You might be asking yourself what’s a strong sunflower? And if Webster were to define it… it would say…Someone that conditions their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual strength to use their voice and actions to improve their life and inspire the people around them.
This podcast will range from 10 minute episodes, to give you that shot of motivation you need to keep going. And episodes that dig a little deeper (and last a little longer) where we interview people in different parts of their journey. Whether in the seed planting phase, where there’s hope and courage. In the rooting or stemming phase, where there’s trial, error, and failure but they have the audacity to get up and try again. Or people that are in full bloom and harvest! Where we celebrate and reflect on their journey and cast visions towards the future.

    Episode 112 - G & Z | STT ☕️ | Enjoying The "Stem" | #LoveYourBody Meetups Recap ATX 📸

    Hello Strong Sunflowers 🌻

    This week on the podcast we recapped the meetups we had in Austin, TX for our two year podcast anniversary. We created the #LoveYourBody campaign because of feedback from the field. Many of you asked for more content and space to celebrate our bodies instead of shaming them. We exercised, ate, laughed, danced, sang, and shared our stories with so many people over the last week. We also met new people that we are honored to welcome to our field.

    In this episode we share what highs and lows we experienced during this magical week. We had a blast with:


    Soul Cycling with Chris Chandler
    Eating at Casa de Luz
    Volunteering at Casa de Miel (We love you Patsy)
    Dancing at the Broken Spoke
    Singing karaoke at Punch Bowl Social
    Speaking at a local school to the Pre-K through 8th grade

    We hope this reflection inspires you to love your body more, no matter the shape or size. We are capable of so much. We hope you lean into moments of rejection, because you never know what doors will open because you had the audacity to try.



    WE ARE ROOTING FOR YOU, ALWAYS.

    Episode 111 - SX3 | Recovering In More Ways Than ONE w/ Mindy Hofman | Women of Austin | 📸

    Hello Strong Sunflowers 🌻

    This week on the podcast we interviewed the founder of Women of Austin Mindy Hofman. She is a creator and host of the Women of Austin podcast and Vise President of the Women of Austin Foundation. Mindy believes in the power that a community brings & is all about women supporting women. 

    As she shares her struggles with alcohol and what drove her to create this empowering community in the first place, we get to understand why she’s so passionate in what she does. While running a successful eCommerce business back in the day, she didn’t feel fulfilled in her work. 



    We hope this episode allows you to be vulnerable with yourself. Is there something you have been numbing in your life? Whether you’ve been using alcohol, drugs, retail therapy, or binge eating, they all have a deeper meaning. We yearn that you seek help, that you reach to those in your field who love you and care for you to help you get out of the stem in life, so you can reach your bloom moment. WE ARE ROOTING FOR YOU, ALWAYS. 



    Xoxo,

    Episode 110 - Who’s in Your Field | “You Look So Skinny” IS NOT A COMPLIMENT | Loving Our Bodies & Being ENOUGH | #LOVEyourbody Campaign 💫

    Hello Strong Sunflowers 🌻

    On this weeks episode, we went to the field and talked about all about body shaming.

    Right now we are doing a #loveyourbody campaign on our instagram page. We would love to share your stores with body positivity or body shaming. It’s extremely common in the hispanic community to be shamed about our bodies. Not only in the hispanic community but in ANY COMMUNITY where WOMEN are in. Any community where HUMANS are in. Because both men and women get body shamed. You’re either too skinny or you’re too fat, it’s never enough. But we are here to tell you that YOUR ARE ENOUGH. YOUR BODY IS ENOUGH.

    This episode is all about shedding light on body shamming & the impact of our words. The impact they have on our self esteem, on the way we view ourself. As well as what has become the normal on social media. The propaganda that you need a BBL or a breast augmentation. That you need the “PERFECT” body. Let's talk about the reality of plastic surgery and the consequences of choosing that route.

    You are BEAUTIFUL.

    Thank you for being in our field, thank you for supporting us. Thank you to the day, the OG’s. Thank you to the new ones who just joined the field. We appreciate you guys.

    Xoxo,

    G & Z

    Episode 108 - SX3 | Is The Dating Pool TRASH? How to Date Successfully & Maintain The Relationships You Deserve w/ Certified Life & Relationship Coach Alison Wellington ❤️‍🔥

    Hello Strong Sunflowers 🌻

Most people believe they’re not deserving of the love they seek or that their are no good people out there. If you keep repeating the phrase “the dating pool is trash “ than you will believe the dating pool is TRASH.

    Mindset is everything.

    Episode 107 - Who’s in Your Field | Not So Happily Ever After | Life After Divorce | Choosing YOU ✨

    Episode 107 - Who’s in Your Field | Not So Happily Ever After | Life After Divorce | Choosing YOU ✨

    Hello Strong Sunflowers 🌻

    This week episode we GET REAL, real about the not so happily ever after. We talk about life after DIVORCE. Religion plays a huge role in our lives, it conditions our perspective. How we view life and what we find acceptable. The life we were condition to create. To be a help mate to your husband, to be mothers and caregivers. A women we are MORE THAN just creators of life. We deserve to live a whole hearted life, to live a life that our dreams COUNT TOO.

    The conditioning shapes our check list , what kind of man we look for , specially what we focus on. We look for someone that can provide for the family. Someone who goes to church. Someone who is all of the things you were taught to want. 

    I hope this episode inspires you to Choose YOU. NO one is looking out for you , BETTER THAN YOU. 

    Love does not equal sacrifice. 

    Xoxo, 

    G & Z 🌻🌻

    We want you to remember if you are going through domestic abuse that you are NOT the problem. That you deserve good things to happen to you. That you deserve MORE than what is being given. That you are NOT PROPERTY.
