    Resisting. Something Ron Molinaro is very familiar with!  In this episode Ron Molinaro tells his side of the story.

Between the public shaming and the social media bashing, how the hell does one local restaurant owner make it through?  All of this plus his obvious love for authentic Italian cuisine is explored in this weeks final episode of Take It or Leave It Season 1.

    Yes there is chatter and a lot of laughter, something that automatically happens when you put two goofballs into the same room together, but Dr. Brian Meenan is way more than just a charismatic dude. Today, we explore the mind-body connection as it applies to chronic pain and chiropractic care. How do we know if we are really in chronic pain? Is it just in my head? Or is this dude just after my money? We explore this, his zodiac chart, and his basically overnight TikTok fame in this weeks episode. You can find Dr. Brian Meenan at Premier Chiropractic on Mt.Lebanon Blvd in South Hills or on one of his super popular social media pages. Enjoi!

    Satya: A Sanskrit word, interpreted as absolute truth, guides us to think, speak, and act with integrity. Cerrissa Koza, in my humble opinion, strives to live this every single day. Her goddess energy is so contagious and inspiring. I am super honored to have her on my podcast today.  Cerrissa is a yoga instructor and badass Queen, currently residing in sunny California. We met at Yoga Sculpt teacher training and it was love at first training (at least for me anyways). Today we speak about yoga as it applies to authenticity and Satya. I also bring up the topic of social justice and specifically the racial inequality going on in the world today. How the hell do we navigate through it?  A more serious and much needed conversation is live today with my girl Cerrissey. I hope you all enjoi!   Instagram: https://instagram.com/cerrissa_k

    Tina Raspanti. Teacher turned Mentor turned Friend and all of the above. Tina was one of the first people who really first introduced me to the mindfulness world, and I never looked back. She has always been that person I know I can call for some solid life advice and a healthy dose of some unconditional love.  In this weeks episode, Tina discusses some of the ways we can integrate mindfulness into our public school systems. She even gives some meditation insight...something I think we can all benefit from. Did I mention she's an incredible chef? She can do it all!

    I have found myself often (way more often than I'd like to admit) sleepwalking throughout my entire day. Zombie like. Straight out of dawn of the dead. WAKE UP. With so many distractions in todays world, it's easy to get off track. Off track meaning totally lacking in presence and purpose. And boy does it suck. Stepping in to our fullest most authentic selves requires presence and intention. Every single day. So in this episode I give a few of my small tidbids that anyone can implement in their everyday. So small but so worth it (I don't say that often). Enjoi!

    Off my CHEST. Get it? Yes. Plastic Surgery is the topic today and I'm excited to interview Dr. Liang! Dr. Marc Liang is a very well known and respected Plastic Surgeon in the Pittsburgh area. He looks at the body and face like Michelangelo looks at the 16th chapel (joke). It's really fascinating. So Plastic Surgery and Authenticity. It is just an oxymoron? Or can one go under the knife while still loving and accepting themselves whole heartedly? This and more is explored this week. Enjoi

    If I could describe myself and Niko's relationship in one word, it would be playful/goofy/weird. Okay maybe not one word. But that's pretty much how I would sum it up. Crying laughing. The best type of friendship. I am so so lucky to be interviewing one of my best friends, Niko Kouknas. Todays episode is all about his coming out story. Niko talks about some of the obstacles he's encountered throughout his journey towards self discovery. His truth prevails! What a journey he has been on, and I am so honored to be apart of it. And I mean what a perfect episode to end Pride Month with, right? Woot woot.

    Reiki, breakwork, coaching, oh my! This girl does it all. Today I am graced by the presence of a goddess and my friend, Miss Dani Amelio. I, like maybe some of you, have questioned the f*** out of a few of these "hippie dippie" ways of self exploration. Why am I putting a rock on my forehead!? And there is no one else I would rather turn to to tackle some of these questions. In this episode, Dani leads us down a path of exploration. What is Reiki? What does breathwork entail? How can I best tap into my inner child to unveil my authentic truth? All of this and more is discussed in this weeks episode.
