Hi guys, today, we have a SOLO episode! I love my job and I love being able to connect with you all through social media but I’m also hyper-aware of how it impacts our minds and perceptions of those we follow. We know by now that social media isn’t REAL, it’s all the best parts and it often flattens us into two-dimensional characters. And it is so important that we remember that we are all more complex, that we’re all trying our best to figure things out as we go. There’s no such things as a perfect parent or a perfect relationship or a perfect business. We all face challenges whether it’s internal or in our environment and I hope this episode makes you feel less alone in that.

Live Your Longest Life: Staying Young with Dan Buettner
Today, we welcome Dan Buettner. Dan is a National Geographic Fellow, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of five books on longevity and happiness, and a three-time Guinness World Record distance cycling holder. During Dan’s travels and research, he and his team discovered the five places in the world — dubbed Blue Zones — where people live the longest, healthiest lives and have been sharing this information with the world for over 20 years.
Valeria sits down with Dan to discuss the Blue Zones and the reasons why the inhabitants of these places live longer than average. Dan shares his findings and exposes the American food system for what it truly is: a toxic environment of processed food that is slowly shortening our lifespans. Dan details how to adapt to a new diet and ways of living that can lead to a healthier and simpler lifestyle, how walking regularly is essential to longevity, and what knowledge and practices from the Blue Zones we can use to live longer, happier, and more fulfilling lives together.

The Truth About Social Media: How to Be More Responsible Online
Social media is an extension of yourself and we must start treating it accordingly. Now, more than ever, what we post, how we act, and how we interact online has much deeper permanence and power to either push us forward or hold us back. In a world where online interactions can now shape lives, navigating these issues has become a daily concern for both children and adults.
Everyone wants to go viral and be “famous” online, but at what cost? How can we protect our kids on social media? These are not questions I have answers to, but would love to start a conversation about.

Attachment Theory: Secrets to a Successful Relationship with Julie Menanno
The core idea of attachment theory is that humans, as social beings, have an innate need to form close emotional bonds and attachments with others. It has profound implications for understanding human relationships, including romantic partnerships, friendships, and parent-child relationships.
Valeria welcomes licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Julie Menanno for an eye-opening conversation about our individual attachment needs. We kick things off by exploring the foundations of attachment theory and what it means to parent with an attachment-focused mindset. The different attachment styles take center stage, shedding light on how they shape our emotional bonds and behaviors.
They touch on the typical environment for avoidant attachment and why being dismissive with your partner can be a red flag and the pitfalls of relationship advice found online and why it's often based on conflict. Plus, we'll reveal the intriguing fact that only half of our attachment needs are met in our relationships.

Unveiling the Real You: A Journey of Self Discovery
In life's evolving journey, there often comes a moment when the relentless pursuit of happiness and external validation begins to feel unfulfilling. It’s a point we hit where all that chasing after happiness and the need for others' approval just doesn't satisfy us like it used to. That's when the quest for meaning steps into the spotlight. It's like looking inward and asking, 'What really matters to me?' This shift is about digging deep, finding what you're passionate about and what aligns with your values. It might not be as flashy as chasing happiness, but it's like discovering a hidden treasure – a sense of fulfillment that stays with you for the long haul. Of course, the occasional like and comment on social media feels good, but now they're just one part of a bigger, more meaningful picture
