How do we rebuild our lives after a profound loss? Join me on The Fuzzy Mic as I share my personal journey of coping with the heartbreak of losing my beloved dog, Pinto.
I open up about how the pain kept me away from the microphone and how I've found solace through running and embracing the Mediterranean diet.
Struggling with depression and stress, I discuss the crucial role my dogs have played in my mental health—both as sources of sorrow and life-saving responsibility.
I'll also share insights from a psychologist about the concerning impact of our over-reliance on technology on our cognitive and social skills, urging everyone to challenge themselves to maintain these essential abilities.
Finally, we learn from the happiest people in the world, how to make ourselves happy.
Thank you for being an integral part of The Fuzzy Mic community and for staying fuzzy, friends!

I'll just say this upfront, this episode ain't for everyone. It's raw, emotional grief.
How do you cope with the loss of a pet who was more than just a companion, but a beloved family member? Join me on an emotional voyage as I remember Pinto, my cherished dog, and explore the deep bond we shared and the unwavering joy he brought into our lives.
Pinto's presence was a constant source of love and happiness.

Through these personal stories, I celebrate Pinto's enduring legacy and the profound impact pets have on our lives.

On this special episode of The Fuzzy Mic, we break from our usual format to confront the disturbing recent assassination attempt at President Trump's campaign rally.
We contextualize this event within historical precedents like Theodore Roosevelt's 1912 shooting. With invaluable insights from a retired Secret Service Agent, we reveal the intricate security challenges at high-risk political events and underscore the difficulty in thwarting attacks by determined perpetrators.
But the conversation doesn't stop there; we trace the roots of political rage back to the early days of American politics, examining the tumultuous relationship between Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. Despite the somber tone, we remain optimistic, highlighting America's resilience and progress since 1800.
As we close this intense discussion with a touch of humor and a heartfelt thank you, inspired by NBC News anchor Jose Diaz-Balart, we remind you to keep faith in a brighter future and to cherish the time we spend together. Join us for a thought-provoking episode that delves deep into our political landscape and its enduring challenges.
