    EP.12.ALEX.HOOPER GET ADDICTED TO PROGRESS

    What do hugs, drugs and pugs have in common? They all have special place in the heart of this weeks guest, Alex Hooper!  I had the pleasure of sitting down with Alex to talk about life and comedy and living life comically. Alex Hooper is a stand-up comedian, actor and professional roaster who delights crowds by blending dark humor with silly positivity. He is best known for his appearances on America’s Got Talent, being one of a select few contestants to have been asked to return after being eliminated. His comeback on season 15 is one of the greatest moments in televised comedy I've ever seen! In 2018 Alex released his debut comedy album Hugs. Drugs. Pugs. It hit #1 on Amazon and #3 on iTunes Best Selling Comedy Records. And in 2022 he released is sophomore comedy album Calm Down Peasants on A Special Thing Records To say Alex is a serious pug lover is an understatement. For 2018 he created The Pug Yoga Calendar to raise funds for pug rescue: Pug Nation of LA. Ellen Degeneres spotlighted the sold-out 2018 Pug Yoga Calendar on The Ellen Show. Alex has been named by Funny Or Die as one of the 15 Funniest Comics to Follow. His TV credits include: America’s Got Talent - Seasons 13 & 15 Comedy Central’s Roast Battle Comedy Central’s Corporate Fox’s New Girl TVLand Nickelodeon and the truly prodigious, Bad Girls Club. We cover a lot of terrain in this conversation. My only regret is not getting it out sooner but, it's here now and sometimes done is better than perfect! I'm on a new mission and playing catch up while moving forward. I hope you enjoy this part of the journey. Thanks for rocking with me.

    EP.10.KATERINA.BARATTA IT'S NOT YOU...IT'S THE PERSON YOU THINK YOURSELF TO BE

    EPISODE 10 It's a milestone y'all! Ten episodes seems small but feels huge for me! This weeks show dives deep into "meta" territory with Katerina Baratta, LAc, MSOM. We talk about mindfulness and a variety of its applications to everyday life. Did you know, doing the dishes can be an act of mindfulness? Katerina is a mind-body-spirit health practitioner, licensed acupuncturist, writer, and teacher. She specializes in helping women heal their relationship with food and build confidence by learning to nourish all aspects of themselves. Having completed a B.A. from the University of Vermont in Psychology, yoga teacher training, numerous medicinal herb courses, and a 5-year master’s program in Chinese medicine at the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM), Katerina works from the premise that mental health is rooted in the body, and physical health is shaped by the mind. Through a unique combination of holistic nutrition, positive psychology and wellness coaching —as well as transformative bodywork, acupuncture, medicinal herbs, yoga, and qigong— Katerina helps women adopt a nourishment mindset so they can stop the diet-binge cycle and self-sabotage, and transform more than just their body. She also teaches a course at NUNM on personalized and seasonal health and wellness, and leads workshops around the globe. Aside from MindBodyGreen, Katerina’s work has been featured in The Huffington post, Yoganonymous, WuHaus, BIWA, and her website has been recognized as a top natural health website by the Institute for the Psychology of Eating. You can connect with Katerina on her website, KaterinaBaratta.com and on Instagram, @KaterinaBaratta, where she posts about nourishment, stress management, and personal transformation.
