🎄🔋💠🤪🎁
As I look at these Spotify Wrapped numbers, the first thing I feel isn’t pride.
🩵
It’s gratitude.
🩵
To every guest who trusted me with their story this past year: thank you. You showed up honest, open, and brave.
🩵
These conversations mattered because *you* were willing to go there.
🩵
To everyone who listened, shared, commented, or quietly pressed play while driving, walking, hurting, or healing — thank you for giving me your time. I don’t take that lightly.
🩵
This show exists because people are willing to step into other people’s shoes for a moment… and listen.
I’m grateful for every single step taken with me this year. 👟
🩵
Here’s to more honest conversations ahead.

New Episode! "Crap..."

🥪➡️💥 PB&J. White bread. Normal… right? 👟 At 15 years old, Dr. Aaron Chapa was overweight, confused, and hungry for direction — with no real guidance on food, health, or how the body actually works. 👟 That’s where this episode of Other People’s Shoes begins. 👟 🎙✨ CRAP Sometimes what we eat. Sometimes what we believe. Sometimes what we’ve been told is “fine.” 👟 In this conversation, Dr. Chapa shares how one small change cutting sugar led to a massive shift (inch by inch, it’s a cinch). We talk about food, loss, systems that fail us, and what happens when health becomes personal. 👟 🫀 Holding his father in his arms at the moment of death changed everything. 🍭 Should sugar be treated like a controlled substance? 🎥 Are we eating “make-believe food” like in Hook? 🥩 Is carnivore the answer… or just part of the conversation? 👟 This episode isn’t about perfection. It’s about awareness. And deciding what you don’t want to keep swallowing anymore. 👟 👟 Step into Dr. Aaron’s shoes and ask yourself what needs to change, starting now. 👟

New Episode! "Now And Next"

🎙✨ NOW AND NEXT 👣✨ 🔥✨What if the real breakthrough isn’t fixing your past… but showing up for the person right in front of you? This week’s episode, with Marco Vega called the Now And Next, dives into a mindset that’s been reshaping my own life: 👣✨ ✔️ Do what you can with the NOW you’ve been given ✔️ Stay ready for the NEXT person you can impact 👣✨ I sat down with Marco Vega music industry pro, part-time story listener, and the self-proclaimed “bad boy of Music Row” 😎🎸. Behind the swagger is someone who "really" sees people. Someone who knows how to sit in the heavy stuff without rushing to fix it. 👣✨ We dig into questions we’re "all" wrestling with: 💔 Why are we more connected digitally yet lonelier than ever? 📞 Who’s your 911 person the one you call when life collapses? 😋 Why “don’t yuck someone else’s yum” might be the most underrated life rule 🏝️ And yes… what Tom Hanks and Wilson still teach us about connection 👣✨ Marco also shares what he’s doing with "Loqui", a human-to-human listening platform giving people real conversation, real presence, and real support 24/7. 🗣❤️ 👣✨ If you’ve been craving deeper connection, a fresh way to think about purpose, or just a reminder that your presence still matters… this one’s going to land. 👣✨ 👣✨

🦃✨ Who’s sitting at your table this season?
👟🎙️
With Thanksgiving coming up, it’s easy to think about food… but what about the “feelings” we keep feeding?
👟🎙️
Are “shame”, “loneliness”, “depression”, or “not enough” still pulling up a chair? Maybe it’s time to say, “You’re not welcome here anymore.”
👟🎙️
This week on Other People’s Shoes, I talk with Wes Woodson about how to stop accepting mediocrity in how others treat us “and” in how we treat ourselves.
👟🎙️
We dig into: 🍽️ Letting go of what no longer belongs at your table 🧠 The power of hearing “it’s not your fault” 🪞 Why we often tolerate disrespect we’d never dish out to others 📌 How to bring real evidence that you “are” enough
👟🎙️
If you’re hungry for a new kind of wholeness, this one’s for you.

New Episode! "Connect"

🥗✨ Ever tried going to a restaurant "alone" no phone, no playlist, no scrolling just you, your meal, and your thoughts? Sounds simple… until you actually try it. That moment of silence can feel uncomfortable, even exposing. Why is being alone so hard sometimes? 🎧 In this episode of "Other People’s Shoes", I sit down with Constance Curtis, a transformational coach and entrepreneur who’s spent over two decades helping people find purpose, alignment, and peace within themselves. 🌿 🎧 We dig into the difference between being "busy" and being "connected", and how chasing validation from others can leave us feeling emptier than ever. Constance shares how to turn inward—how to trust yourself, release old patterns, and reconnect with what truly matters. It’s a lively, honest conversation about identity, fulfillment, and the courage to just "be" where you are. 🎧 So next time you find yourself at lunch alone, maybe skip the scroll and tune in—you might just discover something deeper than what’s on the menu. 🍴💭 🎧 Listen now and join the conversation at opspodcast.com 🎧 💫👣

Living the Grace Life Podcast

🎧 I’m hanging out on the *Living the Grace Life podcast with my friend and she tries to walk a mile in my shoes. Brave woman. 😂👟

We go deep, we get honest, we laugh, and yes… grace shows up (because it always does when Jennifer’s involved). She’s one of my favorite humans in podcasting and a seriously gifted host.

So when the episode drops, do yourself a favor hit play, take a walk, drive somewhere, fold laundry, whatever you do when you listen and come hang with us.

👟 Step inside my shoes
🩵 Walk with us
🙌 Try not to judge my sock choices
