Send us Fan Mail In this week’s episode of Earrings Off, we talk with Sheila Glazov, creator of What Color Is Your Brain?, about how understanding personality “brain colors” can improve communication, relationships, parenting, teamwork, and even money conversations.  Sheila introduces a colorful way to understand the people around us — from yellow to blue, green to orange — but what do those colors really reveal about how we think, communicate, love, parent, work, and even handle money? The big takeaway? We all have a “brainbow,” and when we learn to listen with kindness and understand how others think, we can reduce conflict and build stronger connections at home, work, and beyond. Listen to the full episode to discover what each Brain Color means — and then tell us in the comments which color you think sounds most like you! 🎙️ Listen to Earrings Off Podcast everyday with new episodes dropping every Sunday after 4pm est on your favorite podcast platform. ____________ Sheila Glasov's Website: https://sheilaglazov.com/  ____________  / LET'S CONNECT ON INSTAGRAM: -IG: https://www.instagram.com/theearringsoffpodcast/?next=%2F // S U B S C R I B E New Podcasts and Blogs Every Week https://www.earringsoff.com/subscribe Youtube | https://www.youtube.com/@earringsoffpodcast/videos // F O L L O W    Website | www.earringsoff.com Facebook |  Earrings Off Support the show

Send us Fan Mail In this week’s episode Lou and Teresa talk about the courage to let go. Sometimes the hardest thing to let go of isn't something bad. It's something familiar. In this episode, the Earrings Off hosts explore why growth often requires releasing what once felt safe. They discuss the fear of change, the comfort of familiarity, and why staying in places we've outgrown can limit our potential. Using the powerful analogy of the butterfly and its cocoon, Lou and Teresa examine how the very things that once protected us can eventually prevent us from fully becoming who we're meant to be. If you've ever felt stuck between the comfort of where you are and the possibility of who you're becoming, this episode is for you. You may not be losing your life. You may simply be outgrowing it.  A special shoutout to Mantra Magazine for providing the inspiration for the Earrings Off hosts discussion on taking risks.

Send us Fan Mail Sex toys thrown onto WNBA courts are not pranks; they’re acts of harassment that demean the athletes, disrupt the game, and send a dangerous message to young girls watching. In this week’s episode, Lou breaks down why these incidents matter, how they undermine decades of progress in women’s sports, and what the league and fans must do to stop them.   Lou has been watching the WNBA since the days when you had to hunt for a broadcast and read the newspaper to find out who won. She’s seen this league grow, evolve, and fight for visibility. WNBA players sacrifice everything — their time, their bodies, their family moments — to play at the highest level. They are mothers, partners, business owners, leaders, and icons.   They deserve respect. They deserve safety. They deserve better.   This episode is a call to action: Protect the players. Protect the game. Protect the future of women’s sports. 🎙️ Listen to Earrings Off Podcast everyday with new episodes dropping every Sunday after 4pm est on your favorite podcast platform.  / LET'S CONNECT ON INSTAGRAM: -IG: https://www.instagram.com/theearringsoffpodcast/?next=%2F // S U B S C R I B E New Podcasts and Blogs Every Week https://www.earringsoff.com/subscribe Youtube | https://www.youtube.com/@earringsoffpodcast/videos // F O L L O W    Website | www.earringsoff.com Facebook |  Earrings Off   Support the show       Support the show

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Earrings Off, Teresa and Lou talk about the emotional shock that comes after a diagnosis—and how quickly our minds can spiral into fear, Google searches, worst-case scenarios, and comparisons to other people’s stories.

From asking questions and seeking support to becoming the CEO of our own health, this conversation is a reminder that mindset matters. Your diagnosis may be part of your story, but the next chapters are still being written—and you still have a pen in your hand. / LET'S CONNECT ON INSTAGRAM: -IG: https://www.instagram.com/theearringsoffpodcast/?next=%2F // S U B S C R I B E New Podcasts and Blogs Every Week https://www.earringsoff.com/subscribe Youtube | https://www.youtube.com/@earringsoffpodcast/videos // F O L L O W    Website | www.earringsoff.com Facebook |  Earrings Off Support the show
