Well & Why

Chrissy Papetti is the most dedicated person I have ever known from such a young age. She's always been dedicated to dance, her family, her academics and her closest friends. Dance was ALWAYS, behind her family of course, number 1. This girl can dance her heart out and make the whole room feel in awe. After an extreme injury came a life changing time in her life and career at the very peak of it all. Chrissy does an amazing job relating how she had to uproot her dreams and plans to find another way of exerting that same energy and passion for what she was all about, and instead launch into who she was about to become. My favorite quote that I think we could probably all relate to on any level and already have/will bring up again and again on this podcast, is “An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great. So just focus, and keep aiming.” Links: Enneagram Test Human Design episodes: Jenna Zoe on

Tom Holland is a 20something who just isn't willing to settle for a mediocre life. After listening to people at work complain about their commonly similar pain points, he started noticing a trend here in NYC that many individuals probably experience! Why do people come into work and complain about feeling shitty in the morning after a wild night out with no sleep or emphasis on a healthier diet? It makes no sense. After finding a common misunderstanding by the people who surround him, Tom and a friend from college have taken on the challenge of writing their first book together! We don't go into much detail about the book, but the dude has plenty of wisdom to go around without it. He will, however, have to join us back on here again once their masterpiece is published! As a fellow 20something who didn't have a chosen career path all my life, I find this conversation to be completely relative to so many youngsters in today's day and age who feel so stumped on what their journey will look like and where they'r

Keri Setaro is my (fairly new) yoga teacher in Brooklyn, NY. Since day 1, I realized she changed the game of my yoga practice. Friday yoga was already my saving grace and transition from work mode to weekend, and now it feels like a little movement meditation party and all I need on a Friday night because of her Spotify playlists and incredibly genuine energy. I knew I loved music and that it had an affect on our physical wellbeing, but I officially understand it to an extreme beyond what I knew. My best advice is to find an exercise instructor/yoga teacher who plays music that speaks to your spirit. In this episode, we discuss a vast variety of topics from following your gut, being brave, finding comfort in the muck, yoga off the mat, astrology, therapy and mental wellness, clarity, personal wellbeing and the journey of a duel careerist bringing multiple aspects of her life into one whole package.

Jordan is not your average young entrepreneur. She has been guided by her passions since childhood and followed her dreams in film-making to become self-employed, but not through the lens of a "typical" path. Jordan gives almost all the credit to her loving parents who treated their family like a bonding unit of friends. She mentions that having such a tight-knit family has provided her the space, support and trust from within to explore her journey while designing the lifestyle she loves. Wellness has been an underlying aspect of Jordan's life since we played soccer together starting in Kindergarten. Now, in her mid twenties, Jordan has blossomed into a magical woman with a motivated man by her side and here she is to share her ever-evolving takeaways. I love Jordan's story, because she has a wonderful perspective no matter where you are in life; a kid, student, mom, dad, sister, etc. Enjoy :) Delray Drones website Delray Drones on Facebook
