Welcome to Art is Awesome, the show where we talk with an artist or art worker with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area. In this episode, Emily Wilson interviews painter Emilio Villalba about his personal and professional journey in the art world. Emilio discusses his decision to become a full-time artist, his creative process, and the inspirations behind his latest show, 'Paintings from Home,' at Dolby Chadwick in San Francisco. Emilio, who also teaches Canada College, also shares the challenges and rewards of his artistic practice, his background as an animator, and insights into his creative influences, notably the Bay Area figurative artists. About Artist Emilio Villalba:Born in Southern California in 1984 to Mexican immigrants, Emilio Villalba felt his artistic drive early on. Emilio initially studied animation and received his BFA in 2006 from the Art Institute of California and quickly began work in that field in his early 20's until moving to San Francisco and transitioned to the medium of painting. In San Francisco he received his MFA in Painting in 2012 from the Academy of Art University. Villalba's work reflects his studies in both abstract and figurative painting. At the core of Emilio's painting's there is pure portraiture, but great focus on the disharmony of the self and perception. Pressures from society and the toll it takes on the emotional state of the subject when confronted with benevolence. Raw emotions and the fragility of the soul. Villalba overlaps and repeats human features with a kaleidoscope effect. “Don't Worry” is the 2018 painting of his that I decided to feature. It pulls you in with a sadness at its core and doesn't want to let you go. It reminds me of the face we may give to the world, that all is ok, but the eyes tell a different story. I urge you follow the links below and discover his somber and seductive work.Visit Emilio's Website:  EmilioVillalbaArt.comFollow  on Instagram:  @Emilio_VillalbaFor more on Emilio's work at The Dolby Chadwick Gallery, CLICK HERE.--About Podcast Host Emily Wilson:Emily a writer in San Francisco, with work in outlets including Hyperallergic, Artforum, 48 Hills, the Daily Beast, California Magazine, Latino USA, and Women's Media Center.

“Even if you hate your job, you hate your career- Collect everything you possibly can from this experience and then move to the next thing and collect everything from that.” Jay Shetty  Pivot Family, in this introspective and soul-stirring episode, we go outside our comfort zone of sports and entertainment, approach topics we tend to ignore and ask questions that will help guide us to not just find our purpose but to LIVE our purpose, and who better to do it with than a man who sits atop the space, globally known for his wisdom and guidance. New York Times Best Selling author, Award-winning podcast host and former monk Jay Shetty brings a powerful blend of vulnerability, clarity, and wisdom to the discussion. Known for helping millions navigate personal growth and emotional healing, Jay sits down with the newly minted Black Monk (our own Ryan Clark), Channing and Fred to share how his life has been built on pivots. Spiritually, emotionally, and professionally, “My life has just been full of pivots… I don't actually want to be ever not pivoting,” he says, embracing change as a lifelong practice rather than a one-time choice. Jay opens up to the guys about his unlikely journey from chasing status in London to giving it all up to become a monk, living in an ashram. Ryan asks if it was a failure to leave the monastery after three years to pursue his calling for motivational speaking as the guys discuss the reality of how life shifts and if we don't evolve, we can't grow. Jay recounts the days when no one showed up to hear him speak, the power of pushing forward and not being afraid to start at zero, reminding us all that growth requires humility, patience, and persistence. Throughout the conversation, Jay breaks down the challenges people face in modern relationships, identity, and purpose. He speaks candidly about love. What it is, what it isn't, and why we often confuse instability for excitement, flipping the cultural script on romance and connection. Whether discussing solitude, emotional baggage, or finding meaning through pain, Jay delivers deep truths with the calm assurance of someone who's lived every word. Jay opens up about marriage, failure, grief, and the challenge of letting go of people, careers, and versions of ourselves we've outgrown. He shares with the guys that we lose love to remind ourselves that there are other emotional skills to be developed by challenging us to grow beyond heartbreak, not just recover from it. More than just motivation, this episode is a toolkit for self-discovery. With his signature compassion and clarity, Jay Shetty proves that pivoting isn't something you fear, it's how you evolve. Whether you're starting over or standing still, this conversation might be the shift you didn't know you needed. Like and Comment what your biggest takeaway is from the conversation.

Stress is a natural part of life — bills, work, relationships, health, and everything in between. A little pressure can actually be a good thing, helping us rise to challenges, stay motivated, and grow. But when it starts to feel constant, overwhelming, or like it's running the show? That's when stress becomes a real threat to our mental and physical health. April is Stress Awareness Month, a time to pause, reflect, and find better ways to cope. This year's theme, #LeadWithLove, encourages us to treat ourselves and others with compassion, even in the most trying moments.

With years of experience helping people navigate stress and burnout, Dr Bernadette shares practical mindset shifts and lifestyle tools that dig deeper than the usual “just take a bath” advice. Stress can manifest and present in all kinds of ways, which your questions really demonstrate — from stress eating, to burnout at work, a stressed-out partner, to fertility issues… we've got you covered. Whether you're feeling a little frazzled or on the edge of burnout, this episode is packed with empowering guidance to help you take back control and lead a calmer, more balanced life. You're not alone — and you don't have to just “deal with it.” Let's dive back in.

Burnout is a type of chronic, unmanaged stress that has significant consequences for our physical and mental health. It's characterised by feeling exhausted all the time, with no energy for everyday tasks, and little enjoyment in everyday activities. A survey by YouGov for the charity Mental Health UK in 2020 found one in five people felt unable to manage pressure and stress levels at work. Other Research found that burnout among UK workers almost doubled from 2021 to 2022 and that a staggering 88 percent of the UK workforce have experienced burnout since 2020.  It's staggering statistics like these that led me to record this bonus episode. It's a different format from usual: rather than a conversation with a guest, this is my take on what burnout is, why we often don't recognise it until it is too late – and why I believe it's so important that each and every one of us is aware of it. Many of us think we can keep pushing day after day, week after week, month after month without any consequences. But we can't. What I have seen time and time again is that this constant pushing always come back to bite, it is just a case of when. Many of us are on the road to burnout without even realising it. In the past, we might have thought of burnout as a phenomenon that only affected high-flying CEOs. But it's fair to say the world of work has completely transformed over the past few years. Pressures on everyone are through the roof, no matter what your paygrade or level of responsibility. Add to that the rise in home working, the cost-of-living crisis and the fact that boundaries between work and home have become increasingly blurred means that it is something that more and more of us are experiencing.   In this podcast, I outline 7 signs that may indicate you are on the road to burnout: things to look out for in your mood, your behaviour, your habits and your health. I then walk you through 10 practical tools you can think about introducing into your life that will quickly start to help. I truly hope you find this episode helpful and, of course, if you know someone in your life who could benefit from listening, please do share this episode with them.   PLEASE NOTE: the signs I mention in this episode are very common and are not exclusive to burnout. If you have the odd sign and it is short lived - please do not worry - we all will experience some of these signs from time to time. Just be mindful if these signs are becoming longstanding. Also, please note that some of these signs can also be found in a variety of other conditions, for example, depression. If you have any concerns, please seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional ***   ***DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Today's Headlines: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer met with Trump at the White House, urging him not to abandon Ukraine, while Trump expressed confidence in Putin's promises. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court kept USAID funds frozen, and a federal judge ruled against mass terminations of probationary federal employees. In healthcare, HHS Secretary RFK Jr. canceled the FDA's flu vaccine advisory meeting, leaving the U.S. unrepresented in global vaccine planning. Elsewhere, Andrew and Tristan Tate returned to the U.S. after reported pressure from the Trump administration, while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis made it clear they're “not welcome.” Attorney General Pam Bondi is demanding the FBI release Epstein case documents, though the much-hyped first “phase” of files distributed to influencers turned out to be old, publicly available information. Finally, Trump is raising tariffs on China by 10% and moving forward with 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada, citing drug trafficking concerns—though without presenting new data.
