Yarpulo Radio Yari Pujols

I want to thank everyone who has been a part of Yarpulo Radio. It has been amazing to see all the feedback I've gotten which has been extremely rewarding for me. I've enjoyed putting together each episode even though it was a pain in the ass sometimes. 

My future plans for Yarpulo Radio is to continuing recording relatable stories from different and interesting individuals. I feel that the more we hear and see how we are all alike in some way will help each and everyone of us become more motivated in our own lives. That we can all achieve the same things regardless of our upbringing or circumstance. 

It's an amazing feeling to have done so many things in the past few months. We can put something off for so long, but when we actually set out to do it, the feeling is so fulfilling.

I hope to build more content for Yarpulo Radio very soon. If you enjoyed the episode, please leave a comment or review on itunes and share it will your friends. I'd love to get your feedback and suggestions.

Katie has been my broker for the past few years she is a tenacious women who has made a name for herself in the real estate industry. She has been a great influence in my life and someone I have turned to for advance many times.

I came to find out about her relationship with a fellow colleague when they decided to announce it publicly. It was a big surprise because they keep it so hush hush and I never saw any indication of them being romantic with each other.

Once I was able to watch them interact with each other, I could see how great they were for each other. It seems pretty rare these days to see two people come together so beautifully. As though two souls have perfectly connected with each other.

We all strive to find that connection, whether it is with a loved one, friend, or family member. The feeling of connecting in a way where you understand each others worlds. When communication is simply the way you work through problems and life situations. This is what most of us hope for and to see it in person is truly a miracle. Hear more about how they met and grew their relationship in this weeks podcast.

Growing up I was a very quiet and introverted child. I constantly felt like and outsider and never really understood why. Even when I was in second grade my teacher notice how I kept to myself and would come in the class room feeling sad and alone. She gathered the kids in that class to cheer me up by saying "we love you yari" when I didn't feel included.

This was the beginning of finding my self in a sea of personalities. There are those that seem to just click in a way that I could not. I enjoyed my alone time though. It was where my mind could wander and my creativity could shine.

As I grew older, I wanted more connections with those around me. Especially when I entered public school. I had a childhood friend that lived next to me growing up. She was the crutch I leaned on my first day. I entered a place that had 10x as many kids as the small private school I came from. It made me feel uncomfortable and lost. It was also the first time I could wear whatever I wanted to school, which lead me to hating myself. Trying to piece together what one would call a cool outfit was out of the question because my mom would buy my clothes and I'd wear them without much question. Now, I entered a place that wore name brands such as Abercrombie and Fitch. Definitely not something my mom was willing to buy because it was so expensive.

So I had to work with what I had in my closet. I hated my closet. It was a mixture of old trends and nothing that was what I saw others wearing. I remembered going to school one day and thinking I looked terrible and that everything on my body didn't compare to what others were wearing. It made me feel like I wasn't good enough and ugly. My self-esteem was torn apart.

I would come home crying to myself until one day my uncle saw me and asked me what had happened. I told him I felt ugly and that I wasn't good enough. He sat me down and told me that I was beautiful no matter what anyone tells me and no matter what I'm wearing. He was a very important figure in my life that contributed to me getting over this struggle with my self. He would constantly remind me of my beauty when he could and encouraged me to see myself that way.

We all struggle as young kids in one way or another, but what can we do to improve the next generation of children. How can we encourage them to believe in themselves and not put limitations that we adults put out there? One thing we should do is encourage children to dream, and to dream big together. We need to remember that if we put our problems on them they will carry them into their lives. It is something that we should be more aware of because the future is bright if we set the tone in how to leaders.

In this episode we hear about Abby and the struggle of finding herself outside of a relationship. She is in a place where she is ready to figure out what she needs for herself, what makes her happy, and what she wants out of her next partner.

I love listening to stories and the best one's are found when you are getting to know someone and asking the right questions. In this first episode, I wanted to center it around childhood. When we are young, we go through different life experiences that shape us into adults. These stories can take on all different emotions, but the fact that we lived them and somehow find our way is an accomplishment in itself.

The story you will hear in this first episode is about a boy who grow up in a world that broke his mother's heart. She wanted more for her children, but couldn't find her way out of the ghetto. The boy saw his mother's struggle and realized that he needed to step up for his family. He hustled his way to help them which in turn allowed him to persevere the in his own life.

It's a short story, so find some time to listen to his narrative. I've really challenged myself in creating this and I hope that you can enjoy it and share it with your friends.
