Episode 20: zumba, healing your body, and trusting yourself with josette tkacik

As Josette hilariously shares, there’s nothing in life that a good booty shake can’t take care of (Amen to that). Josette Tkacik is a Zumba Fitness Hero who leads weekly classes in downtown Santa Barbara at the Historic Carrillo Ballroom. She is known as the world’s (!!!) most successful Zumba Instructor and leads the most well-attended Zumba class. 


Josette is the #1 author on DailyOm and an advisory board member for the Women in Leadership Program at UCSB. She has been named a Local Hero by the City of Santa Barbara and was the recipient of a Congressional Honor for Leadership in health and wellness.


Considered a medical miracle, Josette was able to self heal and reverse a severe autoimmune disease, advanced rheumatoid arthritis. In today’s episode, we discuss following your heart, overcoming extreme challenges, and the power of dance.

Episode 57: Feeling Behind in Life? Here’s the Truth You Need to Hear 🥰

If you’ve ever felt like you’re falling behind, whether it’s in your career, your relationships, your finances, or just life in general, this episode is for you. (Also, trust me, we’ve all been there.) 😅

In today’s episode, I’m unpacking the pressures to keep up, the myth of “being behind,” and the sneaky trap of comparison. We chat about focusing on what you actually want to achieve (not your friends, parents, or society) and the reminder that life’s successes and failures are not linear. I get candid about how these feelings have shown up in my own life, from weddings and babies to career pivots and personal growth, and why it’s beautiful that we all bloom at our own pace. 🌼 

I also share a lovely mantra that I discovered that reframes the idea of “falling behind” and instead helps you fall into your own life. 💓

My voice is still half gone and I’m moving slowly today lol. What an incredible show. I’m always left in awe. 🤯

Have you seen Beyoncé live? It’s so fun to watch her daughter, Blue Ivy, perform too. She’s already so talented (not shocking lol). 👏🏻
