Some quotes don’t just call up patterns — they ask you to finally break them.

In this episode, Anthony and Arturo unpack four quotes that struck a nerve — about self-abandonment, over-giving, childhood conditioning, and the hope that keeps us holding on long after something stops being good for us.

Arturo explores the emotional residue of toxic relationships, what it means to stop shrinking for love, and how walking away can become an act of remembering who you are.

Anthony opens up about addiction, family, and the stories we inherit — and how healing begins when we choose truth over performance.

Together, we ask:
What if the pain you’re carrying isn’t the problem — but the story that told you to stay?

Because toxic relationships might be teachers, but they’re not home.
And the real work is learning how to choose yourself — again and again.

In this week’s YASKING, Arturo and Anthony return to the origin of the show’s name to unpack what it really means to claim your worth, crown yourself daily, and stop waiting for permission to take up space.

Arturo opens up about doing inner child work and how, in the middle of healing, he found himself attracting familiar pain in partners and workplaces that mirrored early wounds. He talks about survival, shame, energetic frequency, and the rituals that helped him stay connected to his worth when everything else was stripped away.

Anthony shares what it means to detach from old ideas of value, body image, and achievement. He reflects on the ways he used to measure his worth, and how learning to appreciate himself, just as he was, helped him move through addiction, body shame, and self-abandonment.

We explore intimacy as a mirror, the law of attraction, daily rituals, energy shifts, and, yes, the spiritual significance of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

You’re not waiting to become the king. You already are. Let’s remember together.

YASKING with Anthony & Arturo is a weekly podcast about emotional fitness, queer healing, self-worth, and the audacity to take up space. Part soul work. Part storytelling. All truth.
