Hanging Out In My Closet

To pick up where we left off, Tony is once again joined by Denise Thomas, Brent Smith, and our Producer, Anjelica Cazares, to dive deeper into their last conversation about faith. Today's episode explores what our role in God's plan might be, and how we are all united through working for the bigger picture. Our guests go even further into depth about how they exercise their faith muscles, and give advice to each other about how to keep the faith in times of struggle. Tune in to learn more about where you might fit into God's bigger picture, and what you can do to practice faith for yourself.

Tony sits down with three special guests to have an open conversation about everyone's personal relationship with faith, and what they choose to do with it. Today's episode goes further into depth about struggling with faith, learning to love yourself, and how you can use your faith to benefit the lives of those around you. You won't want to miss this vulnerable and insightful conversation with special guests Denise Thomas, Brent Smith, and our Producer, Anjelica Cazares! Faith is far more than religion, so tune in to learn more about what faith is, and how we can use it to not just better the lives of those around us, but also better ourselves.

Human rights lawyer Monica Kumar joins Tony in the closet today to have a conversation about community, race, inclusivity, and how we can come together to form a better society for tomorrow. It's no secret that the world could use a little saving right now. So, what can we do to improve our society? Who can we be for others? Tony and Monica dive further into these questions today, reminding everyone, "We are not an 'I' we are an 'us". Together, we can move mountains!

Dethra Giles joins Tony in the closet today to have a conversation about self worth. Have you ever projected your worth onto the things you have? The things you've accomplished? The amount of money that you make? We're here to burst your bubble in the best way possible - these things have nothing to do with your worth because you've been worth it all along! Dethra and Tony spill all the tea in today's episode, and the tea is that green tea is green tea no matter which way you pour it. Just because it's not your cup of tea doesn't mean it won't be someone elses, so don't ever change your flavor to fit someone else's cup! Your worth is not defined by outside confirmations, you are worth it every time, and all the time. So, tune in to listen to more. We promise it's well WORTH the listen! Just like you!

Tony and Monica are back in the closet today to continue their conversation about finding inner peace. What is the cost of being disingenuous? What is the price you're willing to pay to stay true to your authentic self? Monica speaks on understanding your values and triggers in order to stay aligned with your true self. Once you know what peace means to you, peace will follow. Tune in to hear them speak more about accountability, labels, and a conversation so good, it makes Tony want to clean out his closet!

In today's closet, Tony is joined by his good friend Monica Cost to discuss their quest for inner peace. Inner peace is one of the mind's hottest commodities. How do we achieve inner peace? Unfortunately there is no handbook on how inner peace is achieved, but we're certain you'll be taking some of Tony and Monica's wise words with you. The duo sits down to discuss sitting with difficult emotions, finding peace in solitude, and making peace with what is. Tune in to hear more about what Tony and Monica think of inner peace, and what practices work for them on their journey to find it.

Does letting go ever get easier? Spoiler alert! It doesn't. Just because letting things go is hard, doesn't mean we should make ourselves get comfortable in something that doesn't fit. Thai and Tony go further into depth on the topic of letting go, and giving yourself the freedom to start over, and over, and over. The best thing you can do for yourself is to listen to Tony's mother, "If you want fresh water, you got to empty the cup." They don't say mother knows best for nothing!

Welcome back to our new season! In the closet today, Tony sits down with Thai Trower who is an Anti-Money Laundering & Sanctions Compliance, Digital Payments Expert, and a great personal friend. Thai and Tony discuss one of the questions everyone asks themselves at some point in life, (everyone except for Elsa that is), "Why is it so hard to let things go?" Tune in to listen to Thai and Tony talk relationships, friendships, and sorting through the rubble to better our lives and our role in our relationships with others.
