What Makes Me Well with Asatta Jones Asatta Jones

Hey Wellness Warriors, the pod is back with a fresh new episode for your ears! I’m so excited for you all to listen to this one. On this episode, I sit down with Jennifer Tomlinson. Jennifer is the host of the Black Woman Be Well podcast and Interm Dean of Learning Support at Valencia College.

This episode was so fun to do y’all, I genuinely forgot I was interviewing Jennifer at one point! We laugh a LOT on this episode but Jennifer also gets serious with me and shares the steps she took to improve the well-being of her career and bring it into alignment with what her true purpose is. We also take a hilarious trip down memory lane in Best Breakup reminiscing about the dumb mistakes we’ve made in past romantic relationships. You don’t want to miss out on THAT conversation!
Enjoy Warriors!
xx, Asatta

Hey Wellness Warriors, welcome back to another episode!

I know I say it almost every episode but I really do mean it every time, I’m so excited for you to listen to this episode! This week, I’m bringing you a conversation with my newest friend, the delightful Kristy Katzmann.
Kristy is the host of The Life Unscripted Podcast and the former star of Fox’s reality dating show, Labor of Love.

Kristy is such a wonderful person with such an inspiring story. I can say first hand that her story changes lives because it changed mine! In the episode, we talk about how her financial health and her money mindset influenced her choice to pursue motherhood as a single mother and we discuss Kristy’s current recipe for her well-being.

Spoiler alert— caffeine is not a part of her recipe and I did not keep my cool about it.
Enjoy, Warriors!

Hey Wellness Warriors! I’m back with a guest this week and I could not be happier about it! After nearly a year of remote recordings, I sat down - socially distanced, of course - with my very dear friend, Cariluz Torres to record this pod. It felt so nice to sit in the same room and record an episode and you can definitely hear the excitement in my voice! Cari and I talk about a few things:

-How we met & the pole effect , AKA how pole dancing can be truly life changing.

-Cari’s yoga practice and the importance of discovering your Soul Family.

- Balancing parenting and entrepreneurship

But mainly, we talk about Cari’s Occupational Pillar of Wellness and how Cari maintained her well-being throughout the big transition that 2020 brought her career. Enjoy, Warriors!

“No Shame. Just Sharing”
Hey hey heyyy Wellness Warriors! In this first episode of the Pillars of Wellness series, I’m interviewing debt-free money coach and Millennial Money Guide, Ayana Campbell Smith. Ayana and I talk about her support system and what keeps her on the right track & able to guide Millennial women to financial independence. We also talk about the harm not talking about money and your relationship with it can do to you and how absurd it is that it’s seen as impolite to talk about something we all need, use and want!
