Full Of Brown

We all know music is life and it has the ability to heal and transform. My good friend Adrian Trevino opened up about his journey and his process to make music and what he has experienced to get to him writing his own songs. With his phenomenal rhythm and creative lyric writing, Adrian has been making ways and has become a successful writer, singer and musician in the process. despite the fact that his music was a way to cope with lifes' struggles, it ended becoming a gift for many of us to experience.  I want to thank Adrian for stopping by and being vulnerable and opening up.

I decided to try give an old recipe a new twist. Previously, I had done several episodes by myself, in where I discussed certain topics throughout all the seasons of FOB. This season is no exception; but I decided to do this with a twist.

So, here is to the first Intermission Episode called "Mourning Friendships". Leave me your comments and ideas about future intermission episodes. Ya'll enjoy! :) Please share and Subscribe!

In this special episode, I (Tony Hernandez) shared my personal childhood trauma that was caused by a broken home. I have never shared this before but I am truly healing from this, so I think this was a good time to share my story. Many of us have suffered in silence and I believe the first step to healing, is  opening up and owning we have a problem. I hope I encourage you to open a discussion within your family and free yourself from childhood traumas. 

in this multi-part series of childhood traumas, we start with Kenia & Fernanda's story, whom  were sadly taken away by child protective services when they were young girls. Their experience was truly traumatizing and very emotionally drained. I want to thank them for being vulnerable and being strong women, and share their stories with FOB. Stay tuned for future parts of this new series. We hope that this episode opens a conversation with your children and families and we all heal together.

In this last part of Thieves In The Temple series,  I sat down with a close friend of mine, Jorge Rodriguez. Having been raised in the same religion as I had, he opened up about his struggles with it and how difficult it was mentally for him and his family. Learning from our own experiences, we discussed the topic of how we got that far and how we survived and learned to not stay bitter. He shared a very personal story about his family and explained how organized religion marked him and strayed him away from his father. This was a very good conversation and I hope it reaches to someone and teach you to always put family first, church second. 

In this special episode, me and guest cohost Kenia, sat down with a special guest, Jay Baquera.

Being a leader in the food industry, we also discussed the love of food and good beverages that he has to offer at The Jones Assembly, where he enthusiastically generates excitement. With a glass of wine at hand, we opened up about how we felt with the upbringings we had and how we would've done things differently. This is an episode for the books, I hope you enjoy! 

In this special episode we discuss the heavy topic (no pun intended), about body shaming. Our guest Cohost Kenia Noriega and Marc Mann join the discussion and place their opinions on the scale and ask the question, how do we deal with the shame of our bodies? Having three opinions, we come to realize that body shaming can fit all shapes and sizes and cause pain to everyone, despite weight. Join the conversation and share this with your friends. 

In this episode, our guest Maria Krey Gibson, speaks to us about her passion to decolonize our every day lives.  Coming from the Philippines, she shared her journey and taught us a valuable lesson on viewing culture in a different light. With a new perspective, ask the question, Who were we before colonization and who are we supposed to be? This was such a good conversation and I must say, that I learned quite a lot. Before the day ends, ask yourself, Who am I supposed to be? Don't forget to subscribe and share! 

In this episode, host Tony Hernandez, opens up about a traumatic event that almost ruined his life. He discusses how an organized religion almost disgraced his life and he talks about what life lesson he got away from this.
