Why is Communication between the Sexes so Hard? Why the struggle?

Listen as my guests Deissy Ayala and Ole Thomas Mosnes and my husband Rusk talk about the difficulties of communicating in the modern era.  From texting to calls, to emails we delve into the reasons why so many people either connect or disconnect.  We can't place the blame solely on social media and instant gratification, we can however talk about how we can work on communicating better with others.  It's not a lost cause my friends!  Get ready for a candid open conversation on Dating, Relationships, Friendships, and Business communication. You're in for a super fun and lively debate between the sexes.

🎂 A Birthday Check -In Mini Episode and A Summer Vibes Confidence Boost!

Happy Birthday to me! Join me to celebrate by listening to this birthday episode and sharing it!  I don't know if I've mentioned it, but this week is my birthday week 🤣 so in true #Leo form, I'm doing a mini-episode called, "A Birthday Check-In".  It's a brief chat with myself and my listeners as I reflect on the last year as a 46-year-old and what I'm manifesting for 47.  It starts with gratitude and it ends with goal setting.  Here are a few questions to ask yourself as you do your own check-in.  What do I like about life right now? What are some things I want to be different for next year? Who are the people who most add to my life? Who are the people that I know are toxic, or create drama in my life? Let me know how you're liking the mini-episode, and as always you can follow me @vibesbyalicia or @the_aliciae visit my website https://tbbyalicia.com/

”What Is Wrong With Me?” A heartfelt chat with Victoria Garcia 🍒

”What Is Wrong With Me?” if you have ever asked yourself this question you're just like us. My dear friend Victoria Garcia opened her heart to give us a glimpse of her discovery and subsequent treatment of Stage 4 Colecteral Cancer. This episode is designed to give you a pause in your daily life and rethink the way you live and view your medical and mental care.  Our conversation leads us to ponder our existence in this world, and how our relentless pursuit of success leads us to moments of reckoning. As she states, the thing about cancer is that it doesn't just take your life as in "you die." First, it steals away everything you know your life to be and consequently to rely on help with even the smallest things. Victoria tells us how this diagnosis has impacted her blooming photography business, and how she's meeting every challenge with positivity and a resolute mindset.  A powerful episode on thriving despite the shadow of cancer.  Book a Photography session with Victoria here: https://www.victoriagarciastudios.com/ Follow her @victoriagarciastudios Find and Follow our Sponsors here:  CycleBar West U westu@cyclebar.com @cyclebarwestu AVS Concepts www.avschouston.com @avsc_htx The Vanguard Agency www.vanguardagencyllc.com @vanguardagency Skin Care Expert Natalia Castille 713-799-9999 ext. 124 @nataliacastille  Join our Vibes Insider Community: a community of supporters and doers! https://tbbyalicia.com/collections/vibes-global-insiders Download our Online Courses: https://tbbyalicia.com/collections/learn Create Content with us as we showcase Your Signature Style: https://tbbyalicia.com/collections/services Created by Alicia A.

Meet our go-to Insurance Agent Humberto Garcia ☎️

This week we are introducing one of our sponsors the Vanguard Agency.   In 2004 Humberto Garcia started as an Insurance Agent.  Right away, he saw a need in his community that was not being met. There was a lack of education and understanding of what insurance was and the value that it could bring to families and businesses. It is with that hope to educate that we bring you this chat.  This episode includes home and auto insurance tips such as: When in a car accident, what’s the best thing to do when there is a dispute, and who is at fault? Are you required to take the vehicle to the carrier's body shop? When should you get full coverage on a vehicle?  When we have teenagers what is the best policy to get and what does it cover?  Follow Humberto @vanguardagency or call him at 281-453-8770 This month in honor of Father's Day we are raising funds to donate 50 books to The Panamerican Roundtable of Houston (PART)- Latina Scholarship Fund recipients and their families.  Please help support our goal of donating them by June 30.  You can donate here Book Donation Find and Follow our Sponsors here:  CycleBar West U westu@cyclebar.com @cyclebarwestu AVS Concepts www.avschouston.com @avsc_htx The Vanguard Agency www.vanguardagencyllc.com @vanguardagency Skin Care Expert Natalia Castille 713-799-9999 ext. 124 @nataliacastille  Join our Vibes Insider Community: a community of supporters and doers! https://tbbyalicia.com/collections/vibes-global-insiders Download our Online Courses: https://tbbyalicia.com/collections/learn Create Content with us as we showcase Your Signature Style: https://tbbyalicia.com/collections/services Created by Alicia A.
