In this raw and deeply inspiring episode, I sit down with the creators behind Fit and Fluffy to talk about what really happens when life doesn’t go according to plan and how hitting rock bottom can become the start of your strongest comeback.

They open up about getting married, getting divorced shortly after, and how those emotional lows became the turning point that pushed them toward fitness and healing. What started as a way to cope turned into a lifestyle that changed their confidence, their mindset, and their belief in what their bodies are capable of.

We talk about running, training for half marathons, and now taking on the ultimate challenge of the Chicago Marathon. They share what it’s like to be big girls in a space that doesn’t always feel inclusive, and why they refuse to wait to be a certain size before chasing big goals. Their mission is simple and powerful: you do not have to look like a runner to be one, and you do not have to be perfect to start.

This conversation is about resilience, redefining strength, body confidence, and proving that movement is for every body. If you have ever felt stuck, discouraged, or like fitness wasn’t meant for you, this episode is for you.

It’s the first episode of 2026, and we’re starting the year with intention. In this episode, I talk about New Year’s resolutions, redefining success, confidence, and why perfectionism can hold you back. We get real about goal setting, starting over when you fall off, and how to stop overthinking and just take the leap.

If you’re feeling pressure to have it all figured out or comparing yourself to everyone else, this episode is a reminder that growth takes time. Success looks different for everyone, and confidence doesn’t have to be loud to be real. This conversation is for anyone looking to reset, refocus, and move into 2026 with clarity and purpose.

In this episode of Getting Real w/ Rueben, I sit down with Destiny Navaira, a San Antonio native and rising Tejano artist carving her own lane beyond a legendary last name.

While we honor the iconic Navaira family legacy, the heart of this conversation is Destiny’s journey as a solo artist navigating an industry that often underestimates women. She opens up about the realities of being a woman in music, the pressure of public scrutiny, and what it’s been like to pursue her weight loss and wellness journey in the public eye while staying grounded in who she is.

Destiny speaks candidly about the challenges, the politics of the music industry, and the moments that tested her confidence and resilience. She doesn’t hold back. From creative control and expectations placed on women to redefining success on her own terms, this episode is raw, empowering, and deeply inspiring.

If you’re an artist, a creative, or anyone chasing a dream while navigating criticism, comparison, and growth, this conversation is for you.
