Welcome back to Life in San Frandisco! ~

Woo!! it's August yo... I got two  "new" jobs, still suck at geography, and I got a haircut. #highthoughts oh-- and I've been feeling #overstimulated with technology so I had a fantastic lil #digitaldetox 

This week's guest... is a scientist (biologist at heart <3), scuba diver, high energy transplant from the Midwest.

We talk about the differences from living in Missouri compared to the Bay Area, getting scuba diving certified and her favorite places she’s been to, growing up in Saudi Arabia and going to high school in Germany, partying in Prague, how to be successful at working remote, and her favorite music genre country music remixes… YEEDM! 

We discuss all things San Francisco…

- Living in the Mission District

- Her boyfriend Josh’s first time in San Francisco / Bay Area

- Public transportation

- Having a car in the city

- The time someone tried to syphon gas from her car…

We also got to talk about my favorite topic…

~love~  Specifically--her boyfriend's woodworking company that he has on the side (which makes him more of a master in her opinion) and how he has helped her #nightowl-self transform into a morning person!!

I'm feelin like a #brandnewbitch this week! I went camping and came back with a septum piercing hahaha my 7th grade emo self is uwuuuu-ing :3 !! Then came Monday I #quitmyjob hahaha -- partly because I was so inspired from my conversation with this week's guest! 

Also I had a lot of alone time... went to the beach & got some good ole' vitamin D... did lots of writing and reflecting... & came to the realization that I was crying all the time because I was... dun-da-da-dun... LONELY!! talk about #WhitePrivilege-- am I right?? like girl stfu with yo lonely ass... 

ANYWAYS!!

This week's guest... is a skater, musician, journalist, radio host, filmmaker, stand-up comic.... Felipe Gouveia!! Ooh-wee he really does it all! Did I spell that last name right? 

We talk about his skating career that started with his mom trying to get him a hobby, getting sued for $7,000 because all your old roomies didn't pay rent, how he got into TV & FIlm production through a very underpaid PA gig, going to school for journalism-- inspired by Dig! (the documentary)--- until dropping out when he got #sponsed by Supra! Ahh so much!!

We discuss all his creative endeavors--- music, finding a band (attempting to), stand-up comedy, filmmaking, WRITING OBSESSIVELY.... and going into a #depression after getting fired from a dream job-- with a dream team--- but how it has also fueled him to do his own projects. 

My fav highlights from the convo...

- Learning his creative process

- Touching his first boob

- Sleeping through his alarm when someone goes & shoots up yo school 

- The story of BRIAN! who Felipe wrote a song about that I was so lucky to see live

- Skaters living in their cars... upcoming docuseries... #StayTuned

This week's guest... is a Chico State Grad, civil engineer, spiritual-ass amazing wonderful human being and friend... Luis Solis! Wooo!! After our conversation he gave me an amazing gift <3 xoxo

We talk about what fueled his decision to continue his 9-year long college career, how we met in SF through our mutual friend & fellow Chico State hooligan Banessa, his current-festival-marathon and where it all began, the magical feelings of being at one of these music events (sober or very much not), and how to do drugs responsibly!! Weee~ 

Specifically we talk about ketamine aka K aka horse tranquilizer aka "medication primarily used for induction and maintenance of anesthesia. It induces dissociative anesthesia, a trance-like state providing pain relief, sedation, and amnesia." (according to Wikipedia), as well as his favorite drug of choice ~acid~!

I'm back! Slightly less depressed and ready to awkwardly talk to my microphone again while I stare at myself in the mirror. Then edit the awkward footage of me saying "like" & "gang gang" way too many times.

Welcome back to Life in San Frandisco! Thank you for tuning in~ 

On this episode, I share a little exerpt from the latest audiobook I was inspired by... The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra. 

My wonderful guest this week, is a boss-ass woman---who used to be my literal boss, a nature fairy-girl, and one of my best friends, Alex Brooks. 

During our discussion we dive deep into mental health, San Francisco-livin', reflect on some of the great times we've had together and so much more. 

A main takeaway from this episode is MENTAL HEALTH OVER MONEY and how doing the hard thing is usually the right thing. Just go for it!!
