In this episode Mariano talks about how staying motivated can be difficult when all others doubt you. They say that success is not a destination to be achieved, it’s a mindset, a way of life devoted to constant motion regardless of its many failures. It is Mariano's belief that the winners in life are the bold and confident gamblers who don’t shy from a challenge either internal or external. It isn’t the wealth or success that breeds those who are confident, it’s the confident who are brave enough to dare to create wealth, who dare to declare that they are of high value because THEY say they are. Wealth isn’t money, it’s abundance of love for the risk associated with escaping the crab barrel knowing the other crabs will try to pull you down. You don’t need a million dollars to keep a million dollar smile.

In this episode Mariano talks about how other people’s perceptions of you can make you feel the urge to want to try to change who you come across as in their eyes. The mistake there is that your logic doesn’t necessarily apply to them in the same way and it turns into a bigger misconception than it was before. People think what they want or need to think, sometimes these thoughts work for you but not always. Having someone believe something false about your character can feel like your failure to properly represent yourself which makes you want to fix the discrepancy, creating an unequal dynamic in the relationship: One where you work for their approval. Instead of placing your value below theirs or worse, basing your value on the low value they place onto you, always remember, I am who I am and I didn’t ask for your acceptance. “You don’t worry about fitting in when you’re custom made.”

In this episode Pauline and Mariano talk about:
1. Bad habits to quit now (and how to quit)
a. Smoking
b. Eating / drinking sugary foods (Sodas, juices, fraps, candy, sugary cereals) c. What makes quitting so hard
2. Ketosis: Diet with nothing but Protein sources and veggies, no grains, sugars, carbs or starches (upsides and downsides of this diet)
3. Tips to feel fuller longer
4. Setting small achievable goals, rather than large goals that seem too fantastic to achieve
a. Walking on your lunch break around the block at work
b. Parking your car farther away from the entrance to the grocery store, classroom or job to add in more walking throughout your day.
c. Buying a bigger water bottle and first making it a goal to drink the whole thing throughout the day, then drink the whole bottle before you leave work or class, then getting to a point where you drink more than one full bottle before leaving etc
d. Cutting back on sugary drinks and/or alcohol
5. Social wellness
a. If you miss someone, such as a friend from high school or college, a family member you have not seen in awhile, call, FB, email them. Maybe go out to coffee or just talk and catch up on the phone.
b. Be a yes man or woman. If you always say no when people invite you to things, they will stop inviting you. Be adventurous and try new things just because your friends enjoy it and want you along for the fun.
c. If there is someone you want to get to know, you invite them to something. It takes a friend to be a friend. It’s going to take time and effort. We believe in romancing a love interest or a crush, but never think about putting in deep effort to be someone’s friend.We figure oh if they don’t call us or invite us first then they must not like me, or they are not good people.

In their first episode Pauline and Mariano focused on the physical aspects of working out. The other half of wellness is mental and emotional health and more specifically, a sense of wholeness. In this episode we discuss views on how we see ourselves (self image) and what we'll sacrifice to maintain it. What we do to avoid discomfort when outside of an original comfort zone such as traveling or change in routine. And how we can create a self based routine to use whenever we find ourselves out of a comfort zone and how this can improve self image (how feeling better on the inside can improve the outside).
Pauline and Mariano also discuss Disconnecting from the social media world, or society as a whole for an hour a day to focus on one’s mental wellness. Whether it is to pray, read, go for a walk, sit by yourself, drink tea or coffee and allow yourself to block out others. Turn tv, tablets and phones off, and completely unplug.
In this first episode Mariano and Pauline discuss a general overview of fitness, covering basics such as nutrition, proper sleep, productive workouts, and supplementation. They also address many popular myths surrounding Health and Wellness trends.
