Ep 17: Shyly Hiding Beyond the Stories We Tell Ourselves w/ Shanda Ceretti

Labels—we all have them. Whether it’s shy, sensitive, strong, or stubborn, these words are pinned to us by others or by ourselves, and they shape how we move through the world.

But what if those labels are just stories?

What if they’re holding you back from who you truly are?

In this episode of Jus Talkin', Shanda Ceretti shares her powerful journey of transformation, shedding the labels that confined her and stepping into her authentic self. As a Certified Transformational Life Coach, Shanda helps others strip away the layers of conditioning and find their true, unfiltered essence. Through her own experience, she reveals how living with intention, healing trauma, and redefining one’s story can lead to a life that’s not just lived—but deeply felt.

EP 16: Breathe, Sleep, Heal w/ Tiffany Ludwicki

In this episode of Jus Talkin’, I sit down with Tiffany Ludwicki—a forward-thinking health coach and myofunctional therapist who is redefining what it means to breathe, sleep, and live well. From alleviating snoring and sleep apnea to addressing posture and jaw alignment, Tiffany shares her unique approach that fuses dental hygiene, health coaching, and airway-focused therapy to unlock true rest and resilience.

Through her work, Tiffany helps clients reframe the way they breathe, improving sleep quality, enhancing resilience, and increasing overall vitality. Her passion for preventative health shines through as she explains the physiological connections between tongue placement, nasal breathing, and holistic health—breaking down the science behind why mouth breathing isn't just inconvenient—it’s a barrier to optimal well-being.

• How childhood habits shape our breathing and posture for life

• The hidden dangers of mouth breathing and how it affects sleep

• Why snoring isn’t just annoying—it’s a sign of deeper issues

• The connection between jaw alignment and sleep apnea

• Practical exercises to improve breathing and enhance health

• The power of preventative health over reactive medicine

Tiffany brings her expertise to the conversation with raw honesty and actionable insights, challenging us to rethink how we approach our health from the very foundation of breath.

EP 15: From Cairo to the Rock: Beyond a Fighter w/ Hady Tareq Ahmed

In this episode of Jus Talkin’, I sit down with Hady Tareq Ahmed — a passionate change-maker whose life journey starts in Egypt and finds him on the remote 'Rock' of Newfoundland, Canada.

Born and raised in Egypt, Hady shares his story of navigating his identity as a child that changed his life, the culture and family that shaped him, and now belonging within a place that he didn't even know existed.

From early experiences with self-image and worth, to discovering his purpose and passion in mixed martial arts, Hady’s guided by his connection to something higher and the supportive relationships surrounding him. His honesty is both disarming and deeply resonant.

• Growing up between two worlds and learning to trust inner guidance

• Being born into privilege but blind to it

• The silent suffering of men, especially immigrants far from home

• Finding meaning through discomfort, purpose through curiosity, and clarity through pain

• Why MMA is anything but violent

• Giving back to the community through mentorship

Hady brings a unique lens to his coaching, community building, and storytelling — reminding us that healing doesn’t have to be lonely, and transformation begins with honest conversations and strong role models.

This one holds depth, rawness, and hope.
