Darling Little Secrets

Happy Friday! This week i talk about the struggles of feeling like I am not enough. I go through the different stages of my life where and when i have felt this and where it might have been coming from. From my early childhood, to my current day to day life. Enjoy :)

DLS is back! Join me in catching up on what I have been up to in the past 5 weeks. Rebranded the podcast, story time of taking my NASM Certified Personal Trainer test, taking back what i said about Hello Fresh and MORE!

Coach Renard Simon talks everything about nutrition. WHY tracking macros works, WHY you should track macros, and we discuss certain diets such as keto, paleo, etc. Also talks about how social media is evolving and how toxic Instagram can be. These facts are tough to digest but important to know. You cannot outwork a bad diet. Find what works for YOU, there is no right or wrong. Enjoy :)

What has been some positive things that have come out from being in quarantine? This week I sat down and truly started to think about some of the positives of this situation we are all currently facing. It's all about perspective. How you choose to look at things determine how the situation will affect you. Instead of focusing on the negatives, think about the positive and you will realize it may not all be that bad. I encourage you to take a moment to soak it all in. Happy friday!

Happy Friday beautiful people! Darlene shares some big news with you all. Despite coming out of a rough week, dealing with stress, anxiety and mental health, she opens up about how difficult it has been to even prepare to share this. Initially, this was not the plan. This was supposed to be announced at the end of June but you loyal listeners get a good preview. Enjoy :)

In this episode, Darlene answers some questions from IG followers. Take this as a "late" introduction. She speaks on her thoughts about Coronavirus, how she knew her husband was the "one", what she did after high school, and many more topics. Enjoy this episode :)

"How do you stay motivated?" Is a question Darlene gets alot. It is not all about motivation. It is determination that helps her stay on track. Darlene discusses what helps her stay on track, her experiences with weight loss, weight gain, transformations and being a beginner in the gym. She has done it all, fad diets, competing in bikini competitions, cardio, and falling off track. Its been almost a year that she has stayed consistent after 6 years in the "exercise world" and it's been the best year yet for self-love, feeling confident in her own skin, and loving to work out! Enjoy.

Darlene talks about her mental health and what she has been doing to deal with the effects of Coronavirus. She also brings in some people to discuss how the virus has affected them financially, physically, and emotionally. Making TikToks and working out have been really helping her stay active and have also been a good distraction.

Today I discuss the phenomenon show: Tiger King which surfaced at the beginning of this quarantine. It was perfect to watch during this time. It blew up and I felt left out since I had not watched it. I still feel uneasy about the documentary itself. Like, why? Later, I also discuss how I have been dealing with my mental health during this quarantine. It's been quite the road. It has been tough. But I share my feelings and the raw truth of how I have been feeling. Being bipolar through this uncertain time is tough. I have been taking it out on my husband alot and I share how I'm trying to make it better. Thank you all for the support, per usual!

In this episode I interview my sister in law, Nataly and she shares how coming to the U.S as a young girl has helped shape her into the woman she is today. She shares her triumphs, how she handles being a single mom, and her experience working in Social Services for the County of Orange. This episode is great motivation for all woman. We are empowered, and no matter what life throws at us, we can come out strong.

In this episode I express myself in how this whole "social distancing" and "Safer at Home" policy has taken a toll on my mental health and what I have been doing to keep as calm as possible. I recently got diagnosed with 1.) Severe Bipolar Disorder, 2.) Severe Depression, 3.) Mild Anxiety. I have been going on TikTok alot, working out, and podcasting. I truly hope this helps someone who might be going through something similar. Enjoy fam and STAY SAFE!

ARE WE GOING CRAZY YET? How has everyone been dealing with this madness? Join me in expressing myself and how crazy this past week has been. We are all there. We have to stay here for each other. Build others up AND DONT TAKE ALL THE TOILET PAPER.
