    The Good, The Bad & The Wife: Husband Rebuttal

    Send us Fan Mail Music: "Everything Is Working Out" by Sarah, the Illstrumentalist, licensed under Epidemic Sound. Original work available at https://www.epidemicsound.com/music/tracks/d82030d0-11ae-4ed6-b8c0-54046531b869/. The husbands have heard the accusations… and they’re ready to defend themselves. After the wives had their turn roasting husbands, calling out our habits, and exposing all the things we apparently do wrong on episode 13, it’s time for the rebuttal. In this episode, we revisit the biggest complaints from the women’s episode, challenge some of their “facts,” call out a few double standards, and finally explain what husbands actually mean when we say or do things. We’ll admit when the wives are right—but we’re also bringing evidence, excuses, and a few accusations of our own. It’s honest, ridiculous, and probably way too relatable for anyone who’s ever been married. Because at the end of the day, nobody really wins an argument in marriage… you just eventually figure out who’s going to apologize first. So grab your spouse, pick your side, and listen to the husband’s case. Support the show "That's it for today's episode. If you enjoyed the show, leave a review and share it with a friend.

Original work available at https://www.epidemicsound.com/music/tracks/d82030d0-11ae-4ed6-b8c0-54046531b869/. In this bonus episode, I sit down with the three madres behind Madres & Desmadres for a fun, honest conversation about the podcast, their friendship, and the real-life chaos that inspired them to create it. They talk about what Madres & Desmadres is all about, why three friends decided to start a podcast, what makes their friendship—and their chemistry—so special, and why they chose a Spanish name for an English-language show. They also share what listeners can expect from the podcast: unfiltered conversations, relatable stories, humor, honest opinions, and the kind of desmadre that happens when three comadres get together. The conversation looks ahead at the topics they’re excited to explore, including motherhood, relationships, aging, body changes, work, identity, and the everyday challenges women face while trying to hold everything together. They also discuss the conversations women don’t always feel comfortable having, how honest they plan to be, and what they hope listeners feel when they tune in. Of course, no conversation with the madres would be complete without a few rapid-fire questions, revealing who is the most dramatic, who gives advice but doesn’t always take it, who is most likely to start the desmadre, and who would get everyone into trouble. Madres & Desmadres is for women somewhere in the middle of life—raising kids, maintaining relationships, figuring themselves out, navigating change, and laughing through the chaos. It’s a place for real conversations without pretending to have all the answers. Listen to this conversation with the madres and get a preview of what’s coming on Madres & Desmadres.

We talk about Yazmin’s childhood, the people and experiences that shaped who she is, the challenges and turning points that influenced her journey, and what ultimately led her into education, leadership, and public service. She also shares what it’s really like to serve in a position where decisions can impact students, families, and educators across Colorado. But this conversation isn’t just about her career. We take time to get to know the person behind the public figure—her friendships, what keeps her grounded, what makes her happy, how she defines success today, and the things she’s still figuring out about herself. We wrap up with a look toward the future, including her goals, hopes for her legacy, advice for young people who want to make a difference, and a fun rapid-fire round. Most importantly, this is a conversation about the person behind the position and the life experiences that helped shape the woman Yazmin is today. Support the show "That's it for today's episode.

    Why Do We Care What People Think?

Original work available at https://www.epidemicsound.com/music/tracks/d82030d0-11ae-4ed6-b8c0-54046531b869/. In this episode, my wife and I have an honest and relatable conversation about why as people, we care so much about what other people think of us. We talk about the need for approval, fear of judgment and rejection, comparison, and how social media has made other people’s opinions more visible than ever through likes, comments, views, and followers. We share some of the things we secretly care about being judged for and explore how those insecurities can start in childhood. We also discuss the comparison trap and whether we truly want what other people have or simply want to feel like we’re doing as well as everyone else. Most importantly, we talk about when other people’s opinions actually matter, how to consider the source, and what we might do differently if we knew nobody would judge us. We wrap up by reflecting on what we would tell our younger selves and the reminder that most people are far too busy worrying about what others think of them to spend as much time judging us as we imagine.

Original work available at https://www.epidemicsound.com/music/tracks/d82030d0-11ae-4ed6-b8c0-54046531b869/. In this episode, my wife and I reflect on 26 years of marriage and how our understanding of happiness has evolved over time. From serving together in the Marine Corps to navigating the highs and lows of family life, careers, and the everyday challenges that come with a long-term relationship, we've learned that happiness isn't a fixed destination—it's something that changes with each season of life. We talk openly about how happiness means different things to each of us, why that's perfectly okay, and how mutual respect, communication, and a willingness to grow together have strengthened our marriage over the years. Rather than expecting to always see life through the same lens, we've discovered that embracing our differences has helped us build a deeper partnership. Whether you're newly married, have been together for decades, or simply want to strengthen your relationships, this conversation offers honest insights into commitment, resilience, and finding joy in the journey together. Our hope is that our experiences remind you that lasting happiness isn't about perfection—it's about choosing each other, adapting through life's changes, and continuing to grow side by side.

    Empowerment Through The Darkness

Original work available at https://www.epidemicsound.com/music/tracks/d82030d0-11ae-4ed6-b8c0-54046531b869/. In this episode, I talk to a phone guest, Christian Navarro, a fellow retired Marine and a close friend to discuss his book , "Empowerment Through The Darkness, a deeply personal look at the internal struggles many people face but rarely talk about. We explore his journey from childhood and military service to becoming an author, and how those experiences shaped both his strengths and his inner battles. A major focus of our conversation is the "inner critic" - the internal voice that can drive high performance on the outside while creating doubt, pressure, and self-criticism on the inside. He shares how this voice showed up in his life, how it influenced his relationships, leadership, and sense of identity, and what it took to finally begin confronting it rather than suppressing it. We also talk through some of the darker seasons of his life, including the moments that forced him to pause and reevaluate everything. From there, we move into what healing and growth looked like for him- what helped him turn things around, how his perspective on strength has evolved, and the role that discipline, awareness, and support systems played in the process. The conversation also dives into why he felt compelled to write this book, who it's intended to help, and what he hopes readers take away from it. At its core, this is a story about learning to face internal struggles head-on and finding empowerment not by ignoring the darkness, but by working through it. We close with reflections on leadership, military culture, and mental resilience, along with practical insights for anyone who may be dealing with their own inner battles. This episode is ultimately about growth, honesty, and the reminder that real strength often comes from confronting what's happening within us-not just what the world sees on the outside.

In this episode, I sit down with my sister, Sarayth Velasquez, a first year registered nurse, to talk about the reality of life on the hospital floor. We discuss the transition from nursing school to real-world patient care, the emotional high and lows of the job, funny and chaotic shift stories, and the lessons she's learned during her first year as an RN. From nurse culture and patient experiences to advise for future nurses, this conversation offers an honest, heartfelt, and entertaining look behind the scenes of healthcare.
