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.

What if you’ve never been lost—just waiting to be remembered? In this week’s YASKING, Arturo and Anthony dive headfirst into four game-changing quotes from Brene Brown, Rumi, and Maya Angelou that will kick you off the bench and into the starring role of your own life.

We’re trading exhausted people-pleasing for unapologetic embodiment, swapping “just a drop in the ocean” shame for “the entire ocean in a drop” swagger, and refusing to be reduced by anything life throws at us. Then we seal the deal with a rallying cry to own your story and love yourself through every messy chapter.

No more hustling for someone else’s definition of enough. Buckle up, buttercups. It’s time to remember your bigness, embrace the bruises, and stand tall in your truth. Tune in to claim your main-player energy once and for all.

We’re taught to avoid the topic of death, like that will protect us from it. But what if turning toward death is actually what wakes us up? In this raw and soul-stirring episode of YASKING, Arturo and Anthony explore mortality as the ultimate teacher—not a threat to fear, but a mirror that reveals what really matters.

We ask the uncomfortable questions: If your time here is finite, what would you do differently? What are you postponing, pretending you have forever to figure out? From forgiveness to fairy dust, from resentment to reverence, this episode challenges you to live with urgency, clarity, and heart.

You'll hear reflections on grief, joy, forgiveness, and the absurdity of life—from near-death experiences to kidney stones and wildflowers. And you’ll leave with five grounded tools to realign with the sacredness of your time here.

This isn’t about dying. It’s about learning how to live.

Let’s YASK the big question: What if remembering that life is temporary is the key to truly living?

In this episode of YASKING with Anthony and Arturo, we dive deep into four soul-punching quotes from The Untethered Soul—each a doorway into greater freedom, awareness, and self-compassion. Together, we unpack the mental noise that keeps us stuck, the fear-based stories we tell ourselves, and the daily practice of remembering we are not our thoughts, emotions, or even our bodies—we are the awareness behind it all.

From financial anxiety to fitness expectations, from relationship fears to the healing power of tears, we reflect on how to gently observe, not over-identify. Whether you're navigating a challenging season or simply want to feel more present and alive, this episode invites you to trust life, loosen your grip, and dance with the mystery.

This is your reminder: you were never the storm. You’ve always been the sky.

We live in a world that rewards control, performance, and constant doing. But what if your real power lies in letting go?

In this heart-opening episode, Anthony and Arturo dive into the deep waters of surrender: what it actually means, why we resist it, and how embracing it can return us to the truth of who we are. From anxiety at work to detours in life and love, we explore how releasing the grip allows life to reroute us toward something even better.

We talk:

• The false self vs. the true self
• What to do when emotions feel overwhelming
• Why labeling your feelings keeps you stuck
• And how to become the loving observer instead of the panicked main character

This is about more than softening the body (though we talk about that too). It’s about softening your identity, your resistance, your need to know what’s next. Because underneath the fear, the labels, the old stories — you are already whole.

Let’s YASK the big question: Where in your life could you soften the grip, even slightly—and who might you become if you did?

You think you’ll finally be free when you have more control over your life, your body, your relationships, your future.

But what if the need for control is exactly what’s keeping you stuck?

In this episode of YASKING, Arturo and Anthony dive into four brutally honest quotes from The Untethered Soul that shatter the illusions we cling to. Together, they unpack how perfectionism, people-pleasing, and old beliefs aren’t protecting you — they’re trapping you.

Real freedom doesn’t come from managing life. It comes from surrendering to it.
It comes from feeling the hard emotions, letting go of the old stories, and choosing expansion over safety.

You’re not broken. You’re not behind.

You’re just one courageous breath away from everything you’ve been searching for.
