This is EZ with Monica - Self Development, Therapy & Emotional Hard Ons
Monica Villaruel is an LA Native, a public research scientist, and a bonafide badass. She works for the California Department of Public Health - focusing on the areas of maternal, child, and adolescent health. She joins the podcast to talk about self-development, therapy, and emotional hard-ons (tune in to find out what these are). We coined the term emotional hard-on, so you won’t find this kind of sexy talk anywhere else. Exclusively on This is EZ with Monica. Thank you for continuing to support the podcast. Just one note because I couldn’t remember the name of the website during the podcast, so I’m sharing . Mark Manson’s website is called Life Advice That Doesn’t Suck. You can check it out by visiting https://markmanson.net/. His material is excellent. You won’t regret it. I just finished taking his “Improving My Life” course. So good.

This is EZ with Erik V. - Coming Out/Just Being
Erik is an aquarius. He’s left handed and color blind. He joins the podcast to tell his beautiful coming out story - a process that he refers to as finally “just being.” Erik’s Catholic upbringing in a Mexican household created a tumultuous journey to self discovery. He was prepared to hide his truth in order to avoid telling his parents, but life had other plans. Erik fell in love in his early thirties and could no longer hide his true self. Four powerful letters. An angry song. A man unchained and no longer willing to dilute himself for the comfort of others. Have a listen! If you or your family are experiencing difficulties during your coming out journey, here are some resources: https://www.cdc.gov/lgbthealth/youth-resources.htm Love and light. Thank you so much for listening.
