    EPISODE 2

    Sonya Yu ON: Release, embracing all facets of yourself, the beauty of co-parenting, and somatic vibe outs

    Welcome to episode 2 of season 3 everybody! I’m kicking off the first guest of this season with the icon that is, Sonya Yu. Sonya is a founder, CEO, creative director, mother, art, watch, and car collector, surfer, and fashion queen. Oh, and can’t forget to mention, an absolute badass on the reformer. There’s really not much that Sonya can’t do, and that’s what I admire most about her. She takes her passions and excels in all of them, and isn’t afraid to embrace every facet of herself. This has got to be hands down one of my favorite interviews. Sonya’s outlook and approach to life is truly so beautiful and inspiring. From coming to the US when she was 5, and using that immigrant mentality to fuel her work ethic, Sonya shares her journey on how she’s gotten to where she is today in life, business, and as a mother. This is one of those episodes that you just want on repeat because Sonya drops so many great reminders and lessons for you to take away from our conversation. So let’s dive into the magical bitch herself, and get to know the incredible Sonya Yu.

    Rachel Mortenson ON: Small town upbringing to becoming a successful model, being a single mother in her early 20’s to now being an empty nester, and being okay with wanting more for yourself

    Happy New Year everybody! Welcome back to a brand new episode. I’m joined today by Rachel Mortenson, and it’s such a great episode. Listening to Rachel’s story is like watching a really great movie. From growing up in a small town, to having her daughter at the age of 21, to waitressing at Hooters, to winning the Hooters pageant, to getting signed to one of the top modeling agencies, and moving on to became an extremely successful model, to now being an empty nester while her daughter is off at college, Rachel shares the highs and lows of it all. Rachel’s transparency is so refreshing, especially when it comes to talking about the sacrifices she has to make in order to work in the industry as a model. She also shares her experience with raising a daughter while working in this industry, and what role that’s played in her daughter’s self image. I really enjoyed my conversation with Rachel. She’s funny, entertaining, transparent, authentic, and reminds us all that it’s okay to want more for yourself. I know you all are going to love her too. Enjoy guys!

    Alixandria Capparelli: Expert brow artist, makeup artist, and founder of Hairy Little Things, on the road to success, beauty tips, pregnancy second time around, and how working out is her form of therapy

    Hi everyone, welcome back to a brand new episode. Today, I’m sitting down with Alix Capparelli to yap about all things beauty, hustle, the road to success, pregnancy, motherhood, and wellness. Alix and I are actually due one day apart, so we bond on our experiences with having toddlers while being pregnant with our second. Alix’s story of how she founded an extremely successful business called Hairy Little Things, is one of hard work, grit, and hustle. It’s such a great reminder that your dreams don’t happen over night. They take time and lots of trial and error. Alix has lived a very interesting life, and I can’t wait for you all to hear her story in this episode. She’s also the ultimate beauty queen, holding the titles of expert brow artist, makeup artist, and esthetician, and she drops so many great beauty and skincare tips for you guys to walk away with. She was also kind enough to offer the listeners 15% off your first time at all Hairy Little Things locations when you use the code M.I.L.F., so definitely do not miss out on that. They offer everything from brows, lashes, to lip blush! Can’t wait for you all to enjoy our conversation. Let’s dive on in!

    Natalie Tenerelli ON: What she learned from being on reality tv, starting a business out of passion, and how failure is not negative

    Hi everyone, welcome back! I’m so excited for this episode today because I’m sitting down with my first friend I made in LA, Natalie Tenerelli. We’ve known each other for about 7 years now, and it was the type of connection that felt like you’ve known the other person your entire life after the moment you met. We recorded this episode when Natalie was 30 weeks pregnant, and I was 29 weeks pregnant. Since recording, Natalie has given birth to her beautiful healthy son Cruz, so everyone go congratulate her on becoming a mama! We cover so many entertaining and valuable topics in this episode such as Natalie’s experience as a contestant on the show Survivor, to dancing for The Clippers, to starting a niche business (Peaches LA) during COVID with her husband, to pregnancy, the benefits of somatic therapy, to all of Natalie’s health and wellness tips, and so much more! This episode covers a little bit of everything you want to hear in a podcast, and I know you all are going to enjoy our conversation so much. So with that, let’s welcome my beautiful friend, Natalie Tenerelli to the show!

    Suzette Babb Newman ON: Training your brain to see the positive in everything, how to turn what you love into a business, and taking the stress out of parenting

    Hi everyone, welcome to the final episode of season 3…I think haha. Since releasing the last episode, I finally gave birth. 9 days past my due date, so my schedule is going to be quite busy the next few months. I’d love to record an episode telling my birth story second time around, and possibly record with a few more guests, but we shall see. Anyways, in today’s episode I’m sitting down with Suzette Babb Newman who I met at an event, and we instantly bonded over the fact that we had the same due dates for our baby girls. Suzette is one of those women whose energy you just want to soak up. Her outlook on life, approach to parenting, and how she conducts herself in business is just so infectious and inspiring. In today’s episode we discuss everything from her amazing businesses, relationship advice, her laid back approach to parenting which is so refreshing, mindset, the power of positivity, and so much more. You’re going to love this episode, and leave it feeling light and uplifted. So without further ado, please welcome the lovely mama of 3, incredible business woman, and ray of sunshine, Suzette Babb Newman to the show!
