Being a Social Butterfly Can Save Your Life

Wed, 28 Feb 2024 05:00:00 -0000

Join us for this week’s episode with JT Torres, Director of the Center for Teaching and Learning at Quinnipiac University. The conversation with JT touches on the pressure of perfectionism, finding the right learning environment and learning to use your heart as a guide for all things. JT believes the most interesting thing he’s learned as an educational researcher is that we learn, grow, and change when we care about what we are doing and we feel cared about. This finding goes against years of thinking that the best way to educate humans was through content and intellectual stimulation. Fostering relationships in classrooms have resulted in so many achievement-based outcomes. And so, JT works to help educators, team and community leaders and professionals design care into their learning environments, whether in person, online, in community, or the workplace.

Warrior Spirit Warrior Life with Jodi G

Wed, 15 Dec 2021 15:58:00 -0000

We wrap up season 3 this week with Jodi Goldberg. Jodi is currently an interior and landscape designer after having a flourishing career in fashion. She and her husband moved their family to Santa Barbara where Jodi spent years renovating and designing their family home on Olive Mill Road, drawing upon her styling career and global travels for inspiration. This marked the beginning of her prolific interior design career, in which she has been the creative force behind many of Santa Barbara’s most stylish spaces since she laid her roots here 21 years ago.

In a cruel twist of fate, Jodi lost her beloved Montecito home in the 2018 mudslide and narrowly escaped with her life. Just 30 days after moving into her new home, she was diagnosed with Stage 3 lung cancer and battled for her life for the next 18 months as the global pandemic was taking over the world. Jodi’s warrior spirit was lit up as she had to learn to surrender and trust that the universe was holding her. Her self-care became her spiritual awakening. Her love of family and work provided motivation for healing as well as the support from her soulmate husband. Cancer taught Jodi to be present in the moment with each breath and provided her an opportunity to learn self-love in a new way. This heartfelt conversation with Jodi will inspire and motivate each of you to learn to pause, take a deep breath and practice what it means to truly love yourself. I encourage you all to follow @jodigdesigns to see her incredible talent and vision and if you are in the Santa Barbara area: www.jodigdesigns.com And to all of you out there battling illness, heartache and trauma, I am sending you hugs and ask you to give yourself some grace as you learn how to navigate it all in the midst of these trying global time. Here is some additional inspiration from Jodi to keep you going as well, “Time doesn’t stop because you get sick, or because you lose a house. You have to find within yourself what is going to make you keep wanting to go forward.”

Understanding That It's Okay to Say No with Colleen Freese

Wed, 10 Feb 2021 05:00:00 -0000

Welcome to episode 18 of Living Well While Living Online. Today, host Tami Reilly is joined by Colleen Freese. Colleen developed a deep-rooted love for group fitness over 10 years ago as a student and knew that she had found her calling as an instructor. She has added her ACE Group Fitness Certification, as well as HIGH Fitness, Balletone, Extreme HIIT Chaos, Tabata GX, Schwinn Indoor Cycling, and is a Master Trainer for Barre Above. Colleen has a big presence on social media which has grown during this time of quarantine. When everything hit in Washington where she lives, her gut reaction was "I have to keep my people moving" and since has really taken advantage of new opportunities and ways to connect with her students. Juggling her brand, her classes, her young children and her health can certainly take its toll, so Colleen's self-care routines and attitude are crucial. When Colleen isn't teaching classes, she and her husband love sending time with their two young sons, hiking, being outside, cooking, being with family, and exploring their home state of Washington. Please follow Colleen on social media, @colleenfreesefitness, and attend her live classes at www.HomeRoomFit.com.

Honoring the Life of Natashia Iacovelli

Wed, 25 Nov 2020 05:00:00 -0000

Welcome to episode 14 of Living Well While Living Online. This week's episode honors the life of Natatshia Iacovelli, who tragically passed away days after recording her interview with host and dear friend, Tami Reilly. Tami shares a heartfelt message to open the show, reflecting on her friendship with Tash. In this special episode, we see that healing takes time and that we need to create habits to feel that we have purpose. Tash's thoughtful "five things each day" practice is something to strive for as it not only provides us with some sense of purpose each day, but it reminds us of the importance of connection and kindness. These two things can easily get left out in our daily struggle to figure out what is right for us each day. Her wisdom of asking, "is this adding joy to my life" is another big takeaway that each of us should ask more. There are small things we can and should give ourselves permission to have and do that will provide us with a sense of joy - even if it is for a few minutes. Those few minutes can be so impactful. Natashia was working on living more courageously and present each day. She was truly a best friend to so many people, and she was finally working on easing off on herself and to allow herself to surrender more and be perfect less. This Thanksgiving week, let's all take her advice and truly remind ourselves of the things we are grateful for. On behalf of the entire Living Well While Living Online team, we send our deepest condolences to the Iacovelli family and all who were graciously impacted by Natashia.
