Send us a text What happens when life suddenly forces you to reinvent yourself? When Jamie Lee Ruiz stepped onto the Super Bowl stage with Jennifer Lopez in 2020, she had no idea it would mark both the pinnacle and conclusion of her professional dance career. Weeks later, as the world shut down, this accomplished dancer who had performed with Becky G, Tyga, Chris Brown, and Pitbull found herself facing an unexpected crossroads. In this deeply moving conversation, Jamie takes us through the raw, vulnerable journey of her transformation. The pandemic stripped away the constant motion of her dancer lifestyle, leaving her alone with uncomfortable truths about her relationship with herself. "I had no choice but to look at it and sit with it," she reveals, describing the intense self-love bootcamp she created to heal her relationship with herself. The magic of Jamie's story lies in how she turned crisis into opportunity. When her intuition whispered that she should help others through coaching, she took a terrifying leap of faith—creating a simple announcement about life coaching services and "throwing her phone across the room" after posting it. This brave act began a profound journey that led to her current work as an intuitive coach, where she guides others through manifestation and personal transformation. Jamie breaks down her manifestation process with refreshing clarity: identifying true desires, recognizing limiting beliefs, questioning if those beliefs are "ultimate truths," creating new beliefs, taking inspired action, and practicing gratitude throughout. "If I can live in a state of gratitude," she explains, "the universe is always matching me going, 'She's so grateful for what she has. Let me give her more to be grateful for.'" What makes Jamie's approach unique is how she's integrated her dance background with her spiritual work. Rather than abandoning her past identity, she's embraced it, creating offerings like "Sacral Sundays"—spiritual dance classes for beginners focused on embodiment. "A lot of manifestation is about embodiment," she shares. "If you can't feel good and confident in this body, that is who you're being and that is what you're attracting." Whether you're facing your own reinvention, struggling with limiting beliefs, or simply curious about manifestation, Jamie's journey offers profound wisdom about listening to your intuition even when logic says otherwise.

Send us a text Danny Jolles takes Kayla Becker and Vanessa Curry on a hilarious journey through the intersections of comedy and acting, revealing how witnessing Kevin Hart's first-ever comedy special completely redirected his career path. "I went to NYU to be a dramatic actor, studying the Method where Robert De Niro and Al Pacino studied. Then I saw Kevin Hart perform, and the next day, I quit everything else to focus entirely on stand-up." Currently appearing on HBO's "Hacks" as writer Nate opposite Jean Smart, Danny shares behind-the-scenes insights about his time on "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" and the surprisingly elaborate preparation behind his small but memorable role in Damien Chazelle's "Babylon." His five-month commitment to mastering an antique typewriter for a brief scene showcases the dedication that's made him a director's favorite. The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Danny discusses his innovative stand-up special "You Choose" – a choose-your-own-adventure comedy experience where viewers select which opinions they want to hear him express. "I'm so proud of it as an artistic piece. Career-wise, we could call it a failure, but artistically, I stand by it as one of the coolest pieces ever made." This experimental approach to comedy highlights Danny's willingness to push boundaries while honoring comedy traditions, from Jerry Lewis to Dane Cook. Throughout our chat, Danny demonstrates the quick wit and thoughtful perspective that's earned him spots on the nation's biggest comedy stages. Whether discussing the unexpected kindness of comedy legends like Bill Burr or revealing what it's really like working with difficult co-stars, his insights are both entertaining and illuminating. Don't miss Danny on tour across the country, and his parting wisdom: "Stand-up comedy is like hockey – it's great to watch on TV, but it's so much better in person." Find your local comedy club, look up the next few comics, and experience the magic live.
