Out of an abundance of caution. Social distancing. Pandemic. A slew of new vocabulary has been thrown our way in the past 3 weeks as the world has been turned upside down and subsequently put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic. On today’s podcast, I share how our family is adjusting to our #stayhome orders. I share ways that I’m managing my anxiety and panic attacks, as well as how I’m trying to reframe my mindset. It’s really easy to see all of the negativity right now. To see what we can’t do, can’t have and where we can’t go. BUT, the more we think about that, the more it negatively affects our mental health. As someone who has struggled with anxiety and mental health for a while, I know that if I don’t keep a positive mindset, I can easily spiral into an unhealthy place for not only myself, but my family. So, today I’m talking about how I’m choosing to see the bright side of my current situation. I’m talking about how we can reframe our mindset to make this time a welcome interruption so that we can stay mentally healthy. Please go to @rockthislifepodcast on Facebook […]

Today’s podcast guest is Sarah Garcia Azad, founder of Humble Bebe. Sarah is an award winning product developer and mother of two adorable boys. After having kids, she took the leap into creating her own business. A little over a year ago, Sarah launched Humble Bebe with high quality cloth diapers on Amazon. Today we talk about her process. We talk about how growing up as the child of an entrepreneur inspired her as a business owner. We also dive into how she chose cloth diapers as her initial product, how she went from concept to creation, and the innovative new products she is releasing now. Sarah also shares some gems on finding balance, like the under-utilized art of delegating. This is a concept I’m actively trying to implement more in my life. What, if anything do you delegate in your life? Do you feel like it frees up your time for what matters most? Comment here or reach out on social and let us know how you #delegatetodominate !

A couple weeks ago, a man climbed out the side of his 6th floor apartment during a building fire. As I watched it unfold on the news, I couldn’t help but think, would I do that? Would I be willing to risk it all? Today on the podcast, I dive into my own apprehension to taking risks and discuss how I’m challenging myself to try and see the reward beyond the perceived risks. I inherently rely on safe bets and sure things…but sometimes in life, you have to take risks for greater rewards.

What happens when you have spent 10 years busting your behind to move up in your career, you are VP, and you aren’t fulfilled. Well, if you are like Heather Klass, co-founder of Little Lamma, you take a giant leap of faith. About two years ago, Heather had worked her way up to VP of Finance and Operations at a Digital Agency in Los Angeles. She was working long hours and bending over backwards to be not only an incredible career woman, but also an incredible mother to her two boys. After some soul searching and company shifts, she made the incredibly brave decision to quit. She had no job lined up. No solid plan. But she knew that what she was doing didn’t resonate with her anymore and she needed to make a change. She eventually through contract work teamed up with Little Lamma, a concierge gifting service, and became their third co-founder. On today’s podcast, we dive into what it was like to leave her job without a safety net in place. How it is now, working for a small three-woman start-up team, and how she finds balance navigating life as a kick-booty career woman and mom of […]

Sometimes life is interrupted, and sometimes it shatters before your eyes on a random Monday morning. Three months ago, my daughter fell and fractured her skull. And I haven’t written or really talked about it since it happened. Writing has always been a kind of mental release for me. For some reason when I put it on paper (or a computer screen) and out into the universe, it allows me to let go. It allows the thoughts, fears or insecurities cycling in my mind to slow down. When I had a traumatic birth experience, I wrote about it. When I had a miscarriage, I wrote about it. When I was suffering from postpartum anxiety and depression, I wrote about it. But, when Emerson fell and fractured her skull, I did not write about it. I didn’t talk about it. I avoided conversations about it. I convinced myself that once we passed the three month mark where we didn’t have to walk on eggshells in fear of any slight bump to the head I would just move on with life as usual forgetting about that morning. But out of nowhere, this week, I got sucked into a mommy war on Facebook […]

What is a life coach? I must confess, I wasn’t quite sure what exactly a life coach did, but after sitting down with Stephen Lovegrove, America’s Life Coach, I have a much better idea. I met Stephen when we co-hosted an after show for NBC’s Boy Band, a very short lived reality competition seeking to create the hottest new boy band. Stephen was a spitfire of a human, and the kind of person that naturally draws you in. He is happy. He is full of energy, and it is infectious. So when I got the chance to sit down and chat with him, I was genuinely excited to hear his insight on life in general. We chatted about ‘signs’, finding life’s elevator moments, and what happens when you decide to show up differently in your life. We also got the chance to dive into Stephen’s journey, which is incredibly fascinating. He grew up as a gay man in a fundamentalist cult in the southeast, and later went on to work at Disney and SoulCycle on his journey to settle into a career as a life coach. He has been featured on MTV, NBC, Business Insider, LA Times, Huffington Post and […]
