CREATE YOUR OPPORTUNITY! How to fake it til you make it.
11/28/18 • 43 min
#126: This episode is all about the struggle of chasing a dream and the opportunities that come when you’re down and out. Just when you feel like the journey is over, and you’re ready to give it all up. Because the pain from continuing the chase feels impossible and it is no longer worth it.
My guest this episode is my friend, Ervin Ross. Ervin and I go WAYYY back. And when we had a chance to sit down while I was in LA, we talked about his experience in pursuing his passion for the arts as an actor. Ervin talks about something that is VERY familiar to many of us, learning to adapt and code switch between cultures without losing your unique personality. Ironically, Ervin spent much of his childhood trying really hard not to stick out but his uniqueness eventually led him to his career today! Sound familiar? This funny man is a ninja at life and a great example of what life looks like when you don’t waste opportunities. And when the opportunities don't present themselves, Ervin likes to create his own.

Who Am I? An interview with the host of Diferente.
#125: My guest this episode is...ME! I was interviewed by my husband and a recurring guest on Diferente, Doug Smith.
A few weeks ago, my husband came up with the idea of me being a guest on my own show. I thought that’s silly! Why would people want to hear me talk about myself? I’ve done a couple of solo episodes, but they’re quick and not too personal, but a full interview???
After we finished recording, I realized that I had previously thought exactly the same thing I’ve heard some of my guests tell me, and the same question, “how is my story relevant?". When I hear someone say that, I always reply, “We all live through experiences that someone out there can relate to, if you could inspire just one person out there listening, your time sharing this story, will not be wasted.” I hope this helps you get to know me a little bit better. We've only just begun to scratch the surface, I promise there is much more to come! Follow Diferente on Instagram, Facebook, or find us online at diferentepodcast.comEPISODE CREDITS -

#127: THOUSANDS of people suffer from some sort of confidence issue related to their body size. The scariest part is that this mentality has become the norm. How many times have you asked yourself... Do I look fat? It’s time to start asking WHY?
In this episode of Diferente, I confront some of my own beliefs regarding health and diet culture, with anti-diet registered dietitian, Christy Harrison, from the popular podcast Food Psych. We also talk about intuitive eating, health at every size and fat-phobia.
