Vibes by Alicia

This week we bring you one of my favorite local business owners of CycleBar West U, Guillermo Leal.  Living by the motto of building a vibe, Guillermo believes that positive energy is immensely contagious. In business, being nice sells, the simple gesture of a smile can be a mirroring effect. It's one of his selling strategies and why I wanted to share  CycleBar West U with you all!  As we build our small business, Guillermo encourages us to listen to our gut, keep our purpose in mind, and learn to create harmonious energy as business owners with our customers. As you'll hear, that synergy leads to success in business and in life.  Call them and mention you heard them here!

We are talking about the latest trends in Travel! Travel is no longer just about ‘going somewhere, coming out of such a long period of covid restrictions, 2022 will be the year we try to get every bit of meaning out of our experiences. We talk about travel restrictions, local quarantines, and our feelings toward mask mandates, vaccination cards, and all kinds of travel testing requirements.  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.

In this Season Opener, I have a heartfelt conversation with my personal practitioner Dr. Sonia Singh.  I detail how my life was run down at the end of 2021 with a host of health issues that brought me to finally consider getting care from a doctor.  This conversation dives into how there are many more women like me who put their health care last, who work non-stop without breaks, and who ultimately end up with longer-lasting, higher-costing illnesses because we didn't see a doctor first.  This episode is a great one for my fellow peri-menopausal ladies, I want to encourage you to seek medical attention if you feel off or because of our age we require additional testing.  We discuss hormones, stress, weight fluctuations, and mental health.  Dr. Singh is an ocean of information and great practical advice.  I'm so grateful to have found her and to introduce all of you to her!

We are excited to announce our Season 6 Closer, a local Latina on the Rise, a woman with ambition, the smarts to match, and a new friend. Welcome Lesley Briones, Candidate for County Commissioner Pct 4.  In this episode, we talk about her background and upbringing, the values that she learned from her mother and father, and how they've become essential as she approaches every challenge she takes on. We talked about her years at Harvard University and how being "terca" or stubborn gave her the impetus to pursue an Ivy League education. We talk about the struggles of running for office while being a wife, a mother of two girls, a judge, a nonprofit leader, and adjunct faculty.  Our conversation ends with a commitment to encourage everyone that their vote counts, that we are the change we want to see, and no matter how much the system tries to block our access we should make it our duty to get ourselves and others out to vote by May 24!  To learn more about how you can donate, support and volunteer you can go to https://lesleybriones.com/ To find out where to vote go to https://www.harrisvotes.com/ Follow Lesley on Instagram @lesley_briones_  Like the podcast?

An unconventional episode. Behind the scenes with me, the sandwich. My life lately has been put on hold as I manage parents, family, and work. Straddling two worlds, that as daughter and that as mother. I’m in constant pull and push, but lately it’s been overwhelming and has taken toll on my enthusiasm and motivation. If you’re also a sandwich and need tips for managing it all. I’m working on a health advocate blueprint. Listen in for more details.

Meet powerhouse music mogul DJ Gracie Chavez! DJ Gracie Chavez is an ambassador for the Texas music scene. She’s doin it real big (DIRB!) pushing the crossover of music genres, playing a spectrum of sounds, and winning folks over. And this mami is the perfect act with a pedigree heavy enough to handle any party. We talk origins of her love for music, we discuss how her dad was an initial inspiration for her as he introduced her to all types of music. DJ Gracie tells us how she makes partnerships work and what to do when they don't. We dive into her sense of self-working in a predominantly male industry.  We laugh out loud, we reminisce about the good ole music of the past and being a mom in the entertainment business!

In this episode, I would love to introduce to you my guest Sheri Jacobs author of  The Friendship Diet: Clean Out your Fridge, Get real, and Fill Your Life with Meaningful Relationships that Last. Sheri shines a light on the reasons people often feel unfulfilled in their intimate relationships and how to practice proper care and feed those connections. No one wants to suffer the consequences of empty calories.    In The Friendship Diet, Clean Out Your Fridge, Get Real, and Fill Your Life with Meaningful Relationships That Lasts,  Sheri and I explore how relationships, food, and friendships, are all connected.  A few things we discussed in this episode: The body manifests what you’re feeling, and it comes out in different ways.  If you’re looking externally, then you’re going to end up starving because those things don’t last.  When we remove the comforting fat of denial and build a dish made of authenticity and kindness, always begin with ourselves first, and that way we will never experience emotional malnutrition.    I particularly enjoyed the catchy chapter titles, such as Happy Meal Dating, Identifying Empty Calories, The Buffet Line Myth. Listen in as we discuss how you can come to see you deserve that Five-Star Relationship.

This cliche rings so true, "age is so much more than just a number". As our guest, Katia says it's a mindset and a way of life.  We think that many women have yet to embrace aging as a natural progression for their lives. We want to think we will one day find the fountain of youth, but how wonderful can it be if we accept it as part of our human condition and embrace it to the fullest.   And embracing it to the fullest is why I have the pleasure of introducing a very dear friend of mine Katia Lessa, Katia is a fabulous interior designer, stylist, and founder of  @lepikiofficial an all organic inspirational t-shirt line. Katia and I are here to tell you that age shouldn't stop you or any other woman from living your life to the fullest!   Katia found her beauty at the age of 50, and it was then that she really began to feel fabulous and healthy.  She shares how she embraces her age and her maturity and has no wishes of going back.  She lives her life by enjoying every day like it's the last.  Follow Katia Lessa in Instagram  @Katia_lessa10 and @lepikiofficial Like the podcast?
