Episode 20: Igniting the Fire: Remember Who You Are
There comes a moment when you realize you’re not tired because life is demanding…
You’re tired because you’re disconnected.
Disconnected from what excites you.
Disconnected from what moves you.
Disconnected from the version of you that knows exactly what it wants.
In Episode 20 of Don’t Trip on Your Cape, Alex and Leslie kick off April’s theme, Igniting the Fire, with a powerful reminder:
Your fire was never gone.
Through personal stories and honest reflection, they explore how conditioning pulls you away from your truth, why numbing is easier than healing, and what it costs to stay there.
This isn’t about waiting until you feel ready.
It’s about choosing to move… even when you don’t have all the answers.
Because your fire isn’t gone.
It’s still there… waiting for you to remember who you are. 🔥
Episode 19: Opening Up: From Performance to Truth
This month’s wrap-up got real.
We talk about the difference between actually opening up and just talking…
when armor protects you vs when it limits you…
and what it really looks like to be seen without performing.
Some of it is quiet.
Some of it is uncomfortable.
All of it is honest.
If you’ve been feeling the pull to show more of yourself lately… this one’s for you.
Episode 18: Opening Up: Truth, Healing, and the Courage to Be Seen
In this episode of Don’t Trip on Your Cape, Alex Embry and Leslie Arboleda welcome Dr. Lida Fatemi for a conversation about truth, healing, and what it means to open up in a world that often encourages us to hide.
Blending her experience as a physician with her personal journey, Dr. Lida shares insight on identity, vulnerability, and the power of being seen.
Together, they explore how authenticity supports healing and why choosing curiosity over judgment can change the way we show up in our lives.
Because sometimes, the most powerful step in healing is simply allowing ourselves to be seen.
