EPISODE 12 | Welcome to Magic in the Madness with your host Andrea Sarmiento. This week I dive deep into the concept of investing in your health (especially as a 20-something).

EPISODE 7 | Welcome to Magic in the Madness with your host Andrea Sarmiento. This week I've been doing so much and feeling overwhelmed in the concept of having to do it all. Is it hustle culture?
