How do news anchors detach from the influx of negative stories they have to cover every day?

That’s the question, and so many more, I was able to ask one of LA’s most recognizable faces; Araksya Karapetyan. She's a working mom, human rights advocate, and the co-anchor of Good Day LA.

We’ve had a few encounters over the years, when I’ve been a guest on her show, and she always struck me as a woman with incredible drive and pose—and I’ve always wondered how she juggles it all. In this episode, we find out what it’s like behind the scenes.

Show Notes

(01:24) How does Araksya deal with all the negative news that she has to be immersed in? Is it possible to compartmentalize her emotions?

(07:48) Advice for how to evaluate which risks to take and which to pass up

(11:20) Juggling. How a busy schedule leads to a lack of sleep and difficulties being present with the family.

(16:06) The first-generation American work ethic in comparison to others

(19:02) For someone who is already a great success, what is there left to dream of? Where does Araksya go next? Does having kids somewhat curb our loftier goals?

There are many approaches to pain relief in the healthcare community, but it can be difficult finding the correct solution to help your body heal.

Finding your Purpose and following your heart is no easy task, and since we can’t all pull an Eat. Pray. Love. and hit the pause button on our lives for a year- how do we figure out what our heart's trying to tell us?

In this episode, I break down the "Hero's Journey" step by step:

1. The call- the yearning we all have to step out and pick our own lane. The call sparks it. The questions start coming:

- “What am I here for?”

- “What am I supposed to do with my life?”

- "Is this it?"

 

2. Refusal of the call- here’s where the excuses come in.

-“I’m not your hero.”

-“I have nothing to offer.”

-“I can’t do this”

-“Hey God! You misdialed- call someone else.”

 

3. Like a telemarketer, the call won’t leave you alone.

 

4. You answer the call but you’re loaded with self-doubt. Yet the overwhelming feeling- that if you don’t do it a little piece of you will shrivel up or die- pushes you forward. 

Just by showing up and trying- you are successful.

 

5. You begin the journey and go past the point of no return. 

 

6. You fight the battles. You will most likely experience the dark knight of the soul which is nasty shit, but you keep moving forward because you know in your gut there's no other option.

 

7. You lose your fear and you feel invincible- just like you did when you were a kid before everyone put their shitty expectations and constraints on you.

Body Connection Coach and Author Lauren Geertsen shares powerful insight on Breaking Free of Beauty Culture and Embracing Your Radiant Self.

Research has shown that the average employee spends nearly 2.5 hours per day in drama – gossiping, tattling, withholding buy-in, resisting change, and stepping down from accountability.

Drama is emotional waste – any unproductive thought or behavior – and like any other waste in the workplace, Cy believes drama can be eliminated through great mental processes, and that’s why her work is focused on giving leaders tools to recapture that emotional waste and upcycle it into results.

His book "This is How Your Marriage Ends" was not only eye-opening for me, but has been a game changer for many of my clients.

Racial healing is a process that can benefit all people because, regardless of background, we are all living in and affected by the same racialized world.

In this episode, Racial Healing Champion, Rev. Dr. Aliah K. MaJon holds a safe space for me to ask, what I’ve dubbed, “Ignorant White Woman” questions.

She is a compassionate educator with a resume that includes being the Chief Inclusion Officer (CIO) for The Shift Network and the founder of the Next 50 Years Project where she periodically teaches Cultural Intelligence and Social-Emotional Learning to Educators. Much of her work is informed by firsthand experience growing up in the inner city of Detroit and losing her only child to suicide.

We have an honest talk about racism and how we can be hopeful that it can be healed through conscious action.

Has your child been moody, irritable, distant, and maybe even a little smelly?

If so, they may be in pre-puberty (aka Middle Childhood).

I discuss with author, therapist, and podcast host Dr. Sheryl Ziegler what we can do as parents to help guide our children through these challenging times, and why so many of us are under that false misconception that puberty doesn’t “hit “until 13 yrs. old.

In researching for her next forthcoming book, she explains that puberty can start at age 7 or 8 years old—which was a surprise to me! Have a listen and get some insights and resources to make your child’s pre-puberty something to celebrate rather than “get through”.

Millennials lead the ‘sleep divorce’ trend. Do you need one?

It's a distressing phenomenon that haunts my nights: the "sleep divorce." When you're married or living with your partner, the act of "going to bed" can either be a serene conclusion to the day or an endless loop of Groundhog Night, plagued by the torment of counting sheep.

According to a survey from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), a third of cohabitating adults have filed for “sleep divorce.”

These couples now get their shut-eye in separate beds. They sleep apart to stay together.

In this episode, I talk about why it's important to evaluate for yourself.

5 ways you can increase your salary

1. Be more visable- “walk the halls”, lead calls, make yourself known, lead LinkedIn conversations and groups    2. Negotiate EVERYTHING- there are many things that are non-salary items that contribute to total compensation    3. Build your brand- be active on social media and contribute to media outlets.   4.  Come to negotiations with data points—prep with hard metrics on why you deserve the raise    5.  Get paid for the job your currently doing- Ensure you’re getting paid NOW what you deserve rather than accepting it when your boss tells you to “do the job for 6 months and then we’ll increase your pay if you’re doing well”. Never accept an increase in scope of work without getting the money first.

Does sex with your partner feel like just another thing on your to-do list?

Is it possible to reignite the spark in your marriage?

In this episode, I welcome Kate Balestrieri— founder of Modern Intimacy, sex therapist, and a licensed psychologist and we talk about IT ALL.

Everything from emotional labor to how being a parent has the potential to crush your sex life.

Show Notes

(02:16) How Kate became a sex therapist

(04:47) For many working women, sex can become a chore

(06:41) What is the third shift aka emotional labor

(08:46) Women tend to pressure themselves

(12:49) Your sex life when there are kids in the house all the time

(16:02) Initiating sex when people are stressed

(21:31) Receiving compliments at the wrong moment

(24:01) Should every couple look into therapy and sex therapy in particular?

(24:50) Isolation as a coping mechanism for men

(28:01) Why a lot of women struggle with feeling genuinely sexy

Whether you are recouping from years and years of working and you're just trying to avoid burnout, or whether you're dealing with a more personal issue where you need to take that time for your family-- I think taking a career break is a huge pro because it can bring the clarity that you need for your next step.

How can you climb the vibrational ladder so your manifestations can flow to you?

You must first move out any low vibrational energy that is taking up the space needed for your new desire.

AKA you have to "move the moped"

You only have 1 vibrational "parking spot" for the thing you want and if there's a shitty little moped parked there, the big beautiful "dream car" (manifestation) can't fit in--no matter how much space there appears to be.

Raise your vibe. Move the moped. Get the stuff.
