Ep13 - Humble & Sweaty: Barbies Birth Story
I’m chatting with my girlfriend of 15 years, Barbara (Barbie) Mercado.
From our fake ID days, to becoming stay at home moms, the stories are truly endless but today I wanted to talk specifically about her recent birth story, that didn’t go according to plan.
At 33 weeks pregnant things took a turn for the worst and she walks us through the ENTIRE thing… and doesn’t sugar coat any of it!
She shares her struggles with postpartum depression, the guilt she felt while her son was in the NICU (and not for the reason you think), plus the BIG RED FLAGS she ignored prior to going into labor (hindsight being 2020) that she wants any soon to be mamas to be aware of.

Ep10 - Sex/Life & Avocados
After a very abrupt ending to our last show, I realized I just couldn’t get enough of my cousin Thania and we HAD to do a part 2. We had tons of fun last time, but I really wanted to hear her opinions on Sex, Dating & Single-Life, how to know if you’re having an unhealthy relationship with alcohol, and much more. We also spend some time breaking down the concept behind the hit show on Netflix, Sex/Life. Also, what do sex and avocados have in common? Guess you’ll have to listen to find out!

Ep8 - Surviving Death with Michael Drummonds
As many of you may know, I have a deep curiosity and fascination with the afterlife, mediums, and all things mystical. And I came across a video on Buzzfeed about our guest today, Michal Drummonds, who had near death experience that completely changed the way he lives his life today. Fortunately, some time after the event he was able to remember every aspect that took place in the time that he was passing and recorded 5 hours of audio to capture the whole experience.
On the show, Michael shares about his spiritual life prior to his NDE (Near Death Experience), the clairvoyant interaction he had with mysterious figures during his transition, and what choices we are all truly faced with when we realize what we are all made to do in this life.
