________________________________________________ For FULL EPISODE in Audio & Video subscribe to our podcast Patreon.com/straightupsisters Follow us on IG: @straightupsistersthepodcast @raqcsworld @lasusie @attachmentadam Follow us on YOUTUBE: Straight Up Sisters Podcast Email us: StraightUpSistersThePodcast@gmail.com

Season 14 EP#11: Let's talk Birth Order Aug 30, 2023

Birth order is the theory that claims that the order in which a child is born into their family helps shape their development and personality. For example: Are you the oldest bossy one? Maybe you're the middle distant one? Or perhaps you're the carefree baby of the bunch? Although not scientifically backed, it cannot be a coincidence that most of us will display the same or similar qualities regardless of where on the planet we are born. We get into this topic and a little bit more, with our guest Esther Rosales, LMFT as she shed's some light on why we may move the way we do. Get ready to learn some thangs!

Season 14 Ep #5: Living vs Existing... where do you stand? Jun 14, 2023

In the words of the famous poet Oscar Wilde “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist.” And that is the sad reality. Lean into this conversation as we unpack the differences between living and existing, which often times get confused because while both terms mean to remain alive - they are often used in different content as it pertains to life. For example: EXISTING is often referred to as doing what you need to do to just get by day to day while LIVING often refers to he or she that is out there intentionally enjoying and savoring every moment of their journey. In other words: Living means to be present and submerged in the NOW while existing means your living a life devoid of control or options. _______________________________________ For FULL EPISODE in AUDIO & VIDEO subscribe to our podcast on Patreon.com/StraightUpSisters Follow us on IG: @straightupsistersthepodcast @raqcsworld @lasusie Follow us on YOUTUBE: Straight Up Sisters Podcast Email us: StraightUpSistersThePodcast@gmail.com

Season 14 Ep#4: The power of FLEXIBILITY May 31, 2023

Staying flexible is the key to longevity, not just in terms of the body, but also in mind and spirit. Flexibility- the ability to move naturally, change directions easily, and compromise when appropriate -FLEXIBILITY is a wonderful quality to posses. True flexibility isn't forced upon us (though sometimes we learn to be flexible the hard way). Flexibility is a natural quality that comes from within, from our true God-given nature. It makes much more sense to be flexible - to "bend" rather than "break." All we need to do is look at which trees survive storms - the ones that bend. And yet, sometimes we feel so compelled to hold onto our own way of thinking or acting; we are so convinced that our way is the right way; and we refuse to compromise at all. This episode will break down the POWER of being flexible and how it can enhance our life in such a beautiful way. Don't be so stuck in your ways and lean into this conversation. ____________________________________________________ For FULL EPISODE in AUDIO & VIDEO subscribe to our podcast on Patreon.com/StraightUpSisters Follow us on IG: @straightupsistersthepodcast @raqcsworld @lasusie Follow us on YOUTUBE: Straight Up Sisters Podcast Email us: StraightUpSistersThePodcast@gmail.com

Season 14 Ep#2: Keep showing up for YOURSELF! May 17, 2023

Showing up for you means being mindful and present with each moment, opportunities and/or experiences. Showing up to our daily life is all about giving ourselves permission to LIVE, learn, correct course and THRIVE without regret or fear of doing it wrong. Too many of us spend the day worried about the what if’s. Over thinking the things that haven’t even happened. Faces buried in social media experiencing other peoples lives instead of being an active participant our own lives. LIKE WTF? How is that fulfilling? Life has a way of taking over and sweeping us up SO showing up for it won’t be an accident. We have to do it ON PURPOSE! __________________________________________________ For FULL EPISODE in AUDIO & VIDEO subscribe to our podcast on Patreon.com/straightupsisters Follow us on IG: @straightupsistersthepodcast @raqcsworld @lasusie Follow us on YOUTUBE: Straight Up Sisters Podcast Email us: StraightUpSistersThePodcast@gmail.com

Season 14 Ep#1: PAY ATTENTION to the Green Flags too! May 10, 2023

We hear a lot about what’s bad in relationships, or about the so-called red flags. But what’s important is to have relationships that go the distance. The positive indicators, or green flags, to look for that tell us that we are in a safe and healthy relationship. Red flags tell us it might be time to end a relationship, while green flags are positive signals that a relationship will make it through the long haul. Green flags demonstrate someone’s character, openness, values, and more. Knowing some of the most common red and green flags allows you to be more confident you’re heading in the right direction and take steps to strengthen a budding relationship. This episode will help you be more alert to being able to spot a green flags and build on them. ________________________________________________ For FULL EPISODE in AUDIO & VIDEO subscribe to our podcast on Patreon.com/straightupsisters Follow us on IG: @straightupsistersthepodcast @raqcsworld @lasusie Follow us on YOUTUBE: Straight Up Sisters Podcast Email us: StraightUpSistersThePodcast@gmail.com

Season 13 Ep#11: Proper Etiquette in the 21st Century Apr 26, 2023

What is Etiquette? The customary code of polite behavior in society or among members of a particular profession or group. Are we practicing proper etiquette enough these days? The answer is NO! Manners are important because they outline the basics of how we should behave and how we expect others to behave towards us. All manners traditionally convey one or more of the 3 Principles of Etiquette: Respect, Consideration, and Honesty. During this conversation with Jules Hirst we dive deep into the different type of etiquettes that exist and should be practiced quite often. From social, dining, email and social media etiquette, the conversation encompasses it ALL. TAKE YOUR NOTEBOOKS OUT because this information is valuable and can be passed down to your family to use in different situations. __________________________________ For FULL EPISODE in AUDIO & VIDEO subscribe to our podcast on Patreon.com/straightupsisters Follow us on IG: @straightupsistersthepodcast @raqcsworld @lasusie Follow us on YOUTUBE: Straight Up Sisters Podcast Email us: StraightUpSistersThePodcast@gmail.com

Season 13 Ep#10: Respond vs. React Apr 19, 2023

What happens when we PAUSE? Have you ever considered how that would change your life and the interactions you would have if you simply took the time to pause versus react. Giving yourself permission to pause will open the door for you to respond (empowering your future) vs. react (empowering your past). We usually want to react because we've been triggered. This conversation gets real GOOD! __________________________________ For FULL EPISODE in AUDIO & VIDEO subscribe to our podcast on Patreon.com/straightupsisters Follow us on IG: @straightupsistersthepodcast @raqcsworld @lasusie Follow us on YOUTUBE: Straight Up Sisters Podcast Email us: StraightUpSistersThePodcast@gmail.com

Season 13 Ep#9: Divine Detours Apr 12, 2023

Today's episode is all about "DIVINE DETOURS." What we may think of as something that is getting in the way, a loss, or a failed relationship, may actually be a divine detour. A step to getting you to the actual place where you belong, where you were meant to be. We may not always understand "divine detours" but we need to learn to flow with them. They are disguised blessings and once we understand that we will flow with them in a more easier manner. Allow the "divine detours" space in your life, don't fight the funk...let things flow! Don't fight it, flow with it. __________________________________ For FULL EPISODE in AUDIO & VIDEO subscribe to our podcast on Patreon.com/straightupsisters Follow us on IG: @straightupsistersthepodcast @raqcsworld @lasusie Follow us on YOUTUBE: Straight Up Sisters Podcast Email us: StraightUpSistersThePodcast@gmail.com

Season 13 EP#2: The POWER of WORDS! Feb 22, 2023

Have you ever stopped to consider just how powerful WORDS actually are? We use them daily and many times we don’t think of the impact our words have on those on the receiving end (good or bad), BUT what’s worse is knowing how destructive our words can be and saying it anyway OR knowing how healing our words can be and refraining from using them for good. “Intentionally negative words can lower self-esteem and kill enthusiasm, while well chosen, positive words on the other hand, can motivate and encourage dreams.” -Kristen Houghton, Blogger for HuffPost

Season 12 EP#9: Is your emotional baggage holding you back? Dec 14, 2022

We all carry around an invisible mental weight. A few classic signs would be: growing dependency, insecurity, commitment issues, and emotional unavailability. And sometimes the company we keep, the jobs we keep around, or the traumas we allow to grow contribute to the emotional baggage. As humans, we respond to experiences emotionally and carry out perceived views of the consequences with us into new experiences. The key to healthier functionality lies in learning to manage our perceptions and strengthen ourselves as we mature in order to respond to our daily experience in healthier ways. In this episode we drop tools on what can help you manage and release your emotional baggage you are currently carrying! Tune in and Dive DEEP with this one.

Everyone tells you wedding planning is going to be emotionally exhausting, but no one tells you it’s that much more so if you have a deep-seated, seemingly unshakable need to be liked by everyone you encounter. It’s an exhausting way to go through life, for that matter. Many people connect their self-worth with the number of people who like them, rather than how they feel about themselves. It's a sad way to live. In this episode we dive deep into the psychological side of why people are like this. What does it come down to?

Season 12 EP#3: NO. Is a complete sentence! Nov 02, 2022

"No” is a word most of us use too infrequently. And, what’s worse, when we say “No” we usually add on all sorts of unnecessary explanations to ease the equally unnecessary feeling of guilt that come along with it. But let us all remember that “No” is a complete sentence.

In simple terms saying “no” is basically about creating personal boundaries that allow you to focus YOUR time doing the things that will make the most impact in your life.

Marinate on this for a second: If we don’t know how to say ”NO” to things, then saying “YES” loses is specialness.
