Send us a textI am thrilled to welcome Lianne Torres to “Emotional Abuse Is Real” today. Lianne is a self-love coach, speaker, domestic violence survivor and advocate – and she is the host of the “Watch Us Thrive” podcast. Just like I do with “Emotional Abuse Is Real,” Lianne uses her podcast to not only share her own story of abuse but to raise awareness about toxic relationships, overcoming trauma, and healing. Like me, Lianne is devastated that Donald Trump was elected to a second presidential term. The way she sees it, the American people have returned to their narcissistic, abusive partner. We spend most of the episode venting our frustration and voicing our sadness because, even though it's been a month since Kamala Harris lost the election, many of us continue to deal with a lot of raw emotions. And we're here to tell you that we can still be upset. This was a cathartic conversation for both of us, and I can't wait for you to hear it.

In the past few years what it means to be a collegiate athlete has changed dramatically ever since the NCAA changed it rules regarding Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL). Previously, student athletes were not allowed to profit off of their own NIL, but now they are, which has led to a rise of brand deals being promoted on social media and other collaborations of the sort.Just recently, USAT has announced the creation of the Watch Us Thrive Collective for NCAA women's triathlon. On the podcast this week Grace Norman, who is an ambassador for this program, tells us about what it is, as well as how it helps support the goal triathlon becoming a fully fledged NCAA championship sport.In our second interview, we hear from Kennedy Calcagno, who just finished her freshman year doing triathlon at TCU. Not only has she had an NIL deal herself, but she also took a business class this year all about NIL. She explains to us how she went about getting a deal, what she had to do, and the various types of opportunities that are available to student athletes.Watch Us Thrive: https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Triathlon/Watch-Us-Thrive-CollectiveKennedy's Instagram: @kencal44Follow us on Instagram:@feistytriathlon Feisty Media Website:https://livefeisty.com/ Support Our Partners: Use code FEISTYVJ for $20 off a pair of shoes at https://vjshoesusa.com/feisty InsideTracker: Get 20% off at insidetracker.com/feisty Orca: Use code IRONWOMEN15 for 15% off at www.orca.com/ The Amino Co: Shop Feisty's Favorite 100% Science-Backed Amino Acid Supplements.

Did you know domestic violence is the leading cause of injury in women in the United States and it is a lot more common than you think. Domestic violence can show up in many different ways and it often begins as verbal abuse. In this week's Viva la Mami Spotlight episode, we welcome Lianne Torres, who is a Personal Development Coach & Podcast Host of Watch Us Thrive - a personal development podcast where listeners can reconnect with their inner magic. Watch Us Thrive is a safe space that highlights tough & taboo conversations and is dedicated to being a resource for the voiceless. As a survivor & advocate for domestic violence, she created her platform to be a safe space where people share their life experiences of turning pain into power and trauma into triumph. In this episode, you will hear: Lianne's story and how she has built community to help people thrive from their past experiences overcoming an abusive relationship(s). Why the Latinx culture does not talk much about healing and overcoming abusive relationships. How Lianne's podcast, Watch Us Thrive, can help communities of color, including the Latine community, to start normalizing taboos. How we, as moms, can set a good example to our children to ensure we are healed from past traumas.

Natasha D'ArcangeloLeaving an abusive relationship is the most dangerous time for the victim – Natasha D'ArcangeloIt's best to provide resources and support to those in abusive relationships rather than lecture them to leave -Natasha D'ArcangeloIf you're in an abusive relationship recognize your worth and understand that you deserve better - Natasha D'ArcangeloDetaching and healing from an abusive relationship can start with speaking up and using your voice to take your power back – LianneIt's not your responsibility to fix an abuser who is broken and needs professional help – LianneEvery person deserves a healthy relationship - Natasha D'ArcangeloTrauma bonding is a piece of the whole domestic violence situation and everyone's situation is different.

In the process of her journey to healing, Lianne started her podcast, Watch Us Thrive, to share the life stories of what she's gone through. It has since become a beautiful platform where guests share their own life experiences of turning their pain into power and trauma into triumph. In this episode of "Reclaiming your Voice to Fulfill your Purpose," the main points that are covered in this discussion are: - Defining times in life where we felt voiceless and how we were able to overcome those moments - Finding strength to heal from things that have left us feeling powerless - Lianne speaks about being a Domestic Violence survivor and how this has helped her reclaim her voice and step into her purpose. - Advice for someone listening that maybe on their own journey of reclaiming their voice or finding their purpose The goal of this episode is to help encourage and promote self-healing to others as well as encourage others to take back their power and step into the better version of themselves that is no longer hiding behind the darkness of their pain or trauma!

*Trigger warning: This episode briefly discusses acts of domestic violence. Listener discretion is advised.* Episode 39 is all about how to overcome money trauma, featuring Cat Oliva of Latina Millionaires Club. Listen now! Cat Oliva is a financial wellness coach, mother, and the creator of @LatinaMillionairesClub. She started her coaching business to empower women, especially Latinas, to feel that we deserve to be really f*cking wealthy, and to guide them out of the scarcity mindset into abundance. She makes it her mission to help women of color to not only become millionaires, but to start living the life they have always wanted right now. You can follow Cat on Instagram and TikTok. Check out her coaching offerings here. Did you know that financial trauma is the reality for about ⅓ of millennials? Yet, we tend to associate the word "trauma" with a very specific set of circumstances, often the most drastic we can think of, which then leads to people not recognizing trauma when they have it, as the result of events they maybe wouldn't have guessed. Talk about a mind-f*ck, right? Lots of people have intense stress, paranoia, expectations, fears and concepts about money and finances. Money can mean security, safety, status, or power. It can also be interpreted as worthiness. There are so many unconscious ideas embedded in our relationship to money, that it only makes sense that financial trauma is common, yet such a taboo topic that nobody wants to talk about. Millennials are disproportionately affected by financial trauma, for a multitude of reasons. Although there isn't anything we can do to change the past, learning what's causing constant money stress can help to break the cycle. Tune in this week as Cat shares her own personal experiences on how she was able to overcome her money traumas & dishes out some advice on how you can do the same.

*Trigger warning: this episode heavily discusses acts of abortion. Listener discretion is advised* On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to overturn Roe v. Wade in a 6-3 vote. The ruling eliminates the constitutional right to an abortion after almost 50 years. States are now free to restrict or ban abortions. About ½ of all US States are expected to ban or further restrict access to abortion. Not only does this takeaway our reproductive freedoms, it sets the dangerous precedent that from the moment of fertilization, we cannot choose. A state can force a person to carry a pregnancy to term, even at the greatest of personal, medical & familial costs. Women of color will be most impacted by this overturn. Black & Latina women are respectively, 3 & 2 times more likely to have an unintended pregnancy than white women. WOC are less likely to have access to contraceptives or reproductive services. WOC are more likely to be uninsured v. White women. And Black women are 4 times more likely to suffer a pregnancy-related death v. White women. This week's episode features a panel of women I've met as we share our personal experiences with having an abortion(s). It is a heavy episode & can be triggering to hear, however it is shining a light on a very taboo topic that many don't have the courage to speak on, yet happens more often than we think. Abortion happens every day. Millions of people around the world have an abortion each year. But the majority of those people will never talk about their abortion experience. What if we broke our silence and told the truth about our lives and our choices? The most important conversations aren't always the easiest to have, but always worth having. Here at the Watch Us Thrive podcast, we're dedicated to creating a safe space for women to share stories they haven't been able to talk about, and listen to stories they haven't been able to hear. Many thanks to the women who came on to share their vulnerability!

This solo episode is all about relationships & the expiration dates that come with them. Many times, we associate the end of a relationship with someone romantic...while that may be true, there are also times when you need to cut ties with those friendships & family members who you thought would be in your life forever.

The healing journey can get lonely at times, especially when you're leveling up & growing, but it's important to remember this: the people you meet in life are either reflections of a repeated cycle, or the opportunity to a new start.

Episode 5 is all about how to identify the the warning signs of a narcissist! Tune in now! I sat down with Giovanna Zerillo and Jocelyn Roman while we were away on a girls trip/mini vacation.

Episode 4 asks the question...are you REALLY tired? Take a listen now! As you already can tell, TikTok is setting me up with SO much inspiration to record these episodes for y'all. The queen behind the inspiration for this episode is MissCiciB on TikTok. She is a 13x author and host of the Sis, Get Your Ish Together podcast. The minute I saw her video and listened to what she said, I was like "YES, GIRL! PREACH!!!" I couldn't relate more to her message. Immediately after, I plugged up my mic and recorded an episode diving deep into what is really means to be TIRED...and it's not only being tired of those romantic relationships that no longer serve you. We get INTO it, honey. Check out the full video here. Stay tuned for an episode that is all about taking accountability. We don't live in Victim-Land (LOVE this term, thanks to my life coach & mentor, Erika Cramer) on this side of town, y'all. YOU are the creator of all the decisions you make in life...and it's up to YOU to change the outcome from here on out! So if you're ready to look in the mirror, do the self-work and accept that YOU are the reason for how your life is thus far? Then this episode is the episode for you! Take a listen! As always, thank you for listening. Your time is valuable and I appreciate y'all for taking the time out of your day to check in with ya girl. I appreciate you!

Episode 3 is all about how you need to stop using other people to "heal" your sh*t! Listen now! Take a journey with me as I tell you my own stories of how I use to be that scared, co-dependent, lonely girl who never knew how to truly be alone and heal through my own trauma... I know someone out there can relate to my stories! This episode will tell you about yourself (in a strong, but loving way, as always) and give you the motivation to really look deep into your own situations and muster up the courage to do your own self work.

*Trigger warning: This episode briefly mentions acts of suicide. Listener discretion is advised.* Episode 2 is a follow up to my last episode that was all about dealing with life after going through a hard break up. Once again, thanks to the wonderful world of TikTok, I decided to record an episode titled: F*ck...I'm Single...AGAIN. Many times in my life, when I dealt with a break up, there was a sense of failure that I felt within myself. (Yes, I'm still in therapy working through those feelings...) But as life goes on and time heals wounds, there comes a time in your life where you catch yourself as a single woman (or man), and sometimes, that feeling can mess with your mind. Trust me, I've been there... Today's episode puts a spin on shifting your mindset into not focusing on the negative, but channeling your energy to a more positive outlook. So what if you're single again? There is a WORLD of opportunity waiting for you to explore! Let this episode be the uplifting message that you need to hear. I know I definitely felt better after recording it, and I guarantee you will, too. Follow Shay Hagerman on TikTok here. Watch her video featured in this episode here.

Episode 1 asks the question many of us have asked ourselves before...we broke up...what now? Take a listen! This episode came to mind by the wonderful world of TikTok. I came across a video that really resonated with me featuring Periko The Artist, and after listening to what the video was talking about, I felt inspired to record an episode based around it. Watch the video that inspired this episode here. We have ALL been through at least one break up in our lifetimes...and let's be honest: break ups suck... REALLY suck. For me personally, I never had a "healthy" break up...it's always been a tumultuous ending that took a while to recover from. Now, while break ups are the last thing we want to deal with in life, they happen... All the time. Yeah, they're painful. Yeah, you might be a little sad (or a lot). Yeah, you might cry over him or her... But it isn't the end of the world. You will heal from that heartache. Know that there is a beautiful side to life on the other side of that pain, & that's what today's episode is all about. Like the late, great Robin Williams said (RIP): "It's time for your next adventure... How exciting." Share this podcast with everyone you know.

Welcome to the Watch Us Thrive podcast! We know 2021 has been something else... It was good, it was bad, it was all the feels. & yes, we've been through a lot. But... we made it, y'all. I believe it's a whole blessing to be able to see another year. Life is short & you never know when the last day you'll be walking this Earth is. So with that being said, this surprise episode is all about setting intentions with the year ahead along with reminiscing of the year before. It's a good thing to reflect on what you've been through, IMO (in my opinion). But, you shouldn't sit in the past. & you definitely shouldn't dwell too much on it. What's done is done. There are no do-over's left in 2021. SE ACABO! (It's over, in Spanish). I hope this episode gives you the chance to reflect on the year you had in 2021, and also gives you the motivation to set goals and intentions for the life you want to live in 2022. Thoughts + Actions = Results. Let that be the takeaway for you in this episode. Check out Erika Cramer here. Join the Sistahood here. And follow her on Instagram here.

Today I have the pleasure of having Shannon Dalton Giordano from Serendipity Social Media, Inc. on the podcast. I met Shannon through Eileen Cox from True To Choice who I had met through Mary Cravets and her excellent Watch Us THRIVE online Zoom calls. “I'm a singer and love to sing just for fun, not professionally. So I think about Tone of Voice as how we show up. It's the words we use. It's the way we talk. It's the way we treat people. And I think that certainly from a brand perspective, often brands don't think about their tone of voice enough. I am talking about the written word. So it sounds funny since tone really makes it sound like it's going to be something audible, but yes, the words that you're using on social media, blog posts, advertising, and the ways that you talk to people. How do you want people to view you? Do you want them to see you as warm, inviting, and inclusive? Do you want to be fun? Do you want to be snarky? Do you want to be cutting edge? There are all sorts of ways you can impact your tone of voice so that people understand who you are and how you're trying to show up. It’s about storytelling. I start from, what's the thing that I'm trying to share. And then I try to think about what in my life is meaningful to me? And usually, it bubbles up to some story, whether it's about music or whether it's about a family member or training my dog or whatever it is. Do you use an anecdote to connect with people? I think it does two things. It really gets the point I'm trying to make across, but it also lets them have a little glimpse into my personality and who I am. Working with businesses, writing all of their social media posts, which I still do to some degree, but now, for the most part, I'm doing much more with strategy sessions, trying to help business owners and entrepreneurs figure out their strategy. I think a lot of people keep trying things on social media and not understanding why they don't work. I think it's much more effective to tell stories that are targeted to the pain points of the clients that you want to reach. So then they see themselves in your stories without you even having to say, buy this thing. Sometimes it can just be a really easy, a small switch. Everything you're posting is promotional. Maybe you think you're getting your message across, but it really doesn't make sense and people don't know what you do. So I've been spending a lot more time trying to get under the covers with business owners to figure out what they are doing now and how to put a strategy in place that works. It makes sense for them to read the analytics and insights and understand what's working, and what's not. I think sometimes we all just keep trying to do the same thing without desired results, the definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome.” ~ Shannon Dalton Giordano Contact Shannon Website: Serendipity Social Media, Inc.
