The healing power of fitness goes far beyond physical benefits—for today’s guest, it’s a form of self-expression and a celebration of what the body can do. In this episode, host Nora McInerny sits down with fitness personality Ivylis Rivera, who shares her deeply personal journey of navigating life with Chronic Migraine while holding onto her passion for movement. Ivylis opens up about the struggle of staying active while facing the fear of triggering a headache or migraine attack and the resilience it takes to keep pushing forward—a resilience that carried her through the challenging journey of finding a Chronic Migraine treatment plan that worked for her. Join Nora and Ivylis as they explore the concept of “soft living,” a philosophy Ivylis embraces—staying active, listening to your body, and building trust in oneself.

In this episode, we continued a discussion on "Strange Things About The Johnsons". This time, we directed our efforts on one scene where it shows the level of secrecy family members or loved ones will go through just to save face at the expense of the victimization of those they say they love.

Excerpt:

"When you are silent having knowledge that an abuser victimized someone, YOU ARE COMPLICIT. Period. You're telling these predators that you are in agreement with their bullshit ass nasty ass perverted ass behavior. No offense, but praying by itself won't fix the problem. While you and your folks are praying, these predators are PREYING and exerting power over others. It's an epidemic we need to acknowledge and stop protecting these folks and "family names" over the well-beings of our future generation."
