Ever thought about ditching the 9–5 and joining the circus?

This week, we’re bringing back another LA QUICKIE by talking to our OG circus performer, Noeli Acoba, about what it really means to choose the unconventional path. From training as a professional clown to performing around the world, Noeli shares stories of big risks, bigger dreams, and the freedom (and chaos) that comes with saying yes to the road less traveled. 🎪

Ready to actually breathe for a second? This week we're giving you another QUICKIE EPISODE so you can seriously — but not too seriously — be mindful with Mar Rodriguez, one of South Bay's most beloved yoga instructors and the kind of human who can make you laugh in any kind of dog.

Get it? ;)

We’re talking about what real mindfulness looks like — the perfectly-lit nonsense, the messy, honest, hilariously human kind. The kind that asks you to shed what doesn’t serve you, uncover what’s been hiding, and rewrite the damn manual for how you want to live.

We dive into:

✨ The art of doing less (and why it’s harder than it sounds)

✨ Building community within so you can love better outside

✨ Bodywork, breathwork, and the weird magic of being seen

✨ And yes, all the bloopers I refused to cut.

If you’re ready to ditch the performative wellness and find something real, this one’s for you.
