Aired January 4, 2026: If you’ve been struggling to get things done or meet your goals, in the past...the problem isn’t that you’re not trying hard enough, it’s that you’re only trying in the first place. The book Stop Trying! The Life-Transforming Power of Trying Less & Doing More...IS the change we need to kick off the new year RIGHT!  In this podcast, Lisa Foxx interviews author, motivational speaker Carla Ondrasik about all the ways we can get the word 'TRY' OUT of our vocabulary and start actually making things happen!‘Lots of books promise change, but the book Stop Trying IS the change! Carla Ondrasik, gives you one simple yet insanely powerful tool that’ll flip your life into high gear. If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and actually start living a life that feels meaningful and successful, this book shows you exactly how to do it.” —Mel Robbins, bestselling author and host of The Mel Robbins Podcast  “Carla’s book does a fantastic job of motivating anyone to stop making excuses so they can dance all the way to the finish line of their dreams. Stop Trying! is a call to action that encourages us all to get off our butts and do it.” —Paula Abdul, singer, choreographer, and actress When it comes to getting stuff done, we fall short more often than we like to admit. This can leave us feeling frustrated and ashamed, because despite trying our very best we can’t seem to meet our goals. Why? The surprising answer is ingeniously outlined in Stop Trying!: The Life-Transforming Power of Trying Less and Doing More—an evolutionary guide that evokes the revelatory force of The Five-Second Rule and the sublime practicality of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. Put simply, it turns out that trying is just an illusion for doing.  Stop Trying! illuminates the deception in a mindset built on trying, which can lead to anxiety, procrastination, perceived loss of control, fatigue, fear of failure, lack of follow-through, and overall life dissatisfaction. Importantly, this book offers a way out of the rut and into practical, progressive action. Stop Trying! reveals the compelling science behind our brain, behaviors, and beliefs when it comes to the notion of trying. Pulling from positive psychology, the science of habit formation, clinical studies, and more, motivational speaker Carla Ondrasik guides us to proven-effective strategies for better doing—and ultimately to goal achievement and a more fulfilling life.  Readers will learn techniques and tips, build skills through interactive activities, and hear sincere stories from everyday people who’ve made the transformative switch from trying to doing. Achievement is just one “do or do not” decision away, and it starts with eliminating “try” from our vocabulary. Stop Trying! shows us how to do that.

Sunday Oct. 26th...THOUSANDS are coming together at the LA State Historic Park for the annual Susan G. Komen ‘More than Pink’ Walk to raise crucial funds to fight breast cancer. And no one knows more about that, then Nichole Delansky ...a busy working Mom who is also THANKFULLY a breast cancer SURVIVOR!! Diagnosed in October 2023, Nichole underwent multiple surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation, and has transitioned to preventative drug therapy. She joined the LA chapter of Komen's advisory board (is their Board Chair). For those interested in more information or to register for the walk they can go to www.komen.org/lacountywalk if they have any questions about breast cancer, need assistance they can call 877-Go-KOMEN. We ALSO will have an 'iHeart Media Team' too 🙂What is the MORE THAN PINK Walk? The MORE THAN PINK Walk, Susan G. Komen’s largest fundraising event series, evolved from the Race for the Cure in 2018. Each year, we host over 100,000 participants at our 40+ in-person (and one virtual) walks across the U.S. Since the first Walk in 2018, our participants have raised more than $60 million dollars and continue to be a part of a community committed to our vision of a world without breast cancer. With inclusive and accessible options for people of all ages and abilities – including breast cancer survivors, those currently in treatment for breast cancer and people living with metastatic breast cancer – the Walk provides participants the opportunity to come together and connect in meaningful ways. It allows us to focus on sharing our passion, sharing our stories and connecting with others, all while fundraising to support life-saving programs and research. The finish line is a world without breast cancer, and we know the only way we can get there is together.What does it mean to be More Than Pink? For too long, pink has been connected to breast cancer awareness. However, people impacted by breast cancer need more than awareness; they need access to treatment, emotional support and so much more. It will take more than pink to help achieve our vision of a world without breast cancer. It’s more than a pink-themed costume, wig or pink ribbon at a fundraising event and it’s more than one month a year. Together, we are More Than Pink: passionate and supportive people dedicated to supporting those who need help today while tirelessly searching for tomorrow’s cures.

Caterina’s Club’s mission is to provide warm meals, affordable housing assistance, and job training to homeless and low-income families throughout Southern California. It is supported by a vision where we are creating a modicum of consistency in these children’s lives through something as simple yet meaningful as a nightly dinner.This overarching vision that started as preventing children in motels from going to bed hungry has turned into 5,055 vulnerable children receiving a meal every day at 114 sites throughout LA and Orange Counties; 268 families have been placed in permanent housing in safe neighborhoods through our Welcome Home program, and 850+ teens have trained through the Hospitality Academy at four Anaheim High Schools. Our vision is to provide every child with the resources, love, and encouragement they need to be healthy, safe, and educated.It all started with Mamma Caterina. Bruno and his mother, Caterina, visited the Boys and Girls Club of Anaheim down the street from his restaurant (Anaheim White House), where his mother noticed that there was a 6-year old boy eating potato chips for dinner, because his family couldn’t afford a proper meal. Caterina insisted that Bruno make some pasta for the child. They soon realized that there were many more of these hungry ‘motel children’, so Bruno began making pasta for 72 children, 5 nights a week, giving birth to our program “Feeding the Kids in America”. Today, that event has expanded to feeding over 25,025 meals a week. Frustrated that feeding the children was not enough, Bruno began a second program called “Welcome Home”, where we provide qualified families, living in the dark environment of a motel, with the necessary resources to move into the safety and stability of an apartment or condo.In this podcast, Lisa Foxx talks to Chef Bruno Serato about how Caterina's Club got started AND what we can do to help him continue to feed THOUSANDS of motel-kids in need.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of AIDS Walk LA, celebrating four decades of unwavering commitment to combating HIV/AIDS. Over the past 40 years, APLA Health has worked to bring attention to crises, eliminate stigmas, and make healthcare equity a priority in Los Angeles County. APLA Health serves more than 18,000 patients and clients annually, focusing on serving the low-income LGBTQ+ community and people living with HIV. They continue to be the leading provider of HIV prevention and health education services in Los Angeles County targeting populations at highest risk of HIV, including gay men of color, young gay men, and members of the transgender community. Over the past 40 years, medical advancements have transformed HIV from a fatal disease into a manageable chronic condition, allowing individuals with HIV to live longer, healthier lives.

With modern treatments, people with HIV can achieve undetectable viral loads, effectively eliminating the risk of transmission. While this is not a cure, the shift from HIV/AIDS being a death sentence to it being a manageable and preventable condition marks a monumental change from the early daysAired October 6, 2024: In this podcast, EJ talks to Craig Bowers, the Chief Marketing & External Affairs Officer at APLA Health all about the upcoming AIDS WALK and where the funds go.

Four years ago this September, Eric Borstein almost died due to severe right heart failure. He spent 16 days in the ICU where he was diagnosed with a very rare lung disease called Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, a disease with no cure. At the time the outlook was dire, as they told his wife he probably had 3-6 months to live. Needless to say, four years later he is ALIVE and much better thanks to walking! Eric learned very early on that walking helped mitigate the terrible side effects associated with medications. A few short steps in the hospital led to a walk around the block at home, which led to a mile, two, three. In the calendar years 2022 he walked 4,700 miles, and in 2023 he walked a little over 5,000 miles. Now he's hoping you will walk with him, to raise money and awareness for PAH patients. September 22nd, Eric will be walking from Los Angeles to San Diego to raise awareness for this rare disease. Before he heads out on this 6-day journey down the coast, he and his family are putting on the first annual Where is EB? fundraiser and 5K in Santa Monica, that will benefit Team PHenomenal Hope.

Aired August 25, 2024: In this show, EJ talks to Amy Nungaray about low cost auto insurance in California.California Law requires that all drivers of vehicles within the State maintain evidence of financial responsibility. California's Low Cost Automobile Program (CLCA) was established by the Legislature in 1999 and exists pursuant to California Insurance Code Section 11629.7 as a program designed to provide income eligible persons with liability insurance protection at affordable rates as a way to meet California's financial responsibility laws.However, too many income eligible drivers remain uninsured because the costs of standard insurance premiums are beyond their financial reach. Learn about affordable solutions that may help protect you, your friends, family and other drivers on the road.Effective January 01, 2015 a new law, SB 1273 passed by the Governor on September 19, 2014, provides an exception to the three-year continuously licensed requirement to allow drivers with less than 3 years verifiable driving experience to participate in the program and increased vehicle values from $20,000 to $25,000.
