If you’re an aspiring beginner runner, a sometimes runner, or a wannabe runner that daydreams about running if only you had more energy, the right clothes, weighed less, fresh joints, more hours in your day, a plan to follow, or tips to get started, then today’s episode is a must-listen. The runners gliding through your local park might be enough to motivate you to head out on the road yourself, or maybe you’re just looking for a way to be more active or lose weight. But no matter why you want to start running, it’s time to lace up and enjoy every step, well, maybe not every step, but you'll get there. For some backup, I invited the creator of the blog and Facebook group, FATGIRLRUNNING, Mirna Valerio to the show. Mirna is an ultramarathoner, teacher, National Geographic 2018 Adventurer of the Year, and author of the book, A Beautiful Work in Progress. And even if running never crosses your mind, something does. Something that u have wanted to try or succeed at, that until this point has eluded you.

| I Wanna Laugh and Find Funny in the Pain (episode 37) | 14 Mar 2018 | 00:38:47 | |
Laughter is the best medicine. It makes you feel good. But how do we laugh through the hard days and the difficult times? My guest had to face some big challenges; a father who wasn’t always present, a blown out knee in his early 20s and a dream to be a comedian that he wasn’t quite sure how to make happen. He knew he was angry, but how could he channel his anger and turn this negative emotion into something positive? With the help of a spiritual teacher and a strong desire to develop a deeper understanding of himself, Rick began a journey of self-discovery. YOU WANNA DO WHAT?! welcomes Rick "Wind" Herrera, millennial man, writer, comedian, singer, poet and actor to the podcast.

| I Wanna Ask for Help (Episode 31) | 31 Jan 2018 | 00:24:01 | |

| I Wanna Talk Beauty vs Brains (episode 29) | 17 Jan 2018 | 00:19:00 | |
Beauty sells. Social media is full of carefully curated images creating "insta famous" users overnight. These "influencers" promote products and also sell young girls, teens and women on earning quick money through beauty. What can we do to make brains just as appealing? How do we instruct girls that they are more than their appearances? Social media platforms rise in popularity while education in the United States weakens, scoring average grades in science and reading and below average in math. We talk about all this plus Chris Rock's classic joke to keep his daughters "off the pole", the Netflix series from Spike Lee, "She's Gotta Have It," why I worry about my two nieces and what would my life be if Instagram was around when I was a teenager. **Sorry, this is episode 29 - I mistakenly reference this how as episode 28** --------------- Let's Connect!
