#161 Improv Comedy Classes an Avenue to More Playfulness, Creativity, and Better Communication.
Marta On The Move Podcast- Hosted by Marta Napoleone Mazzoni
Welcome back all! Today I am going to be exploring more into my new found passion of Improv comedy classes and why I am here to tell all of you, to try one out in your own hometown. On episode 158 I delved into some deep content about facing your I directly referenced Phil and I pushing past our awkwardness and joining Improv classes. It turns out I wasn't quite done with the subject, and in fact will probably record another podcast about how to make meaningful relationships as you age, which Improv will be involved in that discussion as well. What can I say... When I am into something... I...

#160 A Rest and Reset. My Experience with 150 Days of No Alcohol, Caffeine, or Sugar.
Marta On The Move Podcast- Hosted by Marta Napoleone Mazzoni
Every year my husband and I do a sort of reset after the holidays. We aren't people who drink a ton. We stick with nicer wines and maybe a Negroni or two when out. Our diets are pretty good, and I usually only consume matcha or decaf espresso in limited amounts. However, the holidays build and build upon these vices, and since we have been eating cleaner every year, when we have more than we should, our bodies feel it more. Sleep gets affected, memories of a story the night before are hazy, brain fog, bloating, and anxiety increases so slowly you don't realize how badly you feel. How much your...

#159 Working with Feelings of Self Doubt and Inadequacy? Ditch Comparing Yourself to Others.
Marta On The Move Podcast- Hosted by Marta Napoleone Mazzoni
This is a subject I have avoided writing or speaking about. I think this avoidance was unconscious, but I am now highly aware of it. I am aware of it because at many a time in my life I have suffered from self doubt, imposter syndrome (I didn't even know that existed until two years ago), and confidence issues. This month is particularly bad for me. I could not understand why I would awaken to dread and sadness. I felt on many days no motivation at all. I know I am still healing from grief, but it was more than that. Something was nagging at me, and I realized it was my own self doubt. I have...

#158 Facing Fears and Finding Joy in Life Through Discomfort
Marta On The Move Podcast- Hosted by Marta Napoleone Mazzoni
Fear– An unpleasant often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger. We are not immune to fear. It comes to us like waves and is usually unwelcome. There are global fears such as the war in Ukraine, global warming, food shortages, death. Death of a loved one, or our own amount of time on this spinning globe. I will touch on some of that later, but today I want to tackle some fears that we ourselves can have control over to allow us to stretch outside our comfort zones, try new things, and find peace and joy in our lives. Fear stems from uncertainty and doubt. How do we...

#158 What's in Your Toolbox? Simple Tips to Help Reduce Anxiety and Stress.
Marta On The Move Podcast- Hosted by Marta Napoleone Mazzoni
We all have a toolbox in our home. A toolbox is a collection of items that is there when we need it in case we have something to fix. All handy, and all in one place. It probably contains at least one of the following items- Hammer, wrench, nails, measuring tape, screw driver, etc. We create these boxes for fixing things in our home, but have you ever thought to create your own personal toolbox to use as a coping mechanism? I sure as hell didn't. Not until I heard someone talk about their own list of things that they held inside of their boxes. When life got hard, when they felt down and out,...

#157 Five Books That Got Me Through My First 6 Months of Loss.
Marta On The Move Podcast- Hosted by Marta Napoleone Mazzoni
I had someone ask me recently what the fives books that really helped me with this last year of losing my sister. I figured this would be a good opportunity to put them in one place in the hopes that the people who need them, will find them. If you know someone who is grieving and don't know how to help them, one of these or another read delivered to their house is a wonderful way to show them they are on your mind. Friends and family sent me books during this time, and I feel that more than flowers, or candy (Aside from hand written notes because I loved those) recieving the gift of a book in...

#156 Life After Death- A Journey with Grief. What Has Helped, What Hasn't.
Marta On The Move Podcast- Hosted by Marta Napoleone Mazzoni
*Update* I am no longer in a coffeeshop in Philly, but finally got up to record this post as a podcast episode. It is February now. Enjoy and stay warm. I find myself sitting in a coffeeshop in Philly overwhelmed by how many friends and strangers have reached out to me about losing someone they cared about in their lives recently. I have been working on this post for a while, quietly coming back to it time and time again over the past year, and never ready to post or record it. I am ready now because I hope it helps someone who is feeling the way I do. I also wanted to shine more light on...

#154 A Letter to Croatia- What I loved and What Annoyed Me. MOTM Adventures.
Marta On The Move Podcast- Hosted by Marta Napoleone Mazzoni
Dear Croatia... I have a lot to say to you, and I hope I summed it up in this episode. I needed to collect my thoughts, to gather up my senses. I also needed some time to completely fall apart when I got home from this month long odyssey. Reintroduction is always hard. In this episode I talk about reasons that I both completely love, and reasons why I am completely annoyed with Croatia. I hope you find each of them useful, or at the very least somewhat amusing. It might even convince you to book your next trip there. To the 24 guests that joined me for my first ever yoga sailing...
info_outline#104 Aaron Kleiber
Aaron Kleiber has been on my show once before when I hosted a charity event at Arcade Comedy. He is a hilariously funny human being, and is about to take to the stage once more to record a special one hour live comedy show here in Pittsburgh at the Carnegie Music Hall of Homestead on March 3rd. You should be there, it is being recorded, and will hopefully air on national television one day. You heard it here first!
Aside from his exciting news, I really wanted to talk with him about his life on the road. This guy travels the entire realm of North America, frequently. He is married with three kids, and comedy is his full time job. Listeners will get some hilarious stories about him on the road with other comedians he has worked with, including- Bob Sagat.
Aspiring comedians could use a tip or two from him on how to balance that work/life relationship while traveling. Aaron gives a ton of helpful suggestions. Also, how to own up into loving yourself and what you do. YOU ARE WORTHY!
At one point, I ask Aaron to tell me the worst travel story he remembers from his years on the road, and it is a great one that includes being stuck in an airport when all flights get canceled. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
This episode is sponsored by Marriot Hotels (If you listen to the episode, you will realize why this is hilarious.) I reached out to Marriot after having this conversation with Aaron about his horror story, and how Marriot came through for him in a time when he needed it.
If you need a comfortable place to stay while exploring my fair hometown of Pittsburgh, or happen to be stuck like Aaron was a while back, The Towneplace Suites Pittsburgh airport and the Fairfield inn and Suites Pittsburgh airport located in Robinson just 7 minutes from the airport, are the perfect places to lay your head for a few nights while you await your flight. They will even send a shuttle to pick you up at the airport when your flights arrives. No stress, and no extra bucks for a taxi to get you to your hotel, where you will want to just sit back and relax. Book online at www.Marriot.com
