Ends with ZYou Got This!We had to keep this conversation going and go deeper, because your response was so overwhelming! Cecile, Juan, and Shawn continue the discussion on toxic positivity, opening up into their own personal and professional experiences, to find the nuanced nature and at times, hard to find places, it lives in personal relationships, corporate culture, American society, and family dynamics. The reality is that we all have experienced and have displayed toxic positivity at one time or another. Being conscious of how we show up and being authentic in our intentions, interactions, and responses to the people in our lives is...2025-05-2042 min
Ends with ZIs My Positivity Toxic?Nobody wants to be, or be around, a “Negative Nancy” or “Davy Downer.” The benefits of having an optimistic outlook improve our overall well-being as they boost longevity, help us bounce back from stress, and help regulate emotions. We are often instructed by society to be optimistic and stay positive, especially in American culture. But there’s a fine line between having positive attitude and toxic positivity. It becomes toxic when we ignore reality, suppress negative emotions, and try to be overly positive in every situation, regardless of what is really happening. In this podcast, LA Psychotherapist, John Tsilimparis, joins Cecile, J...2025-05-0333 min
Ends with ZSpring AwakeningIf you feel like you have been holding and hiding out just to get through the long winter days, it’s time to get up, get out, and start to let go. Spring is here!

Ends with ZFinding Your Calm in the Chaos of ChangeWhy does this Fall feel harder for so many of us? We know the end of the year is always challenging with the upcoming holidays and family obligations, but this year the elections added to our stressor – no matter who you are. We either view change as a threat, where we either go in to fight-or-flight mode or we accept change as a part of life and learn to adapt to survive and build resilience. How do we get from “I just can’t” to “I can handle this.” Los Angeles Psychotherapist, John Tsilimparis, joins the podcast to help us better underst...2024-11-2650 min
Ends with ZFind Your Ikigai! Here's WhySocial connection is a basic human need that is essential to our overall health and wellbeing. But as the world evolves from technological advances and person-to-person contact becomes more limited, those feel-good hormones that we get from simply being together are being replaced by shorter attention spans, irritability, more isolation, and a greater sense of loneliness. It is up to each of us to find our ikigai, a Japanese word for what we call “a reason to live/to get you out of bed” every single day to create flow in your life. Flow is the place where your needs...2024-10-0246 min
Ends with ZLess Me Time + More Togetherness = A Healthier YouWe all need healthy alone time or “me” time for self-care and quiet, down time. It’s a good thing, right? The fact is that too much time alone can lead to loneliness, isolation, and experiencing a lack of connection with others. The U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, in 2018 declared loneliness a global health threat and it has only worsened because of the isolation mandated by the pandemic. But COVID-19 is not the biggest culprit for why people chose more and more want to be alone and not engage with each other in person. Technology has revolutionized everything...2024-09-2046 min
Ends with ZTrump, Kamala, and Your Pursuit of HappinessWith less than 95 days until the election and all that has happened recently, the race for the presidency has shifted into high gear, already full of monumental, historic events and eliciting heightened negative emotions. Regardless of your political affiliation, all of it is making us unhappy on top of everything that we are dealing with in our everyday lives. According to Arthur Brooks, Professor of Management Practice at the Harvard Business School where he teaches course on leadership, happiness, and social entrepreneurship, happiness isn’t a feeling or conditional, it’s a direction anchored in faith, family, friendship, and work t...2024-08-0641 min
Ends with ZThe Holidays May Be Over . . .For many of us, the holidays are all about spending time with family. Whether merry, or just plain scary, the emotions and feelings we experience during the holiday season linger far after the decorations are down and resolutions are made. In this episode, Juan shares the almost “life changing moment” he had in how he handles the stress of going back home, his identity, and relationship with his family. Was it a Christmas miracle or the result of the awareness that parents are just people too? Above all, what is important to you is what matters most.2024-01-2552 min
Ends with ZJust What The Chatbot OrderedThe doctor is in! But what if the doctor isn't human? Our favorite psychotherapist, John Tsilimparis, joins the podcast as we discuss the growing impact of AI, and specifically AE (artificial empathy), in the medical field and in the most important aspects of our daily life. What is Chatbot Therapy? Can AE make us better humans or is it merely manipulating us? This technology can be a game changer for providing support for human doctors in assessing actionable treatment and dramatically increasing access to mental healthcare services. But with all of the progressive promise also comes the potential perils. The fat...2023-12-0146 min

Ends with ZBreaking Down BarbieWith a worldwide box office of $1B, there is no denying the massive appeal and success of Barbie, the movie that has become a movement. In this episode, Cecile, Juan, and Shawn breakdown Barbie, give their thoughts on the movie and the inter-generational, cross-cultural, and overall appeal of the iconic Mattel brand. They discuss how Director/Writer Greta Gerwig does a brilliant job introducing some heady societal themes in a hyper-visual, colorful, depiction that is entertaining yet nuanced on many levels.2023-08-0731 min
Ends with ZYoung At Heart Or An Old Soul? It's All Subjective.You are as old as you think you are. Studies have shown that we typically perceive ourselves to be from 7 years to 20% younger than our actual chronological age. This gap is called our subjective age, but are we just living in denial or is there a benefit to this kind of thinking? Preconceived notions that we each hold on aging may also be a predictor of our eventual, future reality. People who perceive themselves to be younger than they are typically lead healthier lifestyles, engage in more positive self-talk and self-care, and tend to be less depressed. 2023-07-0131 min
Ends with ZManifesting Your DestinyYou can’t have the life you want if you don’t know what you want from life. As children, we dream of the lives that we want, imagining our grown-up selves, careers, soulmates/families, and possessions. It all begins with your thoughts - believing that what you want is possible and attainable. But that will only get you so far. To manifest the life of your dreams takes work. It doesn’t just magically happen. It requires the right mindset, hard work, planning, pivoting, patience, and perseverance. Align your thoughts and attitude with your actions to get the results you w...2023-05-1345 min

Ends with ZThe Breakdown: How Stress Is Breaking Down Our HairStress affects us in different ways. For some, everyday stress makes it hard to sleep keeping us awake at night. It makes others eat too much or not at all. But did you know that stress can cause you to lose your hair? We breakdown the truth behind stressed-out hair and what we can do to save it. We welcome Trichologist and Celebrity Hair Care Specialist/Stylist, Shann Christen, to the studio to give us the true science behind hair loss, alopecia, and its connection to unmanaged stress, our diets, ageing, and our actions. He clears up hair myths and fa...2023-04-1941 min
Ends with ZStressed Out! Stressed Out!To be human means you will experience stress at points in your life throughout the course of your life. It is part of the human condition that, if left unmanaged, leaves us gassed. Whether it’s because of work, family, weather, finances, loss, illness, or even the news and social media, we all experience stress and, it seems like today, we are more stressed out than ever. Lucky for us, April is Stress Awareness Month. In this episode, we share some of our own stressors we’re experiencing, discuss the importance of breathing and calming the mind, and emphasize the nece...2023-04-0649 min

We dish on what makes good boundaries and how to recognize and navigate...2022-11-0942 min
Ends with ZFriends & Colin Farrell . . . Such Is LifeWe continue our friendship series and dive deeper into making friends, keeping friends, and breaking up with friends.

Ends with Z“Tell Me Who Your Friends Are And I’ll Tell You Who You Are.”This week we dive into an underrated topic: the evolution of friendships. We get personal as we discuss the correlation between how we evolve as people and how our friendships evolve with us. What do you need from friends now versus when you are in your 50s, 30s, 20s, or in high school? Is your BFF today the same one you had 20 years ago? Do you even have a BFF? What friends do we need as our lives change? What purpose do they serve in real life vs. online? Exec. Producer, Shawn Meaux, joins the conversation as we start to...2022-10-2634 min
Ends with ZFan Focus: "I Quit! And I Couldn't Be Happier!"This week’s episode, we have a fan of the show with us, Carlos, a hard-working, financial services professional who recently left his job, having been in the industry 16+ years. He’s listened to every episode, but the recent ones on quiet quitting, grind culture, work/life balance podcasts, and self-advocacy really resonated with him. Carlos is here to talk to us about his own, real life journey in self-realization, what it finally took to get him to make the move, and why quitting is the best thing he’s ever done!2022-09-2947 min
Ends with ZHole-Hearted & HopefulAre you an advocate…for yourself? These days, we’re all about supporting each other, but sometimes we forget to be there for ourselves. Join us this week as Cecile and Juan recap Juan’s recent health scare and why it reminds all of us at Ends with Z how important it is to be our own biggest advocates, when it comes to our health and wellness, and maintaining hope during times of uncertainty.

We also discuss the dangers of toxic Queen Bee mentality and how to be...2022-08-1945 min
Ends with ZDon't Grind, Unwind.This week’s episode, we discuss why “the grind” is overrated, how channel surfing can be good for your mental health, and what being a man, woman, and successful whole human looks like in today's world.

Ends with ZIs Grind Culture Grinding Us Down?The answer may depend on which generation you ask. With older ones having internalized it and younger ones glorifying it, grind or hustle culture has been around for hundreds of years and is embedded in the DNA of American exceptionalism. It is our work culture. For many, modern-day work culture involves working a regular job plus a side hustle, working multiple part-time jobs, or working well past 55+ hours per week in a full-time job. The truth is, left unchecked, grind culture can be harmful to your well-being and physical health, and is unsustainable as individuals and for corporations. But how...2022-08-0139 min

Sit down, take a listen, and get ready to lean into change!2022-06-3038 min
Ends with ZRest, Relaxation, and Relationship Time . . . The New 3 R'sSummer is here and that means vacay, baby! Yes, we’ve all had the wind knocked out of us lately with ever-increasing prices, especially when we fill up. So how do we get our three R’s: rest, relaxation, and relationship time, when everything is so expensive? The answer is proper planning while adopting a flexible mindset that embrace choices to maximize your experience and minimize the stress and cost. In this episode, we discuss staycations, family bonding, past travels, and current adventuring in a way that won’t break the bank but still allow us to dive into the three...2022-06-2549 min
Ends with ZAll Work And No Play Means Time For A VacayTaking time off shouldn’t be stressful, but it is for many, so much so that millions of vacation days go unused each year. Where is the line between being a hard worker and working all the time? It’s vacation time where the living is easy. Or it should be and can be, if we are flexible and plan properly. Do you take that trip to Europe we’ve put off that last 2 years or do we stay local to save money as gas prices continue to rise? This week’s episode, we dive into the idea of embracing flexibil...2022-06-1530 min
Ends with ZMetaverse or Metaconfused?While many of us are still trying to figure out what cryptocurrency is, the Metaverse has arrived. What is it exactly? Is it the Sims on steroids?

Well, if you're a novice like us, still scratching your head to understand the Metaverse, you'll want to tune into this episode where we break down the overall concept of Metaverse. We also discuss the Metaverse’s positive and negative implications for the digital world we're living in, the physical planet we are living on, and our well-being as hu...2022-06-0134 min
Ends with ZDigital DetoxWhat we consume is our world. And in California, we love our detoxes to keep our world healthy--juice cleanses, Keto, intermittent fasting, sweat chambers, sage burning--we love it all! But what about our digital diet?

In this week's episode, we discuss how to be more mindful of our digital usage and how we can cultivate healthy digital practices that help us live a better life...2022-06-0141 min
Ends with ZDigital DisruptionIs your phone keeping you from reaching your goals? Iphones, Androids, Tablets and Watches. They’re all so “smart.” You need to keep track of your receipts? There’s an app for that. Need to see what restaurants are nearby? There’s an app for that. Want to “unplug” and calm down from your day? Yeah, there’s even an app for that, and it’s great! However, when does digital usage crossover from being productive to disruptive? The science is in, and it seems the very devices meant to make our lives easier are actually stressing us out and depressing us...2022-05-1837 min
Ends with ZThe Cost To Be The BossCOVID-19 has rapidly accelerated many things in our society. Americans started new small businesses in record numbers during the pandemic, many fueled by being laid off or by just having the time and space to seriously contemplate their work and their personal lives. Now more than any time in history, the path to being an entrepreneur is easier than ever before because of the internet and the digitization of work and life. But there is a cost to being the boss, and that is accountability. In this episode, our producer, Shawn Meaux, joins the podcast where he and Cecile discuss...2022-03-1440 min
Ends with ZHardwired To ThriveWith everything we have experienced over the past 2 years, It seems we are all trying find more capacity to handle what keeps coming at us. How do we preserve in the face of adversity or constant change? The key is to be more resilient--to heighten our self-awareness of the things we cannot control and our responses to those things. It is the radical acceptance of the highest order. We are all born resilient and we can learn how to be more adaptive and reactive to not just survive but to thrive. This is how we are all hardwired, it is...2022-02-2355 min
